Played on PS5

On release there was awful stutter. They fixed that thankfully (kudos to the devs). But there is nothing here worth staying for - the story is bland and been done a thousand times before, the characters are pretty, sure, but they get extremely boring to play with since they all have a very limited amount of bland abilities (some abilities are downright ugly to look at), and the game costs more compared to others of the same genre (like Destiny 2 where you get quality content for your money such as new planets to explore, or like Warframe where you pay much less and get much more for your money).

I smell a rat. A coin-hungry, corporate rat. These corporate types (not the game developers themselves of course) only care about the bottom-line- they have no passion, games are just a means to an end for them. Props to the devs who have managed to at least ship a working game which is somewhat fun to play at times (albeit only for a few hours until you put it down and realise it's something you'll never play again).

These half-assed, micro-transaction battle-pass ridden abominations need to stop, and it starts with the consumer. Just say no. Play good, content-rich games (co-op or singleplayer) which don't require an arm and a leg to get involved. I'm currently playing the Final Fantasy Remakes (1 and 2) on PS5 and they are so fun, the stories, the music and the visuals are all top notch, and hey, no micro-transactions!

Just play Destiny 2 or Warframe, or literally any of the others, if you want something more quality than this shovelware in a shiny costume.

You can't really give gaming advice when you're supporting the most anti-gaming company by using it's console.

You say this but you played a playstation game you basically contradicted what you said. Also why are you telling a complete stranger how to give gaming advice. I play games on playstation, I play games on PC, I played games on Xbox, I play games on Nintendo devices, I play sega games as well, and I play games on mobile devices aswell. So basically you are being mean to someone who plays on multiple devices. Also you hacked and cheated in games.

I gotta point out Destiny 2 removes content (due to being on console) constantly content you pay for.

Warframe when it first started was just 9 planets (think they still counted Pluto back then) and nothing but repetitive content. It took what was it 3 years before they transitioned into better content even many more years before it became what it is now.

Destiny 2 has Nimbus, which automatically cancels out any good that game ever had as it's all sucked into the black hole of unfunny punchable annoyance.

100% agree, Nimbus is the worst

On top of that, Destiny was originally $60, then it went F2P, then they started removing PAID content, then they started putting battle pass items in the shop, then they made numerous changes to the game that nobody asked for

The First Descendant is a brand new game, it started F2P and is going to need some polish to figure out where it's going just like all F2P games, on top of that, there's no necessary money transactions, the absolute worst thing the game has done has nuked progress 3 times, causing players to start fresh with each beta and initial release, which is part of why I haven't been playing much, because everything I'm doing has already been done 3 times
