WARFRAME in 2024 is NOT what you expect

Warframe in 2023 where else can you be a ninja jumping gigaboss hunting space-faring weapon of energy and destruction fear me space enemies I am Unstoppable any second now I've got to be doing something wrong I don't remember this being that hard okay maybe not totally Unstoppable Warframe is developed by digital extremes and is a free-to-play third-person shooter RPG it's also multiplayer and online Warframe was initially launched in 2013 on PC and has also been released on Playstation Xbox and the Nintendo switch it's cross-platform so you can play with friends regardless of what platform they play on I've been recommending this game as a must try in all my top 10 free-to-play lists since I last played it but how is it held up what is the state of the game now now felt like the perfect time to revisit it to find out because Warframe just added its most massive expansion to date into very Paradox speaking of shout out to digital extremes for sponsoring this video and giving me the freedom to discuss the games I saw off it you can join me and play the game for free right now by clicking the link down in the description below alright Warframe in 2023 at last we meet again the last time I played you I got lost in a tornado a planet hopping Luke collecting Mania I simultaneously had no idea what I was doing and enjoyed the heck out of every second of it my return to Warframe in 2023 felt familiar but also pleasantly different the Staggering amount of content and updates still being poured into this game on a regular basis is something that makes even subscription-based MMOs squirm With Envy warframes work a bit like classes in other MMOs and this game now has over 50 warframes and Counting hell yeah hey come on baby come on yes come on when you start the game you are now presented with two options the very Paradox or the original solar system now the DeBary Paradox was a massive departure from the normal formula for Warframe rather than hopping from planet to planet like you normally do when you start if you choose the very path you will end up adventuring through a massive open world that turns the game into a roguelike what does that mean well as you quest or Adventure through the zone you will constantly be completing objectives and unlocking decrees decrease or Buffs that you can stack on your character while you are in the davary Paradox the longer you stay there the more decrees you unlock and the stronger you get you get some insanely powerful Buffs in here such as one that increases your move speed by 10 for each decree found you will be zooming to the point where eventually your Mount might even actually slow you down if you get on it the mount will still have its purposes because sometimes flying is just more useful than running no matter how fast you are hello darkness my old friend you'll have three options before you when you head to davary the very experience the lone story and the circuit personally my favorite was the very experience it lets you basically do all of the things there's a main quest and a tutorial that leads you through the Zone there's deep lore voice acting the full gamut you can do the main objectives or deviate to do the side objectives you can explore earn Collectibles fight a field boss and look for a secret Merchant to buy resources arcanes and more the circuit on the other hand is great for quick endless events this mode puts you in a Warframe to farm augments arcanes and the current weekly rotation of warframes and then there's a harder version known as steel path where you get access to the Incarnate adapter forms and that pretty much sums up the very Paradox path it's a massive new open world option for you to engage in every time you log into Warframe whether you're brand new to the game or a long time veteran then there's the original path which is the other 95 percent of the game I jumped into this as well while waiting for devary Paradox to release to see how it has held up Warframe starts out with some of the most impressive opening cinematics of any game out there it wastes absolutely no time getting you hooked on the game that is about to come I made a fresh account for this video to get the unadulterated 2023 new player experience so the first thing I had to do was choose my Warframe I went with Vault because I wanted to see how a magic leaning Warframe felt in a first person looter shooter volt specializes in the dark side that is he shoots lightning from his hands there is plenty of customizing you can do once you make it into the game you can equip different warframes and collect different dyes to go from a basic Warframe that looks like this all the way to something that looks a lot more personally customized like this or this the game begins I go full Darth Vader on the first few enemies I encounter and it feels good the next choice I have to make is between a bow staff or a sword I went with a sword last time so this time I'm gonna go with a massive stick look at this thing I can't wait to shove this up someone's Vault felt great right off the bat but I could feel that thick layer of rust all over me I could remember how my character was supposed to move through the game bullet jumping from one place to the next but my hands couldn't quite pull it off yet after smacking a few enemies I'm presented with another Choice a rifle or a bow the bow being labeled as the stealth option I've never been one for hiding from the enemy I'm much more of an enemy that you hear coming from three miles away so I went with the rifle regardless of how Rusty I was feeling at the mobility the Gunplay felt excellent I swear they do something in this game to make you feel like you have Godlike aim move over shroud if you've ever played an FPS before or felt like your aim was bad try this game I don't know why but my aim in Warframe is infinitely better than any other game ah yes my Nemesis the hardest part of Warframe I definitely walk up to my first hack and it turns out I totally forgot how to do this as rough as that hack was in no time I'd be doing them like this yeah so I don't suck at them forever I just wanted you to know that I'm not awful at video games usually just as the very Paradox has a new tutorial built into it this path has an intro as well and this intro didn't exist the last time I played Warframe it has seamlessly taught me how to use my abilities how to use my gun and my melee weapon it taught me that I can destroy greats to crawl through vents and it did it all without me even realizing that I was being tutorialed which means it was an absolutely perfectly executed tutorial next I fight the first mini boss who seems to have one purpose teach you to master your Mobility skill every time you attack him he teleports to the other side of the Arena running from me faster than I run from my responsibilities fair enough I was Rusty and needed the practice anyways eventually I end up on my ship your ship in Warframe is your Hub it's your home and it's the best staying home you can have in any game now hear me out first of all it's a spaceship so it's automatically epic second of all it has tons of stations inside that you can unlock to give you access to all kinds of crazy powerful tools there's your map quest Hub up front that lets you choose what planet to go to next you also unlock access to a trading post where you can trade with other players you unlock a crafting station that lets you craft any blueprints that you find while out on your missions These Blueprints can be all sorts of things from companions to entirely new warframes to rifles to shotguns or katanas or nearly any other weapon you can imagine oh and we can't forget the mod station the way you make your character unique is through mods that you slot into your armor or your weapons and your companions you can equip mods into almost anything and they can greatly amplify a certain type of Elemental damage or melee damage or you can go for more defensive mods by choosing ones that increase your health or your energy Shields and these are just the basic options there are tons of Crazy mod options in this game but that's not all there's even a station on this ship where I can incubate pets so that I can forget I don't have any friends who's a good boy what the hell is even that and of course there's a place where you can choose your Warframe by the way did I mention there are over 50 warframes for you to collect modify and upgrade oh I did okay well it's impressive so I think it's worth mentioning twice on top of that you can level up all of these things each Warframe each weapon and your pets by having them equipped when you kill stuff want to level up your sword equip it wanna level up your bow equip it wanna level up your girlfriend wait sorry never mind unfortunately there's still no equippable girlfriends in Warframe unless there are also three doors on the back of the ship that you will eventually unlock to find secrets on the other side as you progress through the game but I won't spoil that for you but you want to know what's on the other side don't you all this to say the ship kicks tail and unlocking all these bays and stations is one of my favorite things about the game and don't worry you unlock these one at a time so you never feel overwhelmed the game does an excellent job of drip feeding you these systems in a very natural way so that you can learn how to use them as you go in spite of that Warframe is a massive game so don't feel bad if you end up confused from time to time that's totally normal and the community is really good about helping when you have a question now that you understand why this spaceship is the coolest home you can have in any game let's continue our journey I jump straight into my first Quest and beat some bad guy booty I'm feeling good when I notice some free Prime loo what Warframe is giving you Octavia for free all you have to do is connect Prime I have never stolen my mom's Prime account so fast done the last time I played Warframe Octavia was brand new it destroyed enemies with what was essentially a walk boombox that played music yes I'm being serious this time people can create their own custom songs or import existing songs that you've probably heard before it's wild but unfortunately I'm lazy and not talented enough to do any of that so I'm going to enjoy the default song which happens to be a banger foreign like any Prime gaming Opera this will eventually expire so don't sleep on it if you want it Octavia is quite the grind to unlock normally so I switched to Octavia instantly I'll miss bolt and it's magic but now that's a lie I won't miss bolt at all Octavia is just too damn fun next the game sends me to an open world Zone called The Plains of eidolon and this is new all of the sudden the game feels like an MMO I'm in an open world Zone instead of a linear series of corridors on spaceships I'm walking around other players and NPCs in a large town this has got to be what inspired these same devs to start working on an MMORPG they're calling Soul frame details on the new MMORPG are light but it's using the same engine as Warframe and takes place in a different setting but that is a story for another video so be sure to subscribe to the channel so you're alerted when I post it this open world portion of the game was epic you can meet up with other players in town you can grab quests from the NPCs there and then head out into the planes if you want the game will automatically pair you with other people to play with while you're out on the planes while I was out there I kept getting attacked by these pesky flying enemies I mean they were Relentless I wanted nothing more to exact my revenge on every single one of them and their families sorry sorry too far but I couldn't help but think it would be so cool if the game would let me jump into their flying vehicles and Destroy every single one of them and then this happened [Music] and this was the moment I fell in love with the open world content in Warframe but it's not just jumping in vehicles you can go on hunts where you join up with a ton of other players to take down a massive enemy for some big loot and so that's exactly what I did I was still learning the robes but the people around me were quick to Res me when I got knocked down after this humbling experience I went back to clearing the solar system clearing One Planet then defeating the boss at the junction so that I could unlock the next planet there's something so fundamentally satisfying about this process now you might be asking what is the end game in Warframe well that definitely depends who you ask to some it's collecting and maxing out all of the warframes and weapons to others it's about clearing the map and others still it's a little thing the community refers to as fashion frame it took me a few hours but eventually I would discover the appearance section of Warframe I would mix and match colors like a five-year-old who just discovered crayons and it would be amazing I might have splurged and by lot of cosmetic or two or three I just wanted to be pretty so I unlocked some die packs as well I needed bright colors and then I needed white and black to go with those colors because that's how I roll as hard as I try every outfit I make in every game I play ends up being white or black mixed with a pop color I'm not ashamed but I'm honest anyways you get a ton of control over the appearance of everything your Warframe of course but also your weapons your companion and even your ship and just like that I came to accept it I was definitely a fashion frame and game kind of guy it's beautiful [Music] now I love Octavia but one of my games I saw this other character called Revenant and this dude has fire radiating from his body so obviously I have to try him this is the Warframe your girlfriend tells you you don't need to worry about [Music] oh yep it's official Revenant is amazing Revenant is what you get if you combined a helicopter propeller with an elemental storm he brings new meaning to the term spin to win after spending a little while upgrading my Warframe Revenant melted everything in my path I also had the ability to teleport through enemies to steal their Shields and their life and a couple of other abilities but I would have to stop talking about this skill to tell you about those ones so yeah so how is Warframe in 2023 I think it's safe to say it's better than it's ever been it was amazing the last time I played it and now it's just got more content more polish and an entirely new starting option for getting new players into the game it boasts a larger steam population than most of the big MMORPGs peaking at over 115 000 concurrent players online at once and that was just steam alone that number didn't include Xbox PlayStation or the switch player base this game is not only massive but it's also massively popular and after playing it it's easy to see why it's simply a ton of fun and so satisfying to jump into the game it's easy to pick up and play it for one hour one day or one week anytime I want there is no subscription or daily that I felt like I had to do or else I'd fall behind the community none of that just pick it up and play whenever I feel like this means you have time to play this game and live a life outside of the game yeah like have a girlfriend or a job or do chores and clean dishes and pay bills I'm definitely going to do all of those things and I'm definitely not going to log right back into Warframe when I'm done with this video because I'm definitely not addicted definitely not I think the very Paradox is going to be a great entry point for new players especially players that are more drawn to the open world games it's also going to be great for Veterans as it provides an entirely new way for them to farm out materials and warframes of course this video is sponsored but as I mentioned I had been recommending Warframe to people for years prior to them ever reaching out and offering
