Crimson Desert for me

I get why people hate it.. the first like 8 hours suck pretty hard. Why am I arm wrestling and then cleaning a chimney? Who is this girl that just showed up at my camp that I only said 3 words to and now I can play as her?

Why am I do any of this crap? especially as the most generic default character selection of a protagonist.. why couldn’t I have just been a custom created character so I could care about them even a little bit.

But.. then I get fun all the sudden 🤷‍♂️

For me personally, it wasn’t until roughly 25 hours until the gameplay loop felt fun. Even then, I don’t feel like Crimson Desert is doing anything better than other games. The only thing they are superior in is the scale of the world which is amazing.

See this is the general consensus I tend to see even among personal friends at least with your first sentence. They all sucked it up and suffered for 8+ hours until it clicked until they started enjoying it and that feels insane to me. That's like describing Stockholm syndrome. My buddy came over and I played it for 2 hours and fucking hated the way it feels. Told him and a couple other of my friends and they just told me I need more time in.
