Despite blowing up the Steam player charts, The First Descendant is having problems with reviews with them almost hitting “Mostly Negative”.

The monetization is weird and not cool.

Still, it’s fairly neat and fun to play. It’s like a better Anthem without flying.

i tried it briefly yesterday and it was janky and took forever to load shaders with every region change

how do they monetise?

Almost everything?

And they do the multiple currencies thing.

The grind isn’t all that heavy for characters, you get a second one almost immediately and can get more just by reading where their parts drop. It’s faster than Warframe even

Like WoW expansions?

i guess in order to make this kind of game you have to be a parasite at heart. the ever increasing assholery drove me away from destiny eventually haha

the community for that game was wild too, always defending yet another shameless money grab

Nexon has scummy monetization? Shocked

I feel at this point a lot of Gen Z isn’t even aware of some of those companies that ruined the MMO market.

not gen-z but I’ve never heard of nexon before

As a gen z myself, this isn’t universally true. Some of us were around when Maplestory was big and remember the shit show when they ruined it. Also rip combat arms
