My Brutally Honest Opinion Of XDefiant...

[@sternwardboss]

How you guys liking the game so far?

[@iKeaaaron]

Enjoying it so far, lobbies feel good, every other game you have to go a bit harder, other times it’s like shooting fish in a barrel, I grew up with cod 4 being my first, and it does feel similar to the old days. desync/ hit reg is my main issue with it but mark has said it’s high priority. I’m looking forward to seeing how it goes.

[@sternwardboss]

@@iKeaaaron Ya the Hit reg is questionable but like you said Mark is on it. I love the communication from the Devs. It’s so refreshing to have a Dev team that actually cares.

[@LegendaryBeanie]

Some games are great some I put 4 shots of a magnum in someone in the back and get 4 hit markers they turn around and pull up ez kill me and I’m looking at my 11 ping like… Well okay then. They do need to add a TDM in Kill cam and play of the game or last kill

[@marccharlier7023]

The simple thing i hate actually is the hit reg but it will be fix soon, the adrenaline is here for me just by playing the objectives and the fact there is no SBMM is just phenomenal i want to become better as F!!! just one thing, about my opinion, i think putting killstreak will be just dumb, because the main thing to do is playing objectives, having killstreak will just break the core of the game and the balance (even its not perfect), the game need to have its hown Identity and not being an other COD clone PS if you hate Phantom shield or libertad heal just play IMP grenade and its better with deadsec's passive🤫

1:55 this really is a problem that isn't talked about enough when it comes to this game. I see no point of advertising that your game has no SBMM if the only people who are playing it are ex COD sweats (which is what ive been encountering in my games).

w video bro I dont really like xdefiant as much as I tried to force myself to continue to play it but the hit detection is so bad and the game overall is basically the same way it was in the beta...

K/D ratio matters to much for a lot of ppl. in xdefient its kinda hard just to get a avg 2 k/d. and i see that as a good thing.

@@sternwardboss money talks. The whole reason they tried sbmm in the first place was to ease in a younger and less skilled player base to increase revenue.

[@justjordan2478]

My general consensus is that the game is fun, but it lacks so much identity. Granted the game is in preseason, but it feels like the only thing really going for it other than it's simplistic nature is the lack of a feature, that being SBMM. Even with the lack of SBMM as my boy stern explained, the game feels like it needs SBMM as most of the playerbase is cod players looking for a casual playing experience. I won't be too hard on the game seeing as it's free and in preseason, however I fear the game will not hold up season one, and the next cod installment will just over throw it. Trust me, I want it to succeed and provide a completely refreshing experience, but ultimately the game falls flat for me, as a person with over 20 hours in it. I just feel zero reason to play it rn.

But then you blow off the movement critics by saying anything will feel worse than COD and Titanfall, which while true doesn't explain why far cry, developed by ubisoft too, has significantly better gunplay and movement (it doesn't feel like there are 30 people on your back pulling you away when you walk forward) and the gunplay in this is just not on the level of cold war, I give it like a month and then this guy will be off the game. People can like the game and can play it for years if they enjoy it, but making up completely non-existent criticisms and ignoring actual ones will cause a games downfall, something similar i said about helldivers when people ignored all the bugs and told every to stop talking about them because they wanted content, now the games falling off.

There is possibility for almost ENDLESS content. Because all the devs have to do is pull things from games that they have already made and slap them in xDefiant. Which is exactly what the game is.

You saying they could’ve made a BR and still give everything else shows how unconsidered you are for developers you think is that easy to create new content every season and come up with an extra giant map plus content for a BR experience, that is exactly why COD is killing it self now a days, because they keep recycling old content so that they can say they got “new” content for both BR and multiplayer when they are clearly STRUGGLING to even create new content at all

[@sternwardboss]

You clearly didn’t game back in the day. Games use to have WAY more content then we have now 😂. It’s not the devs fault. It’s their publishers micromanaging every cent that goes into their games. It’s greed. They simply don’t wanna spend the money and Cod isn’t even close to killing itself. It’s literally the most popular game on the planet lol.

[@derrickzeldenrust3870]

We dont want killstreaks

[@sternwardboss]

😕

[@tireshredder4208]

I agree, killstreaks will just end up with more people camping to get as many kills as possible and not pushing obj, I think that it's quite refreshing that people are actually playing the game and not caring about camping in order to get killstreaks.

Max rank isn’t 50. I saw a guy in my lobby today he was level 90😂 not even kidding

[@sternwardboss]

Really? I heard it was 50. Maybe it’s 100

[@Frkndead1970]

XD is not like COD, its more like overwatch or lawbreakers really in its gameplay. Its the first week and all the tubers are "lovin it", but when the honeymoon phase is over and they've played it to death we'll see where the game ends up. For me, its free, its kinda fun, its somethin different to play when I'm bored of other stuff but I liked Splitgate and Rogue Company better, they are faster and more fluid to me.

[@ryanhub5783]

Have you ever played overwatch???

[@Frkndead1970]

@@ryanhub5783 of course, have you? Do you think it plays just like COD? Why? Because it has guns and its 6v6?

br would ruin this game. just like it ruined cod. warzone is a trash ass skin store disguised as a game.

No it wouldn’t. It would keep it relevant which would keep it from getting canceled. Now if the BR would take resources away from the main game than ya I definitely don’t want one

Bro ngl battle royales need to go. Play the hundreds that already exist

[@sternwardboss]

Only a couple are actually good. I new BR would be sick. This is just my opinion of course. I’m fine with this game not having a BR BTW. I love the game for what it is

[@glawio]

I’m glad you’re enjoying the game, but your negative points just don’t line up with the what the game is going for, and to be quite honest, your ideas on having a crazy sandbox mode is a bit naive and sounds like something a little kid dreams up in his spare time. This game has already been in development for quite some time and it just sounds like something annoying someone from top management in publishing would tell the devs to add just because it sounds cool without really adding much to the games core gameplay loop. Same goes for BR. I’m sick and tired of BRs and looting. Just give me a fun arena shooter without all the extra bullshit. And FUCK killstreaks. This is an OBJECTIVE based game, and killstreaks promote camping and not going for objective just so you can see your k/d go up.

[@sternwardboss]

You can still have the regular 6v6… why would adding a sandbox mode effect that? Just don’t play it. It’s simple. I don’t get that argument. Also the Sasquatch and alligators was a joke lol

[@baphomeat]

Your need to constantly have numbers going up for ranks is sad... the game should be fun regardless... I have played the same Dark Souls 3 character for 4 years... i've not leveled him up, i've improved his gear, I just PVP friends, New Game + once a or twice a year, and that's it. YOU having some wierd fixation with ranking up is actually some kind of pathy i'm sure.

no kill streaks go play cod brother i this is more OW with classes

[@sternwardboss]

I literally said I’m cool with no streaks. Just wish there was more a goal than just to kill and win. Honestly though I think streaks would be sick. They would have to be unique to the game though. I should have made it clear I don’t wanna Chopper gunner in this game. It would ruin it for sure 😂 A nuke would be sick though…

X a game that’s supposed to be different from cod should be cod smh pls no

If they don't do something soon they will just be another cod copy for allowing such weak hardware detectors to allow players to just act like they are truly good in a game they have no skills in.

Hardware detectors?

[@stevedotexe6418]

Yea lost me at Battle royal, every game with a gun doesn’t need it and the concept has gotten really played out and boring.

[@sternwardboss]

No it’s not played out lol. It’ll keep the game relevant in today’s market. I’m fine with no BR though. I love the game for what it is. It’s just a fever dream lol

[@justinlopez2665]

Kill streak don’t make a good game.

[@sternwardboss]

No they don’t and I’m fine with them not being in the game. I think something similar would be cool. Something to reward you for a kill streak. It would have to be balanced for this game though obviously

[@Meyhem33]

A BR mode....really. come on bro! Keep that crap in CoD where it belongs. All a mode like that would do is draw in cheaters. Thisbgane is a simple version of what it could be and hopefully it stays that way. If thus game explodes then every piece of shit Warzone creator is gonna come here and along with them cones millions of simps....and all the Warzone cheating drama...then thus game will end up in the toilet just like CoD. This game is fantastic and it shouldn't change a thing.

XDefiant isn’t original it’s just a carbon copy that’s why it will fail ultimately. It’s nothing unique and it’s nothing rewarding about the game or the matches. You go on streaks okay a medal what else……nothing. BORING. There is nothing to make u want to keep playing or come back and play.

[@sternwardboss]

That’s why I’m suggesting they do something more. I love the game for what it is but you’re right. In the end it’ll have a huge fall off and a small player base if they don’t add something more.
