(PSN)AyinDygra Posted January 21, 2020 Share Posted January 21, 2020 They are similar in "what you do" comparisons. You run around shooting things and collecting loot, in space. They have similar options for weaponry. They have both open worlds and "strikes". Both have a range of classes with special powers to choose from (9 when I left D2, 40+ in Warframe) Both have their pros and cons. Both focus on different audiences: One is a horde shooter, the other is a tactical shooter (huge difference, and huge point of contention in WF discussions about difficulty). One lets you use your powers freely, the other limits their use to a trickle (in most cases, with outliers like sun grenades and dark vampire, using Exotics to facilitate special ability interactions to regain energy faster) One lets you run free with melee, the other treats melee like another heavy weapon with ammo... One has a slow, plodding pace where cover matters, and has really high regeneration time on health/shields (so the cover provides a chance to restore health), whereas the other is fast paced, and movement is cover, with no early-game methods of fast health restoration, but many late-game options.| One has banked on highly randomized layouts of areas and enemy encounters, while the other is heavily scripted. One has immediately usable drops and a large on-the-fly-arsenal system that lets you be quite adaptable to the situation you find yourself in, and makes loot interesting on the way up (not so much once you hit the top, and has its own problems with the light levels associated with it.) while the other drops blueprints that you have to take back to craft as well as the ingredients to craft them, and your arsenal is quite limited in the field to what you prepare to bring ahead of time. I'm more biased to how Warframe has been designed, but D1/2 have some good points as well that I wouldn't mind seeing more of in Warframe. Most features from either game would be out of place in the other, and are not good comparisons, however. (reducing the hordes and making warframe more of a tactical shooter with stronger enemies, limited energy, and using cover... kinda makes it a totally different game... for instance.) I don't know why D2 would be compared with Warframe more NOW than before... the only thing changing is D2 going F2P-ish. (I don't see myself ever going back to D1/2) 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

KnightOwl_ Posted January 21, 2020 Share Posted January 21, 2020 D2 and warframe are similar enough that it’s pretty easy to bounce between the two. When one has a lot of story and fresh content to try and the other has no new campaign content and keeps releasing islands that have zero reason to do after you gear up, you play one over the other. Until that first one releases stuff you want to play and so on. Playing just one game is silly and leads to burnout. Warframe seems like a game made for playing in spurts anyway.

SneakyErvin Posted January 21, 2020 Share Posted January 21, 2020 The similarites are that they are both sci-fi and you blow up space baddies with guns while collecting loot. When it comes to gameplay they arent very similar at all. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Devs are starting to lose the good well of their player base…. People are starting to see thought the BS, Bungie been such a big studio , I knew they would start trying to milk their player base….. Although DE are starting to get more aggressive with their microtransactions. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AFAIK simply because Destiny 2 went f2p just like Warframe which means for better or for worse they are now direct competitors Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
IIDMOII Posted January 21, 2020 Share Posted January 21, 2020 Because it's gone free 2 play and is in direct competition with warframe? Im not a destiny fan and will never be (Bungie went out of their way to lose me as a customer) but it has taken a significant chunk of players from other games, especially warframe. Similar games with similar goals but warframe requires too much of an investment to get anywhere. Destiny is much easier to digest and is more accessible. That's why it's active players surpass warframe - you can hop in and accomplish something tangible. Where as warframe requires a ton of busy work and maintenance before you an even enjoy something simple like a new gun. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

(PSN)thowed Posted January 21, 2020 Share Posted January 21, 2020 Because it went F2P in some aspects and alot of players are cheap or broke. All people did was bash Destiny 2 until it went "free", now it's so great. Those same people would have never tried it otherwise (cheap or broke). No reason to be nice about it.

Not saying it's a bad thing but being a no life on here the d2 forums ark and eso forums between d2 and wf I see alot more warframe players talking about destiny.

(XBOX)EternalDrk Mako Posted January 21, 2020 Share Posted January 21, 2020 personally id say its due to destiny going "free to play" like warframe, unlike warframe has Pay walls everywhere so lots of mixed feelings on the content i hear Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
(PSN)CrazyBeaTzu Posted January 21, 2020 Share Posted January 21, 2020 "Call of Duty and Grand Theft Auto both have guns, that makes them the same." Is basically what those people are saying.

Aesthier Posted January 21, 2020 Share Posted January 21, 2020 I enjoy warframe enough to be passionate about the changes they make or fail to make. However Destiny holds no value to me. I suppose I could go play destiny, a game I really don't like, and complain on thier forums all day about how they should change things to be more like Warframe but I don't because enjoying Warframe isn't why one plays Destiny.
