Better, Worse, or about the Same as The First Descendant

[Walmart Balrog]

I understand the differences, but in general terms of F2P 3rd person shooter how do people think it will compare?

[Tomatokek]

we really dont know since we havent had access to the cash shop. Both very different gameplay. hard to compare.

the first decendant more like warframe+destiny , Once human more like Fallout base building + the division style gameplay + survival genre

You shouldn't, you should actually stop playing video games and posting.

There's at least one very important difference between this game and TFD.

TFD is run by Nexon and this game is not.

Nexon got sued by the Korean government over lying to customers about cash shop item rates a few months ago. Google "Nexon Maplestory Lawsuit" if you want more details.

That lawsuit shows we should all expect anything Nexon releases to be a scam. If you expected TFD to be different you shouldn't have.

The company making this game is an unknown quantity. Maybe they'll try shady stuff with this game, maybe they won't. My point is that, unlike something released by Nexon, there's a chance this game won't be a scam.

I think the gacha is gonna be very harsh in this game. it will start out ok, because your gonna get a lot of currency for just completing basic task but i think by day 3 or 4, your gonna be stuck with sub par weapons.

The game was very fun when i played it (i beat everything up to the desert, took about a week) but i always knew the gacha was gonna hurt people feelings when the game came out.

You basically have to roll to get blueprints for the cool guns and gear, and you need more than 1 blueprint to max the gun/gear (if i remember right). I think you could find some of the gacha guns/gear out in the world though, but im sure the percent chance of finding those will be turned down for the real game.

TFD is super grindy as well and sometimes i feel like the 20% chance is a lie, BUT you cant just sit there and spend money until i get the drop. TFD also does the pay for speed crafting, which warframe does, i feel its super annoying to grind for hours,,, even days to then have to sit and have something craft for 4 to 16 hours.

I think both games are gonna charge heavy for cosmetics because it just the f2p nature.

I think they will be about the same when it comes to money and grind. i feel the gameplay (running around shooting your gun) is actually pretty similar. Once human your gonna be doing more base building and TFD your gonna be doing more stat building. I think it comes down to if you wanna have a cozy home or do you wanna have a power fantasy.

Depends on what people are looking for - personally Once Human is *way* more suited to my tastes, both in gameplay and concept.

First Descendant may be a decent game - but its just an offshoot of two other very popular games - and if Im going to play a game like that, I'd just stick with Warframe.

Hard to directly compare Once Human and First Descendant really - one is a survivalcraft/builder/rpg and the other is an action/looter-shooter. Theres a part of me that believes when the 'new' factor of TFD wears out - that game is going to drop off very quickly.

The gacha is actually pretty mild in this game compared to most, unless it is changed for release. This is how it works for anybody that doesn't know. You get a random set of blueprints, these are then fixed until you reroll/complete the set. I can't remember the exact numbers of blueprints but lets say 9 'c' tier 8 'b' tier 5 'a' tier and 3 's' tier. Every time you make a roll whichever blueprint you get is then removed from the set. Your chances of getting that 's' tier blueprint are now improved on the next roll. It is not a random chance with every roll like a standard gacha. Once you get an 's' tier blueprint (full blueprint not fragment) you then get an option to either reroll for another random set or continue in the current one to get whatever is remaining. It costs the same in game currency to reroll as it does just to play the gacha.

On release they are changing the available places you can get blueprints. You will be able to get them from bosses, silos and one other place which I can't remember as well as the gatcha. Yes it is still going to be a grind, but at least a more varied grind. Do you expect them to just give you everything in the first day and then put up with complaints about having nothing to do?

Legendarys are useless. best and only gun you have to use as of now is the Tamer. LMG which dishes out 180k DPS easily without mods.

OP seething and decided he was gonna post slurs on my Steam artwork.

That's a good way to put it. OH is an unknown, so hopefully the cash shop won't be as horrendous as TFD's is. I played TFD a little, but I couldn't stomach more than a couple hours. The Cash shop is part of it, yes. ($15 for a Descendant skin with no in-game way to earn it was disappointing, but not surprising). But also the storyline and delivery felt like a bad piece of fanfiction. Gunplay was alright, and graphics were pretty, but upgrades and the way equipment is handled felt needlessly complex.

This game, on the other hand felt a little slower paced, and story delivery felt a lot better than TFD - albeit a bit rough and unfinished. The atmosphere too was much more intriguing, and gave me a lot of Control and Secret World vibes. Sadly though I didn't get very far into the Demo from a few weeks ago since they didn't have full keyboard customization finished yet. You can remap some of your keybinds, but not all of them. I could work around that with my Keyboard software, but that opens up its own problems, and not everybody has that option available. I really hope they get that aspect finished soon.

better, the story makes more sense, the challenges are real, boss fights can be done solo but will require a group for the final ones.
Guns feel like guns, characters have a personality and the locations a lot more diverse.
Enemies feels boring but you have a nice asortment of them.
Many more things to do in the game.
Only problem is the 6 weeks wipe cycle, why? just why?
There is also a problem with the game forcing players to make a pve clan and a pvp clan to have faster progression.
It will be fun once but it's going to be a pay to win zerg clan rush

Why do you need to compare? Go watch some Youtube videos. Form your own opinion. Play or don't. Its not our job to tell you what's what.
