So I saw people saying TB spent over a thousand dollars playing this mobile game is that real? Is there truth to this accusation like, a thousand dollars on a single mobile game would be...quite the dedication?

A hundred dollars I can understand anybody doing if they liked a game but they were saying "Thousand" dollars.

Mario is the ultimate assassin. Imagine waking up standing over a fresh body, bloody knife in hand, your hair matted and strands of black whiskers dotting your upper lip.

Another thing he needs to know first is can you adjust the fov? Because being able to adjust the fov in the afterlife might broaden his lovely narrow horizons a little bit

Gamer afterlife has a list of options that's directly related to your karmic score when you die. Do a lot of good in your life and you can really fine-tune the experience. Do too much bad and you're stuck with non-inverted controls and voices that are always drowned out by the sound effects with no way to adjust them separately.

"All I need to do is maintain enough CCU [concurrent users] to make sure that if you join, the matchmaking works decently enough and people get hooked enough, while also telegraphing every drat thing we're working on," Bleszinski tells GamesIndustry.biz.

There but for the grace of God go Cliff.

Also this part of the article:

quote:

It would be easy to argue much of the disappointment Lawbreakers has evoked stems from Bleszinski's reputation and - given his own admission that "I've always been polarising" - his frank nature when it comes to responding to criticism. But the veteran developer is convinced his name doesn't carry the weight that people might think.

"If you take your average 16-year-old CS:GO or Overwatch player, they don't know who the gently caress I am, they don't care," he says. "The people who know me are like 30 to 40. Your average 25-year-old doesn't know. They're more excited about pro gamers, YouTubers or Twitch streamers."

It's the latter that Boss Key hopes to get on side to help spread the word about Lawbreakers. Brussee even confirms that the game and its mechanics were designed as much with Twitch viewers in mind than active players.

With zero evidence I'm going to say this is absolutely 100% true.

Also, folks spending that much money on these games is far more common than you'd think, and it's entirely why they're profitable.

I respect Cliffy for his work but he's one of those people who should have all their mobile devices taken away from them. Before Roger Ebert's body was cold he was throwing shade at the guy.

Tengai Makyou Zero is a pretty late SNES game but the encounter rate and pacing of battle is horrendous coupled with some basic rear end dungeon design. It actually highlights how well designed Lufia 2 was which has similar features but there's actual puzzles and poo poo.

The strategy in and of itself is not a bad one, it's just more that you can't predict where that particular lightning is gonna strike. Twitch crowned PUBG god instead of Lawbreakers.

It's a lesson I thought people learned with Battleborn and Evolve. If you set out to specifically create an esports game the community will reject it.

PUBG is also super popular in countries where most people don't use twitch, obviously it helped but it's just overall a game people really enjoy playing and watching.

Those games have a bunch of memorable characters that people like to draw fanart of... and cosplay as... and ship...

That was probably CliffyB's problem

tbh that probably is, yeah, lol. he made such a big deal about not being "cartoony and anime" like overwatch but, it also means his game is insanely boring to look at and has basically zero character. like even the guy i know who really enjoyed lawbreakers said that everything outside of the gameplay was pretty average
