If you have hard time fishing, use luminos dye, have in your inventory only melee weapon this way you can actually fish from archwing (get ride on an archwing with spear in ur hand)
Martín Gavilan the review was so mercilessly pointing out the faults without messing up why it is a fault and sure enough they noticed specially Scott....
To anyone watching it in 2022, the game still has all the same problems in this video give or take some small differences. Your first 50 hours will be a painful strain full of tons of research and frustration that simply isn't necessary. This game is weird for having a stunning central set of gameplay mechanics and polish with shells of rot and outdated design decisions that are no fun for new players and make them feel like they must work very hard. For what you ask? They have to do that very hard work just to know whats going on, or to get any of the real story, or to participate in anything meaningful. I have had games I loved that were done in less than 50 hours. Or where I enjoyed my 50 hours and felt like I paid my dues and learned and could enter the endgame. No other game this good is this frustrating or this unnecessarily harsh to new players. I'd even rate it as worse than Tarkov and other PvP games in that regard.
Its a pun. On Game Awards 2016 Rebecca Ford (one of DE devs and the voice of Lotus) made a mistake and said "over 26 million registered losers" instead of users.
I'll be honest, I was expecting a way more unbalanced review, not because of you but more because of the noise that you being on Warframe makes. Instead, you've proven to be a true professional, very nice and fair review here.
siralextraffo, yes he always stays bang on and balanced in his reviews that ive seen even if he loves a game, this is for me how all you tubers with voices that get hears and listed to should be, excellent work again skill, respect always for you
I would not say fair reviews are his creed. Its more that he can play a game, enjoy it, fan boy over it, but when it comes to actually reviewing, he can put that aside and think critically about his experiences with the game. Something most reviews seem unable to do.
To anyone who are new to warframe n just watched this video now ( 2019 ) , the whole focus system has been reworked (again ) and its now possible to max out all standing ( all schools not just one ) in about 2 month ( 2~3 week if u have no life n hunts eidolon all day , which i did do that) . So yeah... have fun hunting
Thanks for not spoiling the second Dream quest. Grinding towards it at the moment isn't very interesting, but wanna give the game up to that point a chance.
Same here.. I really want to love the game but honestly I don't like doing the same stuff over and over again but I really want to get to The Second Dream because I've seen everywhere that it's such a gamechanger. I'm so interested. Maybe I'll get into the game more until then (or hate the grind).
Thank you so much for this review! As a new player whom hasn't completed 2nd Dream & War Within, you have reinforced what I was feeling during my 1st bounty & free roam in the Plains. It is too soon for new players to get sidetracked by PoE, when there's so much that needs to be unlocked and experienced beforehand. I truly hope DE watches your review and takes your advice. Thank you again, and keep at it Tenno.
Hybrid Snake Stay out of the plains dude as much as possible for I'd say at least a few hundred hours. The game still has boundless content to keep you occupied until you're ready.
Animelytical, It really is the Endgame experience. PoE is very consuming with its own economy, resource grind, factions to rank up, etc. If you haven't completed the solar system & all your codex quests yet, you need to do that... Then you'll truly be prepared for the Plains.
*Standing ovation* Once again Skillup you have hit the nail on the head. I started playing this game a little over a month and a half and I definitely was overwhelmed with the amount of content needed to be strong. Then the plains hit..which I did go to at first but then like you said nothing I did there would help me progress so I stopped going. I think the strongest point you made was to fine tune this games systems and progression. I think it would be wise for DE to take a step back and refine this wonderful game. Anyway, Thanks for another amazing review friend!
Thank you for putting my totally jumbled mess of opinions and thoughts of PoE into a cohesive and structured narrative. Complete with a soothing voice and professional edit. I really love these psuedo documentaries that you do and I am really glad that I found you
If you weren't before, you're definitely a vet now, skill up. You've hit on perhaps the biggest criticism long time players have with Warframe--an unmet want for more depth in the broad variety of features Warframe has. While many of us love the game and know it to be great, this game would be without peer if DE revisited even a few core features, archwing, operator/focus, damage, etc. Two things, though. I understand DE's need to keep rolling out features. It doesn't immediately pay as much to rework old features than roll out new ones. Arguably, however, expanding these core features could prompt players to stay longer, and with it, invest more financially in the game. It may even cause just as many players to return to the game as new features bring in. It's a leap of faith in a player base that not even DE has yet to make, but I would strongly encourage them to do so, especially now. Secondly, there are some that argue that not holding a new player's hand is what has contributed to such a vibrant community. Shared struggle is one of the most effective ways to form strong bonds and altruism in any group; if things were too easy, no one would have a reason to interact with strangers. While they can do more to at least tell players how to embark on one of the many pathways they can take to get to veteran status, I wouldn't mind the game retaining an element of ambiguity to it. In this, I think DE rightly holds faith in the strength of its player community to help one another out. Oops, didn't mean to post an essay. I loved the review, both in its thoughtfulness and it's humour, and I'm looking forward to more of your content, skillup! Wishing you the best.
Revisiting existing eatures doesn't bring as much revenue as pushing out new content does, at least in a FTP game. It's a known fact. And the major reason they've made and are making this game is for profit.
T3hiluvatar One thing is the major reason and another thing is a basic need. They do this game because they wanted to make it, and that was always the major reason, but money is needed for everything. We live in a world where the money is the power that makes almost everything possible, and without it, no developer could survive. They need money, we need money, and if you work as a leader in any aspect of a company you will know that *if you wanna make more things, you will need more money* . But saying that DE does all this for profit... you didn't play the game or you don't know how things work. DE almost die making this game... is funny how people talk about greed with this company after that.
Yet another great review from Skill Up, i loved how you covered the issues and the things done right by DE as a whole, Plains of Eidolon is a big piece of content, overhyped by the community, and honestly as a long time players, having experienced lots of underwhilming expansions in other games, i kept my expectations down, and i'm glad i did, having my expectations lowered, i saw how DE handled their community and the issues at hand, totaling countless hotfixes and a giant amount of bug fixes, for such a small team, it is so incredible that they can achieve so much with just the power of your affection for the game, and even with the flaws and mishaps, Warframe should be crowned to set the example for future gaming, to see it as a passion and not like a way to milk money out of your playerbase. Cheers Skill Up, you make the Lotus proud, as all the Tenno.
Yaki Termocaos well said. It goes in the other direction of games with quality, care, paasion = eventually more money. If you care about the game you will spend money in it. Not the instant cash grab loot box filled games released now. Get your money up front then don't care if you ever play it again.
Indeed, DE keeping the community in focus, really brings together the game, making it stronger by every piece of content they introduce. I have to personally give props to them, and i'm quite sure Skill Up can agree, that the amount of toxicity in the game, being so low due to the low amount of competition, since PvP isn't the forte of the game, really makes the game enjoyable for any kind of player. Might be flawed in certain cases, but it just keeps getting better and the community is only helping making the game grow, in some way you could say that we're all pouring our heart and soul into Warframe, and it's such a beautiful sight that has never happened in gaming history. Never felt so honored to be a Tenno amongst my Tenno brother and sisters.
I do think the fishing is fun but the amount of time you have to spend doing it to get the resources you need feels out of balance to the point where it feels like a chore.
Tyler, it most certainly can feel like that. Having to farm all those other fishes to farm a particular fish with some bait most certainly can bog down an experience, but this is where I managed to get my solution. It will require dual monitors for it to work unfortunately. Fish while watching something else (it's like watching videos / listening to radio while waiting for the fish to take the bait). Of course, the sound will need to adjusted to hear the fish spawning, but it does give me a relaxing feel. As much as warframe is fun with its power fantasy and running-and-gunning, having something to dial that back a bit while also giving that feeling of progress must say, is kind of nice. Also, When I go fishing, I go fishing, no bounties (I mostly get all my standings from lungfish anyway, like Skill up said, the bounties themselves just don't give enough when a single night relaxing lungfish-fishing can get you the entire daily standing cap).
I basically do that, last weekend I propped up my tablet next to my monitor and watched Stranger Things while I listened for fish for a few hours. Problem is, I wanted to play Warframe, not watch Stranger Things while fishing in the background. Again, I would be absolutely cool with blowing 20-30 minutes fishing if that's what it took to get what I needed. Spending hours to make bait for a certain fish just took too long and I cringe at the thought of having to do it again.
Your reviews are great! I feel like I learn as much as I would from a documentary yet I'm still watching a video game news/reviews. Love how you tie in the history/context of the gaming industry and what people are saying about the game.
Every major warframe update starts out as a buggy, unbalanced mess. I ain't even mad (but that's probably because of my high tolerance due to playing MORE unbalanced messes known as Asian MMOs) I do agree that newbies have no business being in PoE. They would achieve much more progress just completing the rest of Warframe's content.
I agree. I was fishing yesterday and a relatively new player (MR4) came in, and apparently you have to do POE to unlock Eurasia according to that player. They should probably put a MR limit to it, or a quest requirement. So you have to complete the archwing, Second Stream, and War Within quests before you get access to Cetus and POE.
adolhein I started the game just a few days ago, and I can confirm this in all honesty. I saw that poe was recommended at lvls 5-10, so I figured I would do a bounty. I expected poe to be open world as an instance, rather than party instanced so I ended up exploring while my team was killing off everything for the bounty across the map. I like to go there now just to screw around and pass time if I'm not in a quest grinding mood, but they should definitely add more restrictions or advice. The lvl 5-10 recommendation is bad considering the mobs running around above lvl 20, and the eidolons being immensely strong (to a new player). Can't tell you how bad I felt for attacking a smaller eidolon and forcing my team to try to take care of it, and then having to run from it because we couldn't kill it (all low leveled players)
I'd just like to say that this review encapsulates everything I feel Digital Extremes needs to hear now. As a player of Warframe that has stuck with this game since back in update 7 years ago. I feel that I can say that this game has evolved into something incredible. I feel you captured that here, helped along by your perspective of someone who found this game in its earliest days long before I did, you are able to provide a viewpoint necessary to the next step for the game as a whole. Warframe as a whole needs more people like you Skill Up, people who are able to see just how far this game has come and are able to understand in way many cannot what needs to be the next step. Warframe has reached a point where a certain level of polish needs to be made systems refined and just taking the game where it is now, and pushing it to a point that will truly let it come into its own as the amazing game that all Tenno see it as. So keep on being awesome and here is to many more years of great content from both Warframe and you Mr. Skill Up.
Top quality content as always mate. Fortunately a handful of the issues you mentioned have already been addressed. That's just the nature of well made YT content, is that there is a bit of a delay. Constant hot fixes (near-on daily) addressing bugs and econ have been great. The gara - kuva thing is sorted. Non plains mats have been added to bounty loot tables to help new players. etc... Thanks for getting my into this glorious game. 'The Review' is legit the reason I checked it out for the first time, and now im many many hundred of hours in.
"What I'd like is for DE to put a freeze on all new systems and just improve on the ones they have" I literally had coffee shooting through my nose. We've been asking for that since 2013. It's NOT GOING TO HAPPEN. This is why I get upset at these glowing reviews. But you're the first one I've seen to actually point some of this shit out. It really sucks when a game has so much potential, yet needs a handful of adderol just to be realized into the greatness it could be. But it's never going to happen. You want to enjoy the game? Play the updates, and ride the new car smell every couple of months. That's the best you'll ever get.
@Skill Up, every review of you make i feel like there should be a standing ovation as the screen fades to black. the eloquence of your reviews is phenomenal, i always feel like you take me on a journey like the next big cinema blockbuster. keep up the good work
Honestly with most of the warframe youtubers having been so biased towards DE in their videos, I'm so happy to see you point out actual cons along with the pros for once. I know you're fairly new to the game and the community but as someone who's been playing for almost four and a half years now, you've demonstrated a really good understanding of the game as a whole. Overall, great review, and equally great delivery as always.
Watched about 9 of your videos and I’m thoroughly impressed with how intelligent you are, and how you make it easy to understand for the average person. Subscribed, keep up the wonderful and enlightening work, please. 😊
Thank you for this very balanced and well thought out review. I just started playing warframe, so i really appreciate the insights on all the things this game has to offer. And while I appreciate a game that doesn't spoon feed new players, there is a certain amount of explanation that would be helpful in easing in and retaining new players. I feel warframe really has a good balance of giving new players fun things to do and progress with, and giving us glimpses of all the end game content that we can build toward. Looking forward to spending lots of time playing this.
Love this game. Love your opinions. Love the fact that DE listens. Diamonds are made from pressure. I have faith that this game will continue to grow and learn.
DE listens? Scott (one of the devs) admitted to have watched this very video, up until... The first criticism appeared, the fragment about Jordas Verdict. Then he just dropped the video and didn't finish it.
Great an informative video! I have to figure out what all has changed in the game since I last played 2 years ago, but this video makes me excited to do so.
You crazy SoB! how do you manage to make this reviews so complete, interesting and compelling!? I loved everything you did here from the intro to the editing. Really, such in depth reviews like the ones you do are hard to find in youtube these days. Thank you for your hard work SkilUp!
Great video and review about a gfame I really don't understand nor I want to play. But your style and your way to present it, is fantastic and I really enjoyed watching this review (as I did with your other reviews). So keep up the good work, SkillUp :-)
That clip of your team using the mote amps to try bring down that teralyst really hurt my soul and took me back to when my team was using that amp for it. I cry every time.
Fair and balanced review! The great thing about Warframe and DE is that they are *constantly* working on everything, so even while Skill Up was putting together this video, everything was changing. A week from now, several things will be changed even more. People who have been unwavering in their negativity are kind of hilarious, because they keep playing anyway.. I think that speaks for itself, very loudly. ;)
Skill Up I only know you from your recent Warframe videos. From the first one I saw, I simply liked the way you present your content, so, whenever a video of yours show up on my feed, I simply watch it. But this time! This time you hit it right in the spot! It was like you entered my brain and spoke out my impressions and thoughts with better presentation skills. From the very beginning, even before the PoE launch I was literally screaming to my clam mates, "why would I want to be a space teenager when I can be an awesome space ninja with amazing abilities?", "Why the hell would I want to fish and mine instead of shooting enemies and blowing things up?" and "Those weapons from the new crafting system look really ugly, I hope they allow me to use skins on them". Well you didn't mention the last one but it wasn't so important. That review was very well made and (I really can't stress how much) on point. Good job!
Man, I just love your reviews; your way of carrying the viewer through the story you are telling is just amazing. I'm experienced enough in the game to know everything you could possibly say here but I can't stop watching because of how well done these are.
You do what so few other people do when they make a video about a game that they really like, you're willing to look under the hood to see what problems exist and offer help finding solutions so that the game can be made even better. As someone who's been playing since April of 2013, I love this game and it's become my absolute favorite game of all time. And I want to see it continue to live up to the hype that it builds in its player-base; to be able to look back on it without the need for rose-tinted glasses. It's great that DE has taken in interest in your channel and videos, it gives the players a stronger voice to help guide the DEv's in a better direction when they reach a new place they've never been before. Our efforts, the player's and developer's, go much further with your help.
a fucking sentient... which they actually hinted in a video. Im sorry for my swearing but you people need to set your expectations right. Umbra cinematic quest coming right after the biggest update ever is HIGHLY unlikely. Im just triggered because of the thought that people would soon believe this bullshit and be disappointed and BLAME DE for it.
Wonderful review through and through. I must say that i am increadibly impressed with how you reviewed the plains in such a in-depth and "full picture" way. And I very much agree with pretty much all the points you brought up. Only real difference being that ive enjoyed using operator mode now that focus 2.0 is out. I mean sure it doesnt really do anything when it comes to damage but ive found some great utility purposes which at least for me does further reinforce the power fantasy. Small things like switching to operator and void dashing right when you have to reload and is surrounded by enemies. Gets you out of the situation and does a little CC while your at it. And going into void mode when you need to revive a downed ally since you cant get harmed while in it. Obviously it could be way, way, waaaay better, but at least its something to have at the moment until the eventual updates comes.
I have the video paused at 5:14 right now. I paused to right the comment because of how in depth and thoughtful that introduction was. Rarely will I really watch a review that's more than 10 minutes fully. But right now I'm gonna buckle in for the next 30. This looks like you put a lot of thought and care into it just by the intro. Trying to decide if I should give this game another go right now. I have a feeling this review will give me my answer. Thanks.
And as a veteran player that’s what I and sooo many other long time players have been asking for. Quality. Just chill on adding things for a minute and focus on fine tuning the game. Been saying that in the forums for the longest. Thanks for this video. Maybe, just MAYBE they’ll listen this time.
Great job on this review. Voices many of the thoughts I had about his update; both the positives and negatives. However, the real reason I'm commenting is congratulate your much improved fashion frame. They're beautiful now.
Damn man! To me, you're are quickly becoming the best game critic, reviewer and analyst on all of UA-cam, maybe even the Internet as a whole! Whatever you're doing, its working my friend! Keep it up! And a giant TWO THUMBS UP!
Watching all your warframe reviews today at 2022 made me cry and proud of what DE have given us. I have been playing so much and decorating Dojo is my end game now. I havent spent a dime until last month. I feel I owe DE and I am OK to spend on plats to buy 128 formas to make my clan dojo beautiful.
6 років тому+11
Well, good to know they gonna bring Focus 2.5, more operator updates and fixes to the bounties. Also, never ever heard anyone complain about fishing in PoE tho.
its a matter of personal taste lol, fishing gets pretty easy and fun when you know how it works. it has the advantage of letting you farm exactly what you need instead of leaving to luck like mining... mining does need another look at.
6 років тому
Yeah Mining needs a look. I aint heard that word been used concerning Warframe in months until i just read ur reply, honestly.
Your reviews give such a detailed understanding of the systems, its clear how much, like the rest of you love gaming. Thank you for your work. All devs should watch your videos to see things from outside perspective.
Thanks for another insightful and eye opening video. Since I watched your 2017 review video from two months ago, I've become a daily Warframe player, and sunk 80+ hours into this brilliant game. And FYI - I'm only just NOW finishing the planetary map.
I finally finished The Second Dream, absolutely story spoiler free, and am so glad and surprised I did. The main reason I just stated that was because of you SkillUp. You have put a very good reason to place this spoiler warning in the video and so I skipped it for weeks as I grinded through the planets. But right before I played through The Second Dream I watched your 'Master Stroke' video and noticing your high praise for the quest (which was obviously not the full intent of the video as I had recognized), so I entered with high expectations, and was pleasantly indulged in the questline and how the new system was introduced which made me even more happy that you, and many others, had never spoiled any of the story in it. Once again, thank you for all the videos you create, they are all excelling in quality, and it has been a pleasure being a viewer of the talented creator you are.
Another great review! I'd love to see you make a review for neon genesis evangelion. You have some of the bests reviews I've seen on UA-cam and I feel like only you can truly do the series justice.
Some of the things you said took words out of my mouth! This review is fantastic. I'm close to MR 20 now and i've only been to the plains once because I feel I have too much to do outside of them, and because I don't want to fish for hours on straight XD
I really hope you do a video on dev stream 100, almost all of the negative points in this review were talked about and how they hope to address the issues. Except for the operator combat, which I agree doesn't feel good at all, and is of no use outside the eidolon fight.
I'm still waiting for the upcoming contents ,umbra and such. It's likely DE is aiming to make operator mode much more poweful than it is now, with a narrative about discovering potential or something. Right now operators with the right build can fly, so that's a start
As someone returning to this after Warframes third open world release, i find it kind of saddening. Most "bug" and "tuning" issues are largely resolved at this point, but the problem of "islands of content" that have no influence on your progression throughout other parts of the game is larger than ever. I just hope that DE after three open worlds (one for each faction) decides that enough is enough and instead focuses on integrating these systems into the wider game. It isn't nearly as flashy and doesn't get the same press coverage, but it is sorely needed.
They've slowly but surely been working on this. The Corpus Ship tileset rework featuring Solaris prisoners and void runs that can grant Fortuna rep is a step in that direction, but I will agree that more should be done. The easiest thing would be to broaden the types of things we can buy with standing gained from any of the areas. If people could buy relic packs or kuva with Fortuna standing, for instance, they could get two things that either improve their rivens or their collection of gear or both just buy choosing one of the open worlds they like best.
I played Warframe before you did and was on hiatus, Found your Channel cause of The Division, followed you ever since, Great content, well-thought points, I believe you are holding a key responsibility in the gaming industry and that responsibility you are upholding quite well, Keep it up!
First of: You've made quite a nice and detailed Review of the Plains, really appreciated watching it! Though I must say I'd have structured your footage a wee bit differently since on the one hand you tell people "beware of Spoilers for 2nd Dream" and on the other hand you have already showed some footage of you popping in and out of Operator mode ;) However, though I definitly DO agree that the guiding of the new players through the Warframe content NEEDS to be improved, I still think that introducing them early into the Plains and also the Gara-Quest was a smart thing to do, atleast in my opinion and here's why: - When you start visiting the Plains early in the game you can already get used to the new resources found in the plains: you aquire your first bait, hook and drill and start farming a small heap of resources for later use. That way you won't feel exhausted from having to farm 50 or more fish later, as we experienced players now have to when we want to rush through all the new goodies the patch has to offer, since you aquired them, one to five at a time, during your daylie 5-20 min visit to the plains during or after your first bounty. - You get your first "introduction" to a syndicate/ the syndicate System without the downside of making yourself an enemy faction, and eventhough you can't progress through the ranks very far (yet) you get to learn how to gain points, how much you can farm per day (Mastery Rank) and how to spend it. - When they start Spending their standing (since they don't have access to the higher rank tiers yet) on Zaw parts, though that system definitly needs a better introduction, especially that you need to gild in order to get MR exp, they can start experimenting with different weapon families and, as a byproduct, also gain some Masteryrank exp (up to 18k when they try all blades, which is huge for a youngling!) - While the Bounties themselves might be harder than other missions that are more suited for their current level, they won't get punished that much for failing a bounty/ incursion in the way that they are allowed to keep all the other standing/ exp/ loot they aquired until then (provided they make it to the exit, which should maybe be marked a bit more flashy on the map for them) where as in normal missions you loose everything if you fail the mission; - During the Gara Quest you get your first introduction to a few systems that will help you greatly later in the game: You get your first free Codex Scanners and get a short info on how to use them aswell as some (forced?) practice with them (this should greatly decrease the number of young tenno that get stuck on the node to Phobos with the Scan 3 cephalon fragments, provided they get what cephalon fragments are); You learn that a big bunch of Lore in Warframe is hidden behind scanable objects (Kuria, Cephalon Frags, enemies, thousand year fish,...) and to keep an eye out for secrets/ hidden stuff; When finished the quest you learn that you can aquire Warframes for free (without spending plat) by getting blueprints and building them, something many ppl still seem to not grasp at first; when you look for the Gara parts/ browse the bounty list you also discover that warframe parts/ special blueprints, mods and materials can be aquired though mission (/ in this case bounty rewards); furthermore they also get their first glance at a hub which might end up leading them towards grouping up with similar minded players, find/ join a clan or just make friendships, definitly more likely than with the drop-in-drop-out playstyle in normal missions.
Does that oversight on the part of the devs not tell you that no one really plays the game. It should have been obvious to anyone that using kuva was an error but it made it into the game.
yes this was an oversight but delivering PoE in october when they had the idea in febuary/march leaves too much to say, they rush this and yes they made mistakes but they didnt let it sit for too long i seen every patchnote since i played and 98% of the time i go "hey thats the bug i saw 2-3 days ago" when in some mmo i go "finally they fix the bug after X weeks" they are not a triple A company there are 100 people working on this they are allow to make some mistakes or oversights here and there I trust DE and that says too much, every other company feels like they see you as a number, as one more dollar, there are companies that make you feel like you are heard but DE has a golden star in that department since day 1 Ps. sorry for my english I hope I didnt make to many gramatical horrors
Great review! Exactly what I had in mind as a new player in Warframe. I was lucky enough to meet this guy that helps me throughout the game and his first advise when I met him on the plain? "Go back to Earth and finish all/most mission on planets first"
This is a a fantastic and very well out together review. I agree on pretty much every point. I hope de finds this video and takes it to heart great job

Skill Up IDK, maybe I need to revisit this game but I wasn't able get into the third person perspective.
If you have hard time fishing, use luminos dye, have in your inventory only melee weapon this way you can actually fish from archwing (get ride on an archwing with spear in ur hand)
Skill Up Good honest review!
When you said that Warframe was "growing its presence almost in secret" while doing stealth kills, I just had to smile. Brilliant vid.
I actually did that on purpose. So glad someone noticed haha.
I'm once again so impressed with how in depth and thoughtful your reviews are. Please never stop making videos my dude.
Sir Swag Big fan. Had no idea you played Warframe. When you cover Warframe on your channel, I will finally have a reason to live. Please daddy Swag.
Sir Swag I skrubskribed for more content
Would love to see warframe on your channel one day.
Sir Swag senpai, how do i embrace the bullshit in Warframe?
Cheers mate :)
Today's dev stream looked like they have watched your video. They acknowledge several of the points you have made. Very cool review.
Martín Gavilan the review was so mercilessly pointing out the faults without messing up why it is a fault and sure enough they noticed specially Scott....
part way through devstream 100 they mention skill up and his review
To anyone watching it in 2022, the game still has all the same problems in this video give or take some small differences. Your first 50 hours will be a painful strain full of tons of research and frustration that simply isn't necessary. This game is weird for having a stunning central set of gameplay mechanics and polish with shells of rot and outdated design decisions that are no fun for new players and make them feel like they must work very hard. For what you ask? They have to do that very hard work just to know whats going on, or to get any of the real story, or to participate in anything meaningful.
I have had games I loved that were done in less than 50 hours. Or where I enjoyed my 50 hours and felt like I paid my dues and learned and could enter the endgame.
No other game this good is this frustrating or this unnecessarily harsh to new players. I'd even rate it as worse than Tarkov and other PvP games in that regard.
@@MoonRegolithstill messed up in 2024?
4:12 "... when you have 35 million registred losers" that made me laugh
Thought I was the only one who caught that.
Its a pun. On Game Awards 2016 Rebecca Ford (one of DE devs and the voice of Lotus) made a mistake and said "over 26 million registered losers" instead of users.
BoiCleancut 😂
Freudian slip if I've ever heard one
BoiCleancut totally intentional. Space Mom wants us to go outside more.
I'll be honest, I was expecting a way more unbalanced review, not because of you but more because of the noise that you being on Warframe makes.
Instead, you've proven to be a true professional, very nice and fair review here.
siralextraffo, yes he always stays bang on and balanced in his reviews that ive seen even if he loves a game, this is for me how all you tubers with voices that get hears and listed to should be, excellent work again skill, respect always for you
You
I would not say fair reviews are his creed. Its more that he can play a game, enjoy it, fan boy over it, but when it comes to actually reviewing, he can put that aside and think critically about his experiences with the game. Something most reviews seem unable to do.
siralextraffo my sentiments exactly.
there is literally nothing to add to your comment, a rare situation on YT! nice
Can we just admit that this guy is the king of reviews?
Angry Joe is.
You obviously have never heard of Ben Yahtzee Croshaw...
Jokes, Filip Miucin is the best reviewer.
Look up a guy called "Whitelight"
No, there are many more that are also good
To anyone who are new to warframe n just watched this video now ( 2019 ) , the whole focus system has been reworked (again ) and its now possible to max out all standing ( all schools not just one ) in about 2 month ( 2~3 week if u have no life n hunts eidolon all day , which i did do that) . So yeah... have fun hunting
Help I can’t stop replaying the first 4 seconds

MrSeebs614 I can’t begin to express my gratitude to you for linking this
Sound Track haha you’re very welcome
Replay 4:13
Thanks for not spoiling the second Dream quest. Grinding towards it at the moment isn't very interesting, but wanna give the game up to that point a chance.
Let me know what you think when you're done :)
Will do, you did hype it up haha!
Max W Also do War Within after it before getting any spoilers.
You’ll t there I just did it at about 60 hours it’s real good xD
Same here.. I really want to love the game but honestly I don't like doing the same stuff over and over again but I really want to get to The Second Dream because I've seen everywhere that it's such a gamechanger. I'm so interested. Maybe I'll get into the game more until then (or hate the grind).
As usual 10/10 honest and accurate review. I'm very happy with your Warframe reviews and how you perfectly portray the game.
Thank you so much for this review! As a new player whom hasn't completed 2nd Dream & War Within, you have reinforced what I was feeling during my 1st bounty & free roam in the Plains. It is too soon for new players to get sidetracked by PoE, when there's so much that needs to be unlocked and experienced beforehand. I truly hope DE watches your review and takes your advice. Thank you again, and keep at it Tenno.
Hybrid Snake Stay out of the plains dude as much as possible for I'd say at least a few hundred hours. The game still has boundless content to keep you occupied until you're ready.
I suggest you to start completing the solar system and then trying to get some Prime Weapons, then go to PoE.
I really should be progressing...but I'm trying to make a machete zaw. It's...a lot
Animelytical, It really is the Endgame experience. PoE is very consuming with its own economy, resource grind, factions to rank up, etc. If you haven't completed the solar system & all your codex quests yet, you need to do that... Then you'll truly be prepared for the Plains.
*Standing ovation* Once again Skillup you have hit the nail on the head. I started playing this game a little over a month and a half and I definitely was overwhelmed with the amount of content needed to be strong. Then the plains hit..which I did go to at first but then like you said nothing I did there would help me progress so I stopped going. I think the strongest point you made was to fine tune this games systems and progression. I think it would be wise for DE to take a step back and refine this wonderful game. Anyway, Thanks for another amazing review friend!
Thanks for watching mate.
Thank you for putting my totally jumbled mess of opinions and thoughts of PoE into a cohesive and structured narrative. Complete with a soothing voice and professional edit. I really love these psuedo documentaries that you do and I am really glad that I found you
RzdAkira Yagami thanks for watching mate
If you weren't before, you're definitely a vet now, skill up. You've hit on perhaps the biggest criticism long time players have with Warframe--an unmet want for more depth in the broad variety of features Warframe has. While many of us love the game and know it to be great, this game would be without peer if DE revisited even a few core features, archwing, operator/focus, damage, etc.
Two things, though. I understand DE's need to keep rolling out features. It doesn't immediately pay as much to rework old features than roll out new ones. Arguably, however, expanding these core features could prompt players to stay longer, and with it, invest more financially in the game. It may even cause just as many players to return to the game as new features bring in. It's a leap of faith in a player base that not even DE has yet to make, but I would strongly encourage them to do so, especially now.
Secondly, there are some that argue that not holding a new player's hand is what has contributed to such a vibrant community. Shared struggle is one of the most effective ways to form strong bonds and altruism in any group; if things were too easy, no one would have a reason to interact with strangers. While they can do more to at least tell players how to embark on one of the many pathways they can take to get to veteran status, I wouldn't mind the game retaining an element of ambiguity to it. In this, I think DE rightly holds faith in the strength of its player community to help one another out.
Oops, didn't mean to post an essay. I loved the review, both in its thoughtfulness and it's humour, and I'm looking forward to more of your content, skillup! Wishing you the best.
Revisiting existing eatures doesn't bring as much revenue as pushing out new content does, at least in a FTP game. It's a known fact. And the major reason they've made and are making this game is for profit.
T3hIluvatar That’s the main reason any developer makes any game
T3hiluvatar One thing is the major reason and another thing is a basic need. They do this game because they wanted to make it, and that was always the major reason, but money is needed for everything. We live in a world where the money is the power that makes almost everything possible, and without it, no developer could survive. They need money, we need money, and if you work as a leader in any aspect of a company you will know that *if you wanna make more things, you will need more money* . But saying that DE does all this for profit... you didn't play the game or you don't know how things work.
DE almost die making this game... is funny how people talk about greed with this company after that.
*Activision:* Hey, guys! We’re adding more weapons to WW2! Guys?

i need to go to bathroom in the internet can you please help me ?

Yet another great review from Skill Up, i loved how you covered the issues and the things done right by DE as a whole, Plains of Eidolon is a big piece of content, overhyped by the community, and honestly as a long time players, having experienced lots of underwhilming expansions in other games, i kept my expectations down, and i'm glad i did, having my expectations lowered, i saw how DE handled their community and the issues at hand, totaling countless hotfixes and a giant amount of bug fixes, for such a small team, it is so incredible that they can achieve so much with just the power of your affection for the game, and even with the flaws and mishaps, Warframe should be crowned to set the example for future gaming, to see it as a passion and not like a way to milk money out of your playerbase.
Cheers Skill Up, you make the Lotus proud, as all the Tenno.
Yaki Termocaos well said.
It goes in the other direction of games with quality, care, paasion = eventually more money. If you care about the game you will spend money in it.
Not the instant cash grab loot box filled games released now. Get your money up front then don't care if you ever play it again.
Indeed, DE keeping the community in focus, really brings together the game, making it stronger by every piece of content they introduce. I have to personally give props to them, and i'm quite sure Skill Up can agree, that the amount of toxicity in the game, being so low due to the low amount of competition, since PvP isn't the forte of the game, really makes the game enjoyable for any kind of player.
Might be flawed in certain cases, but it just keeps getting better and the community is only helping making the game grow, in some way you could say that we're all pouring our heart and soul into Warframe, and it's such a beautiful sight that has never happened in gaming history. Never felt so honored to be a Tenno amongst my Tenno brother and sisters.
Warframe is the first game where fishing is fun to me
WfB.Subtraktor Harvest Moon was mine
I do think the fishing is fun but the amount of time you have to spend doing it to get the resources you need feels out of balance to the point where it feels like a chore.
Tyler, it most certainly can feel like that. Having to farm all those other fishes to farm a particular fish with some bait most certainly can bog down an experience, but this is where I managed to get my solution.
It will require dual monitors for it to work unfortunately. Fish while watching something else (it's like watching videos / listening to radio while waiting for the fish to take the bait). Of course, the sound will need to adjusted to hear the fish spawning, but it does give me a relaxing feel. As much as warframe is fun with its power fantasy and running-and-gunning, having something to dial that back a bit while also giving that feeling of progress must say, is kind of nice.
Also, When I go fishing, I go fishing, no bounties (I mostly get all my standings from lungfish anyway, like Skill up said, the bounties themselves just don't give enough when a single night relaxing lungfish-fishing can get you the entire daily standing cap).
I basically do that, last weekend I propped up my tablet next to my monitor and watched Stranger Things while I listened for fish for a few hours. Problem is, I wanted to play Warframe, not watch Stranger Things while fishing in the background. Again, I would be absolutely cool with blowing 20-30 minutes fishing if that's what it took to get what I needed. Spending hours to make bait for a certain fish just took too long and I cringe at the thought of having to do it again.
i just preordered far cry 5, they're fishing looks on point!
i literally paused and finished the 2nd dream to watch this video today
WHO DOES THAT!? ;-)
Im pretty sure I was really close or had just started it by then
Your reviews are great! I feel like I learn as much as I would from a documentary yet I'm still watching a video game news/reviews. Love how you tie in the history/context of the gaming industry and what people are saying about the game.
Every major warframe update starts out as a buggy, unbalanced mess. I ain't even mad (but that's probably because of my high tolerance due to playing MORE unbalanced messes known as Asian MMOs)
I do agree that newbies have no business being in PoE. They would achieve much more progress just completing the rest of Warframe's content.
adolhein but truly new players would be. Im also sure that poe opens up too early...
I agree. I was fishing yesterday and a relatively new player (MR4) came in, and apparently you have to do POE to unlock Eurasia according to that player. They should probably put a MR limit to it, or a quest requirement. So you have to complete the archwing, Second Stream, and War Within quests before you get access to Cetus and POE.
I'd say it should open up after Stolen Dreams -- Maroo just tells you she has some contacts on Earth and opens your path to Cetus.
adolhein I started the game just a few days ago, and I can confirm this in all honesty. I saw that poe was recommended at lvls 5-10, so I figured I would do a bounty. I expected poe to be open world as an instance, rather than party instanced so I ended up exploring while my team was killing off everything for the bounty across the map. I like to go there now just to screw around and pass time if I'm not in a quest grinding mood, but they should definitely add more restrictions or advice. The lvl 5-10 recommendation is bad considering the mobs running around above lvl 20, and the eidolons being immensely strong (to a new player). Can't tell you how bad I felt for attacking a smaller eidolon and forcing my team to try to take care of it, and then having to run from it because we couldn't kill it (all low leveled players)
DE is great group of people and will fix the bugs. About the only devs i have faith in anymore
so the add that popped up after the 'fishing is endgame' comment...was an add for a local fish and chips chain......0_o
Damn, I wish I had something like this in my vicinity... I love fish and chips. >.>
I'd just like to say that this review encapsulates everything I feel Digital Extremes needs to hear now. As a player of Warframe that has stuck with this game since back in update 7 years ago. I feel that I can say that this game has evolved into something incredible. I feel you captured that here, helped along by your perspective of someone who found this game in its earliest days long before I did, you are able to provide a viewpoint necessary to the next step for the game as a whole.
Warframe as a whole needs more people like you Skill Up, people who are able to see just how far this game has come and are able to understand in way many cannot what needs to be the next step. Warframe has reached a point where a certain level of polish needs to be made systems refined and just taking the game where it is now, and pushing it to a point that will truly let it come into its own as the amazing game that all Tenno see it as.
So keep on being awesome and here is to many more years of great content from both Warframe and you Mr. Skill Up.
Great reviews. I love how much dedication goes into the writing and research of these. Thanks for your effort.
4:12 35,000,000 registered losers?

Jacob Patrick meme
Yes sorry
That very last second lmao
Angel Sapon waited for it....
Was not disappointed. :)
Watching your reviews is a pleasure. They're in depth and really cover the topic. Continue the good job!
I really like the buildup you added to this video when you introduced this as a review.... really nice work man. You've earned my subscription.
Electronics ActiSoft is the stuff of nightmares. WHY?!
White Void Where you fish lootboxes don't forget fishing lootboxes.
"It's in the lootbox" was hilarious.
How much worse this has become in just a month.
Top quality content as always mate.
Fortunately a handful of the issues you mentioned have already been addressed. That's just the nature of well made YT content, is that there is a bit of a delay.
Constant hot fixes (near-on daily) addressing bugs and econ have been great. The gara - kuva thing is sorted. Non plains mats have been added to bounty loot tables to help new players. etc...
Thanks for getting my into this glorious game. 'The Review' is legit the reason I checked it out for the first time, and now im many many hundred of hours in.
"What I'd like is for DE to put a freeze on all new systems and just improve on the ones they have" I literally had coffee shooting through my nose. We've been asking for that since 2013. It's NOT GOING TO HAPPEN. This is why I get upset at these glowing reviews. But you're the first one I've seen to actually point some of this shit out. It really sucks when a game has so much potential, yet needs a handful of adderol just to be realized into the greatness it could be. But it's never going to happen. You want to enjoy the game? Play the updates, and ride the new car smell every couple of months. That's the best you'll ever get.
Excellent job. Well thought out and produced. Your reviews are some of the best I’ve watched.
@Skill Up, every review of you make i feel like there should be a standing ovation as the screen fades to black. the eloquence of your reviews is phenomenal, i always feel like you take me on a journey like the next big cinema blockbuster. keep up the good work
djmartrix very kind mate
Honestly with most of the warframe youtubers having been so biased towards DE in their videos, I'm so happy to see you point out actual cons along with the pros for once. I know you're fairly new to the game and the community but as someone who's been playing for almost four and a half years now, you've demonstrated a really good understanding of the game as a whole. Overall, great review, and equally great delivery as always.
Watched about 9 of your videos and I’m thoroughly impressed with how intelligent you are, and how you make it easy to understand for the average person. Subscribed, keep up the wonderful and enlightening work, please. 😊
Thank you for this very balanced and well thought out review. I just started playing warframe, so i really appreciate the insights on all the things this game has to offer. And while I appreciate a game that doesn't spoon feed new players, there is a certain amount of explanation that would be helpful in easing in and retaining new players. I feel warframe really has a good balance of giving new players fun things to do and progress with, and giving us glimpses of all the end game content that we can build toward. Looking forward to spending lots of time playing this.
DE, Please take something away from this, you once did "The year of quality", you need to do that again
GuidedArms It is the year of quality.
What was the "year of quality"? When was it? Can you elaborate? I am curious.
wasnt this year the yeat all the Qol changes happened? so this year would still be the year of quiality
a year dedicated to just polish up the game. depending on what we tell them needed polishing and some things they wanted to polish themselves.
DE is on top of it
Love this game. Love your opinions. Love the fact that DE listens. Diamonds are made from pressure. I have faith that this game will continue to grow and learn.
it has and always been, I hope they keep it up
DE listens, SOMETIMES.
DE listens?
Scott (one of the devs) admitted to have watched this very video, up until...
The first criticism appeared, the fragment about Jordas Verdict.
Then he just dropped the video and didn't finish it.
Great an informative video! I have to figure out what all has changed in the game since I last played 2 years ago, but this video makes me excited to do so.
"Electronic ActiSoft, it`s in the lootbox"
I appreciate the balance of your reviews. You do a good job of tempering your passion with the facts.
You crazy SoB! how do you manage to make this reviews so complete, interesting and compelling!?
I loved everything you did here from the intro to the editing. Really, such in depth reviews like the ones you do are hard to find in youtube these days. Thank you for your hard work SkilUp!
+Nicolás Dimov cheers mate
Great video and review about a gfame I really don't understand nor I want to play. But your style and your way to present it, is fantastic and I really enjoyed watching this review (as I did with your other reviews). So keep up the good work, SkillUp :-)
That clip of your team using the mote amps to try bring down that teralyst really hurt my soul and took me back to when my team was using that amp for it. I cry every time.
My God every review intro gets me so excited about watching the review.
Best game reviewer in UA-cam or the internet Rn
This game has come along way it's insane how far this game has come thanks for this review skill
Fair and balanced review! The great thing about Warframe and DE is that they are *constantly* working on everything, so even while Skill Up was putting together this video, everything was changing. A week from now, several things will be changed even more. People who have been unwavering in their negativity are kind of hilarious, because they keep playing anyway.. I think that speaks for itself, very loudly. ;)
You are my go to reviewer as of now. I trust your opinion, which is difficult to say with any sincerity these days. Thanks for this rare experience.
Skill Up I only know you from your recent Warframe videos. From the first one I saw, I simply liked the way you present your content, so, whenever a video of yours show up on my feed, I simply watch it.
But this time! This time you hit it right in the spot! It was like you entered my brain and spoke out my impressions and thoughts with better presentation skills.
From the very beginning, even before the PoE launch I was literally screaming to my clam mates, "why would I want to be a space teenager when I can be an awesome space ninja with amazing abilities?", "Why the hell would I want to fish and mine instead of shooting enemies and blowing things up?" and "Those weapons from the new crafting system look really ugly, I hope they allow me to use skins on them". Well you didn't mention the last one but it wasn't so important.
That review was very well made and (I really can't stress how much) on point.
Good job!
Man, I just love your reviews; your way of carrying the viewer through the story you are telling is just amazing. I'm experienced enough in the game to know everything you could possibly say here but I can't stop watching because of how well done these are.
Thanks for watching mate.
I love your reviews, your videos have always been sincere and provide depth and thought to the core of the games.
crisp as ever skillup, keep up the good work my man :)
I am simply amazed that this game is free to play. With over 200 hours under my belt i can tell you that it wasn't a waste of my time.
Hansson just wait till you have 2k XD
G Cilidales Yup. Think you're powerful at 500 hours.. Top 2k and see what the game can really offer.
I dunno why but i really like to watch ur reviews.They seem very entertaining to me.Keep up ur good content man!!!👍👍👍👍👍👍👍
Tice TX yea ok
when u cant even make a comment without meeting a toxic guy
your videos are always the best man... well done, keep em coming :)
Your reviews are always spot on, DE better listen to it and take it to heart and fix thee focus ASAP.
You do what so few other people do when they make a video about a game that they really like, you're willing to look under the hood to see what problems exist and offer help finding solutions so that the game can be made even better.
As someone who's been playing since April of 2013, I love this game and it's become my absolute favorite game of all time. And I want to see it continue to live up to the hype that it builds in its player-base; to be able to look back on it without the need for rose-tinted glasses.
It's great that DE has taken in interest in your channel and videos, it gives the players a stronger voice to help guide the DEv's in a better direction when they reach a new place they've never been before. Our efforts, the player's and developer's, go much further with your help.
I want umbra that's what I want
Spartan747 therea a meteor overhead that might give us that pretty soon.
thats not umbra for GAWDS sake....
Roy Checa then tell me what else can be a living orokin meteor?
a fucking sentient... which they actually hinted in a video. Im sorry for my swearing but you people need to set your expectations right. Umbra cinematic quest coming right after the biggest update ever is HIGHLY unlikely. Im just triggered because of the thought that people would soon believe this bullshit and be disappointed and BLAME DE for it.
noathegod 1 look up warframe subreddit, with titania you can go up in plain high enough to see what meteor is coverd with infested mass
Wonderful review through and through. I must say that i am increadibly impressed with how you reviewed the plains in such a in-depth and "full picture" way. And I very much agree with pretty much all the points you brought up. Only real difference being that ive enjoyed using operator mode now that focus 2.0 is out. I mean sure it doesnt really do anything when it comes to damage but ive found some great utility purposes which at least for me does further reinforce the power fantasy. Small things like switching to operator and void dashing right when you have to reload and is surrounded by enemies. Gets you out of the situation and does a little CC while your at it. And going into void mode when you need to revive a downed ally since you cant get harmed while in it. Obviously it could be way, way, waaaay better, but at least its something to have at the moment until the eventual updates comes.
I have the video paused at 5:14 right now. I paused to right the comment because of how in depth and thoughtful that introduction was. Rarely will I really watch a review that's more than 10 minutes fully. But right now I'm gonna buckle in for the next 30. This looks like you put a lot of thought and care into it just by the intro. Trying to decide if I should give this game another go right now. I have a feeling this review will give me my answer. Thanks.
And as a veteran player that’s what I and sooo many other long time players have been asking for. Quality. Just chill on adding things for a minute and focus on fine tuning the game. Been saying that in the forums for the longest. Thanks for this video. Maybe, just MAYBE they’ll listen this time.
I’m blown away by this review. Insightful, considered and constructive. Nothing short of jaw dropping.
I’m am amazed at how many new you- tubers are jumping on this train, well the vets will be here to welcome you.
Seriously your reviews are the best I mean every thing is so clear.
Hahaha 19:16, is that one of your phobias Ralph 😂
Today was the 100th devstream and everything you are covering DE talked about it and are looking for better systems.
Olivia Leopold That's the bad thing. Since this game is constantly updated (Which is great). Any reviews of Warframe will be outdated.
Jose Gomez ok 👌
👌
Great job on this review. Voices many of the thoughts I had about his update; both the positives and negatives. However, the real reason I'm commenting is congratulate your much improved fashion frame. They're beautiful now.
Super well made, loved the ending, laughed out at work :)
Damn man! To me, you're are quickly becoming the best game critic, reviewer and analyst on all of UA-cam, maybe even the Internet as a whole! Whatever you're doing, its working my friend! Keep it up! And a giant TWO THUMBS UP!
Thanks mate :P
Well said sir, well said. Now, I really hope they watch this and take it to heart.
The Creative and Design Directors quoted this video in their most recent livestream. They have listened and are taking our feedback to heart. :)
Dam man where have I been, skill up reviews are honestly the most insightful and eloquent reviews in gaming.
Watching all your warframe reviews today at 2022 made me cry and proud of what DE have given us. I have been playing so much and decorating Dojo is my end game now. I havent spent a dime until last month. I feel I owe DE and I am OK to spend on plats to buy 128 formas to make my clan dojo beautiful.
Well, good to know they gonna bring Focus 2.5, more operator updates and fixes to the bounties. Also, never ever heard anyone complain about fishing in PoE tho.
its a matter of personal taste lol, fishing gets pretty easy and fun when you know how it works. it has the advantage of letting you farm exactly what you need instead of leaving to luck like mining... mining does need another look at.
Yeah Mining needs a look. I aint heard that word been used concerning Warframe in months until i just read ur reply, honestly.
4:10 “registered losers”
Your reviews give such a detailed understanding of the systems, its clear how much, like the rest of you love gaming. Thank you for your work. All devs should watch your videos to see things from outside perspective.
Thanks for another insightful and eye opening video. Since I watched your 2017 review video from two months ago, I've become a daily Warframe player, and sunk 80+ hours into this brilliant game. And FYI - I'm only just NOW finishing the planetary map.
That’s what I like about this game it’s not perfect and it shows how much DE cares about this game and how they are actual fans of there own game
that was one of the best prologues/build ups that i've heard so far for a game.
I finally finished The Second Dream, absolutely story spoiler free, and am so glad and surprised I did.
The main reason I just stated that was because of you SkillUp. You have put a very good reason to place this spoiler warning in the video and so I skipped it for weeks as I grinded through the planets. But right before I played through The Second Dream I watched your 'Master Stroke' video and noticing your high praise for the quest (which was obviously not the full intent of the video as I had recognized), so I entered with high expectations, and was pleasantly indulged in the questline and how the new system was introduced which made me even more happy that you, and many others, had never spoiled any of the story in it.
Once again, thank you for all the videos you create, they are all excelling in quality, and it has been a pleasure being a viewer of the talented creator you are.
Sometimes I just have your reviews playing in the backround because I'm in love with your voice
11:30 I look back fondly on The Molten Core, the only raid dungeon I really was interested in (ever actually)
Best. Content. Evet

Megan?
*X-files theme*
such a good video, love it, really good review, you did it again SkillUp
You never fail to impress me with your reviews. Keep it up!
Another great review! I'd love to see you make a review for neon genesis evangelion. You have some of the bests reviews I've seen on UA-cam and I feel like only you can truly do the series justice.
Press f to pay respects to that poor bird
Some of the things you said took words out of my mouth! This review is fantastic. I'm close to MR 20 now and i've only been to the plains once because I feel I have too much to do outside of them, and because I don't want to fish for hours on straight XD
I just realized, that you used Datto's farm video for the destiny 1 bit. Thats exactly what i watched back in the day =D
awesome review, keep it up
You are an amazing and entertaining reviewer
Thanks bro :)
I really hope you do a video on dev stream 100, almost all of the negative points in this review were talked about and how they hope to address the issues. Except for the operator combat, which I agree doesn't feel good at all, and is of no use outside the eidolon fight.
I'm still waiting for the upcoming contents ,umbra and such. It's likely DE is aiming to make operator mode much more poweful than it is now, with a narrative about discovering potential or something. Right now operators with the right build can fly, so that's a start
I have to say the review was pretty on point, keep up the awesome work and lets see how the devs take this feedback on :)
Good job!! And this video is the reason why i follow you! Keep up this great work!
As someone returning to this after Warframes third open world release, i find it kind of saddening. Most "bug" and "tuning" issues are largely resolved at this point, but the problem of "islands of content" that have no influence on your progression throughout other parts of the game is larger than ever. I just hope that DE after three open worlds (one for each faction) decides that enough is enough and instead focuses on integrating these systems into the wider game. It isn't nearly as flashy and doesn't get the same press coverage, but it is sorely needed.
They've slowly but surely been working on this. The Corpus Ship tileset rework featuring Solaris prisoners and void runs that can grant Fortuna rep is a step in that direction, but I will agree that more should be done. The easiest thing would be to broaden the types of things we can buy with standing gained from any of the areas. If people could buy relic packs or kuva with Fortuna standing, for instance, they could get two things that either improve their rivens or their collection of gear or both just buy choosing one of the open worlds they like best.
This game takes: sense of pride and progression to a whole new level
I played Warframe before you did and was on hiatus, Found your Channel cause of The Division, followed you ever since, Great content, well-thought points, I believe you are holding a key responsibility in the gaming industry and that responsibility you are upholding quite well, Keep it up!
First of: You've made quite a nice and detailed Review of the Plains, really appreciated watching it!
Though I must say I'd have structured your footage a wee bit differently since on the one hand you tell people "beware of Spoilers for 2nd Dream" and on the other hand you have already showed some footage of you popping in and out of Operator mode ;)
However, though I definitly DO agree that the guiding of the new players through the Warframe content NEEDS to be improved, I still think that introducing them early into the Plains and also the Gara-Quest was a smart thing to do, atleast in my opinion and here's why:
- When you start visiting the Plains early in the game you can already get used to the new resources found in the plains: you aquire your first bait, hook and drill and start farming a small
heap of resources for later use. That way you won't feel exhausted from having to farm 50 or more fish later, as we experienced players now have to when we want to rush
through all the new goodies the patch has to offer, since you aquired them, one to five at a time, during your daylie 5-20 min visit to the plains during or after your first bounty.
- You get your first "introduction" to a syndicate/ the syndicate System without the downside of making yourself an enemy faction, and eventhough you can't progress through the ranks very far (yet) you get to learn how to gain points, how much you can farm per day (Mastery Rank) and how to spend it.
- When they start Spending their standing (since they don't have access to the higher rank tiers yet) on Zaw parts, though that system definitly needs a better introduction, especially that you need to gild in order
to get MR exp, they can start experimenting with different weapon families and, as a byproduct, also gain some Masteryrank exp (up to 18k when they try all blades, which is huge for a youngling!)
- While the Bounties themselves might be harder than other missions that are more suited for their current level, they won't get punished that much for failing a bounty/ incursion in the way that they are allowed to keep all the other standing/ exp/ loot they aquired until then (provided they make it to the exit, which should maybe be marked a bit more flashy on the map for them) where as in normal missions you loose everything if you fail the mission;
- During the Gara Quest you get your first introduction to a few systems that will help you greatly later in the game:
You get your first free Codex Scanners and get a short info on how to use them aswell as some (forced?) practice with them (this should greatly decrease the number of young tenno that get stuck on the node to Phobos with the Scan 3 cephalon fragments, provided they get what cephalon fragments are);
You learn that a big bunch of Lore in Warframe is hidden behind scanable objects (Kuria, Cephalon Frags, enemies, thousand year fish,...) and to keep an eye out for secrets/ hidden stuff;
When finished the quest you learn that you can aquire Warframes for free (without spending plat) by getting blueprints and building them, something many ppl still seem to not grasp at first;
when you look for the Gara parts/ browse the bounty list you also discover that warframe parts/ special blueprints, mods and materials can be aquired though mission (/ in this case bounty rewards);
furthermore they also get their first glance at a hub which might end up leading them towards grouping up with similar minded players, find/ join a clan or just make friendships, definitly more likely than with the drop-in-drop-out playstyle in normal missions.
So I wonder how bad him switching over to warframe has fucked up Destiny 2's online count.
to inform kuva is not needed to craft gara anymore
Does that oversight on the part of the devs not tell you that no one really plays the game. It should have been obvious to anyone that using kuva was an error but it made it into the game.
yes this was an oversight but delivering PoE in october when they had the idea in febuary/march leaves too much to say, they rush this and yes they made mistakes but they didnt let it sit for too long i seen every patchnote since i played and 98% of the time i go "hey thats the bug i saw 2-3 days ago" when in some mmo i go "finally they fix the bug after X weeks" they are not a triple A company there are 100 people working on this they are allow to make some mistakes or oversights here and there I trust DE and that says too much, every other company feels like they see you as a number, as one more dollar, there are companies that make you feel like you are heard but DE has a golden star in that department since day 1
Ps. sorry for my english I hope I didnt make to many gramatical horrors
Yea, DE will fix the bullshit. Just give them some time, they always make this shit more tolerable after complaints.
LosN209 nigga you salty jesus
+G Cilidales how is that salty? Isn't he saying it as a good thing?
Great review! Exactly what I had in mind as a new player in Warframe.
I was lucky enough to meet this guy that helps me throughout the game and his first advise when I met him on the plain? "Go back to Earth and finish all/most mission on planets first"
This is a a fantastic and very well out together review. I agree on pretty much every point. I hope de finds this video and takes it to heart great job
