Thank you for the breakdown. The information was helpful & very well put together. I dont play many games anymore, so this game was one that I decided would be one of the main games I play from day zero & invest my time into it. Knowing what im in for will let me play the game with normal expectations & what I need to watch out for. Hopefully they do build on it & it improves with time.
Thanks for the kind words :) As the game is off to a good start in terms of player numbers, I hope the developer works actively on the feedback and makes it a game worth playing for many years!
@@QCDone I been playing for a while now. I will say you were right with the graphics & frame rate. I have it on performance & the frame rate drops badly if there is too much going on. Hopefully they fix it.
Hopefully they do get a good community & support going so they keep it running & develop it further.
Also, the fact the global chat is uncensored is a +. The things people say on there are HILARIOUS!
Got yourself another subscriber
Thanks for subscribing 😄 Yeah hopefully they fix the performance and store issues soon! How are you liking the game itself so far?
@@QCDone can't say I'm hating it, it's good for what it offers. Clearly there is more they could do with it. Missions are repetitive, given the type of game it is.
Characters - nice variety & power profiles
World - Interesting settings / eco systems
Missions - repetitive yet quick. Lessens the grind fatigue.
Minor missions 5-10min
Large boss missions 20-25
Loot drop - Could use some fixing
Exp - I ran a normal mission 15 times before getting a 20% item, while I got the 1% item on the 3 run. Maybe it was luck. IDK LoL.
Cosmetics - Good amount
Cash shop - 50/50
Hi value items, definitely pricey / low value items around $5 - $10 each.
Upgrade items - easy to acquire & research
Lvling up - easy & fast. I'm almost lvl 40. MAX lvl before having to upgrade to surpass the 40 cap.
Research times - suck, too long. Like 3 hrs to unlock a character. I'm already on my 2 character unlocked, but waiting 3 hrs to be able to use it. Is ridiculous. I'm sure it's to try & get you to spend $ to unlock them instantly.
I am glad that most of the store items are able to be acquired through the game & don't require actually spending money.
Thanks for the detailed notes; I'm sure this will be helpful in providing additional info to anyone watching this video!
A wait time of 3 hours to play a new character seems so short when compared to the 3 Days required by Warframe! Either way, it's a silly mechanic to cash in by testing players' patience.
Same here, just walk away 😂 I was bored anyway 5 hours in, good review👍
Thank you! This is perhaps the best thing to do - try it for yourself and take a decision!
former Warframe player here. I really want to play the game and it looks so good. Sadly, the store so expensive and it will stay that way. Why? Nexon is the game publisher so I will pass. So players, spend wisely and enjoy the game!
noothing to spend if u are a warframe player uk u dont have to spend anything same in this game bro i have 2k+ hhrs in warframe fyi
They do have the option to change prices based on player feedback, but the core of the game will still revolve around the store. If they add trading then perhaps it will have a better chance at retaining more players.
@@QCDone ya they will by the end of this year they have said it already
Idk after destiny and warframe it looks like crumbs that fell on the floor xD
And people say its p2w so no thanks ill keep playing good games :D
"p2w" in a game that is free and is ONLY PVE. Christ you are dumb as hell and everyone that says that it's p2w regardless what you think of it.
literally no aspect of it is p2w im a warframe plasyer with almost 2k+ hours speaking from experience, thats a meme ppl are buying skins cos they look tempting
I play Warframe and Destiny as well, and like I said in the video I don't have the energy to start another game from scratch all over again :P Even the devs probably know that, they are probably hoping to attract completely new players or those who are fully burnt out on the other games.
there is no way for it to be pay to win unless you count having cheeks on your screen a win💀
For me it's very good the things I like about new looter shooter games is that I can start from scratch again and feel like progressing again like warframe and destiny I was looking for a new game in this genre for a long time i literally don't have nothing much to do in warframe and destiny they become so boring now this game will be a good change in pace
bro dont u know about warframe ?? this game is targatted for those audience and as a person with 2k+ hrs in warframe myself this game is very good ofcourse can be better and will get better slowly after some updates, u cant compare games like these with AAA story games , coompare these with other games like it then make a review
Yes, I agree that this game has a certain target audience and those people are already having a good time. Most of them probably don't need to watch any reviews in the first place. This video is targeted at other people who may be curious about this game and want to know more before installing it :)
