Why are looter shooters such a mess?
Both of these have been colossal failures. Destiny 2 hasn't been much better.

Warframe is fine. It is a mess, but it's a different kind of mess so the game itself still is enjoyable.

I've been enjoying the shit out of Destiny 2.
I'm not gonna bother with the games in your pic tho.

Because the focus on looting as their sole reason for playing. Then they nerf everything to shit because they want their game to last longer, like dilluting juice with water. Also, most devs have a superiority complex and you're gonna play the way they tell you to, no balance breaking. So when the best of the best is brought down for balance reason, everything worse then it becomes shit.
And since converting a shooter to a looter is piss easy from dev's perspective you get "looters" like anthem with just a number & rarity change.
And they all try a simplify & market a stats-based genre to casuals. And as we all know it, what casuals love are statistic and math, that's why eve online and aurora are the most popular games ever.

At least war frame is free, it can be a mess if it wants. But fuck paying $60 for either Anthem or 76.

Warframe's not a looter shooter tho.

Don't call them looter shooters, it's too vague and Fallout 76 barely fits in that catagory.
They are ARPG themeparks. A combination of all the most addicting aspects of gaming created by marketers and psychologists. The problem is it's obvious they're trying to get us hooked and the end game is never fun enough.

But you shoot and loot things.

What's it called when you play the same level over and over trying to get a specific crafting resource?
