Transform it by making....a multiplayer live service game? I don't know about that. I think I'll stick with gloomwood, dread delusion and crt alt ego.

As someone who just has no interest whatsoever in competitive multiplayer games (even 'passive' competitive, like this sounds to be), or live service titles, I feel completely left behind by AAA developers. It's a good thing the indie scene is so vibrant, or I'd just have to find a new hobby at this point.

Exactly. It's also part of why I'm a patient gamer. If a game has a good single player experience, someone will still recommend it after the MP hype dies down. I'm here for story and gameplay, not competition and the meta.

My only concession here is TCGs, and I only play draft events. And even those are getting ruined by people developing the meta with pre-release info.

For real. I hardly ever pay attention to AAA stuff at this point. Indie gaming has been good eating for a while now and only seems to be getting better.

I was quite intrigued by the article and thinking I'd put this on my wishlist, until I saw "multiplayer", and suddenly all my interest is down the drain.

It feels like some developers are making live service games simply to chase the revenue stream, not because the specific game they are making would actually be better online.

Exactly. Some games are good fits for multiplayer, like Rocket League. And even then, I still like playing offline local MP with bots.

I really wished the bots were better tho. They don't even fly and barely use the walls. Like, you can't even really practice on them once you actually get decent because they aren't even good enough to play the game at a bronze level.

[–] sugar_in_your_tea 1 points 3 days ago* (last edited 3 days ago)

Yeah, but they're good enough for 1v1 or 2v2 with some noise on each side (e.g. 4v4 with bots).
