#DOAG . Death of a Game is a series dedicated to uncovering the mysteries surrounding the death of a game or company. nerdSlayer defines the term “death” in the context of the show as either… 1. Literally dead. 2. Had a mass exodus of players and never recovered (expectations etc). 3. The company ceased to exist. We follow a timeline of events, to uncover clues concerning why a game or company doesn’t do well, and attempt to put it all together at the end for a deduction explaining how or why the game failed based on the evidence gathered.

  2. Dude oh my god I am so glad you're doing Fusionfall!!! I played that game for many many years, and even played Retro as it shut down. One of my favorite mmorpgs of all time.

  3. I bought the game and could not get into it. I remember 2 things I didn't like.

    1. I could not get into 3rd person for a shooter.
    2. The extra long, unskipable, opening title screen. (You can skip it IF you mess with the game files)

  4. "Not a live service" who are they kidding. It was clearly based off of Mass Effect 3's multiplayer which was (a very light) Live Service.
    Lying to themselves only hurt them.
    Population wise: if its a single player game, and people beat the campaign, and they don't return years later (like most SP players), then it isn't a failure. Unless you expect to sell endless DLC and microtransactions.

  5. from the beginning, even though a lot of people liked it, i knew that it would fail. It just felt way too rough, it seemed more like a game made to kill destiny than an actual passionate game. It was way too bland and generic. I would've preferred if they made interesting games rather than just try to capitalize on trends/success of other games

  6. Game is actually good i finished it alone like two months ago.the writing and story is good also and the production is nice. Gameplay is fantastic as well you dont find 3d person shooters this good easily. its a same cause the ip has so much potential for real.

  7. Admittedly, I only played the Demo, but during that Gameplay I found the Story to be boring, the Dialogues moronic, the Characters stupid.
    The Gameplay itself was okay, nothing I would write home about, but certainly not awful.
    But at the end of the day the story really rubbed me the wrong way, you are brought back to the world and blamed for everything?

    I would love a game where you can choose the side you want to be on, when they blamed you for things you certainly can't do anything about after they forgot you in a cryo pod, I really felt like" Ye, you know what, screw you then", most people I talked to confirmed that sentiment.

  8. What a shame! I really liked Bulletstorm and was excited to see what they could do with more experience.

    But I've also played the Outriders demo, and it felt like a live service game like destiny. But without the tight controls.

  9. The only thing that kept me playing was the story.. and then that damn plot twist in the end.. that ruined it. Felt like I had wasted the entire journey there, to find out the mystery behind the signal.

  10. Used to play it a while back. Got to lvl 30, played while listening to YouTube, was proper fun. Decided to play a bit with my friend literally today & it’s really fun. Enjoy it for what it is

  11. Outriders was weird.
    I only played the demo, but anytime I spoke about the game, it would be 20 minutes on what that game did well, followed by saying that it didn't grab me and I wasn't going to follow up on it. It seemed like a decent game, it just wasn't for me.
