I cant help but feel like Rare was told to squeeze with revenue or face layoffs etc. Feels oddly reminiscent of Jeff and Overwatch….

@Myth_ Nfts are the next big thing tho

We all have a family member that we can call right now and laugh at for believing in all that metaverse bullshit around 2020

@edmundmcmillen @peepo4d Controller should be more dynamic , it feels clunky. Its just a glorified mouse in its current setting. Stuff like having, having a button combo for cycling just attacks . Or the ability to cycle just cats on the field, or cycle enemies. Or cycle just items. Etc, needs combo +QOL

@peepo4d Explain

Ok, what are your top 3 quality of life must have features you’d like to see in mewgenics ?

@teknisk8er @ModernWarzone That, and for people looking for competitiveness, they also don't like it. Not enough teams on the map.

@Fastiun @ModernWarzone Ive been hearing it not made for casuals.

First thoughts on Marathon? Don’t hold back.

@MartonMeta @ModernWarzone Your mistake is assuming casual means less skill. Fortnite is right there.

@Fastiun @ModernWarzone Arc is for the casuals. This is for skillful gameplay

@ModernWarzone wait until you get invis'd

The UI in Marathon is a mess, really no other way to describe it.

Marathon listened to streamers too much

@notcloakzy1 its gonna be more sweaty and comp, which is a bad thing for an extraction shooters healthy matchmaking imo

@notcloakzy1 Having played a bit before this, my thoughts is that it wont capture casual players and self implode. Its FINE, but its also not as remarkable as Arc was/is.

Hows marathon

Something tells me all the Arc Raiders haters gonna be real quiet in a few days, when they realize Marathon hype was mostly marketing. It wont capture casuals, and will kill itself.

@MrBeast @JonnyBlox Average between the two is usually the answer.

@JonnyBlox This is the problem with Rotten Tomatoes, it’s literally only 10 critics that gave it the 50%. The sample size is too small and why I think the popcorn score is a better metric if you’re trying to see if something is worth watching imo

Markiplier’s ‘IRON LUNG’ earns 50% critics score and 90% audience score on Rotten Tomatoes! What are your thoughts on the film? Now playing exclusively in theaters🩸

@ModernWarzone game would of benefitted heavily from a playtest 6 months ago to improve the game.

Uninstalled Highguard, unfortunately don't see myself ever spending significant time with that game.

@Myth_ ive ran into 1 with over 100 hrs (not a ton i know), and even then it could of just been some BS with shooting through geometry. Its WAY overblown.

I don't think Arc Raiders has a cheating problem Streamers deal with a disproportionate amount of cheaters because cheaters are actively trying to clip farm and get reactions from big streamers

@saltyy_savage @GoldGloveTV I think Tarkov is a more hardcore game, but not a more skilled game. Thats where and why Arena fails. Tarkovs pvp is simple and brutal, but it inherently is smaller skill gap wise. Is the game harder? yes, 10x so. But an average player beats a great one sometimes. its one shot.

@Fastiun @GoldGloveTV I’m sorry but respectfully this is an insane take to say it takes significantly more skill to be good at Arc than Tarkov and I’m not even the biggest fan of Tarkov I have a bunch of hours in both games and Tarkov clearly demands more skill in so many areas not just the PvP aspect

I think ARC Raiders is a great game. I can understand why so many people love it and I’ve had some great times playing it. But for some odd reason, in my sick twisted brain, it doesn’t do anything for me. I don’t have any desire to play it or get better at it. It doesn’t feel rewarding enough. I feel like it being so casual is the reason I feel this way. It doesn’t punish hard enough. The lows aren’t low enough and the highs aren’t high enough. I’ve realized that I’m just a sicko. It started with my obsession with Gears of War. Insane skill gap and just getting crushed by better players made me want to get better and be one of the best players. Now it’s the same feeling with Tarkov. No other games have rewarded my brain quite like those ones. I wish I could casually enjoy PVE games with friends or play more party style games but I just don’t get any satisfaction out of it anymore. I think I’m cooked.

@GoldGloveTV I cant help but be more impressed than with someones skill in Tarkov. I kinda look at it like PUBG vs Fortnite. PUBG is more hardcode but less skillful. But Fortnite is more skillful and way more casual. Its a weird mesh of that feeling for me in Arc vs Tarkov.

@GoldGloveTV I think you haven't experienced it yet then honestly. I love both games to be fair. But I see a lot of gears in this games skill gap evolving rapidly. When I see players using walls, smokes, dodge roll tech,tree skills, roll cancel sliding, and properly using shoulder swapping.

@ChilledChaos Other games do this sub tick interpolation, COD has just been doing it better now since like Black Ops 2. So I think other companies just haven't caught up.

@ChilledChaos My understanding is cod is hit scan until a meter threshold, since warzone. Also they have decades of iterating on their sub tick, player animation interpolation. Basically, client guesses where a player should be , between server ticks, and then checks during the server tick.
