Much of the basic melee system amounts to holding RB and injecting other button presses into the resulting attack string, kinda like an MMORPG's auto-attacks being punctuated by active skills.Our reading

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.

ThreadAm i the only one still quite bummed they never fixed the firearms positions on Kliff's back?
It’s also annoying mid boss fight when Kliff pulls his shield out and goes into cutscene then you have to wait about 3-5 seconds for him to switch back once it’s done.

ThreadIf you could decide for *one thing* to be added with the DLC, what would it be?
All one handed weapon types for Kliff and Oongka are basically the same with just slight animation changes.

DD2 does big enemy combat better but fighting mobs in CD is way more fun.

However, the combat is so spiky and sloppy that it just doesn't feel fun.

ThreadLost my motivation/purpose around 30 hours
I'll get into a good rhythm of exploration, but then I'll enter a major city or boss battle where I just cannot tolerate how bad it feels to play on a mechanical level.

It was a good practice, and also showed me how well the game is meant to adapt to VERY quick gameplay.

Noone says you have to do anything, but I learn and practice the flashy varied combat because I enjoy the flare.

If you take the time to learn the combos and how they chain together the combat is truly unique and complex compared to other open world games.

ThreadKeyboard+Mouse is actually the superior option in this game
nah I just canceled out of it, because the bowshot would kick you back away from your enemy.

ThreadCrimson Desert is an amazing game, but it has to possibly have some of the worst film grain and ghosting I’ve ever seen…
Combat and exploration are this game’s strengths, and the main story only gets in the way.
