​@@Bigdogsonly1I am going to guess you haven't played the game because you would understand what they meant. So let me clue you in. They are referring to purchasing all the characters in the game and spending money on enhancement materials. Which if you do that the only thing you are grinding for are Gold, Kuiper, and Mods to put onto your items which would lead some people who do that to say "The grind is bad". These same people would also go on to complain about the dumbest shit all because they bought all the characters and all the enhancement materials. These people ruin these games imo but I completely get the argument of not having enough time which is fine.

​@@fallenwingedboy4368Because the whole point of the game is to be a grind to become overpowered. So getting rid of that grind by buying the items then basically ruins the replayability of the game because then those same people will say dumb shit like "There was no grind".

@@Hexzik the point of the video is that the issue with TFD is microtransaction being absurdly expensive. The comment above said “Just sound like warframe” which is false because Warframe microtransaction is nowhere near as predatory as in TDF and any player can earn platinum in Warframe by just playing the game. I never argued against the fact that TDF is almost identical to Warframe when you compare: descendants vs frames, modules vs mods, energy activators vs orokin catalyst, crystallization catalyst vs forma, mastery ranks, ect.

[@seoulsforsale]

@@HexzikYes, it is Warframe, but everything in the game is implemented worse. The modding for the game isn’t that great, the movement is worse, there is no trading, everything is overpriced and anti-consumer(you quite literally have to buy INDIVIDUAL colors). I’m having fun with the game, but I’m not going to sit here and lie, saying “it’s exactly like Warframe”

[@2400king]

Never bought a frame in Warframe, I'll continue that trend with the first descendants.

[@georgebrutko6467]

You're not forced to spend money. It's a personal choice. Unlocking everything by grinding isn't an issue if you plan on playing the game for a few years. I'll grind and spend money. Dont mind if i enjoy the game.

[@midlightdrakon9911]

Bro first defendant is awesome

[@InviableTrader]

From someone who played wareframe I can say this game doesn’t force you to grind half as much for new guns and characters. I’m sure if people are patient and don’t like the prices for transaction there should be sales that will allow to to get content at a discount just like warframe does. I spent 20 bucks on a free game and was able to get the battle pass that is a good value and have enough for a new character plus new body and head skin for my Ajax. Not a bad deal at all for free to play

[@chrismchugh3388]

As a warframe vet the grind is nothing! These games are meant to be a marathon not a sprint.

[@charlessantos8677]

Guys like this haven’t actually played the game to realize how easy the grind is to obtain base character versions.

[@Ahigh3lf]

you can get 3 or 4 decendants just buy playing the missions and you can buy another 2/3 for like 20pounds, we spend more money on take out without blinking.

[@raphaelsilva502]

The grind on this game makes "warfarm" looks like kids stuff... Such surreal drop rates

[@ipfreely]

Got 4 additional characters (plus Bunny from missions and Ajax, character I picked to start) unlocked by just playing for free. You can play without paying for any cosmetics. So no complaints from me and thousands that’s playing for free. You like Destinity 2 or Warframe, good for you go play that. Also Micro-transaction is there for people who want it, not necessary to progress in game.

[@marikasnesbitt7869]

It reminds me of anthem. Anthem to me had potential. Hope this one doesn't fail

the Grind is actual pretty reasonable.

[@brandonhernandez71]

Game is a lot of fun. You can grind and get everything. Drop rates are about to get a fix tomorrow

[@Masenken]

Let's be real. Most players have no desire to have EVERY character. They see he few they want and that's all they'll grind for and finding to pick and choose as new ones are released. So those hundreds of hours are reduced to maybe a few hours per ultimate. If you have FOMO, however, seek help

[@joshrodriguez257]

Dude, that's not a problem if you played Warframe. When you earn something after grinding for it, having it in your possession is much sweeter than buying it outright.

[@juliansinghbassi5320]

"Pretty much going head to head with warframe" 😂

[@razgriz9714]

The difference on the grind is that warframe just needs a well built farming team (Trinity EV, Hydroid, Nekron, and a good runner) just start a survival and find a location where to bottleneck ads and just stand there until you get what you want semi afk if you ask me the number of times i blacked out just standing lmao

[@devilsvalentine]

I played this game for like 120 hours now and I already ran out of character slots and have like 90 % of the modules. I am however a person who played 5k hours of warframe and I immediately understood how the game works and you scale your character up.

[@LucidUrchin05]

17 runs of one mission for a 20% chance drop, got the 2% drop 3 times. 8-9min per run

[@nothingelsetodo4229]

I spent billions and billons of dollars only for the crystals so i can redo characters and weapons. The best part...no one can stop me.

[@homelikewater]

Honestly this is one best games I've played In awhile.

[@StompGojiStomp]

I’ve been playing for about 125 hours. I have 9 descendants and about to have my first ultimate. The only money spent was game pass “10 bucks” so yea grind. But focused grind gets you things pretty fast. Better than other games for sure. I should add that I have been through the main story.

[@hyttemaier]

I think you misunderstood the game 😂 the fun is to grind a new weapon or new char, i have 100 something hours, 6 chars grinded, a lot of fun had, and not a dime spend, i might at some point buy something just to support it, but you can 100% get everything for free.

[@dexmeboy7316]

The game knowingly made their cosmetic system confusing causing thousands of players to make purchases for leptic instead of the descendant they were playing as making it thievery. They won’t give these players a refund

[@johnsawyer1981]

You cant justifie the grind in this game. Its beyond crazy. Half the stuff you want, you have to get a item for(which you might not get), then fight a boss and hope it drops the item (which it usually doesn't). Then you have to grind just to get kuiper to lvl up your descendant and weapon. On top of that the weapon and descendant go back to lvl 1 each time you use a module to slot in a sign. So if you want to use six signs, that six resets. Yeah tell me different.

[@barbographer]

Idk what’s wrong with grinding so much. It adds to the sense of accomplishment when you get get what you need and there’s a soft cap on acquisition chances. I don’t understand ppl who hate on this game. I only spent money on Ult Bunny, the battle pass, and a few extra character slots. And that alone was only because I loved this game so much and wanted to support it, over feeling like I absolutely had to make a purchase. Thumbs down and don’t expect me to sub you any time soon.

[@AugmentImpulse]

I feel like this is slightly misleading. The game has some pretty easy characters to unlock that do not take 100’s of hours to get. In fact majority of the characters are not extraordinarily difficult to unlock. The ones that take a ridiculous amount of time are the ultimates which you don’t even need. It’s a great game that’s completely free and I recommend if you’re thinking about playing, just get it and try it out. If you do end up liking it my biggest recommendation is to not rush the story. I took it very slow and did some pre grinding and it saved me tons of time and really helped extend the story’s life while keeping me engaged.

[@SirZoEz]

Warframe prepared me for this game. Just got a free Enzo

[@VeronicaLenee]

lol the grind isn't terrible, I've been able to get most of what I want with a couple hours of dedication to each specific thing. It's a free game with shooty pew pews where you can get everything except some cosmetic crap in game. You're not forced to spend a dime.

[@catsnlean]

🍒 yknow, an easy way to revamp the paint system would be to make paints something to grind for, and with a relatively okay drop chance. like, if i wanted white paint i could go to a specific mission and farm for said paint with idk, like a 10% drop chance. that way getting the paint and customizing your character feels more rewarding. by doing so, you could keep the microtransactions in the game for people too lazy to farm and have some money left in their wallet, while also appealing to f2p players by giving them a way to grind the color they want. thats how monetization within a f2p game SHOULD be. like, "we have pretty grindey alternatives to getting the things you want, but these alternatives are NOT seemingly impossible, and we also have mictrotransactions that support us directly while giving you the things you want in return, grind-free."

[@millardbaldwin7650]

Currently on 40 hours and have 5 characters with 2 more about to be finished whenever I get home. Barring the ultimate variants I got half the characters in less time then it would take me in overwatch 2. I think the main issue is that getting a character seems overwhelming at first and though possible to get them early game, the drop rates are terrible. You have to get further in the game to get good drop rates. So I think a lot of people are looking at the first boss only having a 6% drop rate for a character part and thinking that it’s only chance they have. I admit I was tempted to buy one character, but I just looked up a guide and was able to get them in just a day or two of play.

[@Esmoure]

The grind is not even that bad. Now if you want ultimates the grind is bad but that is on purpose. If people grinded in hard mode they would see the game is really generous. I already have 7 descendants unlocked. It was rewarding when I unlocked things.

[@semilianowaszkowski7325]

As a warframe player since 2014 the grind in the first descendant is not that bad whatsoever

[@munico6055]

This is basically MMO 101, I thought the mixed reviews were from lackluster gameplay or something about the actual game. I could care less about the grind, I’ve learned my lesson with these games but I always end up liking them, at least for a good while

[@whiskeydark8011]

I have no issues with the game. The shop makes up for the money where its free to play. Its only a problem is you are willing to buy. All games are grind and farm. If they weren't I will be able to obtain in one day. Then there will be nothing else to do.

[@JonathanAlexanderM]

The grind isn’t so bad I’m used to having worse grinds on Warframe. What I will say is that with Warframe specifically you can trade and get platinum that way so you really don’t have to pay at all and still get premium stuff. The Warframe grind is wild prime examples being voruna (pre omnia fissure) ,styanax , sevagoth etc were if you want them you it’ll take you weeks on end to get them. Styanax takes 5 weeks to complete im glad I had a coupon and spare platinum and saved that time. Only reason why I got voruna at all is because omnia fissures came out. If it weren’t for those I can guarantee I wouldn’t have voruna as quick as I did. In my opinion with last descendant you could throw in like 40 bucks and have a chill time grinding the rest.

[@kekwSpiler]

some people are complaining bc they have to grind hundreds of hours to get the ultimate characters... it's just not true. im working 9-5 as well and got most the stuff i wanted relatively quickly, wothout getting insane luck

[@Facts5Facts808]

If you worked hard for your money then spend on anything you want. If you want to buy all the upgrades and cool shit then go ahead. You earned it. People who grind obviously have a lot of free time. A lot. My time is valuable so grinding is a waste of my money.

[@timezero8409]

The grind, even though it's a long one for Ultimate Descendants, is one of the best executed one. The loops are not perfect, but it is a targeted grind, meaning I know exactly WHAT to farm and WHERE to farm it and not be a slave to some global RNG bullshit and just hope that it drops and that's why I'm still playing it. I'm on my way to get Ultimate Bunny for free.

[@GamerMon0]

i dont get why ppl giving mixed reviews i didnt play more than 70 hours of warfrane to be fair but from experienced friends i hear the warframe grind is basically the same and you can also pay to progress so whats the problem?

[@jayjohnson6538]

The mixed reviews are from the TOS clauses primarily actually. Ppl misinterpreted the terms of service and thought they needed to provide gov issued ID’s to play bcuz in countries in Asia you must do so. You can still make OP builds and have fun with no micro transactions

[@riffmcnasty8713]

I can hear everyone’s wallet sending out flocks of moths to nearby lamps 😂

[@peachpie1360]

Personally I find the grind easier here due to the actual length of missions, in Warframe every mission is 10 minutes AT LEAST and i'll need to do them 8+ times maybe to get an item or enough items to make one thing I've gotten multiple descendants almost passively from just playing the game or playing a 2 minute mission and getting it in a handful of tries

[@Mzz_401]

1 thing I hate as a warframe player is that they cap our free slots. so we only get 10 character slots and have to spend money to get more.

[@l3iowormlive862]

Saying it takes hundreds of hours for one is a big fat actual lie

[@DrunkDjinn]

Just an update for y’all who may see this. Yes this game is deeply flawed however the dev team is being very communicative about updating issues the game has. Like any looter shooter, the grind is real. Not as long as destiny or warframe but still what you would expect. I have close to 140h on it and have 3 of the 5 ultimate decedents currently available. If your lucky the game is fun, if your not it gets old real fast.

[@unboundshadow8353]

I agree been playing for about a month now, for me don't mind the grind fills my weekend up when not busy ! Gg
