It’s been my experience that 100% of extraction shooters would be made better or hold on to an audience longer if they had a PvP-less mode.
These companies are told by analysts that it’s always better to have the players make the content for them.
That’s why PVP games are always free-to-play and co-op games “require” each player to buy their own copy (so now you have to do the companies’ dirty work for them by convincing your friends to spend money.) It’s all fucked, and it’s all about following the money.
It’s the Toyota Camry of extraction shooters.
Ooof
I’d encourage folks to watch some gameplay videos on this instead of just reading this article. Every one I’ve watched showed gameplay that looked like lot of fun and the folks playing had a much different opinion than this. Looks a lot more interesting than Marathon at the very least.
Its right up there with Marathon in the in “And the crowd goes mild” bin
lol, it’s Jared Petty… I’ve not seen a single positive preview or review from him since he started doing IGN articles. No hate to the guy, I liked when he did Kindafunny content back in the day, seems like a genuinely nice dude… but… this doesn’t seem like a game he’d like (he’s more of a retro games and RPG kind of guy). Also IGN has plummeted in my expectations with a lot of the drama as of late (people quitting and corporate ownership). I played a few rounds this morning, loving it so far, but I’ve also been pumped for this game for a long time! So I’m definitely biased and I’ve also not played enough to say it’s AMAZING! But I have watched multiple people play (JackFrags and OperatorDrewski were both great) and I’d suggest you watch those instead of taking an IGN article from this dude as your final opinion.
