[@rockerfox7105]

23:10 This is what sets Warframe apart from 90% of the games out there. Most companies would sit there and go "oh, someone pulled the lever 200 times? Fuck it, keep it in". The fact that a company, any company, would give up money because they look at their player well being and go "we can't do that to people" is AMAZINGLY rare. I gotta give props to a decision like that. The gaming industry needs more people like Sheldon that understand the phrase "just because we can, doesn't mean we should".

[@abrtn00101]

No joke: I almost cried when he said that. It's the first really genuine "I care" phrase I've heard from a game developer in a really long time. It's the equivalent of waking up in a field of flowers after 10 years of living in a shithole.

[@desertbat55]

so sad that having a conscience is something considered praiseworthy in this industry...

[@weruurufu]

Real shit.

[@julianreed7]

I can guarantee you 99% of developers feel this way. The problem they would face at other companies (namely, those controlled by publishers), they don't have the autonomy to change it. Because Digital Extremes maintains independence, they have control over the business end of the operation. Whereas working for a big AAA publisher, they would be overruled, attempting to change a profitable sink.

[@kasino007]

Bungie: “You can’t do that.” DE: “Let’s embrace that.”

[@GiygasStarman]

I think it is very telling of the state of triple a gaming nowadays that a developer being *disappointed* in accidentally creating a super profitable slot machine, is NOT the norm.

[@mrhappyface4181]

@vin 950 It seems great that they removed a slot machine for the pets. But they didn't need it when they left in things like the mod packs (warframe.fandom.com/wiki/Mod_Pack). Literal lootboxes that charge up to $4 worth of plat, that the community KNOW are cancer. Despite years of complaints, they are still in the game. Because like you said, "its incredibly rare for any business to back away from something that is profitable for them".

[@ivdrip-r2r]

I doubt mod packs are profitable for them because almost nobody buys them, specially when something like Transmutation exists for free. I agree that they should be deleted, though; it's a noobtrap and many new players may fall for it.

[@mrhappyface4181]

@@ivdrip-r2r Attracting new players is a prime concern for DE. There should not be money traps like the mod packs for new players to fall into in the first place. While we can disagree whether or not they are profitable, the fact that we agree they should not exist at all (as does a large part of the community) means DE really should look into finally removing them, or at the very least people should not give DE such a free pass in terms of consumer relations. They are one (if not THE) best game development companies around. Would hate to see them become EA because no one spoke up.

[@ivdrip-r2r]

Hanlon's Razor: "Never attribute to malice that which is explained by incompetence". I don't think mod packs exist because DE wants to turn a profit off of clueless newbs, but because they simply forgot to remove it. I agree that the players should be more vocal, but more often than not, the forums are flodded with other things, and I think even most players forgot that mod packs existed to begin with.

[@UNEDeathGuard]

@@ivdrip-r2r Personally, instead of an all out removal of mod packs, they should have a limit on how many you can buy separately a day. Say the limit of 1 or 2 a day so new players are restrained from buying in bulk and wasting so much plat. Besides buying with plat there are other ways to get them. Baro is still able to sell them with currency earned in game. DE can still sell bundles that include packs (like the Starter Pack which is limited to once per account). While I have only been playing for a few months and rarely ever seen the Twitch Streams, DE could give packs out for those who watch the stream. I don't think that would be so detrimental to the WF economy and because its free, people won't be losing any Plat. Just an idea. With these options, DE wouldn't have to erase mod packs completely and the limit system will help make sure new players don't buy plat in large quantities to buy packs, thinking packs are the quickest way to get the best mods. Doing so, new players will also take to the internet, searching how to get more packs a day to bypass the limit and in doing so, discovering that its easier to just buy the mods from other players or do the missions themselves.

Btw I feel like I'm missing something why did you even dared me to spout out something? Did you feel I'm trashing wf?

[@estroll5034]

joe junior Never opened DOTA2, or heard about it's trinkets market? As for why I dare you, well, other than testing your grammar, it's because you use the (commonly derogatory) word "p2w" on a widely accepted module in the industry, and only admitted that most f2p has the so called aura when questioned, so I was worried people who never played wf would read your comment and thought it to be a game that can be described as "p2w-ish" compared to other games of this genre, when it's actually the opposite. TLDR: yup, you are trashing and I ain't taking

[@joejunior6214]

Estroll well thanks for correcting the dota aspect since Im just always watching people play it and friends get some extra cosmetics from passes so I never really went deep into it and on the grammar side I don't know why people check grammar on KZbin but in my view internet is like the local streets... You can do as much informal talks and lingos you want, I'm not here for business matters or business presentation. And the trashing part well it's over thinking in your part if you ask me, people on KZbin or people looking first into the game already calling it p2w without really realizing it due to how the market is presented. People see you can just buy a gun etc by Prem currency bought using irl money it's p2w (btw that is just abbreviation of pay-to-win nothing special about it) but guys who actually played knows it that you can farm then build it ,btw I play warframe but unlike others I recognized the fact that it gives the impression of being a p2w and acknowledge that it doesn't work the same as p2w games for the devs allowed gaining things in-game that can be bought by irl cash.

You had me at "bard class" and then some at "sequencer".

[@Towelietowel]

Her name is Octavia and she's an incredibly interesting take on the bard class. You make your own songs, with a beat, bass and melody. Then each part is its own ability, with the beat dealing AOE damage, the bass coming from a rolling ball of speakers that distracts enemies, and the melody gives various buffs based on doing actions in-sync with the music. For example, crouch-dancing with the music gives you an invisibility buff. It's complicated, but rewarding when you get it all to come together.

Rewatching this these days when James has stepped down as CEO, Steve has been promoted to take his place, Rebecca his and Megan hers is lovely. And man, hearing TotalBiscuit talk about the game brings a tear (or several) to my eye. It was through him I first heard of the game.

[@ThunderTheBlackShadowKitty]

This game had me break down crying. Really, I was shedding tears. I wasn't sure of it as first, I didn't know if I'd stay forever, but I knew it had potential. I could see it. It wasn't until I first visited the Void three years ago and saw the beautiful aesthetic along with the music that I became fully committed. In that moment I knew this was something big. What I didn't know was that I'd commit nearly 3,000 hours of my life to Warframe and counting. It's free to play, it ran perfectly on my potato PC, the microtransactions were fair, the community and friends I met were so helpful, it appealed to my personal tastes, and on top of all that it felt - and feels - so genuine. I feel like the studio has a real sense of humor and humanity to it, like they're people who want nothing more than to make an awesome videogame and have fun doing it. I bet all the publishers and gaming giants who turned down Digital Extremes feel stupid now, because Warframe is nothing short of a behemoth in its own right, laughing at them. Just in sheer size this game and its company are competing with some of the largest AAA studios on the planet, both in community engagement, game size and player count. Warframe is not only a giant "Fuck You" to the very concept of greed and standards, but also definitive proof that if you have a dream, a wish, you can get it done no matter what, like it can and WILL happen. We are an army of nearly 40 million registered losers who share a common vision, to be a part of one of the most incredible successes in gaming history. We stand proud and mock all those who doubt a person's dreams and wishes. We don't care about money, we don't care about the meta, we don't care about the industry standard the man sets, or any norm. All we care about is fun. We care about having the most badass gaming experience known to man. We stick next to eachother, never giving up on a common interest. This is our labor of love nearly 20 years in the making, and we fully intend to have it go until the end. Digital Extremes nearly died giving life to us, and all 40 million of us are eternally grateful because of that. We are Tenno. We are Warframe, and Digital Extremes is the caring mother that will continue to support this child they've birthed until death. The tidal wave is already crashing against the shore, and we can't be stopped. We'll continue bashing our way in until we've achieved world domination.

The moment Warframe realy got me, was the second dream quest. It was not only cinematic, but used the story potential within Warframe in an unexpected way. It surprised me, not only for the awesome lore, but also emotionaly. I was pretty disappointed by planes of eidolon, because the lore was not realy expanded, but it made me look up the wiki for that, so it kinda counts too^^. Sure you can change missions, add new ones, but what always sticks with me is the lore.

[@JohnSmith-op3qj]

For me, the Second Dream was almost poetic in its metaphor. All this time we've wondered what the Tenno are, and the answer? Kids masquerading as Warframe-clad warriors, *playing* as Warframes. The Tenno are literally us.

Second Dream was something that I ended up liking WAY more than I expected to.

Great work. I really liked the part where Rebecca talked about needing to throw curve-balls to the community. While I wasn't actively playing Warframe when they released the cinematic quests, when I did eventually get to them it was one of my most memorable gaming experiences. I thought I didn't care about the story of Warframe or my Tenno, they were just conduits for a badass space-ninja power fantasy. Then I finally reached The Second Dream quest, and became deeply invested in the story and who/what my Tenno is. The most recent cinematic quest, The Apostasy Prologue, provoked a strong emotional reaction from me. I encourage anyone trying Warframe to try to progress far enough to reach these quests, which are buried deep into the game's progression. They are worth the work. Also, the Plains of Eidolon was an excellent addition IMO, I absolutely love how the open world enhances the combat of the game. I have a catcher's glove ready for TennoCon 2018, eagerly awaiting DE's next curve-ball.

[@johnbowen7314]

Blast Tyrant as someone who has tried Warframe a couple of times, around PS4 launch and around a year ago, and bounced off both times, the quests sound just what Id like. It would be great if some existed to serve as an extended tutorial. The game does look crazy complex and daunting for new comers. I love the movement and look of the game but find myself wishing there was just a way to enjoy those aspects in a single player campaign, THEN maybe dip into the rest of what’s on offer.

[@jasondicioccio880]

Great as always! I didn't know about the genesis of warframe's movement system. That's a fascinating story, though. Most developers would have just nerfed it, I imagine.

[@SeanCrosser]

Jason DiCioccio Oh they did. There was a dip in the distance that coptering can get you, as they rather averaged it out so that every melee weapon can decently copter. Then they added aerial melee, which wasn't as good at covering distance, but was directional. Then bullet jumping came along, and good riddance to all those half-baked attempts.

[@ledf2012]

Maaan, I miss coptering! The moment I learned how to do it, it felt so fucking awesome. It can kinda hurt your left arm and your pinky after doing it a lot. The new parkour 2.0 system has less stress than coptering.

[@jasondicioccio880]

Sean Crosser ah, interesting. I guess the key is that they kept the general concept. The whole concept itself was a bug, so they could have just fixed it. In the end, though, they kept it, turning that former bug into what is now a polished feature, and one that's a defining characteristic of the Warframe experience. I love stories like that :)

[@SeanCrosser]

Jason DiCioccio Yeah, I can't imagine going back to how it was pre-copter. There were so many things added after, that basic run and jump (with stamina limit!!!!) would be so far away from what Warframe is.

[@hallowieners]

Yeah, although there's one part that was omitted and that was even the movement system that had coptering also had wall running and such. So even back then the movement system wasn't really like any other third person shooter game, besides maybe Gunz or something.

[@chettonex]

Best community management I've ever seen in the entire gaming industry (hands down). Warframe devs are super passionate about their game and they are really in touch with their community. Even veteran players are quite friendly with newbies and help them a lot. WF Wiki is possibly one of the best wikis ever made and is always updated just a few minutes after each update. Even Tennogen skins that could be seen as "paid mods" are incredibly successful and welcome by the community.

[@jeffrbake]

Even more, I view Tennogen as helping DE and also helping community members.

Only 2 more games fit this description perfectly. Old Runescape 2 or what we have as Oldschool Runescape now & Path of Exile.

[@dontuspowerus1093]

Warframe has a lot of nice people because they know the pain of learning the game. They know their brain's just can't handle it, like it's gonna explode. all the hardships that an old player got will think: Oh god...this game' progression system's bad....I have to find a new player and help him. And the new player will be blown away and starts to go away or starts to play the game. and if they play the game they will also think that they also need to help the others. it's like a master to student bond thing. Or maybe more like a family bond. THAT is the REAL BEAUTY of this game. It showed us that We're not just gamers. We're humans, we Thrive not just on our own. But with others around us. And Most of the player base do not see this as a reason of why DE do not update it's progression system. And maybe some of the developers did not notice it.

"What have we done... Obviously that was insanely profitable, but that's not what our design philosophy is about." I can't say I love this company. I can't say they inspire me. These things have all been said before. When something piques my interest this much, I put a lot of effort into really describing how I feel, striving to say something that hasn't been said. Sometimes, words can't describe that feeling, and I end up just making various hums and noises to express my interest. This is one of those times, to an extreme degree. This company means so much to me. In this life that has been shaped by video games more than anything else, more than religion, more than school or work, Digital Extremes has arrived in the open hangar of my peak years into gaming. They have interested me in the most valuable time something can interest me: the years in which I am rationally thinking about certain things, saying which decisions are good and bad and why they are that way. The years where my mental capacity can really intercept certain ideas and tightly attach to them. What I mean to say is that DE has piqued the peak of my interest. Thank you, to everyone who puts their time and effort into this company.

Those were credits for patreon supporters though, not people to offered up their footage. It was pretty cool seeing my footage in the video though, especially because I was like "Wait, that's my old color scheme... Like exactly, what are the chances... Oh wait that's me!"

Yep, his release of that video is the same day I downloaded warframe. Still playing!

[@primodragoneitaliano]

I got into Warframe because of a British friend who found about the game thanks to TB. I saw him play it and I was like "Hey, what's that game you're playing ?". (Almost) five years later and 2050 hours of Warframe later I'm still there and I don't think I'll ever leave :)

[@lesterramos6468]

I was a bit skeptical if this game was for me even after I watched TB's first impressions of it. However, Warframe appears to be one of those games that he kept coming back to every year. O_O

Imagine what would happen if PewDiePie made a Warframe video!

[@Auysssie]

I've only been playing this game for about a month or so and it's now one of my favorite games of all time. The amount of passion coming from the devs is truly admirable. I've also never seen a gaming community quite like Warframe's. So many kind people willing to help each other is something I have never really seen. It's really awesome to see where this game has come from, to be what it is now.

[@primodragoneitaliano]

Warframe is truly a game where you first step in out of curiosity and then realize that it's a really fun and different game which in turn entices you to stay. In the end when you look back, you realize that you're not gonna truly leave that newfound place ever. I started playing in April 2013 (14th of April to be specific) and I've never stopped playing the game. I did take breaks every now and then but will I truly leave the game ? I don't think so. So far I'm 2050 hours in the game (and no intention to stop!) and looking back it amuses me how I thought almost five years ago "Well it's a fun game but I doubt I'll play it much": Oh boy, I was soooo wrong!

[@zemi2750]

Know the feeling bud(3 years playing the game), people hear Warframe players talk and look at them with the weird eye look, so it's hard to explain this experience. Now!, I am a veteran and still very active gamer (I don't care, I play anything), and once I saw the relays, the community, the lingo used for the overall game, modding(yes! it requires a bit of math) & Meta synergy among frames in a team of 4.. I took a knee and said: "this one is it!.. what I've been looking for all those years". It's not because of hype, it's not because it's trendy... it's because it's a gelatin mix of everything good in all games into one... like I said; hard to describe. You have to try it and be as confused and amazed like me at this phenomenon, even after 3 years.

[@BuildInRobloxStyle]

What are riven mods if not a huge cash grab?

[@Darasilverdragon]

in what way are they a cash grab? They're random stuff that you get in-game from missions, and can re-roll with stuff you get in-game from other missions. The only thing rivens have to do with platinum is the booming player trading market that sprung up around them, which... WE all did, not DE. If rivens are a cash grab, then we, the community, turned it into that. DE didn't create them for that purpose.

[@BuildInRobloxStyle]

Literally everyone hated how rivens worked at first, if they weren't using it to make a lot of money they would have removed them and fixed the problems before releasing them. Here think of it this way, oh hey you can do sorties for a chance to get a riven that has a chance to be the right type of riven you want for a chance to have an easy challange for a chance to get the specific weapon you want for a chance to get good stats for a chance to farm kuva and reroll it OR just buy it from someone else with our in-game premium currency. Rivens have only made the game worse and they cost a shit ton because DE did not set any prices or even guideline for the riven market. I am glad its making a lot of money for DE because they are an overall a good company, but some of their choices are super rushed, scummy, or downright wrong. I mean you can decide if 110 million gross income after 50 million dollars spent on the company expenses in 2017 is a lot of money and thats before POE when a massive amount of new players joined and since then spent money on the game. Thats a shit ton of money left over and they are only getting more, just saying.

[@sirdeadlock]

The failing of Lunaro is that you made an air hockey table and gave it its own room... And then told people they don't get to pick their oppenent unless they make friends first. Air hockey or fooseball are not going to be the most popular activities on campus, but if you put them in places where people will be waiting around, people are extremely thankful for the distraction. Stick it in the relays. Maybe make a scaled down placement chamber in the dojo, like with the dueling room, but something you walk past while going other places. To make Lunaro a success, you need to think about how to make air hockey a success. If I wasn't allowed to feel like I won something with every mission; if I had to be better than veteran meta gamers, I would have given up a long time ago. Instead I get to make slow progress, which is what I need.

[@joshuajanssen]

Interesting idea. Have you posted this on their forum? I'm sure it will have a better chance of being seen than here.

[@UNSCPILOT]

I like this concept too, and I agree it would be good to put it in both relays and Dojos, something to do while you wait for people to repsond to trade offers that you can pop out of without hassle would make trading a little less dull than it can be at times

[@Strausburg]

The fact that the movement comes from an exploit makes my jaw drop. That is some next-level intuition to implement it as a feature. I've never seen this level of community involvement.

Thank god I started Warframe after January 10th (I started on January 13th) I was going to quit playing the closed beta exactly after 2 more days because of the pay wall but once they made things more free to play I decided to stay because of the game's potencial and became a Master Founder. :)

Happy to be giving Warframe a second try.

[@filanfyretracker]

Reb Ford is now the creative director on Warframe.

[@TOGSolid]

Grandmaster checking in. Seeing those shots of the old tree brought back a lot of memories of watching the game rapidly evolve as DE actively talked with us. I remember in the early days of the mod system that replaced the tree that there were some DE devs in the Design Council chat actively iterating on the mod system live, taking suggestions from us on how to improve it and seeing something small I had suggested end up in the game in a hot fix just a short while later was so damn cool. It's been one hell of a ride since those early days and it's incredible what Warframe has become.

[@DoktorWieg]

I remember when I got a closed beta invite in my mail back then, wondering what the heck was that game. I played a good while, even talked to friends about it which they dismissed at the time. Once I got to the point where the tree required money to power up your gear further, I stopped and forgot about it. Then a few months later, one of the friends I had talked to about Warframe sends me a message telling me to try the game, to which I respond "Why didn't you try it when I did?". He had apparently forgot entirely I had mentionned it. Went back into it then played on, buying the Master founder pack. This is literally one of my most played game on Steam. I've seen this game go from such humble beginnings to the state it is now. How ackward movement used to be and how the UI was archaic and somewhat inefficient. How the only tileset was very moody and dark, giving the impression you were inflitrating a world that was on the brink of despair. How everything felt barebone and cobbled together, as if it was just trying to find its footing. And honestly, there's something incredible in how the game evolved, both technically and on a meta level. Now, you go into missions bearing colors and accessories, wielding literally hundreds of different weapons. The world feels alive not only with the Lotus as the mission control but the NPCs, the relays, the quests and how, in a strange way, that world that was once on the brink is now having a second chance at life since the first few Tenno awakened. The setting and game evolved together, from something dark and desperate to something glorious and alive. Because the Tenno woke up and stood together; they fought back that darkness and despair and lit up the flame of hope back into the denizens of the system. It's why something like the Second Dream hit me so damn hard when it happened and it's also why it's so very satisfying that the gamble I took 5 years ago on that game paid off so well, along with all the others who did the same.

[@TOGSolid]

To this day Warframe is the only F2P game where I've never once felt like my money was wasted, even when I took a break. I gladly drop money on it not to get ahead, but to help keep the lights on because it's such a unique thing in the era of modern gaming and needs to keep going to serve as an example of how to be a good company. I did take a break from it for a while because the grind got a bit much for me (back when you had multiple layers of key farming to get to the corrupted mods) but I came back a few months ago and it's like night and day. So much of that experience from when I skipped out has been streamlined and cleaned up. It's astounding how much work DE has done to this game during my absence to fix most of my gripes. It is still an issue that you pretty much have to have the wiki open on a separate screen to look up where to get things and get better breakdowns on how abilities work, but thankfully the community has done a stellar job keeping breaking all that information down. The new quests were just astounding and coming back and experiencing The War Within felt so appropriate for how I was feeling about the game. Much like how the discovery of Spoiler Mode changes the underlying nature of the game's world, all the game changes have done the same mechanically. DE's love for the game and the community still shine through as brilliantly as it did on day one.

[@clockworklullaby8295]

"The Studio no longer takes Work For Hire contracts" Boy, thats a tear I had to shead, so happy for my boys and girls at DE. Im so proud of them.

[@QU67Reacher6]

I watched the first and second parts back to back, and halfway through part one I hopped into Warframe for the first time in months. I listened to the story of this independent studio desperately trying to get their vision made, how they almost fell apart, how Warframe was a hail mary shot in the dark as I was running through some of the game's 5 year anniversary event missions. Warframe is not my favorite game, and it annoys the hell out of me that it is a game of tons of systems kinda jankily bolted together, but goddamn after hearing the story behind this game and studio, I have the utmost respect for Digital Extremes and the people working there. They and their game are not perfect. They've had missteps. But I can't deny that there's a heart and soul behind Warframe that I don't see from a lot of other games or studios. Instead of dictating to their community how their game should be played, DE has a dialogue with the community. Sometimes systems don't change, but a lot of times they do. Keep at it DE. I'm not a ride or die fan of Warframe, just a casual one, but I wish y'all the best. Also, Sheldon Carter and anyone who's worked with him is amazing. I wasn't around when Kubrows got introduced, but it shows a genuine care for the community to pull a microtransaction that's proven to be profitable because of concern for players' well-being. I wish more studios would follow that example.

my clan mate use it for fun time and bond together

Which*

[@darkness988]

I personally enjoyed it quite a bit. I prefer other PvP, but I often find that my biggest limitation is finding other players, at least at the times I play.

[@cajungoat]

I haven't played Warframe but I was curious of DE's story since I used to be a UT fan. Thanks for your work Danny, this is series is excellent and I look forward to all of them.

[@doublevendetta]

spacejacket PLAY IT NOOOWWW. If you're on PC I will literally walk you through the beginning so that you're less confused. New player experience can be a little rough flying blind, still.

[@rossmcclellan5662]

I highly recommend playing it. Not just to check out the mechanics of the game but also to understand that EVERY frame, weapon, and companion have their own uniqueness that lends to the game's success.

[@reznoire]

They brought it up, but I kinda wish there was more of a plan to lessen the barrier of entry to new/returning players.

[@joshuasanford6934]

Yeah i was VERY overwhelmed at first. I even stopped playing for quite a few months but once i started to get the hang of things I felt as if the hole left in me from destiny has been completely refilled and im having tons of fun.

[@ckallerid]

Actually the funny thing is that they rely on the community to do that.

[@scrums4748]

VIRGINIA Guy honestly the warframe discord has really been what got me into the game, I’ve had people teach me and trade me good things basically for free. Only reason I have the slightest idea of what I’m doing in it.

[@Kevinofrepublic]

You can't reduce that barrier without taking out or removing mechanics of the game. The barrier is unfortunate for new and returning players but without it you lose content and losing content is taking a step backwards.

[@CadillacDeVilledElegance]

I played this game from a little after release, and stopped early into 2015. I came back only a week ago, and I will say, the learning curve is extremely unforgiving, but with support of people in the community, I was able to catch back up and have been enjoying myself thus far.

[@caleyemerald9068]

I came to watch this on the eve of Tennocon 2022, as a Warframe Content Creator, and it makes me so happy to see their huge success. I am so proud to be a part of the Warframe community. I ❤ Digital Extremes and the entire Warframe Team!

[@BolognaDemon]

God this makes me feel so good. Especially seeing how far things have come.

[@PaxSierra]

The New War, and the journey DE went on through the pandemic to make it, is surely worthy of a Part 3...???

[@EdwardHowton]

I've been playing for nearly as long as the game has existed. I missed the early 'supercharged' stuff but that's about it. I've never been involved much in the community stuff, I only watched a few of the early Dev streams, but.... ...I've gone to the second and third Tennocons, missing the first only because I was literally dying at the time. The more I play Warframe, the more I love it. The more I learn about DE, the more admiration and respect I have for them. I've never seen a game quite like it. I've never felt a connection like the one I have to this silly corridor shooter game gone interstellar. Because that just happened. Multi-pilot space battles between ships, complete with live boarding and infiltration in real time. A new planet to explore. And it's going to be on Nintendo Switch. It's a tiny little game from a tiny little company that did a few games I played a few times in a tiny little town (of, uh, 400k people) in Ontario, and they've gone from rats running in a maze of corridors shooting at things to letting you launch into space from the surface of Venus in order to blow up capital ships like the Millenium Falcon fighting off TIE fighters in Star Wars, someone piloting and friends manning the guns or repelling boarders. They're on Warframe 4. It's barely July, this came out in March, and it's already talking about a different, smaller game than what we'll soon have in a few more months. Every day I love the game a little bit more. I wish I'd been a Founder, not for the cool loot, but simply for the privilege of saying "I believed in this game when no-one else would." Because I did, but I decided and missed the deadline for being a Founder by two days after a few weeks of deliberation. That's how much this game grows on you. It feels like a lifelong friend. Maybe you think that sounds stupid, or that I'm exaggerating. To you I say: play the game. If it isn't your thing, that's okay. If you like the game, you'll get it someday.

[@mrcriticsable]

EdwardHowton glad that I'm not the only one who come back here after the reveal

[@EdwardHowton]

I hadn't actually heard about this video until Tennocon! One of the DE lighting guys at the photo booth (if you see this, hi and thanks!) mentioned it and I figured I'd check it out. It's pretty funny that it's already so outdated, but that's Warframe: it keeps growing.

[@theenergystation1295]

20:32 Speaking of boredom, Zanagoth's fishing spear raid! 😂

[@Zanagoth]

ayylmao

[@krynwomble3937]

Zanagoth I’m not gonna lie I just sat there staring at the screen as I watched you stare down Vay Hek with a goddamn spear before one shotting the meme himself. Just holy shit.

[@KoeSeer]

yo, it's the Zanagoth himself. love yourraid videos, sir.

[@rivengle]

Mining laser raid was legendary.

[@chrystalclear500]

My friend recommended me this documentary after I mentioned I'd started Warframe this year, and it's been a really enjoyable watch! but oh man this TotalBiscuit voice clip at 8:42 really hit me out of nowhere, even more when I realized this was published like a month before he announced his retirement into cancer palliative care...

[@user-ks1ze4io6b]

15:30 that just hit the high note for me. That is a beautiful wisdom to follow.
