my two cents after playing the demo
Here is my honest opinion: I see a lot of potential, but what if got was a sad mess badly implemented . The area is empty AF. You barely do anything on the demo, so you can't even test it properly. The hoverbike SUCKS. It's clunky AF and is the most basic vehicle implementation I've ever seen in any game. Its only purpose is to stare at the girls butts and go from point A to B. That's it. You only get to choose Freyna, Bunny, or Nell for the test, which doesn't help and makes the demo even more boring and pointless bc Everything dies way too fast and way too easily with little effort or danger. ( and note that they said this area would be harder which is FALSE)

I hope the final release is better than what I just played, because my honest opinions is I'm not impressed at all, and I see a grim future for this season 3 if this will be all like this .

I do hope Nexon proves me wrong because I do want this game to evolve and become more fun.

Well they did mentioned what the demo would contain, not sure why it's a surprise.
Everything being easy on the demo is also due to the perfect stats.
bro.. its a demo. first time u play demo in a game? also its a shooting rpg game. not a racing game. stop crying 350 demands when all gameplay is 100% free then also cry PREMIUM skins (top quality) they are too expensive.
its a game. not a charity.

''and go from point A to B''

Isnt that a vehicles most important purpose ever since it was created ?
Its a demo showing you what will be in Axion plains or taste of it anyways o.o

So… you want enemies that will kill you every 5 seconds and you need to use cover all the time and spend 30 minutes to clear it? Go back in time for earlier solo Invasions. And it was a terrible experience. Yeah, baddies fall in seconds under aoe damage in demo, zero effort to clear it even with basic character. Maybe they’ll add challenge mode for people like you, who like to have souls like experience. Right now it’s balanced for fast gameplay and it’s ok.

Yeah we know what Demo is, I played Vindictus demo and put in over 20 hours in it. . . 5 min of game play is not a demo its a slap in a face.
then go back to call of duty, fallout 76, wow and gw2 , preorder 60euros expansions if you want 18 hours gameplay so called "demo"

the first descendant is 100% free gameplay
and that was a real demo.

i dont know why people whinning about the first descendant when they spend zero money in it.

its a game. not a charity

Sounds like more of some things already in game that are not liked
Just goes to show you cannot fix a game with problems by adding more content that gives more of the same

I haven't taken the survey yet because I want to play the demo a few more times, but my first impression is that I'm not exactly blown away. As already stated by the OP, it just feels like a huge mostly empty area. I guess that's necessary, otherwise the bike would be pointless. I don't know, I wasn't really feeling it on the bike, the implementation feels awfully mid. I'd much rather run and grapple hook around tbh. There is nothing about the bike that's anywhere near as fun as grappling hooking around.

As for the combat, it's pretty meh. I am a bit biased because I don't gravitate toward mobbers. I guess I shouldn't be surprised to see more very clearly mobber-focused gameplay added to a game already wildly mobber-focused. The new colossus is the one crumb they threw to players like me that find boss fights and colossi to be the best part of the game, pretty much everything else in the demo is specifically geared toward mobbers, like 80% of the game is already. The proof is right there in the character selection screen, our choices are Bunny (mobber), Freyna (mobber), and the new Descendant Nell. It's pretty telling when the devs force you to play a mobber that the content was specifically designed for mobbers. The thought of running through the Axiom Plains as someone like Hailey... That's gonna suck. Doesn't this game already have enough content where you're constantly getting swarmed by 100s of enemies? Apparently not.

On the bright side, I'm looking forward to playing as Nell some more. I'm not sure if her play style is going to click with me, but that was the part of the demo that I enjoyed the most, getting to play as Nell. That and the brief colossus fight excerpt.
Surely it can't be worse than Warframe's Atomicycles.

Nothing is worse than Atomicycle... I press the button and I dont know where will this crap go. With Hoverbike while pressing A, it goes left. But Id still prefer regular arcade-like driving. Something regular like from any car game

Every demonstration of a product is a demo. Shorter or longer. Showing more or less. Demo is demo. They showed us Nell, new weapons, new enemies, new missions mechanic and whole new battleground. Not a "slap" for sure. Didnt had to rush the mission, but look around and test weapons/skills
