  • Heavy breathing!

    Guys, when you’re not talking, could you please stop breathing into your microphones? It’s quite distracting when listening through headphones.

IGN UK Podcast 841: Crimson Desert is Finally Here
Q: How does the open world feel in practice compared to other big titles?
It feels immersive and alive in its own way, more like a diorama with living atmosphere than a strictly reactive environment, which can be compelling but lacks the tight storytelling focus some players want.
IGN UK Podcast 841: Crimson Desert is Finally Here
Q: What's your overall impression of Crimson Desert so far?
The panel finds it fascinating and ambitious, with a unique combat system and living world, but notes issues with pacing and storytelling that can make it feel disjointed and challenges to get into a long-term rhythm.

Q: Have any of you had a video game goal and did you achieve it?
Not setting big goals lately, focusing more on knowledge buildup within games.
IGN UK Podcast 833: Fairy Tale Arm Pits
