It's basically Mass Effect 3's multiplayer Co-op only with more polished graphics, better thought out classes, smoother animations, none of the stupid mass effect story, and less wasted time overall.

It's going to be a launch title for the PS4. Free right now. Pretty awesome looking.

What's special about that? I watched the youtube vid, and from what I saw:

weapons were generic: one melee, one ranged weapon, maybe a power or two, generic upgrades. Who cares if you can unlock a new weapon eventually if they are all generic?

level design was horrible: square room, followed by long corridor followed by bridge followed by square room, etc. everything was either dark or shiny, the decorations were just basic square storage containers, etc. There was nothing environmental or immersive.

enemies were not unique: either a melee enemy or a ranged enemy, both humanoid, no special tactics or ai, etc. I don't care about tiny stat changes or a slightly changed armor mesh. I want real, meaningful enemy diversity.

I also have a problem with the way they talked about the actual gameplay. Running up to someone and pushing attack, seeing random sparks, etc., isn't "rewarding". Having involved combat with parries, blocks, tactics like in dark souls is rewarding. The hacking system was increadibly boring and generic as well. At least in a game like skyrim what you are doing during lockpicking kind of correlates to what would actually be involved in the act. What does spinning blocks to line up have to do with hacking?

And WTF IS PAYING FOR REVIVES? SERIOUSLY?

This game has slightly better graphics than the previous generation games (as in smoke effects, lighting, and sparkles). But nothing else even looks remotely interesting.

No worse than Mass Effect 3.

Playing it, it just seems better than ME3. Seems smoother.

My friends and I are playing, it is a fun co-op game for us to run around in.

If you wish to remain cash free when playing the game is a real time sink and the grind can get a little annoying (maybe its just me since I have a lot less free time these days).

Since I dont play much I went ahead and dropped $50 to be a founder and get the Prime Warframe and Platinum. I dont regret it a single bit.

I watched some videos of it on YouTube, it looks somewhat fun but I'm completely turned off by the animations so far. I might still give it a try eventually but I really feel no urge to do so anytime soon. And, OP, if you compare it to ME3's MP mode then at least don't mention anything about the "stupid story", since there's no story in ME3 MP, in fact it's completely disconnected from the lore (let me know if you ever see an Awakened Collector Adept in the single-player).

lol so i went back...
I realized before i took a little break from the game i had everything for a SARYN.
So im currently building it.

Forma polarity is kinda interesting.
However i can see people getting MASSIVELY OVERPOWERED.
Well i have 3 forma in inventory waiting for my SARYN to hit lvl30 3 times over...


About the game...
There really isnt a story so to speak.
You just go out there... find groups to conquer the solar system.

the biggest thing is this game is free to play.

u can grind all the suits... u may need to buy some platinum to unlock inventory space for suits and weapons tho.

You can also grind all the weapons.
The game isnt based on pay to win, as u need to lvl the suits up to use some of the items.
