    inventory space is earned ingame as rewards when leveling up your mastery. mastery upgrade also gives you more modslots etc etc...

    • @CasualGamerYT
      @CasualGamerYT  5 หลายเดือนก่อน +1

      Yeah, but selling inventory space like that means that there might be a push one day to make other microtransactions 100% required.

    What's intriguing me at the moment is their " Special announcement " which is on the 7th of June, and as many may know, that's also the date for Destiny 2 and its Final Shape expansion. Could it be coincidence, possibly. But D2 over the last several Months have also done colabs with different Brands. It just seems odd and counter productive to use a date that another looter shooter, with an extremely hyped and long awaited expansion is releasing for a marketing announcement of some description. Yes I know not everyone is a D2 player, but within this genre, there will be far more than less.

    • @CasualGamerYT
      @CasualGamerYT  5 หลายเดือนก่อน +2

      Final Shape launches on June 4th.
      From what we understand, Nexon will likely be announcing the official launch date of The First Descendent on June 7th.

    I think the game is very promising. I think people also need to remember warframe and destiny have been around for quite a while. So I’m sure this game will become even better along down the line.

    • @CasualGamerYT
      @CasualGamerYT  5 หลายเดือนก่อน +1

      Just mentioned that in another comment... It's tough to compare something new to games that have been around for YEARS with massive player bases.
      I think most people are worried about the aggressive monetization that Nexon is known for ruining the game early on and preventing it from becoming accessible enough to build longevity in the player base.

    I felt like latency was a bit off but overall felt enjoyable, special ops difficulty scaling were not optimized.

    • @CasualGamerYT
      @CasualGamerYT  5 หลายเดือนก่อน +1

      We noticed a bit of lag in places as well and there were some frame rate dips as well.
      But again, that’s just an optimisation thing before launch.

    On the radio, they haven’t fixed that either. It’s a big sparrow arena with no aesthetic value whatsoever. It’s just a bunch of blocks giving you you know cover and obstacles and things to jump up on, but it’s going to get boring really really quickly and you’re going to have to grind back most of the endgame is going to be grinding those bosses in the same fucking environment over and over and over againall let’s not forget spending your money to buy food to get your crafting done fast so you can try a new hero

    Present that the dad came anthem is still played by. A fair number of people is because it was innovative in way in front skeleton, arbor suit and great movement and reversal abilities. It has good shooting and good gameplay. It isn’t the game itself that failed it the way it was put together that failed And descendants while it also has good movement and all that it’s basically a base four player co-op game where the entire purpose is to sell you new characters or sell the tools quickly craft new characters. Everything in it is just a good part taken from James like Warf frame and destiny too, literally every idea in it is stolen from another game. It will be an immediate success from a gamer real point because it’s new with an ear. It’ll be dead unfortunate because when I played the beta, I was hoping for something to replace destiny and Warf frame I like or frame but I like Luder shooters or frame is not a Luder shooter that’s well put together got an awesome story with grades cinematics, great gameplay great movement great Trevor everything about it’s good but it’s not loader shooter right what your loot isn’t gun or armor? It’s been in pieces to make gun armor. I want endorphin you know those the dopamine rush, chemical concoction that goes off in your brain when you get new item that you know of a high rarity, it’s exciting getting a piece of a war frame that you need a bunch other pieces to craft that’s not that exciting or piece of a weapon exciting formula that made borderland even though they really aren’t you know millions of guns there’s just a few brand names with the normal art types with loads of variations on each of those types but it’s still fun when you get one in your comparing stats and deciding is this better than what I’m using that fun Shooter fun and it keeps going because five minutes later you pick up something else that’s going to be better than what you’re using because of progression and it makes it fun. The first descendants isn’t going to replace any of that because it’s not anywhere near the quality game, but that’s or Warf are not even close.

    They must charge their business model and make it like warframes and i am saying copy paste warframe model...that everything can be acquired by playing the game..even slots can be earned on warframe through the nightwave...or chanfe the BP and give materials like descendant slots,energy activators,and useful things that helps to progress furthermore....i will play it and i will buy BP if it helps progress but i am no skin player and color...but i have seen that throughout BP when you reach level 50 it has free skins as well and from the BP you acquire 300 calliber for spending on descendant slots! But my suggestion is to change their business model so it has a further future..

      I think it's reasonable to be sceptical of Nexon based on past experience, right... But at the same time, let's see how this one plays out. The actual developers of this one seem pretty committed to doing a good job, but in fairness, a lot of monetization decisions will be above their pay grade.
      We'll do a video when it launches in full about how far you can get in the game without spending money.

      I think in 2024 with the way the games industry is, I don't think we'll see games getting pushed back six months or a year for more refinement.
      We'll see them drop it and go through the usual cycle of, "We hear you and we're fixing things..."
      That's the way the industry is now.

  • @billy_cross

    Well, party system, dude it’s like when you’re dropping the destiny into the world you’re just in the world with three other players in that game they couldn’t be bothered to have a decent number of people in that fairly large zones. I mean, they are deep inside open or zones, but they couldn’t bother to put more than more people in them, which was one of the gigantic complain about the free roam area on anthem it was just too big. I’m not people, there are multiple events going on at once and it was not frequent but one person at each event nobody working collaboratively together and some events could not be done solo and the way they did the I mean the instances you don’t even have to work I can join an instance go to my thing start up a mission somewhere on the map while other people are doing a mission elsewhere. There’s no forced collaboration, not a team it’s like they made a poor player. They tried to make it into a four player MMO. It’s not good that they fixed it so the world is populated or are you still again in a dead world and you actually start a mission can you run around and click without fighting anything, that was one of the big complaints from the last beta that the world is not alive unless you turn it on

    Anyone and Destiny two are 16 player instances that have actual world events that’s why the tank doesn’t spawn because people walk out there. It’s bonded out a fucking timer and it’s a world event and people come to it to do it regardless of who’s there because it’s a world event that dropped flute. Nothing going on in this game is a world event. They are all missions spawned by interacting with the total Just start commission you can literally have four different missions going on at one time because unless I actually see you out and join you with you’re already running mission. I have to find you and come join you in your mission. That’s not an event you’re talking about like big world collaboration and it’s not it’s a foreplay co-op. We’re not even actually on a team

    biggest red flag : the devs and publishers themselves; Nexon...aka one of the most greediest asian publishers in existence...and if you look at their porfolio of mostly gacha games with only 1 or 2 notably 'kind' games in the roster like Blue Archive (even then theres no pity system outside of a 200 pull selectable on featured banners and the progression is a time gated slogfest), its no surprise you see the same greed manifesting in TFD...
    overpriced battle passes...Destiny style shader system mixed in with abit of Halo Infinite cancer (seriously, we went from paying 10 dollars for the color blue to paying 10 for rng colors)...a dead world (literally) and a sloppy story with characters that exist for fanservice only, it wont last outside of Korea with so much life service slop infesting the market at this time
    edit - the thing i dont get about all these games that attempt to copy Warframe is how much they keep trying to ruin the formula by introducing 'micro' transactions and other live service nonsense into the mix...is how they keep conveniently leaving out the method to earn premium currency for free, think Helldivers 2 with the SC being found in game...or Warframe; where theres a player market you can always sell something in to earn platinum...
    sure; you can copy Warframe's modding system, the gunplay, the traversal system, its everything even. But if you're just another soulless copy existing for the sole purpose of being an overpriced 'micro' transaction mill; why even bother...

    • @CasualGamerYT

    Talking about war Raymond destiny I mean destiny two is aggressively and the consumer monetized with micro transaction or and micro transactions about the Wu the difference being everything that you can buy you can also earn but still they both have serious micro transaction. Denver says that and more frame are both high quality shooters. The descendants is not Texan doesn’t develop good game. They develop games that are good for their cash shops I found the first send fund the way there’s nothing about it. That’s in anyway innovative there’s nothing new. It’s not really question unless they’ve made serious fucking changes since the last open Beto that game is not going to be a big hit it’ll be a novelty for a while and people will play it but when they find out that it’s really just about selling your shit in the cash shop they’ll go back to play war frame or destinyor God or whatever else they’re playing it’s not a good game

      The mechanics of the game are pretty good and it was admirable how during the development cycle they not only switched engines to improve the visual quality, but also implemented XeSS as soon as it launched.
      It feels like during the development, they wanted to build a "good" game with solid craftsmanship.
      The issue of P2W is going to be there with Nexon until they prove otherwise, so that's a fair point.
