remember when crucible was out for, like, a month and then never again

some goon was working on it and posted in the official thread and i felt bad raining on the parade, but i've been around the block enough that if you give me a MOBA that's using four unique modes as its main selling point, then i already know it's doomed (though even i didn't think it'd be that doomed)

From what I can see an extraction shooter is where you get dropped into a pubg map and then try to escape with all the loot you can. And that's how Bungie is describing the new Marathon so I guess they're jumping on this trend and using an old name to drum up interest in their blind stab at a trendy genre. The whole thing sounds completely un-Marathon so I am now kinda bummed.

Armored Core 6 is an extraction shooter

played some starfield, made my character (who is was a chef, and a worshiper of the Great Serpent from the mean streets of Neon City, whatever that means) with a horrible hosed up face covered in scars from what i can only assume was a horrible grease fire incident but whatever did happen she's got a bounty on her head and now she's off in the middle of nowhere stabbing pirates and spiky alien creatures with a knife

kinda but in this analogy there's at least a handful of other teams out there who can KO you and take your carves and mats before you manage to actually escape

The older and bigger games that defined the genre, Tarkov and Hunt Showdown, use their extraction shooter mechanics to make them into the world's most stressful battle royales

Deceive Inc. is the funniest game I've played and the extraction shooter mechanics just force a tempo to the shenanigans people get up to

Robots confuse squirrels.


Extraction shooter just means expanding that one mode no-one liked from The Division into a full game. Basically go in, play team deathmatch until you find the loot, play king of the hill to end game.

I feel like extraction shooter implies a long match with only a couple fights. That sets Hunt Showdown apart from a shooter with capture the flag mode. When something like Hyenas blurs that line, it loses its appeal to both crowds.

Deceive Inc. matches are fairly short and potentially rather frenetic.

Carly shook her glass, willing the ice to melt. "You still haven't told me what the mission is."

She leaned forward. "We are going to assassinate the bad men of Hollywood."


Yeah I know why they're called "Extraction Shooters" ... because it's about as fun as pulling teeth!

Now we know where the trailer budget really went

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OxUmqQrMIWY
boy that trailer is ALSO garbage

click-dragging the frame around and jiggling it a bunch does not make "more" animation. they used every trick in the book to hide the low budgetness of it and managed to make it super obvious every time. on top of that it's extremely generic fantasy anime-looking. real disappointing that they split the budget for trailers up instead of really making an amazing papercraft trailer or something.

the Kamigawa trailer wasn't particularly amazing either, but it certainly knew how to hide its shortfalls stylishly, and had a climax that actually felt punchy rather than a slideshow.

wrt extraction shooters I feel like Call of Duty DMZ has done a pretty good job at making a more approachable version of one of those. It's less complex than some of the other big names but there's still plenty of tension involved.

I still can't believe someone said "So here's the thing, you're in mechs, you've got dinosaurs all over the place, waves of dinosaurs, you've all got super powers in your mech suits to fight these waves of dinosaurs, no other game has this, it's great, you know what would be even better than fighting dinosaurs?

Finished GTA3 last night. Left some phonebooth missions and other easter eggs on the table. Did the remaster fix any of the QOL things that were needed? Make vehicles a little tougher, harder to flip? Thats the big one. Gonna move on to VC I think. I dont remember what improvements that made on 3, if any.

The "definitive edition" remaster is built on the phone port and is notoriously even more of a piece of poo poo.

There's no real reason to put more time into GTA3 once you've beaten the main storyline unless you want to get up to Dodo shenanigans. Vice City improves on it in every way, pretty much. The remasters don't change that much either.

I tried the dodo a bit but controlling it with m&kb is a nightmare. Likewise doing drive bys. But I just cant bring myself to play a game with gunplay with a controller.

There was a PvP mode in Iron Rain, but it was completely optional and, surprise surprise, bad.

Basically it should've been EDF but dinosaurs, including dinosaurs inside of giant robots, and dinosaurs that had been genetically altered to be enormous, or breathing fire, or some wacky poo poo.
