Everything looks and feels generic when I played the beta but have downloaded it on PS5 to check out the full version. I hate Warframe style progression so not sure I will play it long anyway but keen to try something new anyway.

Glad to see an OT posted already. I'm really looking forward to getting into this. I played the beta and thought it was pretty good.

We all on on ULT Bunny?
Will anyone even be running anything else endgame?
She's been consistantly one of the best in every beta and is a joy to play with her mobility, the fact her ultimate is more revealing is an instant winner for me.

Here's the gif with ULT Bunny that I shared in the preview thread. Good luck out there, Descendants!

Can we please have such cool looking and designed characters in western RPGs / Actoin RPGs please? They don't even have to be half-naked even. Thank you.Here's the gif with ULT Bunny that I shared in the preview thread. Good luck out there, Descendants!

Characters look like Destiny knockoffs.
But I have it downloaded on my X, will give it a whirl. Would love a good looter shooter, haven’t played one since Outriders.

Worth checking out since it's free, I suppose.
Not expecting much though.

The pre-load is up right now. It's about 36 GB.

I will do a graphic later. Only got my phone cos I'm in a seedy trailer park waiting to get my gland gobbled.cormack12 Would you mind adding the text below or something like it to the top of the OT? I think centering the text would look best, but whatever formatting you like is fine.

well looks like PS+ gets a pack
apparently its crossplay and cross save so if you have plus make sure to pick it up even if you play on PC.

Some important info to manage expectations, for people who are looking forward to playing as Bunny:
Just so people don't get the wrong impression, while Bunny can be unlocked earlier in the game, her "ultimate" version outfit is sold separately as a paid cosmetic / "ultimate" version of the character. There will be a way to unlock the ultimate version of the character without paying, but it will likely take a lot more time and effort than a standard character unlock.
Also, Bunny is not the protagonist. When you start the game, you can choose from three starting characters, and she is not an option. In the beta, she was the first new descendant you could play after collecting the parts required to build her, pretty much like Warframe. The full version will likely do the same, and her character will probably introduce players to how you earn additional Descendants.

Skipped all the cutscenes, blew through the tutorial and jumped right into the first couple of super short missions. Gunplay is fun, but the menu lingo complexity is confusing and off putting.

PS5 here :
- Sound mixing is horrible, no "oomph", no bass, everything sounds tiny like it's coming out of a can.
- HDR implementation is shit, you get to decide between a washout image or a black crushed one, the in-game sliders are shit.
- Shooting feels weightless and without "oomph"
- Melee feels extremely weightless and also without "oomph"
- the grappling hook mechanic and generally speaking, the mobility actions/system feels tacked on.
- Enemies/AI is braindead
Graphic options :
-You can turn RT on only on Fidelity mode.
- Can't turn RT on with Frame generation set to ON.
-Balanced mode looks ok but is 40fps-ish, a no-go for shooters.
- Performance mode looks kinda rough with artifacts galore during movement/character hair especially with FSR turned on.
Nothing much has changed between the beta and the full release unfortunately.

FYI, it seems like there's a bug where people who buy their virtual currency get charged but don't actually receive the currency.

Looks to be like unlocking other descedants quicker, cosmetics and styles for the character (e.g. shark head, hairstyles etc)

I guess everybody started with the waifu...
Anyway, I played 2 hours and this is actually pretty good, basically Warframe meets Destiny.
Since I love both, I think I will play this a lot. The only bad thing I found so far is that there are some frame drops on the ps5 version, hopefully they can fix that.

Fair enough, I might play this for a bit if it's mostly about cosmetics

Lol, I capped exactly the same earlier. Hilarious, at least they can't say main character male matters any more

.I was playing as Viessa until I unlocked Bunny, and now I'm playing both girls
It's a very pretty looking game on PC maxed out. I don't think the betas had raytracing but the full version of the game does and it looks really nice. I played for a few hours enough to unlock Bunny and the controls feel great just like they did in the beta and the framerate is very smooth. Looking forward to playing this on my PS5 later today and seeing how it stacks up compared to the beta.

I love both of those characters too. I really enjoyed using them in the betas. I also had a lot of fun with Valby, and I can't wait to unlock her

Played the tutorial mission as Viessa during lunch break, and gonna dive more into it after work. That default ADS sensitivity for the X axis was real bad though so I had to adjust it a bit so I could aim properly my weapon.
