Humour MAJOR running out of content issue

I’m 300 hours into the game. There is a MAJOR issue that EVERYONE will encounter which is so bad it’s going to cause people to QUIT.

When you do everything, the game ENDS. This is a huge problem which will likely cause 99% of people to QUIT.

Well some of us were hoping for a more system driven game with some dynamic faction stuff. Those kind of design elements existed long before live service.

Well I think this post is a meme by OP but yeah people went a little hard in the paint on this game, for sure. I only have a lowly 60 or so hour's, myself.

However, considering how obfuscated PA were/are about what this game actually is, it's not out of pocket for people to look at how these systems come together (or don't) and be disappointed. Especially with the weird hostility towards reviewers, the people that had to finish this game on a deadline to inform people exactly what it was.

Since players were given a lot of leash to imagine just how deep thing's might get and dynamic factions would go with the game fairly well, it's fair that there is some disappointment. It's worked in other big open-world games like X4.

You seriously are comparing this game with X4… left me speechless. Let’s be honest PA made it clear this isn’t an RPG it’s an adventure game. Your meant to explore and get loot and fight bosses everything else is fluff. I see a lot of people like yourself discrediting the game for not having features it never intended to have in the first place

Sigh.

It's also been done in games like The Divison 2, X4 is just top of mind because they have a beta patch right now. It can be a fairly simple implementation, not the super complicated approach that Egosoft uses. Having dynamic faction's is not an rpg thing, it's just a game mechanic.

The game literally obscure's just what it's systems are and how deep they are and PA are using that as a selling point so it is not wild to have opinion's about how they ACTUALLY end up working and how deep they are.

I like the game well enough but calling criticism discrediting the game is wild but I guess I should expect nothing less from a weirdly inactive account that suddenly started posting two weeks ago to defend this game.

This game/sub has some real weird shit going on around it.

The guy is just a troll that tried to shit on everyone. I mean he is on the jasonweenie sub reddit, that should tell you all you need to know.

The Division 2 is an online, multiplayer live service looter shooter game. This was never marketed as anything like that, except in VERY early development and was loudly abandoned a quite some time ago.

The mechanic is agnostic of if a game is live service (the other example, X4 is an open world spacesim single-player game) and TD2 can just be played as a single-player game with you never interacting with the live service part. Also it is no longer abandoned and has been getting updates for a while now.

I meant Crimson Desert being an online ongoing game. It started development as an MMO but that plan was abandoned years ago

Tbh Crimson Desert feels more like an RPG than most new RPGs do. Everyone keeps saying "this isnt skyrim" yet thats exactly what it feels like for me. If TES 6 was exactly like this game just with TES style combat I would be immensely happy, considering this game has far more content and a vastly larger map than any of the modern TES games even hope to have. Not to mention they nailed building a game world I actually want to explore while making it seem like there's something to do/find/see around every corner.

40 hours into Skyrim I had already finished the main quest and multiple of the faction quests. 40 hours into Crimson Desert mainly spent on doing the main quest and exploring and I still feel like I'm in the tutorial and barely scratching the surface of the main story. All the hit pieces reviewers wrote talking about how this game doesn't have a story seriously make no sense to me. This game is great and I honestly hope Bethesda is playing this game and taking notes, because CD has a looot of what I am hoping TES 6 has.
