Why do open world MMOFPS games fail?
>FireFall
Failed fucking HARD
>PlanetSide 2
Player numbers falling every day

I still play FireFall.
They're reworking it again. We're really hoping this gives us a boost in population.

PS2 is just too grindy and heavy on p2w.
Otherwise it's a better Battlefield, because it's not just a battle field, it's a Warcontinent. Actually different continents on different planets. And in this case it's all about scale, so it does what it supposed to do pretty well.

>again
This is at least the fourth time they've tried.
>>313034168
They're reworking it AGAIN?
Isn't this like the sixth time? What the hell?
I played firefall for a bit; it was pretty fun, but it was too glitchy and the mechanics were boring
First, Fantasy MMOs always do better than SiFi MMOs.
Second, the people that enjoy FPS games as their main games normally don't mesh well with people that like MMOs as their main games.

They're continents on the same planet, dimwit. Why do you think it's called Battle for Auraxis?
>>313035775
Yeah, yeah, whatever. I'm not autistic enough to care about such minor details.

What's SiFi? You mean sci-fi?
How long has PS2 been out?
A combination of repetitive gameplay and pay to win gradually turns people off

Am I the only one bothered by the puddle-depth of in-game lore of these games?
Same goes for most new MMOs not just mmofps, especially sci-fi
I just cringe listening to the extremely generic setup/story which is really just an excuse to
>hurr 2-3 factions
>u fight eachother for dis reason
>go
IT takes so little to give factions some personality and thus personal attachment, just look at Tribes:A
Yet instead the most they bother with is visuals.
>>313034018
Because they're badly designed and unintuitive clusterfucks that either throw an absurdly unbalanced amount of shit into the same area or only offer small scale PvP that every single console FPS already does and does it better.
>>313036379
Long enough to be good and then be garbage like every other MMO
>>313037093
Didn't Tribes start as a single player game with tacked on MP? And only then turned into the opposite of itself?
>>313038160
Yes Tribes has a hilarious dev history considering its main feature was a bug.
But I only meant Ascend now, all you have to go on is the in-game banter of characters - and yet /v/ still had personal attachment to the sides they played atleast to some extent.
PS2? I don't even know the faction names, I think I'm the purple one
MMOs? Fucking same
All I know if its an MMOFPS shooter one side will have the word "terra" in it.
