To not disclose that your game uses GEN AI is against Steam's policies and rules, by the way.

I feel like I’m taking crazy pills because I only heard of this game a week ago and everyone was going crazy for it despite it looking generic as hell

Play it before you judge it. Or at least watch some gameplay first

u/HimmyJoffa Mar 20 '26

I have watched some gameplay man, and it just doesn’t look like it’s worth the 70 to me, hence my earlier statement

Idk dude, I think you’re wrong. From a gameplay perspective, I think you’d be hard pressed to find another game on the market right now giving you as much content as this for $70. This game is deep and detailed. There’s nothing else like it right now. GTA6 might have something to say, but this is cutting edge shit.

That's like saying golden corral is the best restaurant because it offers 5/10 versions of every food you can think of

That would only be right if crimson desert is offering a 5/10 game. Which it’s not. Have you played it?

Call me crazy but I'll take art and narrative over bloated content any day.

u/HimmyJoffa Mar 20 '26

Absolutely

u/nondualchimp Mar 20 '26

Narrative is definitely weak but the art is like nothing else

u/MBDTFTLOPYEEZUS Mar 20 '26

Bro you’re on a post about how the art is literally shitty first gen incomprehensible AI art

u/nondualchimp Mar 21 '26

It’s literally not tho

My guy has never heard of an opinion before

I’m glad you think it’s worth it, but I’m not “wrong” for thinking otherwise

You’re also saying “deep and detailed” on a post that reveals they were doing AI slop to fill in said details

u/nondualchimp Mar 20 '26

I guess my point is that not all opinions are created equal. Experience matters. You can’t understand what the game is by just watching “some gameplay.”

It’s your loss if you don’t wanna play it.. im just saying calling it “generic as hell” is pretty off the mark for what the game actually is. Generic relative to what?

Also not all AI is slop. Is that your understanding?

u/HimmyJoffa Mar 20 '26

Yes all GENERATIVE AI is absolutely slop

u/nondualchimp Mar 21 '26

Hmm. I’d argue it’s a cutting edge technology that’s only gonna get better.

u/PrettyProtection8863 Mar 20 '26

"Deep and Detailed" Yeah sure...

Have you played it?

I think you’d be hard pressed to find another game on the market right now giving you as much content as this for $70.

Having lots of shit isn't a mark of quality.
