Hello ladies and gents a little bit late on my second grump of the week but I've decided to have five minutes away from the console to have a chat with the world.
Another good gaming week and one of those where lack of sleep catches up with me because I'm sucked in to amazing worlds. Talk about escapism I looked at the time while playing warframe and it was nearly 4am, oops!
Talking about warframe it's amazing and taken up most of my time just can't believe the content available for free, yeah it can be quite a grind but the rewards are worth it. Nothing like making a new item and clicking on the claim button!
Then it come to firewatch a game I paid for but really didn't take up any time at all. Both the partner and I felt a little ripped off and wished we could take back the purchase and put it elsewhere. Dont buy it, watch it online it will take less time that a lord of the rings movie and has zero repeatability. I have the full play through on my channel if you fancy a watch!
Next week though I should have played some far cry primal, finished episode four is strange and getting ready for the division!
OK folks. I decided I was going to prove to people who moan about there not being enough content a lesson and decided I was going to make a series of videos of free to play, straight out of the box games. This is something you have never been able to have on previous consoles but I have to admit freemium and pay to win games send me crazy. You normally have to spend more playing a freemium getting gems or doughnuts to actually get any game play which is usually more pricey that a brand new big budget game!
bad me for being set in my ways I guess because I have only managed to cover one of those games because it's just so good. This game is warframe and yeah you do have time to wait when building some items, and yeah there are accessories for a price but that really doesn't matter. What matters to me is gameplay and content which this game has in droves.
The only comparible game to this is destiny and in many ways it's similar. This is third person but it's a shooter/beat em up epic online rpg with all the loot styles, raids, and planets as destiny does. It even has the ship loading screen before you land on a planets!
Before I go on I must put a disclaimer here just in case I get hate mail. I was part of destiny from the beta, got the game and played it hard. I did get enjoyment out of it but it was a little disappointing. It ended far too soon, there seemed to be missing content, which made it a grind fest after rank 15, the planets were tiny maps (albeit beautiful) and the missions really didn't vary enough. Again I got my enjoyment out of the game but this was a massive buget title and it did fall short for the sixty quid I spent for it.
That really is my point, game companies keep saying that it is so expensive making these games and they can't make better. I do know a little what a game takes to make so I do in a way believe it but now, I'm calling shenanigans! With huge budgets and the best game creators in the world, why aren't these games being made with more content? They are pulling the wool over your eyes, I really believe that now.
A free to play game that doesn't require payment, have more variation, characters, weapons, missions, quests, upgrades, clan social areas, in game codex and far more! Yes I know destiny looked impressive and kudos to the art department but warframe looks amazing too!
Seriously folks this game is addictive, I have spent over ten hours and haven't conquered much at all. More than I can say for firewatch which cost £14.99 and was over in about three hours, but that's a discussion for another time. I may actually dare I say it? Yeah, I will definitely sink some cash in to warframe.
Watch the little demo video I've put here and tell me what you think, I also have a playlist with the first few hours.
When I was a young, more enthusiastic and less grumpy version of myself I would get consoles, my first being the original nes system. If I was lucky, coming from quite a large family I would have maybe one game. Most of the time and through the many generations of consoles I would buy the console first and rent some games.
when the ps3 came out, which was a very expensive console I couldn't afford a game and by this point the rental shops were pretty much gone. I did get a healthy collection in the end, especially with PS plus which is now hundreds of gigs worth of gaming goodies. So what about the ps4?
we have aload of people moaning that there aren't enough games and I think this is because the triple A games are being made at such a rate and quality that we are always hungry for more. However Sony's newest machine has a number of games on its free to play section the moment you boot up the console and not paying a penny! This would of sent ten year old me barmy with excitement.
so along with all the standard games I'm going to spend a little more time on the free to play selection and see what they are like. The first two I am trying is warframe and war thunder, two similar sounding games but very different. One is a space third person shooter the other a ww2 plane shooter.
I will give a review on both once I have delved more in to the nuts and bolts of the game but for now have a look at my first stream of warframe and let me know what you think of it.
As always folks comment, subscribe and like I would very much appreciate it!
