ThreadDid Crimson Desert Ruin any other game for you like it did for me?
CD has been a welcome bit of fresh air in that regard - whilst its combat is significantly inferior to DD - there is just so much content to explore, systems to engage in and cool enemies/bosses to fight that it really feels a lot more rewarding to play.

And here’s some ‘I can’t believe they’re not fromsoft’ bosses that look a helluva lot cooler than they are to actually fight because we don’t know wtf we’re doing.

I won't lie that I'm taken back by how quickly CD has improved but yet the big enemy fights don't compare still to DD and are not nearly as frequent so both games still serve a purpose.

ThreadI hate this boss
More than fair, the game take a new type of role and mantle, where the bosses are actually good and not there to help you aura farm.

Upgrade your health/stamina/spirit, work on your parries, recognize that all the Antumbra's bosses have telegraphed super moves you have to dodge around.

Most of the bosses I’ve encountered will decimate you if you stay still.

Goyen was honestly not that much of a hard boss fight in my opinion.

ThreadBradie Gu boss battle
If I defeated Bradie Gu before reaching chapter 8 did I miss out on the weapon rewards? Or can I re-fight him later to gain those rewards?

ThreadI really like the boss battles
Some might say the bosses are too easy now, but I suspect that's only the case for vets that are used to the mechanics. I prefer it this way, sooo much less BS.

ThreadCrimson Desert is an amazing game, but it has to possibly have some of the worst film grain and ghosting I’ve ever seen…
NPCs, bosses I dont give the same wieght to as the openworld exploration as bosses really dont add anything else than a HP inflated one time fight where you spam food item 2 minutes and then get back to 4 hours of exploration.

ThreadJust lowered the difficulty for the first time against The Reed Devil.
On my first play through of the game and playing on hard difficulty and once you get onto his third phase he just becomes an annoying prick.

Boss fights. Not really comparable difficulty-wise but boss fights nonetheless.

ThreadWhy is this game suddenly SO GOOD??
It's really nothing like elden ring, it's more like a single player MMO, both games are great in their own right but if you're looking for combat and boss battles on the level of elden ring you'll be disappointed
