Regardless of whether you love, hate, or are otherwise indifferent to Crimson Desert, it\u2019s fair to say the game has its problems. Chief among these issues is the game\u2019s control scheme<\/a>, as Crimson Desert features several unintuitive and downright baffling input options. Thankfully, the developers at Pearl Abyss have heard your complaints and have announced that they\u2019re \u201ccurrently preparing a patch\u201d to address them.<\/p>\n

\u201cSince launch, we have been listening closely to your feedback and doing our best to make improvements to the game,\u201d reads Pearl Abyss\u2019s notice<\/a>. \u201cIn particular, we are aware of the discomfort many players have experienced with the controls, and we are currently preparing a patch to address this.\u201d<\/p>\n

There are lots of odd control scheme choices in Crimson Desert, to the point that there are too many to feasibly list. If you want a good example of the issue in a microcosm, though, CohhCarnage\u2019s<\/a> video is probably the first place I\u2019d want Pearl Abyss to start, because there\u2019s something awfully unnatural about hitting both a shoulder button and a trigger simultaneously for a single attack.<\/p>\n

Pearl Abyss also apologised in the notice for not providing a \u201csatisfactory\u201d control scheme for keyboard-and-mouse players. \u201cPlease know we are taking your feedback seriously and working to improve your gameplay experience as quickly as possible.\u201d<\/p>\n

Apparently, that\u2019s because Crimson Desert\u2019s keyboard-and-mouse controls are equally weird. PC Gamer<\/a> notes that binding sprint to the Shift key was an odd decision, as you\u2019re required to mash it to go faster, which will likely \u201cdestroy your pinky over the course of a multi-hundred-hour action RPG\u201d and also definitely trigger Sticky Keys.<\/p>\n

However, while the notice did state that Pearl Abyss is \u201clistening closely\u201d to everyone\u2019s feedback, it noticeably did not feature any mention of the alleged AI art<\/a> that players discovered in Crimson Desert over the past 24 hours. Perhaps Pearl Abyss is hoping that it can be quietly patched out instead of drawing any more attention to it. Guess we\u2019ll have to wait and see if it\u2019s still there once the control scheme update drops in the near future.<\/p>\n
