Crimson Desert is poised for an impressive launch on March 19, with early pre-order sales estimates reported in the $20 million range. Pearl Abyss has gone all out on revealing hardware requirements for PC, PlayStation 5/5 Pro, Xbox Series X|S, ASUS ROG Xbox Ally/Ally X, and Mac in resolutions from 720p to 4K.

Game could be interesting. Black Desert had some really confusion microtransaction system (at least to me, I may have been drinking). Was typical Asian MMO gameplay though.

Have my eye on this but not expecting much depth, just some flashy graphics and an overly complicated combat system that really boils down to how fast you can mash buttons.

Waiting for it to go on deep sale before I throw any money at it for certain.

That's the #1 reason why I hated Ghost of Tsushima.

Honestly it plays a lot like other games with the uber protagonist... Batman series, all of the assassins creed games, God of war series... and so on.
 
I was pretty close to getting Ghost Tsushima due to all the hype but I always felt like I wouldn't really enjoy it. Sounds like it was probably good I didn't get it.

This type of game appeals to me. I will pick it up when it is under $30 and seen a slew of bug fixes. E.G. I put over 200hrs into a single play through of Assassins Creed Odyssey.
 

Pretty honest review. Looks like the game design lead must've been a nepobaby with no idea what a good game is supposed to be like otherwise they wouldn't have made a game with AAA graphics and good music seem like a frickin' mobile game in terms of playability. But as the reviewer notes, it was supposed to be an MMO so at some point, they decided (or AMD convinced them) that going that route may not get them much press because I'm certainly one of those people who find out a game is MMO and refuse to do anything with it.

I can't believe you refuse to play Oni since the combat is the actual fun thing in it, especially when you are surrounded by enemies :D

It's the first such game I encountered before the gaming world had Devil May Cry or the Batman games.

The own nothing and be happy strategy corpos are leaning hard into, will see to it the vast back catalogue of games like Oni, I have never played, get my time.
