      There is something wrong with it, people are OBSESSED with player counts. I’ve slowly watched this “game is dying” narrative spring up over the past few months out of seemingly nowhere. All while people leave the game because of it. It’s a self fulfilling prophecy.
      The game has a lot of players still, 20k in the past 24 hrs on steam alone is nothing to scoff at. But everyone is so obsessed with player numbers because of games like Fortnite, that 20k is apparently a “dead game”

      The game is really repetitive. Theres really only 1 game mode so after a few games it gets really repetitive. Apex is repetitive as hell but at least that game has a few other modes to play. There's nothing to do in the game at all. I played it for 1 day and got bored after a few hours.

      @TehWithershins Před měsícem +6

      @@BarakaTheGreat True, the game is still going strong and 20-30k concurrent players is more than respectable, especially since there is also a healthy console player base. I think the skepticism also has much to do with the (relative) lack of Twitch viewership, which has become synonymous with success when it comes to competitive FPS games. Supporting streamers and scouting big names willing to give the game a spin seems like a good marketing trajectory for the folks over at Embark and Nexon at the moment.

I've played games where theres issues that dont get fixed until a month into the new season, or the bugs will stay in the game for a year, and the devs just don't care, but Embark changed out majority of the issues the community complained about.

    Idea of a game mode:
    Goal: reach $50,000
    - 3 teams (of 5)
    - 1 kill earns $1,000
    - 15 min per round
    - No respawn time
    Special features of the mode:
    Bonuses of $5,000 appear one by one (like cashboxes) during the game.
    The players have the choice or not to take them.
    If a player takes it he must survive 1 min with this bounty, and his position is revealed.
    However, if a player from an opposing team kills him, he recovers this bonus instantly and the 1 minute timer continues.

    Even I noticed this trend, and I asked a few people I know in my village about the effects of Covid on public nighttime, and they told me a lot of people stopped coming outside and it changed the state of the village at night. So many people started staying inside instead of going outside. Though, to be honest, I was never really social prior to Covid as well, because I'm very much fine not talking to people for months if I pursue some cool new hobby, so this was new for me to hear. But anyways, I was thankful for them giving me information about the effects of Covid that I have been researching in my village.

    I believe that what is happening with The Finals will also happen with XDefiant, or any other new FPS. The point is that there are other FPS that are already consolidated on the market, and even though these games are not having a good time with their community, companies know how to bring them back. I'll use my example, I'm a Battlefield player, and EA/DICE knows that if it delivers at least a BF4 experience, the community will return to playing, and this example applies to COD, Warzone, Apex, etc. So I believe that Embark will need to be very cautious, and follow the plan so as not to spend money in the wrong way.

My jacked friend sees the physio every week to make sure he is ok. It’s just stupid that these kids think it’s healthy.
    Also another thing is the fact that the gym influencers post these things. Bet you most know that they are influencing kids. They are almost encouraging kids to take these medications work out way too much and damage their body. Now being a swimmer I may know more about the long therm effects of over the top working out. But gym influencers know way better and they still make these videos showing how jacked they are probably knowing that kids will try and copy them. It’s annoying that the influencers doing this is trying to attract attention but the kids don’t know the side effects of doing what they are doing.

    @Ottr, you say the issue is that it isnt fun to play heavy at one point in the video 27:30 (and I personally agree because I am a light main) but I wonder if the more underlying issue is that heavy requires support to be good, aka teamwork and team coordination. And that doesnt exist in casual.
    I think heavy would be very enjoyable to play with a healer and a team that actually worked around my utility.

    I have quit some games due to my playstyle being nerfed, then I learned a new one, and it got nerfed too, etc. The Finals has zero chance of me quitting (cuz its the best 3 man team shooter out there) but ffs the nerfs are annoying as hell!!! 💀

    The only frustrating thing I found in the Final is matchmaking. I don't play tournaments, I don't care about rating or whatever - I play videogames to get portion of adrenaline and dopamine after boring or stressing working day. I expect the game will give me competitive environment, I expect my teammates and opponents will have close levels, I expect "close" game. But instead, it drops me to absolutely non-competitive games when one single team dominates on the battlefield and crushes the rest teams. And the game keeps doing this each time, 10-20 in a row, I keep getting smashed. This demotivates, so I deleted the finals after over 100 hours of playing, maybe one day I will try again, but not now

      anyone that doesn't spend time on something and comes in with the expectation of being on equal footing is just wild to me, imagine joining a basketball team and thinking you stand equal with every player in the league, imagine being a surgeon and being equally skilled as every surgeon, while the majority of player bases can be casual, you NEVER see them because they are casual, they play for an hour or less and get off, because of life like you mentioned, at any given time the majority of them aren't playing, so when MM who do you expect to see more frequently, Ol man Greg who's at work/relaxing/feeding their children or little Jimmy who's spent that last 14 hours on the game, answer is a bunch of little Jimmies. goes for any game, the only way for a casual to be on equal footing is to become an non casual.

They go to the basketball court and "matchmaker" says - "you will play against high-school basketball team". While on the neighboring basketball court "matchmaker" does the same - 13yo vs high-school basketball team. Why not sort them out? I know I'm in lower(st) league and I would like to play with someone like me. I suspect, this was done to minimize queue(wait) time, but I'm ok to wait several minutes and then play "enjoying" game.

    Giving players data from the game will always be a bad idea. If you look at it from a game design standpoint, I think it becomes very obvious why.
    The game designer's goal is to create the best gaming experience they possibly can. One very important ingredient for achieving this is accurately interpretting player data, and making changes to the game based on observations. As soon as this type of data becomes available for the player base, the developers lose all controll they had over balance. When players have detailed data, they will start to "game the system" by exploiting known metrics and algorithms. This can lead to behaviors where players optimize their in-game strategies based on the most effective known data patterns rather than engaging with the game as designed. This distorts the gameplay experience intended by the developers.

    The SBMM system is the only acceptable one in games, whether in casual or ranked modes. You've correctly described the drawbacks of some of these systems. But firstly, they are improving. And secondly, even such bad old systems are a hundred times better than having no SBMM at all. Just think of a game without SBMM like a game with SBMM, but there's only one basket, similar to those depicted in your scheme. That's it.

If you don’t like the food, go somewhere else.

    I never understood why people bought CoD year after year but then I watched a bunch of CoD streamers try out Helldivers and The Finals when they came out, but they ended up not liking either of them. Long story short, they do not care about any game that has an objective besides kills. Launch ICBM? Dont care. Defend cashout? Don't care. They ONLY care about kills, which makes sense. It's all they know.
    In CoD EVERYTHING is about getting kills. Kills to get killstreaks, kills to win the match (TDM etc), Kills to unlock camos (year after year), Kills just for the sake of having a high K/D. Even in the most "unique" game mode, Warzone, it's still just about killing everyone else to be the last one standing.
    Then they go play a game like The Finals or Helldivers where you can get tons of kills but still lose, or even worse, get no kills and win and they just don't like it. Throw in how well your team has to utilize your gadgets to win and it's game over. CoD is just shoot gun, throw grenade, call in cruise missile, repeat. They complain that gaming is boring but then won't play a game if it doesn't have an identical loop to CoD.
    Helldivers 2 is just pure Coop fun with your friends. The Finals is one of the funnest shooters in years but mainstream CoD players won't play them because playing against AI enemies is boring to them and because you have to do more than shoot enemies while running at them head on.
    Throw in the overtuned Aim assist so that cod players come back to cod after "Aiming feels bad" in other games.
    CoD players are the walking version of Stockholm syndrome. The games are so mediocre year after year but it's all they're used to.

There has been less games than I can count on my hand that have had a come back like that, and most are singleplayer games that involved some form of outside media like a TV show being released, or some kind of social media phenomenon like Helldivers 2 had, or a streamer resurgence like siege has had.

    What I love about this game almost everything is viable and everything has a managable counter. Everything is op and fun to play so nothing is just boring to play. Chaos is everywhere and thats why this game is fun for me. I'm playing the game sinse the closed betas and other than some tweaks and balances that are not that hardcore always can keep things fresh.
