I'll keep your kind offer in mind if I get stuck, which is pretty likely to happen. I certainly like it a lot more than the beta I downloaded yesterday and may or may not get time to post about this weekend. Of course, that one hasn't had the benefit of being in beta for five freakin' years!<br /><br />(Way to go on putting a working link in the comments! Really good if people can do that - I always think I should go back and edit the links in when people include urls but I rarely get around to doing it).Bhagpusshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03499162165023939880noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1510920011443550663.post-50664027358973010222018-07-11T13:03:08.106+01:002018-07-11T13:03:08.106+01:00I've read a lot vicariously about it.

It's very slick to play, lots of movement and nice controls, but I'm not sure small-team pug gameplay is for me - same issue I had with Destiny. If I had a solid group of friends to play with I'd probably be all over it, but my usual group aren't into first-person shooters. <br /><br />I just played it again now for only the second time and was at the "go do stuff" stage post tutorial. So I joined a couple of different coop maps. Actually the defence one was particularly good fun - simple objective and increasing difficulty with each repeat run. That said, from what I've read via Nomadic Gamers' blog, it sounds like a very grindy endless-gear-up game - so not my thing long term.

I didn't even know what it was, never heard of it other than when I saw Steam saying he was playing it, and he was always pretty casual about it, saying he liked to pop in few a few minutes a couple of times a week to "run a mission" for 5-10 minutes.<br /><br />Last December I was in "maintenance mode" on FFXIV and decided that since I had to take a week off work to burn out my vacation time for the year I had a lot of free time, so I figured "why not give this game Jason plays a try?"<br /><br />I was prepared to buy it as an early Christmas present to myself, but found it was F2P. This me think it was gonna suck -- I've never really liked F2P games. It took me about a week after I downloaded it before I finally gave it the college try and found I was in a shooter.... which type of game I've never really cared for either.<br /><br />And yet here we are now and I just got my 200-day login reward, I'm MR23 and still enjoying the heck out of the game. Somehow it grabbed me but good.<br /><br />I'm pkudude99 in-game (pc master race, of course) so feel free to send me a friend request. I'm on most evenings, and I'll be happy to play with you and show you things, toss a few mods at you that can help you early on, that kind of thing. If you want, of course. If not... I hope you like it and keep playing, but if not, that's how the cookie crumbles, right?<br /><br />FWIW, <a href="https://nomadicgamer.wordpress.com/2018/01/03/warframe-trying-something-different/" rel="nofollow">here's my 1st Impression post</a> I made after playing it for a week or so, if you care to see what I though of it back then.Magsonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05870589034885773525noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1510920011443550663.post-7054252378814240302018-07-10T09:08:43.232+01:002018-07-10T09:08:43.232+01:00Yes, it seems to be a bit of a sleeper hit.

I hadn't realized that was a thing. I had to drop the squad before I got pulled into the third mission because my partner was going so much faster than me and I wanted to explore. I can see the potential for group fun though.

But then I went back and looked at Valve's Best of 2017 list ( https://store.steampowered.com/best_of_2017 ) and it was there as well. Seems to be surprisingly popular five years in. I might have to look into it once the currently commencing WoW binge fades.Wilhelm Arcturushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07033496821708933394noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1510920011443550663.post-81393357745111531562018-07-09T23:07:43.938+01:002018-07-09T23:07:43.938+01:00The only times I've truly enjoyed playing Warf...The only times I've truly enjoyed playing Warframe was doing so with a group of friends. The solo play of the missions is fine. The group play with strangers is fine. But they both make yearn for better content (such as a single player game or pure co-op). <br /><br />However, with friends all of the Warframe combinations kind of feel like League of Legends with all of our different abilities at work. With the team aspect, it gave me more of a drive to shoot for certain combinations (and playing different Warframes is IMO critical to the enjoyment of the game).<br /><br />I can see how others would enjoy it as a standard solo or PUG MMO, but that was what got me the most mileage.MMO Brohttp://www.mmobro.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1510920011443550663.post-34936499163905960642018-07-09T19:30:43.379+01:002018-07-09T19:30:43.379+01:00I ended up taking "Mag", which has the a...I ended up taking "Mag", which has the abilities to pull people over onto the floor, root them, lower their shields, or pull people over but harder this time.<br /><br />In practice I've found surprisingly few situations where gosh I really wish that dude was on the floor right now, although there was a mission with tower-based snipers where it was terribly satisfying.XyzzySqrlhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07492223901575470508noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1510920011443550663.post-49048071891403970402018-07-09T18:59:10.818+01:002018-07-09T18:59:10.818+01:00In theory I like games and settings that explain l...In theory I like games and settings that explain little and let you work it all out for yourself. Or I used to. I don't seem to have quite the patience for it that I once did. I definitely prefer it to a lot of expository dialog and a forest of tool-tips though.<br /><br />The suit I chose is The Excalibur. I almost took The Volt because it looked like a ranged option but in the end I decided to go for the one that looked closest to easy-mode.

I looked at the walkthrough for that and it seems fairly short so I should be able to do that, I reckon. I like the graphics in the tunnels - th erain and water effects are good - so outdoors ought to be worth seeing.Bhagpusshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03499162165023939880noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1510920011443550663.post-89502811119349145092018-07-09T18:45:01.122+01:002018-07-09T18:45:01.122+01:00Interesting!

I assume that must've been after whatever kind of tutorial there was back then.<br /><br />My next achievement, "play for 2 hours", is marked March 24, 2016. I get "play for 10 hours" in June 2017. <br /><br />At this point I've put 50 hours in but I still really don't understand the game. Unlike you I go in very stealthy, so it takes me around an hour or so to clear a single mission. I chose what I believe must be the worst suit in the game to start, so I probably didn't get that "good for new players" mark. I have a huge slew of "mod" cards, which I don't really know how to properly use. I have fewer weapons than I'd really like, and most of them seem rather ineffective. I signed up with a corporation of merchants, and now a different cell of ninja seem to think I'm actually Satan in disguise because they keep sending people to kill me mid-mission. I made a hang glider that works in space but every time I deploy it I die almost instantly.<br /><br />Warframe is fun but please don't expect it to get MORE understandable.XyzzySqrlhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07492223901575470508noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1510920011443550663.post-20069157556329970652018-07-09T17:12:48.087+01:002018-07-09T17:12:48.087+01:00Seeing as they haven't even created the update...Seeing as they haven't even created the update for the announced Venus content yet, that'll take some doing to get there. :)<br /><br />Warframe is kinda like GW2 in the sense that it doesn't really guide you towards anything and leaves you to figure out what you want to do on your own. <br /><br />I'm still squarely in the "I don't know how to do this and I have no clue how to start, why are there no current updated guides I can understand?" stage for most things myself. Warframe is pretty darned esoteric that way.<br /><br />I'd suggest you should at least aim towards checking out Cetus/Plains of Eidolon - which should be located somewhere on Earth - before dropping the game. That's the 'new'-ish Landscape that feels somewhat different from the more claustrophobic tilesets.Jeromaihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02206083433625986970noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1510920011443550663.post-40825595528467195072018-07-09T17:12:03.893+01:002018-07-09T17:12:03.893+01:00Speaking of Firefall, Mark Kern had this to say of...Speaking of Firefall, Mark Kern had this to say of Warframe recently: https://twitter.com/Grummz/status/1015787440659992577Winged Nazgulhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11918542014509855076noreply@blogger.com
