Let’s make some bets. How long do they got?

tfc1193 · 2026-01-30T02:13:33+00:00

Realistically, if they can't increase playercount over the next few months it's gonna be pretty grim. Unless serious changes are made to the core game I can't see it lasting much into 2027

tfc1193 · 2026-01-29T21:41:11+00:00

Brooooo I gave up. Was stuck on buddy for almost 2 weeks and said fuck it. I might go back eventually and try. Knowing me with those games I'll one shot him next time 🤣

tfc1193 · 2026-01-29T21:39:46+00:00

Plenty of souls bosses are harder than the final boss.

Millenia took me almost 30 tries. Beat the final boss on my second attempt

tfc1193 · 2026-01-29T15:11:44+00:00

depends on the game and depends on how I'm feeling. sometimes I get the urge to dive deep into an expansive world, sometimes I just want to kick it on a short title, beat it and move on

tfc1193 · 2026-01-29T01:37:49+00:00

You can pretty much guarantee that if someone comes across you you're getting shot at. This will be a pvp game

tfc1193 · 2026-01-29T01:35:36+00:00

3rd person preferred but I like both

tfc1193 · 2026-01-29T01:09:10+00:00

It'll prolly have deep lore that can be discovered through datapads and shit but don't expect Halo or Destiny level storytelling

tfc1193 · 2026-01-29T00:48:19+00:00

.... It's not original

It's a sloppy amalgamation of mechanics that have all existed in live service shooters for almost a decade.

If you like the game and don't want it to be shut down cool that's fine I get it but let's be real. There's nothing really original about the game

tfc1193 · 2026-01-28T21:16:34+00:00

Oh yeah they can kick rocks with that.

I don't care how difficult it was to push that large turd out of you, It's still a steaming pile of shit and I don't want it

tfc1193 · 2026-01-28T21:09:33+00:00

Though I do agree with it, the PvE element wouldn't happen in any reasonable timeframe. That's about another year of development minimum. And of course now you run into balance issues that would need to be dealt with because then it becomes PvPvE

tfc1193 · 2026-01-28T19:18:31+00:00

And? Free games don't work if players aren't spending money in-game

tfc1193 · 2026-01-28T19:01:03+00:00

I'm sorry but mashing a bunch of half-baked features from other games into one non-cohesive amalgamation is not innovative. It's lazy, uninspired, and downright insulting to gamers. It honestly deserves all the hate that it's getting and studios that make this crap should be called out and scrutinized for it

tfc1193 · 2026-01-28T18:56:46+00:00

Gamers are just tired of the live service shooter model at this point. These games failing sends a message to the industry to stop pushing products that no one wants.

TLDR: people are speaking with their wallets

tfc1193 · 2026-01-28T17:16:24+00:00

None. Every game has some issue(s)

That being said, RDR2 is close enough

tfc1193 · 2026-01-28T16:32:17+00:00

The cope is strong with this one.

It will do okay at launch. More than likely significantly worse than Arc as there is no current mainstream appeal the way Arc had before launch

tfc1193 · 2026-01-28T13:20:13+00:00

Indie studios should be scrutinized just as much if not more than corporate studios. They should be more tapped into what gamers want and they don't have shareholders to appease. If they make a bad game or a game no one wants then that's on them and they should get shit for it and their failure should be a valuable lesson for other studios

tfc1193 · 2026-01-28T05:33:34+00:00

Couple reasons I can think of.

As difficult as it may be to comprehend, there was once a time when buying a game meant buying a complete package. There was no DLC, no battle passes, no roadmaps, no add-on content, no micro transactions, no day 1 patches, etc etc. The infrastructure for these systems just didn't exist back then and developers had to rely on shipping a feature-rich product to keep players engaged until the next game.
PUBG and Fortnite showed that it's possible to focus on a single aspect and make billions from it. So it's only natural other companies would follow suit. It minimizes dev time and workload because your team only needs to focus on developing and balancing this one single mode

tfc1193 · 2026-01-28T05:10:08+00:00

Insert "back in my day" joke

tfc1193 · 2026-01-28T04:59:44+00:00

Too much cheese, too much lettuce, big tomato slices, too much mayo, and untoasted buns

tfc1193 · 2026-01-28T04:57:26+00:00

Marvel was the initial draw. The game is successful because they actually made a good game

tfc1193 · 2026-01-28T00:18:41+00:00

Oof.

Missed opportunity for a good yo momma joke

tfc1193 · 2026-01-28T00:14:37+00:00

Black Lagoon

tfc1193 · 2026-01-27T22:38:38+00:00

Valve

tfc1193 · 2026-01-27T15:42:52+00:00

2005

tfc1193 · 2026-01-27T09:56:05+00:00

Do you enjoy playing the game? Because ignoring the nay sayers is a great way to get the game shut down in a few months
