Crimson Desert’s ‘TikTok Brain’ Fast-Forward Feature Draws Criticism

As spotted by IGN, streamer Jake Lucky posted a clip showing Crimson Desert’s new “fast forward” option, which lets players run cutscenes at triple speed. The clip prompted a mix of amusement and bafflement online, with many users questioning why someone would want to rush through RPG dialogue.

Comments summed up the reaction: “You’re… playing an RPG, but you’re happy you can skip dialogue?” and “I’d like to play an FPS, but can we have a button that lets me skip the shooting?” Other players defended the feature as useful for repeat content. One creator, SwanyPlaysGames, said fast-forwarding helps after dying to a boss, when reloading a save, or on a second playthrough, and added, “I actually wish they had a skip button and not just fast forward.

Having the option to skip or fast forward isn’t a bad thing.” The piece questions why a straightforward skip option wasn’t included, calling fast-forward an odd middle ground: either people will speed through a first playthrough or they’ll sit through a sped-up repeat.
