Are there any ******* and **** in the game? Kinda looks like slop but apparently the story is good? Apparently no sexual content so that's a bummer

The controls are a travesty, they are terrible, I made a video showing how bad this **** is, it's unbelievable, and the UI sucks too, this needs to be patched ASAP, it's just god ******* awful, and if anyone defends this you are a FANATIC.

Crimson Desert controls and UI suck... they are an ABOMINATION

The only reason any of you are talking about this game at all is because the AAA industry is completely rotted out.
This gives me such a massive boner.

I hope it dies even faster and more completely.

It pleases me to know next to nothing about this game. I want it to stay that way.

Of the game obviously; if you somehow believe that the game has no issues you are in fact a FANATIC and you should go to reddit or gamefags because those are the places where FANATICS thrive in circle jerking each other defending the games, franchises etc they like as if they are perfect.

There's a difference between defending the controls and saying they are perfect. They aren't perfect at all and I could list numerous issues with them but the complaints are still overblown. It didn't take me long to get used to them, there's undoubtedly a lot of jankiness in a lot of respects but to say the controls are a travesty is just a skill issue. There are a lot of buttons and mechanics and that information about this game was known well over a year maybe even two years in advance, including pictures of the control scheme. If you don't research that much before buying a full priced game on launch in todays video game market, that is completely on you

Went ahead and refunded but I'll pick it up again on a discount when it hopefully has some revisions to the controls and UI. Going to play KCD1 now since I had never finished that past the intro, and also Ark Raiders that I bought on the last sale and never played.

There's so much obvious stuff they could do to make the controls less bad. Like to shoot a beam of light from your sword, you have to hold down L1 + R1 together, release L1 while holding R1, aim, and then press L1 again. At most this should be one button press to raise the sword and another to shoot the beam, but there's no reason it couldn't all be distilled to pressing and holding a single button, or a toggle.

Honestly I found the controls and jank in KCD1 to be more bothersome than I'm finding Crimson Desert

I agree with your assessment based on your video.
It's like the worst parts of controller controls and PC controls were merged.
Why try new schemes? We have had decades to figure this **** out and have largely done so.
You may as well not bother replying to my posts if it's to argue anything except concrete facts or your personal opinion. I still probably won't see it.
Reject your retarded-wing political programming and learn to think.
If you can.

He's right though. You should be able to rebind everything.

WAB channel is annoying and even though there should be full rebinding avaialable at launch (hopefully they patch asap), I would lock WASD under many menus so he doesn't find it easy.

pretty sure he means that saracastic, if you skipped through the middle of the video he also shows a scene where evil goblin merchants are which he tries to kill...
but ofc its really easy to find one thing about a person and then just disregard everything else they say. Also saves time if you are lazy so I can respect that, but it gets tiring.

And you can critize him for a lot like that he mostly plays pokemon **** and his rant videos are in the same monotone voice.

Dunno man one glance at his video history tells me he's a disgruntled ex-tendie which immediately tells me to disregard any and all feelings he has about video games by virtue of him not already being moved on from Nintendo decades ago

Also likes to seethe about everything, what games does this ****** actually like besides Donkey Kong and Kirby?

mostly old classics, runescape, pokemon, mario mostly nintendo stuff. I admit he is hard to listen to and I dont watch all his videos because they drain my concentration energy very fast, but if someone really thinks about still spending money on this game his review about the game mechanics and accessibility is really good and why this game is a mess compared to older games. For example at arround 9:15 he explains how you can easiely do quests wrong just because you do them out of order and the game never tells you that. Also that the game is not really designed to be an openworld since there isnt much worthwhile exploration anyway and you have to follow quests to meaningful content. At least in Breath of the Wild you can sometimes find some shrines for progression upgrades. But even Botw had very little useful things to find except a few armors which only really become useful if you did the fairy quests to be able to upgrade gear anyway.

Guess who made an entire video and was right AGAIN? :scratch-pipe:

(This rant is not aimed at the person I'm quoting)

All these apologists, all these mentally ill FANATICS defending this, it's always the same, bunch of ******* that get attached emotionally to ******* THINGS, and think it's their moral obligation to shill defend and even die for their objects of cult, this is exactly why I do videos because I HATE THEM, all you ******* do is KILL everything you shill for, all you do is allow for the degeneration of everything you simp for (even women; women FANATIC = SIMP) the decline of gaming we have seen is all because this ******* ******* can't control themselves and become rabid FANATICS, just to give you an example: DLC? Day one DLC and all that trash? we ought to the ******* BETHESDA ****** FANATICS that one, that couldn't say no to that stupid mother ******* horse armor.

Is that a shill channel created by AI? His video titles/description are so not descriptive and precise... and most of what he says are his opinions but not describing gameplay. :sleepy:

"What he really likes is that you play a good person who helps people..." who buys a game for that reason?
