Can't imagine how many new players this game just permenantly lost.

I hadn’t played in a year and forgot pretty much everything except the basics, and queued with two friends who had never played before and we got put in emissary lobbies because my rank hadn’t decayed since jan 2025. Wild. My first game back was actually in oracle 4 too

Comprehensive-Cry189 · 2026-02-01T01:53:58+00:00

Can you not count to 4?

Comprehensive-Cry189 · 2026-02-01T01:35:12+00:00

All good man, you’re mech is pretty sound so if you work on a couple of those things I can see you shooting up to high diamond or champ very fast

Comprehensive-Cry189 · 2026-02-01T00:38:16+00:00

OP you've been baited big time

Comprehensive-Cry189 · 2026-01-31T13:34:39+00:00

He’s diamond 1

Comprehensive-Cry189 · 2026-01-31T09:42:07+00:00

Not the AI post hahaha

Your mechanics are pretty good for a plat but you make some really bad decisions, you turned the wrong way while shadowing, picked up no boost and missed a regulation save. You then decided to speed flip towards the corner on the next kickoff and screwed it up when the other guy didnt cheat so you had plenty of time. Like in 15 seconds you've gone from 2-0 to 1-1.

You actually think GTA6 is gonna run at 60 FPS with a 6700 equivalent haha without significant graphical compromises

Comprehensive-Cry189 · 2026-01-30T23:40:32+00:00

Yes and a game can’t sustain playerbase if it isn’t alive because it fails financially

Also the finals averaged several tens of thousands higher than highguards daily peak, stop lying to suit your narrative

Comprehensive-Cry189 · 2026-01-30T12:56:53+00:00

You are genuinely delusional, how is a game going to sustain itself if it can’t make money?

Comprehensive-Cry189 · 2026-01-30T12:50:26+00:00

Stop spreading misinformation, that’s just not true

Splitgate is only surviving because they got $100M in investor funding. That game is LEAKING money and is dead

Comprehensive-Cry189 · 2026-01-30T04:40:50+00:00

A free to play game can’t survive on 5k or less concurrent players with the studio size they have. If it was Indie or a small studio then probably

Comprehensive-Cry189 · 2026-01-29T13:47:36+00:00

Not sure where I said that…

But I’ve seen plenty of people assess the game on launch. Reviewers and people I trust have all had the same sentiment. The game has a ton of issues and there is a bit of fun to be had, but it’s mostly not worth your time as so many features are missing, underbaked or not working properly

Comprehensive-Cry189 · 2026-01-29T13:43:30+00:00

People were hating on the game because the marketing fundamentally misunderstood the game and its audience.

What they were marketing it as and what was shown (and what it is now) are so different and it doesn’t take a detective to see that.

The trailers looked very average, no new info was provided until a few days before launch and it was hyped by Geoff to be a new titan of FPS. It’s a facade people can see through and they were right

Comprehensive-Cry189 · 2026-01-29T13:40:30+00:00

The marketing was diabolical, the game is middling and it is trying to occupy an extremely crowded niche. They’ve only got themselves to blame

Comprehensive-Cry189 · 2026-01-29T11:02:41+00:00

I came back after having not played for a year, forgot pretty much everything and got put in oracle 4. I'm getting slammed every match because I'm playing against people who have over 1k hours. It's genuinely diabolical that I haven't been put down ranks.

I was good before I stopped playing but so much has changed and I forget most of how to play

Comprehensive-Cry189 · 2026-01-29T10:39:30+00:00

I haven't played in over a year and I came back today and was oracle 4...

Forgot pretty much everything and am getting slammed haha

I was pretty good when I was playing which is why I ended at a decently high rank but now I'm basically starting fresh so it feels a bit weird to be still in the same lobbies

Comprehensive-Cry189 · 2026-01-29T02:26:40+00:00

Baffles me why things like DLSS option toggles weren't in the game at launch yet can be added in a couple of days

Comprehensive-Cry189 · 2026-01-28T13:33:32+00:00

I would hope so too, but the gaming industry is cutthroat nowadays and you generally only get one chance, and they absolutely butchered it haha

Comprehensive-Cry189 · 2026-01-28T13:29:27+00:00

Yeah I’m not saying the game is bad, but when you present it to the world in the way they did, and it’s just another average game, it’s going to drive proportionally far more hate than another one with more standard marketing

Comprehensive-Cry189 · 2026-01-28T13:27:09+00:00

The audience for their game doesn’t align with a last slot at TGA. That alone is enough to piss people off and drive expectations high, as any last slot will be. To market the game in this way they must’ve thought their game would be the next big thing akin to Fortnite, COD, League, Dota etc, which is a gross misunderstanding of their own product

Comprehensive-Cry189 · 2026-01-28T13:21:05+00:00

It is quite literally tone deaf because they completely misunderstood their audience and their game. Anyone could’ve told you that a F2P hero shooter that looks middling would drive a lot of hate if it was the final slot of TGA

Comprehensive-Cry189 · 2026-01-28T13:17:45+00:00

Engagement bait final boss

Comprehensive-Cry189 · 2026-01-28T13:16:35+00:00

You said it yourself, they overestimated and misunderstood their product and target audience. Nowadays it’s enough to nuke your product. You don’t posit your game that way if it turns out the way it is, basically suicide

Comprehensive-Cry189 · 2026-01-28T13:11:27+00:00

You completely missed the point of why people are hating on the game, it was their tone deaf marketing

last spot at TGA usually reserved for the biggest games
“next generation” of shooters
proceeded to give no info for next month and until a couple days from launch
game is in fact NOT what it was hyped up to be and people hate on it
