Crimson Desert Preview And Gameplay From IGN - Luke Reacts

[@balogunlikwid]

We are witnessing the rise of foreign game studios in china and korea. While American companies are busy building the next AAAA microtransaction cesspool, these foreign companies seem to know what gamers want.

There is a lot more depth than what IGN would have you believe. I’ve seen other footage of him climbing trees, navigating through dense shrubs using his sword, scaling buildings, pole vaulting over walls. I can’t wait to play this game. Haven’t been this hyped for a release in a long while.

Yea I’m so hyped for this. I played black desert and I can see how they took the foundation of that game and turned it into this! Super excited for this. They’re really confident in their game. The 52 minutes of gameplay I saw from IGN reminds me of the Witcher! Sooooo gooood

[@ArthurShotgun]

This game is the combination of every game you have ever played. I hope they don't put microtransactions in this game it has huge potential

[@SaberInferno]

It's made by Pearl Abyss, it'll be filled to the brim with Micros. But the world will be beautiful and the combat will be amazing.

[@fawazgerhard2742]

How the hell this game has huge potential, this game looks like your typical singleplayer game that only relies on fancy graphics and combat effects, knowing that the devs and company reponsible for this game is also responsible for a mmo called Black Desert which is a extremely pay to win horny mmo game, I doubt this game is good.

[@MyNindo2000]

​@@fawazgerhard2742Using your logic, every game is a typical game. Therefore, there is no game with potential. I doubt you're a good judge of a good game.

[@anonymous_dot_com2326]

Its not coming out this year

[@zyk7724]

Bdo combat is arguably the best looking and feeling in the genre, so I believe that PA will 100 percent deliver in that aspect, my fear is the story and writing that has been one of bdo's weaknesses and the engine isn't the best when it comes to optimization but then again this is a single player not an mmo. I hope this game goes well tho, I love seeing the bdo references like the shakatu merchant npc and the world itself resembling bdo a lot .

[@patrickbateman512]

Always thought it looked to good to be true, but here we are let’s hope it delivers

[@mrgauth]

This is my current most anticipated game. Period. I really hope it is even close to meeting expectations. Nothing else coming in next year even interest me to be honest.

The 52min gameplay demo really hit the mark and gave me confidence in the game. I'd love to see a release date.

[@gabrielripw0lf293]

I think they remove the lock on when you fight lots of enemies like it was in the video with the bandits + it feel immersive this way without to lock on every time on an enemy.

[@MakerInMotion]

The smoothest game for fighting multiple enemies I've experienced was Sifu. They really had to nail that because that's like every fight.

[@alandab]

It's Pearl Abyss. Even Black Desert Online doesn't have lock-on....at all.

[@gabrielripw0lf293]

yes they are using their own engine to make this game, super excited for this one.

[@gidkidd-maddcity3104]

@7:00 they do it in ac liberation, also Witcher 3, also Starfield for a crimson fleet mission, judgment does it, watch dogs legion another Ubisoft game does it, outer worlds, yeah a few games do it.

[@RedheadJack]

this double video compression is MURDER!

[@goten3388]

Pearl Abyss knows how to make a good visually pleasing game. That has never been their problem. This games looks really polished already. Wasn't impressive initially when I heard they were making a game like this, but been liking it so far. Hopefully with the success of this DokeV can come sooner.

[@Jazziee2zs]

I’ve only been following this game because the game they presented before this game like 4-5 years ago called Dokev, & that game also looks amazing, but they said they won’t talk much about that game until after Crimson Desert releases 🤷🏽‍♂️ but this game looks amazing as well so can’t wait for both!

[@duongtieuta223]

Cliff is actually the name of the guard captain in BDO. I wonder if this game is his back story xD

Finally a game that use the d pad for quick time assassinations!

[@doubled99218]

as a former bdo player, crimson desert being a single player prequel sounds lit

[@gageschleser6307]

That costume change mechanic was in AC liberation, but it was handled so poorly. You had to go to wardrobes scattered around the map to swap between your assassin, slave, and lady attire but i dont remeember any instance where there was any benefit to using the latter 2 when you were given the choice since they also hampered combat and freerunning options (outside of moments when it was required to use a particular outfit for story reasons).

[@fishnutz5196]

This game just looks like a performance nightmare

[@EnkiduSA17]

27:25 I watch Movies, series, anime I read novels, mangas and books, I don't mind a mediocre stories in games at all because my priority in games is gameplay and mechanics, exploration and, themes that what's makes me enjoy games first and foremost! I'm not saying that I don't enjoy good storytelling in games but I feel it have been blown out of proportion in the last decade or so! If the story is The main focus of the developer that mean they pick a wrong medium to tell.

[@EnkiduSA17]

This is my opining I would die in a hill fighting for

[@Mandingy24]

This game looks like PA wanted to make Black Desert but without the constraints of an MMO and i'm 100% here for it. Been stoked for this since they first revealed it

[@MarcMaximum]

Man this looks so good, like a near perfect medieval fantasy game in my eyes. Not too heavy on the RPG elements either which is great. Staying skeptical tho

[@0nlysp3c]

i said this on fakeuni's channel but ill say it here too, if the game doesnt limit me to just sword and board its a definite purchase for me. would love to see some of bdos melee class weapons and abilities in here too

[@Cloud92390]

Lock on being removed is okay as long as attack tracking is good. More freedom of movement.

[@Holaaparty]

4:20 Well, back in the day I had never thought BDO was gonna be real game because the MMO with actual open world with details(for that day) sounded crazy, all I had ever seen was just MMO with large maps that work like in MHW but nothing is really there to explore.

[@thisisreallychris]

I'm actually very excited about this. The combat looks awesome! Seriously - and the world, damn. Loving it!

[@aashilr]

Honestly no lock on is so immersive & amazing. I had to git gud with no lock on in MHW and DD2 just felt right without lock on. Sometimes you do miss but the immersion is worth it.

[@LeFaisDoDo]

These Japanese studios should really hire some quality writers because they’re world and combat are awesome

[@benmangerere358]

I watched the new 50min footage released and i have mixed thoughts. The world LOOKS nice but I'm worried about it being window dressing and feeling empty at times. Also, the dialogue for some parts is really bad, the lines being given to the voice actors to read feel more like exposition dump and doesn't sound like something a real person would say. This is for almost all the characters and if you're trying to draw Witcher 3 comparisons then the dialogue and how it's being said are crucial. Footsteps were loud asf but that's an easy fix I believe. Combat I'm not worried about too much because of the 4 boss fights we've seen. They just have to make it feel a little more realistic in terms of impact (blade against armor/skin). Facial animations were also questionable but I think that will improve since this is an older build I believe. Truth be told I'm just hoping they really fix that dialogue and presentation of it because that could really kill them!

[@Barbarosse19]

There are also some preformence issues i noticed like they use heavy upscaling... and when the character walks throw that gate to the town in min 10 i think on the edges of the screen you can clearly see the stone pebbles turning from 3d to 2d same thing for the wall stones... The sound issue that you mentioned is not that big of a deal... m more concerned about the sound of the environment... voice overs and lip sync...sounds of the crowds... those are crucial for immersion... And NPCs and in that last boss fight NPCs were kind off to me there was like 2 or 3 of them walking around at the same time in perfect synchronization that's not how crowds should look. And finally, the dialog was not that bad to me... but English is not my native language so m not the best judge on that.

[@MichielHaarlemHarlem]

@Ben, yes I agree about the bad (dialogue) writing and the somewhat shallow-looking world. Writing is important for world building too, so I'm curious whether they can create a believable and interesting fictional universe. Another thing: the mix of very clear inspirations feels a bit weird for me. I wonder what the game will bring to set it apart and define it.

[@kidnamedfinger2840]

I think the dialogue has the same problem as ghost of tsushima, like it's not horrible but it isn't good either. In ghost as well, most of the conversations in the main quest felt natural but I can't say the same for a large majority of the side quests

[@T1ttyLedz]

Just watching this makes me wish they could make a Lord of the rings game. This looks pretty amazing and the constant to dragons dogma 2/witcher/zelda points make me want to splash on a game for once. Other than kcd I dunno the last time I was excited for a game other than zelda

[@joebond545]

Shadow of mordor

[@Desmond-Dark]

This game actually looks good. So many of these games seem to follow a pattern of gorgeous god tier visuals with slow walking third person protagonist and barely anything happening. This is different though.

[@Pr0fila]

I just wonder if you can use different weapons other than sword and board. In earlier Trailers Kliff is seen wielding a big axe but I havent seen anything recent.

[@PrOtaku123]

The Only con i can give this game is the title crimson desert but this game has sold me wow it looks amasing

[@Marco-br2wi]

2nd also the world and attention to detail is amazing. This just feels like a game made by gamers for gamers

[@rafterman5072]

Looks fine. I’m sure it’s going to be popular and sell a lot, but I am burnt out on most open world type games like this, especially ones whose story doesn’t interest me.

[@twoeyedbill1337]

Wish we got a custom protagonist but whatever still looks great to me

[@LeFaisDoDo]

Is there dialog?

[@singmysin]

No lock on is probably because the combat is more fighting gamey than normal action combat games you have to maneuver and hit combos like bdo

[@FixionekPLAY]

Gameplay reminds me a bit of Middle-Earth: Shadow and War games, which i would say definitely isn't a bad thing

[@carmentaehenry3913]

This is true bro this will be game of the year

[@careyanderson6567]

I’ve played Black desert and have multiple characters level 60+. I am HIGHLY skeptical of this story and the open world. Black desert makes absolutely no sense sometimes. Unless they’ve hired some new writers ain’t no way this story will be good. The combat will be on point tho I can 1000% believe that

[@Bro-dot-]

I’ve yet to play a game from Korean devs that wasn’t just odd. It’s certainly not their strong suit or better yet their story style doesn’t fit the western fantasy structure but you’re right about the combat. Hope that alone is worth playing

[@singmysin]

Fucking Shakatu bro seeing him young in crimson desert is something hopefully we get to see his journey in this game to what he becomes in BDO because in bdo you literally don't know his background really.

[@calelsun]

That person saying that it was what the VaLaHa team wanted to make but they had to make assassin's creed.. I can see that but at the same time they coulda taken the individual elements of AC and made something better. Like how you mention the fights. Yeah I get they were limited to the IP and Norse mythology but at the same time bosses coulda been more than the same attack combos X number of times over. Was AC but could have been an amazing one at least. Really hope this isn't like that where you're walking/riding/sailing around a huge world where there isn't anything going on most of the time. I wanna see animals, large numbers and various world events, enemy groups, people who need help like RDR2 etc. Looks amazing so far and it's at the top of my list once Funko fusion is out 😂. Also with AC, wasn't it the same team as Origins which had more systems going for it? Like the enemy AI and how they had schedules. Sleeping, urinating, etc.

[@johnnyjay6959]

[@Vman_95]

Dude, normal people ain't gonna look at how sharp grass looks or corners of tent 20 feet away😅

[@Azdur]

I think this looks amazing, loved how physical the combat gets, open world looks amazing too and giving rdr2 vibes to me, but the quests, diolouges and overall story also gives that asian mmo vibes meaning they feel too generic and boring if this game actually as massive as it looks it can easily be a valhalla situation where it will get very repetitive after 30hr and without a good story or interesting open world exporation to carry it to the end hours. I hope i will proven wrong and it is indeed not will be that.

On the whole "Modern Day" in AC is "boring" I understand it but the whole "modern day" aspect of the AC series is supposed to be the reason/purpose for going through the historical time periods in the first place.

[@MichielHaarlemHarlem]

Conceptually I think both the modern-historical Abstergo plot and the Isu-creators storyline are great. In terms of actual gameplay and writing, they haven't always been the most interesting parts of AC games. But I agree with you, for me they are fundamental to the series and I still enjoy them a lot.
