Renathy Posted May 11, 2015 Share Posted May 11, 2015 There's always some sort of alien race that doesn't give up? Like, gee, guys, stop. Please. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheErebus. Posted May 11, 2015 Share Posted May 11, 2015 Typically because those alien races have a goal to achieve and wont stop trying to achieve it? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Drunkenbagel Posted May 11, 2015 Share Posted May 11, 2015 Well what would YOU suggest the adversary to be? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SilentCircle Posted May 11, 2015 Share Posted May 11, 2015 Maybe because if the aliens would just give up it wouldn't be very a good sci-fi movie/game? :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Krion112 Posted May 11, 2015 Share Posted May 11, 2015 (edited) In Ender's Game, the Formics gave up and then the humans pretty much drove them to extinction over the fear of a second attack. Also the Vortigaunts from Half-Life redirected their attention from fighting the humans to assisting them in their new fight against the Combine after the Nihilanth was destroyed. As such, there are definitely ways to demonstrate aliens giving up while also maintaining conflict in a plot. The only reason we see so many returns is because it's easier and more linear to write for. Edited May 11, 2015 by Krion112 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rapt0rman Posted May 11, 2015 Share Posted May 11, 2015 Well what would YOU suggest the adversary to be? A race of unmotivated, procrastinating aliens, obviously! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

counterflux Posted May 11, 2015 Share Posted May 11, 2015 Because warframe would be stupid if it went like this: Grineer: We're giving a cool anklet to that warframe showing him our frindship. Tenno: *Shoot grineer in the head.* Other grineer: Not cool. I'm going to defriend you on facebook and I'll move to another galaxy *flies off* GLOBAL PEACE ACHIEVED Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Renathy Posted May 11, 2015 Author Share Posted May 11, 2015 Well what would YOU suggest the adversary to be? I didn't really have anything in mind, when I posted this joke. Like Krio said, there are times when the human race is depicted as the unrelenting opponent. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
(PSN)Fen_Integrum Posted May 11, 2015 Share Posted May 11, 2015 So what is the Alien Race in Warframe, if this is some in every Sci-Fi? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Krion112 Posted May 11, 2015 Share Posted May 11, 2015 So what is the Alien Race in Warframe, if this is some in every Sci-Fi? Hopefully the Sentients, as it would be a breath of fresh air for something in Warframe to not be the result of human tampering. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Aattoman Posted May 11, 2015 Share Posted May 11, 2015 (edited) My question is why do so many science fiction universes have some form of space-zombie. Warframe = Technocyte InfestationHalo = FloodMass Effect = Reapers (their slave units and technically the big ol' squidships themselves)Dead Space = NecromorphsDestiny = Hive40K = NecronsStar Trek = Borg (kinda bionic zombz) Edited May 11, 2015 by Aattoman Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kasumi- Posted May 11, 2015 Share Posted May 11, 2015 In Ender's Game, the Formics gave up and then the humans pretty much drove them to extinction over the fear of a second attack. Also the Vortigaunts from Half-Life gave up fighting the humans and assisted them in their new fight against the Combine. As such, there are definitely ways to demonstrate aliens giving up while also maintaining conflict in a plot. The only reason we see so many returns is because it's easier and more linear to write for. The vorts didn't give up, Gordon just killed the thing keeping them in its control. Look at the beginning of Half-Life 2, the combine are using a vort restrained by one of those green collars they wore in HL1 to clean the train station.

Look at the beginning of Half-Life 2, the combine are using a vort restrained by one of those green collars they wore in HL1 to clean the train station. Debatable, considering the motivations of the Vortigaunts are somewhat incomprehensible. For all we know, they've allied with us to fight the Combine only to prevent themselves from fighting on two fronts, and once the Combine are prevented from making any more of a presence, the Vortigaunts could easily change sides again. I mean, sure, they were controlled, but who's to say they don't have their own motivation in the conflict now that they're free? I also suppose I worded that wrong, as 'giving up' isn't really fitting, it's more like 'redirecting their attention'. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Aattoman Posted May 11, 2015 Share Posted May 11, 2015 Pretty sure Necrons are more about murder than assimilation. Still fit the theme of undead, though you're right that they are a bit different from the others I used as examples. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
