This is the 4th video in this series, so if a game that you wanted me to discuss isn't here, it's probably in one of the previous videos: • EVEN MORE DEAD GAMES: ...

[@zerkker6096]

I agree that it needs a mode or two that’s a bit more casual and less teamwork heavy, to attract some more casual players as well as give more consistent players a break from the quite stressful and team heavy core game modes. The game modes that exist are really fun with friends but horrible sometimes when just playing with randoms

I don't think Battlebit will ever truly die, it's just not really a "primary" game. It's designed to be one of those games you pick up every once in a while, blow stuff up and then come back when you feel like it.

I’ve never played tarkov but the unique part about the cycle that I couldn’t stop talking about was just the open interactions when you approached other players - I’ve never played anything that felt almost like you were participating in a psych experiment when it came to how you should approach teamwork and just that thrill alone kept the game fresh every time I tried to get into it- if cycle has to die then I wish other battle royals would at least steal that idea

[@JakeIsBetter5535]

Do guys think Helldivers 2 will have good staying power? For me, I’ve put 90 hours on the game, haven’t hit level 50 yet. It isn’t because it’s bad, but because it is inconvenient and time consuming. Super credits seem to be rarer (if anyone has any idea what level spawns the most, I would love that. I can’t find any info on it anywhere) so getting new stuff takes at least 15 hours for 600~. Also, between school, studying for finals, work, excercise, and having time with family, Helldivers long run missions are inconvenient. Having shorter games modes that are just survival modes that give you super credits instead of samples, XP, or medals would be a way to retain the people with little time to grind. I would put down another 200 hours if the game had this retention and convenience.

[@jacquesdusan1500]

I picked up the cycle when it was just at its beginning. It was originally a battle royal type game with in-game events and relied on completing objectives to get money and buy better guns from a shop that you could access at any time. This (In my opinion) was the better version of the cycle as it gave a breath of fresh air to the genre with most interactions happening between players and the environment. It might also have been the community as when meeting most players people would team up with the proximity chat. It is important to mention a thriving ranked system with multiple guides and updates throughout its roughly 2-3 year(maybe less idk) existence. Then when it got revamped into a Tarcov-like extraction-based shooter it still had that same whimsical appeal but with higher stakes. This made it interesting and fun with continuous updates throughout its shorter life of just over a year. The problem I found was obv the hackers, servers and whatnot but also the grind and scaring of new players as the community had seemed to lose that friendliness as seen in the game before. Just to add that friendliness was still there because every time I was killed, I would always hear over mic "Sorry dude it's for a mission" at least we got an explanation.

[@justarcheo]

I've been involved with the cycle since the alpha of the very first version back in 2019, and I was really sad to see the game go. While you mentioned one of the main reasons, cheaters were more of a thing that started a very unfortunate series of events. Basically, development got slowed down to get as many people working on the cheater problem as possible. They fixed it well mind you, got a new anticheat, implemented gear refunds (you will get back items that you lost to cheaters) and season 2 was (from my experience) almost without cheaters, and even if you met any, you'd get your stuff back. Sadly, because most people were working on the cheater problem, other aspects of the game got left with less attention. Things weren't developed properly, implemented with patchwork solutions. Basically, Yager built up something called technical debt. Imagine you're trying to build a house, but while building the foundation, you run out of workers and have to make do with ducttape. It kind of holds together, but anything you build on top will be unstable. The Cycle was built with spaghetti code held together by "abstract ducttape" and any new additions they wanted to make were slowed down by a faulty game foundation. On top of that, add drama within the community that led to Yager communicating less and less and the final nail in the coffin, which, ironically enough, turned out to be Roblox. Roblox bought Hyperion, the anti-cheay Yager was working with, and with that, the cheaters returned late in season 3. It was really sad to see the game go. I've had the pleasure of playtesting stuff, sitting inside voice calls with the devs and talking about the game, their vision and sharing ideas/feedback. There really was a passion and a lot of talented people behind that project. It was really sad to see it go, and I hope their next game will share the cycles amazing art and atmosphere. Anyways, I gotta finish writing this so I can continue watching the video. Haaave fun!

[@SnesySnas]

Hi! I am a BIG fan of the game's first version when it was mostly focused on completing missions instead of being loot in general Which version of the game did you prefer? Like I mentioned, the first version of the game felt best for me as it didn't have the large consequence of losing everything like in most extract shooters, but while having a similar vibe

[@justarcheo]

@SnesySnas I liked both honestly. The first one was amazing because of the on-the-fly thinking and strategies. Sure the gameplay wasn't as intuitive as most games but once it began to click, it was amazing. But I have to admit that the first game didn't have the atmosphere or the mystery of the second one. The locations themselves didn't really play a big role apart from the evacs, and buildings or interiors were basically non existed. The frontier version did so much for the world. Frontier also created a lot of stories. There's a lot of crazy runs where I've met other people and something weird happened that I'll remember for a long time. Those things weren't as impactful in the old version. Oh and also, I think the frontier version had much more potential in terms of updates. There was only so much you could add to the old game, because it had an existing gameplay loop. The second one had way more freedom to experiment (like they did with the forge). It's a shame that thr freedom they had with Frontier never got used, because some of the ideas they had for the future were really great. Also, I'm ranting again, sorry for the long messages but it's been 6 months since someone mentioned thr cycle again :)

Hey Macro if you ever make a video about games coming back a good one to include would be cyberpunk 2077 as that game has finally been fixed and it’s a a lot of fun to play or even make a for noobs on it again.

Macro! will you cover the HUGE battlebit update when it comes out its gonna be insane and i just don't feel its geting the hype that it need

[@Trex12x]

This video series is better than the Super Bowl

I have watched one of your videos in so long. Love the vids be watching form over makes no sense

[@Coleman2017]

Gigantic looks fun so I hope it has a successful come back

6:49 I came back to this game around when season 5 came out only to see 343 stop doing seasons entirely or produce any new content that isn’t a shop update months later. Frankly its funny and heartbreaking to see that this game died twice

Ark survival, the whole franchise needs a mention or a whole video about its downfall, the devs constant lies, the delays, the abandonment of the original game for a rushed remaster that no one plays, it's crazy how something that was consistently in the top 10-15 steam games got shot in the foot by its own devs and no one talks about it.

I played star field on gamepass and I loved it, I beat it and completed most of the large side quests that were very fun. After that I stoped playing, it’s more of a fallout in space but it was announced as a no man’s sky.

I played a ton of The Cycle : Frontier and from a constant players perspective the beginning of the downfall was that (if you were good enough) you could just kill players who had endgame weapons and gear with "uncommon" SMGs so a lot of the player base quit with this low risk high reward strategy Era that many people used. After that it just ended with the cheater incident due to the game having this problem of a low player base so the cheaters would use it as a playground with no backlash, but when that backlash came the game was already dead + It being a free to play with in-game purchases was its main downfall from the start as a Extraction-Shooter. There was also the incident between the youtuber Tickle Me Pink and the developers of the game.

i really hope more people give gigantic a try, its really fun. hopefully a big streamer gives it a shot and likes it or something

One of the main problems with Apex legends was that they always had events you didnt wanna miss out on. the game was overwhelming, you always felt like you might miss out on something for taking a break

[@swellow28]

I bought Starfield, beat it, and replayed it over 5 times. I love the genre, gameplay, and space travel, which you don't get enough of in gaming.

[@eliomancinelli4918]

I wish Macro looked at Battle Bit player count while it was in early access and then recognized that when it launched it had a huge surprise player BASE jump but then returned to near it’s normal levels after the launch hype wore off. It’s definitely not dead or dying

[@icekingg7478]

RIP shatter, used to be so fun. Sad to see poor decisions lead to its downfall

[@thehamburglar2420]

Every year we get closer and closer to Apex Legends being in the video

Do you have any tips on keeping a game alive? I haven't even started my game, but I'm now kind of paranoid about it... Is it just regular content updates? But then, why did Multiversus's player numbers kept going down.
