Great core gameplay, multiple boring or just bad patches; devs who care more about their imaginary milsim being close to their imaginary reality than about player fun; slow content rollout (still no new race despite them being leaked many months ago)

In the end I had my fair share of fun but I see no real reason to come back.

Not to criticize something people enjoy but I bought it and hated the hell out of it. I genuinely consider even its temporary popularity a sign of the decline of shooter gaming as a whole (that or I'm just bored of the genre after playing entirely too much Destiny)

I also learned that the PS Store doesn't let you do returns anymore, even if you've only played about twenty minutes, so fuck off forever Sony, I guess.

Point is, I wonder how many of these players were actually that active in the first place? I bought it because it was basically going viral, and simply could not return it, unlike Palworld.

If they want new players they should put it on xbox.

Do you think those four people make a noticeable difference?

I'll play again at some point but for now, Iceborne.

The Elden Lord needs to kill some more dragons.

Maybe this will get lost as Just Another Comment but...

I feel like subscription services should actually serve as a true platform for those kinds of games. Something like joining a party playing Game X, and while you play your round(s), Game Y, or a slice of Game Y is downloading. When you finish your round of Game X you get switched to Game Y and it goes on and on, with some kind of voting on the next game.

There is a whole infrastructure dedicated for this required, and nevermind the multiplatform issues.

It just feels like the interactive nature of gaming would deliver one the one issue of streaming services where "there's nothing to watch". The cynic in me sees this as just another place to cram ads.

Happens with all unestablished games
