    Curious about something. Will spoiler it, though its super early on.

    Crimson Desert

    Just saw an odd thing about the Abyss Artifacts. I had assumed these were "get it, use it" type items, but apparently not (or it could just be for some of them). When you get one, it has a requirement that you need to meet in order to use it, like "kill 3 mobs in under 30 seconds" or such. That...

    Crimson Desert

    I agree somewhat. The "come back better prepared" will work til the really late game bosses, I think, but for those late game bosses you're expected to be fully kitted out, so "gitgud" will apply. There is an item which allow instant res during a boss fight that negates having to restart from...

    The 6 from IGN for CD wasn't their "final" review.

    Crimson Desert

    Eh, maybe? For BDO, it would depend on class by class and whether you would need to focus on survival or not. For CD, there seems to be Trash Combat and Boss Combat, very different difficulty scaling going on.

    I've watched several reviews now, they all comment on controls (usually Controller pov), puzzles and mostly small annoying bugs. FightingCowboy rambles on about a lot of stuff here:

    Crimson Desert

    This guy seems to have not played the game at all, not even the media preview (as far as I can tell from his channel), he just extrapolates from what other people have said or alluded too.

    Downloading now. I'll get some fun out of this.

    Don't be one of those "ai slop" morons. I do agree that several of the "results" we saw in these demos were trash, but others were quite good. If I were a game dev, I wouldn't let DLSS5 touch my work if what we saw would be the result, but it appears gamedevs will have total control over how...

    NVidia GeForce RTX 50x0 cards - 70% performance increase, but AI > you

    Saw a headline from a PCGamer article about this that said DLSS 5 clearly applies AI beauty standards... lol.

    NVidia GeForce RTX 50x0 cards - 70% performance increase, but AI > you

    Literally AI Slop! /s That Grace image is really close to what you'd see where someone use some AI image generator to recreate her, very odd. Most of the other stuff shown off does indeed look like changes to actual lighting, which looks amazing.

    Some PC performance takes from Digital Foundry. The difference between no Ray Tracing, and the RT supports is pretty huge.

    They haven't added an option for 3rd Person view, right?

    Here is a video going over every Skill that Kliff can get. Also, you can earn the "abyss point" things by killing stuff, so just grind stuff to get all the skills. I had thought the points where going to be ground items that you'd have to find. Whew.

    The First Descendant

    March Update Dev Stream TLDR: 3/12 Patch Notes: Some nice QoL as usual. Should be a fun patch, I hope the new mission is as well balanced as the previous. https://tfd.nexon.com/en/news/3399360 Skin Contest winning skins coming on 3/26... as pervy as expected, haha.

    Console / PC specs released (expected fps): If the Console specs can deliver... the PS5 Pro will be nice.

    I've only been watching Hell Mode, JJK and Fake weekly, been waiting for the season to end so I can binge the rest of Sentenced, Frieren and Trigun. Hell Mode, as I said before, has been quite fun, definitely better than expected... but I do hope someone ends up calling bs on Allen and having...

    I have no idea, but my guesses: 1 - Yes. 2 - I think you can look at Umbral Monument as a game mode which could see the fights change up so they can refresh the Challenges. Or its just error with their UI.

    I never played Arknights. I had heard of it, and the couple of streams I watched of it was just someone playing a tower defense type game... which I had no interest in playing.

    Fewer people playing atm since we're in a "content drought", so more of those are available.

    Crimson Desert

    For those who buy this, or who are undecided but will probably get it (like me), just go in without expecting it to be the greatest game ever. I'm more excited for this game than I am for GTA6 for sure... but I've never played a GTA game, and GTA6 looks like DEI infested slop. So while that...

    Marathon - Bungie Extraction Shooter

    If the game wasn't an extraction shooter, and if the lego-esque aesthetic wasn't so strong, I'd play it. As I said before, if the game was like Witchfire (everyone show play it, btw), I'd be playing.

    Here is a reddit thread that has the control keybinds for Controller / KB+M. If I can use QWSE instead of WASD, and if I can use 1 2 3 for other stuff, and then swap R for F, I think I'll be good to go.

    The only Dev that I know is Kim Hyung Tae, first as an artist and then as a dev/CEO of Shift Up Studio (Stellar Blade). If I've heard of some western dev, it probably because they are an ass.

    Crimson Desert

    The combat control scheme in BDO is a bit more refined, imo. I'd prefer using a controller in this game, but it looks kinda wonky. I did try BDO. on PS5 and it's setup wasn't that great. There is an image of the KB/M setup for CD posted in its subreddit, and it should be ok as long as everything...

    Crimson Desert

    Difficulty will be fine since you can gear up to smash stuff. The real difficulty will be adjusting to the control scheme and finding a way to fight that you feel comfortable with. I am 99% sure there is enough to find in the the starter area that will allow you smoke every boss.

    Pretty much anything that isn't a disney princess-esque dress style. I dislike all the character styles that @Chysamere posted, with the cat girl being a possible exception. I made a long rant in one of the Survey's about how bad I thought most of the EF characters looked compared to the...

    Really like? In the genre? Or just in EF? In the genre, none really as it is mostly Genshin Impact flowery dress shit. In that vein, I would say I "like" characters like Jean / Eula from Genshin Impact. In EF itself, none really. Passable characters would be Perlica, Chen, Arclight, Snowshine...

    Most characters in EF look like shit. Way over designed.

    Playstation 5

    There best port to PC has been Stellar Blade, the exact opposite of their 1st party games, so in order protect those DEI infested studios, they will no longer port their games to PC (can't have them look worse compared to Stellar Blade).
