AAAA+?
Formerly known as Rainbow Six Twitter.
Shoulda called it Rainbow Seven then.
The game used to be fun but now its a complete mess with broken balance and everything is nerfed into oblivion leaving no room for anything interesting but getting headshots with the operator who has the best gun. Gone are the days where gadgets mattered.
I don’t see a reinvention without all balance being reset and new people being taken on to oversee balance.
A true revolution: now featuring AI generated Wilhelm screams!
That can’t be true. Surely Metroplex or Omega Supreme appeared in one of the Transformers games…
Trypticon maybe?
I bought this game at launch hoping i would get a more tactical SWAT style version of Counter Strike with destructive terrain.
What I got was a dog shit hero shooter with anime skins. So I stopped playing on day two.
My friends and I played R6 a lot until early 2020. It was a lot of fun back then. I preferred it over CSGO because it had more strategic depth and it didn’t rely too much on aim. It was all about information gathering and learning different setups and countering the common ones.
Trying the game again last year and it was a mess. So many new operators to grind out for and a lot of them were really weird. We thought Oryx was weird already and now I come back and you can play as two robots as a single operator :/
The first couple years were actually excellent but like you say it just turned in to a big mess with a miserable decline in every way.
They removing micro transactions?
I hate to say it, but micro transactions are probably the only reason Siege is still alive and kicking. And even though it’s a paid game, I don’t mind their cosmetics micro transactions, they are quite literally the smallest of evils.
I actually agree. I loved playing Siege and think they did a great job handling micro transactions. But couldn’t resist posting a meme.
Had the thought yesterday that Ubisoft is sitting on so many Bangers for multiple Niches. R6 is in between an Arcade game and a Tactical Competitive Game, curious to see where it’ll turn with X.
They have Trackmania which has like 70.000 People paying 20$ a Year to play the game and one of the best racing games on the market.
They have the best Medieval Fighting game (In my personal opinion) With For Honor and the “Art of War” tech that they under-utilize
Yet when it comes to the biggest markets they are crashing with their Far Cry’s at every sauce.
Siege, For Honor and The Division were the three best non-singleplayer games Ubisoft has ever made and will ever make, and they’re all underestimated and underutilized. It’s insane. The Division survival was an extraction shoot with top tier mechanics before anyone else had extraction shooters, I’ve been screaming at their subreddit for years for them to turn that into its own standalone game. For Honor is a crazy cool fighting game, with an incredible combat system that they simply never used in anything else again. And Siege has always been a deeper competitive shooter than any other. I’m somewhat excited to come back if X is a good turnaround for the game.
There are a lot of Ubisoft games I would buy in a heartbeat if Ubisoft didn’t own them, which is kind of hilarious to me in a way given the narratives around why large corporations are supposedly better at creating widely popular games.
