What's your favourite dead game?
crash team racing
is it dead already? That was fast.
Battleborn.

natural selection 2
and
super mnc
I never ever got to play bf nam online
>>337217595
Dirty bomb has actually been slowly growing. It's taken a hit from overwatch but I think it will come back when that meme has passed.
Blade Symphony
>>337217654
It's not dead dead, but SD are so catastrophically lazy with updates that it might as well be. In a whole year we've had one map, a gimmick mode, and about two new mercs.

>>337217595
Havent logged on to play that since they added the newest sniper
For a game thats literally a cskiddie's sniper playground, they really had to add one mroe useless fucking sniper to the mix.
>>337217653
Aren't there still players for it though, just because it's free?
The community might be fucking tiny and dead but I still have no trouble finding games.
Its not like this is Evolve levels of dead. Yet.
Who is the most fun merc and why is it Proxy?
>>337218358
Yeah, snipers are exclusively cancer. Then again I'd be in favour of removing snipers from online shooters entirely.
A game is dead when the players are primarily Central-South Americans.
Super Monday Night Combat. Was a true moba shooter, makes Battleborn look like absolute dogshit. Fucking idiot devs let this game die. It was actually ahead of its time. If it came out today, I feel like it would have done so much better. People thought it was gonna replace TF2 when in fact they were going for a shooter/moba hybrid. The original MNC was fun too, but I spent more time on SMNC. God damn Uber Entertainment for abandoning this amazing game. Wish Valve would pick it up.
>>337218478
t. shotgun babby
>>337218478
I'm with you on that, especially in this game.
I heard we got higher level servers too now, but I cba to play long enough to git gud again.
>>337218584
SMG all the way m8. Best Proxy loadout is the one with an SMG and machine pistol, it means you can switch weapons and maintain constant bullet spray for a good length of time.
The only shotgun I use is for aura as her best loadout has it.
>>337218478
>Who is the most fun merc and why is it Proxy?
Because mines make for comedy gold.
I still think that Phantomwould be more fun if he wasn't so fucking awful, even at the one and only fucking thing he does. Every time I end up having to play him for a mission I regret ever having bought him. He is always a wasted slot.
Sanctum 2. Fun as fuck tower defense with a really beautiful art style to it. Wish it had some map packs for it because the series deserves some more love.
I miss it.
>>337218914
Was pretty fun to co-op

I really fucking miss hearing ITS TIME FOR DA S4 LEEEAGUE
>>337218950
Fucking hackers killed the game, miss doing sick shotgun/katana tricks in the game.
>>337218095
This game was a lot of fun but they changed and got rid of a lot of stuff that made it worse, like airdashing, I liked airdashing.
All overwatch did was make me play DB again. It actually rewards skill, and none of the abilities are press q to win.
Even proxy mines require clever placements to be effective.
>>337218095
That game was never alive, it was stillborn.
I still loved it. :(
>>337219150
I felt the same way.
>>337218446
Same here and I'm australian.
We always have populated servers. Still seeing a lot of new players too.
>>337219280
Shame casualwatch will be infinitely more popular because Blizzard.
Halo 1 Custom Edition
So many fun times on these weird maps.
>>337219563
Halo on pc sucked
>>337217595
the superior version
>>337219150
Definitely, DB has the gameplay, just not the world, personality or production values that could make that feel good.
>>337219150
Theres an amazing streak of smug elitism about Dirty Bomb even within its own community against its own players.
Like every single player thats actually really fucking good enjoys going into servers with level 6 players and stomping the utter shit out of them with Kira while spamming KAWAIIIIIIII
The missions re-enforce that as well.
>>337217595
Loadout was fun. I really like the idea of making your own guns.
>>337219712
True. I actually prefer the character design though, it's not overdesigned to fuck like overwatch.
Dark Messiah Might and Magic
I loved stab people in the back, i loved headshot with arrows, i loved charge fireballs and i loved chop enemies with sword
>>337218570
Super MNC was fucking terrible and squandered all the goodwill the excellent first game generated.
>>337218996
Why you do this to me, anon.
>>337219563
>That fuckhuge ctf map where both bases were 20km away from each other with both having a tonne of tanks, warthogs, pelicans and even fucking mechs.
>>337218950
I stop playing the game when I realized people with high pings were actually invincible while lagging.
Garbage netcode ruined the game.
>>337219798
It is true though.
Aim, movement and awareness matters tons as opposed to overwatch, and while the game does have several i-win buttons its still nothing compared to ow.
Its not a particularly good game but it is a far more solid shooter than any of these fps-dota wannabes are.
>>337218149
I had some fun with that game, loved the overall customization and wish more FPS would let me modify my gun as much as BLR. Making a perfect ADS accuracy AR and a max damage LMG as I stacked as much HP as possible was unusually fun.
>>337220034
Hugeass was a fucking riot for a while, Longsword nukes were fucking great.
>>337220163
I agree completely that was not really the point I was getting at. Its like the small player population has compounded everything negative about the usual shooter communities. Distilled it into pure cock measuring and willy waving.
Its amazing for practising aim and tracking though, git gud with an SMG or AR in Dirty Bomb and it can be copied across to lots of other games pretty easily. Its what I plan on playing for the two weeks before OW comes back and I am sure I will go back to it anyway.
>>337220256
Fuck Funcom for making that an MMO. I would have loved to have gone all the way through that game and seen everything cool and horror inspired but I could not stomach the grind and the awful fucking combat.
Can't even buy it anymore. Online play is still possible since the authentication server now accepts any CD Key. Has really strong bot support.
>>337220359
This always happens in these small floppy games
There'll be a small percentage of players who are better than anyone, a large percentage of players who fill up most matches but just fuck around and fail and will never get better before moving on.
And theres the midground who are all seemingly better than anyone in 90% of matches while shit everywhere else.
No matter where you enter this field it'll not be nice.
>>337220510
It was awesome game
>>337220520
>tfw the third one
I'll never git gud
>>337220359
I play DB regularly and I was laser tracking with Zarya well enough to get bitched at. What I like about DB most are the quotes. I love how you can enter a quickchat command and there are multiple lines for most of the commands besides the special taunts. Hearing Redeye, Sparks, Bushwhacker, etc. randomly talk a whole lot of shit for a one word command makes me smile.

>>337218808
I think Phantom gets by well enough in pugs. It's just a problem when people can see you from a mile away when you're standing still with your cloak on. Some people can't see you if you're still crouching and others pinpoint you like a hawk no matter the distance without any Recon. I mainly just use his cloak as an extra shield so I can lineup headshots easier if it's one of those hawkeyes.

Game isnot dead, its devs are.
dystopia
Anarchy Reigns.
>Everyone who wanted to play it had already imported it
Died the week it came out in NA.
>>337217595
Stopped playing because no lobby system and snipers are still cancer
Fun game otherwise, just want to play with friends.
Is ditty bomb dead?
>>337221273
Its "dead" in the sense that its not really going anywhere in the future, just dripped content here and there, but it is playable.
Easily my fave f2p shooter
>>337221108
Me and a friend got it on 360 so it was doubly fucking dead. Day 1 we couldn't find a lobby, and we made one where only one other dude showed up.
>>337219623
you
>>337221339
Same familyuntil waifuwatch is released that isoh my god I killed dirty bomb
>>337221474
overwatch will never be f2p though, also doesn't really tickle my shooting fancy like dirty bomb does
I love Mercy and all but a 5 minute match nigg-nogging around as Aura gives me more adrenaline than healing with Mercy will do in years...
It's too bad DB couldn't have been handled by better devs. It's a real waste that Shit Damage happened to be the ones developing it. This game has been in "beta" for years. There were betas where you could play the very same mercs that only got recently released. Pretty much all of the mercs have been done for years. As far as maps go, there has actually been negative progress if you think about it. Most of the main maps have had several sections REMOVED and Dome sucks.
Every time I think of Dirty Bomb, I think of what could've been. Imagine if it were a 30 dollar title with no unlocks, more maps, player hosted servers, and mod support. Splash Damage gets undue credit for W:ET. They only added onto what the RtCW devs created. Fuck this gay Earth. How could a company have made so little progress in all these years? What have they been doing besides working on that Gear of War port?
>>337221626
Yeah, this. Aura is at least viable in combat to an extent. Mercy is literally only a healslut.
>>337221981
>What have they been doing besides working on that Gear of War port?
Mobile games, working on Gear of War 4, and the M$ ports you mentioned. They're a small company spread thin that took a lot of damage from Brink. I'm surprised they aren't dead by now.
Heroes of the Storm ;_;
>>337219071
>Get called hacker constantly
>I was actually really good
Life is pain ;_;
>>337221981
Honestly - if only we got some community servers I'd have been fine playing this longer.
>>337221996
You can be extremely effective as Aura even if you never even use your station (which would be a waste, but still)
I'd buy OW if Mercy was a good healslut, but its a boring as dick one-way relationship.
Atleast in TF2 you do actually feel like you are doing shit together with your medic and versa.
>>337220256
ayy lmao game is great, just can't find myself wanting to play it tho
>>337221981
The game would also be much better if it could decide what it wants to be.
Its now like some sort of mish-mash of Quake, CoD and Battlefield.
Unreal Tournament 2004
>>337222493
What's wrong with that? And is it really that dead?
>>337217595
Overwatch
>>337218149
:'(
>>337222465
That game was doomed from the start
>>337222493
I'm fine with that as long as I can go fast and do tricky jumps. Feels good booking it up to an area no one can reach because you have to do a weird triple jump.
>>337218358
The funny thing is the snipers progressively keep getting better perks every time a new one comes out.
Don't know why anyone would even play Vasili anymore.
>>337218808
I don't even call them mines anymore. I just scream "aaaaaaaaaids" in a high pitch voice when ever I die to them. That, or I chuckle and say "aids" when someone lands on mine.
>>337221359
I got lucky on PS3. Managed to join a 12v12 once that was literally utter chaos. It didn't help that my internet was complete dogshit at the time, so everyone was teleporting all over the place, and I only managed about 3 kills before the match ended. Still one of the most fun games I had ever played online.
I also tried getting into that bamco made anarchy reigns wannabe game, Rise of the Incarnates or whatever it's called.
>download the game
>get into an online match after 15 minutes
>played like complete shit and only played for a minute or so
>tfw bamco announce they're shutting down the game for good the day after I download it
I just want Anarchy Reigns on PC man...
>>337222558
It's 3000 players peak. Which personally is far from being a wasteland (BC2 fags still say their game is alive, and it's around 20 servers full at best), but for some is not enough.
>>337222493
I think gameplay wise it took some good stuff from those games and made it work.
I think it just throws people off at the start, they recognize one game's features and then get put off by the other ones also in there.
>>337217595
>Stop playing for 2 months due to POE's new league
>Dockyard STILL not released
What the fuck are they doing? Wasn't it mostly textures left and some small redesigns?
I really hope it's just lack of funding rather then possibly the most incompetent devs ever
Starcraft.
>>337221108
And they ditched it anyway, no matter what eversion they played. What a resounding success.
>>337222465
Just be looking at the image I can tell it's shit.
The edgy looking fuck with the sword looks like the Monarch.
>>337220256
I still own TSW, is it worth installing and playing?Would anyone play with me?
>>337218149
Aw, did it really die? I enjoyed that game quite a bit. Those mech suits were good fun.
>>337222465
>>337222564
Ebin :DDDD
>>337222751
I wouldn't know the specifics, never play them.
In any case you find more and more of these cskiddy with 5000 hours spent AWPing come in to enjoy the game sanctified wallhack/pseudo invis/whatever the new bitch got
Gets really boring, and this is what they keep going for.
>>337220256
It's effectively a single player game until you reach the dungeons and raids anyway, so you can still enjoy it.
>>337222972
It's very fun, has great writing, and it's not that dead. There's a chat channel for new players called Sanctuary where you can get help and make groups and such.
>>337223082
But is it deadfor Oceania?
>>337223303
It's user base feels to me like it's euro-centric so it's not that bad. The game itself tries to keep players in the gameworld sparse except in hubs, to keep things atmospheric, so it feels like there's no one, hence the need to be in a chat channel or a guild.
Literally dead and replaced with a shitty poker game
>>337223421
I'll give it a go I haven't played a good MMO sinceGuild Wars
>>337223064
New bitch has a version of Vasili's spotter, except it also has a jarate effect if it spot's you. The spotter also flies in a straight line from your hand and sticks to whatever it hits.
The only down side is she's more squishy than the other two.
I can understand still playing Red Eye because his smoke gives good cover, but Vasili is a fucking joke now.
Also Just a side note, I hate all the faggots playing Stoker right now because they used all their credits on the first week of the event and got a special edition Proxy. There were never this many fucking stokers until that happened, but there is the same amount of Proxys as always.
>>337223601
I must warn you though, combat animations are terrible. You're in it for the writing, the surprisingly fun build system, and the dungeons are pretty good as well.
>>337223680
Don't worry I know how to cope with terrible combat design, I playedLoLfor years before stopping
>>337223680
I remember trying to play it once and I abandoned it because of the shitty fucking combat. It was so not fun it actually became a chore.
Ahead of its time, now everyone is going for the "Team FPS with skills" when Hawken was doing it years ago.
I still log on from time to time, but it's almost impossible to find matches at my level.
>>337217595
Those early designs looked alot better than what we got; also this game ain't dead well except ranked.
>>337224483
Come on, it was a clunky game with weapons and abilities scrambled over many mechs. It wasn't really fun to play, and the devs didn't know what to do wih it.
>>337223648
I still see loads of shitters playing Vasilli though. I guess it's because he looks the most sniper-y.
XCOM 2
>>337218914
I play it occasionally with my bro, just rope a friend in dude
>>337225025
Long war 2 when
>>337217595
Planetside 2
>>337224771
I find current balance is decent, and the clunky is probably because you know, it's a mech game. It's still the best mech game on PC.
I'd personally play Armored Core instead but I don't have a ps3 and 360 is dead.
>>337225025
You seriously expected the multiplayer part of a turn based game to keep the CoD level of player numbers it had at release?
>>337218478
>Thinks that snipers are cancer
>Play Proxy
Tell me Anon, did your father reaaaaaaaaaaaaaally loved his sister ?
>>337225227
I'm no fan of mines but they are a far lesser detriment to the enjoyment of the game than snipers - and my main playstyle was basically Aura 24/7 sprinting around everywhere, so I ate tons of fucking mines to get this opinion.
>>337225386
Also a reason why I think bomb squad is such an underrated perk. Not only can you see mines bright as day through walls, you can see grenades as they're being thrown/launched from Nader, Fragger, and Fletcher (giving away their position).
>>337225386
>>337225227
None of the characters are cancer, just the players. Snipers tend to camp back and be completely useless the entire game. A good Vassili who can aim is golden, but that's the 1% who rarely pug.
Fletcher makes Proxy completely unviable since he can kill her long before she has enough reach to have a fast enough TTK to prevent the sticky from instantly killing her even with headshots. Fletcher basically fucks over anyone 90 health or below because he can lob grenades in areas and angles where the opponent can't do shit besides pray his aim sucks.
>>337226195
Snipers add nothing to the game whatsoever.
Its a class that counters everyone and is only really countered by itself, or I guess phantom too.
But who really wins if you have to go a useless class like phantom to get rid of the annoying useless classes like snipers.
A golden aiming any-thing is great in this game so thats no argument for snipers
>>337226195
Yeah that's the down side of proxy. Mines are fucking hilarious, but so many people can wreck her shit that you have to be really good at getting the flank and soloing people out on the fly to get a decent amount of kills.
Also you know you have a good sniper when they main the Dreiss AR and run to the middle, getting head shots like it's their birthright.
>>337219671
>you will never rambo medic again and get a massive killstreak going
>>337226394
>Its a class that counters everyone and is only really countered by itself, or I guess phantom too.
So you're admitting a good Sniper is strong? You counter snipers by not going the way they're cutting off or concealing yourself. Most snipers are ass so you can usually just strafe and avoid getting hit in the head.
>the annoying useless classes like snipers.
Are they a counter or are they useless? Good snipers can easily shutdown areas in a far safer and more effective manner than any other class.
>>337217595
>>337217654
>>337221076
>>337218446
It's not like the game is not dead because of the game itself and because people like it.
From what I noticed it's just that when people get banned in csgo/get tired of csgo they go to DB.
Currently there just isn't a better alternative for a competitive shooter, but most of the people I know are switching to OW after the release so theres that.
>>337226394
Snipers have always been the shittiest part of most shooters.
It's a trope that needs to fucking die.
>>337226925
>but most of the people I know are switching to OW after the release so theres that.
OW and DB play extremely different. I hope OW takes all the newbie snipers and people who don't know how to run and longjump.
Bloodline Champions
>>337226810
Useless in a game, especially team game perspective, and far too strong on their aiming aspects.
For excessively powerful main guns, they still have okay sidearms extremely abusable abilities and no big downsides at all
They are effective, but not in a good or wanted way, in the end it all boils down to autistic cs-fags with 5k hours of awp toggling in their belt demolishing teams because the maps are not really good enough to support flanking them, and because they
>see through walls
>cannot be seen by you
>the new thing
they will have the advantage.
Let's hope the console version brings some new players
>>337227054
I know how toBut I never use it
>>337217595
Why is Dirtybomb dead?
I played it for a while and I liked it a lot. It gave me this Enemy Territory vibe.
>>337226195
>Fletcher makes Proxy completely unviable
What. I main shotgun proxy and I can two shot Fletcher with Hollunds or kill him from far away with MP400. Mobility is key. Sure you can die from some random explosives, but even in tight corridors you can still move erratically enough and jump on walls that you can survive 1vs1 with most classes.
The other two characters I main are Kira and Aura so basically I'm playing glass cannons but Fletcher is easy modo to counter. On the other hand I can't counter Fraggers, they just have too much HP and babby-tier spammy guns.
>>337226394
>Snipers add nothing to the game whatsoever.
Spotting can be really handy though.
>Its a class that counters everyone and is only really countered by itself
I reliably kill most snipers even on the long range with BR-16 and Blishlok, they never expect people to fire back at them. Oh, orbital laser is great too.
>useless class like phantom
I've seen some good katana Phantoms and they have the capacity to be a game changer, most people playing Phantoms are just total scrubs though so there is that.
>>337217595
The extremely slow updates made me stop playing this. It was fun but damn.
>>337227019
Its sad but looking at all the newshit FPSs like overshit, it seems the only fucking thing remaining from actual shooters is
>sniper person with long range and instakill
>>337218446
The game isn't dead in a population kinda sense, it's dead because it isn't going anywhere. Nothing has changed in the last 3 years.
>the client is still a bugfest (including gamebreaking bugs that have been in for years)
>there's still not enough maps
>the loadout system is still a catastrophe, and they're gonna forever cement it with 2nd edition cards
I wanted this game to succeed so much, but I've given up. I've switched to Overwatch even though I realize it's mechanically a lot more shallow. Splash Damage is a bunch of lazy and incompetent cucks.
>>337227170
Why? It was an half assed abortion people didn't stick with the first time, I can't see the reason why they shouldn't replicate their resounding success.
>>337218996
I knew what it was before I even clicked the link. R.I.P.
>>337227392
They went full retard with the sniper in overtrash, free wallhack, 150 damage bodyshot charged in like 1 sec and semi auto sniper rifle.
They have no idea what they're doing.
>>337227054
>I hope OW takes all the newbie snipers
Byebye Vaselines!
>>337227536
Oh but they do, the retarded 15 year old freshly coming aim-practice CSGO will get in there, enjoy how immensely easy it is to dominate and stick around for nothing else
its what is happening in DB, because they both have the same perfect aim weapons + OP abilities
>>337217653
They released a patch about a month ago and Out of the Blue came out before Xmas I think.
>>337222284
Is it really dead?
>>337218149
Too bland and won the award for worst interface in gaming history.
>>337219937
The first game was $15 dollars. SMNC was free and was more refined and promised more content.
itt: games that were good but the devs killed it with P2W cashshop or something
That said, Rift. RIP one of the best MMOs of all time.
>>337227719
Not him but to be honest I prefer 'perfect aim weapons' that depend on your own aim and recoil control rather than some shitty fixed bullet spread to make the game more accessible and basically force better players to crouch and stop moving altogether in order to reliably hit stuff they're aiming at.
>>337217595
Miss it all the time family
>>337222929
I agree and he is voiced by the guy who does Vegeta/Pic. It's straight up Vegeta's voice.
>>337221108
That and everyone used broken characters and the game never got a balance patch.
>>337224483
They ruined it themselves.
They pulled a Mightly No. 9 before that was even a thing. They were making comics and trying to get a TV show before the game was finished.
Then they ruined the game's interface to look like an Iron Man HUD.
They took one of the most brilliant and slick tutorials and replaced it with an X-Men Danger room thing that takes almost 30 mins.
Then, THEN they made the game play faster which turned it into CoD with mechs. That was the worst offense, speeding up the gameplay and movement.
Final piece on the shit cake was removing the physical HUD because they could not be bothered to optimize it cause "performance issues". Don't worry! Just throw a Iron Man thing where the good HUD used to be!
>>337228078
I prefer those too - especially when we all get them. but even in the arsenal of UT99, it felt OP as fuck, and compared to the shitballs everyone else has in new games, its now ridiculous.
I just wish there was once a sniper class thats more about recon and repositioning and shit, instead of dolphin diving quickscoping OR the chargeup door-frame-observer
>>337228083
Wasnt this just a worse Mountain Blade but with better graphics? Als kinda unfortunate releasing the same time as Call of Duty: Chivalry Medieval Warfare
>>337228083
That was the most melee online fun I had in a game
>tfw lopping heads off left and right
Though its also the game that made sure I won't really have high hopes for the future of melee vidya.
>>337218570
I'm right there with you friend, so few people at the time could see how forward thinking SMNC was.
If that game was released a year or two ago it'd be the third biggest moba on the market. It was just too much too soon for most people.
>>337219563
How about that giant house level with the over powered gun? You had to shoot a certain part of the lamp to get it. As soon as you got it people would either leave or snipe you for it.
Dirty Bomb still runs it's in game HUD on a separate process that can crash mid game, removing your HUD. That process can also become a zombie process creating a memory leak.
It's been like 2 years. More since beta.
>>337228078
TF2 sniper has a perfect aim and it's nowhere near as powerful at in overtrash or even dirty bomb for that matter.
Because valve actually knows how to design an fps.
>>337227972
APB after joker boxes.
It was bad enough that they had 3 slot guns you could buy early and not have to lease in game, but then Joker boxes gave a CHANCE at getting weapons that couldn't be gotten without real money.
Multiplayer was godlike ;_;
>>337228339
The game was dead to me the moment they stopped updating the fucking thing. The new HUD sounds so awful I don't even wanna see what it looks like now.
>>337228735
>crouch
>left click
>jump
>repeat
I made a post early on about Dirty Bomb being able to overcome poor design if they created a product and culture within the game to foster attachment to it.
The game is sterile and has no character. It claims to defy modern shooters while exhibiting their music and aesthetic. I threw this Crossfade together 2 years ago I think. I synced it up nice too.
The game needed to focus on creating an identity to go along with its gameplay. The identity it has now is "dead game with broke everything". I wanted it to be something a bit more smash mouth and crass.
What a shame.

This game was really fun. Most fun I've had with archery in any game really. What exactly happened that made it go to shit though?
>>337228639
Because Snipers in TF2 contribute jack all to the team. They don't cap, they don't defend well, they can barely pick important targets. They are a waste of a player slot, and they only shine when the rest of the team is already competent, which is not really a noteworthy feat.
>>337228380
Well, snipers in Dirty Bomb absolutely suck at close quarters and quickscoping isn't really a thing for some reason, even at point blank range. That or I just mow them down so quickly.
Redeye and Aimee can wield non-scoped battle rifles so you can pretty much use them as mobile spotters, but because most characters move so fast it's hard to master semi-auto rifles like Dreiss or Grandeur because of high recoil. Might be I just suck though, I find burst-fire to be the best of both worlds.
If you're talking about Overwatch... I think it's a meme game and I hope it will die. I know it won't because Blizzard, but I hope it will.
>>337228971
you'd die in 0,1sec
>>337228873
Just to be clear, I am referring to the old industrial and yellow one with the square cursor as being good. It has a horizontal menu at the top which is great for PC and it looked like nothing else.
It was replaced by a white and blue UI that is hard to read and using a centered left vertical menu that looks like shit.
>>337229086
Not much worse off than any other class really.
I played very little with the snipers in the game, I truly fucking hate doing something that is not absolutely the best I can for victory, and since I don't have perfect aim or anywhere near it a sniper class is basically where I'm the most useless, not to mention also most bored.
I do have to say I love burst fire in DB, I hated it in nearly all other games but DB was able to snag it right where it should be, not too weak and not too strong.

But ofc fuck Trion they suck ass, greedy jews.
>>337227735
I played a lot of tribes again in January. Looking back at it, Tribes ascend was a pretty fundamentally flawed game. Flag drag makes the game slower, but without it, flag cappers would just be literally impossible to chase. They could just ski around in the outer reaches of the map and no one besides snipers would be able to answer them. Chases are exciting and fun but without flag drag they just don't happen. You can either turtle the fuck out of your flag to the point where capping is impossible, but if the flag IS grabbed, then it's worthless to try to chase it down, just set up for the next one.
Plus, the entire dynamic of generators involves players willingly entering small cramped environments which tribes isn't really designed around. Not to mention camping with the flag in the generator room. I guess tribes has the reputation (meme) of "going fast" but really only one role in that game is supposed to do that. I guess you COULD just play rabbit, but people gravitate towards ctf because that feels like the definitive playmode.
Personally, I'd like to see them try a mode with one flag in the center of the map that both teams want to bring to their base. Or maybe even something weird like a capture point conquest gamemode like a battlefield game?
Or they could just give up. They had a TON of hype back in 2011, 2012 but that's basically all died at this point.
>>337229419
forgot pic
This game was pretty fun at the time, but the impression I got was people thought it should be free with micro transactions, and that's what killed it.
>>337218996
Why is life so unfair?
>>337229297
It helps than BR-16 used to be the best gun in the game for a long time. But yes burst fire guns feels great in DB even if you don't really expect them to be with its relative fats movement speed and "parkour".
>>337229446
Nah, Labor Points were central to how the game and economy worked. Trion being greedy fucks and putting rare shit like Thunderstruck Logs on the cash shop was what killed it.
>hacks
Yeah, this too, but Trion's inability to detect and ban hackers because F2P was part of it.
>>337217595
I really like this game, I have periods where I end hooked hard to it. I feel that they should comission some artits or something to create content related to it (some comics, official art, whatever...), it has some potential but I feels dull, give it more character.
>>337229478
Tribes did what it was supposed to do, give Hirez a piggyback ride until the release of Smite. Which, in the end, it also became mildly successful, so it was kind of the right course to take.
>>337229297
>Not much worse off than any other class really.
I kinda disagree because most (if not all) non-sniper classes have two more well-rounded offensive weapons (burst/auto rifles, shotguns, pdws, pistols) and melee on top of that, so even when they run out of ammo they can quickly switch to sidearms and keep the pressure going, snipers on the other hand can only use weaker sidearms and, unless they have kukri, they're too slow to make a good use of melee.
>>337223601
That skillbar.
I love you anon. Its as classic as the hamstorm warrior.
It wasn't the greatest game ever but man was the multiplayer fun, especially on PS3 where the community was pretty small so all the players knew each other

>>337226810
>can counter them by not going the way they are cutting off
If only that were possible on all maps. Some sadly have really convinient chokepoints for snipers.
Then again as you said good snipers are thank god rare. And just remembering that 1 fucking vasily who single handedly shut down our whole team makes my blood boil up. Sure, he kept getting med packs and ammo thrown at him, but he was fucking godlike, and from the killshots it didnt even seem as if he was hacking.
>>337218570
>>337218570
SMNC had a fucking TON of depth, the game was great. Every character had 2 guns unique to them, 3 abilities that worked off cool down, different movement speeds, multiple different grabs, different healths, some had deployables and deployed modes.
It was so fun getting into intense 1 on 1 fights with people. It was always super rewarding to kill an Assassin or a Sparks player, those faggots acted like their class took so much skill when they had amazing damage, speed, and escapes.
I'm pretty sure I was the best Combat Girl in that game, she was so fucking strong in the late game it was nuts.
>>337220123
This man understands Gunz. If it had decent netcode a lot of the fancy k-style/butterflying stuff would be meh due to how you could just spam a gun at someone and murder them easily.
Gunz was a game that only kind of had depth.

Nuclear Dawn was awful. It reeked of badly done Source mod, the players didn't have enough firepower to pick the flimsiest turret, and the strategy boiled down to get the major resource point as fast as possible. Nobody will miss it.
>>337229478
To save myself typing everything I have ever said on the game again, I could just give my reddit posts to you. I made a reddit account to help test the Tribes patch way back in Sept.
The short of it is: The Tribes community have their heads up their asses and are smug fuck head.
Tribes never took off as an IP because of how flawed it was and how hard it was to balance. The first 2 games alone created two completely different experiences that divided the community.
Spending time on the Tribes subreddit showed me that all the community wants is Tribes 2, when that is a selfish and stupid approach. To influence the developers to remake a game that failed spectacularly. If I recall my numbers right, Tribes 2 only sold 200,000 copies before it left store shelves.
"Remove flag drag and speed caps!"
You cannot do this, it is bad game design.
"I WANT IT! ITS JUST NOT FUN WITHOUT IT!"
So in my best efforts I tried to influence the game using a progressive ideology of making a game that can persist outside the exclusive Tribes community. Deaf ears because of nepotism and exclusivity/inner circle crap.
I really wish the Conquest mode in Tribes was played more, it just didn't get any attention.
Hi-Rez stated they were working on a new game mode to bring in new players and keep them. I hope that hasn't been dropped.
Removing classes was the best thing to happen to Tribes Ascend, but there are people who do not like change. Again something I wrote about, but is lengthy and Im not posting that again here.
Tribes could have lived if people weren't so petty and Hi-Rez were such arrogant assholes who shit on the community publicly. It could have lived if they didn't suck so bad at game design.

The extreme amount of grind needed at release and actual lack of content killed it on top of Nexon US being shit (EU didn't have much problems). I replayed a year ago or so and the way they reduced the grind made it a bit more enjoyable despite being dead as fuck but then all the crafting but at high level is useless and you outlevel most of the content.

>>337230128
So, Tribes as a franchise isn't well known enough for new installments to be truly successful, but the fans it DOES have are too big of fans to see their game become too different or inclusive to new players.
Bad situation to be in, I think basically all area shooters are in this situation today.
I would totally buy the Dirty Bomb license, it's an easy fix.
Also I find it funny how bad Crytek fucked up Warface. I never cared, I just remembered they were aiming to be a CoD esq game with CSGO competitive and the game was total ass. Chuckle goes here.

>>337227743
No, it's a meme.
>>337230450
Yeah, elitism and failure to be selfless to ensure future success of their beloved game. They do not care about new users.
I fixed their capper/chasing dilemma without touching any stats or creating band-aids like packs. I am going to be arrogant and say it was pure genius and only served to provide more teamwork and better gameplay experiences.

>>337226195
Fletcher a shit.
The trouble with Fletcher is that you can't detonate shit when you're dead, so you need to play really cautiously to use your sticky bombs effectively, which in turn means that going for objectives isn't as easy.
I like Proxy because although you're squishy, you can easily rush objectives thanks to your speed, and do things like suicide mines to blast through enemy groups. Combine that with the try hard perk that can give you 110 health and suddenly you can make things really difficult for the enemy.
Not like anyone will remember this anyway.god I miss it. the 14 of us who play every other sat. isnt enough

Steel Ocean. Basically the game that World of Warships should have been. But the chink devs didn't bother promoting it at all and left it to slowly sink into obscurity like what happened to NF2. A bunch of anons still stick to it because nobody wants to go back to WoWS, but the game becomes 3v3 starting from tier VI and high tiers are completely dead or dominated by Chinese doomstacks looking for easy prey after getting stomped on the Chinese server. Only viable for clanfagging anymore.
RIP bote games. WT boats is still to come but knowing Gaijin, it will be even worse than WG.net's attempt.
>>337230128
Hirez sure has its own share of fault, since they didn't have any clear idea on what to do beside "It's gonna be F2P, we gotta have something there to get money from impatient fools" and no ability in working on the UE3 well enough to make decent and meaningful changes to the game (stuff like physics, possible private server, support, even mapping), but yeah, the audience was not good at all. On one part the mouthbreathers that jumped on the wagon with no experience of the older games of the series, on the other part the sperglords that wanted the old games "just as they were", without considering we had like three games before Ascend all playing very differently. Also I suggest you looking for old Tribes' subreddits. It's both hilarious and sad.

>vista broke it
No it didnt. It was launched with vista. What broke it was M$ putting PC nerf patches only to just screw PC players up, like limiting our weapons, removing out of program mouse speeds then lowering the ingame mouse speed to extremely low levels so we couldnt look around as fast, removing the mouse wheel as a weapon switch option and hard locking it to a single key and other 'nerfs' to put us on par with their console part so cross platform wouldnt fail.
Its the same reason halo 3 PC only got to internal alpha that lasted 1 weekend (they got actual halo 3 pros on console to fight every day PC players on the PC port as it was going to be cross platform) and the pro's lost almost every single game. M$ was afraid that if the live kiddies found out that the PC players were winning 95% of the matches, they wouldnt pay for live. So it got canned, as well as GFWL gold (no one was actually buying it and the big push they had/were going to have was cross platform play and halo 3's cross platform play).
M$ didnt /kill/ cross platform via GFWL per se, but they didnt support it at all internally and any dev willing to do it got the old 2008 code that was never updated or touched, so they had to actually fix it themselves. This is why the ONLY game who used it post m$ killing it was blublaze.

I wouldnt play TSW, and I use to be the biggest shill on here for it. The base game is ok (the writing and the atmo is god tier), but the combat is bland. Not bad, just bland and the actual engine and all the things that come with it (like the UI and such) are messes that have been around since the alpha of conan.
The biggest issue you will have is with the extreme blatant lies from funcom. Im not talking bliz lies... we're talking full on hyper jew outright fucking lies that killed its community.
Like tokyo. tokyo was hinted at for years to be mostly free (like vienna council) where the base story could be played, but the mass majority would be paid content. That way you could continue the base story but if you wanted tons more stuff, you could get it. They hinted at it being like this for almost a year and a half. Even held an entire year long event to get people geared for it.
3 weeks before the issue was to drop, they announce its going to be pay to enter. 2 weeks before it drops, they announce its now going to be a trilogy and span over 3 issues, each 10$. Once it drops, the first issue literally ends mid quest. It actually says when you try and turn in the quest "purchase the next issue to continue".
They announce right before the 3rd tokyo issue that they made a pack and called it the complete tokyo pack. Buy it, get all 3 tokyo issues and all the side quests. Finish all of the tokyo saga. The next week, right before it hits, they announce that tokyo is going to be the end of what they see as 'season 1'. Season 2 will take place in a new location, like tokyo, and continue on with the story.
2 weeks after tokyo's 3rd issue comes out, they announce another tokyo issue, tell all those who bought the complete tokyo pack "to bad". After it dropped, they announced /another/ tokyo issue. This doesnt even touch that tokyo changed the core game from play as you like to korean grindfest
I cant in good conscious let you play it without warning.

Nope, and yeah there are tons of threads over a few years with this issue but nothing has worked yet. Not going to give up yet.

Oh? As apposed to what you just did?
RIP
FFXI is the only game I truly wish never died.
I couldn't give a single fuck about any other game I've played that's died if it meant FFXI returning to its former glory.
M-maybe the mobile version won't be total shit.
>>337233754
I did no such thing Anon I just called you out on your shit. My favorite dead game is Thievery UT.

Fucking hell, EA. Give me back Dawngate already. And Battleforge.

wasn't this yet another moba that tried to copy lol?
>>337234123
Why blame EA for shutting it down? It was clearly the right decision, this thing was doomed from the start.
Holy molly just remembered SOLDAT. Anybody played it? This game was rad as fuck, Dont know why its not on Steam.
It was released when nobody cared about 'muh pixels' and had a very nice community, also very fun game
>>337234308
They shut down a game that was in CLOSED BETA because it didnt give them enough profit
>>337234374
I really liked that heavy sniper rifle and the rocket launcher, felt powerful. That long hair was full autism though.
>>337234374
i absolutely loved this game. such tight controls. this was back when i was playing cs 1.6 (or earlier) a lot, and it felt like a 2d version of that with jetpacks. nice one.

>>337234534
>antivirus blocks Dirty Bomb
>>337234419
They pulled the plug on a product that could never have been profitable in the environment it was planned to release in. Everyone saw it coming. EA would have been stupid to keep pumping money in Dawngate, it was dead weight.
>>337231792

>>337217595
I've probably over 3000 hours clocked in to original flashpoint, also known as Arma Cold War Assault for newfags.

>>337234887
Ment AVG lol
>>337229027
absolutely no support
most of you are lucky and the servers are up at least.
Had the greatest time with this gem.
Even though at the end there were only like ~30ppl in the gamelobby and most of them were eastern europeans it still was fun as hell.
I will never play 4on4 on burial grounds again :(
>>337233762
It was still-birthed because EA and whoever the dev was, cant remember, focused on marketing the "lore" vs the merits of what it brought to the table. That is why it failed. It was way better than shit like the DC Moba. It was on League's level production wise. It might have been greater. It was good, no reason to kill it. Could have taken 3rd place from SMITE.
THIS GAME
This game was the fucking best shit on launch. All the crazy weapons, dropping buildings on people, smashing people up with sledgehammers. It was fucking great.
>>337235320
DoW was an unbalanced mess. What would you expect.

>>337235530
YFW i did that
>>337235495
It had a recent revamp with the Steam rerelease. And it failed because, surprise suprise, it's fucking horrible to play. The cover system is a tacked on garbage, the weapons are unbalanced, in true RF fare, and it boiled down to level down everything and taking potshots before the other players can do so.
Maplestory is kind of dead right now.
Maybe because everyone is on school/work at this hours.
>>337235530
as long as no priest was attached to them kasrkin could be killed easily with t2 troops.
>>337235505
it was very balanced imo. Only tau were op as fuck.
>>337236143
I guess Eldars kiting everything to death was not a thing then.
>>337234840
There is no reason to play original with Arma 2 and 3 around. Its identical fucking game just with better everything.
>>337217595
It's a shame because for a free to play fps it's got alot of variety in how you can play and its decently balanced besides a few small things being a bit too strong and some useless items.
>>337236671
There are better and similar games with more character in their presentation. The game has no identity.
>>337229874
>I received a random extra copy of the game, but no one ever wants it
>>337236473
Your opinion is wrong, sorry.
>>337236968
such as? Name a game that lets me change my armor to be tanky or speedy, change each part of the guns, choose from a big variety of gear, and also have depot items on top of that?

>tfw both favorite online games alive and flourishing
It's been going downhill ever since it was bought by kabam. Fuck that company.
>>337237276
It's just that Arma 2 & 3 are both incredibly clunky messes and extremely unfun to play, while original is a great blend of playability and authenticity.
>>337236143
Ah but that's the thing, I always had priests on my Kasrkin.And my Ogryn.
>>337236385
eldar kiting was annoying but every race had enough tools given to work around that.
Will there ever be a good 1v1 fps?
Sometimes I boot it up just to hear the menu music and reminisce.
This game right here had some insanely fun multiplayer, it's a pity it was confined to the OG Xbox and never made it elsewhere.
>>337237997
Will, not was.
I loved it despite the whole internet hating it to death.
>>337237997
I said good.
>>337237989
It may be able to run on the one soon. They've talked about making og games backwards compatible
>>337238413
It was a good concept but the execution was awful imo
>>337237596
>>337237421
This
Overwatch has amazingly fun characters that do not synergyize at all in a game supposedly focused on teamwork. Characters are so strong they can handle themselves. The game does not support these characters with good map design and interesting game modes, so their conception is wasted. The game fails to passively encourage teamwork, meaning that the power of all characters being so strong you do not need to rely on others at all. The games become a mess of unfocused nonsense. The fact that there are only two game modes and they are so uninspired as I said, does not offer compelling gameplay that can hold your attention for hours.
>>337238638
It was a very good first try, consider it was a concept that was never done at this scope before
shattered galaxy
>>337238636
...My copy is long lost to the sands of time. I hope they bring the old catalogues out for purchase on XBL or something.
>>337238782
Yeah, i know, i played it at launch. For me at least the problem was that it became boring too fucking fast. Also the monster was too fucking powerful and if you didn't have a good team you were fucked
>>337232745
Probably your graphics driver, had a similar issue which didn't resolve until my drivers updated and suddenly the game launched again, previously i was having the same issue. I would start it, it would show up in tasks, but would just disappear after about 10 seconds
>>337238863
Winrate ended up close near 50% for both sides
Of course, that was all monsters. Wraith was bullshit on release, but that is again because this was new attempt with little foundation on how to balance it
Really, Evolve feels like a game that needs a sequel just to see if second attempt is miles better than the first. I always felt Goliath was the most powerful and the most fair monster to fight against.
>>337217595
>pic related
This is basically the european counterpart to Runescape. Loved this game and the system behind it.
>tfw all the aggro farming back then in Jinno
Good times
>>337237989
I thought the original Bad Fur Day had better multiplayer modes, personally. My friends and I would spend so much time playing Beach, Raptor, and Heist.
This unbalanced piece of shit. It was surprisingly fun for a while. I wish there was a similar game with a Singleplayer mode. It wasn't balanced for multiplayer.
>>337239040
The truth is, they managed to make a very niche game (a rework of versus mode of L4D with just one infected player) and sell it to a big crowd. Problem is, most people don't want that. I'm sure it's not as terrible as people here make it seem (one of my friends has 700 hours clocked, there needs to be a goddamn good reason for keep playing that much), but let's be real, the won't manage to pull off the same stunt twice.
>>337239430
I was already leery after buying L4D2, since it really wasn't my thing. I'm glad I skipped Evolve.
>>337233969
I played this right at the end and loved it. The Cape was so fun
>>337240075
Is that supposed to be sarcastic or do you really think 1.5k players is "dead"?
>>337239369
piat, garand and that flak cannon dino were unbalanced as fuck
>>337234308
Pretty sure that game had a better chance than most other "we want to make a moba too"-games
>>337240186
There are more people playing the dying light demo than KF2. So yeah, i think it's dead
>>337239430
The problem was not that at all. The problem was the business model and inherent flaws in the game's design.
The business model made zero sense for this type of game. You need as many people as possible to play in order to support a game so reliant on player population. The fact that you had to unlock things in a fashion similar to League or the likes also made no sense for a $60 game. They should have copied SMITE. The game is free, you can buy hunters and monster, cosmetics. But if you pay $30-40 you can unlock all characters present and future. Turtle Rock planned to sell maps as well, to further segment a community with such a high barrier of entry given the price made even harder by the poor design of the game.
You would not always get the role you wanted even if you queued with friends. One might not like playing a certain role and if the community favored one over the other, it creates a problem.
A massive oversight was the lack of effort in providing variety for each match. Things were always player dependent when there should have been an outside influence. These are the people who fucking created the AI director. Why is it that the company who realized a game playing out the same every time would be boring not taking advantage of their past knowledge to enhance their game.
Create an AI director that alters the match based on performance of one side. Have this director create random events or objectives that favor both sides or only one. The argument here is leaving victory to chance. I say that is a poor argument given that enough effort be put in, you can prevent this from happening. A simple solution if you are lazy is to let the random events be either limited to a non-ranked mode, or voted on in non-ranked. Then offer a ranked mode without the AI director.
The game was designed to be a service product, one that needed to survive based on long-term player growth and retention. It almost no content to justify the price.

The game was never going to survive. You cannot support a game with no many variables that potentially can get out of hand and form a meta. The gameplay divorced from customization would have been enough.

Fun fact: My rarest achievement is from that game. Only .11 percent of players have Hold The Line because some update broke achievements after the week or two I played.

>>337230128
was part of that community for a bit more than a year, pugs, stupid reddit posts and everything (in eu). In retrospect, best times were capping/chasing with some of the pl8 guys in pubs. That's what the game's good at. Left it once I tried out quake.

These poorfag shitposters keep talking about F2P shooters that are just as good, if not better, than Overwatch. Now that the beta has ended I want to play those. So which games are they talking about?

>>337242628
The IG's only big weakness was a lack of dedicated anti-tank units without having roaming teams of heavy weapons units on hand. It felt like the only recourse was coming at them with Wraithknights, Dreadknoughts and other heavy tanks, etc. Either that or crush the IG early with melee units before they could get their morale upgrades and commisars.

Eternal Crusade is pretty much Space Marine : Multiplayer edition if that is your thing though it has less customization.
>>337248954
I grant you that the DLC approach was shitty, but the multiplayer was pretty damn fun. They really should have gotten rid of the defensive perks for Assault/Raptor though
>>337230035
the game was great early on in europe and had minimal pay2win shit, albeit a bit grindy, but it was fun
the later updates killed it, making it extremely pay2win and very very grindy. im glad i got to play while it was still good.
>>337250460
No, it wasn't. It was a mess with overpowered weapons and poor hit detection.
