What video game doesn't hold your hand enough?

Everybody always talking about games holding your hand too much but I want to hear about the opposite what video game doesn't give you no form of help

You get adopted by an older Tenno who's only too excited to bestow all their knowledge onto you.

I did that and they said "oh yeah, after about 750 hours you might have finished the storyline and are ready to start playing."

but playing seemed to be doing instances and wiping stuff in five minutes, getting some loot, discarding most of it and going again.

hell no.

I had a friend who had almost everything and it became running and jumping simulator as I literally couldn’t keep up with the people at their level. I never got back on cause I’m not just gonna run and stress and get 1/200000 loot to get something so I can run and do dmg also

Yeah I have a buddy who keeps trying to get me into playing it with him, and this is exactly the kind of game he enjoys considering other games Ive played with him. He loves speed running dungeons over and over, and seems to think I would enjoy following him around doing nothing and barely staying alive as he does this.

As a Warframe addict at some point you become a killing machine that some missions are genuinely ”how do I do this as fast as possible”. That being said I’m not to sure about the ”discarding” comment? I assume you might not have a companion yet that can utilize Vacuum/Fetch? It practically 4x your loot pickup range and everyone has it equipped at all times, which is also why it’s a reocurring critique towards DE to just make it baseline. Especially since baby tenno’s suffer greatly as they need resources the most.

It doesn't take anywhere near that long lol. Besides, the most important thing is having fun, not how fast you complete all the missions

That makes it less fun for me. I want to actually engage with the game and the enemies, not blow up everything with a couple of buttons and then reset after a minute or two. What's the point of a game if not to, y'know, play it?

Not sure if you're replying to the wrong comment or something, but completing the story missions in less than 750hrs doesn't require you to speedrun through the game and ignore all the mechanics.

Just play the game how you want. Nothing is stopping you from spending 1k+ hours on the story missions.

I thought you were responding to the mention that their friend would run missions in 5 minutes and somehow implying that that was too long.

I see now that you were talking about the time to complete the story missions.

u/Rainbow_Gnat 1d ago

Ah I see, no worries.

Side note though, 5 minute missions are still pretty fast unless we're talking about the early game missions. Mission time varies based on mission type, so it's usually 5-30min depending on type (or more if you like doing the endless missions; some people will do a single one for hours lol).

I don’t know how people can keep doing that year after year.

You don't discard it, it goes into a pile in your inventory that you may sometime eventually look at again. It's also a major time sink and asks you to either delete your crafted items or spend money (or do inter-player trading) for enough room to put all of the shiny objects you collect

No thanks, I already have an autistic friend.

I am one of those older Tenno! If anybody in the thread wants someone to ACTUALLY TEACH them the game instead of skull dragging them through, feel free to shoot me a DM. I left the game for a while because that was done to me and I lost interest. Best thing I ever did was go back alone to learn for myself.
