This is giving me some serious “empty open world” energy
Watching this trailer was… Odd.
Like, this isn’t a game. It’s a mish mash of every popular title of the past 10 years. Warband, For Honor, Assassin’s Creed, Zelda, Just Cause, Monster Hunter, Red Dead Redemption, Dragon’s Dogma.
It’s called Crimson Desert, yet there was no desert. I saw medieval castles, green pastures, even sci-fi intra-dimensional portals; You fight knights, monsters, robots; You meet medieval peasants, Korean princesses, deer-people; There’s even a fishing mini-game.
Is this a game, or an AI generated trailer?
I honestly laughed when they showed the MC jumping from sky islands exactly like Tears of the Kingdom. It’s definitely giving off the energy of a game that over-promises and will end up with an average 6/10 rating.
For what it’s worth, Immortals: Fenyx Rising looked like a shameless Chinese Breath of the Wild ripoff in prerelease trailers and it turned out to be a phenomenal game.
That doesn’t mean this won’t be garbage though.
Giving me serious “What if Michael Bay made Kingdom Come: Deliverance” vibes.
