Lmao the thumbnail looks like the intro to one really shitty porno

Just a friendly reminder that gamers are not virgins but actually very successful men in real life

This is gonna be the third time where they’ve literally released the same modern warfare people have already played and cod fans are gonna blow over a 100 on it.
The game isn’t finished and they’re already charging people dozens of dollars for it with even more micro transactions and restricted content than in the original which is a sequel to a franchise with probably 40 games at this point. And they’ll get away with it to because if immortal has taught us anything is that the gaming community is filled to the brim with idiots that’ll buy fucking anything with glee for a company managed by rapists ahahahahahahahahahahaha

You know when you think about it planetside 2 is the only massively multiplayer online game that exists

Because the game treats the adult player base like adults

That’s it. That’s the only fucking reason considering so many games hold your hand on so much the game might aswell play itself and when it doesn’t the player actually has a fucking choice which is fucking rare to see in RPGs these days. Bye I’m done

Not only was it discovered that the new and terrible diablo game didn’t cost 100k but 110k but now it’s getting review bombed, shit talked by everyone in the pc gaming community, all on top of getting banned in the Netherlands and Belgium and it’s looking like blizzard is about to be out on trial again like EA did for lootboxes.

Dear god I hope this shit implodes more because this could cause a cascading effect that destroys microtransactions in games permanently

people who makes ARGs be like

Apex is a game with fun mechanics for the wrong genre. If im being completely honest it really should’ve been a hero based movement shooter like tf2 or quake than what it currently is as a battle royale game and it shows, the combat works at its best when shits fast but falls apart completely when you have to these long ass pauses in between skirmishes where your trying to find someone to kill

It really plays like a mini game to another game that should’ve released we never got

Its out soon. Any other HOI4 etc. grand strategy enthusiasts here?

The Second World War’s hardest fighting was on the Eastern Front of Europe.

No Step Back is the newest expansion for Hearts of Iron IV, Paradox Interactive’s grand strategy wargame about the world crisis of the 1930s and World War II. This expansion adds greater detail for many nations in Eastern Europe, unique game systems to reflect Soviet politics, and many improvements to the military aspect of the game.

>New Soviet National Focuses.

>New Polish National Focuses.

>New Baltic National Focuses: Shared alternate history paths for Estonia, Latvia and Lithuania, as well as unique paths for each.

>Army Officer Corps: Build a general staff, drawing on the talents and expertise of available officers to take advantage of changes in technology and tactics.

Short answer
They made a pvp multiplayer game but forgot about making sure the pvp and multiplayer aspect of it worked

Long answer
It’s the short one but with explanations.
>One at the start this game was inherently supposed to be hardcore
the day the developers decided to allow a consent to pvp feature they already started losing players as now the game fundamentally lost a part of its identity. You just can’t expect to make a game with universal appeal either you stick with the hardcore players that will stick with the game even if they’re small in population or the casuals that don’t wanna get jumped every few minutes
<Two the game needs to account for exploits
this happens in every yes every hardcore pvp game. Players will always search for cheap tricks and bugs they can exploit to gain a competitive advantage and developers HAVE to look out for things like animation canceling, collision box issues, client security etc before implementing pvp which has to be under constant regulation. New world didn’t have any of that and unsurprisingly shit tons of crashes, hacks, cheats and scams flooded the game to the point where the economy in it completely collapsed due to duping and pking
<three the game was not only unfinished but for a multiplayer game it was missing shitloads of multiplayer components
No cross play, no cross compatibility, no ports to console or switch, no account linking, your getting the point there’s not many ways to interact with other players in the game like you can in rust. As for that unfinished part just like with the exploits bugs were rampant and at times made the game completely unplayable likely due to being poorly playtested(or it was and the devs simply ignored the bugs to keep up with quotas which is the more likely reason)

All of this combined created an unfinished mmo with no identity, no sense of massively multiplayer components and a very small online community.
So what’s the lesson in this? Don’t build games around casuals, finish games before release
