+1 to Warframe.

+1 to Blacklight Retribution -> DAT ART, DAT SHOOTER

I like it a lot.

Those two sum it up for me. So many hours sunk in Warframe...I want that prime soma/vasto/sentinel/volt

on it,right now.

Btw, i tried War Thunder. It's really not my type but maybe @R-T-B will like it more. No use doing a mini review ,cuz i only played it for 1 hour. What i can say is that it does NOT look free to play! The menu,witch is the first thing you see is very professionally made. From the beginning you can adjust graphics details set res etc. You even get a 5.1 surround sound option and it's absolutely worth it. The graphics are gorgeous and it even runs 60+ fps (adjusted settings) even on low end computers like mine.
There is nothing that you can buy. It' actually 100% free, unbelievable. The controls fit like a glove mouse+keyboard, but i guess it would be super fun on a joystick (especially for the plane)

The overall quality of this game is very impressive and all FREE! To bad it's not my type. I found it all very difficult and just was not into it.

I may like it then. I'm more into simulator games which is why it was thrown at me as a recommendation.

Too bad my computer is currently in the midst of a reinstall due to a spyware issue I just didn't want to deal with...

Blacklight has the most retarded damage model I've seen in ages. It has a health meter that doesn't even matter, because you insta die anyway...

I can cosign with the above on the love that Warframe has recieved. I haven't seen anymore mention "Skyforge". It's relatively new. Gorgeous game though with a F2P model that's fair though it has a premium option. I'm definitely a fan of both PoE(Path of Exiles) and MH(Marvel Heroes).

Hit me up on steam. When I'm not reviewing I'm farming, and I can farm pretty much everything right now.

It's good to have farming buddies, gets difficult to find groups for the more obscure items. Like for example, farming a Rhino Prime Helmet blueprint is super easy, but near impossible to find a group, cause nobody does T1/T2 Mobile Defence anymore!

Back in a day I used to play lots of Combat Arms. It actually superseded my likes towards CS:Source and TF2 at certain point. Later it just got boring.

Warframe by far is the best FTP game out there. There are some technical issues with the game (my region suffers from constant lags and disconnects), but when it works - it is excellent. Farming is a big part of the game, but it is a lot more fun than farming in other games... There are some cool things later in game (pvp faction missions, side quests etc), but the progression is kinda slow and you cannot do it solo. Which is why RCoon has to organize a Warframe party, and I'll gladly join after a 4 month break. :toast:

Ahh.. the RPrime pieces..... almost as much fun as the Booben stuff

I'll have to look you up, 'Coon. It's been a long time since I played, but wouldn't mind running some farming with someone here

Fired up Hawken for the sake of good times. I was a bit rubbish, but good thing is, while I wasn't playing the game, I received quite some upgrades and purchase points so I was able to buy G2 Assault mech with dual Vulcan XT chainguns. Which is a terror and destruction in close quarter combat. Muahahaha

TERA a Korean action MMORPG paid for by people buying outfits for characters. By far the best F2P MMO as far as the business model goes.

Robocraft is a fun F2P game about building robots however it's not finished and the balance, game modes and progress speed are all over the place. I quit due to a game mode change a couple weeks ago. I'll come back once I can do more than just play death match.

Is that since the new parity patch? Last i played it I was always running around with 101/202 health after my first encounter. Admittedly I ran armor heavy builds but still.
