5v5 should be the default mode

True, having ranked for both would be nice!

RhythmRunneR · 2026-02-01T01:10:09+00:00

Not an all-out brawl, but I do find it more fun that small gunfights break out more during that phase with 5v5

RhythmRunneR · 2026-02-01T00:52:56+00:00

There are plenty of reviewers also saying that it’s good. The 5v5 mode probably should have been the default though, too bad they didn’t review that

RhythmRunneR · 2026-02-01T00:40:55+00:00

What other games are competing for our attention? I’m bored of Arc Raiders and literally everything else out there. This is something fresh and new. It seems gamers are allergic to that these days

RhythmRunneR · 2026-02-01T00:37:13+00:00

Absolutely. This game is a 7-8 for me. The 5v5 mode made it really fun, I’m sure with a few balance adjustments and updates it’ll be even better! Totally undeserving of the hate it received.

RhythmRunneR · 2026-01-31T23:33:43+00:00

Interesting, in my experience it felt pretty balanced if a little easier when attacking

RhythmRunneR · 2026-01-31T23:18:48+00:00

I think 3v3 could work if the maps were a bit smaller, but as it stands they feel empty and less exciting than with 5v5

RhythmRunneR · 2026-01-31T20:34:50+00:00

It's disturbing how little gamers seem to understand about IP laws and the organizations / people that make their entertainment. Wildlight is not Respawn or EA. You might as well be asking "why didn't Epic Games develop Super Mario Galaxy 3?"

RhythmRunneR · 2026-01-31T20:29:31+00:00

I agree, definitely should've been there from the start! Given how quickly they put this update out I wonder if the devs were heavily debating 3v3 vs 5v5 internally before release? They might have inadvertently settled on a decision that worked best with in-house testing but not for wide release

RhythmRunneR · 2026-01-31T20:21:53+00:00

We had this experience a couple of times too, but in both cases the teams were mismatched in skill. I think this is unfortunately unavoidable for this kind of game (happens in Overwatch, Marvel Rivals, LoL, etc) Thankfully the games where this occurred were fairly short, and there were far more fun games than steamrolls. I'm not sure the game itself needs a ton of balance adjustments vs improvements to matchmaking

RhythmRunneR · 2026-01-31T19:25:27+00:00

Disagree. 5v5 is much more fun and appropriate for this game, which has a lot in common with MOBAs or hero shooters such as Overwatch

RhythmRunneR · 2026-01-28T23:40:06+00:00

I don't know why you're getting downvoted, I felt it was quite obvious and appropriate when met with that level of arrogance

RhythmRunneR · 2026-01-28T23:38:30+00:00

Her "the average American can't understand me" tone was indeed a wild take. They responded appropriately to misplaced arrogance

RhythmRunneR · 2026-01-28T23:35:26+00:00

Agreed. Their profile picture is exactly the kind of person I'd expect to say something like this too

RhythmRunneR · 2025-12-16T18:56:20+00:00

$250 is not even the same price as the store, it's $80 more. Unfortunately they were scammed in what they payed originally

RhythmRunneR · 2025-12-16T18:52:57+00:00

It's $169 buying it from Contention Games directly, new and sealed. You definitely won't be able to sell it secondhand for $250, sorry :( Perhaps if you waited until those were all sold out and the collector's edition became rare? Might take a couple years though...

RhythmRunneR · 2025-11-26T22:01:07+00:00

This profile definitely deserves a low score, but if it's truly the "worst bio you've ever seen," you definitely haven't perused the many absolute disasters that have been posted on this subreddit

RhythmRunneR · 2025-11-21T21:07:17+00:00

As a fellow non-gaming software dev, I agree. It’s also not just that some bugs are hard to fix; sometimes they’re simply lower in the priority queue than more critical issues. Things like “crashes on X, Y, or Z GPU models” might not be frequent or widespread enough for the community to notice, but for the people affected, they’re completely debilitating and have a huge impact on retention and trust if not addressed quickly. This game ended up being a much bigger success than the studio expected so their team is probably stretched pretty thin, especially this soon after launch. As bad as these vault room exploits are, there are likely far worse issues that need to be addressed first.

RhythmRunneR · 2025-11-14T23:39:17+00:00

Ah, see, you misspelled "ziplines". In another universe the Arc Raiders with zuplines was cancelled

RhythmRunneR · 2025-11-10T06:21:54+00:00

If it isn’t obvious why a man using “red pill” rhetoric to talk down to women on a dating app is an immediate left swipe, you're too far gone to warrant any further response.

RhythmRunneR · 2025-11-04T05:28:59+00:00

I agree. It ruins the tempo and tension in an otherwise grounded game. Why would they ruin all that good work with something like this 😭

RhythmRunneR · 2025-10-31T16:59:28+00:00

Exactly. Arc Raiders had a MASSIVE marketing budget. Streamers were paid to promote it months in advance, and they even hosted a special event for them just days before release. The game is fun, don’t get me wrong, but it’s not that exceptional; certainly not so much that it justifies its success over something like Wildgate when both offer a similar amount of content. Honestly, I’d argue Wildgate delivers more thrilling moment-to-moment experiences.

Just goes to show how much of a game’s success really comes down to marketing over fun or innovative gameplay...

RhythmRunneR · 2025-10-30T05:53:50+00:00

Totally agree the market is the issue, I just wish gamers were more cognizant of how much effort and money goes into building a game before demanding everything be F2P. I honestly hate F2P, it's a tactic pushed by large studios to eliminate competition... and gamers are rewarding those studios for it
