So I Tried Crimson Desert..
Chapters9
The host plans to play Crimson Desert, comments on UI elements like the health bar, and discusses controller versus keyboard input while preparing the game.
Asmongold dives into Crimson Desert on PC, rallies against clunky UI and murky controls, and tests if the game can win him over despite a rocky start.
Summary
Asmongold’s long-awaited Crimson Desert playthrough (#AsmongoldTV) drops viewers into a sprawling, combat-heavy RPG with grand ambitions. He neutrally calibrates settings, greets the keyboard-and-mouse setup, and immediately notes shader compilation and UI quirks that foreshadow a bumpy ride. Across an extended session, he experiments with controls, bindings, and inventory management, often expressing frustration with how unintuitive many interactions feel. The narrative unfolds through a sequence of brutal skirmishes, wandering townsfolk, side quests, and an overarching sense that the game’s world could be fantastic if the mechanics were friendlier. He comments on performance (noting a high-end PC), but repeatedly flags the UI and binding scheme as the core bottlenecks keeping Crimson Desert from fulfilling its potential. Throughout, he juxtaposes genuine world-building and scale with highly opinionated reflections on design decisions, gameplay flow, and patch readiness. By the end, he jokes about patch notes and hints at continuing exploration, indicating a willingness to revisit once core UX issues are addressed. Overall, the stream reads like a real-time beta-test mixed with a candid review, highlighting what shines and what sinks in Crimson Desert’s current state.
Key Takeaways
- Crimson Desert’s world is vast and textured, but the onboarding and early puzzles rely on unclear mechanics that confuse players new to the game.
- Rebinding keys and customizing controls become a central, recurring hurdle, impacting combat fluency and exploration flow.
- The UI design and item-management system feel overly complex, with scattered menus and non-intuitive interaction rules that slow progress.
- Combat feels promising in concept (parry, combos, stamina management), yet execution is hindered by imprecise inputs and inconsistent tool behavior.
- Patch-readiness and developer responsiveness are critical; the player base will judge the game more on polish and accessibility than on ambition alone.
- Performance on a high-end PC is solid, but frame-limiting UI/UX issues overshadow potential gains in immersion.
- There’s potential for Crimson Desert to shine with streamlined UX, consolidated interaction schemes, and clearer feedback cues.

Gentlemen, are you ready to finally play Crimson Desert after like two years? And I know that the the thing I'm going to put it up here in the top because I saw the way the UI is and there's going to be the health bar down at the bottom. Gentlemen, let I speak and let's do it. And a controller. What do you think? I'm a I got my keyboard and mouse. All right, let's do this. Hopefully, it's going to work. There's not any stupid going on. Make the cam smaller. I'm not going to change the camera.
Shut the up. I nipped that in the bud right now. Time for shaders. That's okay. It'll be ready when it's ready. you, controller gang. Uh-uh. No controller. This is not looking good. Okay. Uh oh. Oh, Pearl Abyss. Uh-huh. Yeah. Warning. Compiling shaders. Oh. Oh, this better be a good video game. This better be a good video game. I'mma be so mad. I'mma be so mad if this is not a good video game. I'm going have to play it for 300 hours. That's how mad it's going to make me. Turn up. Why don't you shut the up?
It's five out of 10. Yeah, guys. Is it really? Maybe I should have refunded it already. Lights off. I can't turn the lights off, bro. It's called the sun. I got the sun out. Peing at 1,600 16 160,000. I mean, that's a lot. That's a good ass amount. How was the game so far? Uh, I'd say game play is kind of mediocre so far. combat, you know, leaves a little bit to be desired, but you know, logo looks good. Logo looks great. I hope the keybinds aren't a nightmare. I'll just figure out a way around it.
Same as I do with everything. Seems good to me. Apply. Apply. Okay. All right. And let me see here. Settings. Let me just check everything. Okay. All this is good. Revolution. Okay.

All that seems to be working fine. graphics, everything. Damn, bro. Damn, they got me locked in. Holy big dick in it, huh? Cinema. Yeah, you're right. Okay. And I'm just going to take all take all this dynamic range, loud sounds, games.
Okay, I don't care about that. Input. Uh, I'll change all this whenever it comes out. Camera, I'm going to just turn this down. And I guarantee you I need to turn it down. Okay. And then languages. Okay. All that's good. Accessibility. Okay. All this is good, too. Blur intensity. Uh, I probably turn that down. It seems like it's annoying, but I'll deal with that later on. Okay. I apply attention. Yes. All right, gentlemen. All righty, gentlemen. Oh. Oh, I'm ready. Don't do cinematic if you want over 100 FPS. I I'll lower it whenever I get into the game because I don't know what to expect.

Lost in thought again. Why don't we go inside? Oh, is it like a um like a a flashback? It's not safe out here.
It's got to be a flashback out the river. Wait, he won't fully heal without proper rest. Wait, wait. But I thought he cut my throat open and stabbed me in the stomach like three times. I'm well enough thanks to you. Wait, what? It's time I moved on. Huh? Are you really sure you're well enough? Am I that guy? You can stay as long as you like. Mhm. I'm fine. Really? All right. Can I kill the chicken? I think you should stay a bit longer. Can I kill the chicken? Can I kill I wanted to kill him now.
Well, very well. If you're heading into town, you should stop by the Hernand Tavern. Hernand. News travels fast around here, so if there's any information to be found, you'll find it there. Uh-huh. You got and hired a free sword. I I'll take care of this. I already paid you. We're here for the interest. What interest? I Hey, they got him dragged up. They got him looking like a grand dragon. We're not asking. We're damn the interest out of you. Or make your max in flame. Your choice. What are you looking at? Don't you know. Punch him right.
He just kicked him in the dick. Today will be your last. You've come too far. Northern curs. I'm trying to figure this out. damn. That's a dead ass What's wrong? What's wrong? Come into my domain. I will destroy you. Carry a chair. Whoa. Wait, wait a minute. You want one of these? You want one of these? Uh, wait. Okay. Okay. Never mind. All right. We'll focus. Do it. What the Whoa. Got him. Are you all right? I was trying to throw throw a chair at him. Thank you. It's not the first time those bastards have laid into me.
Things have got so bad. I was ready to pack up and leave. But they got what was coming to them. They sure did. All thanks to you. Where are you headed then? Truth is, I'm also headed to Hernand. Can I Can I tag along? Well, I got to carry this loser. Let me loot. Let me loot these guys. How do I loot him on foot? It won't take long to reach Hernand. How do I loot? Am I not able to do the loot? Wait a minute. Okay, let me just let me just try to play the game the right way.
Let me just try and do that. You imagine that? But if you want to get to town quickly, we should ride there. you could ride with me, but yeah, I recently came across this wild horse. Where is it? That's a deer. You idiot. You stupid. He won't let me ride him, but maybe he'll take a liking to you. Damn. There he is. What's that? Look for get him. Look at him. Got him. Let's go. Okay. Mount the horse. Used to be one of the nicest places. You press H for horse. But with those bandits about, you're always looking over your shoulder.
It's that bad. It's worse. Who's this little little The guard's been stretched in, but it's impossible to keep the peace. Look at the game. Look at the game. It's us ordinary folk who are paying the price. that sucks. H is for docking. Oh, this here is one of my favorite spots. The view from the bridge is absolutely breathtaking. It makes me want to jump off. Be ashamed to just hurry past. Let's take it slow. We deserve a little serenity every now and again. Yeah. So true, brother. What about in the sky? Is there anything in the sky?
Yeah, there are. There's called They're called birds. Those are called birds. So, where am I going now? But I know strength when I see it. I'm that guy. That kind of skill will have people seeking you out, Greymane. True, brother. Need your help, like me. Mhm. But others will just want to see how they measure up to you. They want to square up to me. That's the only way a fighter can test their strength. Funny, isn't it? True. I got to change my keybinds in a bit, but I'm not trying to around with it right now.
Oh, it's a little convoy. I think that's him, right? Can I go any faster? Unskipable cut scene. It's okay. It's over. Ah, we're nearly there. Yes. That horse seems fond of you, Grey Maid. Nice to see you play Red Dead Redemption. Really? 229K on Steam. Wow. Hernand's bigger than you might think. That's an assload of people. So, what are these like the different factions and There's like the blue guys and the those Robin Robin Hood looking guys. Did you just start? I did. I just started the game. Oh I walked into this the first encounter chapter one.
You got to get up, brother. Your clan has been destroyed. You got defeated by the big guy and his army of fats. Oh, wait, wait. Camp. Okay. Uh, let's see here. Relieve your exhaustion. Protect the supply ch once you've had enough rest. Any loot you couldn't pick up during combat? Oh, okay. So, it automatically loots everything in the combat. Okay, that's cool. I already refunded the game. Oh, paste. Um, okay. So, look around Hernand Tavern. A ps on you and your Why don't you shut the up, the name's Bentley. That's a car. Here, let me change a couple of things real quick.
All right. Uh, how do I go into others? No, no, no. How do I How do I do How do I just get to settings? How do I options, maybe? Yeah. Yeah. Okay. All right. Uh, keybinds. Where's keybinds? Uh, maybe it should be in gameplay, right? The Input probably, right? Yeah, could be input shortcuts and input settings. Yeah. Yeah. Okay. All right. Uh, give me one sec. Uh, aim and guard is going to be alt. Give me one second. Uh, select. Yeah. Apply. And then evade is going to be spacebar. And then jump is going to be control binding flash.
Wait, what? Give me a minute. Heavy attack. Oh, I got to rebind this, too. Heavy attacks are always going to be like that. Focus skill, blinding flash. Do I even need to do that? Like I feel like I don't, right? Actually, I probably do. Well, I got to put it on. So, it said it was What was it before? Aim was So, it should be like alt and click, right? Or wait, cancel. Okay.

I'm trying to beat down the doors in the castle. I feel like I feel like it's a bit of a mistake to do that. I don't know really, by the way. I'm probably doing everything wrong, but that's usually the way it is. Okay. So, I can't go in through there. I have to go up the stairs. That's what they're called. They're called stairs. So, wait.
Whoa. A box. A box. Where's the box? Where's the box? This door is always locked. Where's the box? Says there's a treasure chest in this in this area. Where is it? Is it up here? Whoa. Wait.

What's up, Ah, what you doing? I've been waiting for you. Just as virtue paves the path to wisdom. Your deeds have brought us together once more.
You're that beggar. I am a Lucin. This is the Axiom archive. It is a repository of the universe's grand design. Wait, so you can understand the universe's design if you give the guy $1? The blueprint of a single world. Why did you summon me? There are beings who have brought chaos to your world, the consequences of which extend to even you and your comrades. Uh-oh. You have news of them. You will cross paths with those who escaped fate's grasp. But the balance of this world and the abyss has begun to falter. I think that's bad, right?
If the cosmic order frays any further, our world, the abyss, and reality itself will unravel. That seems bad, right? You must restore the balance. Seems really bad before it's too late. I don't know what you mean. Such a grand undertaking. begins with small acts that will have profound effect on the fate of your world. What the I thought I was going to talk to him.

Oh, it it's not in like y'all have to understand nothing is intuitive to me. Like I can't intuitit things.
Every single thing for me is like the first time I've ever seen it. The abyss power supply. Like unless I've already done something, I don't know how to do it. Like I'm not even kidding.

No, I I as I said, I I just can't intuit it puzzles at all. like I have like no no brain unless it's like clearly spelled out for me or I've done something like it before. I just I don't I don't think the way other people think. Like straight up like if you've watched me play any video game, you know that. Like even things that should be obvious or like just impossible for me to figure I I you could I I had 100 hours.
We're never figured that out. warrior brain. It's just like no, I just I don't I don't like thinking. Like I I hate having to like figure things out and like think like never thinking is like working. Oh, wait. This All right. All right. Now, there's a girl. Is this the bird?

Wait, how do I do that? Whoa. Wait, I How do I get Whoa. Whoa. The knight. It says I don't have it. What are y'all talking about? You look like you've got some coin. What are you doing asking me for money? If you hear all the gray mates got white tail, we got to go to Lion Crest Watchtower. Scammed. I know. M I bet that's the watchtowwer. Check check check the envelope and settings. Okay. Uh map inventory a document the letter. No, that's not it. That's the from the girl add-on in settings. Okay. Give me a minute.

Okay, I have it. I have it. I have it. Damn, that guy got up hard. That wasn't so bad at all. I got poison arrows and a key. Y'all said, by the way, there was accessibility for motion sickness, blur intensity. I'm going to take it to zero. I'm going to do one more thing. Oh, wait. But I thought I thought jump with space bar.
Then why does it say control? Like it says jump is spacebar. This is jump. Oh, it is jump. But I didn't want it to be that. That's right. I forgot. You change it. No, I didn't. should be control. Apply aim and guard. Evade should be spacebar and aim should be alt. And then this can be this. And I want to apply. Why? because that's the way I want it to be because because my role a defensive role is always it is always always gentlemen space bar. It's never not spaceb bar. Uh what Put up a fight.
Damn, that got killed. All right. So, give me one second. I got to figure something else out cuz I I I forgot. Okay. All right. All right. All right. So, where's it? Where's it? Okay. Um, heavy attack select. I want to have it on be be like that cuz that's that's my heavy attack button. And then, oh, I should do block, too. This is very important for me. Like my brain doesn't work unless Well, it doesn't work period, but like it really won't work if I don't have this set up. Okay, so where's block? Where's block?
It doesn't say block. what on the top? No, it says sprint, evade. Oh, guard. Oh, never mind. Okay. I don't know. All right. All right. Let's just Let's just go. Let's just go. All right. It's time for him to die. What were you doing with them arrows, I didn't think so. Let's do it. Time to kill everybody now. Now I know how to play. Tired of this. Okay. Go through this.

It's all right. Like I I uh I'm having a hard time picking up the There's a lot of like uh controls that you have to understand. And if you don't understand the control like that the controlling the game is the biggest difficult factor. I've liberated a whole region. Yeah, for me that's what I'm having the hardest time with. Other than that, it's easy. Use a fire arrow to remove the vines. But I thought I clicked. It says remove. But What is it? Q. What the do you want? I'm sorry. Oh no. Sorry about that. Okay.
So, if there's fire here, turn off the fire. Well, does that mean I want to put this in the arrow? Yeah. Yeah, that's the way it works. Okay. Got it. What does this say? Heartman plague helm. That seems really good. But I just stole a painting. Do I just really do that? I'm just going to walk through it. It's probably not going to do anything. I got to run. I got to run. I'm running. I'm up. Spinning boys can't get me. All right, let's loot all this. Okay, give me a minute. And you. Okay. Uh, I got a copper pouch.

But I I can't I don't understand cuz if I hold it down, I can't press E. Wait. Oh, I can click it. Okay. What the is this? Dyslexia. Vision. if you're seeing this, you're fortunate indeed.
Surprised? I'm not actually there. What you're looking at is a memory. more precisely one of the moment I recorded this. This device is called the vision. It captures and stores information gathered from the world around it and then projects that scene back to the viewer. It's like a a camera with the user's mind. A small flaw perhaps, but hardly controller mapping is also up. Controls for the game suck. They're totally unintuitive. Enjoy the video now to the fullest. Okay. Speak with the child here. I I got to think. Oh, we got to go out of here.
what's this? Can I Can I get the money? Coins. book coins. Yo, this. This is I'm literally picking up one penny at a time. Okay, let's go back. I'm good. I'm good. I'm just going to ignore that.

Game hard to figure out. Yeah, there's a lot of um like unnecessary complication with systems like in terms of like using functions and stuff like that, but that's like the only thing that I find to be annoying. Everything else besides that been fine so far. catch peony. You know what wins me with menus? Yeah, I think that's like the only thing I would really say is like bad. Bro, stop to smell the roses. I didn't stop to smell the roses. I stopped to pull that right out from the ground and now it's in my pocket.
That's my rose now. And plenty of menus, guys. Yeah, I think menus can be good and bad. I these menus that functionality is uh unnecessary. There's a certain type of um elegance to simple design that makes it to where Damn. Oh, wait. Where's the rabbit? Wait. Oh my god. I forgot about Mr. Cap. I've been misled. The hell was it? What? Oh. Uh, simo. You and I about Okay. Um, F and click on a target to use nature's grasp, allowing you to move with heavy object. What? But I I don't understand. I press F. Do I have to observe this guy too?
X to enter focus. I'll focus right now. What the am I supposed to do now? I guess it don't work this way. Well, I got to click on it. I have to unravel the secret of the ancient ruins. So, maybe I got to talk to this one. Punch it. Sure. I might as well. Oh, wow. Okay. Use the forest. Oh god. No. Any any hold? Hold up. Oh, you're the one who helped my friend. I have a gift for you. What's this stupid little? I'm sure it'll come in handy. No, I power of nature flows through you.
If Rippy trusts you, then I can entrust this power to you. See you. Okay, let's go. All right. Y'all said there was loot. Where? What y'all talking about their loot for? There's no loot. What are y'all talking about for all dumb as hell? Abyssal Crescent. I got to loot something. Y'all should have told me that. I know. Why didn't it let me fly? Why? Why? I don't understand. I thought I thought I was supposed to fly. What? What the I I know. I don't What are you talking about me? I don't know that You changed the settings.
Wait, what? that'll do it. Yep. I know that horse. Mhm. Oh god, run. I have to talk to the group of guys. Hey. Whoa. Okay. Oh. Oh, these guys right here. I must face a Greymane myself. Wait, who? Who? This guy. Speak with a person looking for Greymanes. All right. You're looking for Greymanes? Oh, what do we have here? Look at this. I think a Greymane's gone and found us. Ah, our lucky day. How much is Mirin's bounty again? Nice helmet. I give you. I want to let him know who it is. Is your life worth so little?
Enough. Imagine this dude shows up. I apologize for my men. They may have given you the wrong impression. I am the Knight, Matias. Damn, look at them. I've long wished to test my skills against a Greymane. Who's that guy? Say you. You're here standing before me. What reason of you to refuse my challenge? None I can think of. So, it's true what they say. Damn. All right, let's go. You walk your chosen path even when staring death in the face. I hope you live up to the legends. Well, don't aim to disappoint. Quite the quick tongue.
Let's get this Is your sword arm quicker? Oh, reputation is deserved. Why it not let me get out? This is just a warm up. I call to combat. This is a duel for the ages. Pump kick. Hold F. this is a dual. hold up. Oh, there's like an energy thing I used to use that spell. I didn't know that. I feel like that that kick is really good. Got him. for actually. I won't hold back any longer. I call you to come back. Show me your all. Oh, now I'm just big on him. Oh, Harry.
What's wrong? What's wrong? Oh, you want another one? How about one more? One more. One more. You want one of these? Oh, man. What's wrong? Get out of my eyes. Come here. Come back. Come back. I'm just like got you. They say Paloon's finest swordsman is a Sword. It was an honor to duel him. A knight of honor. Not bad yourself. I had believed I was quite strong, but the world is vast and there are many who are stronger still. Damn. It was a good match, Greymane. What a champion. I can't loot his sword. Speak with the man.
Oh, here he is. You're as remarkable as I've heard. It appears the clucking of house hens held a kernel of truth. I am Bardon Midler, the marshall of I serve Marquee Circus, lord and steward of this land. It is an honor to witness such swordsmanship. I have to give something. What do you want? I can't. Pardon my presumptuousness. But I have come with an urgent request. We're short-handed. We need the help of someone like you, Greymane. Marshall, I I've been meaning to thank Get to the point. Of late, the peace in this region has been sorely troubled.
Briggins run rampant, and despite our best attempts, we've been unable to thw I believe they have a powerful benefactor pulling the strings. You good? However, we have no solid evidence to support this claim, and we can't afford further investigation. If you were to lend us your aid, Marquee Circus will be more than pleased. Sorry, but my priority is finding my comrades. I'm not sure I'd be much help on my own. The marquee is a generous lord. He will surely aid in reestablishing the Grey Maids until we meet again. So, um, excuse me. All right. So, let's see here.
Where is he? Mr. Horse. Let's do it. Do you recommend the game? I played it for like an hour, man. Damn, look at all that. So far, I I think that the everything about the game is good except for the controls. So, like one thing is that I don't think the game does a good job. Like, whoa, wait. He knows his place. He knows his place now. Wait, y'all just killed him? Damn. Wait, y'all just killed this guy for what? Damn. For being a bandit. Maybe they just kill him for being poor, you know? Like, you don't want poor people in your village messing the whole place up, you know?
You don't want them messing up your your nice village with all their their poor their ugly ass poor face and their shitty clothes. Sometimes you just got to take them outside the village and kill them. You just got to go. Yeah, I got to know their place. I think they're going to be in your village. Uh-uh. You a shame about the control. Controls suck. Controls are the worst thing about the game in my opinion. Wait, what? You've just squandered your last chance. What y'all? What? Why? Try to understand. Why would you want Why would I want to squander my chance?
You arrogant You really think? Honestly, like, bro, you you y'all actually think You really want to with me when I kill you? Die already, you shake, man. Damn. Whoa. Hold on. Y'all trying to shoot that arrows at me, huh? Get the out of here, Oh. Oh. What's wrong? What's wrong? You expecting another one? You want another one? Oh, Mr. Poke Boy. Huh? Oh, get out of here.

Like, my hairline's actually If anything, it's improving. I just don't want people to see something uh it in the process of improving. I'm here to help. I just I I I don't I don't need people to see that. all right. We're good, man. what's this saying? He say want me to stab him. He wants me to stab him already. Damn. All right. Coping.
What do you mean? Well, I need to cope. Why would I like my kind of manual? Horn thief. Horn thief. What's this? Looks like uh looks like a goat. What about this? Strange noises from the cave. Is that built for this game? What do you mean? It's a video game. Every video game is easy. Anybody that has problems playing video games is a They're made for kids. Like I I there are games that I just don't really vibe with. And but am I enjoying this game? Yeah, I'm enjoying the game. It's fun. Uh now there are a lot of things about the game that I find to be tedious and annoying.
Like this is tedious and annoying. But this is the way the game's designed. They made the game this way on purpose. Do you need So I You just have to deal with it. Just deal with it. Like uh I I mean like that's really just that simple. Like that that that's just the way the game is. Yeah. Like you can't get mad about it. Like that's just the way the game. Now the only actual criticism I have is the controls. I think controls are terrible. Terrible. Terrible. Terrible controls. But other than that, how we doing?
How we doing? How do I throw? How do you throw? Q. Is it? Maybe it's tab. Drop. Okay. What if I drop it off the edge? Damn it, man. I mean, you got I got to try everything much more than No, I didn't like Boom, It's me. What's up, you drunk old You stupid ass drunk piece of Like this right here. like walking into this like the control like you shouldn't have to press control to interact. Like this is confusing. I'll get back my cows everyone. I'll get back my some faith. Solomon is sure to bring them back.
You'll see. You think them rotten bandits just going to bring them all back? A bloody fool's what you are, brother. Maybe we should just kill him. He's got a point. You know your cows are as good as dead. I reckon. Yes, she's right. I've asked for her all over town. I've even bought Have you purchased a woman yet? Guard. Neither. Actually, the only one being terrorized, you know. I It's worth a try. Who the is this guy? Is that Shrek? They've got their hands full dealing with those bleed bandits. Bastards always have an excuse. They ain't nothing but nobleman's lap dogs.
that lot. It's been three days. I'm sure they'll come out. Use a controller. No, it's just the It's a It's a philosophy. You can wait all you want, Bremer. They ain't coming. Never. They will. They have to. That's enough. Let's just go. No matter how much we fuss, the cows aren't coming back. What has the world come to, eh? Are you in need of help? Why does my voice sound like I'm in a brass dome? I need all the help in the world. Why Why is it Why is this Why is Why do I talk like that?
Was being blasted to splinters bits here and there. I wonder bandits took every uh I think my mic's broken. Solomon has put trial after trial before Is that your house? It was before it became kindling. Blasted boulder fell from the sky. Oh, that was my fault. And bandits plucked up whatever rock didn't lay flat. The heathen took my precious cows. Every one of them. Oh no. Plundering a home in ruin. Any idea why? Not even the slightest. I'm going to change my gear after this. told them to just take the damn cows. But they took their fists to my face, demanding more and more.
Just look what they did to my face. Hey. Hey, calm down. I'm not asking for much. I'm just trying to get by. Please help me get my cows back. Oh my god. Thank you so much. Slap them around. Why don't you slap him around a little bit? Slap him around a little bit. Let him know what's going on. Now, let me look at my gear. So, inventory. Where's my free loot? I thought I bought the deluxe edition. It says empty. I can't What the Yeah. All right. All right. So, what do I have for loot?
so this says three defense and my current item has um zero defense. Okay, so that's that's pretty bad. And this one has two defense. Let me put this one on then. And then Is that a fire arrow? It's an explosive Oh, now we're gaming. You have to hit a button in a button to interact over game, bro. No. Um, if there's a there's no reason for there to be a separate Oh, wait. I can turn my That didn't work. Yeah. I wonder if I can shoot a bird. Do I have infinite arrows? It doesn't say I have arrows.
Do I? If you're seeing this, you're fortunate 42. Damn. Where does it say that? I'm not actually there. What you're looking at is a memory. More precisely, one of the moment I recorded this. What's he got a mask on for? Is called the vision. gathered from the world around it. And then projects that scene I've seen this back to the Well, how the did that just randomly happen? I don't even know how I did that. Speak with the witness. Is this the witness? If you're slow, you're just a tool for someone sharper. I guess not.
Maybe this guy's the witness. Well, what the the goat is not the witness. Then what the Speak with the witness. But there's nobody there. What the am I supposed to do? Oh, he ran away. Well, We ran away. piece of ran away. Okay, I'm going to teleport away. I'm going to tell I'm out. I'm going to run back. I'm going to go away. I'm going to come He bounced. Never to be seen again. Yeah, I was like, "What the you talking about?" Level achieved. Wait, what? Level two skills. Dash, but I'm not I don't have levels, do I?
I don't think I do. Okay, let me turn around and hopefully I can do it now. Soft locked already. I Where the ho at? The are you doing? The are you doing? It's that way. But what about the cows? Hey. All right. the cows. I don't say a word about them to Bremer. the cows. Better he lost his cows than his life. Those cows are his old life. Show some sympathy. I'm just being honest. Cows ain't worth getting killed over. Yes, they are. What I'm trying to say is, pardon me. You know where the stolen cows are.
What's up, bro? Why would you ask us about that? Are you raging cow Fresh off the farm. Are you Look at my face. Oh, look at my face. Stink. Well, I got that He was asking me. Hi. I saw them. Follow me. I'll lead you to them. I got to get on the horse. I think this guy is going to lead me to a pack of bandits that are going to try to ambush me. I think that's what's going to happen. Like I'm feeling that's what's going to happen. The world sure has been cruel to Bremer.
How so? Well, his cows were stolen. I heard about that and a stone from the sky crushed his own to splinters. Maybe he just story has become the talk of the town. Maybe he should just die. If that Willian boy didn't find Bremer among the rubble I feel like honestly would be on Solomon's steps right now. Just kill the guy, you know. Ask him why that rock was sent his way. I mean he obviously has bad karma despite his hardships. Who could have imagined suffering damage from a boulder falling out of the sky? pro brother.
Well, I suppose he should be grateful just to have survived. Still, I know how wretched this has been for Bremer. Look at that tree. Those dead cars. It's like the tree in Elen Ring. It is, I reckon. I kind of want to go over there. Those damn bandits. What do y'all think? Should we go over there after this? I kind of want to just do it and see what happens. The bandits hideout is just a little further. I saw them take all the bridge. Yeah, let's go. That tree, bro. There's a strange smell getting stronger the closer we get.
Uhoh. What's the smell? Is it KFC? Seems like it's not. Seems like it's not KFC. I don't know what it could be then. Just up ahead. What? These losers fishing. As far as your coin gets you. Good luck. I got to get off the horse. Come into my domain. Oh. Oh yeah, that's right, Where's this loser at? There were two guys. I thought. What are you doing, fat boy? What you doing, fat boy? Oh, what's wrong? I one tapped him. That was nothing. I got to be sneaky. I got to be sneaky. I wonder if you can assassinate.
I'm going to enjoy every bit of this. Can you can by hitting? Oh, got him. Where they at? What's he doing? What are you doing? Spinning around. Anybody else? What are you doing, Tackle him. Oh, hit him. Okay. I I got to tie him up. I I don't know how it works. I it was a fast event and I I couldn't think that fast. take Let me take all the stuff. Right. Carry. Okay. I don't need this. I just throw that over there. Yeah. Get out of here. Okay. Take weapons box. Wait, I got a box full of weapons.
Wait, what the hell am I doing? What the heck? What the am I doing? Reinforce your equipment. Okay. Oh. Oh, I see. It's like a It's like a temporary buff. Okay, I get it. All right. And then cactus Warhammer. Wait a minute. Cactus Warhammer. Use your lantern where it reacts. Oh, maybe it's in here. Okay. So, says I want to use the lantern It says I have to read about the memory of the cows. Hold control. No. What the is this? It's the helmet, bro. But it says to use your lantern. It says use your l How do I use the lantern?
let me maybe I equip the helmet. Wait, it didn't equip. Equip. Whoa. Wait. What the Use. Wait. How is it not? What the am I supposed to do deactivated? It says, "What the hell is this? I can't Oh my god. Okay. vis. No, I already did that. Hold control. No, it doesn't work in the combat zone. No, I don't know what that means. Like, it just did something. Oh man. Use space. No, it doesn't work either. Use F2 and swap helmets. Well, that's good. Use control. No, that didn't work either. I I don't know what the to do.
I actually I I have no idea how to use this game. I have no idea what I'm doing. Uh like I don't know why is it even like Okay, let me just weapon wheel. But it doesn't even make sense. Like so Oh, that looks cool. like so if this is the lantern then I could spacebar and the lantern is on. It says, "Use your lantern where it reacts." Now, what does reacting mean? This looks like it's reacting because there's a blue on it. So, what does that hold it? What? What do you mean hold? I'm holding space.
That doesn't work. Hold control. Jesus Christ. Okay. Um, the lantern reacts and sends signals to your location where the memories fragment. Okay. Play a revealed memory at the location. Okay. So, what do I do now? So, I guess I have to do this, right? Read the memory. It says read the memory on the cow's whereabouts. Oh, I have to I have to make my weapon stronger. Wait, do what about this? Do I Do I have to do over here? Read the memory about the where about the C? Okay, so how do I read a memory?
Investigate the whereabouts of BMER stolen cows. Is this it? I think I got it. But wait, I thought I had it. I don't the missing cow. Okay, here we go. All right. So, now what? Wait. Okay. So, it doesn't What about this? Do I have to click on this, too? It says, "Read the memory on the cow's What does that mean? Read the memory fragment. Does that mean I go to my journal and I find where what what are memory fragments? I think it's like F2, right? Now use your helmet. Okay. All right. So, how do I use the helmet again?
Okay. Armor equipped It went completely mad and then died. How could it just die? Holy Jesus Christ. Is this you? idiots. I told you to use it sparingly. Why even take that damage? Forget it. We need to move. Return to Bremer. All right, let's go. We got to go back. Um, uh, let's see. I'm trying to decide how I want to go that way. Okay, I'll just I'll just ride back. It's not a big deal. Let's go. That looks really good. The controls are clearly by a software developer, not a game designer. The controls, like I I I don't know if I've ever played a game with worse design for controls before.
Like actually I I have um in 1996 uh King's Quest very bad year for video games. very bad year. Oh my god, it's so terrible. Like the game is good, but like these controls and like the there there are a lot of unnecessary functions. Like it it's just like kind of the controls in this game are like playing quap. Like just using like there's no reason for that to even be a function. Well, where are they? You get used to it. All of them. A lot of people won't. They'll just get annoyed and quit. Curse.
I guarantee it. Guarantee it. You'll be all right. It's convoluted. It's Solomon's will. Please take this. Everyone pitched in. Thank you for your kindness. And we'd like to request. Say no more. Are you saying that you'll uh I I'll hunt down the ones responsible. It's time to kill. You You truly are a good person. I don't know what to say. I'm eternally grateful. These bandits aren't the sort you can go easy on. I truly hope you catch them. We got to kill them so no one else will have to suffer. So, speak with the enraged man.
Oh All right. And let me Okay. So, inventory and I have to equip like just like the the menus are just absolutely horrible. Like I I don't understand how anybody could have made this and thought that it was good. I I I don't understand it even for the the slightest amount. Like this is so terrible. Like everything about like the controls and everything is like just it's like there's so many unnecessary interactions that could have just all been if you consolidated every single one of these interactions into an interact button. The game would immediately become better.
It would immediately be better. Let me get the horse. Where's my horse? molving. Yeah. Well, I mean it it's annoying whenever you have go and and another thing that Get out of here, another thing like for example is that like moving the like there's a lot of there's a lot of like very minor things that I think are just kind of design fuckups. Like for example, like you know how in Witcher 3 you just press shift again and Roach starts starts running fast? This doesn't work that way. And so you just have to press shift like an unknown amount of times and then then it starts moving.
But like it's it doesn't it's not intuitive in the way that you would assume that like you know whenever you're riding a horse you hold down shift to continue making your character run faster. It's like Red Dead, maybe. I've never played Red Dead. It's in the dark. Find out what the commotion is about. All been locked off. Did you cut them off it by now? Why would someone? No. Doesn't feel good. Money. Why the hell would I do that? Calm down. Just what? Damn, he's mad. That sound like the Abano, you know. Huh? Well, does it?
Does it? They were to be sold off in a few days. Who the hell will buy them now? At least you didn't lose anything else. The hell I didn't. Those rotten bastards. Took bloody everything. Ah, that explains it. We seen some strange folk lurking around your house, didn't we? Right. Damn it. what? Yeah, I saw it, too. You did all. I drank a lot that day. Uh-huh. Hey, when didn't you say something? What can we do about it? You're bound to get caught sooner or later. Hey. Hey, let's get going. Come have a drink once you can.
Damn. Everybody's just mad. God damn. Couldn't help overhear it. You were robbed. The are you? You're trying to get me worked up again. Calm down. I'm not here to cause Damn. He just had to let him know. By the sun, you're strong. Tell me. You're goddamn right, brother. You heard for yourself, didn't you? Some thieving scum sacked my house. They would have done me in two if I had gone and run off. And were they after something? Some bit of rock. I heard it clear. Heard him say they was ordered to find it. Didn't say by who and you had it.
What I do was some bloody rock. Eat it. He's just spazzing out. Now that I think of it, maybe they meant those stones that have been falling from the sky. The big rocks. I'll try and track the thieves down. wait. Really? Well, get going then. I'll reward you for finding even a single spoon. Okay. All right. Where they at? Where they at? Oo, they're all the way over there. Okay, let's go. All right. Um, let me go. Okay. Horse. Oh, it's dog. Excuse me. Have you got a moment? Wait, what? Yeah. Who the is this?
Wait, what? He just Wait, what? Okay, let's go over this way. He touched me. He did. Is this game comparable to Witcher 3? I mean, I I don't I I I I mean, I don't know. I mean, like maybe a little bit, but like it's not really the same as Witcher 3. Let me use my horse. Where's my horse? Where is he? There he is. if you had to recommend it. Well, let me as I said, I think that the game is like the only the only problem that I have is with the controls. Like other than that, the game is good.
It's just that I really think the controls are horrible. Oh my god, I almost fell down. Look at this glorious pile of load of bollocks. Thought I'd stumbled onto some easy try controller. I don't want to use What a waste of our time. Mate, who the hell is that? Uh-oh. We got to kill everybody. Why don't you come and have a look? You'll be the last thing you see. You're the ones out here making trouble. Oh, that's one dead. How you fam? He died fast. Okay. So, let me Oh, no. I got to use the lantern again.
Okay. Let me Can I open this? How does this work? What is this? Like I Palmar pill. Okay. Mysterious elixir. Oh, that that seems good. Okay. And then it said I have to use Wait a minute. Hornless goat. And then I have to read the memory. Okay. How do I do this again? Okay. Wait, wait. So, so then I have to It went completely I don't even know what I did and then died. How could he just die? What? No. No. No. Hey. Hey. Hands off. Is this you? Bloody hell. Idiots. They're mad as hell.
Sparingly mouth controls is act like BDO. We need to move. Then BDO's controls suck. I don't even understand what you mean. Like like what what what do you mean? So So the BDO's controls are bad, so it's okay for these to be bad. It doesn't even make sense. Okay. So all right now. All right. Uh let's see. So F2 and then I'm going to control and I want to put on the special hat. how do I activate the the read the wrong one? Okay, give me a minute. You did an old memory. I I forgot even how to do a memory.
Like there's just too many of these like weird combination functions. Like there's no knowledge memory fragments. Okay, here we go. Can I can I click on this? How do I Why What does it even mean? Like I inventory, unequip, inspect, press F2, then hold F2 and select the vision to read the memory. So I have to press F2. Well, I don't press F2. I have to hold F2 Wait, no. Play this memory. Why in the world did you bring ghosts? Could be worth some coin. I told you not to get calls. And we didn't. They're worth it.
Listen, we did just what you asked and pay up the coin. Bloody imbecile. You You'll get your money after I get what I want. We did exactly what you told us. You said you wanted some rocks. We brought plenty. Big rocks, small rocks, some real prize winners. We picked up every damn pebble around that bloody house. But not one of them radiates light. I'm starting to think your glowing rocks ain't real. Now wait, the glowing rocks aren't real. What do you mean? UI guy definitely getting fired at Pearl Abyss. Good. The whoever made this is a idiot.
Like it it's basically like the game is good, but like this one function in the game is so problematic that I think it will shade people's perspectives for the game because they won't know how the game works. It's It's terrible. I I don't think that I've ever seen a UI for a video game or like a function system for a video game that's worse than this, which is so insane because so much else in the game is great, but like they just for some reason couldn't figure this out at all. It's insane. All right, I figured it out.
Here, I track the bandits down. I killed them. Huh? You found them? I kill. Where are those thie Dead. Those filthy flappy horses. You won't be seeing them again. And my belongings by the river. Couldn't carry them all. You mutton. You can't even carry some boxes. Huh? What is this anyway? Could fetch a pretty sum. You found this with my stuff. Is it not yours? Oh. Of course it is. Here your reward. Big money for everything. Big money. Off you go. This is worth at least a dozen goats. A dozen goats. that's a lot of goats.
Let's see. The controls are absolute dog Yeah, that's my only that's my only complaint for the game. like the story. Like this is going to sound racist. My expectations for any Korean video game is for the story to be terrible. I don't know what the y'all are doing over in Korea, but it sure as hell ain't right in good stories. Holy But I'm just going to say it. I'm just going to say like every every one of these Wait, what's this blue thing? Wait, wait, wait. It's important. What's the blue thing? I don't want want to buy that.
It's just a rock. Don't want that. Spitting facts. I Somebody got to say it. Somebody got to say it, brother. Get out of here, you duck. I'm Korean and I don't find that racist. Track record speak for itself. I mean, I don't know what y'all do. I I I I don't I don't get it cuz the thing is I I've been watching solo leveling is great. So, like, was that like just an accident? Like, how was that good? But everything else is like, what the hell is going on? is like Lost Ark, Kazan, uh, Throne of Liberty, Stellar BL, Stellar Blade, you know, you know what I mean, right?
And so soloing story is not good compared to this, bro. It's Lord of the Rings. All right. All right. All right. So, we got to go. Okay, talk to the crying child. I've got another idea. Surviving as it is. Shouldn't we walk? Wait for the right time. Right. Let's band together and drive them out. Fine day for it. Thing is, fine day for shutting the up. Isn't that a good thing? Good. Oh, the kid's crying. I'm scared. It feels like my tooth is about to fall out now. It's going to fall out. That's what happens.
You want to with me? Nobody even thinks about it. You with a champion right here. Now, what the do I do? Says wait for the right time. I don't know. Let me go talk to Jesus up Speak with the Lord of all the Who's the Lord? It says not to do that. Are you simple? The hell were you then? What? What? Oh, now now Oh, now I'm the bad guy, right? Oh, now I'm the bad. Right. Let me move away. I'm going come back. It says speak to the crying child, but there's no crying child.
Press escape. Will we by listen to the child's story? Is this him? Is this him? This could be Look at this stupid hat. Someday my friends and I will set off on a grand adventure. That's not it. Okay, maybe now. Now this is going to happen. Now hit escape. Well, he's dead, you idiot. What? How? No, he's not fighting. He keeps saying stupid things. Leave him alone. I heard my dad say Willy's dead. Stop it. Can't you see William's crying? Crying won't get Willie back. Willy's not dead. He will come back. Don't cry. Just get over it, stupid.
Shut up. I'm going to get Woolly back. Right. It was telling you find him. I don't know what that means. Did something bad happen? Yes, my woolly's got sheep now. But I was visiting Mr. Bremer when that rock fell from the sky. And when I got home, what happened? What happened? Did any adults see what happened? Yeah, they said they saw some bad men take Willie and we can't get him back. I'll try to find him. Where's this stupid little kid? This stupid little kid. Shut the up. That's not nuts. Who's this? I saw them entering the cave.
Pardon me. Who are you? Aren't you that fellow that defeated Matias? Yeah, that's quite the feat. He was amazing. Well, what brought such a fine warrior here? Have you…
