I think you're looking at this exclusively from a Destiny player's perspective. Warframe doesn't have endgame systems like a raid and it has been living for a long time with its repeatable missions etc. This game is waaaay more like Warframe than Destiny. I believe the biggest thing putting this game in danger is microtransactions but it seems they are taking the Warframe path which works. Regular content drops would be next but they have confirmed the rest of the year with a decent amount of content. Hopefully its not just really small drops but maybe Warframe level drops at least.
They're somewhat following Warframe's monetization. The lack of trading will be something people may say isn't a big deal, but it really takes a massive strain off of paying. Barely any, if any, other looter shooters have featured that and it baffles me why they haven't. EDIT: Saw they are working on a trading system, leaving my comment as is though to acknowledge the unintentional ignorance. All good.
The developer's history is what scares me more than anything. Unlike DE they don't have a great track record supporting their games, are heavy pay to win, and shut down servers as soon as they feel like they've made enough profit. Movement in this game also felt nothing close to Warframe's smoothness and flow.
@@x-invincible-z It actually wouldn't, but...Destiny players are insistent on parroting everything Bungie says, so...I don't blame you for taking that stance.

They have mentioned in the roadmap that there are mini dungeons (what we have seen) and in October will be the release of the first 'mega dungeon' which I am guessing it like a raid Same as in warframe, modules have affinities. If a slot on your weapon/descendant has the same affinity putting the module in that slot will cost half the usual capacity of placing it in a non affinity slot. Putting one into a slot thats of a different affinity doubles the capacity cost Any and all attributes on a weapon can be rerolled if you dont like them. You dont have to refarm a new ultimate weapon if the one you get has crap attributes, you just reroll them
Not affinities, Polarities. Which I think is generally bad for build crafting. Forcing an item to play with 1 build and limit additional builds based on how many polarities you have at once. Say you have 8 slots, one build has 6Vs and another build has 5 Dashes, You quite literally are harming yourself making 1 good build because youve now doubled the cost for another mod in the other build. So unless its separate, its a bad system and will cause frustration.
The fuck are you on about? What strawman? And why do you assume I think Destiny has good build crafting...spoiler, I don't. My gripe is with polarities as a system. @@sc5the
@@sc5the Also learn what a strawman is. In no way did I argue against an argument let alone take one from you and misrepresent it. Miss me with that mis-understanding of the most well known fallacy.
from what i remember playing the betas, this game also has an account level system, based on total mastery of gear, so just like warframe maxing out base and prime (ultimate) give separate xp towards that account system, its natural to get the prime and forget the base, but you max both so you can maximize your gain in account systems
Does that go for weapons as well? Raising Mastery in Warframe tends to be a bit more predictable, as loot isn't showering down like it is in this game. I'm just curious if I'll need to save and level, say...every archetype of weaponry in order to get all the account mastery here. Wouldn't mind doing that, just wanted to know.
@@RedShadowOfSaturn in this game there are set weapons, lets say you get a smg called "scorpion", using one scorpion builds proficiency, this stat carries over to all of the scorpions you get from there
First Descendant already has far more fleshed out systems and endgame than Anthem or Outriders ever did though. I don't think this game is going to be mega popular but it should be a solid game with a steady player base unless they really fuck it up. The betas were fun.
@@snowdrifter6187 TBF to outriders, it was never going to be a live service game, the devs explicitly stated that fact well before it's release. it was meant to be a one and done with a DLC after the fact if it did well. (which it got)
If the ultimate versions of characters are similar to primes in Warframe then they’ll just have small bumps in base stats and an upgraded look. I’ve played everything in Warframe and realistically there is not much difference between the base version and the prime. Investment into the character is similar and their performance is too. As long as the method of obtaining descendants is fair and not greedy it should be fine. First Descendant is much more Warframe than Destiny imo. You’re inhabiting a character, 3rd person, free to play, and with modding for characters and weapons. If the devs are patient and listen to their core community similar to DE at Warframe…then the game has potential.
My biggest problem with primes in warframe is despite being similar it made normal varients feel disapointing and not worth grinding. If the primes not out yet ill just wit instead of fetting the regular since it feels like a waste of time.
@SamNo27 There's a reason they do that, though. For one thing, "if the Prime isn't our yet, i just wait" is a bad tactic, especially as the last batch of new Frames have been devastatingly good, and they're years away from getting Primes. The idea is that every base Frame is viable as they are, and Primes aren't necessary. Think of them like the shinies from Destiny Onslaught during ITL. They look better and it's nice to have a little extra (in the form of stats), but they're in no way required. Every Frame can handle just about every form of content if built well with the options available. Primes component blueprints being tradeable also plugs into making monetization better. It means friends/clans can help each other get new gear faster (by both farming OR trade, however players want). It's been 11 years for DE. They have that mastered for a reason.
@@SamNo27 That's fine, it's a very "play your way" type game. I'm mostly pointing out that, years ago for example, Orokin Reactors for Frames were hard to come by. So investing one in a new base Frame would potentially be a waste if you happen to get a Prime you'd rather invest in. Nowadays, Reactors are pretty easy to get from several sources. But that's a personal choice. If you'd rather wait, then wait. We'll have to see how much better Ultimates are here than normal Descendants. Since they can't be traded for or acquired easier, it'll be interesting to see how that factors into both monetization and gameplay.
The ultimate weapon portion you commented on. That end-game boss has a phase that can be cancelled early if you use a certain ultimate weapon to interrupt it. Its not required to defeat the boss it just makes it easier
@@blackyvertigoI'll agree with you on that. Anthem nailed the movement and primer/detonator systems, but everything around those things dropped the ball so hard it registered in the Richter scale.
11:54 they're 100% going the Warframe route with the modules The mods in Warframe work the same way, if you match the polarity of the mod with the polarity on the mod slot, then it discounts the space it costs from the overall capacity Yea Warframe players will be very familiar with this system
And will come to understand that polarities (If implemented in the same way) are bad for buildcrafting and should be a generic slot upgrade instead of a specific class upgrade.
I don’t understand why people constantly compare third person games to Destiny. I’m sure there’s some things it does similarly, but the core gameplay experience is completely different. It looks like a fun game and because it’s free I’m absolutely going to try it out, but I know beforehand that I won’t like it more than Destiny purely because it’s third person.
that's just how people who play Destiny are they are like o this game is a destiny and this game cross when the only thing it has in common is there looter shooters or have a class system in it, to be honest i think destiny players need to learn that not all the looter shooters are destiny not all will have the same crap as destiny
@0:01 Re: Hype. The only reason I enjoyed Cyberpunk 2077 at launch (on PC) was because I didn't have a scrap of hype for it, it just looked interesting. Keep your expectations low, you'll never be disappointed.
Build battles for this game would be hilariously fun Im so down for that EDIT: Also so in the Beta they did have giant "Raid like Bosses" you can defeat however they were just in a "giant grey room" much like you showed at the end of the video (which is meh af,kinda lazy imo cause it was like that in Beta, and seems to still be that way, just a Giant Boss in a Grey Room lmao but maybe not we shall see tomorrow) But I think they need to add full on Raids like with fully designed Levels/Rooms and Mechanics leading up to Encounters (like Destiny , since Warframe DOES NOT HAVE THIS, that could be HUGE for this game) They have been listening to playerbase (somewhat) lets hope they add Raids in the future much like Destiny! Lets ask them to and lets see what they do!
Someone, PLEASE show cross the video they made that explicitly talked about their endgame plans. He kept bringing it up, and i wanted to yell through this video that they already discussed it prior!
Destiny players after paying $100 for an expansion + season pass, $20 for the dungeon pass, and another $100 for previous expansions so you can actually get all the games content: “Erm Nexon sometimes hides content behind a paywall, be weary gamers!”
I think a lot of its ability to have staying power is to capture some of Warframe’s magic. They will have to do regular good updates. Since it is free to play people are more likely to drop it because it cost nothing to buy
I didn't really hear about this game until the RUclips ads began to pop up about it. Will give it a fair shake when it drops on Steam, as more games in the PvE Looter Shooter space like Destiny and Borderlands is good for the genre (if it's done well)
@@Subsistence69 played both beta and both where ass you can do everything in the game in warframe but better 🤣🤣 100x more customization 100x movement 100x better building and crafting 100x better in general this game is litterally a knock off of warframe but worse in every way 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
This game isn't replacing Destiny 2 for me, it's replacing the Division 2. Ubisoft had their chance, for more than five years and blew it. I will gladly play and enjoy both, I'm pleased games are improving. I was thinking gaming was dying.
how can you say something you've never played is going to replace something else lol You have NO idea how this game will turn out. It might straight up not be playable on your computer. It might require P2W so abusive that you simply cannot afford to pay. It might have absolutely 0 content, like you'll only do the exact same mission a billion times over with 0 variation in mission design. There's so much that can go wrong to be able to say this will replace anything. A lot of these shooter type games come out. They all fail. Every single one. Destiny and Warframe are the only ones still around long-term out of tens, if not hundreds, that tried. 2 games. Even helldivers 2 which had amazing success at launch has completely killed itself in under 6 months because of Sony, even a super successful launch does not mean the game is sustainable long term. What you've said is just braindead
So much of this is just directly lifted from Warframe lol. Mod(ules), mod slot polarity, Mastery Rank, cracking 'relics' for the parts to build the ultimate (prime) versions of the weapons and descendants, etc, etc.
Lets be honest here: nobody thinks this is a destiny killer. It needs to earn its stripes. But it has the most potential of any launch in years and im here for it. We need more games in the Destiny realm.
If there's no PvP I don't play. Your first point is so fucking relevant. It also lowkey reminds me of The Division a bit, and I can't wait for The Division Heartland or TD3. If anyone whos readindg this comment finds out if there will be PvP please reply. Thanks.
What worries me is that they are gonna make us rely on ultimate equipment to beat this game or to even enjoy the game which they'll end up adding microtransactions for these said ultimate equipments.
I had so much fun in the last beta, I cant wait to play the full game. Me and the homie made it our mission to finish every hard mode boss before it ended and we just barely edged it out 😂
game looks okay... the big problem with it that I see (other than microtransactions, like others said) is that it won't have basically any sort of story and it won't have actual hard endgame content. Warframe suffered from the same problems at launch, and it still doesn't really have endgame content, except for one new weekly mission that's super difficult.
Endgame is activities that have a scaling difficulty getting infinitely harder but drops better rewards as you progress. They are very much samey non scripted activities similar to Onslaught. Alternately you can run boss missions using earned boss keys where you have to kill large scale bosses with multiple stages. Both of these activities are instanced to your party.
This game steps more into the domain of warframe but i feel like it wont be a solid competitor since one of the major factors i see when i play warframe is its just so optimized that even pretty old hardware can play it, while this game is pretty demanding.
its a game that took all the best parts of other looter shooters: destiny, warframe, the division 2. and amped up those features. lets just hope there is a decent end game.
Taking the best elements of existing games doesn't mean you'll have a good game. That almost never works. The best games are those who innovated and added their own flair to stand out from the rest. Copy pasting existing gameplay mechanics and enhancing them just makes the game feel terribly bland, like you've played it before and not in a good way.
it would be interesting that the ultimate "heros" don't get an ultimate weapon and it is more based off there abilities like turning into water or just running lol. but then give the ultimate weapons to the legendary heroes you know so it gives them some range and maybe some build potential. where you know that would be kinda like exotics where there really good at one thing.
So basically all that's missing is to be able to combine your fire team and fight as Voltron. I'll take the missiles you control the power and buffs and John will slice him up with the very large mini guns. And we'll all swing our arms together in the end to slice them apart.
Bunny is the fast one from Anthem, so much reminds me of Anthem. God, now I miss the beautiful world and movement of Anthem. Happy to try this out and maybe have a replacement :)
Not sure if any mentioned this below, but there will be 6 man content and high lvl difficulty dungeons where communication are and will be key. Also high lvl bosses require navigation through mechanics and you will need to be able to communicate. weapon drops with diffrent attributes, they can be upgraded, but you also change perks on weapons at the weapon bench
That will be something I avoid like the plague. Most gamers are absolute degenerates that I'd rather have nothing to do with. They are going to reverse that decision, once they realize that is the reason that D2 has 10% player retention. P2P games don't do that, because nobody is going to pay to play a game that is a glorified tutorial.
He's talking destiny having raids as peak end game content but the reality of it all, only 3% of the playerbase did raids. I love watching destiny players get overwhelmed when they see builds that are more than just 2 exotics
This is still a Nexon game. For anyone not familiar they absolutely LOVE their cash shops and monetization. So much so they got sued in 2018 over deceptive microtransactions. Nexon games aren't known for being fun, they're just fun enough to make you want to spend money
Behind Cross’s head it says “Mission attempts available: 5. This is a big red flag for me, i don’t like being told i can’t play anymore after a while, unless i pay up probably.
Id love to have competition for warframe and for those who dont agree, competition is always a good thing especially to prevent stagnation. Now the success of the game has to come first and we as players have to be wary of how they handle micro transactions too. Personally im super down to try it out but thread lightly.
For those of us who played Warframe from the start and know how rough that was, I personally say this is in a far better state at beta than Warframe was at launch. Warframe today is a totally different beast than it once was at the start. First Descendant has the foundation set. Just needs to continue to to improve from here as Warframe did. Btw: this is not a Warframe killer. Its a game that can rurn into a great competitor. We all win. Destiny? Its been dead to me for years lol.
Most of them that I did in this game were that way, yeah, what I played of it before very much felt like "What if Warframe but only the open world stuff that most of the player base isn't super hot on doing 24/7." Supposedly they added some new mission types, dungeons with modifiers, etc. Which sounds okay, but I don't consider "modifiers" to be enough variety.
That was one of the weak points for me when I played the beta was the open world missions. I read in some dev notes last year that they were gonna be beefing up that experience because of the player feedback so 🤞
Funny thing is we've heard cross talk about warframe but I don't think we've ever seen him play it. He even brings it up that first descendant is a combination of destiny and warframe. Two games that have been known to be compared with one another ever sense destiny came out.
Quick note about the "why would I ever use a non-ultimate" argument: Warframe does this with Primes. There's not a huge difference between them in warframe tho so idk how theyre going to balance it
This game is much more like a Warframe mixed with Anthem than a Destiny, I found out about its launch literally today lol it's worth checking it out with my squad, especially since it's free
I don't think anyone gives a single fuck about that and just use it as an excuse to not want to try a game. Just say it doesn't interest you. You don't need a lame reason
They spent so much time focusing on strategy and builds but yet left out feel of gameplay and immersion. This may be a very fun and addictive game, but can we fall in love with it?
Every Descendant also had their own themes with ambient, low- and high-action variations (Valby's was great), I don't know if Warframe had this sort of music system.
There's nothing that can kill a game but the devs. A new game that comes might be just like a game that already exists, but it's new, people that have been playing a game for years won't just drop it cuz a game that's kinda like it came out. Most of us will try the game forsure but let's be real if you been playing a game for years you will always go back to it.

Say you have 8 slots, one build has 6Vs and another build has 5 Dashes, You quite literally are harming yourself making 1 good build because youve now doubled the cost for another mod in the other build. So unless its separate, its a bad system and will cause frustration.
@@scotttimbrell8632bro do you know how many builds in destiny are focused around a single exotic? miss me with that straw man
The fuck are you on about? What strawman? And why do you assume I think Destiny has good build crafting...spoiler, I don't.
My gripe is with polarities as a system. @@sc5the
@@sc5the Also learn what a strawman is. In no way did I argue against an argument let alone take one from you and misrepresent it. Miss me with that mis-understanding of the most well known fallacy.
@@scotttimbrell8632 not reading any of that + destiny died
from what i remember playing the betas, this game also has an account level system, based on total mastery of gear, so just like warframe maxing out base and prime (ultimate) give separate xp towards that account system, its natural to get the prime and forget the base, but you max both so you can maximize your gain in account systems
Does that go for weapons as well? Raising Mastery in Warframe tends to be a bit more predictable, as loot isn't showering down like it is in this game. I'm just curious if I'll need to save and level, say...every archetype of weaponry in order to get all the account mastery here. Wouldn't mind doing that, just wanted to know.
@@RedShadowOfSaturn in this game there are set weapons, lets say you get a smg called "scorpion", using one scorpion builds proficiency, this stat carries over to all of the scorpions you get from there
Please note this is my experience in the crossplay beta things may have changed
I remember i was just as excited for a release as Anthem. I'm just excited and terrified now.
Anthem, outriders, etc makes me sad they got dropped so fast.
Good thing the barrier entry for this is free, so your dead should be better quelled if it does fail.
First Descendant already has far more fleshed out systems and endgame than Anthem or Outriders ever did though. I don't think this game is going to be mega popular but it should be a solid game with a steady player base unless they really fuck it up. The betas were fun.
This looks like they took some of the anthem mechanics lol
@@snowdrifter6187 TBF to outriders, it was never going to be a live service game, the devs explicitly stated that fact well before it's release.
it was meant to be a one and done with a DLC after the fact if it did well. (which it got)
If the ultimate versions of characters are similar to primes in Warframe then they’ll just have small bumps in base stats and an upgraded look. I’ve played everything in Warframe and realistically there is not much difference between the base version and the prime. Investment into the character is similar and their performance is too. As long as the method of obtaining descendants is fair and not greedy it should be fine. First Descendant is much more Warframe than Destiny imo. You’re inhabiting a character, 3rd person, free to play, and with modding for characters and weapons. If the devs are patient and listen to their core community similar to DE at Warframe…then the game has potential.
My biggest problem with primes in warframe is despite being similar it made normal varients feel disapointing and not worth grinding. If the primes not out yet ill just wit instead of fetting the regular since it feels like a waste of time.
@@SamNo27Yup the issues that one destiny content creator don't use and wank Warframe high
@SamNo27 There's a reason they do that, though. For one thing, "if the Prime isn't our yet, i just wait" is a bad tactic, especially as the last batch of new Frames have been devastatingly good, and they're years away from getting Primes. The idea is that every base Frame is viable as they are, and Primes aren't necessary. Think of them like the shinies from Destiny Onslaught during ITL. They look better and it's nice to have a little extra (in the form of stats), but they're in no way required. Every Frame can handle just about every form of content if built well with the options available.
Primes component blueprints being tradeable also plugs into making monetization better. It means friends/clans can help each other get new gear faster (by both farming OR trade, however players want).
It's been 11 years for DE. They have that mastered for a reason.
@@RedShadowOfSaturn i agree completely im just willing wait. I have plenty of frames that are op for pretty much all content already.
@@SamNo27 That's fine, it's a very "play your way" type game. I'm mostly pointing out that, years ago for example, Orokin Reactors for Frames were hard to come by. So investing one in a new base Frame would potentially be a waste if you happen to get a Prime you'd rather invest in. Nowadays, Reactors are pretty easy to get from several sources. But that's a personal choice.
If you'd rather wait, then wait. We'll have to see how much better Ultimates are here than normal Descendants. Since they can't be traded for or acquired easier, it'll be interesting to see how that factors into both monetization and gameplay.
It’s a wareframe outriders combo and I’m here for it
Outriders was fantastic and underrated in my opinion.
@@againstalladsgames it was really fun just the coop not working for so long after launch ruined a lot of hype
Not for long
@@againstalladsgames dude i loved that game, then the big worldlsayer update came and i loved that too, just not enough endgame
@@againstalladsgamesI thought Outriders was awful.
The ultimate weapon portion you commented on. That end-game boss has a phase that can be cancelled early if you use a certain ultimate weapon to interrupt it. Its not required to defeat the boss it just makes it easier
It looks like Anthem meets Outriders. As we know, those were both absolute pinnacles of stability in the gaming world!
Almost a copy and paste of warframe 😂
Yeah sure buddy
To be fair anthems combat loop was and in my opinion still is one of the best. It faltered due to lack of content and support
@@blackyvertigoI'll agree with you on that. Anthem nailed the movement and primer/detonator systems, but everything around those things dropped the ball so hard it registered in the Richter scale.
@@yungsinnxr5397 copy and paste of warframe go cry yourself to sleep
fyi to those who aren’t familiar with Nexon games. They are no strangers to paywalling actual power and progression in a lot of their games.
It's crazy that Warframe now has competition which is great but a lot here will say Destiny knowing it's not the same.
"competitor"
“Competitor” 😂😂😂
Competition? 😂😂 I want whatever you're huffin.
11:54 they're 100% going the Warframe route with the modules
The mods in Warframe work the same way, if you match the polarity of the mod with the polarity on the mod slot, then it discounts the space it costs from the overall capacity
Yea Warframe players will be very familiar with this system
And will come to understand that polarities (If implemented in the same way) are bad for buildcrafting and should be a generic slot upgrade instead of a specific class upgrade.
I’m dropping D2 for awhile for this. I don’t care what the reviews say.
Dropping D2 or taking a break?
Good luck
Cope
Good bro, I love that game too but they’ve really been running it into the ground. Time to move on 😭😢
Same here, the ending for final shape was more than enough for me and satisfied me
I don’t understand why people constantly compare third person games to Destiny. I’m sure there’s some things it does similarly, but the core gameplay experience is completely different.
It looks like a fun game and because it’s free I’m absolutely going to try it out, but I know beforehand that I won’t like it more than Destiny purely because it’s third person.
that's just how people who play Destiny are they are like o this game is a destiny and this game cross when the only thing it has in common is there looter shooters or have a class system in it, to be honest i think destiny players need to learn that not all the looter shooters are destiny not all will have the same crap as destiny
@@Terudy529 TBF I dont even think Warframe is technically a looter shooter.
Destiny players dont understand that not everyone is addicted to Destiny
@0:01 Re: Hype. The only reason I enjoyed Cyberpunk 2077 at launch (on PC) was because I didn't have a scrap of hype for it, it just looked interesting. Keep your expectations low, you'll never be disappointed.
Played the Beta. Most fun i had with a game in YEARS. Ready to grind it tomorrow
this is Anthem re-made
Build battles for this game would be hilariously fun
Im so down for that
EDIT: Also so in the Beta they did have giant "Raid like Bosses" you can defeat however they were just in a "giant grey room" much like you showed at the end of the video (which is meh af,kinda lazy imo cause it was like that in Beta, and seems to still be that way, just a Giant Boss in a Grey Room lmao but maybe not we shall see tomorrow)
But I think they need to add full on Raids like with fully designed Levels/Rooms and Mechanics leading up to Encounters (like Destiny , since Warframe DOES NOT HAVE THIS, that could be HUGE for this game)
They have been listening to playerbase (somewhat) lets hope they add Raids in the future much like Destiny! Lets ask them to and lets see what they do!
Warframe used to have raids, but were poorly implemented and removed and are yet to make a come back. But hopefully will soon.
Someone, PLEASE show cross the video they made that explicitly talked about their endgame plans. He kept bringing it up, and i wanted to yell through this video that they already discussed it prior!
Destiny players after paying $100 for an expansion + season pass, $20 for the dungeon pass, and another $100 for previous expansions so you can actually get all the games content: “Erm Nexon sometimes hides content behind a paywall, be weary gamers!”
I think a lot of its ability to have staying power is to capture some of Warframe’s magic. They will have to do regular good updates. Since it is free to play people are more likely to drop it because it cost nothing to buy
My body is ready
every class has a grappling hook so yea it’s gonna be good
*cries in Lightfall*
Hilariously, i got an ad for The First Descendant before watching this video
I didn't really hear about this game until the RUclips ads began to pop up about it. Will give it a fair shake when it drops on Steam, as more games in the PvE Looter Shooter space like Destiny and Borderlands is good for the genre (if it's done well)
The thing holding these games back from killing destiny is down to one thing. They're not FPS.
That's subjective to you though
exactly
Destiny also isn't really a F2P game, so people stick around or come back because of the money and time spent already.
I hate FPS one of the reasons I dont play destiny
Third person is better for looters shooters tho
Im not touching d2 tomorrow. Ive waited for 2 years for this. Im 100% in
3:39 this dude reminds me of Protea from Warframe with that turret and ammo resupply
I have high hopes for this as they had so much feed back and positivity they could do great things
I have history with Nexon and based off that alone I know to be worried. That doesn't mean I won't be there day 1 though
Isn't Nexon also the Blue Archive guys ?
idk im gonna give this game a week and wait on what the people will say. dont know how this game will keep up
It's literally free.. why not play it and make your own mind up.
Just because something is free, doesn't mean I have to try it out. Not everything that is free makes it good@@CringeConsultant
yh im waiting a week even tho I played the beta before 😭
I watched a video about it half a year ago, I thought it was going to be shit. I tried it, I played for 9 hours the first day... I really like it
@3:24 That dodge animation is not what I was expecting.
Not a fan of games like these but something about it makes me wanna play it.
Just go play warframe 😂
@@shadowcruzzI tried warframe and thought it was ass. This game is hella fun, Ive been waiting for release since the last beta
@@Subsistence69 played both beta and both where ass you can do everything in the game in warframe but better 🤣🤣 100x more customization 100x movement 100x better building and crafting 100x better in general this game is litterally a knock off of warframe but worse in every way 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
@@Subsistence69 you probably also lack brain function to actually understand it so gotta go for the Chinese knock off
@@shadowcruzz play it all you want brother 😂 all Im saying is some people prefer this game 🤷🏻♂️
This game isn't replacing Destiny 2 for me, it's replacing the Division 2. Ubisoft had their chance, for more than five years and blew it. I will gladly play and enjoy both, I'm pleased games are improving. I was thinking gaming was dying.
how can you say something you've never played is going to replace something else lol
You have NO idea how this game will turn out. It might straight up not be playable on your computer. It might require P2W so abusive that you simply cannot afford to pay. It might have absolutely 0 content, like you'll only do the exact same mission a billion times over with 0 variation in mission design. There's so much that can go wrong to be able to say this will replace anything.
A lot of these shooter type games come out. They all fail. Every single one. Destiny and Warframe are the only ones still around long-term out of tens, if not hundreds, that tried. 2 games. Even helldivers 2 which had amazing success at launch has completely killed itself in under 6 months because of Sony, even a super successful launch does not mean the game is sustainable long term.
What you've said is just braindead
one of the main problems for me is these other destiny like games aren’t fps
So much of this is just directly lifted from Warframe lol. Mod(ules), mod slot polarity, Mastery Rank, cracking 'relics' for the parts to build the ultimate (prime) versions of the weapons and descendants, etc, etc.
it'll be good, not ground breaking but ya
Fingers crossed 🤞
Basically, the same as like in Warframe you have the normal version of the character and then you have the prime version
I loved the beta. I’m really looking forward to this game
Cross resisting the urge to not title this as "DESTINY KILLER"
Lets be honest here: nobody thinks this is a destiny killer. It needs to earn its stripes. But it has the most potential of any launch in years and im here for it. We need more games in the Destiny realm.
Fanboy is why
This game will last for about 2 weeks
Agreed
That’s exactly what I said
Maybe a month at best but we know that’s gonna be fueled by the “we hate destiny but play it every day” type of players
Mmmmm
Depends. Its very similar to warframe, so it might attract that playerbase during warframes constant content droughts
If there's no PvP I don't play. Your first point is so fucking relevant. It also lowkey reminds me of The Division a bit, and I can't wait for The Division Heartland or TD3. If anyone whos readindg this comment finds out if there will be PvP please reply. Thanks.
This game has a lot of people hyped up, hopefully its as good as it looks:)
What worries me is that they are gonna make us rely on ultimate equipment to beat this game or to even enjoy the game which they'll end up adding microtransactions for these said ultimate equipments.
I'll just grind the ultimates out instead of paying. So im not worried.
If its anything like warframe then its a non issue
I am going to establish myself as a lore tuber for this game going forward.
So far, I am intrigued with what it presents to me.
Good luck👍 hope it goes well and you make a name for yourself
Good luck. If I jump on board the First Descendant bandwagon, I’ll check you out.
@@route77productions Thank you so very much.
Should you find yourself trying the game, I will look forward to seeing there.
I had so much fun in the last beta, I cant wait to play the full game. Me and the homie made it our mission to finish every hard mode boss before it ended and we just barely edged it out 😂
I'll try it, but im not holding my breath. It'd be cool for WF to have some real competition.
Nope.
Idk.
Gonna have no players in 2 months like every other “destiny killer”
game looks okay... the big problem with it that I see (other than microtransactions, like others said) is that it won't have basically any sort of story and it won't have actual hard endgame content. Warframe suffered from the same problems at launch, and it still doesn't really have endgame content, except for one new weekly mission that's super difficult.
If you go into every new game with low expectations, you’ll never be disappointed. Lol
Endgame is activities that have a scaling difficulty getting infinitely harder but drops better rewards as you progress. They are very much samey non scripted activities similar to Onslaught. Alternately you can run boss missions using earned boss keys where you have to kill large scale bosses with multiple stages. Both of these activities are instanced to your party.
This game steps more into the domain of warframe but i feel like it wont be a solid competitor since one of the major factors i see when i play warframe is its just so optimized that even pretty old hardware can play it, while this game is pretty demanding.
it will likely get better, its improved a ton since beta
Reminds me of Anthem before ea stepped on and told them they wanted the characters to fly.
its a game that took all the best parts of other looter shooters: destiny, warframe, the division 2. and amped up those features. lets just hope there is a decent end game.
No raids is to bad but I like mmo aspects of d2 and ik alotta ppl don't
Taking the best elements of existing games doesn't mean you'll have a good game. That almost never works. The best games are those who innovated and added their own flair to stand out from the rest. Copy pasting existing gameplay mechanics and enhancing them just makes the game feel terribly bland, like you've played it before and not in a good way.
it would be interesting that the ultimate "heros" don't get an ultimate weapon and it is more based off there abilities like turning into water or just running lol. but then give the ultimate weapons to the legendary heroes you know so it gives them some range and maybe some build potential. where you know that would be kinda like exotics where there really good at one thing.
So basically all that's missing is to be able to combine your fire team and fight as Voltron. I'll take the missiles you control the power and buffs and John will slice him up with the very large mini guns. And we'll all swing our arms together in the end to slice them apart.
Bunny is the fast one from Anthem, so much reminds me of Anthem. God, now I miss the beautiful world and movement of Anthem. Happy to try this out and maybe have a replacement :)
3:22 "This guy just explodes everywhere"- Cross 2024
Not sure if any mentioned this below, but there will be 6 man content and high lvl difficulty dungeons where communication are and will be key. Also high lvl bosses require navigation through mechanics and you will need to be able to communicate. weapon drops with diffrent attributes, they can be upgraded, but you also change perks on weapons at the weapon bench
That will be something I avoid like the plague. Most gamers are absolute degenerates that I'd rather have nothing to do with. They are going to reverse that decision, once they realize that is the reason that D2 has 10% player retention. P2P games don't do that, because nobody is going to pay to play a game that is a glorified tutorial.
He's talking destiny having raids as peak end game content but the reality of it all, only 3% of the playerbase did raids. I love watching destiny players get overwhelmed when they see builds that are more than just 2 exotics
This is still a Nexon game. For anyone not familiar they absolutely LOVE their cash shops and monetization. So much so they got sued in 2018 over deceptive microtransactions. Nexon games aren't known for being fun, they're just fun enough to make you want to spend money
12:47 Oh man, I can't wait to slot that Tingling Singularity Reactor in my mod slot.
I wouldn’t say I’m just overwhelmed or underwhelmed just whelmed by the gameplay they showed
Behind Cross’s head it says “Mission attempts available: 5.
This is a big red flag for me, i don’t like being told i can’t play anymore after a while, unless i pay up probably.
Id love to have competition for warframe and for those who dont agree, competition is always a good thing especially to prevent stagnation. Now the success of the game has to come first and we as players have to be wary of how they handle micro transactions too. Personally im super down to try it out but thread lightly.
This looks like exactly what anthem needed to still be alive today.
For those of us who played Warframe from the start and know how rough that was, I personally say this is in a far better state at beta than Warframe was at launch. Warframe today is a totally different beast than it once was at the start. First Descendant has the foundation set. Just needs to continue to to improve from here as Warframe did. Btw: this is not a Warframe killer. Its a game that can rurn into a great competitor. We all win. Destiny? Its been dead to me for years lol.
Am I the only one that played the MSQ and all the quests where kill this wave of ads, capture this point the entire time.
Most of them that I did in this game were that way, yeah, what I played of it before very much felt like "What if Warframe but only the open world stuff that most of the player base isn't super hot on doing 24/7."
Supposedly they added some new mission types, dungeons with modifiers, etc. Which sounds okay, but I don't consider "modifiers" to be enough variety.
@RedShadowOfSaturn I'll check out some streams and videos when it comes out, if I see some changes and stuff I'll try it out
That was one of the weak points for me when I played the beta was the open world missions. I read in some dev notes last year that they were gonna be beefing up that experience because of the player feedback so 🤞
JULY 7TH IS NATIONAL GAMBIT DAY
SPREAD THE WORD
Looks like a mix of Outriders, Anthem, Warframe and Immortals of Aveum
Funny thing is we've heard cross talk about warframe but I don't think we've ever seen him play it. He even brings it up that first descendant is a combination of destiny and warframe. Two games that have been known to be compared with one another ever sense destiny came out.
Quick note about the "why would I ever use a non-ultimate" argument: Warframe does this with Primes. There's not a huge difference between them in warframe tho so idk how theyre going to balance it
They literally looked at the closed Anthem and Outriders and... did the same! Fantastic! So what's the plan? To close this game like others?))
Cross got a chubby when he figured out there is a grind!!😅😮😊
I saw a road map and season 2 they plan to add something called a "mega dungeon" idk if thats gonna be a raid but hopefully its dope
This game is much more like a Warframe mixed with Anthem than a Destiny, I found out about its launch literally today lol it's worth checking it out with my squad, especially since it's free
Quite hype for the game but I hope for the love of everything holy and sacred that the company behind it don't fuck it up.
This game reminds me of Anthem fr. Not in failures but in the gameplay.
I’ve been playing it this morning. It doesn’t wow me by any means but it’s been fun so far from what I’ve played.
Bunny was fun during the beta last year
Third person games are so hard to get behind. I feel like the immersion isn’t the same
I feel the other way it's way more imersive for me
I don't think anyone gives a single fuck about that and just use it as an excuse to not want to try a game. Just say it doesn't interest you. You don't need a lame reason
this guy just explodes everywhere -Azrecross
The game will be lovely. Especially from playing the beta to the pc server tests.
They spent so much time focusing on strategy and builds but yet left out feel of gameplay and immersion. This may be a very fun and addictive game, but can we fall in love with it?
Every Descendant also had their own themes with ambient, low- and high-action variations (Valby's was great), I don't know if Warframe had this sort of music system.
Destiny 2 launched with 7 exotic weapons, the guy who said 30 is smoking crack.
There's nothing that can kill a game but the devs. A new game that comes might be just like a game that already exists, but it's new, people that have been playing a game for years won't just drop it cuz a game that's kinda like it came out. Most of us will try the game forsure but let's be real if you been playing a game for years you will always go back to it.
warframe and genshin had a child
That just sounds like a worse warframe
I dont want this to become another L for us consumers… we’ve been taking L’s recently so I want to be hopeful but cautious
