@COMPU73E i like how they're actually building it. when you first started posting about "sending guys to build a bridge," i figured it was like those mobile games or whatever, where it's all just menu-based stuff and, after a certain amount of time, the bridge just shows up or something.
@f0rrest yeah, it's like that with all the jobs you can send workers to. like if you send them to guard the mansion house of a noble to earn money for the camp you can go there and they'll be patrolling round the grounds outside the house. or if you send them to a fishing spot they'll be standing by the water with all the other fishers with a fishing rod and line
there's a place you can craft a hot air balloon so I might do that today
some towns have research trees where you can unlock new stuff but I haven't done any of that yetyou construct a small ranch at your base and there's a whole animal raising thing. I have chickens and a goat at the moment. I started with 10 chicks and they grew up and now I have a mix of roosters and hens and they made more chicks
you can catch wild animals and raise them for meat and leather, etcor you can completely ignore all this stuff and just play it like an action game if you want

started building another bridge so I went to check on it, this is 13% completed
99% of players will never see this, but Pearl Abyss added multiple stages of bridge construction just so the 1% of players who bother to go check it out see something cool. game is bonkers
99% of the time the answer to the question "I wonder if I can.. ...in this game?" is "yes of course"
from the latest #CrimsonDesert patch notes
"Added 1 new armor set and helmet for cats."

@COMPU73E Haha, was about to post this. Already live on PS5 over night! Also: storage increased to 1000 from 240 for hoarders like me, yay

@COMPU73E 60 hours, still chapter 5 and I'm like "Wait, you can do this?!" all the time
This game is full of surprises. Thought I'd try something funny just last night - and of course it worked! -

@COMPU73E Am absolutely loving this game. Haven't built any bridges yet as my coin has mainly gone into levelling up the Camp, (done the third one now). So much to see and do it is unreal.

Kliff now has a magic pirate hat that detects treasure chests! (the feather lights up when one is nearby)
very swish. also cat outfit acquired!

there's this character in #CrimsonDesert called Yann. he's one of your comrades and there are several quests given by him, and he really reminds me so much of someone I used to know, and not in a good way
see, Yann is always dreaming of his next bullshit scheme to make it big, but the trouble is Yann is a complete pisshead and he keeps dragging Kliff into all the trouble he starts, then running away and leaving Kliff to clear up the mess. he starts fights when blackout drunk, loses all his money gambling and expects Kliff to win it back for him, buying trade goods and expecting Kliff to drive a wagon half way across the map through hostile territory
just like someone called Matty I used to know, until I realised one day that these are the kind of "friends" you can really do without. hopefully Kliff will come to the same conclusion eventually
I think the writing in this game is excellent, btw. the main story is kinda incoherent, but all the little side stories are really rather good imo

@COMPU73E I hate the Yann quests because you know he is going to dump you into a pain in the butt situation. Got to be one of the most annoying characters in video gaming ever.

@Dorian_H oh I don't hate him! I hope he has some sort of redemption arc where he sobers up and sorts himself out (doubtful) it's kind funny how none of his schemes ever work out but he just keeps on bullshitting his way through life
just like the guy I used to know

just like some micromanaging twat at work, I have to go and check up on every construction project the Greymanes take on in #CrimsonDesert now, gotta make sure my guys aren't slacking off!
after saving the town of Vellua from a pirate attack, which was an epic streetfight through the town during a thunderstorm, culminating in a mad boss fight against the pirate leader (his armor had a fish helmet) we were asked to rebuild the town lighthouse
here it is at various stages of construction. when it was done I celebrated with a spot of fishing

I did a section in #CrimsonDesert last night that was like playing a musou game. a castle siege that culminated in an epic boss fight. charging through a battlefield with hundreds of enemies on screen, explosions from cannon fire all around, buildings collapsing, panicked horses
this game continues to amaze

Musou?!?!?!?
Stop tempting me to buy this game aaaaaaaaaaaaargggggg!!!!!
I just did 3 big orders at Play Asia as my card rolled over to the month where I get my vacation bonus, and might have ordered a few more things on top of that.

They are doing a 2 games from 2026 for $80 which is just insane, so I grabbed the upcoming Cotton Rock With You on Switch 2 and Blue Reflection Quartet on Switch 1.

@outofprintarchive Skill Up's review touched on the musou elements, it's not the whole game but their engine is perfectly capable of throwing around hundred of enemies. the section I did last night was amazing
I strongly recommend: Crimson Desert

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SHyO4W76b6EI'd love to get it but right now I'm not quite in the mindset to get lost in such a massively sprawling game.
I'm mostly playing puzzle games, a bit of racing and some action games like Gundam Breaker and musou games right now and just flipping between them.
Thinking of going back to Toukiden as well, as I adored those games but never finished them as I always have way too much to play. -

@COMPU73E you need to hire some middle-management types to do the checking up, then you need to hire some directors to check on the middle managers, then you need to hire some VPs to check on the directors, then c-suite, then a board of directors, and so on. only then will you be satisfied knowing that actual work is getting done.
