Why Are Gamers ADDICTED To The First Descendant?

Ойындар

Stop me if you've heard this one before. A live-service looter shooter launches after a suitable, sometimes bordering on excessive, amount of hype. Its player counts, at least on Steam (perhaps other platforms as well), range from underwhelming to horrendous. Then it fades away, popping up occasionally with new seasonal content that barely musters any attention while many wonder how big-time publishers could expect more.
Marvel's Avengers, Suicide Squad: Kill the Justice League, and even Skull and Bones to an extent - it feels like we've seen some variation on this rule throughout the years. However, exceptions always exist. Helldivers 2 proved that a live service title still has commercial appeal, with over 12 million copies sold as of May. We now have Nexon's The First Descendant proving that not all looter shooters are doomed to obscurity.

I had the regular Bunny well developed with an ultimate skin (the evolving one, which is super cool). But I did it exactly to send a sign to the devs. THIS is what we want. THIS is what puts bread on your table, not the woke crap that only puts you at the mercy of very shaddy and heavily politicized investment funds. Give us what we, the real gamers, want, and we'll throw money at you.

    Don't get ahead of yourselves Gamingbolt. It's free to play, it's a new looter shooter. it has relatively fun gameplay mechanics, and there's a degree of waifu customizing. Avengers, Suicide Squad, and Skull and Bones - only Skull and Bones had any hype - and that died after year 2.5 of development hell and the cratering expectations for it. First Descendent doesn't belong in the conversation with those other 3 titles. Let's see how long it's actually going to keep momentum - think of all the games that had some hype and were wild successes - and think of all the games that came out of what FELT like nowhere and were wild successes - there's just not many that maintain that same degree of hype and player engagement over more than a few months from release and major content drops. Even Helldivers, greatly heralded by many, has "lost" a lot of the playerbase. This is just modern gaming / gamers.

What I can't say is how long I'll be doing it. Some of the required drops have a stupidly low drop rate and I can see myself tiring of running the same quest, dungeon, etc. 10+ times for it.

    Easy answer: It's a temporary alternative to Warframe and Destiny 2. It's something to try for a little while until Waframe and Destiny 2 get new updates or new, better looter-shooter games come out. The First Descendant is going to drop in popularity by the end of the year if they don't come up with something better than its subpar content and paper-thin storyline. It'll definitely die if it doesn't fix its greedy monetization. Korean developers don't seem to get this and seemingly will never get this. Most of their games have dropped in popularity and have flat out failed in less than 2 years because of garbage monetization.

    48 hours into it. I collected viessa, bunny, freyna and Sharon and have a good time with the game. My favorite aspects: - easy matchmaking (so easy to play with kind randoms) - fast loading between locations - crisp soundeffects - no too unfair RNG (at least in my case) - the game is a bit of a meditation (slow but steady progress every day) - good information about where to find which item and for what purpose - UE5 & FSR3 are on an okay level on Series X (not spectacular in a way like cyberpunk, but nice graphics) - coming from >50 hours Starfield (no bad game) it is a welcome speedrun in gameplay pace 😊 - the min max aspect and the grind part work well together for me. Tweaking and testing in the grind back and worth is fun.

    Interesting this should pop up in my feed, because its exactly this. I just decided to quit playing after the massively overleveled bossfight that requires me to grind for days for that 1% drop items, but at the same time, the game only allows 10 minutes to finish the boss, which is a subliminal message to me that i have to keep doing the same missions over and over again to get the right elemental stat for my modules or gun, or need to research and gather a plethora of resources to make an item that doesn't even guarantee me the stat I want. (weapon aughmentation loop)... And this happens halfway the game. If that constant end game meta will go forward from that point ... I think I can't enjoy this game anymore. It literally requists me to burn myself out doing the same things over and over again. And 2 factors make this even worse. As said: the very low drop chance for essential items, and the interception timer. Why in the world would you limit a boss fight like that ? Tactics matter over time. But it seems they want to force you to just play that grinding game and barely give you the damage output for that boss; So the thing that is actually supposed to make the game "addictive", actually turns me off because its too convoluted and forced on me. Thinks they dangle in your face like that such as layers upon layers or research time sinks and a huge web of item dependency ... This always rubs me the wrong way and turns me off. Though I loved the game over all, after a week I think i've had enough. 5 days grinding the same boss and barely finding stuff that makes my character better isn't exactly my kind of fun. As I am not a hamster. I'll only start playing again if they remove that bloody boss timer. That really pisses me off. I am even insulted by it. Like tactics and having a fun time doesn't matter, and it's all about the grind. It doesn't matter to me if I would spend 20 minutes beating that boss. But putting such a penalty .... i don't know, i've never seen this before but it seems pushy and I don't like it.

I have played games that has survived on 3-4 digit player numbers for years. Of course The First Descendant is essentially just a mix of Destiny 2's area design and Warframe's progression systems but can we deny that this game does exactly what it sets out to do? It's fun and free and you can easily play the other 2 games and have TFD as a secondary game.

    The beta was excellent but a little redundant. If the main story missions are better i will look into it. But ive avoided it to this point because i heard the microtransactions are unbearable. This analysis doesnt sound too bad and maybe i will try it out. I never got into destiny because i got into it way too late and there was way too much content leaving me confused as to where to begin.

    The main story missions are a mixed bag but decent overall and worth the play through. The cutscenes are very good though. Especially the one right after you beat the mission boss for the Echo Swamp. That was super cool. I'm probably 65 -70% through the campaign and I'm in no rush. Besides is FREE. If you just want to get through the story, you can do it without feeling compelled to spend money. If you want to go sweaty and play endgame to get every single descendant then max them out and all the other ultimate weapons, then you may have a problem lol. Either you're the most patient person in the world and don't care about the rush and keeping up with the try hards. Or you will break and spend money.

    People tossing around repetition like it's a bad thing lol. ALL of your favorite games has heavy repetition in them. Monster hunter, diablo, destiny, warframe, helldivers, palworld, cod, csgo, fortnite, street fighter, you get the point. Yet all these games have success despite how "repetitive" the game loop is, the point is how good the game loop is so it can be repetitive all day but as long as the loop is solid then why does that even matter? Of course the game has issues not related to monetization, but people act like those issues will never be adressed. The game only been out for a week and people just been spazzing out every chance they get.
