  • So?

    I hate how every game want to compete for current playtime.

    I got way more than money’s worth out of this game, but I haven’t played in over a month. I hope that when I go back to it, there’s still a playerbase.

    But like, the developers planned for at best to get 10% of what they did…

    If they dropped that extra 90%, I don’t see why that should spell the end of the game. It’s the playerbase the game was designed for.

    There’s just this weird “first or worst” mentality with a lot of studios. I hope this game is just given the room to stretch it legs over a decade or so. Something people might not always keep installed on their console, but still download once or twice a year to get some games in.

    Games like that can be a success. Just because a lot of people burnt out doesn’t mean they’ll never play again.

    It’s just games like that don’t maximize investor returns. They want to churn out hits that people play exclusively for 3 months then drop, only to buy the new one next year.

    Yeah, dude tried to open his own personal Netflix and is surprised it got taken down.

    From post history he managed to keep it up for less than a month.

    I’m betting by “friends” he meant either online friends he’s never met, or people he wanted to impress.

    So they gave zero fucks and handed it out to more people. Like, just the idea that you’re giving it to so many people that you actually buy a domain?

    There’s a reason everyone isn’t already doing it already.





  • and the reputation it has in competitive games

    And it’s also better to turn every graphical option down to zero to max frame rates…

    Realism and “most competitive” rarely go hand and hand.

    It’s like buying a Bentley and complaining about the 0-60 time, what’s “best” depends on what you’re going for.

    While lots of the kids are obsessed with rankings, they don’t actually matter. Matchmaking is going to throw you against people with similar stats, so you can sacrifice realism to be up a little higher, but it doesn’t really matter.

    So lots of older gamers stopped trying to cheese ratings and just play how they enjoy.

    If I have adaptive triggers and maxed graphics at 50 fps, and I’m playing try hards with the graphics of a PS1 and 195 fps, but even with all that they’re playing at my level…

    What changes?

    If I was playing with potatoes graphics and insane fps, I’d just be playing people as good as me that’s also cheesing.

    Hell, if we’re talking "most competitive " why are you even using a controller?

    You’re already sacrificing peak performance if you’re not M&kb

    Using adaptive triggers and good graphics is just an extension of that decision. If you don’t want to, that’s cool. You’ll play slightly better players and get the same w/l record.

    There’s no point in maxing w/l, k/d, or any other stat over someones enjoyment of the game.
