Warframes aren't actually horrible technocite mutants. They're flesh puppets piloted by ugly children on the moon, hidden in the void by the Lotus because her mommy dom fetish was stronger than her dad's order to wipe out the universe. They just thought they were people because the kids were dreaming that they were their warframes. Now that they're woke, the ugly children take active roles in the missions you do and literally never shut up about how strong their warframe is, how capitalism is like a cult, and muh honor.

Don't you have to eat the people you shapeshift into? I liked the game because it's the only Guyver simulator out there. A shame they dumped the suit in the sequel and just made it an alternate dlc skin.

When I last played, Saryn melted entire groups by herself. Her 4th ability got affected by duration reduction positively and everything it touched died instantly. I'm guessing they've nerfed that now?

I was really happy about Haunting Ground because you have to use a special typewriter to create tablets that will issue commands to the golems blocking paths in parts of the level. You can write out complex commands to move them around the room or if you know your jewish monsters you can give them the death command causing them to immediately crumble into nothing.
But I can't think of a game with playable golems right now. Aside from Monster Rancher, but I don't think he's even in the most recent ones.

>>384548973
More of the same. Infested infesting things, Grineer getting fucked over by everything, Corpus doing fuck all. All the new story stuff revolves around your miracle potato child. I think concerning the actual game from the time you've played you missed out on Spy missions and Archwing, which is to say you aren't missing out on anything. There's going to be an open world level soon with fishing and world bosses and player invasions. Probably going to be pretty underwhelming since DE has never made a good boss and PVP has never been fun.

To the ground. I miss it, especially since the nerf came about a week after I got her.
There's some fuckery with augment mods (adds to or changes a warframe's ability) and her spores that makes her okay, but it needs a status weapon to work (IE Ignis) and is honestly too much effort compared to mindless radial javelin(excal is gud now)/stomp/avalanche/etc spam.
>>
>>384546731
technology is almost always more interesting if you can only have one because most fantasy just rips off lord of the rings or dungeons and dragons (or both) and ends up being boring
the best of course is having both at the same time

Specifically I would like more games set in the 1800s, but I just want more games that will immerse me in a place and time in history rather than a fictional universe.

I think the concept of fantasy worlds that have developed enough to have their own advanced technology in a "modern age" comparable to ours is pretty cool.
Sadly, I've only seen this in Final Fantasy and Yuushibu (extremely good world building for an ecchi anime). There's also Arcanum but it's set in an industrial revolution era.
>>
>>384546731
Tech is generally more interesting than magic.

Most video game magic is "shoot fire, shoot ice, shoot lightning" with added debuffs for each. It may also extend to things like summoning minions or undead, healing, or changing environmental effects but really magic in video games has nothing new to offer, unless I'm just not looking in the right places.

In some cases, you can go way too far with the magitech and it's barely distinguishable from sci-fi. Asurans in Guild Wars 2 are a pretty bad offender and they're blatantly sci-fi in a setting where the second most advanced race is at a steampunk level of technology.

One thing I'd like to see with Magitech is more inherently magical classes who make use of advanced technology. I'm talking wizards who can magically guide bullets, shoot fireballs or make deflective armour enhanced with some sort of wind enchantment.
>>
>>384549390
X is cool and all, but I'm talking Wizards in mechs that are like conjuring fireballs the size of villages.

Xenogears is actually pretty close, the ether spells you cast while in your mechs are pretty big

Definitely need to check out the Trails in the Sky series if that's a setting you like. The games take place 50+ years after the discovery of effectively infinite power leads to a massive modernization in distinct fantasy kingdoms, creating a massive disconnect between the populace and technology. People went from serfdom to internet in one generation, with all of the social problems that would bring. Really cool stuff.

Casting a Gravity field to increase gravity 10x folds so its joints go to fuck themselves.
Molding the earth under their feet so they get trapped in a hole with no hope of getting out.
Summoning elementals made of either water or fire to invalidate its every weapons and attack it from within.
Summoning a creature from the nine hells to simply point it into scrap metal.
Using undeath/necromancy spells to directly affect the mortal pilot and easily take away his life.
Simply warp it into another dimension since a mecha is an inanimate object with no inherent while to resist a dimensional portal.
Use transmutation to mold the steel/titanium into toilet paper and laugh as it crumbles.
