Rowby's officially lost his mind by going to this part of the gaming industry.

[@rabbidguarddog]

I have an idea, let's get really long poking sticks and poke him outta the bad neighborhood of the gaming industry...ya ya?

[@Iron_Scott]

Its okay he hasn’t made a for honor video yet. There is still hope

[@aliasfakename8345]

@@rabbidguarddog no no We tried that

[@SushiReversed]

Yeah, he nailed it in the ending bit about time feeling wasted. Just about every player that puts any significant amount of time into Siege burns out, and most never come back. I remember being excited to get on this game for 7-8 hours a day over the pandemic, and no matter how I try, I can't find that enthusiasm for Siege anymore. Something killed it for me, and I can't quite figure out what.

[@speedyazi5029]

I took a break for 1 year and came back and got back into it. It’s a lot better, more balanced but damn I miss the chaos.

[@Yilmaister]

I quit for a season solely because of other players, that might be it. I'm back on track though, dabble in other games and keep sessions short, best siege experience ever

[@nyxfred]

Probably bc you didn’t have anything or anyone to drive you to play the game. I played siege for 7-8 years now and I can take breaks from it but nothing can come close to what siege is. It’s just that burning competitiveness that makes me come back. I’d say improvement is a good motivation to keep on playing the game, but for some siege is just not enjoyable which is fine.

[@tmoney1487]

Ubisoft being a brain dead company, the community being roxic and unchanging, and the game's overall playabiliy.

[@sauce0rii]

…Idk the recent nerfs and changes to certain characters really killed it for me.

[@mrchenz1371]

Kapkans my favorite. Dying every time is pretty rough, but getting the satisfaction of a post life trap kill is just perfect

[@reelgesh51]

Stacking all my traps on like 2 random doors just across the map and getting a kill is to funnny especially when the person who dies instantly types "why TF do you have at rap there" It may only work like 2 /100 times but it is too good :D

[@alessandrodelo5347]

Played the game from dust line to void edge with varying number of friends. I'll never forget those memories. Good to know others don't either, even if it is in the form of an accurately scathing rant. also, para bellum was peak

[@AZHYMOVS]

I don't dare go near Siege these days, but I have fond memories of it around 2017/2018 where I'd play every night with my friends bouncing between high hold to high plat. The game lost a lot of what made it special. I liked it a lot originally because it felt very grounded and realistic compared to lots of fps games I'd played before. When my interest started to fall off it was just post Operation Health with I think the addition of Ela? The game lost a lot of its charm I think and kind of lost what made it fun to begin with. In some ways it got overcomplicated and the newer characters and abilities often felt tiresome to face? I dunno how to word it really. I also personally lost a lot of interest because I was getting too competitively invested and it was frustrating me more than I was enjoying it. I've reivisited it a few times over the years but it's never really captured me like it did back then.

[@MemerGottem]

[@ambiti0ustyr4nt]

omg never thought I'd see you here

[@polboy787]

high gold*

[@speedyazi5029]

You summed up this video. I’m still into this game since it’s Beta and I’m still in love with the tactical creative nature of the game, especially with the team play (if you have good friends and cooperative people). It’s incredibly sweaty and hard to get into which is why wish they had more casual modes or more emphasis on gadget play and destruction instead of all-aim sweat brain. When you get someone into the game, they stay but if they leave it’s hard to get them back in. And the gun commentary is so accurate. I wish it were more focus on character traits and abilities but guns have so much priority, especially with the one shot head shot mechanic which can be cheesed by high fire rates. Map Ban and Pick Ban critique is perfect as well, quick match is way more enjoyable because of this and it’s why Content Creators focussed on Casual play (BikiniBodhi and Evan Braddock) make Siege more fun. Also, the only good operators we’ve gotten this year was Azami and Solis - unique gadgets that actually shake things up. But you’re final comment hit me hard. The only thing to grind for is Rank and getting better, there’s no proper skin progression or Operator mastering to show off or to work towards. It’s a good game and probably Ubisoft’s last original and innovative one. I still hope they continue to keep working on it. If they make a Siege 2, please don’t burn it out like this game once did. If you’re a new player or are curious to return please come back with their friends. You can learn better and avoid more toxicity.

[@ryandakin5430]

Ubisoft's balancing is what kills seige for me. Its utterly depressing when I get hyped to read all of the new changes in the patch notes just to see 2 small changes to operators I don't play and nothing else.

[@redtheyiffer]

To me it was how they balanced the fun out of the game because a big baby on a tournament cried about it. For example the withstand option on that one operator and they were supposed to give it to Tachanka. They also removed a lot of other passive things that made characters unique and more interesting to overly sanitize the fun out of the game.

[@scorpx3790]

@@redtheyiffer yeah the old Siege was awesome cause of how fun it was. Now its way too competitive. My hopes were that at least the event gamemodes would make up for it but the players and the gamemodes themselves make even those competitive like how tf we came down to this

[@ryandakin5430]

@Redtheyiffer Yiff Compilations I mainly hate the recoil changes and how it's mainly how they balance operators. The worst recoil change was for the p10 roni imho.

[@SGEnjoyer]

@@ryandakin5430 not to mention the clip size change on it. I used to use it on Mozzie, can't be bothered since the commando can still take more than one gunfight without reloading

[@Dysmorphan]

Your words and jokes are so wonderfully woven, even though I do not play this game I still enjoy how you'll tie each punchline into the next.

[@VeryHungryEggshelleater]

Rowby should make the jerks guide to recruit (Bulletproof cam plus c4 makes a little trolling)

[@Gaden6893]

"I don't need to cite anything except the snail in my brain" Brilliant, I'll be stealing this thank you

[@TrilainaBloodwind]

For me, I still love and play Siege. I don't ever sit down and play it to the point of burn out, though, so that might be the difference for me. I love the characters, I love the tight gameplay, I love how there's no other competitive tactical game like it on the market thar incorporates ALL the elements Siege does. It's one of my favorite games. Does it have problems? Absolutely. But I still love it.

[@hallukaksi]

No way I just started playing rainbow six siege after a huge break and now you release this.

[@foulbeans9693]

Alright so Dead by Daylight, Rainbow 6 Siege, and possibly a For Honor video. The unholy trinity of Murphy's law. If Rowby has experience with For Honor as well, I won't know who I should feel sorry for.

Like most competitive games Siege is infested by people who flip their shit the moment you make even the tiniest mistake.

[@Vernafveik]

17:52 Another Ubisoft game, For Honor, is exactly this. The game came out, got a year of content, went on life support, and when they noticed it wasn't dead they came back, gave us 2 years of decent content, and when they noticed it was alive and making money, shot the game in the foot before suddenly shifting focus on an eSport nobody asked for nor cares about, and monetization, likely because it brings in more investors. Now instead of getting a new hero who brought something new to the table or a new map, we get the same toolset on a differently named guy and Harbor but [Insert theme here]

Pass, overprize special skin what dont event look good and new charakter what are...not usles but not good. still love this game.

[@VeryHungryEggshelleater]

5:10 there is a setting that allows you to keep using your drone after drone phase finishes

[@ghpst5219]

Siege as a game was fun and made sense to a degree when it came to how the reworks were (Minus house rework, bring that shit back). Now because of ranked 2.0 you are facing diamond players in copper 5 and all of the reworks to come out on solar raid were unnecessary(Removed SMG-11 on sledge and making him and mute a 1 speed, Making echo a 2 speed for no reason, etc) making it so the game is less fun and a lot more bullshit.

[@doktorsljukex4174]

Ranked 2.0 has a hidden mmr system, the rank is just an astethic. If u were gold last 5 seasons, you will play against golds in ranked 2.0 doesnt matter if theyre dia or copper. Sledge was too powerful with the smg 11. The speed changes are to slow down the gameplay and echo was buffed so he can use drones more actively and flexibly. There is a reason to everything

[@poppedcorn2314]

That zero pic uncalled for

[@gato_capitalista]

About the drone, if you change it in the settings, you won't get kicked out

[@bronzeanon985]

I will come out and say that while yes, its a pretty toxic community in an environment that keeps disappointing but jumping in a ranked match and start trolling (rushing with amaru directly in the objective) whenever you feel you're outmatched by the opponents... and then actually winning is a pretty unique feeling. And also, siege is one of the few multiplayer games I've played (on console) that couldn't care less about your level. It all boils down to skill (not counting clash) I'm a decent 205 level player and i can be easily taken out by a 20 level if I'm not paying attention so you always have to find new strats. Such a beautiful mess.

[@rogiok7400]

That ending about the rainbow was smooth Great video

It's been almost a year or more since they introduced the option to not get out of the drone after droning phase.

[@jcdenton4534]

I just really enjoyed the original tactical aspect white still having the choice of saying "I'm going to do some wild shit". Now the devices just kinda feel TOO unrealistic. I enjoyed the "bonk a mf with big hammer" moments and now we have funny smoke disc. Just a personal opinion, but Siege is a game that simply doesn't work when you slap too much shit on it.

[@kkoffie446]

Look at that, my fav DBD creator also plays siege like me. 500 hrs myself and havent played for a year, and I agree with everything you said. My fondest memories are that of me withstanding with zofia and clutching or stacking lesion traps but Ubi just doesn't want that in their game for some reason.

This season of siege is more fun than the last year of siege for me. I can actually play with my dogshit friends and have fun playing instead of needing 3 accounts to actually be able to play ranked and win and be able to play with my friends that are in drastically different skill levels. I quit for a few months because my ranked stack got toxic and ranked is the gamemode that has any level of fun to it but now I can play ranked with my friends and our ranks dont block it. I can literally go sell my smurf accounts now and recoup some of that money too.

Rainbow and For Honor are parallel games, I played Rainbow first but For Honor is the one that they used as a guinea pig for the slowdown of Rainbow, I got to watch it happen in real time for both and its not really a good feeling watching 2 things you used to really enjoy get worse.

[@MoneyBadger31]

as i’m always telling friends, this game is the digital equivalent of a heroine addiction. the first couple times you partake, your mind opens up to all the new feelings and possibilities and you’re immediately hooked. then, after the first couple times, reality starts seeping in and you realize it’s not fun anymore, so you chase more. this is the dangerous part, because then you realize this game is legitimate cock and ball torture and it’s only fun if you’re getting something out of it, so you begin playing ranked. every match you play falls into either the “my teammates are less competent than a sped with dyslexia”, or the “i wield the power of a god and i’m going to abuse it in every way imaginable”, and the latter is why this game sucks. it’s a cycle everyone ends up in, making everything suck a lot more and the game eats at your soul. if you’re somehow unfamiliar to this game and thinking about trying it, listen when i say to stay 500 ft away from it at all times like it’s a preschool and you’re on a list. and for the love of christ, do NOT buy anything

R6S has a very similar problem to For Honor (either then both being maintained by ubisoft) They both focus on the competetive balance wich in itself isnt that bad but the way they do it is by standardizing the roster and yes this is the simplest way to balance a game but it also sucks the identity of characters and makes the game into a sort of "mid-max" meta Why wouldnt that roamer also have a soft wall breach/Why wouldn't that hybrid character also have a dodge attack and so on Say the roamers were differentiated by the way they would aproach a point (sneak around and suddenly join the fight via a random wall) while the other was more about setting up the perfect situation with pre-set traps. The second one now has the ability to also jumpscare enemies with very few diffferences from the first but they also have traps. Same thing happend with for honor every character is functionally the same speed but george the nordic raccoon wildman can take a hit and still attack wich before it was balanced by him being ever so slightly slower then anime katana man The dev team for FH (despite being a skeleton crew at best right now) has been ironicly getting better at this trough indirect forms of uniqueness (the way damage is done ,animation , general look and key mechanics) for example said anime man and george can both do something called a deflect while both being roughly the same in mechanics (and being better or worse in certain match-ups) they both act in certain ways that give you a different feeling, while george can manhandle you, the anime man shows your liver the way out of your body the R6S devs dont have the luxury for this due to competitive balancing requiring everyone to be the same in everyway physicly and roughly the same animation wise making everycharacters ability he only factor in diffferentiating them for new players For example Tachanka for me was "the guy who can become a portal 2 sentry" when i started (ik he got a rework but molotov guy is boring) while in FH when you get hit by mister incredible you remember he not only came up to you he then punched you in the jaw while screaming latin at you (some new characters do it well while some do it worse and some are recycled content but cool) Thanks for reading my stupid rant. give yourself a pat on the back from not having a stroke from my awful punctuation.

[@gaslightingGod]

How you describe operators worth through their guns and scopes doesn’t sit right with me. An operators gadget will always come first because of the one shot headshot. Even if you give a meta op like Azami a m12 she would still see play in pro league, additional hibana getting a nerf to the type 89 wouldn’t effect her pick rate in pro league either. When watching this video I know your new but operators can’t be classified by gun because everyone can die in one random shot. Additionally I can see this video being received well by casual players who still think lord tachanka is the height of siege but at the end of the day it doesn’t really matter because the game is dying. However until the servers shut down I’ll always come back because it’s the only game out, that is itself

Not gonna harp on this too much, am random viewer, probably not gonna stick around but hey good production value keep it up. While it's fresh in my mind though, I'm gonna be honest I will never stop being upset at people saying Terrorist Hunt is "decent". Not gonna drop 9 pages why, I hate to say it, I'd love to but I'm not going to. It's just that in a nutshell, it's had more of it's "content" removed as the years has gone by and it's even gotten so buggy that you don't notice them _unless you have at least one other player with you_ . "Fun" fact, since operation Grim Sky, every other season the terrorists break and become dead silent when firing their weapons and that tied with no healing mechanics other than Doc and Finka and even then both are limited, have turned the mode basically unplayable in Co-Op. And the worst part is if you play solo *it's literally undetectable* because the Terrorist ONLY THEN work fine. I actually pretty much have seen just how far Terrorist Hunt can fall over the years enough to say it once was what I like playing in Siege more than even the multiplayer and it only ever got worse when there was a real chance of a pretty fun game mode and potentially an even more fun Co-Op 5 player Squad Campaign if they were willing to put literally any effort into one.
