Reminds me of Square Enix impression of H2016.

They weren’t even happy with Absolution to begin with, and that sold better than 2016. It was just SE being dumb, this on the other hand is a case where the game is just not attracting players

Lowest player count was 130 on Steam :skull:

The game’s by no means doing well, but the 130 player count valley was when they were doing server maintenance for the recent patch so nobody could play it. A patch which while it fixed some things introduced a bug where the game often gets stuck on a load screen after doing Incursion missions so the player count gets reduced even more.

I think it’s just unfortunate all around. The game has a lot of good elements, and it’s a rare game that I want to keep coming back to, even after completing everything major. Not many games have that distinction for me, the other 4 Arkham games and Hitman 3 are also like that. I normally hate shooters (much less looter shooters) but I’ve had a great time with this. As long as the offline mode actually gets added I wouldn’t even mind if the game doesn’t get all four announced seasons of content.

But of course the worst part is it’ll be Rocksteady that gets all the blame for the game failing and suffers for it. And WB is guaranteed gonna try other live service games hoping to still manage to make it big, and have another game studio that has no experience with live service to do a live service game and get surprised when it doesn’t work out. Maybe they’ll have TT Games do a live service LEGO game.

It truly is a shame, when it works, the game is genuinely a blast to play, there was definitely a lot of passion put into it. It’s like a much more streamlined version of the Division that I can jump into, that actually respects your time. But unfortunately the stars were aligned for this game to not be a success (live service/loooter shooter fatigue, having this be a continuation of the Arkhamverse as opposed to a Justice League/Superman game, etc.) Hopefully the next patch gets the game into a better place, they literally can’t afford another mishap right now.

Board gaming seems to of really taken off in the last few years, partly due to the quarantine. We seem to also be getting lots of board game adaptations of video games. Even so, I did a bit of a double take when I read that they were doing a Kickstarter campaign for a board game version of Dying Light. I mean, how do you take what was awesome about Dying Light, like the zombies, parkour, and day/night system and put onto cardboard?

Well, with dice, cardboard buildings, and stickers that light up under UV light. Looks kindof fun, not gonna lie.

The game´s description alone is enough to make me wanna buy/play it… (I absolutely love the name ideas though, for both the planet and the game itself)
