Yet that's just it. DE has a great core game, but they try to be everything. They add a crappy flight sim. Then they mod that into a slow and boring sub game. Then the operator mode. Then they add this DDR wannabe BS.

It's a lot of effort for very little payoff. At best it's largely ignored, at worst it's hated. Few people bother getting good at it, because your time is best spent at the 95% that makes up the main game, rather than the oddball concept that DE throws at the wall and hopes something, anything will stick.

The attempts to integrate the gimmicks tend to fall flat. Yes, you can sort of do spy vaults as your Operator, and there are mandatory swimming sections in some missions, but most people don't reach out for that voluntarily (perhaps your Operator to compensate for a very poor stealth build). I'd like to see some reason to use your Operator during general gameplay. I'd like to be able to swoop into Arch Wing mode after breaking some Corpus windows, only to find another vulnerable part of the ship or structure elsewhere on the level, and enter there. Not a mandatory segment, but freedom to use our tools as we please.

Despite the sheer awesomeness of Warframe, it's as though DE is stunned at their own success with no idea of how they made a good game.
