Two more weeks until Ubisoft releases their Magnum Opus which will quickly become the highest grossest product ever made TRVST THV PLVN.

The ammo type shit was unbelievably dumb and obviously change for change's sake. Wolfenstein: Youngblood pulled the same shit but somehow managed to do it even worse by having the icons displaying the different ammo types enemies were weak to be both indistinguishable from each other and also extremely unclear.
Try to guess which of the below denotes heavy ammo and which is light, without looking at the file names.
My favourite thing about Blood Dragon was Michael Behn talking about how much fun he had voicing the main character on that project, compared to the miserable experience he had with Aliens: Colonial Marines where it was obvious nobody gave a fuck and just wanted to get the game out the door.

Left, heavy ammo. Right, light ammo. But, I agree, that was a convoluted ammo management system.Try to guess which of the below denotes heavy ammo and which is light, without looking at the file names.

BZZT, wrong. Other way round. But if it's any consolation I couldn't keep them straight in my head while I was writing that post and I already knew the answers.

Blood Dragon (and Hotline Miami) got me into synthwave and for that I'm eternally grateful.

So a while back I posted this about Shadows potentially getting beat out by Div 2:
Absolutely fucking mogged. It's also surprising to see how well Div 2 is doing on a weeknight, a week after the DLC launched.
Well I got reminded about this earlier and decided to go look and well:

Wow, forced online, MP-only game beats off-line singleplayer game in steam activity. How could this possibly be?

I wonder if Ubisoft is begging the Expedition 33 guys to come back and make a good game?

I mean to be fair it's also being outperformed by another game in the same series from 7 years ago.

Okay, so XDefiant actually shut down yesterday around 12:14 PM if that tweet is an indicator. Its website actually redirects to Ubisoft's homepage. I wonder what Mark Rubin will do now.

This shows that COD pretty much has the monopoly on slop shooters, with no serious competition. Honestly, it's for the best, at this point it's a containment game more than anything.
Shame about XDefiant, wanted to play that at some point. Hopefully there will be an effort to revive it when Ubisoft inevitably gets bought out/goes bankrupt and there is no more threat of a lawsuit.

I'm surprised you didn't play it on its last day. If anything, I partly blame the CoD playerbase for how Xdefiant turned out.

From what I've seen it was entirely the Xdefiant team's fault. They slept on a really positive beta and delayed the game's full release for so long that by the time it finally dropped CoD had filled the void Xdefiant was aiming for and nobody gave a shit.

It was mostly the dev team's fault, but it was also partially on Ubisoft. They dropped the game like a rock the moment it wasn't making them a ton of money, something they do with all the franchises that aren't immediate breakout hits(Rayman, Splinter Cell, Prince of Persia up until recently ect.)
I don't doubt the game wasn't a commercial success, but at the same time it doesn't take a lot of upkeep to pay some modelers to release new skins and pay the minimal maintenance fees for server costs. Ubisoft could have gotten passive revenue from FPS gamers, twitch streamers and disillusioned COD fans for years if they wanted to, but since XDefiant wasn't an instant success they had to shut it down. I doubt XDefiant would be dead right now if anyone else, even EA, was running things. Slow content updates and modest profits, maybe, but not outright dead. Hell, even Tencent could handle this situation better, how long was COD Online running and how successful is COD Mobile today?
If there is a lesson here, it's not that "You should never try to compete with COD". It's "Never ever work for Ubisoft".

XDef was fucking good. I hate that games just die because they can't be profitable. Future proof every fucking game, you ghouls.

Were you really going to play a bunch of offline matches with bots? Or are you asking for fan servers, because that is a totally unreasonable request.

Just allow people to host servers like with old CS and Unreal. Then every aspect of the game's balance and artistry doesn't need to be lost forever. They wouldn't get to insert a dumb FOMO marketing scheme so it's moot though. Point is you can find at least 10 people to play CoD4 vanilla still and if it was released nowadays the game wouldn't be coded that way.
