The First Descendant - is it Worth Playing?

[@TwoFoxGibbon]

All you had to say was "Crafting timers" and I was immediately never going to play the game. Timers, for me, are infinitely worse than cash shops. It says, "I don't respect the limited time you have on Earth."

[@justinharris6792]

Just leave the game on and do something productive with your time while you wait then

[@vtelannasv4324]

Then you would hate warframe as the forge has crafting timers. anyway EVERYONE Sadly it's not better than the beta..... Bunny is supposed to be hard to get...now everyone is Bunny..lots of bunnies running around...very common...jeez. the GUIDE lady use to be like her voice.... now she just types in the air like a cheaply programmed korean game.. The graphics were better in the beta....they did somthing I guess for universal compatibility.... They just had GREAT advertising. Wonderful advertising. Game feels like its a mobile and guess what? The game is only 30GB....identical to the beta size which brings up the major disappointment: I thought the game was going to be a large MMORPG but they only added a couple of extra regions...meaning that if you playedx the beta you played the whole game. This game is identical to a MMORPG on the Phone mobile in size, it's "unreal graphics.(Any game can be made using that engine...it's just an engine.) the UI and Marketplace items etc was suppose to be a fraction of what is in the beta but turns out to be the same with only a couple things added. I'm massively disappointed. False hope and promises and this game had sooooo muuuch potential. WTF for the delay of launch. They barely added anything to the game. Should of been released in Feb. Whatever... They tell beta players we get cool exclusive items for playing the beta and filling out survey: REWARD: A LOVE EMOTE.... WTF?

You confirmed exactly how I was feeling after about 4hrs of play so I thank you for that. I don't think I'll be putting anymore time into this game.

[@captnclutch5768]

I agree with points about repetitive quests and inventory management, but to be fair warframe has a similar system with time gated crafting you can pay to skip, and the crafting times in warframe are longer. Crafting a new war frame requires you to first craft all the parts at 12 hours a pop, then assemble them for 72 hours. Overall I don't hate the game, not blown away either but I want to play more than my current 5 hours before judging too much.

[@danomaly8943]

I think that is one of the fairest assessments I have seen. I don’t like comparing games at launch to already established games because people seem to forget that all the games they mentioned had issues on launch.

[@captnclutch5768]

@@danomaly8943 that's true as well. Even if the game may seem basic right now, as long as the game play is fun, they can build out content later. It's a live service game. War frame has 10x the content today it did at launch if not far more. This game could feel much less repetitive with far better quest variety if it survives a year or two and they re invest their earnings into development.

If this game had the Warframe F2P model I’d definitely play it, but it doesn’t so I won’t. If anyone’s curious, in Warframe there’s a huge premium currency shop for skins and classes etc as well, but you can unlock “prime” Warframes (classes) easily and then sell those to players for premium currency, yes, their premium currency is tradeable. Then you can buy all the boosters, skins etc you want without ever paying a penny.

Wouldn’t bother at the moment unless you are running your own teams playing with random players as you start getting to higher levels makes the game almost impossible to progress each area is only unlocked by defeating a boss but as you get further in your level is capped at 40 but the bosses levels go up to 95 and even if you get all your gear in shape you have to get lucky to have a group who have also sorted out their gear there is also a timer on the bosses so good luck as you wear down the boss get close to victory only for the timer to run out and game over start again the drop rates are also ridiculous so good luck trying to get certain pieces to improve your character and gear it’s a vicious circle of frustration for single players try it out but don’t spend anything until you at least get to the final boss

I do agree with you on the amount of inventory management you have to do. They should decrease the amount you earn in each mission because it does get excessive and can be tedious compared to other games; however, this is a free game. You either grind or you pay to progress, it's that simple. This is how grind works in these types of games by doing the same things repeatedly.

I played up to level 19 and can agree with most of your points. Definitely doesn't do anything exciting or unique. Why are missions broken up into 5 minute way points??? Way too much meaningless loot, and I stopped listening to any parts of the story after the first hour in. Because this is a free to play game I came into it with medium expectations. But with any free to play game (pc, console, or mobile) I knew it was gonna cost either all of your time or all of your money. I can see this game having a small cult following in the years to come but sadly won't make much of an impact in the looter shooter space. Good thing is all of the complaints can be addressed and improved upon. The real question, are the developers be able/willing to make chances based off feedback?

Not surprising considering its another F2P game.

Its sad that one of my favorite genres in gaming has turned into only F2P cash grabs, and devs are not willing to actually make these types of games premium experience anymore (they see how much money they can milk from idiots). I personally refuse to waste any of my time of these F2P looters and I'm still waiting for that next big AAA looter shooter (or cool indie one) that is just a paid premium game with tons of content (no strings attached). The only thing I see keeping this genre interesting for me is Borderlands 4 but Gearbox and Randy don't seem to have any idea what they are doing anymore so...... (also division 3 in 2050 lol).

[@typhir5911]

As someone who plays both Warframe and Destiny 2, I was curious about The First Descendant. However, Nexon is also well known for making their games very pay-to-win or dropping them entirely if they don't immediately see a return on investment, so I was already pretty skeptical. Maybe when I have some more free time I'll check it out. I'm not one to get hyped over stuff, so I'll just wait and see if things get better. Timers in games like Warframe aren't anything new. The heavier emphasis on inventory management sounds like a pain. This looks more like what I termed "first game syndrome," where all indications point to the fact that they made this game with only a cursory look at other games in the genre. It would NOT be the only game to have done so. So many live service games tried to copy Destiny without understanding that they cannot just constantly update their cosmetic shop, slap some tiny event that can be completed in under five minutes, and call it a day. Content drops need to be very frequent and fairly meaty; this is something that even Bungie frequently struggles with. I'm sure that if Nexon stick with it, the game can get better, but only if they stick with it. At this point, we have nearly a full graveyard of live service games with so very few successes. I hope that this game isn't going to join them, but it sounds like it may. Companies need to learn that live service is not the quick way to earn cash. It's literally tying down your studios to a single project for a very long time as they are essentially making an MMO with constant content updates, without the MMO moniker.

But i found that i naturally unlocked things, and that i didnt have ro pay attention to the systems until i naturally started to pick up on them. I started to naturally understand a lot of the convenience of the main hub, jumping you into the different areas for raida and such. I havent needed to spend money to progress and ive got ajax, bunny and freya at lvl 33-35. Sharen just finished cooking and I've got the first part of Blair, who im actually excited to play. Playing bunny is fun as hell and actually i think teaches you how to play the rest of the game. Not everyone is based on speed, but i think so far everyone benefits from a highly mobile playstyle. I guess destiny and warframe are just too deep now and i feel like i often get carried here and im just starting to feel like I carry sometimes too when im grinding for items. Also the grind isnt that rough. Ive never had to grind much, even when leveling up a new descendant. I just go to the highesr level raid im at and grab my first 10 levels right there. Progress the story a bit, hit another and xue to weapons and such being account global i can honestly just keep going in the story (except that you get the poison descendant in the poison resist area, that was a little hard). All in all I'm expecting to bounce off this game afte ri level blair and sharen to max and beat the game. Ill see what end game looks like and wait cor updates after that. TlDR, the progression seemed fine to me.

[@collinsmith7143]

As someone who's sunk alot of time into warframe. It plays alot better then this "next generation" game. Your actually able to earn premium currency to buy everything in warframe. And getting parts for weapons and warframes. Feels way better when also upgrading them with the perk cards. The only thing warframe suffers from is a slow start up time for new players and the community doesn't really point out how to help new players. Took me too long for people to tell me that progress in warframe is tied to new weapons. Gear and warframe. Leveling them up upgrades your mastery. Gameplay is fresh with new warframe skills and abilities. Every cosmetic in the game is earnable. Making my warframe look like a cool knight character that calls in Laser air strikes and electric shock drones. Haven't spent a single cent on warframe but honestly. I'd be okay with doing it because the devs deserve the money considering slogs and grinds in warframe could be passed completely by selling your premium prime gear you don't want to other players. warframe recently added cross play. Cross progression and cross trading. Was kicked out of my old clan so i started my own and was able to to make a super sweet forest looking base with an underground man cave that I customized myself. Warframe definitely deserves the time spent if your able to have patience getting past the start. But it treats your time well if you care to put in the effort.

It is very early on and there is room for improvement, warframe has evolved over a decade and is probably the best looter shooter you can play, live service looter shooters are what they are, it will have its audience and I've heard nexon have a bad reputation yet if there's no constructive feedback the game can't build on itself, it does have the benefit of being built on a somewhat decent engine so who knows how it could evolve.

I hope the grind to farm the Ultimate parts or Caliber isn't so bad, because I know technically it isn't p2w since you can just farm all of it but there is always a limit when it goes from pay 2 rush to pay 2 win. A decent pay 2 rush game can save you 30 hours of a grind, 100 hours even, for me the max is 500+ hours to reach endgame content. If the game takes over 500 hours minimum to reach endgame content and you are able to lower those hours with microtransactions then I will classify it as Pay 2 win. I still don't know much about how grindy it is to reach endgame content or be OP in this game so that''s why I am saying this. In Warframe, I reached Endgame content at around 250 hours, and for me that is a decent time and you can lower those hours by paying. But if this game takes it to the extreme with microtransactions then it's p2w. Some people have less time or more time so they have different limits from when it goes from pay 2 rush to pay 2 win.

[@stupiddamb4219]

I personally dislike the typical glamorous Asian gacha game-style design of EVERY character in the game, it also doesn't help that there is an insane amount of weirdo cosmetics like school girl outfits, maid outfits and other stuff like that literally on release day; seems like they knew exactly what kind of people usually spend money on these kinds of games and just went all-in day one. The problem with these skins is that for a lot of people including myself it breaks the immersion and the ability to care for the story, the world, and what we as players are fighting for, whenever there is a girl in an oversized dinosaur costume, or a sexy maid outfit running around on the battlefield. One thing is revealing armor, but this is just straight up a lazy cashgrab from the devs (they did not invent anything new or cool to add onto the lore of the characters with their respective skins, instead its the same boring model for thirsty gamers). The mobs are extremely boring and very borrowing design-wise and, honestly, so is the story/lore, except the lore is not borrowing, rather just uninspired af. Example: the first boss you'll fight is literally Urgot from league (its just a coincidence that LOL is extremely popular in Korea where the devs are), also a lot of the enemies you'll fight are very reminiscent of destiny and halo. Can't give an example on the lore being boring, because I legit could not care to listen after seeing the generic red armor overpowered telekinesis bad guy. Its nice to see cutscenes that don't look completely awful in a F2P game, but the animations in game... oh the animations. They're extremely clunky and feel like this was supposed to be a mobile game. The scopes on sniper rifles look terrible - straight up, so does the UI both in menus and in-game as it seems like it was borrowed from COD mobile. You can show me a F2P game that was made in Asia, without telling me it was made in Asia and I will be able to tell just by looking at the 2015 cheap mobile game ass UI. Ironsight (also a game by nexon) somehow had better UI than this shite, and that game's relatively old. At this point it is hard to tell if its the laziness, incompetence or both?? of the developers from asia, but UI design is literally their bane. This is a game that even if it gains popularity will do so not because its a good game, but because theres a severe lack of NEW alternatives in the looter shooter genre. And a starved player who enjoys these sort of games will likely play this and the devs will pray they get him hooked on the monetization of this game, cuz the way it works with these projects is that once any sum of money is in, one ends up in the sunken cost fallacy and just keeps playing even if its no longer enjoyable (same thing happens with time spent as well); and if u say that's not how it works and you personally would never, that you would righteously not spend a penny on this game like it (obviously yeah uhuh) doesn't give you an advantage, congrats you are only a bit smarter than the next guy who actually decided to waste money instead of wasting time on a project like this. I got mixed feelings from the sound design, its mostly fine in the effects department, that is until u listen to the characters speak and especially their catchphrases. They're unbelievably corny and this was actually the last straw for me (again, if u fw that I guess you're not invited to my birthday party, stay inside and there's a new episode of Demon Slayer coming out soon just for u). While the gameplay itself is fine (for maybe a couple of hours) the gameplay loop and the mission types are extremely boring (IMHO), coupled with the beforementioned boring enemy design it becomes a snooze fest very quickly. And that's considering I didn't finish the "story", I could not imagine how repetitive it would get without any other sort of stimulation besides from the same loot just different colors after one is done with the sad excuse for a campaign. As per locations we have empty abandoned city with nothing to do in it and then acidic desert (very cool and new), I think I am also missing one, but at least there's a simulacrum from Warframe where you fight bosses guys!! Anyway, I think if you're somewhat reasonable and know how devs scam players for their time and money and you know at least something about game design and don't need a constant flow of dopamine via different color borders around loot u acquire in a repetitive mission while playing a game, I suggest to simply pass by. 2/10 this game is secretly an advertisement of Warframe.

They could have learned so much from warframe but instead they failed us. I don’t mind paying for these skins,emotes, characters, etc but a fair price and when the game has its stuff together we should not have to pay a dime if a game is going to lag constantly on high end PCs or PS5. Missions and activities need to be more creative and fun. This seems like every mission more or less is shorter than Destiny missions or warframe missions. It seems like kill waves of enemies and then move a few feet to do the same and then your done. Characters and skills are incredibly great but the games world and missions lack so much that this game shouldn’t have launched yet. Sorry not sorry nexon. Give us compensation for this mess and give us better missions, activities, and fixxxxxx your LAG!!!!!! It’s inexcusable after all this testing and betas cmon!!!!

[@Born2Game]

There’s microtransactions then there is this game which takes them to new levels and I’ve heard warframe does the acceleration thing so why would people want that again, these devs could have done this game without that and that would have given them a better start but they’ve added every way possible to make money, if they’re that desperate they shouldn’t have made a free to play game, I understand microtransactions but there are more things to buy in this game than there are things to do

Warframe is a better game from what I saw in betas BUT when you play Warframe a lot and it's the only game you enjoy you occasionally need a break from it. The First Descendent will hopefully be a game I can play when I need time away from Warframe.

Personally I really prefer the 1 character style of having abilities you a pick between like destiny then the hero shooterish 4 abilities per character suit that warframe offers. I already dont play warframe for this reason. I would be open to trying this game even if it was bad if it was more a destiny style prog then a warframe one tbh but this is probably a no for me.

[@KScooter]

That's one of the reasons i don't play warframe. Your forced to level multiple frames and weapons to level up mastery rank just to get more space for mods, frames, and weapons. I'd rather focus on 1 character or class and maximize that class. This game is copy and paste warframe. I definitely agree with you 100% and i won't be playing either. I spent money in warframe thinking it was going to be more fun but it actually made me regret spending at all.

[@TheDarkAztek]

Nice vid, you spoke what many of us are feeling about this game. Started feeling this early on (2hrs in) and was already feeling like a boring loop at that point.

The way your explaining how to get decadents is exactly how you get frames in war frame do missions to get one piece then a different mission for another one craft each of those with materials you need to collect then once that's done 72 real life hours to craft the full frame I don't see the issue

i like the gunplay and the seemless join up with other players. The game is new and we just have to see where the devs take it. Until then i will continue to play it, but it's not good enough where it's at right now to replace the only 3 games i even play, which is D4, Eve Online, and Destiny 2. It's going to take a hell of a lot to get me to put these games down for something else.

[@GamerSingularity]

Can you please describe what is so fun about the "gunplay" in your own words?

[@PlacingRed]

@@GamerSingularity It's just feels fluid enough to have fun with it. I figured it being third person it would feel clunky. It's not overwhelmingly great, but it's not underwhelming either. I would say in a pure 3rd person run and gun situation. It's better than The Division, but not any better than Warframe.

[@TheSpongyMallard]

The game has a very short “honeymoon period”. It takes like 3 hours or less to see how shallow the gameplay loop is. I love Warframe and WF’s gameplay loop isn’t that insane, but the gameplay has a much higher skill ceiling for what you can do. I thought it was at least better than vanilla Destiny 1, but it shows quickly that it’s more shallow. Even Destiny in 2014 still has better mission design(which is saying something). I didn’t know the build time was even worse than Warframe’s.
