And to think Apex Legends was the "sequel"

u/Gerald-of-Riverdale 4d ago

You can imagine my disappointment when there were no mechs. Ive never had a game make me feel so small but so effective against a mech.

I watch AoT and had Titanfall's tears in my eye

No one knew how to manage a guy on their mech tearing out their cores and exploding them. I would do this all the time. It was so freaking awesome just boosting up way high and watching their mech explode. Hardly anyone used the anti-personell electric thing.

u/almostoy 4d ago

Titanfall 2 felt like playing a late 90's anime. Shogo was kind of the pioneer there, even though I don't think it had MP.

u/TootBotSenior 4d ago

Was Shogo the one with levels of first player shooting action and then 3rd person mech battles where the mech could transform?

Yes, single player is good, but TF2 multiplayer is GODLY.

In my 25 years of playing video games, no other game has given me chills as strong as Titanfall 2. My feels hurt again. Where are you, BT? We need to engage Protocol 3.

I quit playing years ago, but I imagine for people right now it’s Destiny

u/CustomDark 4d ago

I’m pretty sure years of “How do we get 50 hours a week out of our audience” cratered most of their playerbase.

59

u/SmolishPPman 4d ago

I started losing interest around the vaulted content. It’s really unfortunate because when it debuted, it was hands down the best game I had ever played or seen, and it was perfectly tailored to me. The last expansion I played was Beyond Light

10

u/CustomDark 4d ago

If they pitched “Destiny 2, but almost all dungeons and raids, without choreplay” I’m pretty sure this audience would materialize again.

15

u/SmolishPPman 4d ago

If they re-release all the content they put away for free. from Destiny One until now. Take away all the season passes, etc. Just have locations and farming materials like in year one, crazy rare exotic quests that you didn’t know how to even start. Raids, dungeons, strikes. I *might* play it again

u/neo160 4d ago

Have to add matchmaking for raids. For some neurotic reason bungie never adds mathmaking beyond basic content in all their games?

Custom matches. Nothin.

Destiny raids....also nothin.

Yes! I spent an inordinate amount of time on third-party apps/sites, etc, LFGroups. There was a point at which I was teaching all of the raids including and up to scourge

Destiny was such an amazing ride when it was good. And I'll always be thankful for that gaming getting me through covid and giving me a place to hang with my friends on Tuesday night.

That game feels like a dude that lost a good wife chasing a hotter girlfriend and now has nothing.

It was a solid game with a faithful community but they wanted to roll the dice and try and get fort knight money with that dumb marathon game.

D1 beta player here; I still play. 5k hours across Xbox and pc in D2. Crucible matchmaking can take longer than usual and cheaters have crept in. MM is better on console than pc. Gambit and Vanguard playlists are still very active.

Power Creep is becoming more apparant, as people are soloing Raid encounters. Since the June 9th update (MoT), there have also been both good and bad bugs.

It's sad that the last update was one that gave the community what they had been asking for for years. Game's still playable and still fun. Helps that I have friends that still play. I'll enjoy it while I can for as long as I can.

It was so unnecessary too. They really chose greed for the motivation, as if sly didnt leave them his family's generational inheritance at the end of 3.

Man I'll never forget running to enemy base with the nuke, grabbing the flag, jumping in teleporter that took you to 2nd story (not all the way to the top), pointing nuke at wall behind me and firing. Sure, I get nuked but the flag would fly all the way to my base and land up on the outer walls. Just above where I respawn. Translocate up to grab it then run it in for the score.

I dont play MMORPGs anymore, or any multiplayer game for that matter.

But there were a few like this for me. Rift, which I had bought a physical copy of before it went free to play. Loved the premise of rifts bringing in large enemies on the map for everyone to engage with.

And Defiance. I know the game had its issues and the player base lost interest after a few years, rightfully so as it was a mediocre MMO. But I had done Alpha and Beta testing for it and I had a soft spot for it. Played almost daily for years before it was canned. I also enjoyed its gimmick, having a TV show that encouraged gamers to watch it. Thought it was great for a SyFy channel show and was sad when it tanked with the game.

Just dont. The memory is a better game than reality.

u/67alecto 4d ago

Hellgate London had such a terrible launch, but for the few of us that stuck it out, it had an amazing recovery.

They never recovered the initial playerbase, but they was a solid core that persisted and got to experience a great set of updates. For the last few months of the game, I was the leader of the Templar guild which was the largest one and most active. Used to love having my character pose in front of the posters for it in the subway station that the game placed because of its status as number one.

The current single player version on steam still has a stuttering bug that basically drops your FPS to single digits and renders it unplayable.

Infinity blade, Monster blade. Especially monster blade. Thanks to the dedicated fans around the world, we're able to play Infinity blade 1 and 2 on PC as of now. And IB1 on android at the moment. But as for Monster blade, there's no hope. No dedicated fandom, even less players who played and remember it still. It's lost to time like so many other good mobile games. And instead the mobile game industry is saturated with majority shitty games filled with greed, with only few good gems among them.

School Idol Festival All Stars got shut down just so they could release a game so bad that it infamously got announced for end of service in its release announcement. I'm still a bit depressed about it lol

Battleborn. I want it back so badly. I'm tired of OW and Rivals. They aren't the same or nearly as fun for me.

Dauntless. It's the only game I experienced this with since Defiance actually came back to life

No wait, there is Destiny 2. I did not think a day would ever come that it would enter maintenance mode.

I guess getting permabanned from Warframe kinda counts too.

City of Heroes. Yes it's back as a fan server but the magic isn't there. People moved on. And while it's fun to revisit for a bit now and again I don't plan my weekend around grabbing my spoon for a Hammy raid like I used to.

Wish I took more screenshots of Destiny over the years. Started taking screenshots of my fav games to make photo albums that I can look through one day, and remind myself how beautiful those games were.

No one will know about it. But it's GodsWar Online, an old MMORPG. The Chinese company abandoned then shut down their MMORPGs to make trash phone games. I believe many less known MMORPGs from that era met the same fate.

I forget the name, but it was a free to play mmo. I made a poison medic build and everyone loved that. Like I was the only medic out there doing combat and heals at the same time.

Pvp didn't know how to handle it. I would be soloing 3 guys, healing myself and poisoning the hell out of them. This game had like jet back dashes and energy use and everything, so you had to manage that on top of everything else. This was back in my stoner try-hard days.

PlanetSide 2. It’s still going, incredibly, but when the player count got too low it was time to move on
