Microtransactions have been an increasingly touchy subject for gamers in the last few years, especially since Star Wars Battlefront 2 found itself in the spotlight after DICE pushed consumers too far. Game developers have been hard-pressed to find innovative ways to increase revenue earned from titles, but today's story is something else entirely: the developer of Warframe removed a microtransaction because it proved too successful. While some studios purposefully target high-spending gamers (who hold the industry nickname of "whales"), one man's simply click the up coming post-happy purchase binge changed the philosophy of the Warframe crew fore

Starting with the Warframe itself, last year’s rework did a number on Limbo. Because of this, Limbo has become a strong contender for one of the best Warframes to play as, but it comes at the cost of a higher difficulty curve. There are frames such as Ember or Rhino where their skillset is pretty straightforward in what they do, and fairly easy to play as. Limbo on the other hand requires a little bit more skill to properly utilize. The whole idea with Limbo is that he is able to move and send others between dimensions through a Rift. You’re able to trap enemies within the Cataclysm bubble, not unlike Frost’s defensive bubble, and nullify damage attacks from outside. This pairs amazingly well Limbo’s second ability which essentially freezes everyone inside the bubble, although they’re no longer able to take damage outside of the existing damage-over-time, and melee. The first and third abilities are a little trickier to work with, as Banish literally sends enemies to the other dimension, which can cause some confusion for other teammates who are unfamiliar with how Limbo works, and Rift Surge attaches itself to those inside the Rift and essentially helps suck in more attackers whenever someone is killed.

Finally, Super Mutant Alien Assault and Fallen Legion: Flames of Rebellion are arriving as freebies for PlayStation Vita owners. The first game is a single-player experience that tasks users with saving the human race in a side-scrolling platformer/shooter. Fallen Legion , on the other hand, is a Cross Buy game that PlayStation 4 owners can also download and enjoy. The title is an RPG, allowing users to explore a brand new world where decisions are said to impact the in-game lives of everyone around t

These games will appeal to new PlayStation 4 owners that only just got their consoles during the holiday season, although the range of software isn't as appealing as November 2018's PlayStation Plus offering. Sony also wants Warframe fans to know that they can secure the Warframe: PlayStation Plus Booster Pack III until January 15, 2019. This comes with 100 Platinum, 100,000 Credits, Quanta (a Corpus laser rifle), Quanta Obsidian Skin, 7-Day Affinity Booster, and a 7-Day Credit Booster to add further value to the PlayStation Plus members

Additionally, Warframe ’s two most maligned frames are getting reworked. Ember will gain a new "immolation" passive ability that keeps track of how many fires she’s set, while Vauban gets a general buff and a new fourth ability that allows him to call down an orbital str

Grendel will arrive with Warframe ’s upcoming The Old Blood update, which also brings a bunch of new features. The Kuva Lich promises to be a player’s personal nemesis, acquiring whatever abilities were last used against it to turn them back on the Tenno. Melee 3.0 will finally finish with a phase 2 rollout that brings new heavy attacks, mid-air attacks, and lift and juggle attacks, making Warframe ’s melee combat even more satisfy

Each planet has either two or three pieces of lore requiring you to scan either 3, 5, or 7 Fragments to unlock them. Early planets, such as Earth and Venus, only require 3 scans to unlock a codex entry, while later planets such as Pluto and Sedna require 7 sc

Warframe is getting its first fat frame. While some characters have been described as "thicc" or "phat," Grendel is unabashedly chunky. And while most other Warframes are loosely based off of Japanese samurai or ninjas, Grendel’s look is pretty obviously modeled after Sumo wrestlers. Just look at the way he sto

Steep is the highlight of January 2019's PlayStation Plus games, partially because it ties into the winter season so well. Developed by Ubisoft, this is a fun snowboarding romp that allows players to carve up the slopes and even take to the skies with a wingsuit. It makes for a fun addition to anyone's PlayStation 4 libra

Additionally, there’s a hidden audio file on each Fragment. You’ll have to mouse over the picture to find precisely where to click, with an audible clue telling you when you get close. The audio transmissions are all from Cephalon Ordis, and they can be somewhat... disjointed as a res

We had a lever, basically, for all intents and purposes, and we saw, you know, a guy pull the lever like 200 times. And it’s just like, ‘oh my dear god, what have we done? We’ve created a slot machine.’ And so you know, it was a couple days I think it took us to take it out - a day, day and a half. That one is a big reg
