I'll admit it looks fun.

But not $80 for a game then another $54 for the cosmestics battlepass season pass fun

I'll just stay in Warframe where its free to play and its battlepasses are completely free.

Warframe sucks for FOMO though, they could still do a lot better

[–] justOnePersistentKbinPlease@fedia.io -5 points 3 months ago (1 children)

No? Only things to miss are battlepass and occasional events.

The last big one off event was Scarlet Spear.

Each vaulted part, warframe is "fomo". They unvault sometimes for a limited time, again, fomo. You can pay to get a better chance by buying platinum and buying relics off the market.

They wouldn't have to vault anything, every prime warframe could be available (maybe except excalibur since that was for early adopters, and umbra was the "prime" version everyone got).

No, each vaulted Prime rotates in and out of the vault on a well known and predictable timetable. Ditto the Duviri Circuit rotation, except that there its a much shorter rotation.

Outside of some completely optional fashion choices the difference between prime and non-prime is completely irrelevant.

The stat buffs a prime gets are irrelevant now with the archon shard system.

Biggest thing is that some of the primes are easier to get(e.g.Equinox, Nezha, Grendel) but again, the duviri circuit makes that point moot.

Oh yeah haven't played that one. Need more Ork games

[–] Kolanaki@yiffit.net 5 points 3 months ago

I don't see Rogue Trader mentioned.

[–] homicidalrobot@lemm.ee 4 points 3 months ago

The ARPG WH40K Inquisitor - Martyr is unironically pretty good in its' genre. All the live service seasons are accessible on character creation now, individually, and in offline mode. Pretty solid endgame, combat flow and selectable difficulty are different enough from PoE and Diablo to provide some unique gamer moments.

[–] Piemanding@sh.itjust.works 2 points 3 months ago

I would say Darktide is good too. Just too similar to Vermintide 2 from what I heard.

[–] AEsheron@lemmy.world 2 points 3 months ago* (last edited 3 months ago)

Don't forget Rogue Trader. Falls into many of the usual CRPG pitfalls, but is still definitely solid despite that.

[–] srestegosaurio@lemmy.dbzer0.com 2 points 3 months ago

But for the love of God not DoW3.

[–] NielsBohron@lemmy.world 1 points 3 months ago

It's not 40K, but I thoroughly enjoyed Mordheim: City of the Damned, despite some bugs and rough AI in places.

[–] psmgx@lemmy.world 13 points 3 months ago

Games Workshop is publicly traded. The stock must grow, which means the slop must flow.

A couple of my friends jumped right in... I'm asking them about it and it sounds like Helldivers 2 but with melee weapons

[–] AEsheron@lemmy.world 3 points 3 months ago

As a big fan of Helldivers, they aren't really that similar. They aren't completely different either, but SM leans closer to a hack n' slash. Definitely space for both in my rotation.

[–] Warl0k3@lemmy.world 4 points 3 months ago

Yo but at least were getting another Guillaume David album! And a game or something idk...

[–] ryathal@sh.itjust.works 3 points 3 months ago (1 children)

The games that most directly capture the feeling are more difficult to make and balance for fun. The more factions that are playable the more effort it takes to keep everything balanced, which even the tabletop game has always had issues with. The more successful games tend to capture the themes and do their own gameplay.

[–] Aquila@sh.itjust.works 8 points 3 months ago (2 children)

If it’s pve it doesn’t need to be balanced

[–] SpruceBringsteen@lemmy.world 5 points 3 months ago

Tell that to the Helldivers dev team

[–] Bosht@lemmy.world 2 points 3 months ago

But they had to make it PvP as well so here we are.
