ThreadUnexpected, but welcome!
It has its shortcomings, of course, but I essentially wanted to recognize something that cannot be quantified and that is subjective, getting lost in a game, feeling part of the world, and not "running" to a point B to deliver 139 skins of stuff, or even lower a cat from a roof or uncorking a chimney.

ThreadCan you make me want to play the game?
I actually feel like if I explore I find something interesting, not sure what I wanna say in terms of things I've found in case spoilers are too much, but I don't actually feel like the sci-fi is too jarring as it's almost magically powered.

ThreadDid Crimson Desert Ruin any other game for you like it did for me?
Even things like getting pick pocketed or people saying shit when you knock over a kid is more immersive than any city interaction I can recall in DD2.

Totally breaks the immersion.

I know this game is still very different from Elden Ring but that is the only game I can compare that gave me the same feeling I had during its release and I immediately immersed myself into its world.

ThreadLack of distinct settlements in Demeniss
I think it works for crimson desert as it also blends a lot of different themes, like fantasy, steam punk, science, theres wizards, witches, scientists, capitalists, monarchy, everyone is rolling around om horses and carriages, yet there's giant robots.
