It's almost like they want to piss people off.Monday, July 19, 2021 @ 01:45 PM
Someone at Ubisoft asked "How can we make Siege indescribably worse?"
XDefiant is the answer.

Doesn't look bad, I just don't have the time to pick up a second online shooterMonday, July 19, 2021 @ 02:12 PM
That's really shitty. I'm very sick of these FTP shooters. I just wish Ubisoft would realize it was single player games that got them so many fans.Tuesday, July 20, 2021 @ 07:03 AM
It’s sad to see that when video game technology gets better and better the games seem to be doing the complete opposite and keep getting worse and worse.
Their was wayyyyy more creativity when it came to games and gameplay during the Xbox 360 lifespan.
Once Xbox one came out that’s when the ball started rolling down hill, and it just keeps picking up speed.Tuesday, July 20, 2021 @ 07:41 AM
For me, I think mobile devices, such as cell phones and tablets ruined gaming... The shitty, heavily monetized mobile games essentially created the casual gamer, and they spilled into console gaming as they got more interested in gaming, bringing along the mobile gaming mentality.
In addition, the game developers saw how much mobile games were making a killing, using those shitty monetized methods and decided to follow that practice, taking it one step further, which in turn fed into the gamers familiar to the mobile gaming mentality. Years/generations later, this is now considered a normalized format, and games are designed with it's primary intent to be heavily monetized so that it may be played in perpetuity.
Sad thing is, a lot of these big name publishers keep making the same games over and over... these looter shooter or online shooter games, and they all are the same. These two sub-genres have over-saturated gaming so much that it's become a stale, tired mess.
I've pretty much lost all interest in anything AAA these days.
