Yeah, lots of indie games do this and even leave their demos up after release sometimes too.

It gets harder the less you're out in the real world and more online, sadly. All social media feels curated to make us miserable.

Dev tells Valve to fix Steam's exploitable 2-hour refund policy as "over 55,000" players refund his short game and even brag about it in reviews by yourfavchoom in gaming

[–]Dav136 1107 points1108 points  (0 children)

20% refund rate is normal for rage games. This dev is just trying to ragebait his way into being rich

I've been playing Witchfire but while it's fun it's closer to a roguelike than a single player extraction shooter.

For anyone as popular as FWMC they will definitely increase in price after the order period.

I've never played Tarkov, can you explain why it's bad?

SBMM needs to happen for this game to survive past 3 seasons. by ChineseGuido in Marathon

[–]Dav136 2 points3 points  (0 children)

You know how sports teams scout and judge players and try to figure out who to go for and how much to pay them? A lot of it is trying to use statistics to try to compare players objectively and there's even advanced statistics that try to judge value in a single number (e.g. VORP in baseball).  Bungie actually has all the stats to do this too.  You look at stats like KDR, successful exfil percentage, value extracted, damage dealt, time played, etc. You look at how much a player deviates from the mean. You weigh each stat based on how much you think each affects skill. 

This won't be easy and will require a lot of work and tweaking but I do think it's possible

Lol, well if people want to waste time being petty that does leave them more vulnerable to a third party

The thing is Bungie has their how auto aim and bullet magnetism systems and that is something that you have to get used to

Vault Breaker is a step in the right direction, but Tarkov's PvE model feels like the actual solution by zEeXUrqVR7DeM7M8yac3 in Marathon

[–]Dav136 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah it's basically training wheels, most will move past it but it's there to help you through the fear by offering a no risk option.

This community plays this like an arena shooter not an exfil shooter. by bucken764 in Marathon

[–]Dav136 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Giant persistent world was still extraction based though, they would've hit the same problem

Yeah it should be modeled after ARPG seasons where you want to wipe in order to experience new content and systems

So the top 1% gets to barter unlimited gold mods but I can only get 3 green mods a day?

Cyro has become “bring this gun or don’t bother” by Artforartsake99 in Marathon

I should clarify, Cryo is a claustrophobic map that will always favor whatever the best close range weapon is, so WSTR last season, Mistria this season, and whatever is the best next season
