The First Descendant is being review bombed due to store issues and predatory monetization practices

The launch of The First Descendant has been anything but smooth, leading to the game being review bombed by players.

Honestly, the game just looks bang average anyway. Predatory monetization is more than enough to keep me well clear.

I've played one of the tests and dear lord was it repetitive.

I have a hours in to the game and while the gameplay loop is fine and fun at times, it's the goddamn greedy monetization of the game that kills it. Sure I can grind but who the hell wants to grind hundreds of hours and rely on RNG just to get one character? Also, I read a rumor that purchasable cosmetics don't unlock on all characters. It only unlocks on the character you choose. So if you want the same cosmetic that's available to other characters, you have to buy it separately for them too. That's bullshit. And cosmetics are expensive. Again, yes, it's just cosmetics but forcing people to pay extra to unlock the same thing for other characters is scummy as all hell.

The game is pretty damn mid. Feels very generic. Gave it a couple hours; really tried to get into it, but uninstalled it shortly after.

i'm stuck on the loading screen. not a good start for a free game.

Is it really review bombing if it is for valid criticism?

Saw this coming.

A game that can make you feel young again by playing it it feels like it's 2010 with it's old ass mechanics
Helldivers 2 blew the cobwebs off the PVE by having the action visceral the damage you cause is visual
The first descendant the animation is of a stun lock while you watch the massive pink bar above the enemy heads whittle away and what's the purpose of having NPC that die in 2 shots needing bars ?
What it is to feel young again
