Hello everyone I hear you! Look at my next video it shows my worry with the publisher... I understand a game can be fun for the sake of a game! that being said If I stop 1 person from spending money on a scam I have done well. Love you all What level are you currently 32 at rabbit 3 bosses down.
its not a cash grab if u find this a cash grab then Warframe is also a cash grab, Getting a warframe u also need to wait if u want if for free, but if u pay for it u get it instantly. people are impatient so that the business model and honestly it is what it is. but buying IS OPTIONAL not needed tbh.
Why would you stop people from spending their money? Bro, I am not committing manslaughter or homicide... if I do like the game, that's my personal choice of what I want to do with it. Right? Everybody has their opinion - I get it, but creating this negative narrative just to prove your point feels off. Even in the description "feel like it's not worth your time" like... who are you to speak in the name of all people? Get a grip or a therapy
Bro lvl 32 isnt even that far in the last normal boss and last 3 hard mode bosses are group only and require people to be a team and not just mindless DPS.
Warframe doesn't manipulate drop rates to try to get you to spend money though. Nexon does and was literally fined by the Korean government for it just recently.
@@zelta68 Not really. Consider if WF didn't have player-to-player trading in its current state. They'd be pretty even, as far as monetization goes. Actually, WF would be worse, since Reactors/Cats as well as Forma are basically mandatory, and only Forma are obtainable on a regular basis. TFD actually has a healthier system for getting similar upgrade mats... if WF didn't have trading. If TFD ever added 60%+ discounts like what WF has, I think the MTX would be viewed similarly. Consider that a single Warframe is priced such that without player trading and login discounts, it would cost a minimum of $20-25 to have enough platinum to buy one. That said, Nexon (we know how *they* are) aren't likely to add discounts to one of their games, so WF will always have a better model in the end. Trading for TFD is supposedly on the way, but we'll have to see *what* exactly can even be traded, and what other limits they'll impose. As for grinding, it's pretty relative. There's people in WF who have had to farm for **weeks** to get Equinox, not to mention the horrific grind for Arcanes, when Flare, Energize, Augmented, as well as several others are just expected for end-game builds.
As a Warframe and Destiny 2 player I honestly don’t mind the grind. I also have developed the patience to wait multiple days to build a single character.
the grind isn’t a problem, the issue is the horrible playerbase that your forced to play with just to complete the game, and the absolute dogshit ui and hud. enough to make you install this joke
Ahhhhhhh gotten lmao. Shit won't take off cause th content is trash. Definitely give other you tubers a bad rep. Doing an actual thorough review of a game with constructive feedback is a million times better than complaining with no solutions. It just sounds like a kid that can't have his way so he wants to ruin it for others. Definitely gen Z vibes lmao. Yall have ruined social media and gaming in general.
The game is great, ofcourse its gunna be a cash grab on the micro transactions, Its a free to play game. You ever played warframe? Kinda similar yet its one of the best looter shooters around. Considering it only just released it plays like a dream wich honestly is breath of fresh air. I understand were your coming from but i think your concerns are a bit misplaced. But good video however try and think more about the positives rather than just the negatives. I feel if you had a bit more balance on the pros and cons this video would have been recieved a bit better. Other than that good video and have a great day my dude. I look forward to seeing more from you. 😊
@b0shica because from what I've played so far has been pretty great lol that's just my opinion. Didn't realise it would be a difficult statement for people to understand. If you think otherwise then that's your opinion, and I respect it.
@@Leeyo90 It's not about opinions here as I was not saying you are right or not. Of course you can have your opinion, but how can you say about something that is great, when these kind of games should be played at least 30 hours to see if get repetitive etc?... You can say you enjoy it, but you cannot say it's great. These are totally 2 different things. You do not know it's great yet, but until now you are enjoying it.
@@b0shicait's a looter shooter, if course it's going to have repetitive elements. Warframe is repetitive and this does the same as Warframe. Destiny 2 is repetitive and it's got a big player base. COD is the biggest repetitive game and has a big following. Fortnite is one of the biggest games and it's just the same thing over and over. Hard to even use repetitive for saying a game can be bad or not
you can completly ignore his pov ... guy starts the video with a lie , 32 hours of gaming ,while his char is around 5 hours old xD another day ,another genZ try to make his own crap youtube channel
Gley - 3 modules take 8 hours each + making her is 16 if you can do maths that's 32 hours. Not really difficult to find out but you will get there bud :D
@@JAKofALLThat’s not 32 hours of gameplay. If you’re gonna be a creator at least try to be honest, I just played for 8 hours and I’m lvl already lvl 14.
@@sinistertales You are completely right. Yet I never stated I played for 32 hours. I mentioned 32 hours it takes to unlock Gley a descendant (pre gather materials). I mention this 3 times in the video if you watched it through. Also Currently 3 bosses in level 42 as bunny and tied down to waiting a full day before unlocking a character due to Mobile time mechanics. Tis Only person I will reply to because there is a lot of type now think later but if you are level 14 then you should know that to unlock a character takes resources that time gate you. Nothing wrong with the game., otherwise I would have stopped but it's something to be wary about hence my recent video. Thank you for the feedback regardless :D
@@JAKofALL 3 modules take 8 hours each, so 8 hours to research the 3 modules together. Then 16 hours to complete her. so thats 24 hours, where are you getting 32 hours from?
Bro never even got to the 2nd boss and complained about the first boss having a tomer when it takes 1minute to kill 😂😂 "give it a fair shot" "32 hours" my ass. Sounds like you play too much games that hold your hand. Terrible review.
I beat the story and I think I might be done with the game. The bullet sponge dps bosses just aren't engaging enough to warrant the grind. I speak only for myself. Some people love to grind for grinds sake and for that I say you will love this game.
its a free to play game and for that its suprisingly fun to just download and play w a friend:). i sadly paid 60 euro for anthem and bought destiny w a dlc pack. the difference between these games is not that big xd
based off the dudes titles, the dude is right lmao. This game artificially intervenes with certain aspects in the game to make them take longer OR you can use real money to "speed it up". By definition, wasting your time. And before you say "WelLll ISn"t EvERy GAmE A WAsTe Of TimEE Then? Duerhrhhh". That's not the point lmao. Another argument is "Well this game is F2P". So you're saying because it's F2P this is how the game should be ? Another terrible argument lol. I also seen Endgame and it looks like the same old boss with so much health and you just shoot at it. That's literally every small boss in the game. Just standing and have a lot of health except this one is just colossus. This game definitely needed another year to cook and a lot better monetization system.
@@rayzem33 that's not the point of my comment in fact you ignored the whole point to get some "gotcha" Love how you're defending this game. And I don't think you understand the extent this game does for you to even try to defend it 💀
Nah, it didn't need another year to cook at all. This is exactly what they want. It's the Gaming equivalent of a Pump N' Dump. We're still in the Pump Phase, but you can be sure Nexon is going to take a giant, steaming Dump on everyone's chest in a couple of months.
Don't pay attention to the haters. They are all in the honeymoon phase. It's overhyped, and people will start to hate it. I liked it alot, now I'm 50+ hours in, and I want all my time and effort back. At least in other grindy games I feel a sense of reward, but in this one you start to realize you get nothing. Everything is work to get a chance at something else, which you have to spend 10 of to get a 2% chance at something else. Such a waste of time. After spending 5 hours trying to get something that had a 50% drop chance, I was done. 😂👎
I started to realize it at around 60 hours. The first 40 hours were basically Story Mode Progression, upgrading gear, mods etc etc. Then you hit early endgame, get a build going and farm for 20 additional hours and realize you got fuck all for those 20 hours and made no additional progression at all. I expect reality to start to kick in a few weeks down the line and a lot of people are just going to drop the game entirely. I could be wrong, but it's pretty easy to see the writing on the wall imo.
Pervy S imps is all who's keeping this 🗑🚮 alive. Cause of oh look how Koreia design women. Lol this game a wannabe OG Xbox Bruteforce game. Its Repetitive. Really Easy. Lacks any depth & substance.
It's nice to have a brute opinion. The game is not awful but I do agree that the game is lacking personality. I really dont like the movements, it feels like your walking inside a simulation, there is no weight or inertia in the character motion. The weapons are underwhelming and not kicking fun in my brain. But overall for a free game it's worth trying for yourself.
As a destiny 2 and fortnite player the grinding is just basic mechanics. Already have 3 characters without paying a single dime and the gunplay is good enough to pay something, but their battlepass need to offer better things. It doesn t compare at all to fortnite with nothing juicy that is worth my wallet. Will probably buy it though because with 30 hours of play I believe this game deserves the 10 dollars that it costs. Hope devs will listen and make more temping passes in the future.
2300h in WF here, and... you're not really wrong. For the benefit of others reading this: Having used WF's parkour for so long, TFD's is actually more fun for me ATM, despite it being just like any other game save for the grapple hook and double jump. The guns have neat designs, but have less interesting mechanical design than WF's. TFD seems to have more interesting and viable mods than WF does. In WF usually a viable build boils down to a small handful of mods + some slight personal variation outside of changes for faction resistances. TFD lacks a real melee system, and the mods that act like WF's stance mods (but are equipped to Descendants) just change animations. The Colossi are somewhat more interesting fights than most of WF's boss fights, but don't compare to Remnant: from the Ashes (which I think is most comparable here, what with both TFD and RftA featuring multi-stage souls-esque bosses, as well as dodge rolls and guns). Ultimately, I'd recommend anyone with a decent internet connection and even a vague interest to try it out, since the game is free and only 36gb, comparable in size to Warframe. Just don't buy anything, the MTX are over the top on price.
@@locozi6788tbh the game just came out and warframe is like what 11 years old And tbh the first few years of warframe (from what I heard and seen from videos) sound actually @$$ like it seem to have only gotta good after 5 years compared to that TFD is good
you can get ultimates for cheaper with a few less goodies (though still expensive), or SLOWLY farm for them. As for your last point... well, thats true of any online game, including the two closest cousins of that one, destiny 2 and Warframe
its not 100. in 100 bundle you get some cosmetics like back attachement, animation, bla bla, and 2 formas and 1 energy activator. that alone cost like 40 $. there are packs with only Ultimate desc, slot and a premium skin for around 50 $. So its cheaper than packs in warframe when they release new Primes. Also it takes only few days to farm ultimate descendant. i have 65 ish H in game and already crafted ultimate glay. now trying to farm for bunny.
$60 for base ulti but yeah if it goes EOS its byebye but the game is no-1 on steam beating out destiny and warframe's all time high and concurrent as of now. They hit the sweet spot that gamers have been looking for, going from this to EOS is going to take a lot of fails because frankly there's little alternative that isn't old.
@@summer7603 they didn't hit any sweet spot, it's at the top because it's WF/Destiny but the characters aren't ugly as sin. Its competitors go out of their way to make everything look ugly. The actual farming and monetization are crazy and insane, and the game doesn't run well. Just to put things into perspective, each Catalyst (forma) requires 1h to 2h of farming to craft(Blueprint and mats), and then 8h of wait time; then, to apply it you have to level your weapon to 40, which takes another 2 hours of defense missions, and to fully mod a single weapon you need at the very least 7 formas if you keep your elemental mod lower level (which is advisable because then you're able to switch it). So you're looking at 12h x 7 for one single weapon boosters are 30%, and there's gear that gives you a bit more exp but it doesn't seem to make such a big difference, let's be really generous and say with a booster and full exp multiplier gear it takes 10h per forma, you're looking at 70h for one single fully modded weapon. And you do definitely need at least one, specific to a character. In the case of legendary weapons they come with 2 slots forma'd, but you are required to craft the weapon 5 times to level its special effect, which probably pushes that into the 100h+ area this is not counting the time it takes to farm Kuiper shards and gold to level your mods to cap I think leveling is satisfying in games, and I'm not against farming, but this is really stupid, and it's only like this because NEXON lets you pay $7 to skip 10 out of 12 of those hours by buying Catalysts. That is a clean $50 for 7 catalysts. They're not even smart enough to sell them in bundles of 3 so people would have 2 left over after each weapon, they're really just dumb and greedy, which should come as a surprise to no one.
I already don't like asian style games, like genshin or DMC, Monster hunter and MGS. So it's already dropping down for me (personaly). Also a character creation with class choice would've won more points for many people than just choosing characters. I can't stand those baby korean faces. Like, idk how to describe it, but for me, it's a big nope. Blair looks cool af on the other hand. Again, it's only personal preferences. Gameplay wise...... Warframe+Destiny. That's it. I know this comparaison pisses some people off, but it litteraly is true. Level design and missions wise... sure, kind of repetitive at some points but meh. I like farming anyways so i don't really care as a Warframe player. Crafting wise... i've seen WAY worse in some other games, so yeah, nothing amazing but not bad neither. Microtransactions............................................ i'll leave it at that. All in all, (I) would give this game a 5.5 outta 10. No the best, but not the worst. I understand why some people love it, but i also understand why some people hate it. And AGAAAAIN, this is only MY view on it. Don't take it personal.
This game has potential to be fun but it is loaded with issues needs massive quality of life updates translation updates and balance changes. The game is overall repetitive uninteresting and lacks diversity in game modes.
I think you video is a waste of time...your review must show both sides of the coin..you showed us only one side...let me clarify with capitals the rest... EVERYTHING CAN BE ACQUIRED THROUGH GAMEPLAY ITS FREE,FUN,AND SOMEONE WROTE "REPETIVE" SO....WARFRAME AND DESTINY 10 YEARS THERE ARE NOT REPETIVE WHILE BUNGIE MILKING THEIR PLAYERBASE... TFD LANCHES 16 DUNGEOS,16 BOSS RAID INTERCEPT, VARIOUS TYPES OF DEFENSE MISSIONS,AND HARD MODE WHICH YOU CAN REPLAY MISSIONS FOR MASTERY IMO IS THE MOST COMPLETE GAME ON LANCH!!! LOVE IT! DO NOT BE A HATER..
do you know during the time the descendant / weapon components craft, YOU CAN TOUCH GRASS AND COME BACK LATER, jeezus shutting your brain off is seemingly easier dont take offense now we all f up once in a while but from the 32h you spent "playing" 26 of those shouldnt be leaving your pc on in the background. oh and idk whilst the main weapon/descendant is crafting for a day or so YOU COULD GO TO WORK and there you have your time worth
"oh look it's a free game with microtransactions for convenience and cosmetics. WASTEOFTIME! CASHGRAB!" You should have started the video with "I don't like looter-shooters but I'm gonna play this anyways". That saves viewer's time.
God damn there are a lot of losers pretending this game isn't a 5 out of 10, the grapple physics alone took the game down two points, melee is terrible and when you get raggdolled it's like the animation was sped up awkwardly.
You have never played any other looter shooter have you? I have played the game for 40 hours. Yes it is not perfect. Yes it can be improved. But is it fun? Yes. Are dev improving things and listening to community better then payed games? YES Can you play the entire game for free? YES Is the game p2w? NO Even if you buy stuff you still need yo grind like everyone else to get a strong build. I like to think of shop category as cosmetic category. Many and MANY games like this have this sort of market system. Riot games sell skins for their free to play game. Heck valorant skins cost so fucking much more then this game does. Don't even get me started on CSGO. Or league of legend £500 skin. Or genshin impact with ridiculous rng system for characters. Yes it is annoying that games have this but they need money to run the game especially life service games. As long as it is not p2w am good.
Dude it's an MMO. The First Descendant has solid MMO RPG elements. I haven't seen an MMO that isn't like that. Bless Unleashed you had to farm stuff with horrifying drop rates, Neverwinter is like that too, Warframe and Destiny 2..
You need to be careful when putting a certain title for your videos, because philosophically speaking, all games are a waste of time. Watching sports is a waste, playing simple card games is a waste. Watching basic TV shows is a waste. See? So in essence, the title of your video is: _"The First Descendant isn't for me."_
My thoughts are there well over 100,000 people playing it right now on steam that being only 20% of the gaming industry mean being 20% of the gaming industry so there are probably at least another 300,000 people playing it on the consul and you know my thoughts are said it’s popular because it’s 2 AM Eastern time and then that many people playing it Thought is that you do not understand this gaming genre or 540 gaming at all the purpose of gaming is to disconnect from life have fun in a fantasy world. We literally don’t go around shooting in our day-to-day life so this is a disconnect from life it’s supposed to be fun. It’s supposed to be a time wait for, and unless you lack, you can simply avoid handing nexon your money
You say the truth. This Game is in every instance a brainless shooter Game. I understand that makes fun first but every human with health brain cant Play IT Long. Only the lost ones does. I have played this Game about 100 hours and i asked me why im doing a Game with No deep or good gameplay. Really every Quest is on a other map the Same and damed easy that every idiot dont need brain. Mainly the character are looks sexy like. Every knows why you see bunny and other Woman character the most the time.
Firstly, calling the game a 'cash grab', when it is literally free and not a single piece of meaningful content is locked behind a paywall? Interesting one there. Next, the primary materials for descendants don't need to be researched through sub-components... most of them can be farmed from dungeons and boss drops in their totality, skipping the sub-components. Also, the comment on the 'timer' for the bosses is a ridiculous take, considering that's a mechanic in most MMO's in some format. If anything, the boss being a 'dps check' makes it more team oriented, due to needing better coordination??? Lastly, why do you have an issue with needing to actually progress and farm in the game to obtain new characters? You can't factor in progressing through the story as hours needed to grind for the character... that's a very odd take considering AGAIN, that form of progression is standard in most MMOs. So many things wrong with these statements and you're just spreading needless negativity for a game that's actually decent, regardless of the publisher. It would be fine if your takes were valid, but it's just purely hating for the sake of it.
@@JAKofALL Except you speak in imperatives throughout the video and even with your clickbait title, hence portraying your statements as if they're factual. Even if we were to consider it just as opinion, they're opinions based on sheer lack of knowledge of this game or the genre in general. If you're going to review games, at least put the effort in to research this shit.
Big bosses really don’t give you loot they give you a resources occasionally a bit of loot by usually Jeffrey star and I don’t know what the fuck a Penske is nor do I value my time playing a game it’s entertainment. I’m doing it for fun relaxation for disconnect from life. I’m not like running a stopwatch or a clock timing to see how much money it’s costing me to play it or how much time I’m wasting on it video games for our time wasterthey do not provide create nothing at nothing way to disconnect kinda like watching a movie on Netflix do you know what a movie is on Netflix right that’s also a waste of time. Do you value your time there? Keep track decide whether the movie was worth two hours of your time it took off I mean, I kind of do because I’ll give it 1000 south but I don’t let it bother me for more than about 2 1/2 seconds.
So there's pay to win and pay for convenience. To complain over having to grind mats, then spend 16 hours researching and than another 16 hours for a grand whooping 32 hours to unlock a character is a bit insane. Not like the game is completely locked and you cant play it while you are reaearching. Than comparing it to $7 to unlock instantly. Yea some people dont mind tossing a few dollars here and there to make things easier from time to time. From what ive seen everything in game can be earned without spending a dime. But it costs your time, so then your argument comes to I value my time more and since your game is free and server costs arent a thing i just want everything free and as easy as possible. Which just makes no sense as the game wouldnt remain alive if that was the case. But so far its fun and if games like Raid shadow legends are still rolling on ill bet good money this will be around for awhile.
I agree this game is trash after 30 plus hours. There are constant road blocks and no natural progression. Warframe is not good, but compared to this, it is far superior, and there is progression. This game will be dead in a month. The pyromaniac boss is a prime example of how terrible this game is. This is just a cynical cash in on hard-core idiots with more money than sense. I'm done with this game better games that reward your time. I'm not against spending money, but I will send on fair pricing and not feel forced like this game is at every turn.
If you dont mind destiny and warframe grind then its not anything new, however new players NEW to gacha games will definitely will NOT like this. So skip if you have a job and dont spend money on games.
Hm, here is my opion is that gamers can only now choose between free games with micro transaction or "WOKE" games like the Assasin Greed Shadows. Let the gamers choose if they want to play The First Descendant or not.
Call caliber credit and certainly if you’re weak given your complaints about the micro transaction if you’re lazy and weed, you can go ahead and send money and buy your descendants. That’s why they’re there is for the people that want to continue financially support nexon and next crazy matter so file means by caliber and spend it on shit in the store or simply look up the item and go farm wherever it’s located, and somewhere knows that crazy transaction
Nothing you’re just that is true. Your math rank will matter, but not your character level in the game or your campaign level. Certain things require a certain math free level in order to craft maybe that’s what you meant when you said a certain level in the game, I mean there in fact many level there is weapons and gear level press and go through 100 characteror you can go up to 40 there three level which can go up to 30 and crafting is up for based on Fast three level becomes available at level 10
Its insane that people are comparing this to warframe on a monetization scale. Theyre defending it way to hard. Ive been playing warframe since 2013 and have spent money on the game happily because of how ethical Warframe's monetization is. The First Descendants monetization is horribly predatory, and the gameplay is intended to pigeon hole you into spending money after being so frustrated at not progressing. Then if you do spend money they ensure that the currency doesnt align properly so you spend more money than you have to in order to get what you want. Classic Nexon.
Also from 2013 WF here. Don't forget that WF's pricing has new WFs at $20-25 if there weren't sporadic discounts at login as well as player trading. I don't have any faith that Nexon (of all companies) would add discounts to their games, but there is supposed to be some form of trading in the future. Looked at without discounts or trading, WF actually has the more predatory model, with ~4 day build times and only 5-8 ish Potatoes per Nightwave run. Unfortunately, I do agree that TFD's MTX are worse overall, since ignoring WF's discounts is like skipping or tabbing out of every quest in WF, then saying it has no story or interesting lore.
I have to ask myself are you being fucking serious? It’s a video game of course it’s a waste of time. The entire point of video games is to waste time their entertainment that’s all. They’re all always showtime every single video game and history that you’re playing voluntarily is a waste of time
Yo JAKofALL - I agreed with you. Everyone in the comments are haters. Everything you highlighted is 100% true and anyone saying otherwise is huffing copium.
Amen... In the first descendant they make you pay for skins to change the color of your skins, but you also have to pay for the colors individually. Like what is that, and how are people okay with that. So many things about the game are greedy, and gross. 😂
@@TrinityVistapeople are not ok with that, it’s literally one of the biggest gripes. It wasn’t like that in the beta. Don’t be ignorant for the sake of, people despise that constantly.
I’m a warframe vet and with that said warframe is past its prime this game is lit 🔥 I got 4 characters free paid 10 bucks for battle pass and hitting 370k at mastery rank 12 with Blair… get gud
Agreed! why the hell would I waste thousands of hours grinding for the ultimate character, when i could drop $150 for Calibers and buy it outright. It's a grinding simulator with no sustenance or engagement. No wonder it free to play......lol
Free Hawks if you don’t spend money and you just play the game until while you’re tired of playing the game then you not anyway Ben or anything it’s free if you can play it free you don’t have to buy anything. I mean war frame has nearly 12 years with sex literally the exact same business model.
Nothing you’re just that is true. Your math rank will matter, but not your character level in the game or your campaign level.

Well, the problems people complain about aren’t real problems. This game is like any other would be looter shooter. Yes some things could be improved on but the game is pretty fair game. The “pay to win” is not pay to win. You have the option to choose between spending a week of your time grinding the game that’s meant to be grinded on or your can spend $60 to buy a descendant. Company here is known for their horrible monetization. Hopefully that’ll change a tad bit here to be better probably not. Game feels pretty good. Could definitely use more content and variety. Other than that the games perfectly fine lol people cry to much when it’s not to their liking and then tell other people not as an opinion but as this self centered “fact” that the game is bad. Every game is bad. People compare this to Warframe and Destiny. I’ve got 18,000 hours in Destiny and 1000+ in Warframe. This game is not meant to be either. It’s almost impossible to make a successful game like those two which are looter shooters without copying Warframe and Destiny in some way lol. That’s just how the games are. They’re looter shooters. You’re gonna get the same thing everytime. And another thing is, everytime you think you have the bugs fixed. There will always be more bugs. It’s technology. The more advanced it is, the more bugs there will be. Like every game in the last 7 years. People scream and holler because they don’t understand.
This game is quite literally “up there” in quality. Compared to many others that tried. People don’t ever give things a chance. We’re in day 2 of its launch. Give it time. You don’t gotta play all the time. Looter shooters tell you to keep going but it’s not like it’s telling you to play every minute of every day. Take breaks come back. I do that in warframe
Played it for a couple of evenings now and yeah, it’s a cross between Destiny 2 and Warframe. Weapons: The weapon and descendent mod system is great. It’s essentially the same as Warframe’s mod system, which works really well. Being able to loot weapons from the enemies is way better than the blueprint only approach in Warframe. It’s also way more generous with its weapon and descendant slots. Unfortunately there are no melee weapons, which, for people like me, is a huge loss. You do get a slightly drunk spinning punch though. It has a cooldown but it is satisfying when you land it. Movement mechanics: World traversal feels more like Destiny, although where Destiny gives “war between factions” vibes, FD gives “sometimes there are bad guys in this otherwise deserted area” vibes. It’s just not as interesting moment to moment. The grappling hook is really cool and enables way more strategy than Destiny does. The general world traversal isn’t as smooth as Warframe though, and you can often find that you’ve messed you jump and won’t make a gap or land on a platform. Missions: To start a mission, you go to a little beacon and then you get some enemies to fight. This usually in the form of: - Kill ‘em all - Kill ‘em until the scaled up dude with a different colour name tag and health bar turns up, then kill him too - Stay in the circle - Go to and briefly stay in a bunch of circles - Keep ‘em out of the circle - Take special enemy drop to the circle - Collect up the things The missions do state how long they’ll likely take, I appreciate this feature. Descendants: I started with Ajax, a big tanky dude before I unlocked Bunny, a speedy gal ability based damage dealer. Each descendant has active skills and one passive. Some of them feel lacklustre but Bunny’s kit is really strong. Again, you can enhance them with Warframe’s excellent mod system. Like Warframe, it’s a proper slog to build a new descendant, but it is doable. Combat: Shooting feels pretty good and there are plenty of weapons from which you can pick a favourite. Not having a viable melee response to getting jumped by 5 dudes in desperate need of nail clippers is jarring, but generally your abilities can give you space to breath, which gives you ample opportunity to give the enemies new holes to breathe from. While I do die sometimes, most encounters are pretty easy. Monetisation: It’s a monstrous cash grab that tries SO hard to get you spending. The game has been parcelled out into disparate chunks in order to make it so inconvenient that you might choose to spend your way through the hurdles. Overall: Its got some really nice ideas, but the goal of the publisher / developer clearly wasn’t to make a fun and engaging game. It was to make something familiar enough that they would stick around and part with their cash.
"Enables way more strategy than destiny does" Grappling, sword flying, skating, slip streaming, sparrows, skimmers... Dont want to be that dude but destinys overall movement capabilities are much much more than just running around and sliding
Im 106 hours in and its fun... To me it just looks like u were spoiled by AAA games. Dont forget that: -its free -many free2play games had shitty launches and got better over time -it not being ur cup of tea not meaning others cant enjoy it
I liked the intro but then the defense missions came in open areas with no cover, enemies with perfect aim and running mobs simultaneously with a miniboss. doesn't seem like the play experience is well balanced for solo and is tuned for full teams. Which I had full teams at first , but not anymore. I'm old and don't have much time. I think I'd rather play Legacy of Kain Defiance or Descent.
I think I also don't want to live my warframe days over either. 4-5k hours sunk, everything maxed, 100+ s tier rivens on a temporary game that they devs made gay.
You don't know what you're talking about... I already have a maxed level toon and I'm not even in hard mode yet... Also I'm playing with my friends so its more fun... xDD
Nah... At least in warframe you don't have to buy a single color, and a skin inorder to put on that single color, AND the color is one use. That is so greedy... We can't trade things in first descendant, and drops are separate so if all your friends get something and you don't then you'll likely buy it to catch up... Which is the disgusting reason why they do that. They don't care about entertaining. It's all just a scheme to get people to open their wallets and it's unfortunately working. Also the mobility and powers you get in warframe are amazing by comparison. Good luck trying to get enemies to walk through your tiny freyna toxic puddle. Also even the mods you can put on your characters are significantly nerfed in TFD. They say they only work for certain abilities, but don't even tell you which ones. Your mods in warframe work on all your abilities. If I put on range I have range for everything, not just certain abilities. Also if I was to get a character in warframe I can farm out all the parts in a few hours. If I want to get a character in TFD..... Well I'll tell you when I'm able to get one that's not a starter, bunny, or Freyna. 😂
@@TrinityVista First point: valid Trading is supposed to be on the way, and what kind of friends do you have if they don't try to help you get something you missed? Third point: valid (see: ultimate bunny) Just aim the ability correctly? Mod for range? Lots of WFs have disappointingly small AoEs too. The mobility is a decent point, but WF's is kind of boring once you know it inside and out, so even TFD's bland style is a change of pace that is moderately fun, and could make WF's more fun to return to. The mods work for the abilities they make sense to work on? Same as with WF? Also TFD has many more mods that provide better utility than WF's. In WF you'll use Stretch to increase ability range, and if you need more, you'll add Augur Reach, and if you needed more than that, you'll add Overextended. All flat increases, except the last one, which also makes your abilities weaker. That's it. So far, I've already found several mods in TFD that add range, as well as other things, allowing for much more varied builds. *Theoretically* you should be able to get a descendent in equal or less time than a WF, since the build time is shorter, and the requirements are basically the same: a bunch of trash loot + a part from some random place. I've also yet to build more than bunny, freyna, and sharen, so that remains to be seen.
@@TrinityVista The colour issue they already fixed. If you and your friends are standing by a vault coffin, only 1 of you has to use the key and all you get the reward. In-game achievements gives alot of rewards including colours. I'm dumbfounded as why so many people don't realize that.
Bold statement "Waste of Time" maybe for you, but not for people who enjoy these type of games mind changing title of the video to: The First Descendant is a waste of time for me because this is your personal opinion of the game and doesn't speak about the game in general I personally find this game a pretty good grind, in my opinion, it's not a waste of time, change my mind
And you ignored that nexon literally has warframe and D2 as sources to learn how to make a looter shooter game. That's why, for a lot of people, nexon didn't deliver what people expect from a looter shooter game. I'm not talking about the amount of content here, I'm talking about gameplay wise.
lol people boo hooing day 1 when you can earn every character and gun in game. Warframe has been around for over 10 years with the same practice and we dont see videos boycotting it....play the game or dont. spend money or dont.
Warframe has actual content This game is gonn have to take at minimum 5 years-7 years to be anywhere near warframe this game will dry out and die like anthem just wait.
No those were item storage capacity he showed. Mod capacity only available through the $100 dollar packs. Which you shouldn't buy because unlocking hard mode missions will make those easier to get and really getting those are the lategame grind.
Man says suffers from Unreal 5 systems, as if engine had anything to do with game systems design, like there aren't tens or hundreds of games made on U5 from different genres, art style and systems. Then goes into complaining that looter shooter requires grinding Jesus. Yes this game have issues, yes there is a lot of them, no you didn't list any of them.
Hello everyone I hear you! Look at my next video it shows my worry with the publisher...
I understand a game can be fun for the sake of a game! that being said If I stop 1 person from spending money on a scam I have done well. Love you all What level are you currently 32 at rabbit 3 bosses down.
ur video is 5 minute we will never get back and its rly a waste of time :)
its not a cash grab if u find this a cash grab then Warframe is also a cash grab, Getting a warframe u also need to wait if u want if for free, but if u pay for it u get it instantly. people are impatient so that the business model and honestly it is what it is. but buying IS OPTIONAL not needed tbh.
Why would you stop people from spending their money? Bro, I am not committing manslaughter or homicide... if I do like the game, that's my personal choice of what I want to do with it. Right?
Everybody has their opinion - I get it, but creating this negative narrative just to prove your point feels off. Even in the description "feel like it's not worth your time" like... who are you to speak in the name of all people? Get a grip or a therapy
No
Bro lvl 32 isnt even that far in the last normal boss and last 3 hard mode bosses are group only and require people to be a team and not just mindless DPS.
Bros literally has a video for quitting each game he’s played lmao
That what happen when you play too much game. You get burnout really easy.
That's kinda based lmao
Bro would be devastated playing warframe
Facts
Lol same with pso
Warframe doesn't manipulate drop rates to try to get you to spend money though. Nexon does and was literally fined by the Korean government for it just recently.
this game is worse than warframe if talking about monetization and grinding
@@zelta68 Not really. Consider if WF didn't have player-to-player trading in its current state. They'd be pretty even, as far as monetization goes. Actually, WF would be worse, since Reactors/Cats as well as Forma are basically mandatory, and only Forma are obtainable on a regular basis. TFD actually has a healthier system for getting similar upgrade mats... if WF didn't have trading. If TFD ever added 60%+ discounts like what WF has, I think the MTX would be viewed similarly. Consider that a single Warframe is priced such that without player trading and login discounts, it would cost a minimum of $20-25 to have enough platinum to buy one. That said, Nexon (we know how *they* are) aren't likely to add discounts to one of their games, so WF will always have a better model in the end.
Trading for TFD is supposedly on the way, but we'll have to see *what* exactly can even be traded, and what other limits they'll impose.
As for grinding, it's pretty relative. There's people in WF who have had to farm for **weeks** to get Equinox, not to mention the horrific grind for Arcanes, when Flare, Energize, Augmented, as well as several others are just expected for end-game builds.
watching your video is a waste of time

As a Warframe and Destiny 2 player I honestly don’t mind the grind. I also have developed the patience to wait multiple days to build a single character.

The game is great, ofcourse its gunna be a cash grab on the micro transactions, Its a free to play game. You ever played warframe? Kinda similar yet its one of the best looter shooters around. Considering it only just released it plays like a dream wich honestly is breath of fresh air. I understand were your coming from but i think your concerns are a bit misplaced.

I feel if you had a bit more balance on the pros and cons this video would have been recieved a bit better. Other than that good video and have a great day my dude. I look forward to seeing more from you. 😊
How can you say it's great when the game just launched? :| You cannot say it's great, neither bad in this point in time...

@@KA-vs7nlstill fun. Op didnt say its perfect :/
I beat the story and I think I might be done with the game. The bullet sponge dps bosses just aren't engaging enough to warrant the grind. I speak only for myself. Some people love to grind for grinds sake and for that I say you will love this game.

How tf you at endgame, you did that quick.

its a free to play game and for that its suprisingly fun to just download and play w a friend:). i sadly paid 60 euro for anthem and bought destiny w a dlc pack. the difference between these games is not that big xd
To each their own, I guess.
based off the dudes titles, the dude is right lmao.
This game artificially intervenes with certain aspects in the game to make them take longer OR you can use real money to "speed it up". By definition, wasting your time. And before you say "WelLll ISn"t EvERy GAmE A WAsTe Of TimEE Then? Duerhrhhh". That's not the point lmao. Another argument is "Well this game is F2P". So you're saying because it's F2P this is how the game should be ? Another terrible argument lol.
I also seen Endgame and it looks like the same old boss with so much health and you just shoot at it. That's literally every small boss in the game. Just standing and have a lot of health except this one is just colossus.
This game definitely needed another year to cook and a lot better monetization system.
@@rayzem33 that's not the point of my comment in fact you ignored the whole point to get some "gotcha"
Love how you're defending this game. And I don't think you understand the extent this game does for you to even try to defend it 💀
Nah, it didn't need another year to cook at all. This is exactly what they want. It's the Gaming equivalent of a Pump N' Dump. We're still in the Pump Phase, but you can be sure Nexon is going to take a giant, steaming Dump on everyone's chest in a couple of months.
Dead game lol
i migrated to warframe, when the problems in TFD were just too much to hide from.
Don't pay attention to the haters. They are all in the honeymoon phase. It's overhyped, and people will start to hate it. I liked it alot, now I'm 50+ hours in, and I want all my time and effort back. At least in other grindy games I feel a sense of reward, but in this one you start to realize you get nothing. Everything is work to get a chance at something else, which you have to spend 10 of to get a 2% chance at something else. Such a waste of time. After spending 5 hours trying to get something that had a 50% drop chance, I was done. 😂👎
I started to realize it at around 60 hours. The first 40 hours were basically Story Mode Progression, upgrading gear, mods etc etc. Then you hit early endgame, get a build going and farm for 20 additional hours and realize you got fuck all for those 20 hours and made no additional progression at all. I expect reality to start to kick in a few weeks down the line and a lot of people are just going to drop the game entirely. I could be wrong, but it's pretty easy to see the writing on the wall imo.
this is the reality of asian grinders, im just realizing it now. how do they enjoy this over there?
Pervy S imps is all who's keeping this 🗑🚮 alive. Cause of oh look how Koreia design women. Lol this game a wannabe OG Xbox Bruteforce game. Its Repetitive. Really Easy. Lacks any depth & substance.
It's nice to have a brute opinion. The game is not awful but I do agree that the game is lacking personality. I really dont like the movements, it feels like your walking inside a simulation, there is no weight or inertia in the character motion. The weapons are underwhelming and not kicking fun in my brain. But overall for a free game it's worth trying for yourself.
Turn motion blur off if its “too blurry” 😂
As a destiny 2 and fortnite player the grinding is just basic mechanics. Already have 3 characters without paying a single dime and the gunplay is good enough to pay something, but their battlepass need to offer better things. It doesn t compare at all to fortnite with nothing juicy that is worth my wallet. Will probably buy it though because with 30 hours of play I believe this game deserves the 10 dollars that it costs. Hope devs will listen and make more temping passes in the future.
im going to be honest here, this is a worst warframe in every single aspect except how sexy the characters look.
2300h in WF here, and... you're not really wrong.
For the benefit of others reading this:
Having used WF's parkour for so long, TFD's is actually more fun for me ATM, despite it being just like any other game save for the grapple hook and double jump.
The guns have neat designs, but have less interesting mechanical design than WF's.
TFD seems to have more interesting and viable mods than WF does. In WF usually a viable build boils down to a small handful of mods + some slight personal variation outside of changes for faction resistances.
TFD lacks a real melee system, and the mods that act like WF's stance mods (but are equipped to Descendants) just change animations.
The Colossi are somewhat more interesting fights than most of WF's boss fights, but don't compare to Remnant: from the Ashes (which I think is most comparable here, what with both TFD and RftA featuring multi-stage souls-esque bosses, as well as dodge rolls and guns).
Ultimately, I'd recommend anyone with a decent internet connection and even a vague interest to try it out, since the game is free and only 36gb, comparable in size to Warframe. Just don't buy anything, the MTX are over the top on price.
@@locozi6788tbh the game just came out and warframe is like what 11 years old
And tbh the first few years of warframe (from what I heard and seen from videos) sound actually @$$ like it seem to have only gotta good after 5 years compared to that TFD is good
100 bucks for a Single Ultimate character on always Online Game is Crazy Expensive. If the Servers go Down then...bye bye money...
you can get ultimates for cheaper with a few less goodies (though still expensive), or SLOWLY farm for them. As for your last point... well, thats true of any online game, including the two closest cousins of that one, destiny 2 and Warframe
its not 100. in 100 bundle you get some cosmetics like back attachement, animation, bla bla, and 2 formas and 1 energy activator. that alone cost like 40 $.
there are packs with only Ultimate desc, slot and a premium skin for around 50 $. So its cheaper than packs in warframe when they release new Primes.
Also it takes only few days to farm ultimate descendant. i have 65 ish H in game and already crafted ultimate glay. now trying to farm for bunny.
Yeah its like bye bye money or bye bye time😅😂😂
$60 for base ulti but yeah if it goes EOS its byebye but the game is no-1 on steam beating out destiny and warframe's all time high and concurrent as of now. They hit the sweet spot that gamers have been looking for, going from this to EOS is going to take a lot of fails because frankly there's little alternative that isn't old.
@@summer7603 they didn't hit any sweet spot, it's at the top because it's WF/Destiny but the characters aren't ugly as sin. Its competitors go out of their way to make everything look ugly.
The actual farming and monetization are crazy and insane, and the game doesn't run well.
Just to put things into perspective, each Catalyst (forma) requires 1h to 2h of farming to craft(Blueprint and mats), and then 8h of wait time; then, to apply it you have to level your weapon to 40, which takes another 2 hours of defense missions, and to fully mod a single weapon you need at the very least 7 formas if you keep your elemental mod lower level (which is advisable because then you're able to switch it).
So you're looking at 12h x 7 for one single weapon
boosters are 30%, and there's gear that gives you a bit more exp but it doesn't seem to make such a big difference, let's be really generous and say with a booster and full exp multiplier gear it takes 10h per forma, you're looking at 70h for one single fully modded weapon. And you do definitely need at least one, specific to a character.
In the case of legendary weapons they come with 2 slots forma'd, but you are required to craft the weapon 5 times to level its special effect, which probably pushes that into the 100h+ area
this is not counting the time it takes to farm Kuiper shards and gold to level your mods to cap
I think leveling is satisfying in games, and I'm not against farming, but this is really stupid, and it's only like this because NEXON lets you pay $7 to skip 10 out of 12 of those hours by buying Catalysts. That is a clean $50 for 7 catalysts.
They're not even smart enough to sell them in bundles of 3 so people would have 2 left over after each weapon, they're really just dumb and greedy, which should come as a surprise to no one.
I already don't like asian style games, like genshin or DMC, Monster hunter and MGS. So it's already dropping down for me (personaly).
Also a character creation with class choice would've won more points for many people than just choosing characters. I can't stand those baby korean faces. Like, idk how to describe it, but for me, it's a big nope. Blair looks cool af on the other hand. Again, it's only personal preferences.
Gameplay wise...... Warframe+Destiny. That's it. I know this comparaison pisses some people off, but it litteraly is true.
Level design and missions wise... sure, kind of repetitive at some points but meh. I like farming anyways so i don't really care as a Warframe player.
Crafting wise... i've seen WAY worse in some other games, so yeah, nothing amazing but not bad neither.
Microtransactions............................................ i'll leave it at that.
All in all, (I) would give this game a 5.5 outta 10. No the best, but not the worst. I understand why some people love it, but i also understand why some people hate it. And AGAAAAIN, this is only MY view on it. Don't take it personal.
This game has potential to be fun but it is loaded with issues needs massive quality of life updates translation updates and balance changes. The game is overall repetitive uninteresting and lacks diversity in game modes.
I think you video is a waste of time...your review must show both sides of the coin..you showed us only one side...let me clarify with capitals the rest...
EVERYTHING CAN BE ACQUIRED THROUGH GAMEPLAY
ITS FREE,FUN,AND SOMEONE WROTE "REPETIVE" SO....WARFRAME AND DESTINY 10 YEARS THERE ARE NOT REPETIVE
WHILE BUNGIE MILKING THEIR PLAYERBASE...
TFD LANCHES 16 DUNGEOS,16 BOSS RAID INTERCEPT, VARIOUS TYPES OF DEFENSE MISSIONS,AND HARD MODE WHICH YOU CAN REPLAY MISSIONS FOR MASTERY
IMO IS THE MOST COMPLETE GAME ON LANCH!!! LOVE IT! DO NOT BE A HATER..
do you know during the time the descendant / weapon components craft, YOU CAN TOUCH GRASS AND COME BACK LATER, jeezus shutting your brain off is seemingly easier dont take offense now we all f up once in a while but from the 32h you spent "playing" 26 of those shouldnt be leaving your pc on in the background. oh and idk whilst the main weapon/descendant is crafting for a day or so YOU COULD GO TO WORK and there you have your time worth
"oh look it's a free game with microtransactions for convenience and cosmetics. WASTEOFTIME! CASHGRAB!"
You should have started the video with "I don't like looter-shooters but I'm gonna play this anyways". That saves viewer's time.
God damn there are a lot of losers pretending this game isn't a 5 out of 10, the grapple physics alone took the game down two points, melee is terrible and when you get raggdolled it's like the animation was sped up awkwardly.
You have never played any other looter shooter have you?
I have played the game for 40 hours. Yes it is not perfect. Yes it can be improved.
But is it fun? Yes.
Are dev improving things and listening to community better then payed games? YES
Can you play the entire game for free? YES
Is the game p2w? NO
Even if you buy stuff you still need yo grind like everyone else to get a strong build.
I like to think of shop category as cosmetic category.
Many and MANY games like this have this sort of market system.
Riot games sell skins for their free to play game. Heck valorant skins cost so fucking much more then this game does.
Don't even get me started on CSGO.
Or league of legend £500 skin.
Or genshin impact with ridiculous rng system for characters.
Yes it is annoying that games have this but they need money to run the game especially life service games.
As long as it is not p2w am good.
Dude it's an MMO. The First Descendant has solid MMO RPG elements. I haven't seen an MMO that isn't like that. Bless Unleashed you had to farm stuff with horrifying drop rates, Neverwinter is like that too, Warframe and Destiny 2..
This game is far from a cash grab. You can get everything free except for exclusive cosmetics. Why you even waste your time uploading this? 🤦🏽♂️🤡
You need to be careful when putting a certain title for your videos, because philosophically speaking, all games are a waste of time. Watching sports is a waste, playing simple card games is a waste. Watching basic TV shows is a waste. See?
So in essence, the title of your video is: _"The First Descendant isn't for me."_
My thoughts are there well over 100,000 people playing it right now on steam that being only 20% of the gaming industry mean being 20% of the gaming industry so there are probably at least another 300,000 people playing it on the consul and you know my thoughts are said it’s popular because it’s 2 AM Eastern time and then that many people playing it Thought is that you do not understand this gaming genre or 540 gaming at all the purpose of gaming is to disconnect from life have fun in a fantasy world. We literally don’t go around shooting in our day-to-day life so this is a disconnect from life it’s supposed to be fun. It’s supposed to be a time wait for, and unless you lack, you can simply avoid handing nexon your money
You say the truth. This Game is in every instance a brainless shooter Game. I understand that makes fun first but every human with health brain cant Play IT Long. Only the lost ones does. I have played this Game about 100 hours and i asked me why im doing a Game with No deep or good gameplay. Really every Quest is on a other map the Same and damed easy that every idiot dont need brain. Mainly the character are looks sexy like. Every knows why you see bunny and other Woman character the most the time.
Firstly, calling the game a 'cash grab', when it is literally free and not a single piece of meaningful content is locked behind a paywall? Interesting one there.
Next, the primary materials for descendants don't need to be researched through sub-components... most of them can be farmed from dungeons and boss drops in their totality, skipping the sub-components. Also, the comment on the 'timer' for the bosses is a ridiculous take, considering that's a mechanic in most MMO's in some format. If anything, the boss being a 'dps check' makes it more team oriented, due to needing better coordination??? Lastly, why do you have an issue with needing to actually progress and farm in the game to obtain new characters? You can't factor in progressing through the story as hours needed to grind for the character... that's a very odd take considering AGAIN, that form of progression is standard in most MMOs. So many things wrong with these statements and you're just spreading needless negativity for a game that's actually decent, regardless of the publisher. It would be fine if your takes were valid, but it's just purely hating for the sake of it.

Even if we were to consider it just as opinion, they're opinions based on sheer lack of knowledge of this game or the genre in general. If you're going to review games, at least put the effort in to research this shit.
@@JAKofALL also the "blur" is called motion blur mate, it's a basic graphics option you can switch off in the options. But that's just my 'opinion'.

@@Grenholdt standard keyboard warrior 😂
Big bosses really don’t give you loot they give you a resources occasionally a bit of loot by usually Jeffrey star and I don’t know what the fuck a Penske is nor do I value my time playing a game it’s entertainment. I’m doing it for fun relaxation for disconnect from life. I’m not like running a stopwatch or a clock timing to see how much money it’s costing me to play it or how much time I’m wasting on it video games for our time wasterthey do not provide create nothing at nothing way to disconnect kinda like watching a movie on Netflix do you know what a movie is on Netflix right that’s also a waste of time. Do you value your time there? Keep track decide whether the movie was worth two hours of your time it took off I mean, I kind of do because I’ll give it 1000 south but I don’t let it bother me for more than about 2 1/2 seconds.
So there's pay to win and pay for convenience. To complain over having to grind mats, then spend 16 hours researching and than another 16 hours for a grand whooping 32 hours to unlock a character is a bit insane. Not like the game is completely locked and you cant play it while you are reaearching. Than comparing it to $7 to unlock instantly. Yea some people dont mind tossing a few dollars here and there to make things easier from time to time. From what ive seen everything in game can be earned without spending a dime. But it costs your time, so then your argument comes to I value my time more and since your game is free and server costs arent a thing i just want everything free and as easy as possible. Which just makes no sense as the game wouldnt remain alive if that was the case. But so far its fun and if games like Raid shadow legends are still rolling on ill bet good money this will be around for awhile.
300h in this game and 75% of items get. And 8 ult weapons lvl 4 4 max build ult frames.
I agree this game is trash after 30 plus hours. There are constant road blocks and no natural progression. Warframe is not good, but compared to this, it is far superior, and there is progression. This game will be dead in a month. The pyromaniac boss is a prime example of how terrible this game is. This is just a cynical cash in on hard-core idiots with more money than sense. I'm done with this game better games that reward your time. I'm not against spending money, but I will send on fair pricing and not feel forced like this game is at every turn.
If you dont mind destiny and warframe grind then its not anything new, however new players NEW to gacha games will definitely will NOT like this.
So skip if you have a job and dont spend money on games.
Hm, here is my opion is that gamers can only now choose between free games with micro transaction or "WOKE" games like the Assasin Greed Shadows. Let the gamers choose if they want to play The First Descendant or not.
Call caliber credit and certainly if you’re weak given your complaints about the micro transaction if you’re lazy and weed, you can go ahead and send money and buy your descendants. That’s why they’re there is for the people that want to continue financially support nexon and next crazy matter so file means by caliber and spend it on shit in the store or simply look up the item and go farm wherever it’s located, and somewhere knows that crazy transaction
Nothing you’re just that is true. Your math rank will matter, but not your character level in the game or your campaign level. Certain things require a certain math free level in order to craft maybe that’s what you meant when you said a certain level in the game, I mean there in fact many level there is weapons and gear level press and go through 100 characteror you can go up to 40 there three level which can go up to 30 and crafting is up for based on Fast three level becomes available at level 10
160 hours in the game. It indeed sucks.
it does suck but u people that spend 160 hours of ur life playing a game u don’t like r so weird
Its insane that people are comparing this to warframe on a monetization scale. Theyre defending it way to hard. Ive been playing warframe since 2013 and have spent money on the game happily because of how ethical Warframe's monetization is. The First Descendants monetization is horribly predatory, and the gameplay is intended to pigeon hole you into spending money after being so frustrated at not progressing. Then if you do spend money they ensure that the currency doesnt align properly so you spend more money than you have to in order to get what you want. Classic Nexon.
Exactly these shills in the comments don’t seem to understand that tho
Also from 2013 WF here.
Don't forget that WF's pricing has new WFs at $20-25 if there weren't sporadic discounts at login as well as player trading. I don't have any faith that Nexon (of all companies) would add discounts to their games, but there is supposed to be some form of trading in the future. Looked at without discounts or trading, WF actually has the more predatory model, with ~4 day build times and only 5-8 ish Potatoes per Nightwave run.
Unfortunately, I do agree that TFD's MTX are worse overall, since ignoring WF's discounts is like skipping or tabbing out of every quest in WF, then saying it has no story or interesting lore.
hot take but hope you enjoy it as it goes on
I have to ask myself are you being fucking serious? It’s a video game of course it’s a waste of time. The entire point of video games is to waste time their entertainment that’s all. They’re all always showtime every single video game and history that you’re playing voluntarily is a waste of time
I would rather play Warframe 😅
Absolute great game, drops are good, dont need to spend a penny... Just chill and play!
I love it. It is the video game equivalent of Las Vegas. Great gameplay.
Get the sub up then maybe people would actually care about your opinion
Yo JAKofALL - I agreed with you. Everyone in the comments are haters. Everything you highlighted is 100% true and anyone saying otherwise is huffing copium.
Greedy monetization will kill off the player base. Warframe provides a better experience for a f2p player.
Amen... In the first descendant they make you pay for skins to change the color of your skins, but you also have to pay for the colors individually. Like what is that, and how are people okay with that. So many things about the game are greedy, and gross. 😂
It's a south korean game. Monetization is only gonna get worse and worse like any other korean game
@@TrinityVistapeople are not ok with that, it’s literally one of the biggest gripes. It wasn’t like that in the beta.
Don’t be ignorant for the sake of, people despise that constantly.
I’m a warframe vet and with that said warframe is past its prime this game is lit 🔥 I got 4 characters free paid 10 bucks for battle pass and hitting 370k at mastery rank 12 with Blair… get gud
Bro i cant 😂
Warframe literally has primes u buy. The only thing holding this game back is not having a market YET
All videos games are a waste of times. They are there to detach and have fun. That's it.
This guy would bitch and moan 24/7 in mmo raids, complaining about dps checks.
"might be a waste of time" yes sir that's what game do sir (gender neutral formal speech)
I love it and haven’t spent a dime! Lol
Agreed! why the hell would I waste thousands of hours grinding for the ultimate character, when i could drop $150 for Calibers and buy it outright. It's a grinding simulator with no sustenance or engagement. No wonder it free to play......lol
Guess what unless you are a video game streamer all video games are a waste of time that is the point.
Free Hawks if you don’t spend money and you just play the game until while you’re tired of playing the game then you not anyway Ben or anything it’s free if you can play it free you don’t have to buy anything. I mean war frame has nearly 12 years with sex literally the exact same business model.

This game is not good... its also addictive... Which is by design
Game free to play and you crying like don't like don't play
Well, the problems people complain about aren’t real problems. This game is like any other would be looter shooter. Yes some things could be improved on but the game is pretty fair game. The “pay to win” is not pay to win. You have the option to choose between spending a week of your time grinding the game that’s meant to be grinded on or your can spend $60 to buy a descendant. Company here is known for their horrible monetization. Hopefully that’ll change a tad bit here to be better probably not. Game feels pretty good. Could definitely use more content and variety. Other than that the games perfectly fine lol people cry to much when it’s not to their liking and then tell other people not as an opinion but as this self centered “fact” that the game is bad. Every game is bad. People compare this to Warframe and Destiny. I’ve got 18,000 hours in Destiny and 1000+ in Warframe. This game is not meant to be either. It’s almost impossible to make a successful game like those two which are looter shooters without copying Warframe and Destiny in some way lol. That’s just how the games are. They’re looter shooters. You’re gonna get the same thing everytime. And another thing is, everytime you think you have the bugs fixed. There will always be more bugs. It’s technology. The more advanced it is, the more bugs there will be. Like every game in the last 7 years. People scream and holler because they don’t understand.
This game is quite literally “up there” in quality. Compared to many others that tried. People don’t ever give things a chance. We’re in day 2 of its launch. Give it time. You don’t gotta play all the time. Looter shooters tell you to keep going but it’s not like it’s telling you to play every minute of every day. Take breaks come back. I do that in warframe
This game might be bad, but if it is its not for the reasons you listed.
Played it for a couple of evenings now and yeah, it’s a cross between Destiny 2 and Warframe.
Weapons:
The weapon and descendent mod system is great. It’s essentially the same as Warframe’s mod system, which works really well.
Being able to loot weapons from the enemies is way better than the blueprint only approach in Warframe.
It’s also way more generous with its weapon and descendant slots.
Unfortunately there are no melee weapons, which, for people like me, is a huge loss.
You do get a slightly drunk spinning punch though. It has a cooldown but it is satisfying when you land it.
Movement mechanics:
World traversal feels more like Destiny, although where Destiny gives “war between factions” vibes, FD gives “sometimes there are bad guys in this otherwise deserted area” vibes. It’s just not as interesting moment to moment.
The grappling hook is really cool and enables way more strategy than Destiny does.
The general world traversal isn’t as smooth as Warframe though, and you can often find that you’ve messed you jump and won’t make a gap or land on a platform.
Missions:
To start a mission, you go to a little beacon and then you get some enemies to fight. This usually in the form of:
- Kill ‘em all
- Kill ‘em until the scaled up dude with a different colour name tag and health bar turns up, then kill him too
- Stay in the circle
- Go to and briefly stay in a bunch of circles
- Keep ‘em out of the circle
- Take special enemy drop to the circle
- Collect up the things
The missions do state how long they’ll likely take, I appreciate this feature.
Descendants:
I started with Ajax, a big tanky dude before I unlocked Bunny, a speedy gal ability based damage dealer.
Each descendant has active skills and one passive. Some of them feel lacklustre but Bunny’s kit is really strong.
Again, you can enhance them with Warframe’s excellent mod system.
Like Warframe, it’s a proper slog to build a new descendant, but it is doable.
Combat:
Shooting feels pretty good and there are plenty of weapons from which you can pick a favourite.
Not having a viable melee response to getting jumped by 5 dudes in desperate need of nail clippers is jarring, but generally your abilities can give you space to breath, which gives you ample opportunity to give the enemies new holes to breathe from.
While I do die sometimes, most encounters are pretty easy.
Monetisation:
It’s a monstrous cash grab that tries SO hard to get you spending.
The game has been parcelled out into disparate chunks in order to make it so inconvenient that you might choose to spend your way through the hurdles.
Overall:
Its got some really nice ideas, but the goal of the publisher / developer clearly wasn’t to make a fun and engaging game. It was to make something familiar enough that they would stick around and part with their cash.
"Enables way more strategy than destiny does"
Grappling, sword flying, skating, slip streaming, sparrows, skimmers...
Dont want to be that dude but destinys overall movement capabilities are much much more than just running around and sliding
PS ive got 170 hours into this game as well 😂
Im 106 hours in and its fun...
To me it just looks like u were spoiled by AAA games. Dont forget that:
-its free
-many free2play games had shitty launches and got better over time
-it not being ur cup of tea not meaning others cant enjoy it
🤣🤣🤣
I liked the intro but then the defense missions came in open areas with no cover, enemies with perfect aim and running mobs simultaneously with a miniboss. doesn't seem like the play experience is well balanced for solo and is tuned for full teams. Which I had full teams at first , but not anymore. I'm old and don't have much time. I think I'd rather play Legacy of Kain Defiance or Descent.
I think I also don't want to live my warframe days over either. 4-5k hours sunk, everything maxed, 100+ s tier rivens on a temporary game that they devs made gay.
You don't know what you're talking about... I already have a maxed level toon and I'm not even in hard mode yet... Also I'm playing with my friends so its more fun... xDD
Warframe is the exact same thing lol so is many other games
Nah... At least in warframe you don't have to buy a single color, and a skin inorder to put on that single color, AND the color is one use. That is so greedy...
We can't trade things in first descendant, and drops are separate so if all your friends get something and you don't then you'll likely buy it to catch up... Which is the disgusting reason why they do that.
They don't care about entertaining. It's all just a scheme to get people to open their wallets and it's unfortunately working.
Also the mobility and powers you get in warframe are amazing by comparison. Good luck trying to get enemies to walk through your tiny freyna toxic puddle.
Also even the mods you can put on your characters are significantly nerfed in TFD. They say they only work for certain abilities, but don't even tell you which ones. Your mods in warframe work on all your abilities. If I put on range I have range for everything, not just certain abilities.
Also if I was to get a character in warframe I can farm out all the parts in a few hours. If I want to get a character in TFD..... Well I'll tell you when I'm able to get one that's not a starter, bunny, or Freyna. 😂
@@TrinityVista First point: valid
Trading is supposed to be on the way, and what kind of friends do you have if they don't try to help you get something you missed?
Third point: valid (see: ultimate bunny)
Just aim the ability correctly? Mod for range? Lots of WFs have disappointingly small AoEs too. The mobility is a decent point, but WF's is kind of boring once you know it inside and out, so even TFD's bland style is a change of pace that is moderately fun, and could make WF's more fun to return to.
The mods work for the abilities they make sense to work on? Same as with WF? Also TFD has many more mods that provide better utility than WF's. In WF you'll use Stretch to increase ability range, and if you need more, you'll add Augur Reach, and if you needed more than that, you'll add Overextended. All flat increases, except the last one, which also makes your abilities weaker. That's it. So far, I've already found several mods in TFD that add range, as well as other things, allowing for much more varied builds.
*Theoretically* you should be able to get a descendent in equal or less time than a WF, since the build time is shorter, and the requirements are basically the same: a bunch of trash loot + a part from some random place. I've also yet to build more than bunny, freyna, and sharen, so that remains to be seen.
@@TrinityVista The colour issue they already fixed. If you and your friends are standing by a vault coffin, only 1 of you has to use the key and all you get the reward. In-game achievements gives alot of rewards including colours. I'm dumbfounded as why so many people don't realize that.
This is coming from a channel that only has 174 subs 😂😂😂😂😂

There’s something off with this game
Bold statement "Waste of Time" maybe for you, but not for people who enjoy these type of games
mind changing title of the video to: The First Descendant is a waste of time for me
because this is your personal opinion of the game and doesn't speak about the game in general
I personally find this game a pretty good grind, in my opinion, it's not a waste of time, change my mind
🤓🤡
The AI is hwank in this game. The shooting is solid
Warframe was shit for like a solid 3 or 4 years. People expecting way too much from this game so early on lol
And you ignored that nexon literally has warframe and D2 as sources to learn how to make a looter shooter game. That's why, for a lot of people, nexon didn't deliver what people expect from a looter shooter game. I'm not talking about the amount of content here, I'm talking about gameplay wise.
People want everything free...
The game is awesome
And the grind aint that bad
🤡
no lfg for hard mode is a dead game walking
It’s very much like a mobile game
lol people boo hooing day 1 when you can earn every character and gun in game. Warframe has been around for over 10 years with the same practice and we dont see videos boycotting it....play the game or dont. spend money or dont.
Warframe has actual content This game is gonn have to take at minimum 5 years-7 years to be anywhere near warframe this game will dry out and die like anthem just wait.
@@NeoAwakened Bruh, warframe was released in 2013...
@@scxpticplaya2098 Thatss exactly the point im waiting I dont plan on waiting 10 years for there to be enough content in the game good luck.
Coming from Warframe, i found that spending 20 bucks for upping the mod capacity of stuff insane.
I haven't gotten that far yet, but supposedly you can just craft those later on.
No those were item storage capacity he showed. Mod capacity only available through the $100 dollar packs. Which you shouldn't buy because unlocking hard mode missions will make those easier to get and really getting those are the lategame grind.
People can't have an opinion
Is not all video games a waste of time ?
Grind for a day or spend money? Wow😂
I enjoy it but i literally have 2k+ in warframe and pso2 both so im enjoying it
Im 240 hrs in buddy!
Try Warframe
Man says suffers from Unreal 5 systems, as if engine had anything to do with game systems design, like there aren't tens or hundreds of games made on U5 from different genres, art style and systems. Then goes into complaining that looter shooter requires grinding Jesus. Yes this game have issues, yes there is a lot of them, no you didn't list any of them.
