-Darvo- Posted April 21, 2017 Share Posted April 21, 2017 I never saw them as space ninjas. More like super powered humans in a suit the first time I played them. How would you consider a fuken muscular warframe whose ability needs him to shout holding a shotgun a ninja? Lol. Kinda misleading but game's fun so just I just disregard it.

It is a game where you can run up walls and jump across the abyss. Just play and shut up. No one here is butt hurt? mr salty pants Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There are different ways to be a ninja. Like has been pointed out, they can be surgical and tactical strikers, causing mayhem and chaos, while they can also be solo and stealthy. The powers themselves aren't inherently ninja, no, but mostly it's how the powers are used that makes it ninja like. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Heatnix. Posted April 21, 2017 Share Posted April 21, 2017 They wanted it to be Ninjas at first, but then they turned into power rangers and now, up at this point of the game, it's magical girls. So... magical girls play for free. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

arch111 Posted April 21, 2017 Share Posted April 21, 2017 One of this earliest reviews said Warframe is different because we don't play as the space marines of a big army, we fight against them. From the minute you started playing and heard the voice of Lotus, the board was set. We are outnumbered. We can't fight a war, but we can maintain Balance. We use stealth-dropships to get to the mission because as superhuman as the warframes are, they still go down. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Liquid262 Posted April 21, 2017 Share Posted April 21, 2017 Since when did a group ot clandestine space *beings* decide to start assassinating the gummyment? Yeah, you see that giant silver/shining warrior destroying the crowd? That wasn't the assassin, it was that small Corpus leaving the Blue behind.

Ash of course is the most ninja mofo there is. Like wukong doesn't seem like a ninja. More of a martial arts monk. Any opinions on this? They all perform ninja acrobatics.

Which I can't blame you for, I'm certain that's what DE had in mind when they started using that slogan. But other people are pointing to the historic ninja, which wasn't an oxymoronic flashy-stealth fighter, but just a guerilla merc doing anything from sieging to espionage to sabotage. Which is what the Tenno do, although they do it with a certain myth-ninja flair. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

(XBOX)DShinShoryuken Posted April 21, 2017 Share Posted April 21, 2017 We were Ninjas......now we are collectible toys that some kids fashion up and then go out and kill things with. Ninjas had a wide variety of ways of being. Not just a guy in a full ninja outfit. In legends, there were masters of poison and flames. In anime we have ninjas that can transform into different forms or tribes that each specialize in certain forms. That is still seen with many of the frames. But bunny hopping up walls while wearing bunny ears is the least ninja thing we can do....besides posing with a kid that comes out of our bellies. sigh.....

They definitely don't look like ninjas anymore, they're more like magical now for sure based on the type of movements they perform. Again, I reiterate: Magical girls play for free.

We dont fight ARMIES, we do sirurgical strikes: Exterminate this platoon, Sabotage this ship, Survive and distract, Hijack this thing and steal it. Ninjas were not ONLY about stealth. It was part of it, just like it is here. This is also true of the true history of real ninja/shinobi Please remember that NO WHERE in the actual Game does it say ninja. Excluding references to Ash.

There's line running, double jump [stereotypical trait of ninjas in vidya games], frontbackside flipping, asian-monk-ish dancing, kneeling, etc. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not even one. But, with wall running in addition to all of these, they LOOKED like ninjas in combination with everything else. With bunny hopping and dolphin jump they don't. And I'm confused, a little scared but intrigued about the "asian-monk-ish dancing" part. Edited April 22, 2017 by Heatnix. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dojo/guild same thing. They were learning places for a trade. Weapons... We have weapons from all over not just Asia. Wording? Well honor and the likes again aren't just an Asian thing. Names.. They are names from a point far into the future were all culture has combined. Play style... Eh yes it takes some keys from anime. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sar.K.Asmus Posted April 22, 2017 Share Posted April 22, 2017 Depends on your definition of Ninja. If that is your Ninja definition: Spoiler Then no the game is not about ninjas. But if that is your definition of ninja: Spoiler Then this game is about ninjas. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
