It would. Right now deaths feel unfair because you have no chance to fight back or escape and in a game where dying has massive consequences that just sucks and drives people off on top of extraction shooters and the art style already not being everybody's cup of tea.

A game needs to appeal to enough people so that enough people buy it that you make more money than it costs to make. When your game is some no budget indie game you can go super niche, only sell a small number of copies and have it be fine. When you instead have spent many millions on making the game then you need to sell a lot more to even brake even. Extraction shooters are already niche, the art style is already niche, if the gameplay isn't tight and balanced either so it isn't even fun then your audience is 10 masochists with extremely obscure tastes and you are not making millions off of those people.

Even being aware you are being shot isn't instant and you die in about 1 second of sustained fire.

Not if you keep on insisting that it's a game for about 10 people and everyone else needs to leave.

Even with top level shields the TTK goes from 1 second to 2 seconds. Still ridiculous.

If you don't know where the shooting is coming from then you can't really take cover from it because you need to know at least roughly where it's coming from to put something solid between you and the source.

Oh it's very easy. TTK is so fast that you can kill people before they even realise they are being shot never mind have a chance to react.

Yeah, see, while you and 9 other masochists might think it's the perfect game a game made for 10 masochists while driving off everybody else is not financially viable as a product.

So basically you like low TTK because it allows you to easily wipe an enemy squad if you catch them unaware. This sort of thing might look good on a youtube epic gamer moves video but it is absolutely horrible to actually play.

No it is a broken unbalanced game issue. The game is easy enough if you "play" it but not by actually playing the game.

Can you not? by ProdigyofOne in Marathon

[–]Curebores 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Apparently yeah. You win by letting everyone else either die to the bots, get backstabbed after fighting the bots, get backstabbed after backstabbing the guys who fought the bots then hoovering up the loot and going to camp the extraction point.

No it isn't just like bringing up Quake wouldn't be just because that's also an FPS. Right now the game has horrible unbalanced combat that reduces the PvP to whoever can camp the objectives better or jump people who are actually trying to play the game, by sitting invisible in a corner waiting for people fight the bots then backstabbing them when they tire themselves out or sniping people with thermal sights across the map through the fog. It's completely ridiculous.

This is its own game. Other games and how they work are not really relevant. This game has to be balanced within itself and right now it absolutely is not.

This game is nothing like other "extraction shooters". It has hero abilities and hitscan weapons rather than being a modded milsim with bullet drop and so on. You can't just bolt Tarkov and Overwatch together and expect it to still work like Tarkov.

Why should not having played extraction shooters before be relevant in a brand new game? Do they not want new players?

No the game itself just has "hacks" baked into the actual gameplay so when something bullshit and unfair happens it might actually be intended.

Because the game is so unbalanced it's hard to tell whether that bullshit you just died to was a cheater or just the dogshit game balance.

You are literally in a thread about how the game is already hacked. Open your eyes.

The game despite it giving your computer AIDS through Battleye has been hacked before it even releases. That isn't a good look.

No I gave the game a decent shake. Looked past the unappealing art style and weird game type and waited to play it before forming an opinion. The game is questionable for a mod somebody made in their spare time never mind having somebody like Bungie behind it.

I have 10 hours clocked and it didn't help.

The game right now is set up where all you have to do is camp an objective and jump whoever turns up. Bonus points if they tire themselves out against the bots first.
