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

If the ultimate versions of characters are similar to primes in Warframe then they’ll just have small bumps in base stats and an upgraded look. I’ve played everything in Warframe and realistically there is not much difference between the base version and the prime. Investment into the character is similar and their performance is too. As long as the method of obtaining descendants is fair and not greedy it should be fine. First Descendant is much more Warframe than Destiny imo. You’re inhabiting a character, 3rd person, free to play, and with modding for characters and weapons. If the devs are patient and listen to their core community similar to DE at Warframe…then the game has potential.
My biggest problem with primes in warframe is despite being similar it made normal varients feel disapointing and not worth grinding. If the primes not out yet ill just wit instead of fetting the regular since it feels like a waste of time.
@SamNo27 There's a reason they do that, though. For one thing, "if the Prime isn't our yet, i just wait" is a bad tactic, especially as the last batch of new Frames have been devastatingly good, and they're years away from getting Primes. The idea is that every base Frame is viable as they are, and Primes aren't necessary. Think of them like the shinies from Destiny Onslaught during ITL. They look better and it's nice to have a little extra (in the form of stats), but they're in no way required. Every Frame can handle just about every form of content if built well with the options available. Primes component blueprints being tradeable also plugs into making monetization better. It means friends/clans can help each other get new gear faster (by both farming OR trade, however players want). It's been 11 years for DE. They have that mastered for a reason.
@@SamNo27 That's fine, it's a very "play your way" type game. I'm mostly pointing out that, years ago for example, Orokin Reactors for Frames were hard to come by. So investing one in a new base Frame would potentially be a waste if you happen to get a Prime you'd rather invest in. Nowadays, Reactors are pretty easy to get from several sources. But that's a personal choice. If you'd rather wait, then wait. We'll have to see how much better Ultimates are here than normal Descendants. Since they can't be traded for or acquired easier, it'll be interesting to see how that factors into both monetization and gameplay.
from what i remember playing the betas, this game also has an account level system, based on total mastery of gear, so just like warframe maxing out base and prime (ultimate) give separate xp towards that account system, its natural to get the prime and forget the base, but you max both so you can maximize your gain in account systems
Does that go for weapons as well? Raising Mastery in Warframe tends to be a bit more predictable, as loot isn't showering down like it is in this game. I'm just curious if I'll need to save and level, say...every archetype of weaponry in order to get all the account mastery here. Wouldn't mind doing that, just wanted to know.
@@RedShadowOfSaturn in this game there are set weapons, lets say you get a smg called "scorpion", using one scorpion builds proficiency, this stat carries over to all of the scorpions you get from there
First Descendant already has far more fleshed out systems and endgame than Anthem or Outriders ever did though. I don't think this game is going to be mega popular but it should be a solid game with a steady player base unless they really fuck it up. The betas were fun.
@@snowdrifter6187 TBF to outriders, it was never going to be a live service game, the devs explicitly stated that fact well before it's release. it was meant to be a one and done with a DLC after the fact if it did well. (which it got)
I don’t understand why people constantly compare third person games to Destiny. I’m sure there’s some things it does similarly, but the core gameplay experience is completely different. It looks like a fun game and because it’s free I’m absolutely going to try it out, but I know beforehand that I won’t like it more than Destiny purely because it’s third person.
that's just how people who play Destiny are they are like o this game is a destiny and this game cross when the only thing it has in common is there looter shooters or have a class system in it, to be honest i think destiny players need to learn that not all the looter shooters are destiny not all will have the same crap as destiny
Destiny players after paying $100 for an expansion + season pass, $20 for the dungeon pass, and another $100 for previous expansions so you can actually get all the games content: “Erm Nexon sometimes hides content behind a paywall, be weary gamers!”
@@blackyvertigoI'll agree with you on that. Anthem nailed the movement and primer/detonator systems, but everything around those things dropped the ball so hard it registered in the Richter scale.
"A lot of devs..." Just say Bungie...it's ok, lol. My guess is it will scratch an itch for 2-3 months, then flop like everything else. The developer has a pretty bad track record and most of their games are heavy pay to win. I played the beta and enjoyed it for what it was, but couldn't help but have that feeling of "We have Warframe at home." It was like they took some Warframe stuff and combined it with some stuff with Anthem, the weapons are really bland and the grappling hook was slow and clunky in game despite the trailers showing this insane movement. Warframe still has the best 3rd person combat/movement system so again...I don't see the point of playing this over that, but will give it a shot and see if it can grab my attention since it's free. This game will not be a "Warframe Killer" as Cross puts it, lol. No chance.
11:54 they're 100% going the Warframe route with the modules The mods in Warframe work the same way, if you match the polarity of the mod with the polarity on the mod slot, then it discounts the space it costs from the overall capacity Yea Warframe players will be very familiar with this system
And will come to understand that polarities (If implemented in the same way) are bad for buildcrafting and should be a generic slot upgrade instead of a specific class upgrade.
The most complete game will be! Everything can be acquired through gameplay....you all see the latest dev lanch note,,it will have trade option something that Destiny never even tried....and above all is free to play the whole game....I do not mind paying 10 E for battlepass and some skin maybe I like...on Destiny you PAY ALL CONTENT plus cosmetics...bungie 10 years now milked everyone with half baked dlcs like "Lightfall " which lost the half playerbase...TFD will be a very attractive change to Destiny players because for 10 years now they only play and grind....now pay nothing farm,grind ,raid bosses,dungeons, all free...and on Unreal 5.2 engine...which on next generation consoles plays 1440p 120fps....while Destiny does that only on pvp...to all Guardians out there try it....the builds are insane ... CROSS YOU HAVE THE WRONG VIDEO...SEE THE LAST ONE...ARE YOU KIDDING ME NOW😂...the last video explains everything....
Someone, PLEASE show cross the video they made that explicitly talked about their endgame plans. He kept bringing it up, and i wanted to yell through this video that they already discussed it prior!
It's a Korean game, so I already know everything about it. 1. Gibberish story with horrible localization and a personal grudge against lip syncing. 2. Everything is constantly so over the top that it becomes boring quickly. 3. It will somehow still feel like a mobile game despite not being on mobile. 4. Any fun content the game has will be walled off by either a cosmic shit ton of boring content or money.
Build battles for this game would be hilariously fun Im so down for that EDIT: Also so in the Beta they did have giant "Raid like Bosses" you can defeat however they were just in a "giant grey room" much like you showed at the end of the video (which is meh af,kinda lazy imo cause it was like that in Beta, and seems to still be that way, just a Giant Boss in a Grey Room lmao but maybe not we shall see tomorrow) But I think they need to add full on Raids like with fully designed Levels/Rooms and Mechanics leading up to Encounters (like Destiny , since Warframe DOES NOT HAVE THIS, that could be HUGE for this game) They have been listening to playerbase (somewhat) lets hope they add Raids in the future much like Destiny! Lets ask them to and lets see what they do!
The ultimate weapon portion you commented on. That end-game boss has a phase that can be cancelled early if you use a certain ultimate weapon to interrupt it. Its not required to defeat the boss it just makes it easier
@@Subsistence69 played both beta and both where ass you can do everything in the game in warframe but better 🤣🤣 100x more customization 100x movement 100x better building and crafting 100x better in general this game is litterally a knock off of warframe but worse in every way 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

@0:01 Re: Hype. The only reason I enjoyed Cyberpunk 2077 at launch (on PC) was because I didn't have a scrap of hype for it, it just looked interesting. Keep your expectations low, you'll never be disappointed.
I think a lot of its ability to have staying power is to capture some of Warframe’s magic. They will have to do regular good updates. Since it is free to play people are more likely to drop it because it cost nothing to buy
Lets be honest here: nobody thinks this is a destiny killer. It needs to earn its stripes. But it has the most potential of any launch in years and im here for it. We need more games in the Destiny realm.
What worries me is that they are gonna make us rely on ultimate equipment to beat this game or to even enjoy the game which they'll end up adding microtransactions for these said ultimate equipments.
Im interested but I'm currently juggling warframe & destiny which I haven't done in years, literally on a schedule. Now I gotta squeeze this in to try it 😅
This game isn't replacing Destiny 2 for me, it's replacing the Division 2. Ubisoft had their chance, for more than five years and blew it. I will gladly play and enjoy both, I'm pleased games are improving. I was thinking gaming was dying.
how can you say something you've never played is going to replace something else lol You have NO idea how this game will turn out. It might straight up not be playable on your computer. It might require P2W so abusive that you simply cannot afford to pay. It might have absolutely 0 content, like you'll only do the exact same mission a billion times over with 0 variation in mission design. There's so much that can go wrong to be able to say this will replace anything. A lot of these shooter type games come out. They all fail. Every single one. Destiny and Warframe are the only ones still around long-term out of tens, if not hundreds, that tried. 2 games. Even helldivers 2 which had amazing success at launch has completely killed itself in under 6 months because of Sony, even a super successful launch does not mean the game is sustainable long term. What you've said is just braindead
Played the beta and it was fun but it’s repetitive and everyone just plays as bunny Hopefully a lot and I mean a *LOT* has changed to even dream of completing with destiny/ trying to board destiny players Like sure some will play it for a while especially the “f destiny it sucks” players but after like 2 weeks- a month we’ll be storming back to destiny It’s just too unique and can only be “beaten” by super niche games or gta6 but that’s in a completely different genre and idhk if destiny players are all that big into games like that I personally am tho I’ve been on destiny longer (cuz yes destiny is THAT good to me)
@@milk8979 it’s not that big a deal but it might be problematic in endgame if everyone is the same character I’m not the biggest fan of “hero” characters I like having my own but at least in this game it’s similar to classes and it’s not restricted to only one person being one hero (Like overwatch or cod bo4)
I hope its decent enough to compete with Warframe and Destiny. Two games that I rotate daily but I do burn myself out after all seasonal content dries up. Please don't be like Outriders, Anthem and Wayfinder. I bought and played all of those sadly.
This game steps more into the domain of warframe but i feel like it wont be a solid competitor since one of the major factors i see when i play warframe is its just so optimized that even pretty old hardware can play it, while this game is pretty demanding.
I didn't really hear about this game until the TH-cam ads began to pop up about it. Will give it a fair shake when it drops on Steam, as more games in the PvE Looter Shooter space like Destiny and Borderlands is good for the genre (if it's done well)
So much of this is just directly lifted from Warframe lol. Mod(ules), mod slot polarity, Mastery Rank, cracking 'relics' for the parts to build the ultimate (prime) versions of the weapons and descendants, etc, etc.
Just judging from your comments, you don't seem to have much experience with warframe, which this game is a 100% clone of. Sure there is some destiny flavors, but it is unabashedly warframe. For non warframe players this might seem like a huge grind fest but that gameplay loop is what's been keeping Warframe going for years. Coming at it from the perspective of a destiny player is probably going to disappoint you.
game looks okay... the big problem with it that I see (other than microtransactions, like others said) is that it won't have basically any sort of story and it won't have actual hard endgame content. Warframe suffered from the same problems at launch, and it still doesn't really have endgame content, except for one new weekly mission that's super difficult.
This ticks allot more Warframe boxes for me than Destiny, I love Warframe so I'm looking forward to playing this but I can see Destiny players not liking it tbh the mod system and the grind that will come with a f2p game.
It's kind of a small thing but I genuinely wish Cross would stop looking at every single live service, looter shooter, mmo or whatever equivalent as either "something like Destiny" or "the destiny killer". There's been way too many times he's gone into other games with this framing where it serves to only poison the well with how HE ultimately views the game or how he sways his viewers to view the game. & after a while it becomes unnecessary. A lot of these games are nothing like Destiny. Have no intention to be anything like Destiny. & are looking to enter a space that is nowhere near Destiny.
Ive played the game multiple times. The combat is lack luster and you only shoot regular guns. Idk why every looter shooter that comes around cant have unique gun design like Destiny.
My expectations are pretty low for this game. even with the beta last year I thought the mission structure was pretty bland. Hopefully they've improved that.
its a game that took all the best parts of other looter shooters: destiny, warframe, the division 2. and amped up those features. lets just hope there is a decent end game.
Taking the best elements of existing games doesn't mean you'll have a good game. That almost never works. The best games are those who innovated and added their own flair to stand out from the rest. Copy pasting existing gameplay mechanics and enhancing them just makes the game feel terribly bland, like you've played it before and not in a good way.
For those of us who played Warframe from the start and know how rough that was, I personally say this is in a far better state at beta than Warframe was at launch. Warframe today is a totally different beast than it once was at the start. First Descendant has the foundation set. Just needs to continue to to improve from here as Warframe did. Btw: this is not a Warframe killer. Its a game that can rurn into a great competitor. We all win. Destiny? Its been dead to me for years lol.
I think you're looking at this exclusively from a Destiny player's perspective. Warframe doesn't have endgame systems like a raid and it has been living for a long time with its repeatable missions etc. This game is waaaay more like Warframe than Destiny.

He'll adapt quick enough with the current state of Bungo. Or he just doubles down to be one of a few D2 Cc's left (as everyone else plays TFD)@@buddybarlow9604
I want this game to succeed so badly. I've been craving for another looter shooter to fall in love with. I want this one to work out.
I'm in the same boat. Good for the genre if there's multiple good games within it
played warframe?
I am so sick of Warframe dude the grind is fun I just don't have the drive to grind when I already clear everything they send at me with a one to two shot yk@@leomussio8926
@@leomussio8926 yeah i played like 2 years of warframe and even more of destiny 2 and the division 2. Im itching for something new at this point.
RIght! I thought Outriders wouldv'e been that game for me, and well.... we all know how that went
If the ultimate versions of characters are similar to primes in Warframe then they’ll just have small bumps in base stats and an upgraded look. I’ve played everything in Warframe and realistically there is not much difference between the base version and the prime. Investment into the character is similar and their performance is too. As long as the method of obtaining descendants is fair and not greedy it should be fine. First Descendant is much more Warframe than Destiny imo. You’re inhabiting a character, 3rd person, free to play, and with modding for characters and weapons. If the devs are patient and listen to their core community similar to DE at Warframe…then the game has potential.
My biggest problem with primes in warframe is despite being similar it made normal varients feel disapointing and not worth grinding. If the primes not out yet ill just wit instead of fetting the regular since it feels like a waste of time.
@@SamNo27Yup the issues that one destiny content creator don't use and wank Warframe high
@SamNo27 There's a reason they do that, though. For one thing, "if the Prime isn't our yet, i just wait" is a bad tactic, especially as the last batch of new Frames have been devastatingly good, and they're years away from getting Primes. The idea is that every base Frame is viable as they are, and Primes aren't necessary. Think of them like the shinies from Destiny Onslaught during ITL. They look better and it's nice to have a little extra (in the form of stats), but they're in no way required. Every Frame can handle just about every form of content if built well with the options available.
Primes component blueprints being tradeable also plugs into making monetization better. It means friends/clans can help each other get new gear faster (by both farming OR trade, however players want).
It's been 11 years for DE. They have that mastered for a reason.
@@RedShadowOfSaturn i agree completely im just willing wait. I have plenty of frames that are op for pretty much all content already.
@@SamNo27 That's fine, it's a very "play your way" type game. I'm mostly pointing out that, years ago for example, Orokin Reactors for Frames were hard to come by. So investing one in a new base Frame would potentially be a waste if you happen to get a Prime you'd rather invest in. Nowadays, Reactors are pretty easy to get from several sources. But that's a personal choice.
If you'd rather wait, then wait. We'll have to see how much better Ultimates are here than normal Descendants. Since they can't be traded for or acquired easier, it'll be interesting to see how that factors into both monetization and gameplay.
from what i remember playing the betas, this game also has an account level system, based on total mastery of gear, so just like warframe maxing out base and prime (ultimate) give separate xp towards that account system, its natural to get the prime and forget the base, but you max both so you can maximize your gain in account systems
Does that go for weapons as well? Raising Mastery in Warframe tends to be a bit more predictable, as loot isn't showering down like it is in this game. I'm just curious if I'll need to save and level, say...every archetype of weaponry in order to get all the account mastery here. Wouldn't mind doing that, just wanted to know.
@@RedShadowOfSaturn in this game there are set weapons, lets say you get a smg called "scorpion", using one scorpion builds proficiency, this stat carries over to all of the scorpions you get from there
Please note this is my experience in the crossplay beta things may have changed
I remember i was just as excited for a release as Anthem. I'm just excited and terrified now.
Anthem, outriders, etc makes me sad they got dropped so fast.
Good thing the barrier entry for this is free, so your dead should be better quelled if it does fail.
First Descendant already has far more fleshed out systems and endgame than Anthem or Outriders ever did though. I don't think this game is going to be mega popular but it should be a solid game with a steady player base unless they really fuck it up. The betas were fun.
This looks like they took some of the anthem mechanics lol
@@snowdrifter6187 TBF to outriders, it was never going to be a live service game, the devs explicitly stated that fact well before it's release.
it was meant to be a one and done with a DLC after the fact if it did well. (which it got)
this is Anthem re-made
It’s a wareframe outriders combo and I’m here for it
Outriders was fantastic and underrated in my opinion.
@@againstalladsgames it was really fun just the coop not working for so long after launch ruined a lot of hype
Not for long
@@againstalladsgames dude i loved that game, then the big worldlsayer update came and i loved that too, just not enough endgame
@@againstalladsgamesI thought Outriders was awful.
Im only playing this game because butt cheeks. The rest is a bonus
I don’t understand why people constantly compare third person games to Destiny. I’m sure there’s some things it does similarly, but the core gameplay experience is completely different.
It looks like a fun game and because it’s free I’m absolutely going to try it out, but I know beforehand that I won’t like it more than Destiny purely because it’s third person.
that's just how people who play Destiny are they are like o this game is a destiny and this game cross when the only thing it has in common is there looter shooters or have a class system in it, to be honest i think destiny players need to learn that not all the looter shooters are destiny not all will have the same crap as destiny
@@Terudy529 TBF I dont even think Warframe is technically a looter shooter.
Destiny players dont understand that not everyone is addicted to Destiny
Destiny players after paying $100 for an expansion + season pass, $20 for the dungeon pass, and another $100 for previous expansions so you can actually get all the games content: “Erm Nexon sometimes hides content behind a paywall, be weary gamers!”
It looks like Anthem meets Outriders. As we know, those were both absolute pinnacles of stability in the gaming world!
Almost a copy and paste of warframe 😂
Yeah sure buddy
To be fair anthems combat loop was and in my opinion still is one of the best. It faltered due to lack of content and support
@@blackyvertigoI'll agree with you on that. Anthem nailed the movement and primer/detonator systems, but everything around those things dropped the ball so hard it registered in the Richter scale.
@@yungsinnxr5397 copy and paste of warframe go cry yourself to sleep
"A lot of devs..." Just say Bungie...it's ok, lol.
My guess is it will scratch an itch for 2-3 months, then flop like everything else. The developer has a pretty bad track record and most of their games are heavy pay to win. I played the beta and enjoyed it for what it was, but couldn't help but have that feeling of "We have Warframe at home." It was like they took some Warframe stuff and combined it with some stuff with Anthem, the weapons are really bland and the grappling hook was slow and clunky in game despite the trailers showing this insane movement. Warframe still has the best 3rd person combat/movement system so again...I don't see the point of playing this over that, but will give it a shot and see if it can grab my attention since it's free.
This game will not be a "Warframe Killer" as Cross puts it, lol. No chance.
fyi to those who aren’t familiar with Nexon games. They are no strangers to paywalling actual power and progression in a lot of their games.
I played the beta and I hate to say that Destiny is way better. Idk combat is clunky and not fun.
It's crazy that Warframe now has competition which is great but a lot here will say Destiny knowing it's not the same.
"competitor"
“Competitor” 😂😂😂
Competition? 😂😂 I want whatever you're huffin.
11:54 they're 100% going the Warframe route with the modules
The mods in Warframe work the same way, if you match the polarity of the mod with the polarity on the mod slot, then it discounts the space it costs from the overall capacity
Yea Warframe players will be very familiar with this system
And will come to understand that polarities (If implemented in the same way) are bad for buildcrafting and should be a generic slot upgrade instead of a specific class upgrade.
it'll be good, not ground breaking but ya
I think its more division 2 and warframe
My body is ready
The most complete game will be! Everything can be acquired through gameplay....you all see the latest dev lanch note,,it will have trade option something that Destiny never even tried....and above all is free to play the whole game....I do not mind paying 10 E for battlepass and some skin maybe I like...on Destiny you PAY ALL CONTENT plus cosmetics...bungie 10 years now milked everyone with half baked dlcs like "Lightfall " which lost the half playerbase...TFD will be a very attractive change to Destiny players because for 10 years now they only play and grind....now pay nothing farm,grind ,raid bosses,dungeons, all free...and on Unreal 5.2 engine...which on next generation consoles plays 1440p 120fps....while Destiny does that only on pvp...to all Guardians out there try it....the builds are insane ...
CROSS YOU HAVE THE WRONG VIDEO...SEE THE LAST ONE...ARE YOU KIDDING ME NOW😂...the last video explains everything....
Someone, PLEASE show cross the video they made that explicitly talked about their endgame plans. He kept bringing it up, and i wanted to yell through this video that they already discussed it prior!
It's F2P, if I will hit a Free wall, i'll simply stop.
Destiny was never Free to begin with.
idk im gonna give this game a week and wait on what the people will say. dont know how this game will keep up
It's literally free.. why not play it and make your own mind up.
Just because something is free, doesn't mean I have to try it out. Not everything that is free makes it good@@CringeConsultant
yh im waiting a week even tho I played the beta before 😭
It's a Korean game, so I already know everything about it.
1. Gibberish story with horrible localization and a personal grudge against lip syncing.
2. Everything is constantly so over the top that it becomes boring quickly.
3. It will somehow still feel like a mobile game despite not being on mobile.
4. Any fun content the game has will be walled off by either a cosmic shit ton of boring content or money.
Build battles for this game would be hilariously fun
Im so down for that
EDIT: Also so in the Beta they did have giant "Raid like Bosses" you can defeat however they were just in a "giant grey room" much like you showed at the end of the video (which is meh af,kinda lazy imo cause it was like that in Beta, and seems to still be that way, just a Giant Boss in a Grey Room lmao but maybe not we shall see tomorrow)
But I think they need to add full on Raids like with fully designed Levels/Rooms and Mechanics leading up to Encounters (like Destiny , since Warframe DOES NOT HAVE THIS, that could be HUGE for this game)
They have been listening to playerbase (somewhat) lets hope they add Raids in the future much like Destiny! Lets ask them to and lets see what they do!
Warframe used to have raids, but were poorly implemented and removed and are yet to make a come back. But hopefully will soon.
I’m playing this over D2 regardless The Last Shape was the worst shit I’ve ever played. I’m never touching D2 again.
This game will last for about 2 weeks
Agreed
That’s exactly what I said
Maybe a month at best but we know that’s gonna be fueled by the “we hate destiny but play it every day” type of players
Mmmmm
Depends. Its very similar to warframe, so it might attract that playerbase during warframes constant content droughts
Korean game by Nexon with gacha and p2w elements.
Yeah...
The ultimate weapon portion you commented on. That end-game boss has a phase that can be cancelled early if you use a certain ultimate weapon to interrupt it. Its not required to defeat the boss it just makes it easier
Sry but i dont feeling it at all, seems like a cheap Destiny/warframe copy with clunky combat.
Fingers crossed 🤞
I watched a video about it half a year ago, I thought it was going to be shit. I tried it, I played for 9 hours the first day... I really like it
Nope.
Idk.
JULY 7TH IS NATIONAL GAMBIT DAY
SPREAD THE WORD
Not a fan of games like these but something about it makes me wanna play it.
Just go play warframe 😂
@@MrGooseMan666I tried warframe and thought it was ass. This game is hella fun, Ive been waiting for release since the last beta
@@Subsistence69 played both beta and both where ass you can do everything in the game in warframe but better 🤣🤣 100x more customization 100x movement 100x better building and crafting 100x better in general this game is litterally a knock off of warframe but worse in every way 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
@@Subsistence69 you probably also lack brain function to actually understand it so gotta go for the Chinese knock off
@@MrGooseMan666 play it all you want brother 😂 all Im saying is some people prefer this game 🤷🏻♂️
If there's no PvP I don't play. Your first point is so fucking relevant. It also lowkey reminds me of The Division a bit, and I can't wait for The Division Heartland or TD3. If anyone whos readindg this comment finds out if there will be PvP please reply. Thanks.
I’m dropping D2 for awhile for this. I don’t care what the reviews say.
Dropping D2 or taking a break?
Good luck
Cope
Good bro, I love that game too but they’ve really been running it into the ground. Time to move on 😭😢
Same here, the ending for final shape was more than enough for me and satisfied me
It's free! Ya' all really think this game going to last more then 2 months? Yeah ok😂😂😂
@0:01 Re: Hype. The only reason I enjoyed Cyberpunk 2077 at launch (on PC) was because I didn't have a scrap of hype for it, it just looked interesting. Keep your expectations low, you'll never be disappointed.
It's a Nexon game, Cross.. It's a Nexon game. Hard Pass for me.
Im not touching d2 tomorrow. Ive waited for 2 years for this. Im 100% in
This looks like anthem without the cool stuff
The thing holding these games back from killing destiny is down to one thing. They're not FPS.
That's subjective to you though
exactly
Destiny also isn't really a F2P game, so people stick around or come back because of the money and time spent already.
I hate FPS one of the reasons I dont play destiny
Third person is better for looters shooters tho
I think a lot of its ability to have staying power is to capture some of Warframe’s magic. They will have to do regular good updates. Since it is free to play people are more likely to drop it because it cost nothing to buy
every class has a grappling hook so yea it’s gonna be good
*cries in Lightfall*
one of the main problems for me is these other destiny like games aren’t fps
Cross resisting the urge to not title this as "DESTINY KILLER"
Lets be honest here: nobody thinks this is a destiny killer. It needs to earn its stripes. But it has the most potential of any launch in years and im here for it. We need more games in the Destiny realm.
Fanboy is why
I have history with Nexon and based off that alone I know to be worried. That doesn't mean I won't be there day 1 though
Isn't Nexon also the Blue Archive guys ?
He'll play this, but not warframe...
What worries me is that they are gonna make us rely on ultimate equipment to beat this game or to even enjoy the game which they'll end up adding microtransactions for these said ultimate equipments.
I'll just grind the ultimates out instead of paying. So im not worried.
If its anything like warframe then its a non issue
Im interested but I'm currently juggling warframe & destiny which I haven't done in years, literally on a schedule. Now I gotta squeeze this in to try it 😅
I feel ya
This game isn't replacing Destiny 2 for me, it's replacing the Division 2. Ubisoft had their chance, for more than five years and blew it. I will gladly play and enjoy both, I'm pleased games are improving. I was thinking gaming was dying.
how can you say something you've never played is going to replace something else lol
You have NO idea how this game will turn out. It might straight up not be playable on your computer. It might require P2W so abusive that you simply cannot afford to pay. It might have absolutely 0 content, like you'll only do the exact same mission a billion times over with 0 variation in mission design. There's so much that can go wrong to be able to say this will replace anything.
A lot of these shooter type games come out. They all fail. Every single one. Destiny and Warframe are the only ones still around long-term out of tens, if not hundreds, that tried. 2 games. Even helldivers 2 which had amazing success at launch has completely killed itself in under 6 months because of Sony, even a super successful launch does not mean the game is sustainable long term.
What you've said is just braindead
Played the Beta. Most fun i had with a game in YEARS. Ready to grind it tomorrow
Gonna have no players in 2 months like every other “destiny killer”
Played the beta and it was fun but it’s repetitive and everyone just plays as bunny
Hopefully a lot and I mean a *LOT* has changed to even dream of completing with destiny/ trying to board destiny players
Like sure some will play it for a while especially the “f destiny it sucks” players but after like 2 weeks- a month we’ll be storming back to destiny
It’s just too unique and can only be “beaten” by super niche games or gta6 but that’s in a completely different genre and idhk if destiny players are all that big into games like that
I personally am tho I’ve been on destiny longer (cuz yes destiny is THAT good to me)
well..its a beta...and they gave basically everyone bunny for free.............
@@milk8979 it’s not that big a deal but it might be problematic in endgame if everyone is the same character
I’m not the biggest fan of “hero” characters I like having my own but at least in this game it’s similar to classes and it’s not restricted to only one person being one hero
(Like overwatch or cod bo4)
I am going to establish myself as a lore tuber for this game going forward.
So far, I am intrigued with what it presents to me.
Good luck👍 hope it goes well and you make a name for yourself
Good luck. If I jump on board the First Descendant bandwagon, I’ll check you out.
@@route77productions Thank you so very much.
Should you find yourself trying the game, I will look forward to seeing there.
This game will flop. It’s Nexon.
Quite hype for the game but I hope for the love of everything holy and sacred that the company behind it don't fuck it up.
Guess I’ll be the immature one 😂 BOOBA
I hope its decent enough to compete with Warframe and Destiny. Two games that I rotate daily but I do burn myself out after all seasonal content dries up. Please don't be like Outriders, Anthem and Wayfinder. I bought and played all of those sadly.
This game steps more into the domain of warframe but i feel like it wont be a solid competitor since one of the major factors i see when i play warframe is its just so optimized that even pretty old hardware can play it, while this game is pretty demanding.
it will likely get better, its improved a ton since beta
Expect more micro transactions and extremely repetitive and non existent content over actual evolution, this is the epitome of Korean mmo’s/games.
you havnt played have ya. it uses the same systems as warframe
Basically, the same as like in Warframe you have the normal version of the character and then you have the prime version
I didn't really hear about this game until the TH-cam ads began to pop up about it. Will give it a fair shake when it drops on Steam, as more games in the PvE Looter Shooter space like Destiny and Borderlands is good for the genre (if it's done well)
Honestly just looks like an anthem/warframe clone.
P2w Korean game
Bro this is nexon, 100% gunna be pay to win.
I loved the beta. I’m really looking forward to this game
Looks absolutely terrible
3:39 this dude reminds me of Protea from Warframe with that turret and ammo resupply
Last
It’s pretty fun imo
Looks like a mobile game 🤣 what happened to games looking good?
It’s not that it looks like a mobile, but the fact is that mobile games have gotten that much better
I'll try it, but im not holding my breath. It'd be cool for WF to have some real competition.
@3:24 That dodge animation is not what I was expecting.
So much of this is just directly lifted from Warframe lol. Mod(ules), mod slot polarity, Mastery Rank, cracking 'relics' for the parts to build the ultimate (prime) versions of the weapons and descendants, etc, etc.
Just judging from your comments, you don't seem to have much experience with warframe, which this game is a 100% clone of. Sure there is some destiny flavors, but it is unabashedly warframe. For non warframe players this might seem like a huge grind fest but that gameplay loop is what's been keeping Warframe going for years. Coming at it from the perspective of a destiny player is probably going to disappoint you.
game looks okay... the big problem with it that I see (other than microtransactions, like others said) is that it won't have basically any sort of story and it won't have actual hard endgame content. Warframe suffered from the same problems at launch, and it still doesn't really have endgame content, except for one new weekly mission that's super difficult.
This ticks allot more Warframe boxes for me than Destiny, I love Warframe so I'm looking forward to playing this but I can see Destiny players not liking it tbh the mod system and the grind that will come with a f2p game.
It's kind of a small thing but I genuinely wish Cross would stop looking at every single live service, looter shooter, mmo or whatever equivalent as either "something like Destiny" or "the destiny killer". There's been way too many times he's gone into other games with this framing where it serves to only poison the well with how HE ultimately views the game or how he sways his viewers to view the game. & after a while it becomes unnecessary.
A lot of these games are nothing like Destiny. Have no intention to be anything like Destiny. & are looking to enter a space that is nowhere near Destiny.
Ive played the game multiple times. The combat is lack luster and you only shoot regular guns. Idk why every looter shooter that comes around cant have unique gun design like Destiny.
My expectations are pretty low for this game. even with the beta last year I thought the mission structure was pretty bland. Hopefully they've improved that.
This isnt destiny.
So i dont care.
Especially if the announcers cant speak English. Looks like discount warframe.
its a game that took all the best parts of other looter shooters: destiny, warframe, the division 2. and amped up those features. lets just hope there is a decent end game.
No raids is to bad but I like mmo aspects of d2 and ik alotta ppl don't
Taking the best elements of existing games doesn't mean you'll have a good game. That almost never works. The best games are those who innovated and added their own flair to stand out from the rest. Copy pasting existing gameplay mechanics and enhancing them just makes the game feel terribly bland, like you've played it before and not in a good way.
Looks like a mix of Outriders, Anthem, Warframe and Immortals of Aveum
I was never big on third person shooters
For those of us who played Warframe from the start and know how rough that was, I personally say this is in a far better state at beta than Warframe was at launch. Warframe today is a totally different beast than it once was at the start. First Descendant has the foundation set. Just needs to continue to to improve from here as Warframe did. Btw: this is not a Warframe killer. Its a game that can rurn into a great competitor. We all win. Destiny? Its been dead to me for years lol.
cross playing the p2w korean knockoff of warframe, before playing warframe, is criminal
warframe and genshin had a child
That just sounds like a worse warframe
Diabolical. Warframes origins comes out from Canada. This releases the day after Canada Day
I have high hopes for this as they had so much feed back and positivity they could do great things
Reminder that this game has kernel-level anti cheat.
Destiny 2’s idea of grinding is infantile compared to average Korean grinding.
