Bored with no money to spend on vidya

Is this any good?
Any suggestions to some action games?
.iso and emulators are welcome

Go see if the under $5 flash sale on PSN is still up. There's some pretty good ones like DMC collection on PS3 or Sleeping Dogs on PS4.

Saddly I only have PC here

If I had 5 bucks, I would.

Warframe is pretty fucking fun, esp if you have a bro or two to carry you. If not expect to consult the wiki a great deal.

>especially if you have a bro or two to carry you
It takes like two hours tops to Max rank a brand new warframe.

>it takes 2 hours tops to max rank
>can only rank up once every 24 hours

Emulate PS2 games

Warframe level, not mastery level.

And I don't think I implied that it was eother.

*either

>And I don't think I implied that it was eother.

Level is called level, Rank is called rank.

Just fucking admit that you fucked up.

>no money
>warframe
That's not how you play Warframe. Yes, you can get plat from trading. After countless grinding for mods, formas and good weapons to get stuff that you can sell for plat.

Go to akkad, you fucking noob. You can level to 30 in 2 sessions to 15 wave.

Go on a Korean mmo bender. Just download five or six and go through them.

>semantics
who cares?

He said, rank. Rank is not level.

Most boring shit I've played for years.

Also P2W.

Avoid at all costs.

>I fucked up and don't know what I'm talking about
>let me back peddle and say semanitcs/who cares
Just admit you were wrong fag.

and yeah, fuck you buddy, I said rank.

not OP but I have wanted to play this for a while too but get put off cos most F2P games have a shit freemium system that basically forces you to pay unless you want to be severely gimped

is this the case in warframe? i don't care if you can pay for xp boosters or whatever but does the paid stuff actually unbalance the game ?

Why are you so mad?

I sunk about 150 hours into it, basically all solo.

It was fun at the time, but when I was done with it, I was completely uninterested in it. I haven't touched the game in about a year now. I briefly had a bit of nostalgia for my time with it, but by the time I logged back in a feeling of almost disgust came over me and I logged off without even entering a mission.

I think it might have had to do with the thought that even the time I put into it, I still had only managed to earn one Prime weapon, and no Prime frames.

you can buy platinum to buy every weapon, warframe and mod to avoid grinding them

but if you are shit at modding, shit at arpg/tps and can't figure out how to push 80-100+ enemies then you are not winning at anything.

Interesting, thanks

Highly thinking on it, but no game comes to mind

Don't think FFTA has the action that I'm looking for

God Hand
DMC1 and 3
Okami
Viewtiful Joe
God of War

Everything that is only available for plat is cosmetic only.

However, everything is a grind. All weapons and frames are built from multiple parts. Parts are chance drops as mission rewards, and the more difficult/longer period rewards at that, and usually under a 5% drop rate. Meaning you could grind a mission for 10 minutes for the chance to roll the dice for your reward, and not get it for a very long time.
The coolest and best weapons and frames are available only through missions which require keys. Keys are fairly easy to get, but still require mission reward grinding of different mission types.
The materials to build the keys and parts are found as rewards in other missions or enemy drops. Sometimes these drops can be quite rare, requiring boss farming.
You have to do this for each weapon part, assemble all of them, then build it.

Or you can buy it for 10 bucks.

Oh also the stuff you slot into the weapons and frames to make them not completely shit also are chance drops from missions or enemies.

The funniest part about the whole process is, that the dude who just drops the money actually cheats himself out of content. Because there is nothing else. The whole progression system is based on this slow, methodical, soul crushing grind, built on top of grind, built on top of grind.

That all being said, the core gameplay is fun as fuck, so for a long time it doesn't feel like grinding at all. If you play it too much and burn out, you'll never touch it again. But if you pace yourself you could spend years playing it.

>The funniest part about the whole process is, that the dude who just drops the money actually cheats himself out of content.
I agree for the most part, except in the very beginning, where you have no inventory space and no proper mods to at least have some fun with weapons. It's not fun playing with the same underpowered weapons over and over and over and over and over and over and over because you have no space to properly mod or enjoy the game. But once you get the essential stuff - then, sure, go ahead, experience the grind your own way. Granted nowadays it's easy as fuck to level up mods compared to when there were cores.

A pretty fun game, I only stopped playing it because at some point playing on your own gets kinda boring and I'm fucking antisocial in-game. On the other hand, the mechanics are fun, it's not too repetitive, even though it uses mostly the same maps. The constant grind is something I low-key enjoy, so it didn't feel like a problem.

On a action/slasher style, I highly recommend Vindictus. Played it for a while this summer, and I'm about to go back to it. It's immensely fun, lots of customization available in the CS, but I felt like you could get basically any char-related item through grinding (granted, sometimes through redoing exactly the same dungeon a dozen time in a row, but still). It's a pretty chill game, mechanics are fun, char design is pretty badass for all heroes, with added cuteness for girl heroes.

Get PCSX2 and Dolphin. Emulate away, hombre.

I'm playing Okami right now.

Warframe can be a very fucking fun and addictive game when you're just starting out.
At some point though the grind will start feeding off of your soul and you'll only notice it when you find yourself feeling empty on the inside.

I've also been on an action game binge, strated with Lords of the Fallen, which is a good enough game, the combat is not really to my liking and the bosses are some of the most boring I've seen, the game is very easy but it was still enjoyable.
Then moved on to the Darksiders games which are much better and actually fun.
Finally I stooped so low that I played Onechanbara and now going through Senran Kagura, which are boring and I'm only doing it because I'm desperate for video games. The tits and ass just aren't enough.

the thing is that farming for your first frame can be really annoying if you are solo, but with max level friends they will ferry you to the planet and make things easy. They will help you get the materials you need to build the weapons you want as well. The game is far more enjoyable with 20 bux in the account or homies to get you through the star chart, just beacuse you can do it with excalibur and a mk1 braton dosen't mean its the most fun.

warframe had a bad launch followed by a few years of amazing content patches. This following year was their first lul. Its really an incredible game, that makes the occasional bad decision.

The Kuva Fortress map is both the newest and most fun map in the game but dosen't drop much for example. If they continue creating tilesets like this one though the game will only get better and better. I love the missions that start in the sky, hit the ground, and shift back. I really want one where we can land on a planetary surface

You can tell everyone on the staff was a huge Metroid Prime fan.

Is God Hand that good tho?
Already finished the rest except Viewtiful Joe, it isn't appealing to me

So basically even though it's fun at start, it gets ultra grindy and your sense of reward starts to fade away?
I think I played Vindictus when it came out.. has it improved since then?

Oh, so you're there too.
I find that RPGs lost some touch for me, even if the story is great, I rather read a book for story and play for the action.
Finished Lords of the Fallen as well, and I don't think all the critics about it are true. While it stands for a wannabe dark souls, it's very good and satisfying if you think about it. Not as challenging tho.
I also went for some Darksiders but I grew tired of the game in the middle of it. Didn't try the second one.

I loved Darksiders specifically because it reminded me of the first time I played God of War.
So I'll throw my hit in with the other anons who recommended emulating ps2 games.

I stopped playing Warframe when they added those timed components. At that point I was absolutely done, I had already played over 500hrs and couldn't take anymore.
Came back when they updated parkour and combat, but the game still wasn't different enough for me to be able to get back into it.

For me the the straw that broke the camel's back was the dam new riven system for weapons. I can handle a bit of rng but the moment they introduced a mod system were there can be a total of 279,864 different mod combinations for a single weapon (per warframe wikia) is when I said I am done with this game.

Well, I saw on Vindictus' forums that there had been a lot of things people were complaining about that got solved, but that there had been some major bad decisions.
Note that I played the EU version, which was different from the NA version, but because the corp that hosted the EU version could not support it anymore, the NA branch integrated it, deleting in the process the build used by the EU branch. Some features we had are thus disabled, like autorun jumps and dodge I think ?
So right now I've got no idea what the state of the game is in terms of enjoyment, but I can say that in EU during summer-ish I had a blast.

Friendly reminder to report rec threads.

Hmmm, going to have a look at it myself then

Thanks for the replies guys

>bored with no money
Thats the exact opposite you should be looking at when it comes to warframe then
