This is the best shooter ever made and neither the community nor the devs give a shit about it.
>>738175932if it was good then it wouldn't be dead.
>>738175973highguard says hello
>>738175973say that to ds2, pf2, acbh, and every game on gamespy
>>738175932This game fucking sucks because it's so good. The devs understand Tribes better than anyone ever has. The movement is perfect, the shooting is perfect. Base defense is meh. No vehicles suck. But you can't argue with the fact that it's fucking incredible to play. Shame the devs don't give a fuck. I'm still mad about them recycling Starsiege Deadzone into Deadzone Rogue.
>>738175932Tribes ascend was so fucking good. I don't know why they didn't just re-release it. It's a lot less weighty specs wise compared to this new one in a time when people can't buy new hardware as easily.
>>738176306do you have problems running it? im on a potato and it runs great.
>>738175932>This is the best shooter ever madeExcept for Tribes 1 and to a slightly lesser extent Tribes 2.Listen, even if this were 11/10 Tribes and had literally everything anyone could want from the title, I'm not putting my time and faith in Hi-Rez ever again. Nor in its legally-distinct shell studio. They had their chance at redemption in Ascend, and they blew it doing what they always do, dumping one game to chase the next trend.
the only person who thought Tribes 3 Rivals was good is the race-traitor Fishstix
>>738177629>tribes 1no one thinks this. glitch skiing is not good skiing.
>>738177629>dumping one game to chase the next trend.This time it wasn't even that. T3 was murdered to chase the moba trend, Ascend was stillborn because it was Erez's "passion project" and this dumbfuck though he can just force e-sport and save money by developing only a small 5v5 stump of a game.
>>738178221Fuck I mixed them up, Ascend was murdered, T3 was the stillborn one
>>738178015>no one thinks thisI do. God, it was balanced so well. Yeah, skiing was an afterthought and you needed a client script to make it bearable, but so what?

>>738175932Vengance was 5x better
>>738175932>and neither the community nor the devs give a shit about it.We all witnessed how they fucked over Tribes Ascend. People who already played Global Agenda were even more familiar with Hi-Rez's ultimate handrubbing.They can choke for all I care, will never trust them.
>>738175932This game was never released
>>738175932It's worse than Ascend.
>>738175932It's not even as good as Ascend on top of being a blatant "grab the money and run" scam that literally the entire community caught on to immediately.
The ascend voice commands were goated. If anything should have been copied from ascends the ease of global voice chat should have been it.VGS codes forever rent free in my head.
>>738184014I'm still very sad VGS isn't present anywhere outside of Smite and Tribes(no idea if the other hirez games that went no where have the system or not). It's a really intuitive way to do quick chat and nothing else compares. Even playing Deadlock I still find my finger goes to V before I catch it and then use the shitty middle mouse hold radial wheel.
>>738175932First 2 are better.
>>738175932Tribes 2 is better.
>>738175932should've been free
>>738176306Tribes Ascend was fantastic, up until HiRezBart decided "tHiS iS gOnNa Be tEh NeW eSpOrT gUiSe!!" and started sperging out having everyone make "new and better" weapons for everyone to hide behind a paywall, cap movespeed, nerf the fuck out of turrets/sentries, made the heavy fucking useless, gave hitscan weapons to fucking everyone, and generally fucking jewed the entire game by making all of this paywalled while calling it "f2p" when it was entirely "p2w"
>>738184203It's probably dead due to the shitty wheel working on controllers unlike the VGS. Still sad that no other games use a similar system.
>>738175932Not even as good as its prequel.
>>738184272>calling it "f2p" when it was entirely "p2w"Those terms mean the same thing
>>738184567The game was very much f2p before they did the overhaul to the class and weapon progression systems causing the p2w death spiral.
>>738184750All F2P where money changes hands is unfortunately just psychological exploitation min-maxing, there is no such thing as good F2P.

A major redpill ive had to take is that actual great skill based multiplayer games will always be dead on arrival if they dont provide any instant gratification for the noobs. Things like wm1 pyro, E. Honda, sentry turrets, v trigger, these ARE crutches for noobs and its tempting to say that you think they shouldnt exist but the reality is that these things are stepping stones that allow noobs to have fun in the short term while (hopefully) building an understanding of fundamentals subconsiously as they play. Someone who just wants to run over people with a flamethrower might get bored of that and switch to soldier or scout, someone who is scared of combos and wants to spam hundred hand slap might wake up one day and decide to pick up a new character and learn combos, but both of those players would likely quit very fast if that more degenerate option wasnt there to help them along. I wish it wasnt like this, I love tribes, I love strike vector, I love SNK motion inputs, but most people arent like me and a multiplayer game needs a strong playerbase, tribes 3 as well as both midair games are just too pure for thier own good.
