It’s free to play people nowadays are critical I’ve played it. It’s not bad its actually pritty good 👍🏾 yes it could be better but let’s be honest for a Free to PLAY it’s good not the best but good just stressing free to play not 70 dollars to play and my hats off to descendent for a free to play game that I don’t need to pay 123 or 80 or 70 dollars to play.
It's a Korean game, and that means great graphics and production values, so-so gameplay, insane grinding, outrageous in-app purchases (which expire in time), repetitiveness ad nauseam, familiar designs suspiciously similar to certain Japanese or western titles, and beautiful female characters which would make any western developer choke and die in disbelief.
im actually pleasantly surprised that this game actually looks like it has some potential ahead of it, coming from a player with 1000+ hours in warframe hopefully this becomes good competition to other games in the genre
Getting an Anthem Feel from this right now and we all know how that turned out. If they want this game to Succeed they need to Listen to player feedback and implement it ASAP.
Personally it being extremely hard against the same level bosses is fine. I miss when bosses actually provided a challenge cause it feels good when you finally win
My first impression of the game is literally Division all over again. I am a sucker for looter shooter so I will definitely try out this game myself. However, I agree with all you said about its drawbacks. Division also have the same problems of limited gameplays during leveling and will get only good once you reach endgames (specific builds/playstyles/specs/etc.). I hope the devs will be more attentive to the game. Overall I love the gameplay so far and wish it would prosper in the future.
I think Kyle is slept on for tanky/dps use shield build meter then pop magnetic field negates damage while shooting at folks once all energy used massive explosion of energy to enemy like black panther
Im surprised to see no comments about the voice lines, i've lost count to how often my character says why now or so annoying in EVERY SINGLE BATTLE. And.. it doesn't make sense to why is my character constantly complaining every time is shooting enemies? The lack of emotion is annoying too, and not being able to leave the forced squads is annoying too, i can't take my time due to other people zooming in and rushing the quests im doing
As someone who has played Destiny 1 and 2 and also has 4,5k hours in Warframe I can say this looks like a discount WF with a promising yet narrow endgame, I would definitely keep it in the oven for way longer before releasing it, the rune system is a shameless copy of WF mod system but without the flavour that some of the mods add like the augments that modify the abilities or completely change their function and if they are going to copy it that bad they better do a job worth looking at and add some own identity so people don't see it just as a bad version of the WF's mod system. As a purely PvE game it either needs very strong and solid gameplay and mechanics and a compelling story or both and for now one is half cooked and the other is almost an excuse for the game to develop. My last concern is Nexon itself, it is infamous for being extremely greedy and I wonder how the monetization will be when the game actually launches. I really want this game to be successful because I like this genre and it needs new blood but if they get overconfident or greedy it will crash and burn real fast
Nailed this review on the head...I played for a few hours and pretty much every concern I had was what you ended up listing was an issue all game. The game is lacking overall depth and that's a bummer. It's has a great selection of light appetizers but no real entrée. 1. Skill evolution is a must and is desperately needed. None of the skills are fun enough in current iteration to keep this game fresh enough. Unless they plan on dropping new heroes every 2 weeks...won't last 2. I still don't get why one of these games won't embrace true roles in a team. Warframe dabbles, but largely its always all about DPS. First Descen is so close but still shallow. Utilize tanks give them defining traits to help mitigate dmg or even pull aggro temporary, Make being a support/debuffer a thing, an AOEr, a boss killer etc. It would help it standout 3. Game definitely needs more life whether it be NPCs, wild-life, crafting, idk it's missing something.
I'm really enjoying the beta so far. For me it has been far more enjoyable than Destiny ever was. I also think the lack of a dedicated Ultimate attack is disappointing though I could see it tied behind the probable Transcendent forms in the future.
Runes are literally just the modding system in warframe to the T. Runes in this game give Stat boosts and pretty much don't change skills (Like warframe with the exception of warframe's Augement mods that DO change how some skills work) Obtain mod Upgrade the mod to up the stats/cost of said mod Change the symbol on a slot to halve the cost of the mod Reset level of character to add the symbol only in this game it doesn't look like the process of adding a symbol will reset level? its only resetting to get the materal needed?
The game also doesn't seem to have a uniform design philosophy. This can be seen particularly with the characters and colossi. Some of the characters (like Bunny) stand out as very interesting designs while others just feel bland and generic.
Anthem is still the greatest lost potential. The basic fundamentals of that game (movement and combat) were absolutely paragon. They felt amazing and so fresh in this genre. Too bad the devs dropped the ball on literally everything else. What a joy it was to simply fly around in that game. I loved how seamless movement and combat were together. If another dev team comes around and even replicates some of it, they can take my money.
Still hurts me to this day how anthem went down , I still love that game because it was so original and felt fresh ,biggest lost potential in gaming history
I will admit Warframe now compare to 9 years is way different but I hope it doesn’t take nexon this long to make this game good. Plzzz don’t let it be a anthem 2. Plzzzz nexon give me a great release experience and I will support by buying premium currency.
Warframe was a miracle and had a good foundation and a solid game at launch. This is Nixon too, so... we know the rest. The longer and more resource they "waste" the more p2w it will be - and u can bet it will be p2w like all of their games. This isn't going to be some Hello Game redemption arc from the looks of this vid
You needn't worry about that, they will pull the plug on this in less than a year, we're talking about Nexon here. This is a big budget flop if I've ever seen one. Hard pass
Anthem isn't bad tho... People just like boring non skill trash like destiny that they don't play games that r actually fun... U can't even equip and exotic in every slot... Literally the only game that doesn't allow u too use whatever u want smh.. Destiny is meh at best. Only reason people even play destiny is because they wasted time and money on it.
@@subzero308 Anthem wasn't great and the only part most people found interesting was the flying being fun and being Iron Man-esque. The gun designs were almost all the same with tarps draped over them the campaign was so bad they forced you to do busy work to get through a door,the bugs,the servers all combined into an awful mess. Not to mention the behind-the-scenes where the devs didn't even know what the game was going to be until months before as corporate heads kept coming in and asking for changes.
Definitely looks very early Warframe adjacent in terms of gameplay. Lots of good points brought up here in terms of pain points. As you said, the moment-to-moment gameplay in an action looter shooter is paramount and it seems like they've done a pretty good job in that department thankfully. I'm a sucker for any action game that involves loot and numbers going up with colored rarities (think Diablo or Destiny) and I'm hoping Nexon doesn't mess this up.
@@barãosamedii no it's actually more similar to warframe than those games in that the gear is modifications rather than pieces of armour that visually changes your character - you control named characters with set abilities (aka warframes); much closer to warframe when you actually consider the details
There aren't enough people voicing concern and apprehension that Nexon is releasing yet another F2P game. Nexon is the king of starting with free games and then gradually morphing those games into predatory pay-to-win monstrosities. With them involved it's not a question of "if" that will happen, but "when."
I hope the developers watch videos like yours. All the points you made are good ones in my opinion. If they watch and truly care it could absolutely become a fun free to play experience that many people would really appreciate.
That's our goal with these things. Critically analyze a game at a systems level. If those don't hold up, the rest of the game won't either. Hopefully they strongly consider a lot of this feedback.
Its asian F2P meaning it is shit already. Any good part of the game will be overshadowed by miriad manufactured problems that will stop you and force you to pay up paypiggie. Go check out games like Darktide
The other problem here is since it's Nexon (this also applies to companies like NCSoft), they might just decide it's not worth the effort in 6 months if it's not immediately hitting whatever internal metrics fast enough and pull the plug, wiping your progress.
Thank you so much for being honest about the game. I was skeptical about what the beta experience could potentially be like once it dropped, and hearing an unfiltered take from someone with hands-on experience was definitely something that I needed to listen in on. Destiny 2 and Warframe are two of my most played games so I am very anxiously awaiting for this game to finally be released to the public, and having watched this is a huge help to aim where my expectations should be. So big thanks from me.
@@AlbertoGomez-iz7pl the second beta test is out right now, but it ends in a few days so take this chance to get some time in. As for official release I don't have a clue, more then likely it's gonna be a year or few before its out fully.
Ye definatly. Promising alpha basicly. Even when it go gold i dont really agree that "Shop/Marketplace is similar then warframe so no proplem there.." It is huge proplem if they sell runes or any materials to update runes etc.. because runes are power and warframe have player trading this dont. So Nexon P2W game basicly? 😁
For a beta looter shooter, its a pretty good start honestly. That being said first impressions are important and can be the turning point for a lot of players who are playing simply to check it out. They really need to work on the mission design, and movement capabilities, otherwise it will be a chore to run and slowly grapple to a mission you already know you don't want to do. That also being said, this is just the beginning, so be brutally honest AND kind.
no cover system is a double-edged sword. if done properly, it can add a lot to the game like gears of war. but if done poorly, it can sour the gameplay like in outriders.
Tell that to destiny lol. Luckily they will finally bring loadouts next DLC after not having them since 2014. Luckily I've been using 3rd apps like DIM
A common critique I've heard among first impressions is low enemy density. Destiny 2 had the same issue with not having enough enemies, after they basically tripled the amount, the game became a hell of a lot more fun. Hopefully the developers listen to these first impressions and make these changes
they could still use more enemies in strikes and some other activities. We have builds that can pretty much 1 shot a big group rather easily and there's still strikes with like 100 enemies.
@@ItalianMetalHED it definetly was, you could even see that after beyond light the expasion that started the trend of higher enemy desity, we saw a lot of problems with performans and teleportimng enemies, this was later fixed but definitly shows the hardware/engine architechtural challanges tied to higher enemy density.
This game is amazing! I hope they dont go the pay to win route and i can see this game blowing up and going to head to head with destiny and warframe. Its simple and grinding is relaxing instead of making it like a chore. Overall, this if this game just continues as it is without monetization being pay to win, this game will 100% be as succesful as destiny2 and warframe.
I say time will tell, destiny 1 and 2 had the same start then built something amazing over the course of a few years. Some people might not have that kind of faith but all you can really do is hope the devs have the spirit to improve the games quest expression and execution in the future.
It's wild how the game devs, that seem hell bent on chasing the "lightning in a bottle" experience that is Destiny, never attempts to make their game on par with later iterations of destiny rather than starting with the same barebones approach as vanilla D1.
Well nexon Made blue archive and is good but like that Game , it began extremely rough and in todays day is a lot more difficult to had that kind of faith
Hopefully the developers actually pay attention to these critiques and not just mover forward ignoring any feedback. We as players need games worth our time and can outshine the failures of Anthem and Outriders.
If they can get the end-game right, like say destiny 2 has, then this could be an incredible game with it having a solid gameplay foundation to build on, and as other games have shown, it doesn't have to launch with all the bells and whistles as long as they don't take too long to get it right.
Well this game looks like it took quiet a inspiration from warframe. the 3rd starter character ajax is like Volt in warframe with shield. his shiled deployment animation is like Banshee silence. i would love to get my hands on when it releases.
Agree that the grapple looks alot worse than what I was hoping for. Would like to see vehicles/mounts added and some npc's in the world for more immersion
This looks awesome, yeah sure there’s a fair amount of issues that affect the game and gameplay, but this is only its beta, and what you were given to play. Once they hear everyone’s feedback as long as they listen, this game will most likely end up on my favorites. Also you did a really good job with the review, most people are usually super biased and have a lot of irrelevance but you did good here. Liked and subbed
I was hoping this wouldn't be another Outriders. Kinda looks like it is though😕 Not a fan of the character selection either. Generic white guy #1, generic white guy #2, generic white woman, or masked person. Boring. Should have some kind of character customization if it's calling itself an rpg.
Yeah, I keep seeing comparisons to Warframe, but it definitely looks more like an Outriders clone. Warframe has you bullet jumping and sliding. Apparently, you can't even crouch in this game.
This is my most hyped looter shooter man i hope they dont go p2w and add a bit more depth to loot otherwise I don't see this game doing well in the long run. But this is a good start i hope i get into the beta 😂 and they needa add crouching and sliding
@@SGKestrel warframe is not really pay to progress even in the beginning tbh the only issue is that the tutorial sucks so most new players don't know what the heck they are doing lol. That games new player experience is garbage
@@lightnbrightt yeah, everything can be gained free in WF (except certains skins, ofc) , but you need to open wiki on 2nd monitor all the time XD. unless people do that, people will be compelled to spend premiums to progress not knowing how to farm it. thankfully warframe wiki is very extensive and updated with all details & necessary info , unlike many other games.
Great video again, great analysis, excellent communication. Love it, guys, keep me coming! The leveling experience hopefully isn't too bad at launch, but I'm happy to hear the gunplay is good, but it needs a good story!
great video it is rare to see a youtuber that just dose not flex at getting in a close preveiw just to get views and then trash the game when other that are not tubers should also get a chance to test out like the old days
"There is a lot of room for added depth" Just from this review / early look alone I'd say (assuming the devs can fix alot and expand) this has the potential to be a top 10 Looter Shooter. Maybe it's just me, but I see a space where Anthem utterly failed and is waiting to be taken. Hopefully they fix and expand on this game. Looks to me as though it could fill that slot that Anthem so sorely left unfulfilled. Amazing review / early look, ty
Top 10?? This genre barely supports 5 games at a time and really theres only 3 relevant ones, Deep Rock Galactic, Warframe and Destiny2 All other looter shooters have been massive flops and became irrelevant in months
@@sarntrex5776 it aint about liking, its about relevance There arent 10 good looter shooters in the market in total anyway Like Outriders is a cool and enjoyable game but its not a relevant looter shooter and same goes for basically any singleplayer ones as well Remnant from the Ashes is a masterpiece, still, not a relevant lootershooter And borderlands...exists i guess? We wish it didnt, but hey. Its a genre thats on the brink of death because of developers compromising fun for extracting just more sheer time from players Babylon: flop Godfall: flop Anthem: F L O P P Avangers: flippity flop Only good lootee shooters are from indies, hence why Deeprock reigns supreme and hence why Warframe didnt go bankrupt before growing decade old Regular publishers just dont have the soul it takes to make a good looter shooter, history is my witness Sure as hell its not Nexo proving me wrong lol
It's pretty much an exact copy & paste of every single system of Digital Extreme's Warframe. Unfortunately this lack of innovation and complete absence of own design ideas on Nexon's part makes The First Decendant look like another one of their money-grabs with the typical Nexon life cycle: f2p -> p2w -> dead. I hope I'm wrong, but it's Nexon.
As a warframe player i see 2 familiar mechanics : arcanes & forma systems. I don't mind the flatout buffs as long as the wpns will have a noticed impact with the character and vice-versa What made warframe actually shines is the partner program or guides of the lotus which made the game more understandable and kinda fun even with the grind, hope Nexon consider it too.
I find that almost every system is a direct copy from Warframe, with the reset mechanic from MU, and giant bosses like BDO, but the only exciting part are the huge bosses. Oh wait, Warframe have those too with the Eidolons and Profit Taker, so yeah, it's Warframe but bad. Graphics are great tho.
@@CrisHermetica Warframe Eidolon/Profit Taker/Void Angels need atleast 50+ grinding just get the gist of what's going on at the screen . Eidolon needs a huge prepping time compare to Profit Taker . I didn't get to Void Angels yet , soon .
@@flightlesscoffeebirdboy9655 Mostly spend grinding Eidolon more than PT . Got the hang of Terry in 50+ tries and then 30+ tries in Garry then 30+ more in Harry . Good thing I left Eidolon since its a toxic place to play , I was competitive in Eidolon hunting .
@@namzaysedwards2350 If you can one shot the Eidolon you can kill a Void Angel in SP, it's not hard, you just need a good amp, Madurai, and 2 best in slot arcanes for the amp. It's really easy with a normal build for Revenant and using Xata's whisper and the Felarx. Edit: btw you're right the only fight that need a lot of preparation is actually the Eidolon even in 2022.
Anyone remember this 3rd person Shooter game, Zombies Mechs & robots, ZMR? I swear this looks like it, polished. I hope they gonna change some things, but as things stand nowadays it will be mediocre and forgotten fast, i really hope they prove me wrong. :( And why not play WarFrame in the first place? I hope they come up with really unique things. Good video! ☺
Great video like always,guys - I'm hyped for this game since the first trailer came out. But I also was for Diablo Immortal and Undecember,and we all know where this ended - so,let's wait how the game looks when the cashcow bumps in🤷🏻♂️. Sorry for the pessimism but in the last few months I've lost my entire trust in publishers of free2play games and the last bit of hope is almost gone,too...
I'm glad at least some people are making the obvious comparisons to Warframe that are pretty undeniable to anyone who's played it. The interesting thing about comparing the premium currency between this game and Warframe is...will First Descendant have trading? I can collect rare stuff in Warframe, trade it for premium currency and get anything else I want for doing whatever activity I want. I'm gonna go out on a limb and predict First Descendant will not have trading, but...if it's going to pull inspiration from Warframe's modding, polarity and capacity systems, maybe it will. In any case, it would be really smart to allow First Descendant players to trade gear between each other for premium currency. It goes a VERY long way making the monetization more ethical and LESS required to pay real money.
I think it is unfair to compare any free to play games monetization to warframe's honestly. Sure people still bought enough to keep the company afloat but only barely. Hopefully it isn't pay to win but maybe skins? The problem with this is warframe wasn't making as much as people thought they were.
@@cynthiahembree3957 Well yes, very likely. Digital Extremes leaves a ton of money on the table other free to play games likely make due to allowing trading and radiant sharing relics to make Prime farming easier and such. Which, as I said, kinda makes the monetization they do have, even in the form of buying gear outright and Prime Access and such, more ethical. Maybe not perfectly 100% innocently ethical, but moreso. There have been observations that First Descenant's crafting will have wait times, so possible that their premium currency will allow for rushing like Warframe does. Like I said, if they're going to copy as much from Warframe as it looks like they are, that may extend to the monetization.
I like the reset of levels, but it shouldn't be overused, eventually it's gonna be like warframe where you just spend a whole day with alcohol running one map (the defense one) over and over again just because it's sooo boring to do it all the time, and it's effective. Alcohol part is optional of course and I wouldn't recommend it as I can barely level characters now without it :) This one will be interesting, I like realistic characters more than robots or frames. I hope they don't nerf ammo sizes, that they don't add critical stuff like knockdown resistances at 400 days login rewards. I mean who would add the real nice end game upgrades after 400 login rewards, cruel! :)
This game has potential. Look how raw Warframe looked when it came out and there was such a small amount of weapons / warframes / missions / enemy types / mods. Everything. They just need time before writing off.
100% agree on your take. Story has to be meaningful to grab a lot of people and the world should definitely feel more “alive.” Guns need some unique perks, kind of like how Destiny does. I’m still cautiously optimistic about this title. I do hope they take the constructive criticism to heart and iron out those issues. Looks fun!
I'll be honest. I gave the video a full watch and fair listen but the second you mentioned Nexon I was turned off. Nexon has a bad history of balance issues, over monetizing, and poor customer service/quality of life in game. Especially any branch of Nexon not specifically located in eastern countries. (Look what they did to my mans DNF over here). I really hope they can learn from they're past issues and took the time to avoid the pitfalls other games in this genre had. I'll keep this on my radar for future consideration.
I REALLY hope they listen to these concerns because the game could POTENTIALLY be really good. With there being no official release date, this will be the best time for them to fix the issues, do ANOTHER beta, fix those issues, do a FINAL beta, then plan for release. Thanks Legacy Gaming for this review and cant wait to test this out too.
Honestly sounds like a insanely good game... if it came out 2 years from now with a full price tag, they HEAVILY need to give it more features and stop relying on hype and "good graphics" It reminds me way too much of Anthem.
Thank you for an honest preview, was looking for something to occupy me when not playing Warframe, might wait for it to flesh out a bit further. I'm also concerned about the currency, having played Lost Ark I know just how much whale baiting can happen....
Okay, so what I'm getting from this video is that this is essentially Anthem 2.0? The gameplay itself was fun, but there's absolutely nothing of value outside of that... I'll keep an eye on this title, but right now this game is a pass.
I was stoked for this until you said Nexon and I groaned. Nexon = cash grab garbage and from everything you said by the end this game is cash grab garbage. I'll stick with destiny 2
Can you trade items for premium currency? Because if you can't it's not like Warframes at all... Trading and earning premium currency for free is the only reason Warframe isn't considered pay2win and why their community is fine with it
as someone who has played alot of different looter shooters i am excited about this game, but also worried its going to be too similar to other games of its type. it looks as though its trying to be a mix between warfame and destiny without too much cohesion or interest, warfame is one of my fav looter shooters due to how every weapon functions differently, you have shotguns but one can shoot a grenade while another shoots out an exploding spear. i feel what will make this game a lot better is making it so all the weapons work a little different from the others, make it so one smg shoots faster then the others but has lower dmg, higher mag cap and also harder to hip fire, while another one is slower, harder hitting but with a smaller mag and more stable aim from the hip. small changes like that will make it feel better but also allows for a lot of different weapons they can make and higher creativity. i want too see this game turn into its own little sub genre of looter shooters, not a warframe clone or a destiny one, something that stands out and caches your attention not just with cool looking guns and massive enemy's
The game looks good yes and the gun play seems to be excellent as well the variety of characters with different abilities is also very good but hearing all the negative stuff with exploring the open world no npcs no enemies roaming the open world no wildlife etc... I'm starting to get the feeling that it will turn out like Anthem. The game has so much potential and they need to make a lot of changes in my opinion starting with missions to add more add open world events side quest's from npcs etc... character customization maybe so you can make the characters look the way you want otherwise it will be a flop and be the next anthem. I think anthem has so much potential if they put more time into the game and didnt release so early and stayed in development for another 2 to 3 years.
This game looks like an almost carbon copy of outriders. And it seems to suffer from the same issues that outriders did. I really wish that developers would look at these other titles and take what works and get rid of what doesn’t or fix that aspect. Anthem had some of these issues, outriders as well and also a couple others I can think of. Seems like a promising title but it needs work before release.
I sense a great pain in the distant future. That pain comes as the classic **_looks up review and reviews in beta are all you get despite the game being out for a year or longer_**
It's going to be very interesting to watch this game develop. I've been playing a bit through the current open beta and it's been alright, largely leaving me to agree with most (if not all) the points you made in this video. My biggest concerns going forward are that it'll hit all the same snags as Warframe, even though it resembles and plays more like Destiny and Anthem way more. That said, it's already got a big leg up over Warframe in that players power isn't tired entirely to the rune system. Actually being able to kill enemies and get loot is a huge part of a looter/rpg game, and allows for effectively endless power growth for players to match an effectively endless level scaling of enemies, something Warframe has failed to account for in it's design. If I had to pick something out that wasn't covered in this video though, it would be the weapon proficiency system. It seems rather pointless as it is right now, as individual guns having proficiency means you are barely going to be raising your proficiency with any weapon until the end game, and even then, the moment you find a better gun, you're back to zero. It'd make more sense to have proficiency be tied to gun types overall, much like how it was in Borderlands 1, so you weren't constantly resetting your proficiency grind every time you got a new gun .
This game is anthem all over again. Unless it goes through some changes and updates, I don't see it going far at all. Talk about a major flop, but this is just a beta so let's see what happens when it comes out. 😕
The UI, as well as some other aspects, are giving me Anthem vibes. This is compounding with the fact that it seems to be suffering from a very similar problem that Anthem had. They NEED to figure out how to implement progression and gameplay loops that are FUN and MEANINGFUL. People will not play the game if you make it grindy just for the sake of grindiness. Second, cosmetics/high rarity items need to be BOTH visually and mechanically rewarding. I played Anthem. It LOOKED awesome, but that was it. Due to the issues above, I dropped it. Also, not to beat a dead horse, but Anthem's team really fucked up letting that bald kid take that armor that I worked for. I finally felt like I was getting a reward for my playtime, only to have Caillou take it because he was "emotional." I grinded those terrible missions after in the hopes I could kill him and get that armor back, only for the game to further cuck me. Tl;dr - make sure your players feel rewarded, and if you take something away from players, you better let them get it back later, with interest!
Ok, I finished watching the entire video, and it only proved everything I said above. Even the BBEG feels like it was copied from Anthem. This is not a bad thing, as Anthem had potential, but the NEED to fix the similar problems they currently share with Anthem.
And you called brutallyyyyyy honest . THIS GAME IS 99% CRAP. l empty game empty HUD empty amps , EMPTY BRAIN DEVS . lets move on to The division 1 FAAAAAAAAAAAR FAAAAAAAAAAAAAAR WAY BETTER . your welcome. END.
hahah and is the same crap system tier 3 and 2 do the same DAMAGE hahaha same as OUTRIDERS MISTAKE . there is NO DIFERENCE. Actually i have tier 1 level 23 that do more damage , more critic damage more critic chance than all my tier 3 weapons. hahaha that is NEXON DEVS so dead game .
I hope they don't rush the release. Don't turn into an Anthem. Take their time and release something that can actually compete with the other looter shooters out there
You said the shooting was good then said all the guns are boring and non-descript lolo. That means it's bad. Shooting being engaging in a looter is hugely reliant on weapons being unique, interesting and powerful. So you WANT to grind and experiment with different builds
This looks absolutely incredible! Like Outriders but on unreal engine 5! Really hope the F2P model doesn't ruin it. I hate F2P games in general. Hope it has good gamepad support too.
This really reminds me of anthem game play just without the flying. The whole game seems like anthem down to the current mission system complains and weapon varient issues.
Your spot on. This game needs a better "build" system. You basically raise your base stats and that's it. We need mods that'll make each character unique
This is my first look at the game and watching the gameplay footage I feel like everything you mentioned honestly resonated with me through the footage! Looks fun but I hope the Devs give this one a fighting chance!
I hope there is an improvement to the leveling - questing experience and the worlds feels a little bit more alive. If they fix these i can see this game going along way. The gameplay looks amazing.
I'm thankful for your work guys . Having played the open beta for the past few days, I can see that this kind of feedback had a big impact on the state of the game today (kudos to you and the developers) I hope there will be another video after the beta test period, because while they addressed, and improved, many of the things you touched on, they're a few more things they need to get right.. but the game is definitely better now than it was when you guys made this video.. so again, thanks 👍🏾

I played 7000hs of Warframe. If this Game is F2P and has
a non-braindead gameplay it WILL defenestrate Warframe.

im actually pleasantly surprised that this game actually looks like it has some potential ahead of it, coming from a player with 1000+ hours in warframe hopefully this becomes good competition to other games in the genre
Getting an Anthem Feel from this right now and we all know how that turned out. If they want this game to Succeed they need to Listen to player feedback and implement it ASAP.
I was thinking the same. Anthem without flying. Really disappointed they couldn’t fix Anthem.
This is the one of the most honest reviews I have seen in years. The game seems very very promising but I will hold my hype in the closet for now ;)
Personally it being extremely hard against the same level bosses is fine. I miss when bosses actually provided a challenge cause it feels good when you finally win
lol they copying destiny
@@SNNetwork It’s more on outriders and warframe but they’re all similar and they said that they’d be using said games as references
Seems more like enemies are bullet sponges rather than any relevant difficulty which is extremely boring
My first impression of the game is literally Division all over again. I am a sucker for looter shooter so I will definitely try out this game myself. However, I agree with all you said about its drawbacks. Division also have the same problems of limited gameplays during leveling and will get only good once you reach endgames (specific builds/playstyles/specs/etc.). I hope the devs will be more attentive to the game. Overall I love the gameplay so far and wish it would prosper in the future.
Weapons with percs, sounds like what they will be putting into lootboxes tbh
I think Kyle is slept on for tanky/dps use shield build meter then pop magnetic field negates damage while shooting at folks once all energy used massive explosion of energy to enemy like black panther
Im surprised to see no comments about the voice lines, i've lost count to how often my character says why now or so annoying in EVERY SINGLE BATTLE. And.. it doesn't make sense to why is my character constantly complaining every time is shooting enemies? The lack of emotion is annoying too, and not being able to leave the forced squads is annoying too, i can't take my time due to other people zooming in and rushing the quests im doing
I'm gonna wait for full release, I really want to like this.
As someone who has played Destiny 1 and 2 and also has 4,5k hours in Warframe I can say this looks like a discount WF with a promising yet narrow endgame, I would definitely keep it in the oven for way longer before releasing it, the rune system is a shameless copy of WF mod system but without the flavour that some of the mods add like the augments that modify the abilities or completely change their function and if they are going to copy it that bad they better do a job worth looking at and add some own identity so people don't see it just as a bad version of the WF's mod system. As a purely PvE game it either needs very strong and solid gameplay and mechanics and a compelling story or both and for now one is half cooked and the other is almost an excuse for the game to develop. My last concern is Nexon itself, it is infamous for being extremely greedy and I wonder how the monetization will be when the game actually launches. I really want this game to be successful because I like this genre and it needs new blood but if they get overconfident or greedy it will crash and burn real fast
Nailed this review on the head...I played for a few hours and pretty much every concern I had was what you ended up listing was an issue all game. The game is lacking overall depth and that's a bummer. It's has a great selection of light appetizers but no real entrée.
1. Skill evolution is a must and is desperately needed. None of the skills are fun enough in current iteration to keep this game fresh enough. Unless they plan on dropping new heroes every 2 weeks...won't last
2. I still don't get why one of these games won't embrace true roles in a team. Warframe dabbles, but largely its always all about DPS. First Descen is so close but still shallow. Utilize tanks give them defining traits to help mitigate dmg or even pull aggro temporary, Make being a support/debuffer a thing, an AOEr, a boss killer etc. It would help it standout
3. Game definitely needs more life whether it be NPCs, wild-life, crafting, idk it's missing something.
Tried this today in CB. I go back to Warframe or even Borderlands.
This game is missing almost everything these other games have since years!
I'm really enjoying the beta so far. For me it has been far more enjoyable than Destiny ever was. I also think the lack of a dedicated Ultimate attack is disappointing though I could see it tied behind the probable Transcendent forms in the future.
Runes are literally just the modding system in warframe to the T.
Runes in this game give Stat boosts and pretty much don't change skills (Like warframe with the exception of warframe's Augement mods that DO change how some skills work)
Obtain mod
Upgrade the mod to up the stats/cost of said mod
Change the symbol on a slot to halve the cost of the mod
Reset level of character to add the symbol only in this game it doesn't look like the process of adding a symbol will reset level? its only resetting to get the materal needed?
I hope this turns out better than The Outriders
The Frist 5 seconds really feel like outriders
Sounds like from all he said it’s a lesser version of outriders. (Which outriders wore out it’s charm very fast)
The game also doesn't seem to have a uniform design philosophy. This can be seen particularly with the characters and colossi. Some of the characters (like Bunny) stand out as very interesting designs while others just feel bland and generic.
WOW another Outriders + Warframe + Destiny + Gears... Game!
Anthem is still the greatest lost potential. The basic fundamentals of that game (movement and combat) were absolutely paragon. They felt amazing and so fresh in this genre. Too bad the devs dropped the ball on literally everything else.
What a joy it was to simply fly around in that game. I loved how seamless movement and combat were together. If another dev team comes around and even replicates some of it, they can take my money.
Felt the same way. A damn shame it went the way it did.
I never knew I needed a game that let me become Iron Man on Pandora, until Anthem. Now I just weep in a corner. 😭
Thinking of Anthems potential still makes me cry
Well this is a look-a-like, feel-like Anthem.
Still hurts me to this day how anthem went down , I still love that game because it was so original and felt fresh ,biggest lost potential in gaming history
I will admit Warframe now compare to 9 years is way different but I hope it doesn’t take nexon this long to make this game good. Plzzz don’t let it be a anthem 2. Plzzzz nexon give me a great release experience and I will support by buying premium currency.
Warframe was a miracle and had a good foundation and a solid game at launch. This is Nixon too, so... we know the rest. The longer and more resource they "waste" the more p2w it will be - and u can bet it will be p2w like all of their games.
This isn't going to be some Hello Game redemption arc from the looks of this vid
Don't worry Nexon doesn't support games nearly that long lol. Just look at maple story 2 and most of their other games.
You needn't worry about that, they will pull the plug on this in less than a year, we're talking about Nexon here. This is a big budget flop if I've ever seen one. Hard pass
Anthem isn't bad tho... People just like boring non skill trash like destiny that they don't play games that r actually fun... U can't even equip and exotic in every slot... Literally the only game that doesn't allow u too use whatever u want smh.. Destiny is meh at best. Only reason people even play destiny is because they wasted time and money on it.
@@subzero308 Anthem wasn't great and the only part most people found interesting was the flying being fun and being Iron Man-esque. The gun designs were almost all the same with tarps draped over them the campaign was so bad they forced you to do busy work to get through a door,the bugs,the servers all combined into an awful mess. Not to mention the behind-the-scenes where the devs didn't even know what the game was going to be until months before as corporate heads kept coming in and asking for changes.
Definitely looks very early Warframe adjacent in terms of gameplay. Lots of good points brought up here in terms of pain points. As you said, the moment-to-moment gameplay in an action looter shooter is paramount and it seems like they've done a pretty good job in that department thankfully.
I'm a sucker for any action game that involves loot and numbers going up with colored rarities (think Diablo or Destiny) and I'm hoping Nexon doesn't mess this up.
nah, its like Anthem and Outriders but obviously it has Warframe aspects.
Very.
Indeed
@@barãosamedii no it's actually more similar to warframe than those games in that the gear is modifications rather than pieces of armour that visually changes your character - you control named characters with set abilities (aka warframes); much closer to warframe when you actually consider the details
Destiny only has 2 colors, purple and yellow, we don't talk about blue lol
There aren't enough people voicing concern and apprehension that Nexon is releasing yet another F2P game. Nexon is the king of starting with free games and then gradually morphing those games into predatory pay-to-win monstrosities. With them involved it's not a question of "if" that will happen, but "when."
I hope the developers watch videos like yours. All the points you made are good ones in my opinion. If they watch and truly care it could absolutely become a fun free to play experience that many people would really appreciate.
That's our goal with these things. Critically analyze a game at a systems level. If those don't hold up, the rest of the game won't either. Hopefully they strongly consider a lot of this feedback.
I think the F2P model will spell an early death for this game.
Its asian F2P meaning it is shit already. Any good part of the game will be overshadowed by miriad manufactured problems that will stop you and force you to pay up paypiggie.
Go check out games like Darktide
@@adamszitas8564 holy cow you must have been burned by alot of Asian free to play games? Only time will tell, who knows may be a great game.
@@JSDRB all of them are shit by desing, thats their marketing.
There is no good F2P asian game, only shit and less shit ones
The other problem here is since it's Nexon (this also applies to companies like NCSoft), they might just decide it's not worth the effort in 6 months if it's not immediately hitting whatever internal metrics fast enough and pull the plug, wiping your progress.
agreed mabi one of their games is pay to win trash
@Sonic Mobian no way your tryna protect Nexon
Thank you so much for being honest about the game. I was skeptical about what the beta experience could potentially be like once it dropped, and hearing an unfiltered take from someone with hands-on experience was definitely something that I needed to listen in on. Destiny 2 and Warframe are two of my most played games so I am very anxiously awaiting for this game to finally be released to the public, and having watched this is a huge help to aim where my expectations should be. So big thanks from me.
Same, huge looter shooter fanatic here myself. Tens of thousands of hours lol
when is the game out
@@AlbertoGomez-iz7pl the second beta test is out right now, but it ends in a few days so take this chance to get some time in. As for official release I don't have a clue, more then likely it's gonna be a year or few before its out fully.
@@AlbertoGomez-iz7pl the developers stated they plan to have it out before February 2024
so anywhere from 1 - 5 months could be the wait time~
Sounds like Nexon have "The First Decendant" ready at base level & now need to take a another 2 years of development before it goes gold!
I'd be inclined to agree with you on that
Ye definatly. Promising alpha basicly. Even when it go gold i dont really agree that "Shop/Marketplace is similar then warframe so no proplem there.."
It is huge proplem if they sell runes or any materials to update runes etc.. because runes are power and warframe have player trading this dont.
So Nexon P2W game basicly? 😁
yeah no problem with that lol. Warframe is still in beta phase and is constantly developing
@@zafe_6233 Warframe is Beta to avoid Playstation embargos on content releases.
@@zafe_6233 yea “beta”
For a beta looter shooter, its a pretty good start honestly. That being said first impressions are important and can be the turning point for a lot of players who are playing simply to check it out. They really need to work on the mission design, and movement capabilities, otherwise it will be a chore to run and slowly grapple to a mission you already know you don't want to do. That also being said, this is just the beginning, so be brutally honest AND kind.
Isn't a beta consider close to the end product 🤔
@@acegears not necessarily.
@@acegears not for live service games. This one looks to be going the live service route.
Warframe is still in beta. 😏
@@BeardGrizzly for reasons involving PlayStation embargo’s its not really in beta
no cover system is a double-edged sword. if done properly, it can add a lot to the game like gears of war. but if done poorly, it can sour the gameplay like in outriders.
Definitely gotta put that loadout system into a game like this.
Tell that to destiny lol. Luckily they will finally bring loadouts next DLC after not having them since 2014. Luckily I've been using 3rd apps like DIM
The boss fights would be cool if many players can join like fighting in defiance 2050
A common critique I've heard among first impressions is low enemy density. Destiny 2 had the same issue with not having enough enemies, after they basically tripled the amount, the game became a hell of a lot more fun. Hopefully the developers listen to these first impressions and make these changes
they could still use more enemies in strikes and some other activities. We have builds that can pretty much 1 shot a big group rather easily and there's still strikes with like 100 enemies.
@@Killer7_2 On god it get irritating sometime cause I be trying out some builds but my teammates kill all the ads before I could try em out properly
do you think it was because of hardware limitations at that time?
They even have a few weapons that look like carbon copies of D2 exotics.
@@ItalianMetalHED it definetly was, you could even see that after beyond light the expasion that started the trend of higher enemy desity, we saw a lot of problems with performans and teleportimng enemies, this was later fixed but definitly shows the hardware/engine architechtural challanges tied to higher enemy density.
This game is amazing! I hope they dont go the pay to win route and i can see this game blowing up and going to head to head with destiny and warframe.
Its simple and grinding is relaxing instead of making it like a chore.
Overall, this if this game just continues as it is without monetization being pay to win, this game will 100% be as succesful as destiny2 and warframe.
I say time will tell, destiny 1 and 2 had the same start then built something amazing over the course of a few years. Some people might not have that kind of faith but all you can really do is hope the devs have the spirit to improve the games quest expression and execution in the future.
It's wild how the game devs, that seem hell bent on chasing the "lightning in a bottle" experience that is Destiny, never attempts to make their game on par with later iterations of destiny rather than starting with the same barebones approach as vanilla D1.
@@ThePowerOfOneThePowerOfTwo Agreed, comepletely
Well nexon Made blue archive and is good but like that Game , it began extremely rough and in todays day is a lot more difficult to had that kind of faith
Hopefully the developers actually pay attention to these critiques and not just mover forward ignoring any feedback. We as players need games worth our time and can outshine the failures of Anthem and Outriders.
If they can get the end-game right, like say destiny 2 has, then this could be an incredible game with it having a solid gameplay foundation to build on, and as other games have shown, it doesn't have to launch with all the bells and whistles as long as they don't take too long to get it right.
U should look at the helmet in the thumbnail and tell me it doesnt look like neserac sin
pretty much sums this game up perfectly.... nice lookin, shallow, forgettable.
Did not expect gameplay so soon but it's a welcome surprise and you always deliver so I'm all here for it
good review; the questing issues are a BIG problem for me here.
With a release date TBD, hopefully they have plans to implement a LOT more here, but.. yea, I agree
Damn I needed this game to be good. It gave me Lost Planet vibes and I miss the hell out of that game
Man you just unlocked a memory! Lost Planet was so good!
FR,Give that Man an Achievement!
Also, the headshot noise.....Tink!
That will maybe be the playable game 3 years down the line. Great review
No ESG women? I'm in!
Well this game looks like it took quiet a inspiration from warframe. the 3rd starter character ajax is like Volt in warframe with shield. his shiled deployment animation is like Banshee silence. i would love to get my hands on when it releases.
Open beta in 4 days!
Agree that the grapple looks alot worse than what I was hoping for. Would like to see vehicles/mounts added and some npc's in the world for more immersion
This looks awesome, yeah sure there’s a fair amount of issues that affect the game and gameplay, but this is only its beta, and what you were given to play. Once they hear everyone’s feedback as long as they listen, this game will most likely end up on my favorites.
Also you did a really good job with the review, most people are usually super biased and have a lot of irrelevance but you did good here. Liked and subbed
It looks like they blew all their time making it look good and forgot about making it fun.
Wow, this looks great. Aaaaand, that's it.
I was hoping this wouldn't be another Outriders. Kinda looks like it is though😕
Not a fan of the character selection either. Generic white guy #1, generic white guy #2, generic white woman, or masked person. Boring. Should have some kind of character customization if it's calling itself an rpg.
Yeah, I keep seeing comparisons to Warframe, but it definitely looks more like an Outriders clone. Warframe has you bullet jumping and sliding. Apparently, you can't even crouch in this game.
This is my most hyped looter shooter man i hope they dont go p2w and add a bit more depth to loot otherwise I don't see this game doing well in the long run. But this is a good start i hope i get into the beta 😂 and they needa add crouching and sliding
Its most likely going to go down the route of becoming a pay to progress game like Warframe was in the beginning for most players.
@@SGKestrel warframe is not really pay to progress even in the beginning tbh the only issue is that the tutorial sucks so most new players don't know what the heck they are doing lol. That games new player experience is garbage
@@lightnbrightt yeah, everything can be gained free in WF (except certains skins, ofc) , but you need to open wiki on 2nd monitor all the time XD. unless people do that, people will be compelled to spend premiums to progress not knowing how to farm it.
thankfully warframe wiki is very extensive and updated with all details & necessary info , unlike many other games.
Great video again, great analysis, excellent communication. Love it, guys, keep me coming! The leveling experience hopefully isn't too bad at launch, but I'm happy to hear the gunplay is good, but it needs a good story!
This game is very fun. I hope they incorporate a better "class build system"
Yay. More premade characters. So cool... revolutionary.
great video it is rare to see a youtuber that just dose not flex at getting in a close preveiw just to get views and then trash the game when other that are not tubers should also get a chance to test out like the old days
"There is a lot of room for added depth"
Just from this review / early look alone I'd say (assuming the devs can fix alot and expand) this has the potential to be a top 10 Looter Shooter. Maybe it's just me, but I see a space where Anthem utterly failed and is waiting to be taken. Hopefully they fix and expand on this game. Looks to me as though it could fill that slot that Anthem so sorely left unfulfilled.
Amazing review / early look, ty
Top 10?? This genre barely supports 5 games at a time and really theres only 3 relevant ones, Deep Rock Galactic, Warframe and Destiny2
All other looter shooters have been massive flops and became irrelevant in months
@@laszloneumann500 just because you don’t like other Looters doesn’t mean we don’t my guy, calm down lol
@@sarntrex5776 it aint about liking, its about relevance
There arent 10 good looter shooters in the market in total anyway
Like Outriders is a cool and enjoyable game but its not a relevant looter shooter and same goes for basically any singleplayer ones as well
Remnant from the Ashes is a masterpiece, still, not a relevant lootershooter
And borderlands...exists i guess? We wish it didnt, but hey.
Its a genre thats on the brink of death because of developers compromising fun for extracting just more sheer time from players
Babylon: flop
Godfall: flop
Anthem: F L O P P
Avangers: flippity flop
Only good lootee shooters are from indies, hence why Deeprock reigns supreme and hence why Warframe didnt go bankrupt before growing decade old
Regular publishers just dont have the soul it takes to make a good looter shooter, history is my witness
Sure as hell its not Nexo proving me wrong lol
It's pretty much an exact copy & paste of every single system of Digital Extreme's Warframe.
Unfortunately this lack of innovation and complete absence of own design ideas on Nexon's part makes The First Decendant look like another one of their money-grabs with the typical Nexon life cycle: f2p -> p2w -> dead.
I hope I'm wrong, but it's Nexon.
As a warframe player i see 2 familiar mechanics : arcanes & forma systems.
I don't mind the flatout buffs as long as the wpns will have a noticed impact with the character and vice-versa
What made warframe actually shines is the partner program or guides of the lotus which made the game more understandable and kinda fun even with the grind, hope Nexon consider it too.
I find that almost every system is a direct copy from Warframe, with the reset mechanic from MU, and giant bosses like BDO, but the only exciting part are the huge bosses. Oh wait, Warframe have those too with the Eidolons and Profit Taker, so yeah, it's Warframe but bad. Graphics are great tho.
@@CrisHermetica Warframe Eidolon/Profit Taker/Void Angels need atleast 50+ grinding just get the gist of what's going on at the screen . Eidolon needs a huge prepping time compare to Profit Taker . I didn't get to Void Angels yet , soon .

@@namzaysedwards2350 If you can one shot the Eidolon you can kill a Void Angel in SP, it's not hard, you just need a good amp, Madurai, and 2 best in slot arcanes for the amp. It's really easy with a normal build for Revenant and using Xata's whisper and the Felarx.
Edit: btw you're right the only fight that need a lot of preparation is actually the Eidolon even in 2022.
this game reminds me so much of outriders, but im still excited for it, thanks for making the video
Thx for the early review and as much as i want to play this i hope they take there time and fix most of these issues
Lot of hope for this one.
Anyone remember this 3rd person Shooter game, Zombies Mechs & robots, ZMR? I swear this looks like it, polished. I hope they gonna change some things, but as things stand nowadays it will be mediocre and forgotten fast, i really hope they prove me wrong. :( And why not play WarFrame in the first place? I hope they come up with really unique things. Good video! ☺
Hope the devs will iron all all of the problems out sooner than later
Great video like always,guys - I'm hyped for this game since the first trailer came out. But I also was for Diablo Immortal and Undecember,and we all know where this ended - so,let's wait how the game looks when the cashcow bumps in🤷🏻♂️. Sorry for the pessimism but in the last few months I've lost my entire trust in publishers of free2play games and the last bit of hope is almost gone,too...
I'm glad at least some people are making the obvious comparisons to Warframe that are pretty undeniable to anyone who's played it. The interesting thing about comparing the premium currency between this game and Warframe is...will First Descendant have trading? I can collect rare stuff in Warframe, trade it for premium currency and get anything else I want for doing whatever activity I want. I'm gonna go out on a limb and predict First Descendant will not have trading, but...if it's going to pull inspiration from Warframe's modding, polarity and capacity systems, maybe it will.
In any case, it would be really smart to allow First Descendant players to trade gear between each other for premium currency. It goes a VERY long way making the monetization more ethical and LESS required to pay real money.
I think it is unfair to compare any free to play games monetization to warframe's honestly. Sure people still bought enough to keep the company afloat but only barely. Hopefully it isn't pay to win but maybe skins? The problem with this is warframe wasn't making as much as people thought they were.
@@cynthiahembree3957 Well yes, very likely. Digital Extremes leaves a ton of money on the table other free to play games likely make due to allowing trading and radiant sharing relics to make Prime farming easier and such. Which, as I said, kinda makes the monetization they do have, even in the form of buying gear outright and Prime Access and such, more ethical. Maybe not perfectly 100% innocently ethical, but moreso.
There have been observations that First Descenant's crafting will have wait times, so possible that their premium currency will allow for rushing like Warframe does. Like I said, if they're going to copy as much from Warframe as it looks like they are, that may extend to the monetization.
I like the reset of levels, but it shouldn't be overused, eventually it's gonna be like warframe where you just spend a whole day with alcohol running one map (the defense one) over and over again just because it's sooo boring to do it all the time, and it's effective. Alcohol part is optional of course and I wouldn't recommend it as I can barely level characters now without it :)
This one will be interesting, I like realistic characters more than robots or frames. I hope they don't nerf ammo sizes, that they don't add critical stuff like knockdown resistances at 400 days login rewards. I mean who would add the real nice end game upgrades after 400 login rewards, cruel! :)
Looks good so far
I just pray all goes well
This game has potential. Look how raw Warframe looked when it came out and there was such a small amount of weapons / warframes / missions / enemy types / mods. Everything.
They just need time before writing off.
100% agree on your take. Story has to be meaningful to grab a lot of people and the world should definitely feel more “alive.” Guns need some unique perks, kind of like how Destiny does. I’m still cautiously optimistic about this title. I do hope they take the constructive criticism to heart and iron out those issues. Looks fun!
I'll be honest. I gave the video a full watch and fair listen but the second you mentioned Nexon I was turned off. Nexon has a bad history of balance issues, over monetizing, and poor customer service/quality of life in game. Especially any branch of Nexon not specifically located in eastern countries. (Look what they did to my mans DNF over here). I really hope they can learn from they're past issues and took the time to avoid the pitfalls other games in this genre had. I'll keep this on my radar for future consideration.
I REALLY hope they listen to these concerns because the game could POTENTIALLY be really good. With there being no official release date, this will be the best time for them to fix the issues, do ANOTHER beta, fix those issues, do a FINAL beta, then plan for release. Thanks Legacy Gaming for this review and cant wait to test this out too.
Honestly sounds like a insanely good game... if it came out 2 years from now with a full price tag, they HEAVILY need to give it more features and stop relying on hype and "good graphics"
It reminds me way too much of Anthem.
Thank you for an honest preview, was looking for something to occupy me when not playing Warframe, might wait for it to flesh out a bit further. I'm also concerned about the currency, having played Lost Ark I know just how much whale baiting can happen....
So tl;Dr - everything is bland, empty, samey and boring. EVERYTHING. 😂 Typical Nexon cash grab
Okay, so what I'm getting from this video is that this is essentially Anthem 2.0? The gameplay itself was fun, but there's absolutely nothing of value outside of that... I'll keep an eye on this title, but right now this game is a pass.
I was stoked for this until you said Nexon and I groaned. Nexon = cash grab garbage and from everything you said by the end this game is cash grab garbage. I'll stick with destiny 2
Can you trade items for premium currency? Because if you can't it's not like Warframes at all... Trading and earning premium currency for free is the only reason Warframe isn't considered pay2win and why their community is fine with it
as someone who has played alot of different looter shooters i am excited about this game, but also worried its going to be too similar to other games of its type. it looks as though its trying to be a mix between warfame and destiny without too much cohesion or interest, warfame is one of my fav looter shooters due to how every weapon functions differently, you have shotguns but one can shoot a grenade while another shoots out an exploding spear. i feel what will make this game a lot better is making it so all the weapons work a little different from the others, make it so one smg shoots faster then the others but has lower dmg, higher mag cap and also harder to hip fire, while another one is slower, harder hitting but with a smaller mag and more stable aim from the hip. small changes like that will make it feel better but also allows for a lot of different weapons they can make and higher creativity. i want too see this game turn into its own little sub genre of looter shooters, not a warframe clone or a destiny one, something that stands out and caches your attention not just with cool looking guns and massive enemy's
The game looks good yes and the gun play seems to be excellent as well the variety of characters with different abilities is also very good but hearing all the negative stuff with exploring the open world no npcs no enemies roaming the open world no wildlife etc... I'm starting to get the feeling that it will turn out like Anthem. The game has so much potential and they need to make a lot of changes in my opinion starting with missions to add more add open world events side quest's from npcs etc... character customization maybe so you can make the characters look the way you want otherwise it will be a flop and be the next anthem. I think anthem has so much potential if they put more time into the game and didnt release so early and stayed in development for another 2 to 3 years.
This game looks like an almost carbon copy of outriders. And it seems to suffer from the same issues that outriders did. I really wish that developers would look at these other titles and take what works and get rid of what doesn’t or fix that aspect. Anthem had some of these issues, outriders as well and also a couple others I can think of. Seems like a promising title but it needs work before release.
I sense a great pain in the distant future. That pain comes as the classic **_looks up review and reviews in beta are all you get despite the game being out for a year or longer_**
It's going to be very interesting to watch this game develop. I've been playing a bit through the current open beta and it's been alright, largely leaving me to agree with most (if not all) the points you made in this video. My biggest concerns going forward are that it'll hit all the same snags as Warframe, even though it resembles and plays more like Destiny and Anthem way more. That said, it's already got a big leg up over Warframe in that players power isn't tired entirely to the rune system. Actually being able to kill enemies and get loot is a huge part of a looter/rpg game, and allows for effectively endless power growth for players to match an effectively endless level scaling of enemies, something Warframe has failed to account for in it's design.
If I had to pick something out that wasn't covered in this video though, it would be the weapon proficiency system. It seems rather pointless as it is right now, as individual guns having proficiency means you are barely going to be raising your proficiency with any weapon until the end game, and even then, the moment you find a better gun, you're back to zero. It'd make more sense to have proficiency be tied to gun types overall, much like how it was in Borderlands 1, so you weren't constantly resetting your proficiency grind every time you got a new gun .
This game is anthem all over again. Unless it goes through some changes and updates, I don't see it going far at all. Talk about a major flop, but this is just a beta so let's see what happens when it comes out. 😕
Arch Crystals that sets your character back to level 1 : this is known as forma in Warframe. Hell, they even have mastery ranks!!
Why does every title have to be BRUTAL, INSANE or BROKEN these days?
The UI, as well as some other aspects, are giving me Anthem vibes. This is compounding with the fact that it seems to be suffering from a very similar problem that Anthem had. They NEED to figure out how to implement progression and gameplay loops that are FUN and MEANINGFUL. People will not play the game if you make it grindy just for the sake of grindiness. Second, cosmetics/high rarity items need to be BOTH visually and mechanically rewarding.
I played Anthem. It LOOKED awesome, but that was it. Due to the issues above, I dropped it. Also, not to beat a dead horse, but Anthem's team really fucked up letting that bald kid take that armor that I worked for. I finally felt like I was getting a reward for my playtime, only to have Caillou take it because he was "emotional." I grinded those terrible missions after in the hopes I could kill him and get that armor back, only for the game to further cuck me.
Tl;dr - make sure your players feel rewarded, and if you take something away from players, you better let them get it back later, with interest!
Ok, I finished watching the entire video, and it only proved everything I said above. Even the BBEG feels like it was copied from Anthem. This is not a bad thing, as Anthem had potential, but the NEED to fix the similar problems they currently share with Anthem.
And you called brutallyyyyyy honest . THIS GAME IS 99% CRAP. l empty game empty HUD empty amps , EMPTY BRAIN DEVS . lets move on to The division 1 FAAAAAAAAAAAR FAAAAAAAAAAAAAAR WAY BETTER . your welcome. END.
hahah and is the same crap system tier 3 and 2 do the same DAMAGE hahaha same as OUTRIDERS MISTAKE . there is NO DIFERENCE. Actually i have tier 1 level 23 that do more damage , more critic damage more critic chance than all my tier 3 weapons. hahaha that is NEXON DEVS so dead game .
Reseting your character to level 1 again to progress again sound a lot like Warframe system.
I hope they don't rush the release. Don't turn into an Anthem. Take their time and release something that can actually compete with the other looter shooters out there
You said the shooting was good then said all the guns are boring and non-descript lolo. That means it's bad. Shooting being engaging in a looter is hugely reliant on weapons being unique, interesting and powerful. So you WANT to grind and experiment with different builds
The shooting is good. The gun variation is bad. That's a pretty clear cut differentiation.
This looks absolutely incredible! Like Outriders but on unreal engine 5! Really hope the F2P model doesn't ruin it. I hate F2P games in general.
Hope it has good gamepad support too.
should get huge boss spawn in free roam where lots of player can fight it together.
Questing system and combat reminds me of Anthem. This game needs a year delay.
This really reminds me of anthem game play just without the flying.
The whole game seems like anthem down to the current mission system complains and weapon varient issues.
Thank you! I thought I was the only one who thought this looked exactly like Anthem.
Your spot on. This game needs a better "build" system. You basically raise your base stats and that's it. We need mods that'll make each character unique
NEXON... how is the cash shop 🤣😂
This is just Anthem but with different people and enemy design
This is my first look at the game and watching the gameplay footage I feel like everything you mentioned honestly resonated with me through the footage! Looks fun but I hope the Devs give this one a fighting chance!
I hope there is an improvement to the leveling - questing experience and the worlds feels a little bit more alive. If they fix these i can see this game going along way. The gameplay looks amazing.
I'm thankful for your work guys . Having played the open beta for the past few days, I can see that this kind of feedback had a big impact on the state of the game today (kudos to you and the developers) I hope there will be another video after the beta test period, because while they addressed, and improved, many of the things you touched on, they're a few more things they need to get right.. but the game is definitely better now than it was when you guys made this video.. so again, thanks 👍🏾
