a mysterious cloak posted:Lesson learned: Never buy an ICR-pimped game, ever. No, NO! The loving lesson is stay the gently caress away from Live Services okay, it's the kiss of loving death for any video game. They all suck in one way or another, no matter what.

Masonity posted:Path of Exile is a GaaS which seems to be doing it right. It's also one of the least offensive freemium games out there. Playing pretty princess dress up is expensive, but all you need to play properly are a few tab upgrades which come to less than a new game anyway. Path of Exile is FREE, none of the Live SERVICE games have ever been even remotely free. You can play Path of Exile without paying out the nose, you sure as gently caress can't play any of these AAA abominations without sacrificing significant potions of your mortal flesh. So really bad example there mate, this mess should be compared to Anthem (poo poo), Fallout 76 (loving hell) and the Division 1/2 (Painfully average at best).

The Black Stones posted:Can someone explain why when I’m joining a friends game my damage goes to utter poo poo? My gear stats go down into the 200’s and I do like 10 points of damage per hit with black widows guns. I figure the game would try damage scale but it’s WAAAAY underneath what his is. To slow you down so you play the game longer?

Codependent Poster posted:Yeah, the story campaign is really good. I think it's worth it. But if you buy, we get more of this poo poo. So, why not just watch a let's play of the story instead, save money, send a signal that this poo poo is poo poo!

dogstile posted:He's not wrong. People should stop buying this poo poo so the studios at least pretend to put in effort next time. It also doesn't help how this keeps happening and the only way to make it stop totally, is to stop buying them, at all. Even if it goes on sale for a dollar, don't buy it, if you've even been tempted to buy any sort of microtransaction.

Orv posted:Nah, ADL had a 100% miss rate, ICR has at least championed stuff like The Division which is not an everyone thing but have been successful and good. I remember trying Marvel Heroes ages ago, It was just a Hack and slash action game, felt like I was playing Diablo, just a lot more colourful.

Necrothatcher posted:My crackpot theory is that Crystal Dynamics want out and their contract with Disney says they're only obligated to provide support until the playerbase falls below a certain level. Gotta tank those numbers asap before they go bust developing DLC for a couple of thousand players. There are 450ish playing this on Steam*, if that isn't low enough, what is? Four and a donkey? A Russian chat bot? Walt Disney's frozen mind? *Yes, yes, we know, more people will be playing this, trapped in the hellscape that is consoles, we know.

cvnvcnv posted:For all the lambasting over two Hawkeye up top, not wholly undeserved on a particular level, it is intellectually disingenuous to the fact that despite the dumbass nature of the game it is still one deeply driven and concerned with narrative and Kate --> Clint makes perfect sense, especially given the initial list of proposed dlc characters. Cut that list off at the knees, as is likely the case now, Kate leading directly into Clint is solidified as being truly good and right as far as story. The big problem about two Hawkeyes, is that one of them ain't in the movies. That's pretty much it, I know who the other Hawkeye is, most of us here do, but there are people who watch the marvel movies and haven't read a comic book for decades if ever, they haven't got a clue who she is.

It was briefly on sale, 60% off, steam numbers went up to just above 2000. Well done, I guess at this stage, everyone who wanted to try the single player campaign have pretty much already done it. I anticipate maintenance mode within a matter of months. Also, Outriders on Steam? Shedding about a thousand players every single day. I guess not of these games are...serviceable.

Fate Accomplice posted:outriders is explicitly not a live service game so I dunno what point you're making here? Dude, it's a game with always online as a requirement, that means only really one thing, MORE MONEY. And hey, if it looks like a GAAS, smells like a GAAS and has server issues at launch, well, why wouldn't I call it that. And honestly, the developers and publishers can call it whatever they want, it matters not.

dogstile posted:Can you actually buy anything with real money in Outriders? You know what, you've got a point, this is a GAAS, without monetization. Something somewhere either went horrible right or awesomely wrong, because everything about this mess reeks of a Service, but there is no real monetization beyond a day-one DLC pack on Steam. So something is clearly off, because the game is still always online, for seemingly no reason at all. Only logical answer? The monetization is coming down the line and someone wanted to dodge a PR bullet.

DLC Inc posted:I still maintain the worst decision this game ever made was ensuring any CPU character you don't control in your team, gets zero experience, making it necessary to grind the gently caress out of things to an inhumane level. Hahaha, that's totally deliberate, by making you grind, you play more, higher chance that the siren song of the microtransactions and cosmetics lure you in. Standard GAAS Whaling really.

AccountSupervisor posted:I think the devs definitely want to retain some of the base they gained from the free weekend so are easing the grind a bit in prep for Wakanda. I am hoping they just permanently buff XP but I have feeling they will keep it this way so they can entice players back with these XP boost events. So roughly a thousand players that'll be around for a week or two.

Radical 90s Wizard posted:Seems weird to be mad and say "people want the game to crash & burn" when the game clearly crashed and burned months ago. It's not childish, it's exactly what happened, and yea they might be making some positive changes, but it's pretty obvious it's not remotely enough to reignite most players interest. The last Steam sales pushed PC players up to roughly 2000, but that was it, clearly anyone who cared about games like this, have already played it. Why this haven't been Anthem'ed yet is beyond me though.

dogstile posted:In ICR threads its always the same 4/5 people who don't even like the genre anymore relentlessly making GBS threads on people who are having a good time, then acting weird when they start doing it back. I was right about Fallout 76, Anthem, this poo poo and loving Outriders. And I will never stop mocking people for buying GaaS and not realizing just how exploitative this bullshit really is.

Soonmot posted:Outriders was the fault of the devs not understanding what made the game fun and loving ti up, it's not a gaas. I SHOUld probably give it another chance now that they've made some changes. Outrider is a GaaS, with all the monetization ripped out, it's walks, talks, smells and farts just like the rest of them, for some odd reason, all the microtransactions have been torn out and thrown away. It's almost like some bizarre experiment.
