*Got lots of folks saying, it just like Warframe. I have played very little of Warframe. Perhaps at some point, we'll give that game a full go too.*

The thing the killed Anthem was that the devs literally had no clue how to actually run a looter shooter game. When the game released, people were spamming a certain dungeon for loot, and the devs decided to patch it AND BAN EVERYONE WHO FARMED THAT DUNGEON. It was the most insane thing I ever seen

[SdotMAULER]

Whoever said "naw, make em buy the paint" is a true villain 😭

[adriandj]

This game is gonna make millions just on that Bunny skin alone.

The bakery is insane.

[hamilldavid]

If my wife walks into the room while I’m using that bunny outfit I’m dead lol

[weebthatlifts]

the darrell edit was so good it got me questioning my memory

The game needs to redo it's entire monetization system. It's main competitor, Warframe, has the exact same item as the Energy Activactor, the Orokin Reactor/Catalyst. Both increase the mod(ule) capacity of the character or weapon. The Energy Activator is worth 1200 caliber or around $25USD, a goddamn Orokin Catalyst/Reactor is 20 platinum... or like $1.67USD... technically even free if you just trade in the game (which is incredibly easy). As a F2P game, yes, it can monetize however it wants, but if it truly wants to live and not be a cash grab, then it has to change this and the other prevalent issues that Cross mentions.

You can lower the gun sounds by switching to the "Midnight Mode" sound preset in settings. it drastically lowers the gun sounds while leaving basically everything else intact.

Well it has lot of common point with warframe:
-you need to buy custom colors, but once unlock in warframe you can use it unlimited
-card in weapons and descendant is same thing as warframe
-the module is similar to arcane enhancement of warframe
-custom skin can also be purchase in warframe.
-like warframe mastery rank is important to progress in gearing and progressing in the game
-in warframe there are catalysor that double the point for mods on warframe and weapons. (Didn't check if the same thing exist on descendant)
-crafting is the same as warframe:launch the crafting go play. Warframe is like that and same as warframe, weapons need to be leveled.

People that want to rush the game or try to pay to rush will wasted there money because this game seem to went you to play first and not rush craft everything. They want you to be in a loop or playing, upgrading your stuff, do harder stuff, increasing mastery, unlocking new descendant to increase mastery. Same as warframe. You must no neglect to increase affinity on all weapons like warframe.

Like aztecross said, it has very sexy female descendant and it will do retention and cash flow because of sexy caracter like lost ark. Some people will throw cash at super sexy skin. It's easy cash grabber.

So overall this game is not like destiny. If you give a go at warframe you will see ressemblance with first descendant by a lot !

Imagine if Destiny had the same fanservice as The First Descendant.

“Yo, we need a Well!”

“…”

“I said we need a Well!”

“Sorry, I was distracted.”

9:59 Cross is not ready for corrupted Vor speech 😂

One more thing I can guarantee you that war frame has evolved dramatically since the last time you’ve played it the quality of life over there is excellent

[epicexx]

Did you guys notice he already had half of the materials for the ultimate bunny lol

[stalkholm]

9:05 The Developer: "How loud is a real life gunshot? Like 150dba, right? We should turn that down to something more reasonable for the game, like 100dba."

[shootlaugh]

Its a Nexxon game.... Monetization and sub par customer service are core values

[curiousoddity]

I can't believe Aztecross didn't mention Warframe at all at 3:30 when this game is borderline a 1:1 copy of WF

[redblue]

TL;DW
It's a D2 public event simulator + Warframe with somehow worse monetization and all the player friendly aspects removed + poor english voice acting + an absurd amount of *extremely* well done fanservice to compensate for the last three points.

[tombosley]

"I can't have that much shaking in front of me" Truer words have never been spoken. Lmao! I Subbed instantly

[starvinmarvin]

The fact that cross is watching that booty shake in a gun fight had be laughing for a bit. He's a national treasure 100%

[redbuno]

id say its fun but the monetization options are def too expensive, def agree
