Same. I didn't buy it when it first came out because I wanted to see if it was worth a shit. The hype after the first few weeks made it sound like it was a winner, and I just kind of...didn't love it.
Played it for 21 hours and never really connected with it. Theoretically it should've been a home run for me, but something just didn't do it and I found myself bored.

That is how I feel, now I'll need to find time to finish the MSQ and get rdy for the DLC.... and then somehow find time to play it for however long it takes, lol.

The bright side is that if you are a variety gaming enjoyer you have probably been feasting. I can't think of the last time I was putting 100+ hours into so many games and still having fun. My backlog is like 25-30 games deep and that is basically a years worth of gaming alone to catch up on.

20% off sale on PS5 right now and expansion content around the corner. My backlog is so big and GTA6 and OoT right around the corner too. I don’t know if I should jump in now or wait for it to inevitably go on sale again down the road. The exploring and freedom of the game intrigues me.

I got it when it first went on sale and have like 30 hours played already. I am still sinking a ton of time into it. It is janky as hell sometimes (like climbing through windows or over mining nodes), but the combat is fun. They somehow nailed large scale comraderie with the Greymanes. I just like running through tons of simple quests.

You certainly do not need the reflexes and coordination of Elden Ring and, while the bosses have unique moves, they are not nearly as polished as ER. Also, you can overcome skill gaps easier in Crimson Desert by using better gear and infinite food. CD has better mass battle vibes - Calphade Castle in particular was epic at night. Turning slash into a clump of 16 soldiers is oddly satisfying (no homo).

Right? I'll 100% play the dlc... when they are done with inevitable patch cycle for it, but I still have to finish off the MSQ. I'm looking forward to it.

The Ocean content has me hyped more than anything. Though that "start gathering resources to build your ship" part brings back nightmares of building my Epheria sailboat in BDO.

There's no way it's anywhere close to even the current BDO version which is like 1/10th of the time it used to take(plus nowadays you can even just buy a ship directly on the market, although iirc not that many get sold cause it's kinda not worth the max price with the stupid crafting time and all the workshop you need to waste on it but it's been a while since I played).
The boat stuff looks nice, it seems there's some form of bartering, I wonder if it'll be like BDO with the multiple tiers, different weights, randomly generated requests and all that, I found bartering quite fun in BDO and spent a few weeks mostly just doing that(and sailing daillies obviously because you HAVE to do them).

I'm sure it will be less than rebuilding that northern town/moving the camp. I enjoyed using the ship, up until they added the Currents system to BDO, then I just stopped, lol. Never got back into it even after they revamped sailing dailies and made all the near coast waters equal ocean waters.

wow there was too much to do initially , now you will need a degree and to play full time to get all out of it.
