Crimson Desert has entered the chat

 

So, I purchased Crimson Desert for PlayStation and I have to say that I'm kind of addicted right now. I know I have bought many games in the past and played them for a few minutes and given up, but the similarities between this game and Red Dead are enough to keep me going. I can't say that I'll be as heavily invested at this point, but there are sure to be some posts about it and some RSS Feeds added to the news sections. For now, I'll be taking a break from other games as I figure out how much Crimson Desert has to offer. I can say that the map is huge and a bit overwhelming. The intro is a joke, and you have to learn a lot of the game from outside sources, but it's new and they appear to be actively patching it so that's a good sign. As for now, I'll keep at it. I'm in chapter 4 now and just starting to explore the rest of the map. I thought I had combat figured out until I ventured out to neighboring regions and found enemies with large shields and was quickly put in my place. It's time to look for a good spear and figure out how to switch quickly.

Gus material list

I find myself frequently looking this up so here's a clip from the Red Dead Wiki about Gus.

Good morning Rhodes!

 

Christmas Music Locations

You can hear various Christmas music and carolers in many places around RDO. Here are a few examples. Just about any bar (including your moonshine shack) will be playing Christmas music as well.

Guitar: Behind tailor in Blackwater alley

Guitar: Old doctor's office in Strawberry

Banjo: Butcher creek porch

Banjo: Porch across from Sheriff in Rhodes

Banjo: Hotel balcony in Strawberry

Banjo: Porch on shack NE of Saint Denis

I'm starting to think it might be random. I'll update this post if I find out for sure.

Acoustic guitar - Alley behind tailor in Blackwater
