Its reign was short, but its impact is inquestionable. 2XKO has reshaped the industry and it's likely future fighting games will use it as an inspiration.
ISSA GOLDEN AGE
>>745780150How did they manage to pick the fucking WORST starting roster possible? They had dozens of better options.
>>745780150>inquestionable
>>745780150Sajam status?
>>745780150The game would’ve been fine if it had a better name and came out earlier.
>>745781136I can't stand this guy's fake positivity and I can already imagine the cope vidoe.>Hey man.>It wasn't for everybody, and that's okay.>Seems like a lot of you guys wanted it to fail. Kinda weird.>It was a pretty dope game.
>>745781432>*flips hair*
>>745780673they designed the roster based on "diversity," not what anyone would actually want in the fighting game
>>745781564>Just saw these posts on 4Chan making fun of me. Kinda weird. I'm just doing my thing.
I didnt know it was a Leagues fighting game because of the name.
>>745781676Bike cuck coded speech is always a telling sign of an utter scumbag. No exceptions, if you ever meet someone like that irl, avoid them and tell anyone you care about to do it. They're universally toxic and will try to drag anyone into their self pity like some inverted apex predator. Will also sexually harrass, molest women and kids if they think no one is looking.
>that sense of knowing you were right all alongIs this what /v/ feels like all the time? It's nice.
>>745781801millennial devs are so cringe
>>745780150Teemo was adorable. Warwick was cool. The black dude had a cool ability. Wish they were in a good game.
>>745780150>The example of NOT what to do
lmao they didn't do jack shit
More like 2XOH NO!
>>745781564*pulls $89 designer t-shirt off chest compulsively to hide manboobs and gut*
>>745780150>but its impact is inquestionable. 2XKO has reshaped the industryNot even lolfags cared about it lmao
>>745781867>Will also sexually harrass, molest women and kids if they think no one is looking.That describes all men
I never heard of this game before today.
>>745781136Incredibly narcissistic for a 5/10 dude who plays with his hair more than a black woman and smells his own farts.
>>745780673I still can't believe they didn't add Lee Sin or Sett to the roster
yea they proved that even with riot and tencent money they still couldn't get enough bugs to play a fighting game
>noooooo they only fired half the dev team that's completely normal for a game after release, the game actually has lots of players look at this random fgc event...where did all these faggot troon shills go
>>745780150Did no one throughout the years of development say that fighting games are a niche now and the only ones that barely turn a profit are the legacy franchises?
Reminder that Riot bought and destroyed Rising Thunder for this garbage.
>>745780150The fuck were they thinking with that name lmao
>>745786980They probably thought name recognition would carry them
>>745780150>but its impact is inquestionable.you're not saving face on this one Tencent aka CCP. it flopped like everything else riot puts out.they talk mad shit as devs but can't make anything they can't copy from superior products. how chinese.
>>745787307Maybe they should have kept the franchise name in the title.
>>745780673>diversity>6 Arcane champions>6 Ruined king champions
>>745781136https://streamable.com/6beuyh
>>745788008To be fair this has always been a shithole, but reddit is far worse.
>>745787553I'm shocked it wasn't and even more reasons the name was stupid
>>745780150They made a huge mistake with this roster.Its not League of Legends. They can't get away with diversity quota bullshit when selling a new fighting game. Bring out the big guns immediately or its over.Get Aatrox in there, Jax, Khazix, Olaf, Pyke, Riven, Shaco, Sion, Swain, Sylas, Tahm Kench, Trundle, Udyr, Urgot, Volibear, Warwick, Zed,Ah who am I kidding, this game was destined to fail anyways.
>>745788008I don't take 4chans opinions seriously It is far more entertaining than most other sites since inflammatory shit posting is allowedOn a more related note "real humans" have never ever heard of 2xko lmao
>>745788463It took way too much dev time for a (9) character roster in a tag fighterAll that for it to be an arcane advert
>>745788753nothing here but us bots
>>745783393If you don't have an ego as a 5/10 you'll never make itLook mediocre + don't overcompensate for it is a death sentence socially
>>745780150Having to deal with 2 characters is annoying and pretty much why I uninstalled after 10 minutes of gameplay.
>>745789027I think he meant that 4chan is filled with social pariahs more than botsIf bots was his angle then he's a hypocrite since most streamers definitely viewbot
>makes every other dev think tagslop is the way to go>result is flop after flop of shit licensed fighting games no one wants to play lollmao
>>745780150lol
>>745780150IN DEVELOPMENT FOR 10 FUCKING YEARSCOULDN'T EVEN LAST ONE AND COMPELTELY SHUTS DOWNABSOLUTE KEK
>>745789914If nothing else, I'm glad those FGC oldheads were able to fleece Riot for a decade's worth of paychecks.
>>745789569That was dbfz though which sold cause dragon ball games have a rabid fanbase. 2X was made by a bunch of ex dbfz players too.
>>745790169>by a bunch of ex dbfz playersThought it was a lot of MVC2 heads.Rising Thunder was objectively the superior game before they inserted tag and FGC e-celebrity faggotry into it.
>>745780150damn they got blitzcrank in this? is he good?
>>745788008>le 4chan is le evilYou're all fags but at least we can call each other niggers and at the end of the day not lose sleep over it, this is the last bastion of free speech and I won't let it be taken away.
>>745780150>Riot is the best e-sports developer>Project L will change the FGC forever>it will shift the paradigm>it will teach everyone how to make f2p fighting games>Capcom is nothing compared to Riot, they will be dethroned>Project L will be the biggest fighting game on the market>Tom and Tony are /ourguys/, they know fighting games better than anyone>it's been in development for so long, they couldn't possibly fuck it up>the launch might've been shit, but Riot has endless money, they will turn it around
>2XKO has reshaped the industry and it's likely future fighting games will use it as an inspirationYeah on how to NOT make your game holy shit
>Tagslop>In 2026They should've just kept it as a SFV clone desu senpai.
>>745780150Is it a Concord-tier failure? They bought the Rising Thunder company. They then paid to 160 people software developer salaries for 10 years in California, on top of people like the Cannon brothers getting even more money than that. They paid for advertising at the Game Awards and Summer Games Fest. I think the only reason they might fail to be recognized as a Concord-tier failure is that most people don't even know it existed to laugh at its death.
>>745790020Now those oldheads will never find another job again.
>>745791081Concord certainly had more money invested by Sony and was infamous because it exemplified the moral rot and decay of woke. 2XKO was just kinda shit.
The netcode was the only thing it had going for it, but they took so long it wasn't novel anymore
>>745780150>10+ years dev time>dead after less than 1 yearLiterally how the fuck did they do this? Runeterra survived much longer and they put way less money into that? How??
>>745781801Well, that is retarded
>>7457910812XKO at least had some people playing it at launch, even if they were mostly F2P players who bounced quickly and a lot of the ones who stayed were trying to get a paycheck from the large prize pools at official tournaments (even though Riot should have learned from City of the Wolves that you can't bribe people into making your game a success because only the best of the best players have a snowball's chance of seeing a cent of that money). It failed from the problems inherent to its gameplay, balance issues and greedy monetization, but people did at least try the game.Concord failed from the moment the public saw a trailer. The open beta got fewer players than the closed beta preceding it. Concord is not simply "a major flop," Concord was a catastrophe borne from hubris and a refusal to even try and connect with actually people who play games in lieu of what shareholders and Californian danger hairs desired. The only game that compares to Concord is Highguard, all the other recent flops like Marathon or 2XKO lived for a matter of months before people got laid off and development started winding down. A Concord needs to be a live service game (because a non-live-service flop doesn't cost the company tons of money for post-launch support) that bombs SO hard and SO fast that the plug is pulled immediately, while also having a ludicrous budget.
>>745791586I mean, you said it yourself>10+ years dev timewith, as I said previously, 160 devs in California being paid. That alone is hundreds of millions of dollars. Without accounting for anything else such as buying Radiant Entertainment. To recoup these costs they would need it to be a bigger success than SF6 and MK combined
I would have played without the obtrusive anticheat on PC. It was free and I like fighting games. Will they learn this lesson? Probably not. Anyway get fucked lole
league as a franchise is held together by poor brown people, everything they make outside of lol will flop
>Multiversus dead>2XKO deadSo this definitely puts the nail in the coffin for the F2P fighting game idea. But do you think this will end the modern "golden age" of fighting games? The idea that there's an audience of FGC paypigs that will follow you for years and pay for all your DLC and costumes and generate gorillions for your company has to be out the window now, right? It's a complete fantasy. Street Fighter makes money like that because it's Street Fighter. Tekken makes money like that because it's Tekken. I can maybe see a company investing in a paid AA $40 fighting game to make a decent amount of money on initial release. But supporting the game for years with DLC season packs? I think that's just dead now.
>>745791586LoR is a card game and after they started to lose money they focused on making it some pve shit, basically bately wasting a dime2xko needs the money to make new characters, riot has it but it wasn't making anything in return
>>745792306Multiversus can't be used as an example when another platform fighter, Brawlhalla, is still seeing better player retention than any fighting game
After this and Invincible flopped nobody is taking a risk on a fighting game again lmao
>>745788008He's not wrong, 4chan had no organic cultural impact for a decade and turned into a honeypot a long ago. Also the last hack confirmed mods on ř4chan are literally lebbitors
What would your starting roster have been? Ten slots.
>>745788008>talk to real human being bro!no real humans wanted to play 2xko lmao.>>745790774I'll never understand how normalfags can still think 4chan is some darkweb bullshit when modern social media in genuinely worse in every way except not being allowed to nigger and other no-no words.
>>745790774>4chan>free speechits amazing that you can simply let people call each other niggers and faggots and they'll think theyre in a free speech paradise
>>745793770>Ten slotsit's awful but i guess it would be: riven, vi (hot lol version), katarina, camille, leona, sett, lee sin, yasuo, zed, nautilusafter that jinx (also lol version), darius, garen, ekko, akali and annie and blitzcrank
>>745780150>it's likely future fighting games will use it as an inspiration.in what way?Riot just made a shittier MvC
>>745780150Maybe finally this will stop the fgc thinking f2p fgs will work
>>745788008you can tell without even reading the replies that he's right

>>745780150It all started going downhill since the revelation of the name.Before the name change, I always heard good things, and how it looks super promising.After the name, silence, followed by mocking, endless mocking
>>745780150I don’t get why fighting games need to be a multi year live service thing that’s constantly getting updates. Release the game - preferably with more content than a half assed single player campaign and rank grind - patch whatever needs fixing, release some dlc characters, fine whatever you greedy kikes, and then just let it go. 2XKO’s release cycle should be the norm, not every fighting game needs to copy SF6’s esports semen slurping model.
>>745794790Every game needs to be a live service now. Can't just have a game that is played and moved on in 3-5 months for the next game anymore.
>>745786980They all see SF and Tekken esports money and think ‘woaow I can do that’ instead of making a good game with decent content beyond grinding ranked to get shiny new badge forever.
>>745794669
>>745794790The problem is that 2XKO doesn't have enough offline modes to sustain itself for eternity. In fact, it has none at all. SFII at least has four final bosses, and endings for the characters after an Arcade mode.
>>745791102if only
>>745792581Brawlhalla is dead, Anon. The only platform fighter beside Smash to live is Rivals of Aether 2 and even then it's like 1/10 the popularity.

Downloaded this game after the news hit. Played tutorial, combo trials and one online match and it's better than Tokon
>>745780150I don't understand how Riot Games hasn't tried doing the same thing with game development as League of Legends. Release a hastily put together kusoge game with bimonthly content and fix it later. 2XKO should've had a different name, been 1v1, had 30 characters to start and be practically an alpha build with heinous balance problems. Release half baked ideas every two weeks and have the micro transactions be rip off recolors. Development time of 2 years and thrown out to see if it sticks.
>>745795490Wasn't the initial shots all 1v1? I don't think there was a hint of tag fighter when it was first announced, was there? It's been so long.
i couldn't take it seriously after knowing it was a tag game with 10 base characters and the fuse system is the stupidest idea i've ever seen in a fighting game. it just seems like they did not have any sort of direction whatsoever in design.
>>745780673shit is so retarded >Ahri jinx teemo>three ranged champs in an entire fucking game of melee characters >nigger>hawian nigger>ugly dyke>in a game known for prioritizing coombaitthey should've added Lux Akali and Kai'sa day one, people only play their dogshit ASSFAGGOTS because they want to fuck the girls, and there's only 2 fuckable chicks in this one

>>745794981Are you living in opposite world? Look at steam charts for Brawlhalla and then for RoA2. Now notice Brawlhalla is also on consoles and on Android and ios.

this game failing is the funniest fucking shit because it was so obvious. almost, just almost, feel bad for riot for falling for these scammer devs for so long
>>745793770GarenLuxDariusKatarinaAsheRyzeLeonaLee SinJaxYasuo (I would have put Master Yi but you can't skip Yasuo)Yeah, I haven't played League for years. But going with the older champions for a starting roster is the best bet imo. They have a more mainstream appeal. Keep cool and original concepts like Udyr for DLCs.
>>745796984Sir, you can't have all white people.

>>745797035Is Ryze not blue anymore?
>>745797035uuuuh, replace Jax for Malphite or Alistar then

>>745780150How? By flopping even before it released?
