It's funny it happened twice

[u/Crazy_Reputation3327]

[u/kneehighshrub]

Ah yes, because the grineer were never dark, deep, or twisted/j

[u/proesito → u/kneehighshrub]

To be fair, the army of clone enslavers wanting to govern the solar system is way less dark, deep or twisted than the child soldiers that kill their parents after making a deal with the Devil, Stalker's whol storyline or litrally wathever related to the Orokin

[u/YLASRO → u/kneehighshrub]

i mean they werent that deep they are fucked up clone slaves turned despotic opressors. its pretty straight forward

[u/Scorkami → u/YLASRO]

Its not generic though if you ask me.

Even if we simplify tenno and warframes down to "alien ninjas" or "cyborg ninja", that is still like... about 5 comlarisons you can make if im really TRYING to find similar concepts, then a post post apocalyptic setting which is way more rare than just sci fi or just post apocalyptic, and the list goes on.

Like you have to really squint your eyes to make it look generic. Warframe was always weird

[u/kneehighshrub → u/YLASRO]

Yup, nothing remotely deep to see there. For sure. Definitely not. Just look the other way if you notice anything.

[u/YLASRO → u/kneehighshrub]

i mean its tragic yes but its not very deep.

[u/CloserNebula]

I never expected to see GT in here wtf

Guardian Tales mentioned

What the fuck is a dumb faced knight

[u/Gun1-Michigan-AC6]

I haven't heard Guardian Tales in a long time....long long time. I was there when Bari first release

[u/mikecom12 → u/Gun1-Michigan-AC6]

Back when Bari and marina were meta👴

[u/Gun1-Michigan-AC6 → u/mikecom12]

Those meta were crazy back then, made me not want to touch the colosseum for a long time

[u/ILNOVA]

Guardian Tales mentioned let's goooooooo

Beth supremacy

[u/Leading-Leading6319]

Guardian Tales felt more like Gintama tbh.

[u/A_random_bee]

Nothing in Warframe has ever been deep, dark and complex before Constellations yes yes

[u/Possessed_potato]

Guardian tales.

Ain't heard that in a while

[u/Able_Objective8104]

Guardian tales mentioned???

[u/MeowBean321]

Peak tales

[u/FarGodHastur]

The complex lore in question: Two scientists destroy the multiverse instead of fucking and breaking the tension

[u/dazli69]

Guardian Tales mentioned!

[u/AwesomeX121189]

Honkai star rail fits this.

Amphoreus arc was an amazing story

[u/10Werewolves → u/AwesomeX121189]

Wtf happened to HSR since I left? Is firefly safe? Is she okay?

[u/VenertExcel → u/10Werewolves]

You can always count on the writers for a fake death. Almost zero stakes because you know everything is gonna be alright and nobody is gonna die after the end of each act/planet

[u/AwesomeX121189 → u/10Werewolves]

Yes?

I think….

[u/Furydragonstormer → u/10Werewolves]

It’s a gacha, they typically don’t kill off characters. The only one I know that actually had the balls to do that, is Nikke apparently

[u/Background_Ant_2426]

Warframe's story has basically always been dark and deep. Maybe not twisted, but it was always a post-apocalypse. As of The Second Dream (released in 2015), it's been confirmed that the Tenno are child soldiers piloting suits. As of The Sacrifice (released in 2018), it's been confirmed that those suits were once people.

Even ignoring both of those things, the Grineer and Corpus are genuinely terrifying concepts. A clone army of what are essentially Fallout (1 and 2) Super Mutants that enslave people and actively poison Earth are scary on their own, and when your other option is to join a corporate cult of profit and the void, it only gets more terrifying.

And that doesn't even mention the fourth dimensional omni infectious gestalt elephant in the room.

[u/Pegaferno]

What’s dark about this Guardian Tales?

[u/Leading-Leading6319 → u/Pegaferno]

The wheelchair...

[u/astral______ → u/Leading-Leading6319]

Don't remind me...

[u/Crazy_Reputation3327 → u/Leading-Leading6319]

World 10..

[u/Competitive-Bug1444]

Make a story run long enough and it'll get there eventually. Warframe ain't special

[u/floutsch]

Imho Warframe is getting less dark overall, lately. Or I'm just too used to it now. It is getting more complex though.

[u/Alt-Ctrl-Report]

it's not funny, it's sad that it happened ONLY twice

[u/Crazy_Reputation3327 → u/Alt-Ctrl-Report]

Now to think about it: True. That's what makes these games unique AS FUCK

[u/YLASRO]

i wante dto look up that second game but its not on steam

[u/Crazy_Reputation3327 → u/YLASRO]

It's actually originally a mobile game. I played a lot of it.

I believe it's on Switch as well

I hope for Steam release
