IGN is a terrible website, and their reviews should never be taken seriously.
This for real
So sad that people takes them seriously
One thing to keep in mind is that there's no way 1 guy can like every.Type of game
Yep like everyone else says
"You can't spell ignorant without ign"
Bruh😂😂😂
Nah, that's giving console players a bad name. He ain't a console player, he's just a nimrod
yo, the hate on console is insane 😭 we all gamers, leave me alone
I love you guys though :(
I love you guys too but you get to understand that you're inferior
@@tiagobrito69 lol, no doubt pc it better in terms of performance 💯 but i'm definitely picking controller over m&k in most instances.
@@taylrgng I got you, I have a friend who is also like that, my party is very diverse the only thing about control is that I don't feel that the aim is responsive enough in terms of speed. But definitely, it beats on comfort and flexibility, I mean you can play from the couch.
@tiagobrito69 hah, nah don't get me wrong man, I'll hook up my PC to the big screen and play LoL on my couch too. I just like controller for movement and all the buttons I need being right there, especially since I play with paddles and all my fingers. even on my mouse I have a razer with like 11 buttons on the side 😂
in terms of accuracy m&k is king, but then again I play console with aim assist turned off, it can get in the way a lot of the time
Viessa makes the game addicting for sure lol. I'm glad that I picked her first.
Lol I picked her as well as my first Descendant
She’s so fun 👌 I really enjoy playing her over Bunny and I started the game initially because of Bunny 😂😂
@Bloodshoteye21 right? Lol
He’s just a Destiny Fanboy trashing it because he feels threatened by a game that people like that is like Destiny.
Destiny is ass tho 🤣
Why would destiny fanboys be threatened by this game?. Its more of a dollar store warframe than anything😂
Nah as a destiny player for the past decade I've been playing this for a week I've got over 100 hours and just got ult ajax
The only thing I agree with is repetitive missions but destiny has that too a lot
I will never play D2 again I am now on TFD and cannot stop!
I fully endorse games taking the idea's we as gamers love, removing the annoying shit and putting them in their own game 100%. I fail to see why most people think this is bad it makes no sense.
I'm pretty sure it's just the loud minority that complains about games being a "copy" of another game, otherwise game devs would stop doing it.
@@RanRan_11 and then there is ign making a minority's rant and spreading it to the majority. Good thing no one trusts ign otherwise TFD would be cooked 😔
Yeah its so dumb. Does the game story sucks? Is it sometimes buggy? Is it a copy of other looter shooters? Yes yes yes. But so is Destiny 2 and Warframe, and IGN reviewed them better. Its just dumb.
Its a game and obviously any looyer shooter fan will enjoy this game
Yeah but nexon literally stole a shit system and they put it in the game, dont tell me you think forma is a good system
@@shawary1249 I didn't mention anything specific so no idea how you came to this conclusion.
yeah when he said the materials and crafting system felt really overwhelming 😅 lol. Like, i had never played a game like this before and i didn't think it was that overwhelming, it was actually pretty simple to understand 🤓 Elly's face in the thumbnail is great HAHAHA
whats crazy to me is
if you play warframe...you pretty much have to google every shit
now, in this game you can basicly search ingame, for almost everything youre looking for and somehow its "overwhelming" and "confusing"
lol
@@cptnhero6116this!!!! Omg, as a new player in warframe you gotta google everything!! In this one you can search where it drops easily and the drop rates
@@cptnhero6116that the best part is. You can just find what material it need and which one that drop it.
Isnt he talking about every game for the past 30 years? The ones that make you want to do it over and over are the good ones.
As a filthy casual who is still on normal mode and is almost to Swamp Walker… screw IGN, this is near perfect for me to come home from work and shut my mind off to.
Same 🎉
Well yeah, having to shut your brain off to enjoy the game is part of the problem…
Same here, it's free.
@@markedone494how is that a problem not everyone wants to have to turn there brain on for every game they play only time you need to turn you’re brain on is if you really want to finish something or work on a build simple
nah the story did have some amazing moments.. Like the scene when executor its cut in half or when the blondy annoying guy die..
Honestly a lot of the later cutscenes were cooking. Especially after the agna desert iron heart cutscene
let's be honest, that review was a joke.
♥
8:40 those terms are all very easy to understand if you pay even just a little attention.
Dimensional wall: the barrier that separate thier world from the rest, ie every enemy come from the other side of that wall. Hence why we want to plug the hole.
Inverted data code : Macguffin
Arche: An other word for mana
Damn this dude wants a free game that has free loot given immediately and he wants the pretty skins for free too? Spoiled kid much?
The thing is, you don't have to play the game at full speed or full commitment. Honestly, I see less fulltime gamers and most people casually game on and off, often with families, healthier IRL relationships and jobs/duties to fulfill. These are also the people that can afford the microtransactions. The grindiness and the timers actually tells me that Nexon is saying "You're not a kid anymore, you're an adult now, so pace yourself and don't burn yourself out. Get out, talk to your family, don't go to bed too late you got work tomorrow. See you on the weekend." I'm cool with that.
The Participation Trophy generation is real, they're just adults in the work force now and still expect to be handed things.
Agreed I only get to play TFD for about 1 or 2 hours a day then that's it. Farmed sharen, Freya, Valby, and Blair. Working on getting Enzo. It's like when I was playing monster hunter with that time limit 2-3 quests a day and got to endgame. People really do gotta go fast😂.
The console player disrespect is kinda rude
Also not serious
I recommend playing Esiemo solely by the fact that everytime you use his 2nd skill he does the "Mods, crush his skull" gesture.
I run by the 1 hour = $1 rule.
I spent $100, I played 146hrs. I say the game did something right.
Also is it me or I totally expected ultimates to take 3 months, I see people achieving results in 3 days of focused grind. Damn.
Nah, I just give up to grind for ultimate because the boss are to hard for me. 😅
Descendants slots are also locked behind a pay wall, which kinda sucks. But I haven’t reached that part yet
Yeah it sucks but tell yourself it could be worse. Warframe give you 2 slots instead of 10
I don’t trust any Legacy Media anymore. They are driven by money. I look for reputable individuals that review games. The game is a 7/10 for me. Pushing 8/10.
The grind kinda sucks but I don't know why everyone expects to have everything unlocked in the game in one week.
Understandable
It would be nice that’s why… haha but I know how this game is since I played Destiny 1 and 2. Still grinding The First Descendant and enjoying it but who knows when that love will end.
He said he spent 120hours on FD. And compared it to genshin? Seriously IGN reviews have dropped in quality. 3/10 review
Elly...nobody take IGN (minus Destin), Kotaku, etc serious. They would give a horrible game like suicide squad a high score and a free game with fan service and lets you either farm for your stuff and descendants or buy them a low score
That’s because TFD didn’t send them money so they gonna shit on them. Where as those other games paid them generously and they rub their hands with greed and write high scores review for them. It’s just pure corruption at its finest.
ngl ultimate Bunny lured me in 😅 then I got DPS checked by Devourer now here I am 20hrs+ figuring out how the game mechanics actually work
lol
I believe that the issue here on the all the complaints on drop rates is due do you getting to see all of the possible items that can drop for each event or activity. There is also some hidden drops that happend with the mobs that you can not see but for the most part you can see them. All other Looter shooters do not give you a drop rate ever it may tell you you can get certain items from certain activities but never a drops rates. My guess the drop rates are there since Nexon was convicted of deceptive practices by the Koren Gov and charged millions of dallers. This allows some transparance which is not normal for NA games or game companies and something we are not use to seeing.
Bro said he had to play a mission 8 times. Sir those are little league numbers
"Timers are annoying..nothing should exceeded 1hr" meanwhile warframe take 3days to make 1 char 23hrs to make a slot filler 12hrs to make a weapon lol.
Showing an even worse example just proves the original is literally as bad as its being said…
@@markedone494his point stands regardless so if people wanna complain about timers I suggest they go look at how long it takes to make frames and weapons on warframe waiting 1 day or a few hours is honestly not even bad gives you more time to do other things
You say this as if people praise Warframe timers...
@@jimmyawesome2458 Why are there so many people defending this? you know what would be mind blowing? Get this.... NO TIMERS IN BOTH GAMES! MIND BLOWING RIGHT?! Timers do nothing but make the games worse and even DE acknowledged this
Playing on console or pc shouldn't be a problem 😅 just play on what you feel like playing on
true
@@EllyRUclips each has its pro's and cons
The First Descendant devs didn't pay for review and this is a result.
holup this guy plays destiny regularly and he complaining about the drop rates here O_O? You can pretty much get everything you want within a week (6 days for ult gley) meanwhile on destiny you are time gated for drops especially in dungeon and raids. Like what the....
I like this game but I have some issues with it that are the enemies come at you like a swarm to kill you that makes me quite annoyed and sometimes those amounts of enemies just makes my game crash in multiple ways or make me lag in the game but I hope they make a limit on the enemies attacking you in the game also the server I'm playing at on my PS4 slim needs a bit improvement on being able to handle the enemies level of spawns that are made in it
fair
No gate keeping that doing boss raids just like LA is the best way for me.
I love this game. I know exactly what I'm getting if I spend money. No loot boxes. 100% get what you buy. No pvp. Free game. Addicting as hell. I freaking love it.
♥
Ive grinded 9 descendants and 2 ultimates. Plus 3 energy converters and a dozen catalysts. Its good if that's what you like. Switch ur brain off fun.
Shaky start? Player count shows that it is not.They also released a statement, and there is alot to come for this game. It is really free to play for the whole game. No need for buying stuff if you grind.
This is a looter shooter, so grinding is the biggest part of these games.
One thing that I love is the glossary. That tells you exactly where a material is. I play this game to gather them all.
Materials is quite generous.
Destiny for example that is p2w. Buy expansion and then buy dungeons keys to be able to play the expansion.
let em know!
What's genuinely annoying, is people who say "cooked", "let them cook", "cooking", etc... It's cancerous.
aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa
TFD is just like the other big looter shooter live service games that release month one were: Week one server issues, way under cooked, overhyped, buggy, sound design is bad, super grindy, exploiting missions to ease grind, story that is passible but forgettable. All these games have the same issues on launch. Just the ones that fix these issues are the ones who survive.
XD lepic is nice vs the boss balls. One ult from lepic wipe the balls and does dmg to boss.
Viessa's blizzard does that pretty well too. You can also use gl.
And I'm sure there's a lot of ways to deal with them that idk yet
♥
Saying that no game has a good story and that stories don't matter, and that if you wanted to read a story you would read a book or watch a movie, is a very outdated mindset. I'm not trying to tell anyone how to play, but I learned English because I wanted to understand the game's story, the characters, and what was happening. This shows how important game stories can be. Anyway, great video as always.
Mate, name a lootershooter with a good story except borderlands 2.
Destiny has like 4 good cut scenes every 3 years, I've literally never seen anyone talk about warframe's story, the division is nonsense, anthem was generic slop, borderland 3 story was so bad it almost killed the franchise, etc...
This isn't Sony's movie game with occasional gameplay number 345. It's a gameplay focused game and the devs have way better things to do rather than wasting time on a story most players skip anyways
@@Jet-ij9zc Allow me to repeat what I said earlier, as it seems you didn't understand:
1. My comment was not to say that developers should pay more attention to the game's story than to gameplay.
2. She mentioned game stories in general, not just focused on looter shooters.
3. If most people skip the game's story as you mentioned, does that not mean the game has room for improvement? If the game is a 10/10 in gameplay, it could be enhanced with a good story and become an 11/10, it could have an incredible soundtrack and become a GOTY, and so on.
@Tinesh1
1: studios and devs have limited budget and time. Investment made into a better story actively takes away from Investment that could have been made into gameplay. (And yes, I know devs don't write story script. But every $ spent on hiring more and better writers is a $ that could have been spent hiring more and better dev).
2: if so my bad I guess. I thought we were specifically talking about looters. But to be fair my point applies to every game except a handful that specifically market themselves as being story first (think Kojima for example).
3: see point one. Why prioritize what a small minority of players care about at the expense of what basically every player cares about. Also, GOTY (and pretty much every other similar awards across any medium) is mostly irrelevant. It's literally just Jeff keele saying, "Hey I like your game" and by the time a game earns goty the overwhelming majority of its sales are already made. Not to mention that there's only two way to get a goty. Either you dominate the conversation that year so hard that Jeff has no choice but to give it to you, lest he destroys his shows reputation (think eldenring, which didnt have a particularlygood story btw) or you make a mediocre award bait game to please critics in spite of players (think tlou2)
:(
I literally commented on their page, are we playing the same game?
:(
if Elly dont hate my game .. IGN is ! saddies
Woah dont let him trick you into thinking us consol players are dumb. A lot of us are just poor 🤣
I think people forget you’re getting a free game. A FREE game.
Games with good story, Nier, Mass effect 1 and 2, Assassin's Creed 1 to 4, Persona 5, Metal Gear Solid games. Now if you meant no mmo game has a good story, then that is true
The only one I can think of is borderlands 2. And even then it's not that the story was all that good, it's just that handsome Jack carried it
@Jet-ij9zc the overall story for borderlands 2 was good. Every character was funny in their own way. Handsome Jack just made it more interesting
I agree ME1-ME3
TFD is fun but falls short of being great. I do like it, but it doesn't quite scratch the itch that Destiny used too. I do mean used to, Destiny has become a joke. I like all the characters in TFD more than most other games. It just falls a tad short. Maybe in a year it'll have all I personally need to call it great.
Thank you Ellie for standing up to a great video game
The First Descendant
yis
I'm used to seeing IGN shitting on games that are liked by majority, it's their talent, tbh i wouldn't be surprised if they decided to shit on TAL or other highly anticipated games
Hi elly just found out on new updates a new decendant being added soon called Glitch she is another elite assassin I bealive this could be another stealth character like sharron however Glitch is an elite sniper expert so far I've descoverd she has red hair weiring a long dust cover hooded coat holding a sniper rifle. It would be nice to have more than one stealth character in the game for the outpost sections
Very nice video, it's nice to see someone trying be objective about a review which is not nice about a game you like. Respect your opinion about grind in the game is part of it, but saying videogames don't have good stories is just plain wrong and makes you sound like ign itself. Still much love elli❤
I usually play games for the story, but for this game I always pressed the skip button
awww
Well that’s the point isn’t it, make the game free, increase grind and minimise drop rates,
Then add a Store to buy the things that have been designed to be really hard to farm so you spend real money.
Sure you can see it that way too, fair
I literally got Bunny in my first 5-6 hours of playing. Materials are in the questline and I guess I got enough money just "grinding".
"no games have good story"... have you tried ffxiv? just for the story alone?
Lol, got my Ult Bunny fairly quickly F2P. Shouldn't take 10 hours to get the blueprints for Freyna.
I managed to get ult bunny, ult gley (shes being researched rn) 4 energy activators, and roughly 18 crystallization catalysts with 7 days played. It really isn't too bad. Completely f2p
My friend tried getting freyna for 4 days before finally just buying it
Warframe is way more grindy then this lmao even black desert is more grindy
The drop rates are probably generous but at the same time there are lot of layers of rng
tru
I’d sub but I’m a lower class dirty console player. ☹️
No you're not :(
i'd like to be able to customize the UI, I'm not a personal fan of it.
fair
I farmed my ultimate gley in 2 days with a lucky energy activator blueprint drop so im actually already set.
Nice!
What score ign given for suicide squad?bcs suicide squad worst then this
Lol they gave suicide squad a high score but only one sane person from IGN (Destin) criticized the game
I've been alive for a few decades but can't remember when IGN didn't had a dogshit take on anything. Wonder why anyone would take them seriously.
:(
I disagree with his review i will give it an 8 change the weapons system give each character their own weapon base system that includes the module and reactor that my only thing i want to try different build but i would have to which that every time i which to a descendant
That little friend doesn't know what he's talking about, poor ignorant little friend.
What do you mean?! IGN is known for their based reviews (this is sarcasm) 😇
Fun free to play looter shooter. Players that want to spend money pay the way for everyone else. Just curious how they will handle any dlc in the future.
It should be made that any critic has to put down where they set the bar. If he’s judging this game off of something that’s not a looter shooter then he’s judging the wrong game.
True
I understand the monster hunter thing. They throw a lot at you especially in rise
Throw* 😘
@@sam313skunk thanks idk what was going through my head lmao
It's more like the mechanics in Monster Hunter are more foreign to most people.
In TFD, when you first get into the game and maybe you pick Lepic, the shooting mechanic is already familiar to you, right click to aim and left click to shoot, Lepic's grenade is also familiar, throw the thing and it explode, same with many other stuff, so you don't even have to think to play the game.
But Monster Hunter, you might not be familiar with its system because it's a niche game or used to be, so you have to constantly think about it and it takes up mental stack.
@hentacletentai2160 100% but I still had to take a small amount of time to understand some little nuances. I was more stating that it's a lot when you start anyway so I don't disagree one bit.
In defense of the missions, in the end the ultimate goal of the game is to be grindable. If the mission is a long set piece with multiple time consuming objectives, that would be dumb. So some are understandable but others are fucking bullshit. I'm looking at you drone escort mission. But the other stuff? I'm fine with. Deposits, collectible, kill and destroy objectives. All of them are fine so far into the game.
edit: especially the one in white night gulch, that drone got me fked up. I still remember trying to do it solo since no one was in vacinity and i still didnt understand the hp/def/shield stats with how they work with the mods and equipments.
Well even with his ridiculous review the game still sits at 175,000 players actively and one person already spent 200 hours unlocking every single descendant you can get in the game.
The game has fantastic animations, combat, graphics, the game is amazing in my opinion
I suspect that IGN is also part of DEI or the so call Sweet baby inc
that would explain alot
Damn what's with the hate for console players?
Its not serious, I'm a console enjoyer
lol the salt on console player
Its a joke
This review sucks. But imo the games a 4/10. Its exactly what i expected from a korean made generic f2p game🤷♂️
aaaaaaaaaaaaa, you're lucky you're cute
the moment someone equates a game to just being a copy they loose me and in my eyes invalidates the 20+ minutes of yapping
this is the reason no one takes IGN serious anymore lmao i personally play this game (on console thanks for the slander lmao) but this game is really fun and has a good and strong community much better than other games that are toxic asf
Give this game a PvP mode, it'll be peak.
aaaaaaaaaaaa
I feel the game is at least 7 and i get him wanting easier grind but they kinda wont make money at all then i imagine
fair
The company ain't reimburse him😅
Same website calling Concord will replacing Overwatch as the best hero shooter. XD
tisk tisk
theres not alot of customization and its kinda confusing at first but this game is fun i dont care about the repetitiveness i like it Its my first game that I've played like this, well i tried destiny but i didn't like it and for the voice lines or whatever its better to watch it/hear it in Korean its original language and the bosses are whatever I'd say up until half way through the story is when it gets annoying
This dosn't even compare to warframes drop rates they are so much better than First descendants but for me thats part of the fun till I get bored and stop playing. Had to edit the drop rates are abyssmal compared to other games but at least they don't have loot boxes so there are better chances of you getting stuff but it is what it is work for what you want.
Elly you got a great view of this game and I am a console player and think this game is awesome! (I can’t play PC I’m a aircraft mechanic so my fingers are not the best for PC)
♥
Drop rate is random bs.. I've spent days trying to get ult bunny.. still trying
:(
@@EllyRUclips still trying 🥱🥴
He's mad because they refused to do Dei and ESG they refused to make their characters ugly they didn't bend the knee I play this game and it's extremely fun
I got freyna in 1 hour got all of her pieces but I do agree 16 hours is a little much now I'm working on valby
Broo, an ability on 6 is crazy
I use an MMO mouse okay!
Well even if it’s free why can’t it just be the skin for it to feel like you only payed for the game. I don’t like that you can pay for it. Doesn’t make you feel like you earned it.
A lot of people don’t know what a good game is. There is no consistency with peoples opinions at all. Which is completely fine, but then reviews just become meaningless. I don’t think this game is excellent but def in the 7.5-8 range. So many added points for being one of the few devs who act on constructive criticism. Everything is earn-able, it’s a little clunky, but all in all fun to play. Clearly all things you can tell from the countless hours people have put in. I played Destiny 1 day 1. Same energy is not being kept
true
Bro took 30 hour for freyna? She has 4 20% components what did he do?
IGN doesnt know shit anymore or maybe they nvr did, a game could be game of the year and IGN will say its the biggest piece of shit game.
Wouldn't say TFD is a good game but it has some good tgings in it but equally have just as much bad in it as well
Fair enough
Genshin impact is what they relate it too?? It’s a hero looter shooter with a crafting system, what’s so hard to understand.
lol
You got something against us console players hmm? 😢
no no, I want to marry one
@@EllyRUclips Understandable have nice day.
@@EllyRUclips really?
dont they need special attention and alot of help?
sounds really exhausting
@@cptnhero6116 :P
I watched this review, and yeah, he does make some good points but there are times he flat out lies about the game. As far as the story, a lot of people say it's bad, but it's like they never bothered to watch the story of any other game in this genre. They are all bad. This story isn't any worse that Destiny or Warframe or Genshin and all its clones. "Humanity hangs in the balance, it's up to you to save us all." There's only so many places you can go with that story. Look at the movies and tv shows, there are mostly rehashed ideas that someone else had in the 70's or earlier.
The typical “I’m using an essay review format, bashes it at the starts and then says that it has some positives just for the sake of it, definitely pissed off by the games existence XD
And then they gave almost every COD games 7+ scores. It's pathetic how obvious they are paid up for reviews.
let em know!
Who let him COOK ?!
Looks like Nexon didnt pay them for a review..thats why i dont click in their videos.
hehehe
1:29 I'm catching strays
aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa ♥
guy complains about repetitiveness than praises destiny, complains about timers then praise warframe.. I cant take this guy seriously.
I get its not for everyone, but knocking down one game for the same thing the games you are praising do....
Korean dub is very good. I don't know how bad English dub is
For most characters it's range from good enough to great.
Only character that made me cringe sometimes was Jeremy, but that was on purpose and tbh he made me chuckle occasionally
7/10 game need some fixing but has alot of potential
11:40 i crafted 4 classes in 10 hours
