>>737580271that art looks kinda gay
>>737580271swedish devs
>>737580271Negro, everything dies, nothing is eternal, and that's ok.You will die too, eventually.So enjoy your time here. Preferably doing meaningful things and not just wasting your life on video games.

it's fucking boring and leaning into hugbox aggression-based matchmaking made it even more apparent how boring it is
concord
>>737580271The game is dying because the devs are too slow to keep up with demandThe core gameplay loop is not deep enough to sustain long term play so you need to pump out content to compensateEmbark is not pumping out content, it has taken them 6 months to release 1 mapThey need to either rework the whole gameplay loop or start shitting out contentThey will do neither, and so the game will die
why would you expect something explicitly not structured like a live service to live forever
>>737580271Oh wow yeah look at this dead game
>>737581153because it's supposed to be a live service
>>737580560>I'm an edgelord and I'm mad the game is matching me against other people who also like being edgelords! Why isn't it matching me against people who aren't aggressive so that I can kill them and ruin their game? That would make the game more fun and do a better job of retaining players!holy underage
>>737580271If youre a friendly raider, you deserve everything bad that happened and will happen in your life
>>737580271There's very little to use your loot on. The problem with extraction shooters is that when you finally build up your big fucking stockpile of XXXL33T gear it's still only really useful for PVP. Even if they add in some hard ass PVE enemy you'd have to balance the reward from THAT too into something actually useful beyond shooting another guy. I think extraction shooters need to evolve into something beyond JUST looting and into an additional genre like base building or base defense of something to give you a way to use that gear in a way that matters. Gotta defend your stash like when aliens raid your shit in xcom or something. The majority of people want to just PVP end up playing a shooter that doesn't waste your time and puts you right in the action.
>>737580271I played it.Felt like half of a game. And that half wasnt even finished.
>>737581829This bitch got some legs
>>737581380>I want to EXCLUSIVELY shoot at AI robots in my extraction-based shooter>anyone who doesn't EXCLUSIVELY shoot at AI robots should be banned to their own parallel societythe game defeats its own format with its queue structureIt's not about being able to kill whoever you want, it's about not knowing if people are friendly. If you know everyone is friendly, it's a pointless format.just go play DRG or Helldivers 2
>>737580331The artstyle is not my cup of tea at all but at least it’s consistent with the premise of the setting. I just wish everyone wasnt a dysgenic ugly mutt
The Bungulator
>>737580560it ruined the unpredictability of people which is what made each encounter interesting, redditors ruined that because ever since I had to defend myself I've been running into nonstop raider fights.
>>737580271kinda boring after a while
>>737580271extraction shooters are kinda getting old
>>737583915>redditors ruined that because ever since I had to defend myself I've been running into nonstop raider fights.Yeah, fuck this matchmaking honestly. Self-defense and retaliation against freekit fags AKA not being a cuck means you'll get put into KoS lobbies
>>737580271extraction shooters are a meme genre, they prioritize picking up items over engaging in combat.
>>737586278Wouldn't really call that a meme. MMOs have been around for 30 years and are some of the most profitable vidya in history.And there's literally nothing to really do in any of them except collect shit.
>>737581249THIS is what counts as "dead game" these days? kek
>>737586517But do you typically lose all the stuff in your inventory when some nigger kills you in an MMO?
>>737580271Who the fuck plays this carebear trash picking simulator?
>extraction shooter
It still peaks higher 7 months after release than Marathon did at launch kek
>>737580271This faggot in the front got more straps and bangles on their outfit than a mid 2000's jrpg protag. Why cant anyone design appealing characters anymore?
Very boring loot. Third person PVP also sucks.
>>737580271>solid shooter
>>737580271im surprised the game stayed so popular for so long.third person carebear extraction shooters are just boring as shit.
The game never feels like the tutorial. It's a tutorial for a game that doesn't exist.
>>737580271The game was the top paid game on steam for 4-5 months straight. Its literally in millions of libraries. It just needs time to cook more content.
>>737587865>>737582295>>737581829>>737587905>>737587950Ur dogshit
The endgame trials loop needs work but everything up until level 75 and max inventory is incredibly solid.
>>737587489>>737587698t. filtered by your own playstyles KEKArc is fun in doses since it’s practically consequence free by design, its main issue is there’s fuckall to do once you’re max level & rich.
>>737588053>>737588162samefag
They don't really try anymore with these advertisement threads
>>737588217seething retard
I hope people start shooting eachother on tuesday
>>737586808Only if you're a Marathon shill seething about how dead that game actually is.
>>737580271I grew bored. Playing solo most of the time, which meant I was primarily in the care bear playlist and I just saw no point in killing others for better loot since all I did was collect garbage, shoot the same arc over and over and fuck all else. I'd gladly go back to dmz, wasn't it filled with hackers - not even sure what attracts me to that game, tbf, but the encounters just seemed more fun
Years of Cia niggering tought me it's woke and jewy from first glance I can tell you this
>>737580331yeah its swedish alright
>>737580271>make extraction shooter >secretly remove what makes extraction shooters interesting (risk/reward of dying from pvp)>people still get the risk/reward feeling, but the game has put them in a lobby of pussies like them.>player ends up bored, in a genre where it should be impossible to be bored.Pretty smart of the devs to allow people to larp that theyre playing an extraction shooter whilst minimising the hurt feelings the players have to endure from losing.
The PVE focus unironically just gives it a much more finite lifespan before it gets stale. The genre relies on emergent player to player interactions, the game's audience almost entirely defaults to 'helping people' or 'pretending to help people and then killing them'.
>>737588837I think the pve makes it last longer than the pvp ones, pvp focus means that for the game to exist ~80% of players need to lose a match, so if you are on the first 2/3 of the skill bellcurve you essentially just feel bad all the time and quit.Pvp Extraction shooters really punish shitters and make them feel bad, look whats happening to marathon.
>>737581380You don't belong here. Simply put. You are not kin.
>>737581829Sooo...Rust?
>>737586278Then why is everyone so scared of the pvp part of extraction shooters?
It needs to die because you stopped playing it?
>>737580271PVE carebears never stay and it's a retarded demographic to court>all the pve carebears get all the endgame gear that they won't use anyway because the game has 0 friction>they move on to the next game>the wipe hits>they moved on already, so they don't give a shit>PVPers are so neglected they go back to literally any game that will encourage player to player engagement>the wipe hits>they don't give a shit because they're going to get punished for trying to play the PVP part of PVPVEArc raiders truly deserves it
>>737580271>Solid shooterehhhhh
Let it be known! 60,000 players on Steam alone is thus now decreed a dead game! No games below 200,000 concurrent players are to be deemed acceptable to play. If you see somebody playing a game under 200,000 concurrent players, all good citizens of /v/ are to do that man harm whenever able.
>>737592970Struggling to compete with an alpha invite only dota shooter isnt a great look for the MULTIPLAYER GAME OF THE YEAR
