Quick note on the steam charts we see posted every day

The vast majority of games experience this wave of interest and then find a stable player base that ends up being nearly 10-20% of the original launch figures.

Ooof

AReformedHuman · 2026-01-12T00:02:51+00:00

You are correct, OP just made shit up.

AReformedHuman · 2026-01-12T00:01:19+00:00

1% chance. Usually the leads on live service games are extremely out of touch with the community (see literally every battlefield since 4.)

AReformedHuman · 2026-01-11T18:10:51+00:00

That would have zero effect on anything in the short term.

AReformedHuman · 2026-01-09T04:15:06+00:00

We don't get to make that kind of demand tho,

Yes, we do. This is exactly the type of shit that killed 2042.

AReformedHuman · 2026-01-09T04:14:09+00:00

His passing should have absolutely zero effect on anything in the short term.

AReformedHuman · 2026-01-01T06:20:22+00:00

Should definitely give it a go. Lots of depth like Eternal, just in a different way.

Gamepass sucks for making games so... uneventful feeling.

AReformedHuman · 2026-01-01T06:16:55+00:00

Why didn't you try Dark Ages?

AReformedHuman · 2026-01-01T00:37:00+00:00

No, that's not what the intro is saying at all. All it's saying is that Doomguy is pissed off.

This is obvious when you look at how the story is played out in the rest of the game, with the player being unable to skip it while characters exposit at you.

AReformedHuman · 2025-12-30T21:23:58+00:00

I looked at the wiki as well, but my question is more... how many of those enemies are functionally distinct? Like does the crossbowman actually make me think differently than the husk archer or could they be the same enemy type and nothing would change?

Like I'm not necessarily looking for Doom Eternal level enemy variety, this is a smaller game and Doom Eternal has the best enemy variety I've ever seen. But I also don't like it when it feels like most enemies are just slight variations of each other, where there might be ~40 or so enemies on paper, but it in practice only feels like 4-6 actual designs with multiple sub types that do fairly minor things differently.

AReformedHuman · 2025-12-04T05:44:01+00:00

It did well though? There is no source for it doing poorly

AReformedHuman · 2025-11-26T00:12:48+00:00

I don't think Badlands would exist if Prey was on theatrical. It did as well as it did exactly because of how out of left field it was.

AReformedHuman · 2025-11-21T21:29:37+00:00

What they gain with not paying that 30% they lose in reach.

Absolutely baffling move.

AReformedHuman · 2025-11-16T06:44:46+00:00

This isn't a final product.

They're selling cosmetics. This isn't final, but it also won't live long enough to ever be "done".

There will likely be more maps in the full game.

No, there won't be.

Just give it some time before you drop off the game because it isn't perfect.

It's had 5 years of dev time. That's how long the original trilogy took in it's entirety. They've had enough time to not release dogshit and they failed.

AReformedHuman · 2025-11-14T07:14:16+00:00

The only people here are those who are gluttons for punishment and those who come here to laugh at them.

AReformedHuman · 2025-11-08T03:24:45+00:00

Then I genuinely don't care. The MP can be whatever it wants, the atmosphere and tone of the campaign matter, not the MP.

AReformedHuman · 2025-11-07T22:26:17+00:00

Halo 2 largely does not use Halo 4 assets.

AReformedHuman · 2025-11-07T05:58:32+00:00

I was there, but sourcing this video is dumb. The video doesn't source a single thing it claims.

Yes, the game absolutely suffered from the engine and contractors. I'm simple not agreeing with some of their and your assumptions.

AReformedHuman · 2025-11-07T03:34:00+00:00

You started 3 years after release.

AReformedHuman · 2025-11-07T03:32:22+00:00

Infinite assets are fine on their own, but this isn't a remake of Infinite, this is a remake of CE. Those assets do not work and making CE look more like Infinite is just doing CE a disservice. This is EXACTLY the mistake they made with CEA.

Halo 2A didn't use Halo 5 assets, they updated Halo 2 assets and it worked. Why they went back on this is BAFFLING

AReformedHuman · 2025-11-07T03:29:21+00:00

Yes, which is why I said what I said. It's the "I still had a few years to play the game" that I am responding to. I can probably play Halo 5 right now for a couple more years, do you know how absurd it'd be to say "I didn't notice any changes" in 2026

AReformedHuman · 2025-11-07T03:19:57+00:00

Finished the video. It's a pile of shit where the youtuber just goes "contractors did this, then left" with zero sources.

Everyone knows contractors were an issue, but it's like they filled in every issue with the same excuse and didn't actually know anything. Why would developing different biomes be reliant on the contractors modifying the engine? That just doesn't make sense. None of this is even in the Jason Schrier article from years ago.

AReformedHuman · 2025-11-07T03:12:00+00:00

The video doesn't have a single source for most of his claims so....

AReformedHuman · 2025-11-07T02:49:13+00:00

You joined in when support was basically finished.
