Feel free to revisit this about 2 months after this free to play MMO trash releases and has its player count fall off a cliff.

You seem to be unaware that this is basically fantasy warframe, made by the original warframe team, which has been consistently one of the most popular games on steam for years. The dev team is very successful at what they do, and they're doing more of it. It probably has one of the best monitization systems of any F2P game, with it all being cosmetics and time skips, nothing that makes you more powerful than a purely free player.

Stop posting, you know nothing about this subject and are making yourself look like bit of a numpty.

Thanks for this. I was unaware, and that sounds like it has potential.

I can’t think of a quicker way to kill a soulslike than to slap a Disney Princess label on it and fill it to the brim with micro transactions.

I will enjoy rubbing people’s faces in the failure of this soon to be forgotten trash.

Do you think a "soulslike" is defined by being dark and gritty? I find it odd that you think the inclusion of anything cute or hopeful/friendly would be only a negative. Maybe your preferences are for dark and gritty only, but I assure you that many people enjoy other styles. There's a charm to there being hope in a dying world, isn't there?

Besides, I'd say most people define "soulslike" by their gameplay, not aesthetics. Maybe the "git gud" fragile-masculinity crowd needs their unforgiving combat system paired with a dark, 'masculine' atmosphere to fulfill their power fantasy, but again, I assure you that many other types of people enjoy those games - especially Elden Ring, which has much broader appeal than the previous souls games.

I'll wager you're a toxic "git gud" type that hinges their identity on these types of games, and that's why the idea of your sacred icon being blemished by comparison to Soulframe upsets you so much. I really can't see why else anyone would be this angry over a game not being to their preferences. If people enjoy something different than you, let them. :)

Microtransaction fueled garbage is a blight on the consumer and I will always hope these greedy developers fail, aside from that the article itself is so poorly written I have to wonder if it was done by a bot.

This isn't a new game, dude. People who play it already know what they're getting into.
