But one or two of them print money so they just have to keep pushing them out to try for that infinite well of cash!

Publishers are going to keep chasing the live-service rabbit until the industry crashes because of it.

I was about to say it's not. But checked just to be sure, and holy shit it is lmao. But it deserved to fail. Why release a looter shooter for fucking forty dollars when most people already hate live service games as they tend to be shitty? On top of the better options being completely free.

This failed the moment it was announced with a cg trailer and the only info provided that it was a hero shooter. I don't know why marketing people think they can get away with this for a brand new IP. I still haven't seen any gameplay, and I haven't cared to seek it out.

Man, I was into that trailer and then as soon as they mentioned it was a hero/looter shooter, I immediately lost all interest.

The fact that Marvel Rivals is getting all the hype and is also free really fucked them over. Whoever decided to charge for it really fucked up.

The irony is Sony managed to catch lightning in a bottle with Helldivers 2 (which was also in dev for roughly 7 years) and they squandered it. So even if they do release a hit they have no idea what to do afterwards.

What makes a game a hero shooter?

Are you shooting heros? I know 0 about this concord, and have never heard this term for a game before so I am just curious.

You have set characters with set abilities which is why it is called a hero shooter. No real customization other than cosmetics (maybe some ability changes later?). That's the gist of a hero shooter: defined characters with defined abilities in a 5v5 or 6v6 environment.

You pick characters with different abilities. TF2, Overwatch Rainbow Six Siege, Apex Legends, etc

You speak for "we" yet they continue to produce them and many do very well. Kind of weird people always want to talk for everyone but be way off base.

It is. No battle passes and no in game store, everything is included. Which is nice. But when your rivals are free then you've already handicapped yourself. Not doing anything new or different, more handicap. And having some weird Guardians of the Galaxy quippiness when everyone is quite over it, you've dug into the ground.

The Star Wars one is out now. It's meh as hell and has come and gone. Marvel Rivals is coming out in December and has generated extreme amount of hype.

Sucks that its considered handicapping yourself because in theory this is what we all should want out of this kind of game

i have no investment in this genre btw, I just think conceptually its nice someone is trying an actual buy the game, you have the full game model

Yeah, just the game itself is a very safe game in a sea of clones, so getting people to buy it when there are free and more popular options is just...bone headed. Yeah it would be best if this game did well to give companies a reason to do this more, but unfortunately that will not be the case.

Game has like 500 players right now on Steam but we'll see what happens tonight when people are home off work.

It's like the same with Suicide Squad. It was revealed and EVERYONE said uh no we don't want this. Then they doubled and tripled down and kept moving along the path while everyone was saying "no, still, this is not good and we don't want it". Then they released it, and whoa, no one wanted it! And execs are surprised and lost $100 million cause no one fucking listened.

Instead of endless hero shooters and Battle Royale's I wish I lived in a reality where everyone copied Warframe. I'm sure there'd be one good clone.

Im actually curious to see what its like to play such a supposed DOA live service shooter on opening weekend.

But its also pretty pricey for what it is.

Then again, maybe I can just be king of the tiny pond and get top 500 in a game where 500 players are playing competitive
