This is the greatest thread ever. It’s what I’ve been wanting to say but was too worried about other peoples’ feelings to drop a 10 megaton truth bomb on them. I try to confine my fanboyism to my ppr, but no more!! Some folks clearly didn’t want to hear it when I was promoting ME3 and everyone was still over the moon for Destiny. Now it’s Warframe and The Division. People seem to get insecure about their game of choice when they hear others praising something else. Whatever, get the fuck over it.
The Division is dead. The last two posts in The Division whatsapp chat are on March 31st when Chad left the group, and April 1st when Chris left the group. No one has had anything to say since March 28th. Destiny was mostly dead, but apparently it’s good again since The Division turned out to be a wad of suck*.
By comparison, the Warframe chat on whatsapp will blow up my phone if I don’t check on it at least once an hour. The enthusiasm is incredible. So it’s not just me drinking the kool-aid. It’s a fantastic game that the more you invest yourself in it, the better it becomes—exponentially. Try it, play it, keep at it, start asking questions, and watch as a universe of infinite possibility unfurls before you.
It’s free to play, but obviously if you get into it, you will want to spend money and in some ways, you’ll feel like you have to. So don’t go into it thinking it’s free forever. Go into it thinking (if you like it) you’ll spend about the same amount as you would on any other game plus dlc, but with the advantage of total control over how much you spend, when and on what, without it ever affecting your ability to team up with mates.
*My own personal feelings on Destiny are that it was a great game, deeply flawed in some respects, but fun to play regardless and good times were had by all. At this point, I’ve had my fill of it and I’m not a fan of the direction I see them taking the franchise.
