water edition
Did they add fun gameplay or satisfying exploration yet
>>750725714Nope, only gay marriage
>>750725714The underwater stuff seems amazing, but if your expectation is good loot instead of just nice scenery and different cosmetics, then nah. For me the game is really nice to look at in kind of addicting way, but it is definitely not for everyone.
>>750725714korean offline mmo please understand
Still need to clear the main quest but taking a quick break to sail with oongka since it seems like you can at least access that part of the DLC before finishing the game. Unarmed oongka is kinda fun although I still don't remember what food to get I've just been scavenging from enemies
>>750725969that scenery is pretty bad, everything is blurry
does anyone know what happened to the sexy circus dancer? she doesn't exist in my save anymore.
>>750726464It's just a bad screen for some reason; the photomod now blurs everything in the game. The previous path did the opposite and oversharped everything.
>>750725969What is that wall anyone can mantle over defending from?
I can't wait to finally advance enough to get to thishttps://youtu.be/6XYF0f84B_c
>>750726823cant marry her...
>>750726823can you marry her
>>750727009why not?
>>750725969Elden Ring looks better
>>750727218DLC unboughted
I'm playing as a simple trader.
>>750727218im 90% sure this is from the base game, why do you keep reposting it
>>750728521tbf the one on the right gets like 36 attack and +1 crit
>>750725969how much underwater content is there? It's the main reason I haven't bought the game yet. I want good underwater ggameplayshill me on it
>>750728581no
>>750725647Is this what passes for gameplay in 2026? He's just fucking standing there.
Does the water look better with the new patch/dlc?
they fixed the pioneering so i could get out on the ocean and now i have a really cool new bug where cressets arent interactable so theres no fast travel points out here
>>750679291Really? My 6750xt can handle the game okayish (at medium 1440p 60fps, but still) and the 9060 is stronger than the 6750.
>>750726489unlucky>>750728917
>>750729432wtff i don't wanna start a new save bro. why did she disappear... fuck my truecel life
>>750728521how many times are you going to ignore getting btfo?
>>750729710apparently if you do the festival thing at camp named characters show up
>>750729937fuck
>>750730603why fuck it might work for you
how the FUCK do I fix nights looking like fucking midday? I installed the renodx mod but still looks like ass
>>750730695get the bad weather gear and activate some rain whenever its night time
>>750730746what the fuck
>>750729937thanks i'll look into this. didn't know that was even i named character. i was trying to take pictures and accidentally tackled her, then she ran away and i never saw her again
>>750730851rain makes it really hard to see at night
some good screenshots of the new areas?
Anyone play CD on the base PS5? I heard CD runs badly on it.
>4060>1440pplease include me in your prayers
back on release i played on mkb. now i'm trying again on controller and i don't know how to do SHIT
>>750728521god i fucking hate this, it is game ruining for me and i love everything else about the game. it kills any excitement or motvation to treasure hunt when every weapon is that same and youre effectively just getting a new weapon skin
Do I seriously have to buy the dlc just to find out who's romanceable in the first place? I dont care about the ocean and if my romance partner of choice isnt an option thats money down the drain.
>>750725647Nice looking water.
>>750725647there's a good reason people stopped talking about this "game"its a non game, a tax write off, a discarded mmo repurposed into a few recoupped losses for a failed korean dev, a glorified tech demo with zero soul
>>750730978ching chong ping pong
>>750731196>3080>4kfuck am i praying for
>>750732481she has nice legs
>>750730695night used to be dark but players whined that they couldnt see shit at night, resulting in making night time as light as day. so blame them
>>750731293you're getting abyss gears, the actually important weapons have ones unique to it. its the same thing
I'll wait for two weeks before installing the DLC.I've blocked steam updates and am still playing the older version, waiting for every mod to get updated...
>>750733381no it's not fucking samethe abyss gears on weapons are all just different varieties of shoot out projectiles when attacking, and even those are minority. there's no satisfaction in finding new gear because it's essentially cosmetic
>>750733630lets see what you're asking for:the same meta op weapon that everyone that ever plays the game will use the same exact shit, then they will cry for transmog to make it look how they want. oh, guess what, they all transmog it into the same exact bullshit edgy armor.pearl abyss at least stops pretending like its any different and gives you a more direct and honest way of itemization. if theres any criticism i can give, is that they didn't go far enough. even random sydmon or bekker bullshit should have gears or augments on it too so you don't just have clear trash, and can sometimes find unexpected value.

>all the people that came to check out crimson dlc played their 2 hours and hopped right back to...>aion 2holy shit grim. its even worse than ncslop
>>750733967source?
>>750733984NTA, but heres sauce.
>>750733630
>>750733967have never even thought about playing that
Do I really have to stop doing mission dispatches to get enough people to run more than a couple stores...? What kind of shitty design is this?
>>750733683seethe snoy
>>750732871
>>750734887sounds like you dont have enough resources to run a store
>>750733729i'm asking for non-homogenized itemization, not whatever nonsense you dreamed up
>>750735085then you'll start crying for transmog, which essentially ends up with a system 95% the same as what this game has.
since there is gay marriage in this game now, can I marry multiple women?
>>750725647
>>750728720he's using some weird item only like 5 people know about, to affect water in a way only 1 person has ever doneit's a mystery to me what's going on in the webm but it's cool.I saw some really weird water tech videos for this game. like one guy re-routed a river and made an artifiicial pond and then dumped 1000 fish into it and it just werked.
>>750733473>was thinking I could just save edit the pre-order bonus>apparently pearl abyss went full jew and fixed that>now I will never get the diving suit unless it gets added to the transmog modFeels bad man.
>>750733779NTA but thanks. Im not far in at all so I dont know how big of a problem thisll really be but should be nice to have.
>PEOPLE ARE STILL PLAYING THIS FAGGOT SLOPHAHAHAA HUGE DAY 1 REGRET BUY. WAS THE MOST AVERAGE GAME EVERKYS OP
>>750725647Very good looking water
why is this one guy so upset about the game
>>750735326no it doesn't end up the same, because then the gear you find starts to actually fucking matter instead of just being cosmetic. whether it's interesting to play around with or not depends entirely on the game designers, but anything would be an upgrade to homogenized same-stat crap the game has now
this game is just BotW 2.0 but without a cohesive identity or anything truly desirable about the world or characters. It's just a hodgepodge of different concepts, themes, art styles, buildings, environments, etc. with no cohesive identity that ties it all together because the game was just the devs saying "what it these guys were vikings and these guys knights and these guys muslims and these guys celtics and there's also giants and robots and magic and dragons and fairies and mechs and aliens" and none of it makes any sense because it's just a bunch of different themes mashed together but it has some cool tech and "Whoa you can do this!" moments like BotW had, but at its core there is nothing really attractive about the game that makes you immersed. No story that you will remember for years, no characters that stand out, just a massive open world with a bunch of pointless bullshit to do in it.
sad, but i guess twitter is the place to see content and info about the dlc. everywhere else sucks ass. reddit (allah forgive me) is complete garbage brownfags all whining about performance and shitting everywhere, and youtube search is fucking garbage and its all ai generated rehash slop that isn't even correct
>>750736124There are other diving suits I believeAlso, transmog mods definitely fix that. Even right now
where do i build and install ship upgrades?
>>750736351I feel like I've already answered and debunked this, the same arguments pop up every time it's tiringThe story is shit though but videogames don't need good stories to be good
>>750736323I have no idea. I genuinely think it's basically the best game ever.
>>750736691It's not even shit though. Compare it to a TES game and it's actually just amazing since those games do story so much worse. The cutscene direction is even inarguably kino at times.
>>750736037It's not a weird item, it's the kuku EMP pack. The water system simulates up to (so only richfags) 250k water particles near you for a shallow water simulation. For whatever reason, due to the engines systemic rules, the EMP shockwave from the kuku pack, EMP weapons, and the EMP blast from ATAG breaks the water simulation, causing the simulated particles to bloat and blast apart. But due to the way the shallow water system works, the particles can't just fly off as spray. So instead the simulation just swell like a sponge with virtual "air" between the particles, creating temporary fake volume which then settles. Because the engine tries to smooth the particles as one continuous liquid volume, using short cooldown blasts means you can keep diffusing the particles until you literally overflow the land. But Pearl Abyss saw this coming and added strict limits where the simulated particles cannot accidentally spill past, so that the game doesn't literally implode.
>>750737238I see I see(I don't). So it's a mystery item huh. I like the puddles in this game though I must say that webms don't do the water justice. It looks so good at high frame rates and uncompressed.
But are there big dicked shotas and do they have jiggle physics?
>>750737342Basically the water is just a bunch of large spheres being simulated. Think about dumping hundreds of apples on a stream and watching it flow down. That's what it is, except invisible simulated spheres. But they use algorithms to smooth them so it looks like continuous flowing water, and not a lumpy ball soup. So when an EMP blast basically shoves "air" through that ball pit, the water becomes less dense. Because the simulation uses shallow water equations, the particles can't fly left or right or away. It measures the height. So the particles can only bloat upwards, becoming less dense. The algorithm cannot show you water as the particle soup it is, so it stitches all the loose particles together to look like continuous water, no matter how spread apart the particles get. Sorry if that still doesn't make sense. Anyways watch this autistic jap intentionally break the game.https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=W89oR8qUDaQ&t=539s

I cant decide between this and Enshrouded. I dont really care for full-on building autism, the house or whatever in CD is probably enough for me so Id rather trade deep building for other gameplay, but theres something about CDs combat and just general...everything that feels really awkward.
>>750738535enshrouded is arguably the more cohesive and developed package. crimson desert is pretty shallow. its only really for a specific type of player that likes a small sample of everything, never getting deep into much.
>>750736351Genshin is BOTW but a real game.Crimson Desert is more like the ultimate open world fantasy RPG game rather than a clone of any one game like BOTW. It honestly doesn't borrow much from BOTW, just gliding and climbing on stuff but it's not like BOTW invented those things.
>>750738758I get that impression too from what Ive sampled of both, but in Enshrouded I cant tame a raccoon and have it follow me around.
>>750738535CD's combat gets a lot better when you unlock a bunch of moves and when you get attack and movement speed for your character. I overly love the game but I'll admit that the combat feels pretty weird at the beginning.
>>750738535>>750738758Enshrouded is absolute garbage in comparison, to compare the 2 is criminalCrimson Desert is GOTY for me so far while enshrounded is like a 6/10 meh game
>>750738967Im not very far in either one but my general impression are Enshrouded is an 8/10 and CD feels like a 7/10. But I also get the impression that CD has better payoff and will grow into a 9/10 as I continue to play.
>>750738827thats what i mean. crimson desert isnt a bad game, but its just not a deep game. for someone who can be content with small random things like taming a raccoon but not actually doing anything with it or being meaningful, then yea you can have some fun with it. but enshrouded has a much deeper and meaningful system, which includes shaping the terrain. but its not just for creator types, it has tons of good pve content too
>>750738967We must live in some sort of horror existence since there are probably tons of people that would unironically compare them as some sort of equals. Some people just can't think, it's scary.
>>750738967you have a right to your opinion, but you're the odd one out. it doesnt need to be a competition, but most people agree that its a better game. cheaper too, as a bonus. and actually optimized.
>>750738535Enshrouded if you want exploring, loot that matters, dungeons, character builds.CD if you want incoherent story, horrible quests, a dozen undercooked systems and no meaningful rewards for exploration.
is the mini skirt mod updated
>>750739298It's bizarre that Valheim has 4 times the reviews when its a far worse game. At least the player count difference between the two is very slowly shrinking.
>>750739410because it was a time and place release and became flavor of the month. enshrouded never had that
>>750739410Valheim was laughably cheap when it launched in early access and captured a lot of players by being released at the "right" time.
>>750733630Bruh, it's a range. Some are projectiles, some of them they literally have unique combos to melee finishers, others add status effects or knock-ups.>>750733729Literally this.
Can they please for the love of fucking god turn this into a MMO? I want to play it forever. BDO has too much bloat and it plays/scales horrible at 4K
>>750739658>194 KB JPGCan they please for the love of fucking god turn this into a MMO?It was originally an MMO
>>750738046That's actually really cool. It just looks like a weird bug before a cool simulation but it's in fact doing its best to be realistic.
>>750738046Also I love these kinds of videos.>"what were you doing last night anon">......
>>750739774I'm aware. I'm livid that they course corrected because it could have been my forever game. I envision a scenario where they use this as a foundation for a new MMO like Runescape Dragonwilds or just veer into Where Winds Meet/Genshin Impact territory with the existing game.
>>750739658I really don't know how they'd convert this. They'd have to release a different game.
>>750738813Genshin is not BotW it’s the worlds biggest scrimblo chopped up into mobile compatible slop with dogshit exploration mechanics and an ai generated story with no gameplay involved. I don’t even understand how they sell characters there’s nothing to do with them. All their games epitomize selling a fantasy instead of a game. ZZZ is a fraction of genshins already shallow combat but with coom. It’s baffling that people pay for this
>>750739568>Some are projectilesall of them projectiles>some of them they literally have unique combos to melee finishersno they don't. there's a "fire arrows when you kill an enemy with a finisher" gear, guess what - they're just projectiles>others add status effects(from projectiles) which don't matter because there's no building around neither status effects nor damage types. poison spit gear from the spider boss is a good example>knock-upsi don't remember any that do that>Literally this.no, disingenuous retard, it's not literally this. if you're the type to google "THE MOST OP WEAPON BUILD YOUTUBE GUIDE" (guess what - cd has those types of videos despite its trash samey loot anyway lol) and follow it to the t then probably, but not all people are like you
>>750739904ladies and gentlemen I've found it, the least unhinged tendie
>>750725754Why tf does every video game have to be gay nowadays...
>>750739906You're the disingenuous fucking retard. Just fuck off already faggot.It's literally NOT all projectiles, some of the runes are built into weapon combos, some of them create an area effect, or a status like poison.
very prompt-coded selection at the demenissian port
>>750740014all gears that you slot into weapons are just adding projectiles to attacks, stop lying you fucking clown
>>750740010Sadly, theyre not.
>>750739887It'd be comparable to GTA5/GTA:Online IMOshared mechanics, entirely different content. Personally I would want it to be sold as a different title so people don't review bomb it over stupid bullshit like MTX.

>>750738813Genshin is the only videogame my wife actually plays. I've sat and watched her play it. Seems like an action heavy rpg with multiple characters each with their own abilities and combos. Way more gameplay than snooze of the wild.
>>750740071It's kind of impressive how much they probably used AI before it got good. In retrospect that's how they've been able to do so much, probably.I for one unironically greatly enjoyed the AI generated dialogue and art for all the bounties. I just wish the bounty hunting gameplay was more fun somehow. You just tackle them and travel 5000km with them whining.
The game isnt very good, but it is pretty occasionally. The studio should do a remake where they trash all the story, characters, gameplay mechanics and reuse the map to save money and build a new game on top of it.
>>750740351It borrowed the main gameplay loop from BOTW though which is that in every single direction you look at all times there is a POI and it's usually a puzzle or challenge giving you some small reward. But then it adds shitloads of stuff on top of that, making it less of a soulless tech demo and more of a game.
>>750740382They literally used AI for some of the paintings when it first released. This isn't me complaining, because they took the feedback seriously and added actual painterly images almost immediately after.
>>750740415The gameplay/combat is Dragon's Dogma 2-tier when you master the control scheme, the control scheme is just overly complex because there's 25 layers of systems mapped to a controller.
>>750740505gacha dailies are soulessbotw respects your time, the fun ends only when you want it to.
>>750740493I liked that slop, it was from really old models and looked funny lol.They SAID they replaced all of it but they actually didn't which is kinda based.
>>750740505The combo system is DMC tier deep and yet there's a wider breadth of viable gameplay modes so it's deeper overall. Like how you have do multiple different types of ranged builds or how you can just play it like a Souls or a casual musou.
>>750736351the faustian soul is driven by an infinite horizon. you wouldnt get it unless youre a western soul(in a sligthly autistic heterosexual male's body)
>>750741048>all this shit to kill a few regular enemiescould've just held strong attack to the same effect, would've been faster too
>>750741228You could make the same argument in fighting games. High skill ceiling when you could just punch someone to KO.
>>750741228>why do something fun when something boring gets me the same achievementyeah this game isn't for you
>>750741228
>>750739658102910 player wars are overrated. I'd take a seamless phasing GTA Online style multiplayer. Instead of lobbies, just phase in and out some capped amount of people (to manage load for physics and simulation) so you can see around the world. Then do PvE as PvP. 10 players all ragdolling eachother obviously isn't possible or even very fun, so just allow 1v1 duels, or indirect PvP where you can literally raid another persons strong hold or castle and fight their custom mercenary band. Assign your champion or first mate and wage war on them, and them to you. Your strongest mercenary member becomes a miniboss or even an outright boss to the others. Imagine players build the dungeon content that other players play? I build my castle with some fucking crazy ass labyrinth and they cut through my guys and fight bosses and my dragon pets and shit. Then I go to his castle and do the same. Damn they need to hire me.
>>750725647>release dlc>no sale on base gamethese people dont understand how to make money
>dlss performance mode>sub 60fpsNOOOOOOOOOOOOO
>punch a shark to tame itreminds me of crysis
>>750741524Oh they're making money.
>>750741504Yeah I think Guild Wars 3 is onto something with their 30 player 'servers' and WoW Forever's 10 player raids. Runescape 4 is going to be using meshed servers too. Large playercounts only matter if you're doing sandbox MMO stuff.
>>750741356except this isn't a fighting game and you're not fighting a human opponent but a bunch of ai mooks that can't even strike you back because they get stunlocked by a general fart in their direction>>750741387sure it's fun. for like 10 hours
>half naked man with a giant katana and his pet badger breaks into my house>puts on a mask and steals my recipe for grilled cheese and a book on tailoring>walks outside whistles for his bear and rides away
>>750740954they should have just used a newer model that does a better job
the performance of dlc content is so fucking horrendous i bet the whole engine is vibe coded from ai. it would explain why the pop in is so bad, why the lighting is even worse, and why performance is now even worse too
>>750741752its just generic painting art no one ever pays attention to
>>750741771works on my machine, actually it works even better than base game did
>>750740323yeh they paid him 100k to do it probably. but not even he can save 30k ccu floppage
This game needs some incredible dungeoneering/itemization like Dragon's Dogma 2's Dark Arisen expansion. You have the systems. Now you just need the content to justify all of it.
>>750741460post updated matthias webm, the dlc fight on hard mode is still easy, but at least they salvaged his honor by not making him a complete pushover this time
>>750735972The entire game looks boring like all korean and chinese games and this also looks superficial and pointless, but the presentation here does look great. This is the first time I've ever seen the concept of underwater combat pulled off even remotely decently. That pop-in is strange though. Surely they could have written efficient culling in their custom engine? The entire surface should be culled and the sea floor LoDs should be aggressive since the water is murky.
>>750741821Itemization that makes the entire base game pointless after they did absolutely nothing to fix any of the games problems for 2 years.
>>750742019is this just your entire life now?
>>750741580MMO devs have long realized that the people that want 109210 player majestic epic lagfests are a minority. They're a novelty and everyone wants to experience it once or twice, but in actual volume content, it's not something that lasts. But even though MMO devs responded to player habits by putting more single player, or single player possible content in their MMOs, people still stick around because they want people as window dressing. They want to see others roaming around because it makes the world feel lived in and validated. "Alone together", as its dubbed. Not overwhelmed by people, but given the option to engage with other players on their own terms. Unless you can mod to infinity like with Bethesda games, people will get bored if it remains single player.
>>750742019Sure, but it's only a matter of time until the overhaul mods hit and that gear is distributed/rebalanced throughout the base game.
>>750742094people already made mods like thatadding random stats doesnt make the game better though
>>750742019This is describing Dragon's Dogma right? (I don't know anything about it)
>>750742047ching-chong ding-dong, shillbot script misfired. should give it at least 2 posts worth of context
>>750742160Not with Dark Arisen intact. Notable modders are still playing through Norgan. Don't expect the more systemic mods to be updated until late December-January at the earliest.
>>750742161Yes, Dragon's Dogma 2As far as I've seen, Crimson Desert's DLC hasn't invalidated the base game.
>>750728603you can punch a shark in the head then ride it
>>750742263can't invalidate items if they're all the same. truly genius move, you'll even get stockholm syndrome'd retards telling you how it's actually amazing that there's no real gear progression throughout 100+ hours of playtime
>>750742263I like a game that doesn't invalidate its older areas. Games like modern WoW just make everything before it a waste of storage space. Games that aren't afraid to have unique things in old areas to make it revisiting once in a while are a gem. Materials that are only available there, certain NPCs, or maybe an occasional event or quest that will lead you back there for whatever reason. A quest from the new zone that asks you to find their relative in old zone? Cool. A very specific service you might need once in a blue moon but its in that old zone, and not simply transplanting everything you could ever need into one hyper dense small node (Crimson Desert already caved on this)? Great.
>>750742437theres a secret legendary shark too
>>750728603No game except Subnautica has ever made underwater content fun. CD DLC didn't solve it. It's not a bad game, but if fun underwater content is your baseline, then don't buy it.
wanna know how to undermine the open world? by putting a teleport every 2 seconds of walking
Someone just needs to make a mod that removes unoscketing abyss gear. Then all special gear is unique
>>750742636It'd still be fucking boring for the most part. It needs build-defining qualities, like speccing into damage type for example, or altering some of your moves.
>>750742476>i used the same weapon all game and it's the same weapon, how could this happen to me?why are the people who recreationally complain in these threads always such NPCs kek>nooo i need an INCENTIVE to have fun where are my roguelike elements to keep things interesting???
>>750742730They literally ARE the same weapon though. There are 3 (maybe 4 for two-handers, I forget) exact same stat bases. The only exceptions are weapons that break after some hits and kuku gear.
>make gear different>everyone just wears the exact same thing because there will be an objective best thing and everything else is completely worthless.It already works that way for gloves
>>750742694sure i can get behind that, as long as the game has no transmog and the devs tell all beggers to shut the fuck up and kick rocks. and that it doesn't turn into path of exile gameplay retardation
>>750742924not an argument for a single player game. not having interesting different gear because people MIGHT meta-slave is just retarded, and I'm 100% sure that's not why they went with this approach. the real reason is that they're just fucking lazy when it comes to actually designing something that might take effort instead of adding 1 million pets for you to tame
>>750743029
>>750741821>we need the grind slopthey only added that to pad out the game in DA because they ran out of money
>>750743301Call it whatever you want, it gave the game longevity and I'm enjoying it. This has potential to be a forever game and I want it.
You couldn't originally upgrade the soul spear right? I swore it only had its unique skill and nothing else. I just got it on my new save and it has refinement and 4 extra slots.
>>750728521True for armor as well. I got quite excited when I found taloned boots in a hidden chest in the mental asylum area. Expected that leg attacks would deal more damage or apply bleed or some shit. Turned out to be no different from any other leather boots in the game.
>>750733031yes
I noticed not many talking about it, but I like the upgraded fire effect. It was admittedly stylistic and unique before, but it didn't look like a flame at all. Now it looks much more convincing. The extra agitation when water is crashing against hard surfaces is a nice touch as well.
>>750743029>>750743080samefagging is pathetic
>>750742627retard
>>750743618what's pathetic is you trying to justify questionable decisions made by the developers out of laziness
>>750743742the perfect game awaits you. in fact, its official launch is only in a bit over a month.
>>750741738but who stores a gold bar in a fireplace?
Can you marry the Shai?
>>750743776i'm sure poe2 will be a better experience than crimson desert when it comes to gear and character building (any game would be better in that regard), but if your retarded ass thinks i suggested the latter implement the former's loot system with affixes then you're wrong
>>750743952download mods and sybausimple asif you would argue they should add more interesting abyss gears, nobody would argue with you. but you're just being a retard
>>750742558that sucks. Open world games really need to work on that shit
>>750744073there are no mods to unfuck the gear
>>750744073He's been fishing for (you)'s in these threads for at least 3 days now. He'll post the same retarded shit in the next thread.
>>750725754Really? This was the one game I was considering buying.
>>750739298>most people agree that its a better game.So you've cross checked all those reviewers to compare their CD and Enshrouded scores? Cause otherwise what you just said is buttfuckingly retarded because you have no idea if there's any crossover between player bases.
>>750744169this is the first crimson desert thread i'm posting in in months, schizo (technically second but the other one i posted in couldn't make it past 15 posts)and yes i have argued the same point in the past because it's just that fucking egregious. if you think i'm the only person on the board that doesn't like loot in this game you're beyond delusional
okay bro
>>750725647i still haven't even launched the game, i'm seeing that it's still getting patches so the play might actually be to play it at the start of next year since i'm going to play something else this month
he samefags himself when no one responds
>>750740098>It'd be comparable to GTA5/GTA:Online IMOnta but holy fuck i'd love for a fantasy/medieval/whatever gta online but with lower graphics to get the most players and more fleshed out things to do
I really wish this game had some sorta co op in it.
>>750728521Wish I knew this were the case before I boughteringed the game and put 10 hours into it, whoever came up with this shit needs to be fired
One of the most iconic helm/hood combos of all time, just sad there isn't more elvish related stuff.
>>750731019Performance on consoles sucks balls it always did. They never touched it either despite shitting out so many patches too.
>>750744563pay attention to Runescape 4 and Guild Wars 3 IMO I think that's where the 'MMO industry' is headed.
>>750744708If GW3 is headed where I think it is, then I think it will be great, I don't know how I feel about the art direction though.
>responds to himselflike poetry
why pirates though? seems like such a random thing for a medieval fantasy setting
fuck my chudcel sawmill owner life
>>750744708>pay attention to Runescape 4i have tried like a dozen times over the last like almost 20 years to get into runescape and then osrsi don't know something about it i just always burn out at the high skill levels and mainly just enjoy like up to 70 or 80 max before i get sick of something and i end up preferring to just start over and do the low levels again
>>750744790this isn't a medieval fantasy setting, this is a ai-generated gook kitchen sink setting
>>750744790Bro it has blimps, air balloons and trains. Random is what they do.
>>750744820Check out Runescape Dragonwilds for a more condensed version of it. Extremely good game getting new quests every month and major updates every 3 months.
>>750744790Magical flying Pterodactyls are perfectly fine.But wind-powered ships and pirates is a straw too far!
>>750744895you dont understand how far down the tech tree ships are
>>750744672>whoever came up with this shit needs to be firedit looks like one of them is in this thread
This world isnt even close to the weirdest shit korea has made. Korea made dungeon fighter where a world that was just fighting goblins and shit ended up with 1000 foot tall mechs chasing you in your truck and the main villain is from earth that exploded and literally New York is floating around in space and it's full of elves and furries because space radiation.Crimson desert is basically just fantasy steampunk
>>750744872i probably will at some point but i still need to get around to palworld and i wasn't a fan of valheim really so idk, i was never a huge rust-like enjoyer, gta online is just a cool formula because i've been really itching for a more chill social-like mmo, like something where you have your character and you still have some sort of progression but there's more focus on non-raid content, like casual battlegrounds pvp, stuff like fishing, minigames, races maybe idk like an evolved club penguin style game there was loads of those right? surely it would be more popular than like vrchat
>>750745010Fantasy steampunk is Arcanum, this is just incoherent mess.
>>750745047It's fun.
>>750745038It's definitely not like Rust, more along the lines of Palworld, Valheim and Enshrouded. Much more RPG focus and structured, and the lifeskilling stuff sets it apart from those three games.
Fucking 40k shit
>>750745072No.
>>750745156>I remarked ... that the machine was remarkableEpic. I'm guessing nobody bothered to proofread this LLM translation.
>>750745156too bad you can't reverse engineer your own suit
>>750745010I cut across Delesyia to get a wardrobe for my armor storage, and not having been there before it was a fucking wild location
>>750745227you should try learning english yourself
Shan't play Jon Snow's game for indonesians
>>750744790sailing and underwater is cool?
>>750745010People are really desperate to cry about Crimson Desert's MUH KOREAN setting when it's not even that crazy. Final Fantasy and Warcraft are the same but way more far fetched and less coherent. For now anyway, this is a Korean game after all.
>>750745156Is that that mining boss that gives you the drill? He sure has a lot of energy for a super slave.
>>750745156>slave employee crying outanyone who buys this shit game is supporting evil corpo torture
>>750744672>>750743437while these are legitimate gripes, i can't help but think you guys are being ridiculously petty and entitled when making these complaints about CD.If this is the only thing you can find to bitch about, it must be an easy GOTY winner (pretending slop like GTA6 doesnt exist).
>"yo turn on rr, game looks legit when you do">*turns on*>*fps collapses to 30*
>another fucking hotfixMY MODS NOOOOOOOOOO
>>750746537its a new dlc bro, just experience the game as is for once, then go back to modding as usual
>>750746537none of the hotfixes should break mods though
I'm trying out this DLC just now, and the first two bosses are literally recycling from the main story. This is some bullshit.
>>750746096theres a cave nearby too with several suits, the name of the convicts and their crime
>>750746441Gotta use framegen unfortunately. Use the newer RR too, I think you had to activate it in the nvidia app.
>>750746441Bro turn on framegenI hate it too
>>750746441RR is even more demanding than raytracing in all games, its unuseable without framegen
>>750746717>>750746726>>750746747doesnt using framegen at 30 fps make it unplayable? you have to get 60 fps first, then use it right? i need a gpu upgrade but that might never happen at this rate
>>750746858not unplayable but you might get more artifacting therethe only reason to use raygen is that the shadows in the game are garbage on all other settings, but if you can stomach them i'd stick to higher native fps
>>750746858That's a matter of preference. 5 series fake frames seems to feel better to me too, coming from the 4. After some testing 4x isn't great in this game though, 3 is the max for me.
>>750747036they fixed the godawful minimap smearing on framegen so I barely notice anything now, I had to go to 4x for DLSS5 though and even then when I'm forced to play duo or any zoomed in cutscene indoors my GPU goes insane
if i get another of the same business to level 5 do i get two of the final item and double the effects?
>>750747194When I went over 3 I noticed this like vsync screen tear looking effect when panning the camera in grassy areas
What were the must-have mods? I know Renodx or something, but there was one more people recommended.
>>750746990>>750747036i was mostly talking about the input latency, but yeah i guess artifacting would be an issue too. i heard that trying to do framegen on 30 fps would make input latency feel like as if it were actually even worse than that, which i wouldn't be able to deal with
>>750747297kys coomtranny
>>750741821Dare I ask
>>750747297renodx is the first one to fix the washed out coloursfor me remove letterbox is a must-have, the game is really obnoxious in its use of letterboxing during literally every dialogue scene>>750747324I've not noticed any input latency on frame gen, but my native FPS has always been above 30
>>750747297It's easy to jump in modding now since 90% of the mods are broken and the ones that work are getting updated. Just go through the latest ones, the cutoff date is like the 29th of October, anything older is dead.Nothing is really essential except renodx and imo the barber shop mod or the custom character mod since it gives you more hairs at the very least.
>if you go out of bounds underwater a kraken comes out and grabs you then drags you into the darknessJesus Christ
>>750747324Oh I dunno, initially I wanted to play with a high fps but RR looks way too good so I've just been playing with my probably unresponsive but beautiful game since day 1 lol.
>>750747386>>750747459Could you point me to the right one, anons? I see there's one installer bundle called Rhi but I don't know if that's the latest/recommended. Is it discord only or is nexus fine?
Any sailing screenshots? How's the DLC?

>>750747553https://www.nexusmods.com/crimsondesert/mods/7you need to install ReShade for Crimson Desert making sure not to select any shaders or addons, then dump the RenosDX file into >steamapps\common\Crimson Desert\bin64if you do it all correctly, pressing Home when running Crimson Desert brings up the ReShade overlay and there should be a RenosDX tab
are 9000 series AMD cards still getting their fps raped by the ocean and weird graphical glitches? The game was running perfectly before the dlc.
>>750747626>making sure not to select any shaders or addons,? you can install those too
>>750747626>>750747617Thanks a lot, anons.>>750747591>jiggle That's going in, too. Thanks, anon.
>>750747701just found the gayest mod ever
Do the devs really not care about NPCs in this game? I legit constantly talk to NPCs talk, then I do interact and then suddenly the very same NPC has a completely different voice actor. Let's not even talk about the fact that their replies don't even make sense to what you say.
>>750747692That's just what the RenosDX installation instructions say to do
>>750747726>>750747701crap gif didnt workhttps://www.nexusmods.com/crimsondesert/mods/3945
>>750747517too bad its not real content, just like the whale that btfos you on the water surface
>>750747741Ah well it's just a reshade addon and it works with other shaders and addons.
>>750744694I was hoping the first DLC would introduce more fantasy elements from BDO that was missing from this game. Need my female only elves in their notRivendell and the little otter niggas. Lots of people swear by ff14's Ishgard is the best gothic mmo city but Odylitta looks so much more fitting.
>>750747726>>750747753

>>750728521this is unironically a good thing
>>750747781BOUNCY BOUNCYOOOH SUCH A GOOD TIME
>>750735614South Korea is a Christian nation, so no.
>>750747781That's vanilla??? damn
>>750747913vanilla in the context of the mod probablythere's a catwalk mod too
>>750728521thank god I can use the weapon I like the look of instead of needing to use the gay demonic flamberge if I want to be strong
>>750747673I used to get a solid 60 on cinematic at 1080p, now after the DLC, cities are dropping me to 40 fps. I don't even have RR or max lighting on. I know the console people were whining about performance, but it looks like the PC version finally got hit too.
>>750740158You can knot.
>>750744872Im excited to play that game....eventually. Wish games would just release in a finished state now.
>>750747781It does look a bit silly but 50% is too harsh. Shame that's the most jiggle the mod has. ~75 would probably be perfect. These games never get the amount of jiggle right.
>>750748018Guess Im passing on the dlc. Haven't heard anyone praise it very much anyway.
>>750747781I'm a big coomer but the left just looks too bouncy that it looks absurd. Other anon is right, the ideal amount is somewhere in between.
>>750747982based
>>750748134>>750748056
>>750747781This is like that 60fps mario sprite animation gif
>>750748213You really don't see it? At the very least the bounce should be more abrupt in accordance with the foot's impact. On the left it's just a continuous wave of jello not bothered by anything.Just looks silly.
>>750748347boy do I have the mod for you https://www.nexusmods.com/crimsondesert/mods/3636
>>750748362>This is the first of the core mods for the future sex-framework I'm working on.
would this game even benefit from sex mods?
>>750727218Surely you can't defeat that thing under water no matter how strong or skilled you are
>>750748581that's a fren
>>750748546the game has a marriage system. not many rpgs bother with that
>>750747982>>750728521Why is that always the argument as if games haven't already implemented mechanics where you can use a weapon skin you found with the attributes of a better item?You realize you can have both, right?
I started yesterday and got stuck in a sandstorm for like four hours so no water yet. Hopefully whatever is after that is better because that shit was fucking terrible
>>750748758its rare for singleplayer games like RPGs to have a transmog system unless its modded in, or is a relationship simulator for women.As such, its a valid argument. Cope.
>>750748758Because you don't need arbitrary stats this way. The game gives you control over your gear which is a good way to go about it. People like you would just read a guide to get the noob crutch 9000 and then ruin the game for yourself anyway, your opinion is useless.
>>750748782a sandstorm? after the on-rails beginning segment, didn't you spawn in a spring-valley with fishermen? or are you referencing the DLC?
>>750739658yeah I'd love it to have retarded 3rd worlders everywhere ruining the experience with their room temperature IQ.
>>750748843it could never be a true mmo anyways due to extreme physics and simulation and ai being impossible to synchronize at scale. but sparse multiplayer for comfy immersion like fallout 76 would be nice. see people occasionally, maybe group up with a stranger for a short time to do something then part ways. i think that style of multiplayer, and not just co-op, would be incredible. then all they have to do is add in spontaneous procedural content. hunt procedurally generated bounties together, make them quick, slick, and dangerous. both on land and in the water. or just cause havoc in the cities. or add more nature bosses like that boar so when grinding you and your new temporary buddy gets a surprise ambush. doing horse races or playing duo with real people could be decently fun too. letting you hind kick btfo players in races is based
I'm so fucking bored I'm considering trying out wow forever just because there are no games to playI'm not paying $30 for ships in crimson desert. I already got 200 hours out of it
>>750748806>>750748835That doesn't explain why this game can't have one and you can already meta abyss gears so it's arbitrary to exclude different base stats. These posts read more like you're projecting others posts onto them.That was my first post in this thread. I have ~300 hours in the game and was genuinely asking why people act like these two concepts are exclusive as if transmog hasn't been a game mechanic for years.Please don't allow your schizophrenia to treat /v/ threads like /vg/ threads and assume everyone is some Barry, Daniel or Gimbogobble
Wait for me, bros... I'm still playing phantom blade zero...
>>750744790>why pirates though? seems like such a random thing for a medieval fantasy settingYou know we had conquistadors in full armor with rifles slung over their shoulders conquer the Americas in the 1500s, right? That's right smack in the middle of the renaissance. 100 years later we'd have colonies, slaves, and pirates getting a foothold in the Caribbean. The Carribean pirates are the ones people think of when you use the word pirate, but piracy was absolutely common in and around Europe for hundreds of years before the discovery of the Americas, they just used to call them vikings or saracens.
>>750749010i accept your concession, next time feel free to go complain that they do not have a transmog feature and should implement it, instead of attacking a user for not wanting his character to look like its from DMC.
>>750749038pic from 700 years ago
>>750749061> instead of attacking a user for not wanting his character to look like its from DMC.didn't I just write>These posts read more like you're projecting>Please don't allow your schizophrenia to treat /v/ threads like /vg/ threads and assume everyone is some Barry, Daniel or Gimbogobble
>>750749061It's kinda funny that this game does have a really good transmog mod, all things considered. The gear does have enough variance to warrant it I suppose, the mod also lets you use those broken and NPC only armors too so it's pretty cool.
>>750748056Jiggle is tied to FPS, I think. When I had my FPS set to 120 Damiane's tits would shoot forward like rockets and double in size when she walked forward. When I capped FPS to 60 her tits didn't do that.
>>750749251>Jiggle is tied to FPSbut why
my issue with the loot:- the hard puzzles gave you abyss cores instead of equipment which felt backwards- I wish speed boosts were just tied to jewelry, it's annoying how the fastest stuff limits you in certain ways- some weapons couldn't get upgraded meaning they sucked late game
>>750749295To reward rich gamers with better graphics of course.

>>750725647I haven't played since late April. Yesterday I booted it up and I have no idea what's happening. There's also some circus/carnival in Hernand I don't remember being a thing. I'm at 90 hours, before the Institute mission, that would be chapter 5 or smth.Might just have to restart from the beginning..
>>750749867Does renodx even have a performance hit? If you disable everything but the night fix it shouldn't right?
>>750750696>90 hours to get to chapter 5kek, I was the same.Yeah just start over, there's a lot more exposition and better paced cutscenes. Doesn't take more than a few hours to get back to that point anyway if you just do the story.
>>750750717It's supposed to be used with ray reconstruction isn't it? Can't do that
>>750750963I don't think that's a requirement.
>>750736504If there is anything that unites /v/ and Reddit, it's shitting on this game with the unrelenting fury of an Indian with food poisoning.
>>750743516wots wrong with her face here tho?
Why would anyone get the DLC? Did you guys not play the base game? It's absolute garbage. What do you like about this slop?
>>750750696took me 30 hours to get to institute on both my run, and thats with some exploration
>>750725647is this supposed to be good

>>750739410>>750739458Valheim was dirty cheap, too. And it always run on potato, which is a killer feature. I struggled to run Enshrouded on a 1600AF + 6600 at the time while playing with an online friend.
>>750751753i mean yeah it plays like indie combat, sure... but crimson deserts combat ain't anything to write home about either

anyone know what this little spiky thinger icon on the minimap in the ocean is?
>>750751816Does it? I remember running it on a pretty beefy computer and got surprised when my fps dropped like a rock when fighting wyverns.
>>750744790>such a random thing for a medieval fantasy settingThat's the whole fucking game. It's random shit that makes no sense slapped together.One moment you're being a normal barbarian and the other you're flying around on magical raven capes and shooting glowing tentacles out of your hand to absorb flying rocks of molten lava. And not a single story NPC ever asks "hey dude, what the actual fuck is going on with you?"The whole game is just pure ass. It's like it wasn't designed by humans.
