Crimson Desert Dev Defends Complex Controls, Says They’re ‘Like Riding a Bike’

I saw how Pearl Abyss told people why the buttons are hard. You should trust them when they say the game feels easy later. I think the way it works is just like a new skill.

Launch Success

I found out that two million people bought this game on day one. You can see over 239,000 people playing it on Steam right now. I believe these numbers show that people really like the game.

Player Criticism

I hear that players think the controls are a big mess. You might hit your horse by mistake which is funny but sad. I read that some folks think the buttons are the hardest boss.

Developer Response

I read a post from Will Powers where he says you just need a minute. He thinks the controls feels natural after you try hard. I know he wants you to keep playing until it clicks.

Industry Perspective

I saw another game maker say that hard things are good for your brain. You should remember how Demon’s Souls felt strange at the start. I think he is right that we need to learn new things.

Future Outlook

I know the studio is listening to everything you say. The team want to make things better for you very soon. I think you should stay calm and keep practicing the moves. You will find that the game gets easier if you do not quit.
