Fallout NV
>inb4 zoomers tell me it was good at launch
You couldn't even exit Goodsprings until the 3rd hotfix.

No one plays comp in game brainlet

What is fortnite Alex

>in game
>he doesn't know

it couldn't be NV because that game still isn't good
he's probably talking about shadow of chernobyl

I knew it was coming, but it still hurts.

>one of the games main draws is its massive battles with cool space graphics
>night battles look beautiful, hundreds of soldiers and tanks fighting over a scrap of land with PhysX and really cool lighting/lens flares, etc. It's well done and looks awesome
>game devs pander to shitty PC's and remove cool space graphics over time
>game gets re-released on console and battle sizes get reduced because having the same version running on console and PC reduces redundancies, graphics are cut down even further
>adds building that barely anyone cares about or uses, and as a result needs to reduce graphics even more, even going as far as reducing animation framerate to cut down on memory use
>people stop playing game because it looks like ass, runs like ass, and is bloated with third worlders on laptops who do nothing but complain about framerate and base building
>population caps get introduced to prevent a flood of people joining a certain area and creating a battle that lags the servers, which because of recently introduced bad netcode cannot handle more than 80~ players in a single area
>game gets new owners who turn it into microtransaction hell and use a chinese e-currency service that regularly flags bank accounts and causes trouble
>game now is P2W, looks like shit, and has population caps, eliminating any chance of past glory ever happening again
>game gets new owners again who make actual new content and communicate with community and release largest update in years
>refuse to re-integrate old graphics and instead work on other shit when nowadays anyone with a half decent computer could run old graphics with no issue
>blame it on not understanding shaders and ini edits to the main engine
>game gains back thousands of new players who never knew just how good looking and fun it used to be

>99% games are played in the single player
>devs balance it around exploits found by youtubers and their own office multiplayer games
how can people be this retarded?

Dark Souls

This one kinda hurts, even if my PC was a shitbox and struggled at release when stuff got too intense.

this
its a shame what happened to it

>Devs do literally everything wrong then drop the game and go back to their main business of payday loans

Look at this video user and tell me the game didn't get castrated. It hurts.

Killing Floor 2 was fun for the first year or so. I dropped it when they fucking gave up on making the second melee class and just threw together some horseshit jack of all trades class.

>samefag

I hated launch KF2 with how blatant the teleportation was, a shame they by the time they actually fixed that they ruined everything else

Destiny 2. Pvp directly influences pve balancing and bungie doesn't want to do separate balancing.

What's it like now? Massive battles again?

I'd take a screenshot but you'll just go
>>>inspect element
Enjoy your (You)

Nu Male's Sky obviously, I don't know if it's actually good now, but it must be on a better state now than at launch

>Dev's make a good RTS
>Next game they have RTS stuff but are obviously steering away from it despite people having loved the RTS shit
>For the third game they listened to mobafags to try and make the game esports while also trying to get the RTSfags to play their shitty game
>Nobody plays it and everyone says its shit
>People still play the first one

Fucking hell

Oh I forgot I even made this thread, yeah, name's Stellaris.

Fuck nuRelic, I have extremely low expectations for AoE4.

Dawn of War?

Yeah, but it looks like shit and you'd be fixed to find a single battle over 100 people

DOW3 didnt happen and noon can convince me otherwise

get the Ultimate Apocalypse mod and do multiplayer
its pretty much peak DOW

nah it's gotta be no man's sky
the amount of post-release support that game has seen is incredibly applaudable in the age of rushed AAA microtransaction day 1 DLC bullshit
