Crimson Desert is not a direct sequel to Black Desert. While there are similarities in style and atmosphere, Crimson Desert tells its own story.
The Weight of Knowledge quest chain in Crimson Desert is a part of the Hernand Commissions faction quests at the Scholastone Institute in Hernand.
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.

"Through a few decades of gaming there have been many excellent games that still can stand the test of time today even on their original platform and countless others that have been easily forgettable and lost to collecting dust on a shelf or in a box. Only over the last few console generations have gamers been able to see their games improved over the course of patches and touch-ups thanks to the internet and while some games remained buggy, they were still beloved. Similarly, other titles offered such an expansive open world that players could sink countless hours into it and find a striking narrative whenever they chose to dive into it rather than explore a new cave or dungeon.
Over the better part of the last two weeks Crimson Desert has been a game that has seen some lows and some incredible highs throughout our time with the game. To top that off, Pearl Abyss has been so quickly patching issues and even adding content, that entire notes about previous issues were struck away as the experience continued to smooth out and impress at almost every turn. Bearing all the signs that it started as an MMO, the transition to a single-player game may not have been painless, but Crimson Desert has delivered a world that deserves to be explored and lost in for hours on end in one of the most surprising out-of-nowhere titles in the last few years."
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
