At first, I thought this game wasn't for me.
It took hours of waiting to craft items and up to 3 days to wait for the new Warframe that I just farmed for. It took a lot of immersion in the game, but, somehow, I found it very enjoyable.
The technology behind this game, the maps are never the same no matter what you do and there was something for everyone. Shooters? You have it. Want to fly around an open world? No problem. Want to skate? Hell yeah.
But it wasn't until Second Dream that I finally understood what Warframe was and what it could become. I'd never felt like I loved a game so much before. So I went through every log, every piece, everything I could to understand the story. And when I did that? It was like a whole new game had emerged.
I went from just killing enemies and collecting cool characters to being some kind of superhero who kept the system balanced. And more and more secrets were revealed until I realized what was looking over my shoulder about this story.
I couldn't even trust my own shadow. From the Second Dream to fighting in a War Within, to helping someone overcome grief over a Sacrifice, to the chaos of a New War lurking just around the corner.
I couldn't ask for a better game. A better community. Or a better developer.
After 2400+ hours of study, all I can say is, I hope I have another 2400 hours.
