Why Saying That Crimson Desert Has "Nothing Interesting" In Its First Dozen Hours Misses The Point

Crimson Desert is a massive game. And it’s packed according to its size and scope, which could lead to assumptions that it’s a rather empty title in its early hours. But for players who chose to engage with it in the way it's meant to be played, it has created the scope for adventures full of discovery and organic world building that have proven to be quite addictive.  And yet, naysayers argue that its slow pacing points to a world that’s essentially devoid of fun things to do. Is that fair criticism or a lack of engagement with a game that does admittedly demand a ton of patience before it delivers a payoff? That’s what we’re here to discuss, as we take a look at why Crimson Desert might feel empty to some, but becomes chock full of fun to those who learn to love it the way it's meant to be.
