My Honest Thoughts of The First Descendant

[@AztecrossGaming]

*Got lots of folks saying, it just like Warframe. I have played very little of Warframe. Perhaps at some point, we'll give that game a full go too.*

[@eyeONE_Official]

Warframe ain't bad mate, you should definitely give it a shot. The monetization is much more acceptable than this bs.

[@cjcool0078]

As someone with a lot of hours in warframe I would recommend you do a bit of research into the game due to the intro to the game is a wee bit not linear in its approach to new players

But let’s no pretend warframe micros were any better at the start. I will admit the ultimate costs on here are crazy and the color palette issue 100% but the rest feels just like warframe. Especially if they add trading.

The thing the killed Anthem was that the devs literally had no clue how to actually run a looter shooter game. When the game released, people were spamming a certain dungeon for loot, and the devs decided to patch it AND BAN EVERYONE WHO FARMED THAT DUNGEON. It was the most insane thing I ever seen

[@russkiasmr1037]

They banned people for farming in a game that revolved around farming for good loot? Holy shit, I'm glad I stayed away from Anthem.

[@Triforcebro]

True, they didn't. Nobody even stayed around once the game released because everyone found out the trailer was a lie and one that even the dev team didn't even know of till it was shown to the public.

To be fair I think it was more of an EA thing than the Devs. I've hear that management didn't want to hear the words Destiny/Division at all in meetings. I mean, what the hell?!?

[@quivertheprotogen7905]

The thing that killed the game was that in year 6 out of 7 of development, most of the gameplay and story was thrown out the window so that everything could be shifted around the iron man fantasy. You were never meant to fly, you were never meant to be the apex predator in this place. You were supposed to be a bug. With all these weapons, these suits, these powers, you were supposed to be a BUG compared to the threats and environments. It was supposed to be a story of survival against an overwhelmingly hostile world and everything they developed around that was dropped to turn it into an Iron Man looter shooter within a year. The E3 premier from the year before release was legitimately slapped together last second and was not genuine, ready-to-go functions like it was painted to be.

The game needs to redo it's entire monetization system. It's main competitor, Warframe, has the exact same item as the Energy Activactor, the Orokin Reactor/Catalyst. Both increase the mod(ule) capacity of the character or weapon. The Energy Activator is worth 1200 caliber or around $25USD, a goddamn Orokin Catalyst/Reactor is 20 platinum... or like $1.67USD... technically even free if you just trade in the game (which is incredibly easy). As a F2P game, yes, it can monetize however it wants, but if it truly wants to live and not be a cash grab, then it has to change this and the other prevalent issues that Cross mentions.

Well it has lot of common point with warframe: -you need to buy custom colors, but once unlock in warframe you can use it unlimited -card in weapons and descendant is same thing as warframe -the module is similar to arcane enhancement of warframe -custom skin can also be purchase in warframe. -like warframe mastery rank is important to progress in gearing and progressing in the game -in warframe there are catalysor that double the point for mods on warframe and weapons. (Didn't check if the same thing exist on descendant) -crafting is the same as warframe:launch the crafting go play. Warframe is like that and same as warframe, weapons need to be leveled. People that want to rush the game or try to pay to rush will wasted there money because this game seem to went you to play first and not rush craft everything. They want you to be in a loop or playing, upgrading your stuff, do harder stuff, increasing mastery, unlocking new descendant to increase mastery. Same as warframe. You must no neglect to increase affinity on all weapons like warframe. Like aztecross said, it has very sexy female descendant and it will do retention and cash flow because of sexy caracter like lost ark. Some people will throw cash at super sexy skin. It's easy cash grabber. So overall this game is not like destiny. If you give a go at warframe you will see ressemblance with first descendant by a lot !

[@MechaMan2012]

So, I'm a Warframe veteran. Several hundred hours, went to TennoCon even a few times, etc. May not be the most hardcore fan, but it was my main game for a long time. I would say TFD is more on par with Warframe in it's first couple of years than something like Destiny, Anthem, etc. It's definitely apparent this was made by a dev team from another culture, used to a different market that engages with F2P differently, and does not have a whole lot of experience making a game like this for a global audience. Probably doesn't have a humongous budget, hence why the writing and localization is sub par, it doesn't look too different than default UE5 rendering (which still looks good, not a knock on it), and is more focused in certain areas than others. Here's how I would describe the game: let's say Destiny 2 and Warframe are burger joints that you've been going to for years. You like the food, it's had its ups and downs, but it has been relatively okay. Then a new joint opens up, and you try it out. It's run from someone out of town who wanted to take a stab at running their own burger joint, and you decide to try it. The building looks fresh and new, but the inside and dining area looks a little sparse. The menu has some standard fare and some weird stuff you don't feel like trying. Half of the sandwiches are way too expensive at first glance. You order a standard burger combo and take a seat. The bench is hard and uncomfortable, the table a little rickety. Your food is similar to what you've gotten elsewhere, but it very clearly tastes different and has a couple of hints of something that you can appreciate. It's not the best burger, and overall you like the other joints better, but there's something about this place that makes you want to come back from time to time, if anything to shake things up. That's what I consider to be the First Descendant. I think most people that are already deep in other games aren't going to find this better than those in any way. People suffering from burn out might stick with it for a bit, but maybe not make it their "main game." Some people might try to justify the cost, but most are going to find better value elsewhere. Warframe falls into a lot of the same monetization traps, but at least the costs are a lot more digestible than what Nexon is trying to pull. Nexon will print money for a bit, but the whales aren't going to be as plentiful as they should be to keep a F2P afloat with the across the board prices as they are. If Nexon is unwilling for the game to be some niche game with 3k players in a few months, they need to wake up from their greed, and I understand how unlikely that is to happen. I got board of Warframe and stopped a couple years ago because the treadmill was just too much. However, playing TFD, I'm 50/50 on whether I'm liking the gameplay loop enough to like it solely for the gameplay itself, or if I want to just go back to Warframe, catch up on what I've missed, and stick with that.

[@derpy_j]

To put things into perspective : To add more mod capacity to your frame on Warframe, it costs 20 Platinum (the premium currency) OR you can VERY EASILY craft one using a very small amount of resources, though it will set you back 24hours crafting them. HOWEVER, they have a FREE Battle Pass that will also give you FREE currency to also just buy the Reactors/Catalysts, so you can easily stack them up as a new player too. In TFD, to add more mod capacity to your character will set you back $25, or you can spend around 20+ hours (bear in mind it takes almost close to this to craft literally the same item in WF) to find the materials, and then spend a further few hours to craft one. I looked into its Battle Pass, I did not see anything of the sort that would give you any upgrades. Fun game, yes. Does it respect your time? No. It is depending on people to buy. As someone who has played WF for YEARS, I can bear with grindy games if my time is respected. But I can't defend the games monetization. WF's is not perfect, but its not absurd either. Our trading system essentially makes everything BUT cosmetics free. And even then, the cosmetics can be free too because we can trade the PREMIUM currency. I think Nexon stated they will add trading in the future, but I'm skeptical if they allow Caliber to be tradeable. Also, Nexon created MapleStory. The very same company that had a lawsuit against them for LYING about the drop rates in that game. I'm enjoying the game personally, ( though it can be a drag solo ), but I can not justify spending on it.

[@tiltingart9276]

Maplestory was my first MMO back in 2004, and probably my all time favorite game. Nexon developers are truly master minds, they know how to make fun games.

[@archdrake8899]

nah, as someone who plays warframe, who doesn't have perfect monetization, but certainly solid in comparison to most games, especially this one, the pricing in this game is waaaaay too much. The paints in the beta was craftable, now you have to purchase, where warframe, you purchase pallets and you can use unlimited uses on everything from warframe, weapons, and even companions. The most egregious thing for me is how they do Catalyst/reactors in this game, essentially mod capacity booster. In warframe, it's hard to get, but doable; Either through nightwave for 75 battlepass credit (which battle pass in warframe is 100% free, no premium aspect to it at all), or get a blueprint through sortie or gift of lotus, or 20 platinum. Platinum is 75 for 5 bucks, so that's about 1ish dollars. But the kicker is you can earn that money through the game via other players, so you can honestly get a net positive in warframe if you spend little to nothing. Hell even if you spend money. While FD, it takes 1kish to buy out a mod cap booster for a character, which is basically 20 dollars down the drain, which is fucking insane. Like, back to warframe, prime access or other bundles, you get additional platinum to go with it that around the amound you paid for. Protea prime plat iirc gives like 3k plat, which is a decent cost at 140ish bucks, for protea, her access weapons, accessories (syndana, alt helmet and ephemera), glyph. I wouldn't say it's exactly worth the value, but the fact FD 'ultimates' cost between 50 to 100 bucks and give you barely anything in return of that pay out just shows a great level of greed (Character+ slots+ and a skin) that's it, as I remember, no premium currency as you needed that to even get the thing. The 100 one is the worst because it doesn't even give good stuff, boosters I guess, but warframe prime access gives you near 80 day boosters for buying them, while DF iirc give short lived booster compared to the price spent. What annoys me, is the beta was good, it had everything I had hoped the game would be, but now we just have warframe but greedier and worse grind. Makes D2 eververse seem charitable in comparison.

I literally crafted like 6 different paints last night and today. Quit lying lmfaooo. You can grind and craft ANYTHING in the game, the store is there if your lazy. Which it would seem you are and this is NOT the game for you.

[@archdrake8899]

@@hamsterrwrld6767 No, you literally can't craft paints, it costs 25 premium currency. I even did research to double check. Either prove that shit, because I have yet to see a menu for it or anything of the sort. Secondly, you can MOSTLY do everything free with grinding, but it borrowed warframes schtick of having slots, meaning you have limited slots for descendants, weapons, reactors, and external components. Which as far as I've seen CANNOT be acquired free, and must be bought with currency. Not even the battle pass give any. The only thing I've seen that gives any slots is the mastery ranks and it gives a few for some not descendants. So it's not a 'pay if your lazy', that's definitely a required if you want to both get more descendants AND acquire more mastery.

[@ROFLWAFFLELAWL4]

My only real issue with pricing is that you can't ever buy just the amount you need. They never let you buy exactly 5000 or whatever you need. They force you to buy a pack that gives you currency thats either always a little too short than what you want or you're left with extra that then makes you feel like it's a waste if you let it sit in your account. Besides that the grind part is fine, that's the entire Warframe grind. Grind hours for mats then wait I think 12 hours for each part to finish then you use those parts to finally make the frame which takes 3 days. Or expedite the time by paying platinum (premium currency) or buying the frame outright. The difference being that in Warframe you can also trade plat with other players allowing you to earn it in-game by trading and never spend a dime.

I suppose it all depends where you come from, for me, having played Warframe extensively (although not recently) I can see how similar it is, even the price of the ultimate descendant is not so crazy, I think I use to pay around 69.99 for a new prime, or maybe even more, I can't remember, in fact, I just checked and the current price for a fully kitted prime (equivalent of the ultimate) with a few cosmetics is 129 euro. So not too far off. Even the core mechanics, upgrades and grind is the same, if you think this story mission was dull man I remember doing Warframe's story mission years ago, made no sense, had no ending, and was pretty much the same thing, do a bunch of missions and move to the next planet, only worse and no "open world" The modding, upgrading your character, mastery ranks, perks, etc are pretty much an exact copy of warframe. It will get easier with farming, specially as you get to hard mode but it is still a grind. But yeah, I agree with you, still, game has potential so we will see.

Not just that tbh, it's more the value proposition things like forma and reactors are ridiculously expensive in TFD, TFD skins are on average .5-2x more expensive then deluxe skins (with less items as well) and don't get me started on the net loss that's Prime Access vs Ult Access The 60 Prime vs Ult bundle is: Prime Access (in TDF terminology) 1 Ult character (2x Mod slot Preinstalled) 2 Ultimate Weapons (2x mod slot pre installed) just short of 3000 premium currency vs TFD's Ultimate Access for 60$ which nets you 1 ultimate Character A skin It's a fucking joke how overpriced even the basic TFD bundle is. "Skipping the grind" bullshit and people know it. When the competition has easier, faster, and more relaxed grind, and TFD is offering a blatantly WORSE deal, that defense doesn't hold up. The basic 60$ bundle needs to have more value thrown into it. Stuff that's worth it. At least 1 ULT weapon and something else. The 100$ bundle should include more stuff as well as the new version of the 60$ bundle. Compared to WF's value proposition, ULT descendants are a blatant loss leader. trading won't change that. Sure we might earn free currency, but who knows if they'll add a distinction between free and bought premium (which already exists as a classification). What if they add a trade tax to vapor ware a % of your premium currency like Star Conflict does? With the current market pricing, the upper echelon of whales and no life grinders will control the basic market prices and set the supply/demand, unless nexon sets a min/max, which also means nexon dictates the player income and could make trading an absolute grind fest. No matter how you paint it, Nexon's greed and desire to triple dip the players wallet, while selling less value, concerns me greatly. Unless they change the entire store, I really don't see them trying to be "fair" to the player, as sad as that makes me. from a marketing perspective (something I dipped into in college) it makes very little sense, unless they're trying to go for a reverse psychology sales "We're sorry here's 25-50% off all our bad prior pricing please buy our shit" strat

Hopefully the devs listen about the colors. Remember D2 had single use shaders on launch. Hopefully they really take feedback into mind. - make colors unlimited use - let me color change default skins - add obtainable skins for F2P players in challenging content (if they haven’t already idk yet) - add a collections tab to reacquire ultimate weapons obtained (yes, like Destiny) and make a craftable item to enhance unique effects instead of grinding for a weapon 4-5 separate times. - add a system that automatically breaks down weapons picked up based on set parameters like the junk function, to cut down on constant inventory management These are some changes that would vastly improve the health of the game

Youre being majorly hyperbolic about the monetization. Took me 8 tries a piece to get 2 of the 4 ultimate bunny parts. Just play the game.

I've gotten tired of hitting the brick wall of progression as a solo player in Destiny. I've played Destiny since the Alpha. I used to love the feeling of progressing in power and level, which you could hit almost max outside of what is needed for Raids. Literally everything but Raids, the solo player could earn power and beat. I could have fun with the game. Now, you can't even do exotic missions without a MANDATORY group and the grind to get high power for activities outside of the Raid that are MATCHMADE, is ridiculous. It isn't fun when I don't feel like I'm getting anywhere unless I no life the game. I've really enjoyed playing The First Descendant. Yes, it is filled with predatory monetization. So is Destiny to an extent. Did everyone forget about the worst transmog ever added to a game? NOTHING has changed about that. A 'skin' in Destiny from Eververse is $15-$20 PER CHARACTER. The ridiculous pricing and confusing purchasing model of the expansions and seasons and dungeon keys.... Destiny is NO angel when it comes to monetization. Aztec has made a video of this more than explaining how bad it is. That said, yes TFD has so much grind if you don't fork up money. The pay to paint each armer piece PER character skin, etc. I agree it is ridiculous. The difference to me right now is the gameplay is fun, I have 14 descendants to unlock and learn to play. 14 descendants to rank up, make builds for, and reset ranks to make them even more powerful. What I'm trying to say is that I FEEL the building of my power and leveling, all as a solo. I feel like I'm going somewhere with the characters as I play them and level them up over and over and improve their builds. It is a grind, but I don't feel like I'm standing in place after hours of grinding, unlike in Destiny. Destiny really needs to rework the gaining of power and such. Especially now that they force a power cap on you to force difficulty in a lot of the game now with TFS release. What is the point of power fantasy if everything is power capped? Destiny just feels like a game built for streamers and content creators now.

If you like this game _at all_ , play Warframe. I jump back and forth from Destiny to Warframe, and it blows my mind how much content Warframe has. The shooting mechanics of Destiny are far better, but Warframe has amazing parkour, melee and ability gameplay. You really feel like you have the freedom to pick your playstyle. Character and weapon builds, fashion and loadouts, all customizable. Just be aware that it is a grind, this game eats up your time, but the gameplay is fast and furious when you have a good squad. I love to solo and stealth the missions myself and this has that as well. It really has a lot going on.

I went back to Warframe and Destiny. TFD has potential for sure, but not enough to hold my interest, not even Ultimate Bunny. I only have a few complaints. The Descendants themselves feel more like normal people who just use guns because their powers are bland and melee is lackluster in favor of shooting (It's not as trash as Starfield's melee, thank goodness though), they really don't sell the power fantasy as much, I guess I'm supposed to appreciate the Descendants as relatively ordinary super soldiers? If so alright then. Also, I can't recall any music at all in TFD am I tripping? Or is the music not there? Or is it extremely generic I literally forgot it's existence? Idk man, half the fun in a video game is the music. You already addressed my concerns about the monetization perfectly, so I myself have nothing else to say. Fair review Cross.

[@mikemaniaciii8205]

To say its heavy in monetization is slightly inaccurate since literally anything you can buy aside from the cosmetics you can earn through grinding, so yeah its heavily monetized if you're lazy and dont want to put in work!

[@Maximum_Watts]

I was pleasantly suprised with this game during the closed testing. I didn't even realize it already came out!

[@PureBrawler]

the monetization of this game gives me the feeling that a developer of mobile games got the idea and budget to make a full console game.

[@knife0party]

That bunny skin is about to pop a labia

[@Skunk_Jump]

I spent over $1000 in warframe. I 100% agree with you about the monetization. Warframe often had deals, and since I did have a job, I just said why not. Now I regret it. Because I lost the account and all the money. Don’t be stupid like me. Thanks. 🙏

[@W4V3RN]

I spent $50 and had to uninstall because if I take the graphics off of low settings, it throttles my PC temps and overloads my power supply completely shutting off my computer. The 8 hours I played were pretty fun but not about to destroy my PC because the game isn't optimized properly. I have never had an issue with any other game doing this and I am well within my power limits for my mid-end hardware. In two days, my PC shut off three times . Unreal engine 5 is basically demanding content creator rigs to play the games and the optimization is supposed to be upscaling which makes issues like these go completely under the radar.

[@CyberCalvary]

Frame rate cap should fix it And NVIDIA DLSS QUALITY

[@W4V3RN]

@@CyberCalvary That's the problem, I had my frames capped to 60 in the game and in NVIDIA control panel. Used DLSS QUALITY with everything medium first and it dies then everything low and it works but I can hear my cpu fan going nuts not to mention it has to load shaders every time the game starts which goes up to 100% usage.

[@lripthejackerl]

The game is fun as hell. And the MTX are totally worth it. Everything in the shop is grindable in the game. There is no PVP so there isn't any "pay to win". Edit: Also this game is more Warframe than Destiny.

[@jaredv5692]

I've really been enjoying the game so far. For a free to play game, it has a lot of content! Especially compared to like a Vanilla Destiny 1. I also find it easier to understand and better graphics than Warframe. I plan on sticking with it for awhile
