The thing that makes me personally sad that Among Us is dead, is that one of the developers (Puffballs) made a game that was a gigantic part of my childhood, The Henry Stickmin Collection. I loved all the games in it so much, they were absolutely hilarious. I wish that Among Us has that same feeling for me, but now it's just a random joke in my backlog.

Among Us being dead is fantastic

[@friendlyreaper9012]

That's what happens when people who don't usually play video games play certain ones. They get insanely popular but when they die they can't be revived. It's a lot worse than having a consistent dedicated player base. Also the memes kind of ruined the games reputation. Same with American psycho and the annoying sigma memes recently.

I used to play that game with my friends and it was great. I think what killed it was it’s lack of content. There were no new gauntlets added, items, no new maps, nothing. The only thing that changed each season was the battle pass.

Bloodhunts aesthetics are the only reason I started playing the game. It actually makes it stand out and doesn't look like every other shooter. The vampire stuff is what keeps it "alive" for now. It's unique. And gorgeous.

[@G30.]

I definetly like the new editing style, it still keeps the authentic macro touch just with more spice and more quality

[@SneakyPanda7-]

I'm loving this new editing style.

[@Burgertimee]

I actually played Bloodhunt recently because I watched your “End of Bloodhunt” video and honestly I loved the game as well, it was pretty easy to play but not too easy as I’ve only won once. As you said yea the Style of the game kinda threw me off because it seemed a bit creepy but I still wanted to give it a try because I had fun playing it. I found games suprisingly quick so maybe (hopefully) it will make a comeback, I mean they did introduce the new class that can fly so hopefully more gets added.

Bloodhunt is actually flourishing since the beginning of the new season, and the devs planning on marketing the game once the performance are stable and they add enough features, for the astatic I personally love it, I guess it's just a niche game

[@quinnwouters4021]

I still play Halo Infinite but it is indeed kinda dying. Even though there are almost no maps. It's still really cool and fun! With season 3 being just released. There is a lot of new customisation added in the game. And the new bandit rifle. That rifle just hits the spot. The campaign is really fun just like the multiplayer but the player base is dropping and fast. So yeah I hope people are starting to play it more again but until then. We will have to wait. 😔👍

Me and a friend tried rumble versus expecting to be disappointed. It looked goofy and we just wanted to try it just to make fun but honestly? It was surprisingly good! We came back and played it multiple times. Even when we lost we still had fun because of how goofy the game felt. I’m sad to see it go but to be honest, I didn’t expect this game to last for that long anyways

😃

[@Gabbfield]

5:26 just described hyper scape 😭😔

[@pinkpoumma3718]

love the editing style now, looks very smooth

[@appl3s0ft]

Bloodhunt already appeals to a specific niche which is the Vampire the Masquerade tabletop game. So changing the aesthetic and emphasizing characterization over customization would take away from the draws of the IP - which is about creating your own vampire trying to live in the real world. These changes aren’t bad ideas per se, but it would effectively no longer be Vampire the Masquerade.

[@coin2094]

yeah I understand his reasoning but i really don't like the idea of. "it should just conform to the aesthetic of every other game in its genre so its more marketable" that mentality is exactly whats killing creativity in the entertainment industry. and the worst part is he's completely right that it would help the game sell so I cant really blame him for giving that advise.

[@appl3s0ft]

@@coin2094 yeah from a marketing standpoint it does make sense. But VtM is just so unique to what’s out there. I wouldn’t want it losing its identity esp as you said, would take away from the creativity in the market. And I love me a game that does its best to be unique and stick out

[@gd-aqua9119]

Bloodhunt has been steady like going up little by little. I am hoping that their second market push will do wonders becuase the gameplay is amazing

[@Rogue_Speed]

Among us vr is going well I think. The main game is ehh. But the vr game is amazing. It has proximity chat, it works well on vr and they’re adding a new map to the game which is exclusive to vr and they plan to add more to it. I’ve made over 5 friends on that game along just on how fun it is.

[@cristianalbert6389]

A great idea will be to add progression system, look at FNAF pizzeria simulator. It had 2 parts (3 parts if you take into account the part where you do stuff with animatronic). We have a main part which is to survive like a normal FNAF game and a part where you see your progress. Imagine a post-apocalyptic zombie game with 3 gamemodes: -looting run: Basically open world area where you can loot and kill as you want. -dangerous loot run: You go to loot but there is a threat like the storm in Fortnite, the gas in COD warzone. And you can always call a helicopter to evacuate yourself. -battle for loot: Basically a PVP match. Then after each game you receive different types of resources based on what you did like: food, wood, metal, guns, ammo, medicine and other things. Then you use the loot on your colony: -Give weapons and ammo to colonists in case your colony gets attacked. -Use wood, metals and other things to build and upgrade buildings. -Give medicine to your hospital. -And many other stuff (depends on how long you want the progression system be)

[@JasonTodd-RedHood-GothamKnight]

Still can’t believe both Rumbleverse and Multiversus are gone/going away. They were truly both unique games and there’s so much I wanna talk about them, but I’ll just state the best parts about them, mainly Rumbleverse. The characters in Rumbleverse are uniquely aesthetic, I love the buff cartoony physique they had and they reminded me of Johnny Bravo because of the built the characters had, next the world was so beautiful, so much so, that they added life to it from small butterflies flying around to seagulls munching on protein bars in the trash cans lol, the world of Rumbleverse had so much life and the game already felt very finished as well. The characters and style of the game fit so well, but what got it killed was of course bad marketing and the main thing was the fact that people cannot appreciate new things, they didn’t give it a chance because they assumed it was a copy of you know what, the overrated battle royale game, and because of that it failed to gain attention from people. I feel that they shouldn’t have included a battle royale at all in Rumbleverse. Just hope it comes back soon and better than ever without the battle royal aspect of it because I loved that game so much and the style of characters and just miss it so much. Oh and forgot to mention the reason why I love these 2 games is because I love fist fighting games with a free-roaming style to it, specifically Rumbleverse and there isn’t any other fist fighting game I can think of that let’s you do that besides open world games like gta, saints row, mafia, etc.

Ahhh i was playing Multiverse so hard with my friend when it first released. But all the lag, ping and connection issues made the game really unplayable. Not only that but also unbalanced matchmaking was a huge issue aswell. One match you were getting 5 level noob and another one 40 level monster.
