Can you play with bots?

Great video, though I would incorporate a bit more edits and less gameplay in the background and also your mic has some ambient noise in the back that is a bit distracting. I like the concepts and ideas expressed, a bit rambly at times but nice to listen to if I have the video in the background

I need this game to comeback. I think everyone like me who says they miss this game and are sad to see it die just need to try to play in the evenings on weekends, everyone just needs to start booting up the game, it’s the only way.

Nicely done.

I was at launch and it was great, I loved having random generated maps that meant that no one had the upper hand

This game was a ton of fun when there were people playing it. Really hoping for some updates from the devs to bring people back

That was awesome. Thanks for sharing

Such a cool game

Fantastic video!!

You HAVE to pay attention to your audio levels man. Your voice is super quiet, then suddenly you're blasting my ears in a clip with an explosion and your voice ridiculously loud.

Annapurna did a bad job marketting the game(they didn't at all). Game needs work yes, needs better netcode etc etc but at this point reducing the price or maybe even f2p is a necessity

Great video! :D

Vampires: We have a balance with the humans, a deal! Dracula: WELCOME TO THE SHADOW REALM JIMBO!

Outstanding video! Would love to see some more lore videos!

Used to play this game and loved it but its slow death and never getting new players was so sad to see

Going F2P could really save this game

by the time i tried out the game it was pretty much dead, but damn this game is awesome and it’s so sad to see it like this.. such a unique concept and great art style with really nice gun animations too 😭 seems like the servers are offline and idk if they’re coming back, either way nice video bro this entire situation is just depressing to see

it is just sad so much potential wasted hope devs make a comeback its a dead game for now

The hit reg was awful the game had way too many cheaters for a dead game and the devs took forever to even patch the hit reg let alone the balance uhh loved the game but sweet christ the devs fucked up something good

Never heard of this game but I have to play it now, looks fantastic! Great to see someone shouting out indie games that deserve recognition

I always wanted to play this game but now that i finally have a pc it's dead 😢

Great video man, I played a lot back when it officially launched but nowadays considering the player count, it's literally impossible to play PvP. I guess they can update it and re-release it later on, it's sad that no one plays this game. It's always felt really unique to me, I come from CS, R6 and this being a combination of those with a twist and "goofy" graphics makes it really fun to play and look at.

The innovation in changing maps would appeal to so many hardcore FPS players if this game had more spotlight.

This game is awesome i just wish it wasnt dead JUST MAKE IT F2P PLSS

every friday evening will be "Duesday", its a new horizon

NIce video from a small channel. Loved it thanks.

When you lived to see the end :

I always like to think the hunter hes talking about is me, because I main hunter and I die a LOT

THE NATURAL ORDER OVERTURNED!!

Who's going to tell this guy that Live Service games are dominating the single player games he referenced? Hell, Starfield cratered like a rock.

Just as the iron lords intended

Live service games are usually more enjoyable after they are dead or about to...E g Marvel's Avengers

on baby

0:56 wholesome !!

A game like Diablo 4 could easily be played offline but Blizzard just had to make it require a constant connection to advertise their storefront. They could just make the skins be rewards for beating the game, or defeating a certain boss but noooooo, they just have to charge 20+dollars for it🤑

Isn't Battlebit a live service game? As far as I know you can't make your own server, which makes it a live service game.

When she call my Zodiark till I end

Yeah im done too. Been able to play my backlog without feeling like im missing out.

Just came here to suggest Midnight Fight Express; it's another awesome indie title with dozens of hours worth of replayabilty and a great story without any of the woke stuff.

Down with live services!

I beg to differ, depends highly on the game. Plus I have over 95 hours in BG3 and can say when I finish the 2 runs I'm doing I'm done. I know 90% of what generally can happen. So I won't be playing again its done for me. A live service game allows me to know that the game is constantly updated. But like I said before game depending its not the games but the upper management that hurts service games mostly.

Wild, though in defense of the bungie developers, producers and developers have very different roles. A developer wants to make a cool game and wants the time to make it a producer wants to create a return on the studios investment. The biggest issue with live service games is that they produce results. FIFA ultimate (not a live service but close) generates over 1 billion dollars PER YEAR the money possible from a live service game is too big for producers to ignore. Developers have to make them in the small time their given. (also in terms of audio sound pads or recording somewhere to dampen echos would improve alot already got a solid mic)

I used to play Fortnite, Overwatch, Apex Legends, Rocket League, and Fall Guys, I would just flip flop between them, but nowadays I'm only really playing single players games and some Fortnite because I got tired of multiplayer games for the most part, I was spending way too much on all those games combined when I could've spent that money to get other games that could give me better experiences that I will remember, Fortnite is the only one I still play because it feels like a new game every season so at least it changes things up a lot, while other live services kind of just give the bare minimum while putting all their efforts into the cosmetics so they can make a quick 30 dollars out of you

Single Player gamer to Multiplayer gamer: “Wow, sucks to be you.”

I hope so. Fuck live services. The worst thing right after the plague and communism.

Your whole point of this video is made moot the second you said that almost every game released has live service elements. Just looking at the biggest games of the last few years, Starfield, Jedi Survivor, God of War Ragnarok, FF16, Last of us 2, zelda, doom eternal, elden ring... Where are the live service elements? 2 of the only actual GAAS games you mentioned early on, Destiny and Fortnite, are a decade old and are towering examples of when GAAS work very well Basically, it's just another irrelevant 59 sub youtube who thinks "hm i can make a following off a silly point". Battlefront 2 is NOT live service, it's a multiplayer shooter that had lootboxes. You need to learn what live service means "You're making mid content that comes out every" That's essentially your channel. A non-point with a load of other non-points and inaccurate information

Great writing my friend. Hilarious I never went to live service. Always choose single player games I had control with. I played Baldurs Gate 3 since it was released early access. And I love Larian for what they produced. A love letter to something they absolutely loved. D&D (and not the company that owns the rights). I will always gravitate to passion projects first. FOMO never worked on me. It always scared me off.

Glad I found your video. As someone who used to play way too much D2, over 5000 hours at this point, I have started to play less and less. Factors outside gaming have influenced that, but every time I return I think 2 things: Destiny core gameplay is still amazing, but the seasonal model is no longer interesting and feels stale. Also I appreciate your point on witch queen story vs lightfall and beyond light. The final shape should spend little to no time explaning the new subclass, and give it to us immediately - then spend the rest of the campaign entirely on story. Sidenote: great video, but maybe boost your video volume, and more voice, lower music

This is why I've been trying to tell people DAYZ is the best game ever created for like a decade now... 10 years of 100% non-stop experiences, not DLC, microtransactions or lack luster battlepasses - just sweet sweet content.
