I remember /v/'s pvpfags getting quite excited about this game and all the FGC folks i know who were burnt by For Honour got into it for about a week then forgot about it.

I've heard some vague stuff about relaunching it as a more pve focussed game or something but that was a while ago.

Did anyone keep up with it or is it Battleborn tier dead?

I can't imagine a single fighting game fan actually gave a shit about that obvious turd. To answer your question though, there was apparently some update that completely fucked the game and it died shortly afterwards. It isn't Lawbreakers dead, at least not yet, but it is still way lower than it was at launch.

It came out a year ago, it didn't do anything amazing or new, think the PS4 has more players at the the moment, but I stopped caring after watching full gameplay after it came out.

The trend of ultra casual online PVP games largely played by screaming children isn't killing gaming, as there isn't a single good studio working on that content. If anything, watching shitty developers desperately chase trends and fail provides far more amusement than their shitty games do.

It died because the developers broke the netcode and it still hasn't been fixed.

its bad because it doesnt control as smoothly as the latest dark souls games or for honor, it has input lag out the ass, and the singleplayer is a confusing clusterfuck

They should've removed the overly complex ability upgrade mechanic and made the game online co-op where you team up with some folks to go Jackie Chan on hordes of enemies instead of shitty PvP with a "campaign" mode full of bulletsponges. The gameplay should've also been faster and less clunky.

What's the sound clip at the start? I recognise it as some pop song that was huge, but I can only hum the tune and not remember the lyrics.

I was looking for the sample of Heavy Cross by Gossip at the start. Should have listened to the rest of the song, I'd have recognised it was Pop Culture if I went another maybe 10 seconds instead of pausing and asking.

Thanks, Anon.

People were hoping to get the bastard child of God Hand and Dark Souls, and got a game that chose to ride For Honor's bandwagon to nowhere instead.

Knock it off with this retarded argument. Just because someone says they don't care about one game doesn't mean they've stopped caring about every game.

I still play it. It's a lot of fun since the last patch.

The problem is that whenever the player count goes over 500 the servers start dying.

When you get a low ping game going it's incredibly fun, feints, parries, dodges, it's amazing.
