"Agreed, it is truly one of those "easy to pick up, hard to master" games. You can go into it as deep as you want. I know some people who played long enough to get their favorite frame and build it and then just coasted like that. Others are going for max rank, others for very specific min/max builds for various tasks.

I have at least one of every frame up until Wisp I think, and while I do get into the modding for specific things, a lot of the time I just put on the obvious mods on a frame and go have fun. I only get into real specific weapon and frame builds if I see a problem with the build I have or I want to do something specific with one like Eidolons or a specific type of farming.

But you can play any way you like, it's only when you want to get the most out of a frame or weapon or want to do the most efficient farming that you really need to get serious about the mods and builds."

- I don't know, perhaps FTANK confused "Warframe" with some other game? Because it's exactly as you wrote...

Could be, but I do know of a few friends I tried to get into Warframe and it was pretty intimidating for them at first. Some stuck with it, some didn't. It's a completely different game than it was when I started back when the PS4 first released. It was bare-bones and only had the Corpus ship map tiles. I didn't know what the mods were for in the beginning and sold them for credits, lol.

Now there is the "new player experience" that introduces you into the game with a bit of a tutorial and gets the storyline going. Even with that it can be hard to get players into Warframe when we are experienced 25+ MR players with all the bells and whistles and they are struggling to make enough credits to buy the next blueprint, rank up a few weapons and understand how the mastery tests work. Some grasp it quickly, others are freaked out when they ask how to get something like my Rhino Prime with it's Palatine skin, vintage arcane helmet a handful of Forma, prime mods, etc. and can't see that far down the road, so to speak. Pile on the huge variety of weapons, warframes, sentinels, kubrow, kavats, operators, skins, formas, augment mods, etc and it can be overwhelming at first. The key is to take it in bite size pieces and only deal with what you have available and worry about the rest as it comes. Not always an easy task for a new player.

I can only speak for 2017 to 2019, but so I've heard...So one will either hate or love the game more or less.

I don't know man, I found it intimidating at first and so did my friends. Without regularly consulting the wiki pages and the forum I'd have been in the dark about a lot of stuff.

The in game help is piss poor and it's a hellishly deep and complex game with the whole modding system including rivens, adding forma and catalysts etc as well as the multiple forms of currency.

I'm not fond of these types of games but Warframe always delivers complete package's for gamers hope this expansion is another success as well.

Why Microsoft Putting Black Ops 6 On Game Pass Is The Ultimate Test

By putting Black Ops 6 on Game Pass, Microsoft plans to gauge its growth, pricing, and monetization changes, at the cost of less game sales.

If they have follow up games that are bangers, then this strategy will work. But if it’s Call of Duty followed another dead period then it won’t last.

crazyCoconuts1h ago

From MS financial perspective I think it may be the opposite.
A year of GamePass on PC is less than the price of two full price games. For all the people that would have bought COD for $70 but instead started subbing for GP, MS will get an extra $50/year which is good.
However, for each banger that MS puts out, that's lost potential revenue because the GP sub won't need to buy it.
So it only makes sense where the new GP customers would have otherwise not spent more money with MS... Which is the case if MS puts out low quality shovelware.

I don't see it working if Call of Duty makes less money and profits over time from gamepass 🤔

I dont understand why have it on it when we all know it sells with the name alone. Seems stupid to lose so much sales and $ just to have it on game pass. They basically shooting themselves in the foot with a already injured foot from all the other times they shoot themselves in the foot.

Garethvk3h ago

When the game does not hit 1 Billion in revenue in under two weeks they will wonder why and the next thing you know; Season Updates will no longer be free.

If it works CEOs and shareholders get a payday and if it doesn't even more studios get closed by MS so CEOs and shareholders get a payday.

It will sell on PC & PS but as long as COD is for rent on Gamepass it will not sell well on the XB platform. Most folks such as myself that like COD just for the campaign would rather rent it for that month instead of paying $70 plus tax for the game.

IAMRealHooman8m ago

Your smart.
its 70 for base plus 10 to 20 for a season pass plus another 30 for there better season pass,

VPN to buy games, fuck that if it's allowed or not, or just use a VPN and torrent what you can.

seanpitt231d 9h ago

I just cannot believe we haven't had a game from them this generation nearly 4 years in.. crazy!

Knightofelemia1d 14h ago

If the game is crap then yes there will always be negative feedback it comes with the territory. It's called word of mouth or welcome to the internet. Where the truth about a game comes out really fast whether the game is good or crap. If you can't handle the criticism because of a game then why publish the game. Why should people who never criticized or even played the game be punished? Vietnam has some really screwed up laws block Steam because they don't answer us rule. And going on a witch hunt with Steam please. Where's the proof, where's the evidence of this witch hunt. Somebody is butt hurt and has a Vietnamese Karen leading the witch hunt.
