Japanese zoomer who grew up playing Fortnite and Valorant quit to try out fighting games for the first time with Street Fighter 6 is now a million dollar world champion in his debut season playing. a compelling story that would have been great for everyone to watch don't you think Capcom you donkies
call of duty news
I feel like you and every other writer on this website focused more on the chuds and GAMERS than the ‘real’ reasons this thing failed and that presenting the coverage in this way is doing a disservice. to be fair theres also actually big streamers that agree with your pov (who are also wrong)
No real person wants people to lose their jobs. But we’re not throwing a pity party about it either like it was an unavoidable injustice
just sent a bluesky invite to ian miles cheong. looks like he has a lot of fans on here. you guys can thank me later
Nathan we’re cool and I like to use this website to rabble rouse so I want you to know the way you write about this game is dumb. There’s a whole group of people (me) who aren’t sloptube culture war guys that have declared this shit DOA and we were all right (obviously). Not shedding any tears here
I'd almost have more respect if people just treated every pitch like Ashes of Creation and worked on pyramid scheme scams designed as games for years until the wheels come off
Also can I just be real and say that the people who get hyper defensive when you make fun of a game for failing are weird? Like yeah man people losing their job fucking sucks, but every single person who looked at Highguard could see it from space that it was doomed get over yourself.
I'm doing a talk at GDC this year titled What Are You Doing No One Wants This Shit. It's 30 seconds long and guarantees to save the jobs of all game developers in attendance
due to recent events the organizers of the esports world cup in saudi arabia have put out a new statement to comfort those concerned stating all gamers will be sacrificed on the frontlines as equals no matter their nationality
24 hour cable news and social media? old news. I get all my information from kick streamers, polymarket insiders, 4chan, and pentagon pizza trackers
I'm at a 96% crit rate
gunplay seems great too. dunno if it'll be enough tho
I checked out vholume when they first announced it and it looks cool but I still haven't seen a single fps movement game that has ever matched the depth, skill, or creativity that Quake 3 Defrag (vq3+cpm) has been doing for 20+ years now www.youtube.com/watch?v=cCO9...
early average impressions of Marathon from seasoned extraction players and fps pros/streamers I've spoken to: it's aight. take that as you will
you're giving them too much credit it was obviously intentional but i agree just leave it
Bungie censored the term Arc Raiders in Marathon game chat, got clipped, silently reversed it, and are posturing publicly on social media that it didn't really happen to begin with. good start
actually since then he's been going crazy, he's on the best team in the world which is a dynasty and if they keep it up will become the greatest counterstrike team of all time. sometimes you gotta go 0 and out
here in the west we've got "james bond" which is 0-0-7 and tariks law+zonics law for scorelines but the chinese have taken it to another level
specifically for today im blaming @milesklee.bsky.social this is on you
Lol went to check out who this is. Too many snowflakes in video games smh
well we had one kinda good website and now we have two that suck

nonbelievers have been declaring the death of pc gaming endless times since the first xbox released 25 years ago but it was obvious to anyone who played on a pc back then it would always remain the primary way people engage with games, predominantly as the superior way to shoot someone
nailed it
if your multiplayer game has a peak of like 100k players its fucked. its dead. give up now. if it has a peak of 100 players and isnt out of early access and most of the updates are from a community mod because no one knows what the devs are doing: it will live forever
the framing of highguard's failure on this website is so funny. need more woke leftist critics to declare games DOA so we can ignore 90% of unnecessary unrelated discourse on bluesky. a more sustainable gaming approach is to not spend 5 years making a multiplayer shooter it in the first place
ATTN: If you're an executive for one of these major game studios or the six dozen offshoot startups creating a new uninspired multiplayer game you are welcome to pay me to come in and tell you to stop making it because no one wants this shit, saving you millions of dollars. email in bio
