Show notes

Will the first descendant last as a live service game? Right now, it seems like the devs are actively trying to increase or fix things the community wants to see. Many people were scared they were going to do the opposite. So the question is not necessarily is the game fun? Can you grind it? Can you put a lot of hours in? Will you keep returning to the future, especially when they start adding new content? So right now, I think the game has what it takes, but the larger question is, will it be able to go the distance? The First Descendant is a third-person looter shooter powered by Unreal Engine 5. Become a Descendant. Fight for the survival of humanity. Descendants have unique abilities to tackle both solo and co-op missions. Up to 4 players use varied mechanics to defeat giant bosses. BE THE FIRST DESCENDANT!

Show notes

The recent look at Avowed gameplay is receiving mixed reactions, and still do not have an Avowed release date from Xbox. Sitting down with Kirk from @whatsnewvideogames - I myself have given my own Avowed gameplay reaction about the clunky feel and the lack of impact and player feedback. However, recent info sounds promising, so should they delay it to continue to address player feedback?

Avowed takes place in the same universe as Pillars of Eternity, in the world of Eora. The game is scheduled to be released in the second half of 2024 for Windows and Xbox Series X/S.
