What Got You Introduced To Warframe?

[TheFapman69]

I'm kinda sure this has been done already, but eh oh well.

I got introduced by a live stream done by Cryaotic (waiting for anyone to know him) I caught last year around March I believe. I remember how awesome I thought the game looked even in its much more different form and voices like Grineer sounding nothing like they do now. A little while after the stream I went to the site and made an account and downloaded the game... and than deleted it. Mostly for school reasons and bad relationship stuff. But a year later I see the game on Steam again and figured eh screw it I'm running out of stuff to play and the game seems a lot better than it did the first time I saw it, plus I never got to try it at first. And since that day I actually sat down and tried Warframe, I never looked back. Almost 850 hours later and I'm still loving my time here.

YouTuber called LevelCap. He made a review/first impression of the game, and I got hooked ever since.

I found it through a friend on Vindictus (hence my username) and yeah... I joined right before U14 though, so a few months ago. Basically before the traditional starmap disappeared.

 

And since then, Mastery 9, 449 registered hours, great friends, clan, lots of weapons and frames, etc. c:

E3!

Seriously, warframe had their own booth plus the Sony Ps4 floor.

At first I was like whatever about it, but then after playing it a bunch, it kinda grew on me.

This was one of my very early games that I downloaded when I finally got a decent laptop to run anything. I was just searching through Steam and saw Warframe. I've bumped into this game before when i saw a video of someone doing a first impression, totally forgot who it was, so I downloaded it, along with other games. Now the rest just sits there gathering dust while I play Warframe. :D

The mmo style minecraft server I was playing on died. Steam.

I kept getting ads on youtube about the game and after some time i got tired of finding warframe publicity everywhere so i decided to try it out and ever since i've been pretty much addicted to the game and it's the only game i keep coming back to play.

I was looking at games coming out for ps4 and I saw Warframe.

[NaniteCircuit]

TotalBiscuit did a video back in 2013. The game was in Update 5, and I went onto a beta key site right away. Got started that day.

[CelsiusPrime]

I saw that it was a free to play game and I was in a rut of playing lots of free to play games so I downloaded it about 2 months before it got steamed.

 

been playing ever since non stop. I love this game so much.

My brother found it through SkitScape of all people. No I am not promoting his channel, just giving credit where its due.

Try out one of the modpack communities sometime.

 

There's most definitely a ton to learn.

 

 

OT: Found Warframe through the free-to-play category on Steam, installed, and that's that...

[Omni_Omega]

I was watching SomeOrdinaryGamers ( Mutahar ) narrate a creepypasta and he had the game play in the background. In fact I think it was the Russian Sleep Experiment ( Which in retrospect sleep/warframe kinda fits story ).

He didn't mention the game at all except in the description so it caught my interest.

[DEMO224]

Ads on youtube, the ones that were found at the side of the video.

After quitting World of Warcraft, which at the time was a major form of stress relief for me, I searched for a new game that could match up to my tastes. I came across Warframe in a small little "list of upcoming multiplayer games" and gave it a shot. When I saw it was DE and I saw the Lotus symbol? I instantly remembered Dark Sector, a game which stole my mind with a fairly imaginative and ambitious story. Learning that Warframe had continuity to this game and seeing the Excalibur frame further sent me over the edge with hype. After playing a short while, I quickly became a Grand Master founder with the hopes of helping push this game further up on the ladder and buying Prime Access every release. DE has shown how brilliant and hard working they are. They've crafted this free to play gem that I love for its game play, art design, music, lore, everything! I always mention it to friends both new and old, and have recruited quite a few to this game in the process. I hope this game continues to grow, seeing it come this far has already been both a privilege and honour.

This maybe surprising but actually WoodysGamertag.

[Xandis]

Sounds strange, but a YouTube channel that does reading of various videogame creepypastas. If it wasn't a specific game, they'd put some Warframe gameplay up instead and that got me interested.

A recommendation from a facebook page about Marauder Shields.

 

Only reason I didn't ignore it immediately was because  -- at that point in time -- I was playing Global Agenda's Umax pretty much every day, trying to get my fix of satisfying squad-based coop.

[DeathKoala]

Saw it on Steam and, being completely broke at all times, figured it looked promising for something free. Been playing a year and a half, and haven't looked back.

I have always enjoyed PvE shooter games with RPG elements. I think I was fed up with seeing hackers, graphics problems and having bad times on Planet-Side 2 so when I went looking for a new PvE shooter and found Warframe and later Defiance. I stayed with Warframe because I had no issues with stability or security while Defiance had people running around one shotting bosses and mowing down events with hacked MG's. Warframe also did not do classic evil things like mess with my screen or anything, while Defiance had this offensive flashy, beepy, inconsistently controlled U.I. on it with way too many layers.

 

To this day, 1yr8mo later, I argue all over the boards about systems and changes and balance and this and that but the most basic gameplay just running around using cover and shooting stuff, occasionally using quick melee, still feels really good.

 

I have always said and continue to maintain: as long as I'm seeing new guns, tiles and reasons to forma/level stuff I'll be here playing and spending.

A friend suggested for me to play Warface. Went home and thought they said Warframe, so I searched gameplay. After watching 10 seconds, I immediately downloaded.

[Utarious]

Me and my friend were bored and my friend being bored went on the Free to Play section on Steam.

 

He looked at Warframe and was like "hey wanna try this it actually looks good"

 

I just was like I unno it's a F2P and watched gameplay.

 

Immediately said let's give it a whirl.

[Magicfingers]

my son discovered this game and played it for a week or so and talked me into giving it a try. he kept saying how much fun it would be for us to play together, so i gave it a shot. the next day he quit playing. and here it is now almost 1700 hours of play time and i'm still going at it.

I had seen the game on Steam, but the banner looked kindof goofy. Then Update 10 came out, and with it Nekros. His design drew me in and I have been playing ever since.
