I hate battle royale games. Every time I play them i get anxious and nervous, I cant take it anymore
I have played Apex Legends since it came out and I have about 900h between both steam and origin (mostly played during covid).
Since I stopped playing this rage games I feel much better
Tell me what you think of battle royale games in the comments if you want
I think BRs are fine, I’m just glad that the market has moved away from the BR mania that it was once in. BRs intrinsically need a large player base to succeed and it was exhausting hearing about this “sick new BR” only for it to shut down 6-8 months later
I am curious to see if the BR trend now repeats itself with the extraction genre. I think COD and Battlefield already adapted the mode but I do not know how that went and whether they are still going, but now the first wave of larger standalone “Tarkov-likes” is coming in so maybe there is a new hype forming.
I think extraction shooters are going to be the new “thing” for the future. I enjoyed my time with Tarkov but it was just a tad too hardcore for me. I’m excited to see what Bungie does with the genre when Marathon comes out
I can understand that, but for me at least the genre does not really work when it is not “Hardcore” enough. What I mean by that is that I played The Cycle and the game is just not deep enough to justify the effort you need to put in for the extraction loop to work. Games like Dark&Darker would just not work if they were not as finicky and lethal. But I am also very curious what marathon will turn out to be. I was already thinking about playing the old marathon games because the lore seems very cool, but until now they just seemed to old for that.
What games are you talking about?
Only ones I can think of would be firestorm and that shitty Ubisoft one, but I don’t think those had that much hype tbh
Realm Royale, Battlerite Royale, Ring of Elysium, Islands of Nyne, there’s been a ton that have launched and either lost critical mass or been shut down.
Really enjoyed RoE
I’ve played it a bit this year. It’s still decent, but just a bucketload of bots, and some new performance issues like ultra-slow-loading and massive pop-in when you initially load into the map (gameplay impacting).
Spellbreak, Realm Royale (although it looks like that one got revived), that one BR that was game show themed, there’s plenty more that came and went that i just don’t remember the name of
