Pearl Abyss has revealed Crimson Desert launches with three different graphical and performance modes on consoles, with base PS5 and PS5 Pro offering different resolutions and target frame rates.
The Weight of Knowledge quest chain in Crimson Desert is a part of the Hernand Commissions faction quests at the Scholastone Institute in Hernand.
Crimson Desert is not a direct sequel to Black Desert. While there are similarities in style and atmosphere, Crimson Desert tells its own story.
Good score.
I’ll admit this game does get better at like the 20hour mark.
Had to force myself since I bought it but with the way pearl abyss is updating is definitely an 8-8.5 now. Side quest is still a chore. Especially when I have to follow someone and they slow ass hell. Biggest gripe is some quest has me going hella far and then the person move to somewhere even further to complete. Like why lol
Issue # 423 of Edge Magazine has been released, and it features reviews for games including Crimson Desert, Marathon, and more.
what a garbage crimson desert review. seriously go F yourselves . there is no way in hell i can take edge seriously after such a blatant dumb review
Call me a fool, but I like those scores. I can understand why someone would rate CD an 8 or higher, but I also understand why someone would rate it a 5.
Marathon is goated so well deserved.
A 5 😂 it just getting funnier. I'm baffled what the agenda is from some of these outlets
Super Meat Boy 3D a 4 seems ridiculously low.
A 5 for Crimson Desert will probably be another stain on Edge's already very spotty record.
It's madness. In all my years of gaming I've never seen critic reviews and player reviews have such disparity. It's like they're playing a different game
its insane isnt it? i mean what game are these clowns playing? im playing on base ps5 , the game looks , plays , great. so much stuff to do and im constantly thinking about the game even when im at work. ive been gaming since the mid 90s , its been a while since ive had this sense of wonder as i do for CD
I typically don't join the chorus here, but my personal beef is GreedFall only netting a 5. Figured they'd at least give a bit more credit to Spiders rolling the dice by going quasi-turn-based.

PS5:
Performance:
1080p resolution / 60FPS VSync / Raytracing Low
Balanced:
upscaled 4K resolution / 40FPS VSync / Raytracing Low
Quality:
upscaled 4K resolution / 30FPS VSync / Raytracing High
Pro performance looks so good. Shouldn't be far off looking like 4K with 2.0 at 60. Given the scale of this game and people saying it'll be another Cyberpunk situation I'm happy
I will settle with Balanced mode on my PS5. T_T
I know Raytracing is set to low, but the fact that they managed to get Raytracing at all for performance mode on base PS5 is impressive.
Most likely I’ll go Balanced with the Pro but I’ll try out Quality and Performance to see the difference.
