Warframe has always been Barbie for mech weeboos. 🤌🏽
No, it’s animal crossing for metal gear rising fans. No, seriously. The core gameplay loop is farming for items to fill out your mastery index so that you can increase your mastery rank. Animal Crossing is basically slowly collecting items to fill out your Nook catalog. They’re basically the same. Warframe even has fishing!
I used to hold the Warframe world record for fastest “100% achievements” at just over 1,600 hours (mind you, I wasn’t rushing).
I stopped playing shortly after Deimos released (late 2020). Is it worth revisiting?
The main quest is pretty good, at least! The New War came out and resolved, same with Duviri and the return of the Zariman. I’m currently pretty excited for the actual for real 1999 timewarp featuring John Excalibur himself.
As for gameplay, I think its been on an upward trend since deimos. New warframe grinds usually come with a pity currency if you just can’t get a part to drop, and focus farming is a lot less of a pain.
I came back to the game half a year ago and I’ve been enjoying every update since. Seems like you enjoyed the game before, so I’d say it’s definitely worth a try.
We have some really cool stuff coming up this year, too.
They’ve been having nothing but wins for a year or two. Games at the best point it’s ever been imo! It’s actually a game I recommend now, though the rough point is still frame/weapon slots.
I always forget about slots… It’s a real stain on the game’s appeal for any collectors out there. It always feels bad to realize that you’ve got to put premium currency in or trash one of the items you had to grind out.
There’s a decent amount of slots for free through nightwave, twitch drops/gifts of the lotus of weapons/frames etc, but not enough to go the whole game on certainly, and new players won’t know how to get them. I’m LR4 without spending any money because I traded for plat a lot to buy slots, but that’s not something I expect people to do as a normal thing
Good
Space Daddy knows best
The whole concept should just die already.
