This year sees two new additions: the Dex Liset skin for your lander and the Excalibur Dex Noggle, which is basically like an in-game bobblehead decoration. You get both of these just for logging in, with no challenge requi
When Carter and the rest of the development staff looked at the ~$137 purchase history of a man who really, really wanted to find the perfect fur pattern for his in-game pet, they realized they had essentially created a slot machine that impulsive players would gamble away significant amounts of money on. While many studios would consider this a big win, Digital Extremes made the decision that this kind of activity wasn’t healthy for the playerbase in the long run. As Carter explained, it wasn’t long before the ‘gambling fur randomizer’ was removed from the game entir
Developer Digital Extremes isn’t slowing down. They plan to add more space combat later this year with the Railjack expansion, remaster Jupiter’s Gas City map, as well as adding ever more Warframes and weapons for players to gobble up and mas
The second weapon added to the arsenal is the Destreza Prime. The Destreza in general has never been a personal favorite due to its limited range, but the Prime version is slowly making me a believer as it can rip right through armor like it’s nothing. This is unlike most melee weapons available, with the Endura being the one exception, as it’s a rapier that’s held in one hand and strikes forward, at least when not sliding. Oddly enough, the Prime version is nearly 10% slower than the standard Destreza, and damages 20% less in Puncture. Fortunately, everything else is boosted, with a higher critical chance and multiplier, along with the remaining attack values raising ever so slightly, and the status effect chance up over 3x what it originally was. It’s definitely a solid critical-centric weapon, and with the boost of status it should help it go further, but really, it’s nowhere near the level of weapons such as the Atterax which have a much wider spread of damage, which can bring entire rooms to their knees. At least it’s more versatile than say the Kronen Prime that came with the last Prime update, and it still holds up as a pretty good melee weapon.
Another month means another round of freebies for PlayStation Plus subscribers. January in particular signals a new year for PlayStation owners, and Sony is kicking things off with a handful of games that may or may not excite them. The latest batch of free PlayStation Plus games will be available from January 1, 2019 to February 5, 2019 and it consists of Steep , Portal Knight , Zone of the Enders HD Collection, Amplitude , Fallen Legion: Flames of Rebellion , and Super Mutant Alien Assau
The celebration starts on March 27th and ends April 10th, so be sure to log in during that time to collect your rewards. And if you’re on the fence on Warframe (or are maybe looking of jumping ship from Anthem), now is the perfect time to st
We cover a lot of games here on TheGamer , but one game that doesn’t get nearly as much coverage as it deserves is Warframe . For years now, Warframe has quietly been gaining momentum, gathering up players, and Warframebase.Com slowly but surely branching out into every console under the
Also available on the platform is Portal Knights . Classified as an action-RPG, the focus of this title is four-player fun as a group of players team up to take out enemies and craft items. It’s convenient that a PlayStation Plus membership is required for online play because users will need it to play online, and since it’s free to download this month there should be no shortage of friends available to join in on the act
Last year, Warframe came to the Nintendo Switch in a move that was so technically amazing that we’re still not quite sure how it was done. Warframe is not a light game by any means–some of the latest open-world updates can tax a mid-range PC–but it runs so smoothly on the portable system that it boggles the m
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
In an interview belonging to the Noclip documentary series by Daniel O’Dwyer, Digital Extremes Studio Manager Sheldon Carter detailed an unexpected result that occurred when the developer introduced a small microtransaction for Kubrows, an in-game virtual pet. The studio had implemented what Carter defines as a “slot machine lever” that allowed gamers – for the price of about $0.67 – to randomize the fur pattern and fur color of their pet Kubrow. While it was only a cosmetic feature, the idea of putting something so random behind a paygate drew the ire of many of the game’s fans. Still, Digital Extremes went forward with the idea – until one fan spent well over $100 on it almost immediat
