I haven’t 100% Crimson Desert<\/a>, I haven’t even attempted it because, if I can be frank, I’m too sleepy to deal with what ever this<\/a>, this<\/a>, or this<\/a> is. But you know who isn’t scared to take on the challenge? Palworld’s<\/a> community manager John “Bucky” Buckley, who recently shared that he completed Crimson Desert’s achievements. <\/p>\n

“I have 100% Crimson Desert,” Bucky says in a social media post<\/a>. “Simply put, Crimson Desert made me feel a sense of wonder and adventure that no other game has. The only thing that comes close for me is Morrowind. A truly breathtaking experience, and one that I enjoyed ever second of. Easily my game of the year.” <\/p>\n

It’s certainly impressive, but on further inspection of Bucky’s screenshot my emotions shifted to a primal sort of terror. Next to the 100% metre which shows he’s finished all 34 achievements you can see the play time, which is currently sat at 189.1 hours\u2014bone chilling. <\/p>\n

You know who else finds this impressive? The Crimson Desert devs<\/a>: “Wow, in under 200 hours? That’s impressive! We’re glad you enjoyed the journey.” I’ve only put hundreds of hours into a few select games, and thousands into the one which shall not be named (Overwatch<\/a>). But that’s over multiple years, Crimson Desert has only been out for just over a month. <\/p>\n

But even after so many hours Bucky reveals that he’s not even close to being done yet: “Ironically, 100%ing Crimson Desert actually means you completed every challenge. I still have like 20 plus hours worth of side missions still available to do. Such a fantastic game. Genuinely made me feel like a little kid again.” <\/p>\n

Like I said before, I’ve not given Crimson Desert a look in yet. But it sounds like an interesting game if all my colleagues are to be believed, alongside the over 5 million sales<\/a> it managed to swipe up just a couple of weeks after launch. Although one thing’s for sure it’ll be a very, very long time until I can boast about 100% Crimson Desert. <\/p>\n
