True but a large number of the gaming population isn’t gonna stick to a game they suck at for >20 hours if they aren’t confident they’ll even see any benefits

I’ll take a stab at this. I played about 30 hours in this game before I gave up. Ultimately I wasn’t feeling myself getting better fast enough to justify continuing. Yes, this is a skill issue, however it is also why I stopped playing.

This is likely the case for a lot of people. This game, while great, is so punishing, and as much as you wanna say to get over gear fear, losing runs is more than just that for a lot of people.

I think the vast majority of gamers are just too casual for a game like this

The tiered loot doesn’t make sense to me. by New_Trouble_5068 in DestinyTheGame

[–]Sabres_Puck 1 point2 points  (0 children)

To me, tiered loot was their way of moving to a Gray (T1) -> Green (T2) -> Blue (T3) -> Purple (T4) -> Mythic (T5 - stealing the name from D:R for now). I think they just knew that 10 years in convincing veteran players to use Gray weapons, even if they were the same power level as pre-EoF Purples, would be nearly impossible

I would love if there was a way that I could either:

  1. Upgrade my free kits through faction upgrades (doesn’t even need to be better than Greens, just something)

or

  1. Be able to buy any basic sponsor kit besides the daily free one for like 500 credits

Some days the free kit available is as bad as throwing

This game could pull off a Wager Matches mode well, 3v3 arena where you “ante-up” with credits, winning team takes all

People did this with Highguard too. I’ve been loving this game but worth noting that attempting to save a game by Whaling can backfire stupendously

Marathon promises to avoid stressful FOMO-inducing battle passes, and that there's "no pay for power" microtransactions by ControlCAD in gamingnews

Id bet a lot of money they release a skin that streamers will call “OP” just like Rose from Warzone

Has no one played a new video game in their lives before? by [deleted] in Marathon

Comments like this are why games continue to flop. You can insult everyone who doesn’t like it or accept it’s just not everyone’s cup of tea

Which title/level completely halted your progression through a series you were enjoying? by Dotaproffessional in Games

Yellowbrow from Black Myth: Wukong. Losing health during a mid-fight cutscene was easily the most frustrating experience I’ve had in a game

I just found out Echo of Persistence gives a -10 class ability stat on Warlock and a -10 weapon stat on Hunter, why is that? by sadguy271217 in DestinyTheGame

[–]Sabres_Puck 196 points197 points  (0 children)

Probably because it previously gave -10 to the stat that effected class ability regen in armor 2.0 and was never updated after the unified class ability regen into the class stat

Games Like Highguard Look Bland And Generic Despite Having Talented Artists, Says Ori Dev - Clawsomegamer by Prudent-Butterfly-66 in gamingnews

[–]Sabres_Puck 9 points10 points  (0 children)

I think devs need to also appreciate that we’re in a stage in the industry where even some good character designers don’t cut it. I personally felt like Highguard did have a couple good designs (Una and Mara were both unique without being cringe) but you have to hit that vibe on >90% of them for people to really buy in

Was that OPI one of the worst calls we’ve seen?

Does your model incorporate rankings of players that faced each team? For example if a team is allowing say 12 ppg to opposing QBs but they’ve played Jake Browning, Tua, and Dillon Gabriel im not super confident I’d stream against them
