If you havent seen people play a game and willingly grind it out for solely the characters i think you need to visit the warframe community

[@MookuuPC]

I used to play warframe heavy. The only issue is that it’s very intimidating for new or returning players. If this has the fun gameplay of warframe then I’m sold. I just hope it’s not as intimidating

[@creepykno4865]

@@MookuuPC so far for me I'm not sure how I feel about the game

[@riosasin3086]

I'm warframe veteran, dude you can't trade for a character part, to craft a character you have gacha on top of gacha without sharing reward, this is insane level of just 1 part

[@DamoDgames]

10 hours... One mission... 2 percent chance to get one piece you want... First Time??? Haha

[@JBoomerOfficial]

At launch like every other looter shooter live service game, will be decent at launch but we will see it grow and improve substantially over the months post release.

[@ReforgeGaming]

yup the true test is down the line

[@Codzombies68]

Ive heard that the story is weak but who cares if it sucks when the gameplay and loop pool and bosses are fun to fight.

[@newyorican7795]

this game is one of the first games to run HDR10+ also..Super Excited 4 this game!!

[@Litoh14]

The beta had a terrible HDR black level raise... hopefully they fixed it for launch.

[@xythiera7255]

No body realy cares the gameplay has to be fun and meaningfull thats the only thing.that matters looks never matter in reality to anybody

[@Litoh14]

@xythiera7255 This comment is so out of pocket and uncalled for. Not sure what you're trying to achieve here.

[@creepykno4865]

@@Litoh14 since you read what he said with your head in your ass he's saying that it doesn't matter how good a game looks if it plays terrible and isn't fun no one is going to engage with it for a long period of time

[@mikes6866]

Preinstalled it and ready to play later today. I hope it’s good. I definitely feel ready to step away from Elden Ring for a while.

[@IlIKRATOSIlI]

All they need to do is make anything in the market available in game not locked behind a mountain of time and grind

[@MrJeffreyrichards]

this is out soon right like a 1 day or so>?

[@egftw8991]

I love the grind. but I don't have to time for it these days. If I like the game I'd definitely spend here and there.

[@ryuhayabusa3540]

As long as mods aren't tied behind money

[@mikestrickland1892]

Everywhere says this comes out tomorrow but the PSN store says it's not available until 6/30

[@ushireborn]

the launch has been pretty awesome so far!

[@creepykno4865]

Ok so 35:50 I think that it won't take away from wanting to strive and unlock the things you want if there's a paying option I'm sure those who want to and are willing to grind for what they want will have a good experience if the loot system isn't absurd and just has enemy types or free roam areas specifically for what compene you need, Warframe has something just like this you either grind it or buy it its ultimately to you there's no really big advantage with either or option in my opinion

[@JonnyReturns]

Looks fun. Hopefully the end game is interesting.

[@Krampus6-1-6]

Game looks dope. I will try it tomorrow.

[@paulopontovaz]

Is there good melee combat in this game?

[@B-U-T-C-H-E-R]

Why does it have to be one or the other, can't people enjoy the game, and not have a problem throwing a bone here or there to the devs because they enjoy it. Maybe every 6 months you make a small purchase, something like that. That's assuming the monetization is fair

[@creepykno4865]

I dont think i can compare a game that has free story content to destiny 2, not every game has to kill another i believe games should just release and solely exist to fulfill the happiness of its community and audience. Besides destiny just kills itself with time theres no need for any "destiny killers"

[@jarretmangini9087]

Never played Destiny 2, but wasn't that Free to Play aswell

[@creepykno4865]

​@@jarretmangini9087free to try, if you want to enjoy most of its content you gotta cough out money for whatever story you wanna play and trust me when I say it isn't cheap so have fun

[@creepykno4865]

​@@jarretmangini9087if anything the game sounds more and more like Warframe and I like it

[@creepykno4865]

​@@jarretmangini9087destiny 2 is free to try (mostly you'll need your wallet)

[@SamuelPieter-x4e]

Yikes, nexon, nope nope nope stay away! Even if it's all great now, nexon has a history of allowing players to get hooked on the game first, being all f2p friendly and community centric....... however before you know it they turn the p2w knob to 10.000% They've done this with enough titles to land them on my blacklist.

[@reddragon2943]

Done Right? We will see. I feel that this game is gonna get really greedy. I hope that it won't. Cross your Fingers.

[@ReforgeGaming]

My main concern is the micros

[@creepykno4865]

I don't think they will it seems like they have a solid system, they've had many betas and a lot of criticism about the RNG systems and the devs listened and changed up many things so listening to their community is something they do and I think that alone will take them a mile ahead

[@garfusso]

@@creepykno4865yup

[@xythiera7255]

Its already greed to the max what you mean the only thing they can do to make it even more greedy is selling straight up weapons in the shop

[@xythiera7255]

​@@creepykno4865They do it now for launch were most money is made from micros

[@Svartie]

By Nexon. Hard pass..

[@cyric2010]

Im looking forward to the game. Hoping for hot girls and good gameplay.

[@arturmagomedov1088]

The Bunny ultimate outfit alone makes the game worth a try. I am sick and tired from the woke west and their androgynous looking creatures

[@creepykno4865]

The west is woke now?

[@seanguinn]

@@creepykno4865Yes. They purposely make female characters ugly

[@creepykno4865]

​@@seanguinnbut that isn't woke that's just their decision

[@ReforgeGaming]

um, okay lol

[@creepykno4865]

Also also if your sole purpose for trying this game is because of a bunny outfit just stop yourself man, playing a game for looks instead of what the gameplay is based around is just not a bright idea

[@antwerpsfinest9970]

Played like two hours and it’s bland as shyt lol. Plus first thing they wanna sell to you are some weird ahh maid and school girl skins lmao cringe ahh game

[@Dom0766]

I find this debate about micro transactions a bit pointless. This is a free game. People that have been gaming for a long time know what these games are about. The devs want to make money long term so the game will be made to make them money. What's to debate here?

[@briangueringer3673]

It feels like a super mid game to me. Prices are too high for things like the season pass. You have to spend more money than the pass costs to buy the pass. So they put you in the loop... I played it for about 5 hours and wasnt impressed its a more arcadey Anthem. It pretty but super thin on complexity. Hard pass for me. The store prices are already out of control....

[@Mike-pb7tk]

Game is absolute trash..

[@quinnbeasley94]

This game looks mid af

[@psvitaoled197]

It's a dead genre that already had its glory. Move on.

[@rllgr3356]

Maybe you should take your own advice and stop trying to hate watch videos of topics and genres that you think are dead.

[@psvitaoled197]

​@@rllgr3356I dont think anything, I remember when borderlands 2 launched, that hasn't happened since.

[@xythiera7255]

​@@rllgr3356The genre isnt dead just the Korean pay to win model will kill this game after coubel of months . Warframe is struggeling hard to get any new players to get into it becouse of the insane grind . The real question is will peopl keep playing after they got there meta loadouts

[@creepykno4865]

@@psvitaoled197 sounds like you're stuck up on old looter shooters I think you need to have a refresh on current ones that are active
