Some days are okay but then other days I remember that Erica Luttrell already has a wife.

She always looks so cozy. I know she gives good hug. I know the hugs good.

bro why you worry about maining someone? like I play a different person in r6s depending on what I feel like / the map / the location of site. actually when I first started playing the game all I would use is the random button! like unless ur in comp it really doesn't matter. one of the only reasons why I don't do random these days is because the button isn't in standard only qp. just like... click someone- except for mira or clash. banned.

BELIEVE IT OR NOT i've actually got like... little to no gameplay experience playing r6, most of my knowledge comes from watching other people play. I've played maybe about 2 hours worth of actual matches tops :P

after going through enough fps games with characters that have unique abilities/guns, i eventually figured out i learn a game best if i just pick a character and try to learn just them until i'm comfortable with their utility enough that im not trying to learn the maps, the plant spots, etc etc while also fighting learning my own ability and guns. x_x

I ALSO USUALLY JUST PLAY WHOEVER I WANT TO IN GAMES, apex i do that a lot, but i only really started to learn once i told myself "okay, i'm gonna just pick ONE character to play", and so i'd only play mirage until i felt comfortable in the battle royal format. now, i play a variety of legends! >:)

i do get you though, it's not like... a giant worry, starting is just hard for me LMAOOOOO. the r6 gameplay loop is so foreign to me and these kinds of learning curves i find i get over the fastest if character choice isn't an aspect im fighting against too, if that all makes any sense?

#keej answers #hrgnm #tumblr ask #wish i learned this sooner... i would have started enjoying valorant SO MUCH FASTER omfg #AND AGAIN IM LIKE basically a new player experience-wise... havent even touched like half the operators lol #still trying to find what i like >_> #long post. #SORRY FOR THE ESSAY AHAKJFHDSJK I DIDNT MEAN FOR THIS TO BE SO LONG but also i think i cant explain my brain in less words #IF IM GOING ABOUT THIS THE WRONG WAY i appreciate suggestions because mannn i know r6 is different than like.... #overwatch or apex so maybe the strat is to just try shit and yolo it? idk. i find having some familiarity helps me a lot #so thats why im on the hunt for a main

[i-dor-u]

yeah it's kinda upsetting. I hate izuku being treated like that. he deserves to get the main character hype.

honestly yes! I am so glad that getou gets the attention he deserves. he's a complex character with him seeing the reality of what is vs what he used to believe.

I can't wait to get back into gaming man. I play Apex legends and story games like the last of us etc. and I just haven't been able to play for so long. is obey me any good? I've been hearing about it for a while now.

sports anime wasn't my thing either which is funny because I'm a relatively sporty person but my friend told me to watch haikyuu so I gave it a shot and here I am now.

don't worry about the rambling! It's so nice talking to you :) once again, I am so sorry for disappearing. I have one exam left so hopefully, I'll be here more often. this is a very long response, my apologies.

this pattern of the main character getting brushed aside in the favor of another character is actually quite prevalent! but on a more positive side, i've noticed that all things considered, the main characters still have a pretty solid fanbase. i hope this applies to deku as well.

seriously, i think getou is among the "real deal" characters of the show. i remember being a bit blown away when i first started watching it, because everyone seemed to be all about gojo and sukuna and i was like wow. but then i came to discover that he gets just about the same amount of hype.

i have a degree of interest in games such as tekken or assassin's creed valhalla, but i fear i'd get addicted haha. obey me, i think it's fun, but unfortunately it seems a bit too pay-to-win. i am mostly in it for the characters, to the point where i don't put much effort in the gameplay, if that makes sense. so yeah, iunno if i'm exactly qualified to answer this question hahahah

i'm kind of shallow because an important aspect that determines whether i'll watch an anime or read a manga is if the character are appealing to me. that's why i got into blue lock despite having like zero interest in soccer haha but still, it's insanely fun. what's more is that the manga art feels sort of similar to the art in bleach, so there must've been the warmth of familiarity.

thank you so much for the response! i'm glad we can still communicate, even if studies are a bit tough lately. see you soon, and take care!

My Season of the Lost Experience [Part 1 // Contains Spoilers]

Oh Destiny 2, I just can't seem to stay away for too long. About 3 weeks before Season of the Lost Launched, I returned from a hiatus I started towards the end of the Season of the Hunt while I was sweating my brains out in Apex Legends. Now that I have no more brains I have returned to Destiny 2 to catch up and get ready for Witch Queen in February.

For whatever reason, I was not overly enthused with Beyond Light as an expansion. In fact I would say as a single offering of content it was very underwhelming and I think it got swept away by the seasonal content very quickly. The Lore was amazing but otherwise I think it says a lot that I returned to the game during the end of Season of the Splicer at power level 1245.

That being said, I really enjoyed the Season of the Splicer content and quickly binged all of it in those 3 weeks. I actually still grind the corrupted missions and seasonal activities for pulse rifle drops because those are very good this season in pve. Officially starting the season at exactly 1300 power felt really good, and I didn't mind the power grind at all while I had a rather hectic beginning of the season with some discord friends.

The Seasonal content that we got this time around in the form of Astral Alignment and the Shattered Realm which provide some of the most fun repeatable content I've seen from bungie in quite some time. I really love the Sundial-esque style as it helps each run feel just different enough that I don't hate myself by the time I get to the bosses which are awesome for how low tier content they cap off.

Shattered Realm on the other hand is a really interesting little activity in the ascendant plane that has players basically solving mysteries and using buffs provided by the seasonal vendor upgrades to explore the Ley Lines of said ascendant plane. I have absolutely loved the final boss encounters in this activity as we guide Mara Sov's tech witches back to her throne world where we have Savathün, again providing some really fun mechanics for 1-3 players.

Speaking of bosses, it's actually really fun to make them not exist this season with some interested seasonal weapon mods and a lot of buffs that went live with the season making for a large pool of Meta builds right now. The one I play with myself is focusing on the Particle Deconstruction Artifact mod which turns all fusion and linear fusion rifles into boss melting toys. Alongside my Outbreak Perfected, No Time to Explain, or Monte Carlo and my favorite Falling Guillotine, I have been having a blast playing with fusion rifles that allow me to really abuse my favorite exotic armor piece; Verity's Brow.

Gameplay aside, the story has been really fun this season playing off of the 2 most royal characters in the game, Savathün and Mara Sov. Savathün corrupted Mara's brother once before and it feels like she's going to try and corrupt Crow in some way now. Obviously the massive reveal at the start of the Season that Savathün has been osiris this whole time was rewarding for some observant players but honestly my favorite part has been watching the queens both lose Crow.

Crow finally knows that he was Uldren in his past life and has thus fled to work on other assignments for Ikora, but his back and forth experience with Savathün and Mara was really interesting especially with how badly it paints Mara not just as Uldren's sister but also his queen. This was the last big event before the ritual event that will conclude this season's story which will presumably launch just before or just after the 30th year Bungie Anniversary event as we lead up to Witch Queen.

Alternatively I've actually been diving back into Beyond Light Lore instead of the most juicy Lost content by completing Deep Stone Crypt for the very first time with some community members from the Work to Game discord which I help coordinate. It took us 2 attempts across 2 Wednesday nights to complete with a mostly new group including Brian from Work to Game got his first clear with us and that's been a blast to do and find Lore collectibles and such along the way. I Will probably talk about that first successful DSC run later to compare with whatever raid I do next.

Here we are at the end of yet another year of Destiny, with yet another great season as the game continues steadily upwards in player count. Right now I think my favorite thing to do in game is alternate farming Lost and Splicer content, getting a lot of the best rewards this year has had on offer while I gear up for Witch Queen.

Between fun content and a huge wave of buffs and some great new seasonal mods, the weapon metas have felt great. I haven't even mentioned the Trials of Osiris changes that happened this season but it's currently on hiatus again anyway so it doesn't really matter that it's awesome. I'm really glad that we have so much time until Witch Queen drops because I will have more time to try new builds in so much different content.

I'm currently working on a video for a second channel about the importance of Final Patches in MMO expansions for a second channel, and it's literally because of how good this season is on top of how well FF14 has prepared its players for the launch of End Walker next week. I'm so glad that I came back for this season and I'm also glad that I got my rest, but this season has so many great options for available content and meaningful rewards.

Hey there ! Apparently you like video-games (or at least Smash), so what's your favourite one ?

Hookay, so… I know this is going to get long, so adding a Read More, but the short answer is: I don’t have a clear cut favorite, but some of my favorites include such well known properties as Mass Effect and lesser known ones like Sudeki. I’m not some gaming guru but I definitely have some Opinions™ about video games.

Favorite First Person Shooter: Halo: Reach. Generally, I don’t ask for much in my FPS; let me kill shit and the less I have to reload, the better. However, Halo: Reach, being at the time the 4th game in the franchise that served as the prequel to the entire series, provided an excellent story with great characters and an underlying message about the indomitable human soul.

Favorite Real Time Strategy: Halo Wars. Okay, yes, another entry from the same franchise, but!!! This one also has some fantastic characters and a great storyline, even if it’s… somewhat confusing when considering the bigger narrative (Halo in general is just messy af and retconned-but-not all to hell anyway). Still, it’s a fun, mostly intuitive RTS, which is notoriously difficult on consoles.

Favorite Horror Game: Resident Evil. Listen, this game came out when I was seven, and my Uncle let me play it to fuck with me. Nothing will be scary than those early PS1 graphics, the loading screen a constant tease of ‘what’s behind this door? Is it death? It’s probably death!’ that got me good. Fear Factor comes a close second, as though it wasn’t much of a horror game, the game mechanic of your character’s rising stress level kept me on the fucking edge.

Favorite Final Fantasy: Final Fantasy X. Listen. I don’t care how awkward Tidus’ laugh was. I don’t even mind how passive Yuna was. Blitzball was amazing and I have forgiven all sins. No, seriously, I loved the cast in FFX, much like other FF games, and Seymour was a villain I enjoyed hating with every fiber of my being, and even some of the mini games were fun, too. But Blitzball could’ve been a standalone game and I would’ve bought it. Still would.

Favorite JRPG: Sudeki. If you didn’t get a chance to play this on the original XBOX, you missed out. The characters were fun, if a bit goofy, and the high fantasy mixed with science fiction was a nice touch. What really sold me, though, was the AI. Not only could you switch between different available characters in the middle of a fight- very easily and very intuitively- but the AI actually behaved very well, saving my ass more than a time or two. In most games, AI are either cannon fodder, immortal, or require close attention/precise manipulation of their preset actions. Not in Sudeki; some fights, I could actually stand back and let my party do their work, and that was immensely gratifying. Yeah, the ending was a bit of a let down, but it didn’t erase how much fun I had with the rest of the game.

Favorite Super Smash Brothers: Super Smash Brothers Melee. Don’t get me wrong, I love a lot of the elements in the sequels but SSBM was the version I played most heavily with friends, so I have the most fond memories of it. Plus, it was before they changed Link’s moveset, which I’m still high key upset about. (I don’t like the new bombs or his new down attack.)

Favorite Series: Mass Effect. Now, one might expect Halo to be my favorite series, seeing as two of the games are some of my all time favorites, but… nah. When you take out the multiplayer element, the Halo games didn’t have much left. Yes, they had a galaxy spanning conflict with twists and turns but, honestly, Mass Effect did it better, with better world building and exploration, and a lot of interactive features that I enjoyed. From what I played of Andromeda, (long after it released, so no weird bugs yet), it continued to build on the foundation of the original trilogy, though I would’ve preferred to stay in the Milky Way, and Ryder can’t hold a candle to Shepard. Still, even what issues I have with the series (LET ME ROMANCE KROGANS, DAMNIT) don’t detract from the excellent story, fun gameplay, and intriguing mystery.

Favorite Elder Scrolls: … okay, I actually don’t like any of them, tbh. And??? I’m not sure why??? I actively can’t stand Skyrim.

Favorite Soulsborne: There is only Dark Souls, and it’s the pinnacle of ‘I don’t need my brain for this’ for me. It’s just… run around and kill things. Nothing matters. I think the main difference between this and Skyrim is the way the player character moves. ES games look so… silly. At least Dark Souls looks silly for a reason.

Favorite Sports Game: NCAA 2007. I’d rather play as a college team than a professional one. Although, NFL Blitz comes a very close second, purely because it gave no fucks and only barely qualifies as a sports game.

Favorite ‘Oh Fuck’ Game: It’s a tie between Minecraft and ARK: Survival Evolved. And you’re asking ‘how are those two in the same category’ and the answer is ‘because the only difference between the two for me is, which is going to kill me, lava or a raptor?’ and don’t ask how I die to these two things with equal frequency. More to the point, I usually play these games with friends, and thus my ‘oh fuck’ moments are witnessed by others, or I witness their ‘oh fuck’ moments. Sometimes they’re funny, sometimes they’re sad, but they leave an impact and, hey, that’s fucking impressive.

Favorite Pokemon Game: Blue Version. Yeah, it’s a bit of a cop out, but the original game I got back when Pokemon first came over to the States actually taught me a life lesson: that it is possible to play a game wrong, which is what I was doing. So, I started over, and I was much happier for it! No matter what features are added to the franchise, I don’t think I’ll ever gain such an important life lesson from one again, so it’s gonna stay at the top of the list.

Favorite Chill Game: Any Harvest Moon. Let me tend my farm. (I haven’t had a chance to play Stardew Valley, which is basically Harvest Moon but gay, so that’ll probably take the top spot once I get a chance to play it.)

Favorite Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time. Although there are some aspects of Majora’s Mask I liked better, OoT had fishing. Yes, that’s honestly my favorite part of the game. I love fishing in video games. Don’t judge me.

Favorite Team Game: Overwatch. Love the character designs and gameplay. Witch!Mercy still owns my soul.

Favorite Battle Royale: Apex Legends. For some reason, one of the few ‘competitive’ games that doesn’t spark my frustration when I lose. Dunno why, it’s just fun. Lightning rounds are great, too!

Favorite Hack-n-Slash: Brutal Legends. Heavy metal, axes, and guitars- everything from the aesthetic to the gameplay is fun and the story is interesting as well. The RTS portion can get a bit annoying but, other than that, no complaints here.

Favorite Fable: Fable III. I endorse any game that allows me to woo as many people as I can find who are attracted to me. Let me have as many spouses as I want, one in each city. I will marry half the kingdom, damnit, just watch me. 

Those are the ones I can think of off the top of my head. I know I’m missing some but I’ve sunk perhaps hundreds of hours into the games listed, so, yeah.

#TRR asks #me playing video games

[yeetboi42o]

I HAVE NOWHERE ELSE POST THIS BECAUSE NONE OF MY FRIENDS PLAY APEX BUT HEAR ME OUT:

Each season trailer (cinematic not gameplay) the legends get better and better at actually playing the game. In season one Wraith is missing literally every shot with her RE, like girl come on, but in the season 3 trailer she’s taking bitches out with no weapon.

Like, it’s very noticeable once you start watching the trailers... Season 1 again, Wraith missing every damn shot at medium range. Season 2, Gibby and Mirage are missing most of their bullets when firing at Octane, but they can land shots (on account of the dead Caustic and the arc star’s accuracy). However in season 3 literally everyone is kicking ass and aiming dead on, raking in kills and such.

Obviously they still have to maintain the ‘cool shot or visual for cinematic effect’ even in early trailers, but if you take overall performance throughout the trailers you notice the legends are getting better and stronger. It’s just a neat thing I noticed uwu.

Final Podcast Outcome

Evaluation:

Here is my final podcast with trailer.

(Note: If you cannot see the video or YouTube link, the podcast can be found on YouTube at "Kobrandom" I'll also put a link at the bottom of this post.)

The podcast overall went well. The audio gathered was balanced pretty well, there were nearly no moments of silence and Zak and I had a quite good chemistry as we new the topic we were speaking of. I captured the audio using the professional microphones, mixer and software within the radio room of the college. Using all that I learned over the past few weeks, I was able to do this without any assistance or extra help and I feel the final product was a success.  

Before I began recording however, I created two separate but similar podcast sheets explaining the basis of what I wanted to talk about, possible questions I could ask, the expected length of the podcast, podcast name ideas and other things. I also filled out an "Outline for my podcast" sheet found via the internet, to finite the details of what I wanted with my podcast. Below is an image of that sheet:

Furthermore, after I had captured and exported the audio. I began to edit it on my laptop using premiere pro. I used Premiere primarily because I am the most efficient on it than other editing software. In retrospect, It may have been better to use audio editing software like Audacity. Nevertheless, I was able to edit my audio fine on premiere. There was only a single word I had to edit out, despite being inoffensive, it was not appropriate for college. I used the basic cutting tool to do this and made sure It was unnoticeable.

After cutting and manipulating the audio to a standard I was happy with. I started to work on my podcast logo of which I planned to have in the centre of the screen. I used Photoshop CS6 as always and began by creating a document designed for web purposes. This was a setting you could select when creating a new Photoshop file. With the document created, I changed the background to black using the quick command 'alt + backspace' however I had to also make sure my primary colour was set to black and not white.

With the canvas now black. I selected the 'Type tool' found on the left hand tool menu or by simply pressing 'T' for Type/Text. I then began to type out the text required. Which was 'The Isometric Podcast' the word 'The' was typed on a separate layer however. When typing I made sure the colour was set to white, and the font was set to 'Digital Tech' previously used in another aspect of my project. Found on Dafont.

After typing the text I made sure to centre it, with the word 'The' above the main text to the left a little. Once positioned, I then created a red box using the square shape tool. I made sure the colour was set to red and not white or black and moved it so the 'Isometric Podcast' text would be in the centre of the box, with 'The' on the red outline of the box. As the red square I just created was solid red, I changed the fill to about 0% to just keep the outline. Then went into the properties of the box and added a 'Stroke' to make the outline thicker and more noticeable. Finally as I did not want 'The' to be on a red outline, I selected the eraser tool and holding shift I erased the parts of the outline I did not want.

Now with the basic logo made, of which I thought looked much better than the first iteration I made and showed in a prior post, I then deleted the black background. Of which was mainly there as a template so I could see what my logo would look like on a black backdrop. And saved the file as a PNG as opposed to a JPEG.

With the logo made and saved, I imported it into my premiere pro project, Where I then started to play with different effects in an attempt to make an intro. Before adding any effects, I created an Adjustment layer. Similar to last time. With an Adjustment Layer created, I put it on my timeline. I mainly used the 'Ripple' effect similar to my trailer as it created a nice wave effect. I of course had to tamper with several settings to get it as I wanted. As well as adding effects, I used key frame to animate the logo. I use the small stopwatch next to position and moved the logo out of frame. This is so when the intro is done, the logo would move from the screen. Now, after finalizing my intro's animation and effects, I started to look for appropriate music.

Originally, I was going to create my own track. However I didn't have enough access to the software and wasn't very familiar with making music. With the time restraints also it wouldn't have been possible. Or at least I wouldn't have been happy with anything I could've made.

Nonetheless, I used the same website I got the music for my trailer 'Free Music Archive' and I input the tag 'Gaming' to try and find all game related tunes. I came across a few, but the one I decided to go for was called "Epic Champ" by L'homme Manete.

Moving forward, after making the quick intro sequence, I started to work on the main podcast. For the visuals, I had the same logo centred but static with a brick wall background of which I found online. I changed the opacity of the wall backdrop to around 80% as I felt it looked cleaner when it was slightly darkened. I also used a faint cloud effect to add some atmosphere to the podcast visual. The cloud effect was a sapphire plugin. This means that It wasn't apart of Premiere pro originally. So, as the podcast revolves around video games, I input some gameplay of a major game 'Apex Legends' this is because we talk about it within the podcast and because it's the number one trending game currently. I captured the gameplay via my PlayStation.

In conclusion, I feel that my podcast was a marginal success. The audio was near on perfect, the conversation had a nice flow, I had next to no issues when editing besides it taking time and I was able to successfully upload onto YouTube.

Industry Trend: Battle Royale Can't Battle It Out

It was with the explosive popularity of the likes of Fortnite, PUBG and The Culling that the battle royale genre was catapulted to the forefront of videogames. Whether its the boggling numbers of players that were playing such titles, the desperate scrambles by developers and publishers to cash in on the trend or the sheer volume of indistinguishable titles that began to surface, battle royale games have to battle amongst themselves and, ultimately, that is a fight that’s doomed to fail.

The genre itself isn’t new, of course. Going back a number of years, the growing success of the genre can be seen within mods for ARMA 2 and Minecraft, experiences that allowed players to duke it out amongst themselves before the genre had taken off as it has now. What really brought such games to the forefront of player, developer and publisher conscience was the marriage of intense multiplayer action and the spectacle of personalities and streaming, with Twitch growing in popularity just as rapidly as the genre and associated games were themselves.

While the focus seemed to shift, the idea was the same. DayZ came and went. The Culling came and went. The Culling 2 came and went even quicker. PUBG had a larger foothold, especially so as it made the jump to Xbox One. It was a situation that began to grow and showed no sign of slowing down. What came next though was unprecedented. Fortnite, a free to play experience, became a behemoth. Over the course of several months, the game exploded in popularity. Streamers like” Ninja” began pulling in ginormous numbers of viewers while they played and special in game events, including a crossover event with Avengers: Infinity War, kept things fresh and changing. It became integral to kid culture and the in-game purchases became a must have. It’s worth noting that the aforementioned was something that drew publishers from miles around like vultures too.

Other popular series then began introducing their own take on the genre, with Call of Duty, Battlefield and Red Dead Redemption 2 each promising their own unique spin on a gameplay style people were becoming perhaps too familiar with. Over the course of just a few years, battle royale games have become a staple in the videogames industry across the board and seem to show no signs of slowing down, especially so as Respawn Entertainment watches their new title, Apex Legends, drawing in a playerbase from scratch way quicker than anybody likely thought possible. Only 3 days in, 10 million players had given the game a whirl so another large free-to-play game enters the fray.

But it’s important to remember that what goes up must come down. And just like a player skydiving to the map below, the popularity of battle royale will surely come down. The industry obsession with trying to stake a claim in the royale riches is an unsustainable one.

Imagine, if you will, that each gamer that’s interested in battle royale games is represented by a small counter. With the genre having been in the public eye for some time now, it’s safe to say at this point that those who are at all interested in the genre are already within this huge stack of counters. Sure, there’s a small handful of new counters added to the stack here and there, but the amount is so few that we already have a ginormous stack of counters that doesn’t seem to really change in volume. Now imagine that these counters have to be distributed out to each title that wants their attention.

So, we begin dishing out these counters. A chunk of them goes to PUBG. Another chunk of counters goes to Fortnite. Another stack to Apex Legends and another stack to Call of Duty’s Blackout mode. This distribution goes on and on until we have dished out the counters. It’s after this that you begin to see the issue: there’s only so many counters to hand out and it’s rare that these counters move from their original pile to another. The genre has been around long enough that it’s not really drawing in new players because those who are excited by the prospect of battle royale are already involved. There’s only so many players to go around when there’s so many various playerbases.

As new games release and as time goes on, these counters begin to move away and shift at a rate that isn’t replenished. More and more battle royale games surface without there being enough players to sustain them. We’ve already seen small rumblings from games like Realm Royale, The Darwin Project and H1Z1 as they try to maintain themselves in such a crowded market. There simply isn’t enough to go around. This isn’t exactly a new phenomenon, with “games as a service” already having been hit by the exact same issue. A little before battle royale was a publishers favourite phrase, the likes of Ubisoft and Activision were desperate to get us hooked on “games as a service”; experiences that never really let us go and change over time to try and keep us constantly playing and, more often than not, always reaching into our wallet too. Just like battle royale, these games each carved out their own pool of dedicated players: Destiny fans, The Division fans, Overwatch fans, Sea of Thieves fans, Fallout 76 fans. Really, battle royale games are no different as evident by Fortnite using an ever changing landscape and challenges to keep players engaged. Each one tried to become your main gaming priority. The problem was that if you played one, you very much tended to stick to just the one and there was little overlap.

With The Division 2 and Anthem on the way, the issue is only going to get worse. Developers and publishers want more and more of our time (and, ultimately, money) but we only have so much to give. The shared problem with “games as a service” and battle royale games is that their approach and content is always shifting and in order to stay relevant and this means you have to truly pay attention. If you’re doing that and you’re attempting to stay within or ahead of the meta, you haven’t got the time to learn the details of multiple massive games at a time.

As more and more titles surface, this issue gets worse and worse and the many piles of counters under each banner begin to thin out. As they do so, this array of titles begin to become unsustainable and then disappear.

There are two avenues that you can go down to get aboard the bandwagon: either get your game out fast and get ahead of the competition or take your time and hope that your game speaks for itself upon launch. We’ve seen how well the former pans out already.

Boss Key Productions, the studio behind the now deceased battle royale game Radical Heights, jumped aboard the battle royale hypetrain following the rather disastrous launch of their previous title, Lawbreakers. The aforementioned shooter failed to find an audience within such a saturated market so they aimed to turn things around by, unfortunately, jumping into yet another saturated market. The studio, co-founded by Cliff Bleszinski, did at least attempt to offer a new twist on the genre but the game was dubbed by the studio itself as “extreme early access” and wound up being too broken and buggy to get a solid foothold. It was only a month before it was deemed a failure and the last ditch attempt by the studio to stay afloat failed.

The same thing happened with the launch of The Culling 2, a game that shut down after an even smaller window. A sequel to the first The Culling game, The Culling 2 fell far short of the generally positive reception of the first game and was quickly deemed a disaster. The royale game that needed 50 players per match managed to dwindle to a concurrent player count of single digits within 48 hours of release. Fans of the original believed that the developers had jumped into a sequel far too soon and was chasing money. It was a gamble that didn’t pay off.

At the other end of the spectrum however is the idea that you can release something later on so long as it is polished and has something fresh to offer. Perhaps the weirdest way of battling things out with other players is to do so using your skills with Tetriminoes, an experience offered for free with Tetris 99 on the Switch. While the surprise announcement and release of the game seems hasty, it offers a fresh take on a popular game that appeals to so many.

Meanwhile, established series are eager to be part of the conversation, with Call of Duty becoming home to its own Blackout Mode, a PUBG-esque experience that was developed instead of an explosive campaign like every CoD game before it. The beta for the mode drew many players in and, once again, a new spin on something so many people are familiar with seemed to catch peoples attention. These established series provide solid foundations for newer styles, ideally meaning these experiences are more polished from the get go.

Other series are weighing in too. Red Dead Redemption may well have an online mode that is still growing and developing but an element of that experience is their Most Wanted mode, a survival of the fittest. With the critical and commercial success of the game, players already looked at the game favourably so an online mode that is actively in beta didn’t seem to phase as many as you would think. It’s not the only game that is adding in royale elements after the launch though, as Battlefield V is slated to be getting a battle royale experience of its own later this year.

It’s an understandable move by EA: battle royale is where the players are and is also where the money is so why not chase that with a series that’s already made a name for itself. The issue is that many Battlefield players consider the game to be a little half-baked. The game itself sits at a user rating on Metacritic of around 3… and that’s if you round up too. The prospect that another large chunk of the game is not only unfinished but not even available until months after release is telling of just how desperately this trend will be chased. It’s almost undeniable that the game was release way before it should have been but the risk was taken in an attempt to cash in on winter sales numbers and the shifting focus of gamers at large. EA has their sights fixed on royale but it’s even worse than you think.

Why? Because not only are they competing with larger adversaries but they will soon be actively competing against themselves. Under the publishing arm of EA, Respawn Entertainment has just launched their own battle yoyale experience as we’ve discussed; Apex Legends, a shooter that takes elements of their previous Titanfall series and layers them with a lick of battle royale and hero-shooter paint. While the new title is doing well for itself so far, no doubt partially because it is also free to download, when Battlefield finally launches its own royale mode, there will be two similar experiences competing against each other that have both surfaced from the very same publishing branch. That’s a bizarre scenario in itself, especially when there is so much other competition in the field as it is.

It’s a little ironic really as it was over saturation and competition that led EA to kill off Respawn’s last series, Titanfall. Having launched Battlefield 1 and Titanfall 2 within a week of each other, and positioned Titanfall only a week before the release of 2016’s Call of Duty entry. Rather than delivering a 1-2-punch to CoD, it just meant that Titanfall had to go up against two other better established series of similar genre and caused it to ultimately fail. Now Respawn is choosing to once again get involved in a very busy area of the games industry. It’s doing well for itself so far but that may not last long and it may well find itself struggling once again down the line.

The carpet will be pulled out from under royale eventually. It’s only a matter of time before we see these games begin to wane. Rest assured though that something else will take the limelight and and some other craze will pop up.

Ultimately, battle royale is just the latest genre to become the favourite. We’ve seen first-person shooters flood the industry. We’ve seen unnecessary multiplayer modes tacked on to singleplayer experiences be all the rage once upon a time too. We have seen lord knows how many open-world third-person action games surface that offer very vast worlds with little in them (something I’ve touched upon before) and now we see everyone jump aboard a new ship. Eventually, that ship is going to sink. Battle royale games have begun battling it out but I’m not so sure there’ll be any winners in the end.

What do you think of the battle royale craze as it continues to grow? Are you enjoying any of the big hitters in the field or would you be glad to see the back of them? Let us know below.

How Splitgate Became Gaming’s Latest Surprise Hit

https://ift.tt/eA8V8J

Over the last month, Splitgate has climbed up the Steam charts and broken nearly all its concurrent player records en-route to becoming one of the most talked-about games of the year. Of course, most conversations about Splitgate currently start with the question “What is Splitgate?”

Well, Splitgate is a free-to-play competitive first-person shooter that combines elements of Halo and Portal. It’s developed by 1047 Games: a studio you’ve probably never heard of before simply because Splitgate is their first project. I’d say that the best way to find out what Splitgate is would be to play it for yourself, but given that the game’s servers have been taking a beating lately, you might be better off doing some outside research.

Why is Splitgate suddenly so popular, though? Well, that’s a much more complicated question, but here are a few reasons why the game has become one of the year’s most fascinating sensations:

Splitgate Has Been Generating a Ton of Twitch/YouTube Buzz

As is typically the case with seemingly sudden sensations in the modern era, much of Splitgate’s recent success can be attributed to its sudden rise in popularity among streamers and content creators. 

There’s a bit of a chicken and egg effect happening here (which we’ll talk more about in a bit), but it certainly does seem that many people recently became aware of Splitgate because they somehow saw footage of a popular Twitch streamer or YouTuber playing it. The game has spread like wildfire throughout that scene, similar to what we recently saw in the cases of Valheim and Fall Guys. In this particular instance, it certainly doesn’t hurt that Splitgate’s gameplay leads to some incredible highlights that can easily be turned into equally impressive videos. 

Again this part of the equation isn’t unusual (streamers latch on to trendy games all of the time), but the question now is whether or not Splitgate has the staying power of something like Final Fantasy 14 (another game that has grown this year) or whether or not it will ultimately fade away once that shine wears off and people find a new trend. While it’s certainly possible Splitgate will prove to be a flash in the pan, there are reasons to believe that Splitgate might actually retain a sizeable amount of its suddenly growing audience…

Splitgate is a Halo-like Shooter That Fills That Halo Infinite Void

While the “Portal” portion of Splitgate‘s formula tends to steal all of the attention (again, more on that in a bit), it’s actually the game’s Halo-like elements that are arguably the biggest reason why it has grown in popularity recently. 

Splitgate is certainly not a 1:1 copy of Halo, but it’s pretty hard to play the game and not spot the similarities. Elements of Splitgate’s pacing, weapons, visuals, and general style are all clearly designed to tap into Halo’s iconic brand of multiplayer combat. Some of the game’s maps also feel like tributes to Halo’s best levels, which is honestly a great move considering that Halo had some of the best maps in multiplayer FPS history. Splitage even features an announcer who seems to be doing a loving tribute to/impression of Halo’s iconic announcer.

Splitgate’s Halo-like elements would have always found a crowd, but at a time when Halo Infinite’s multiplayer tests recently drew so much positive buzz (and when that game’s final release date remains something of a mystery), it’s easy to understand why there are so many people craving a Halo-like experience.

Splitgate Has Benefited From Years Worth of Improvements

Splitgate was actually first released in 2019 as Splitgate: Arena Warfare, but the fact of the matter is that the original version of the game was more than worthy of its “Early Access” status. While many of those who played it early on recognized its potential, it was more of a curiosity at that time than a fully realized experience. 

A lot has changed since then, though. Splitgate’s developers have done an excellent job of not only responding to community feedback in the two years since the game’s debut but in finding ways to expand upon its potential and slowly turn it into the experience that its most passionate early fans felt it could eventually be. 

That’s not to say Splitgate is currently where it needs to be (the game is almost always going to need to be rebalanced and its servers are going through a rough time at the moment), but it’s impressive to see how far this game has come in a relatively short amount of time. 

Splitgate’s “Portal” Elements Are Genuinely Exciting and a Great Hook

It feels like people have been talking about a competitive shooter in the style of Portal ever since Valve’s classic puzzle game blew our minds in 2007, but few developers have come close to figuring out how such a complicated system would ever work. That makes it that much easier to assume that Splitgate’s use of a similar concept must be a gimmick. 

That’s not really the case, though. Again, Splitgate’s use of portals as a traversal/combat mechanic isn’t perfect, but it’s honestly shocking how well this mechanic works at the moment despite the fact it could so easily break a competitive game. Splitgate’s maps are intelligently designed to eliminate some of the more obvious instances of teleportation exploitation, and the opportunities those portals create help ensure that most matches feel fresh and distinct. 

More importantly, it’s hard to watch someone play Splitgate without becoming a little curious about what this game is and how it all works. Still, Splitgate‘s portals are more of a genuine hook than a mere gameplay gimmick. 

Splitgate is Surprisingly Accessible

If you do happen to watch someone play a game of Splitgate, you might walk away thinking that the game is too complicated. In reality, though, Splitgate might just be one of the most accessible currently popular competitive shooters. 

You can absolutely use Splitgate’s portals to pull off some incredible plays, but you can also choose to use Splitgate’s portals for nothing more elaborate than simple traversal and still have a great time with the game. Compared to titles like Apex Legends and Overwatch which pretty much require you to learn multiple characters with unique, situation-based skills, Splitgate really just asks you to consider one additional mechanic that honestly compliments its arena shooter-like gameplay rather well. 

Splitgate is also currently a free-to-play title, which is certainly another one of those qualities that are fairly common among rising stars on the indie game scene. 

Splitgate Has Grown in Poularity as 2021’s Slow Release Schedule Has Everyone Searching For Something New

I almost hesitate to mention this point given that it may make elements of Splitgate’s success seem like a coincidence, but the fact of the matter is that it’s not a coincidence we’re seeing so many smaller and existing games grow in popularity this year. 

It should be very clear by now that 2021’s slow release schedule and numerous delays are a result of the Covid-19 pandemic and the many ways that pandemic protocols have slowed down game development. While nobody has been immune to the full effects of the pandemic, it’s also pretty clear at this point that larger studios have been hit especially hard while smaller studios (or lone developers) developing smaller projects who are used to working from home without an office full of resources have been better able to stick to their intended schedules. 

cnx.cmd.push(function() { cnx({ playerId: "106e33c0-3911-473c-b599-b1426db57530", }).render("0270c398a82f44f49c23c16122516796"); });

Splitgate isn’t only popular due to a lack of options, but at a time when Triple-A gaming has pretty much been delayed until 2022, this is a great time to give smaller games a shot.

Maplestory alike has in-game weddings and dinosaurs that comedy guitar. Really, the alone affair missing from Maplestory is an Oasis-inspired soundtrack.

If you’re into third-person branch shooters, Warframe may be one of the best chargeless amateur available. Players booty ascendancy of associates of the Tenno, an age-old chase clashing adjoin enemies such as the Grineer, the Corpus, the Infested and the Sentients. Your Tenno soldier uses a Crysis-style Warframe armor able with accoutrements or affray weapons to activity back.

Better attractive than your accepted free-to-play shooter, there’s a lot of fun to be had in Warframe’s player-vs-enemy raids – so abundant so that some gamers see it as, “The Destiny that never was.” Aerial acclaim all around.

However, the abstraction will either be accustomed if you’ve played its inspirations, or a way to get a feel for the style, if you haven’t. Gods accommodate Zeus, Thor, Kali, Artemis and… Cupid? Well, at atomic he has his own bow…

There are so abounding MMOs that acquire been arise or re-released as free-to-play games. However, Aristocrat of the Rings Online is one of those titles that best deserves accession look. It’s already an absurd bold in its own right, but it’s additionally one of the added complete MMOs on the market.

Ultimately, you’ll acquire to pay to alleviate adventitious packs. However, there’s no cable fee and no up-front cost, authoritative it one of the best chargeless amateur 2020 wants you to analysis out.

However, aback the Ascension Update, arise aback in November 2016, Eve Online has gone chargeless to comedy – at atomic to some extent.

The new ‘alpha clones’ arrangement featured in Eve Online is like the “unlimited chargeless trial” affection in Apple of Warcraft.

To say that Activity Royale amateur are accepted in 2020 would be a massive understatement. However, the akin of success that Apex Legends has accomplished so bound afterwards barrage speaks volumes. It’s actually becoming its atom on this annual as one of the best chargeless games. Not alone is the bold itself incredible, bringing altered mechanics from the alarming Titanfall amateur to a Activity Royale, but the bold itself has accomplished over a beauteous 25 actor players afterwards a week.

Apex Legends places 60 players in the boilerplate of a gigantic map, armed with a agglomeration of altered abilities that accomplish both activity and bridge clumsily addicting. It’s not actually the anarchy of 100 amateur activity royale titles like Fortnite or PUBG, but it feels balanced. If somehow you haven’t abutting the Apex Legends appearance yet, you’re hardly missing out.

Hawken is a bold about mechs. Not aloof any mechs, but fast mechs. These aren’t your boilerplate slow, awkward tanks of MechWarrior Online. These are added in band with the Exoskeletons of Call of Duty: Advanced Warfare.

Of course, actuality a free-to-play game, apprehend to absorb some money for upgrades to your amateur mech. However, bread-and-butter players can still get a aftertaste for Hawken afterwards spending a dime.

Much like Aphotic Souls – admitting conceivably not actually as acceptable and elegant, Let It Die is a free-to-play bold of PlayStation 4 admirers who acquire a aftertaste for gore, atrocity and applesauce in their adopted games. Let Is Die is weird, anecdotal by a skateboarding austere reaper and appearance chiffon weapons that breach generally and Christmas adornment in places about the abstruse and ever-changing belfry it’s set in. But, it’s additionally bigger than expected, abundant actually for a chargeless game.

As we delay agilely on annual about The Elder Scrolls VI, you should booty the time to accord the archetypal The Elder Scrolls II: Daggerfall a try. This 1990s RPG is a forerunner to the iconic ones that came after, and is a bit of a archetypal in its own right.

Its bold apple is abounding times the admeasurement of any of its sequels – actually it’s the admeasurement of a continent, and is actually abounding with atmosphere.

At one time, it was massive in South Korea, but the arena fizzled out a bit aback MOBAs like Alliance of Legends and Dota 2 hit the scene. Maybe that’s why Blizzard absitively to transform Starcraft II to the free-to-play business model.

As a aftereffect of its arresting activity bold mechanics, accumulated with creatively advised environments and a arresting anecdotal that can alone a video bold can tell, Starcraft II is one of the best broadly enjoyed eSports in the absolute world, not to acknowledgment one of the best chargeless games.

Of course, actuality a Blizzard game, you’ll charge a Battle.net annual to admission it. Added than that, both the attack and the multiplayer are chargeless to enjoy. Alone assertive characters charge your admired coin.

The cartoon are appealing acceptable as well; there’s no agnosticism that this is a AAA-level bold that’s alone chargeless as it takes advantage of microtransactions. And, the attack is bigger this time around.

It may be an old vet in gaming terms, but annihilation offers such crazy fun as Aggregation Fortress 2. Clashing best shooters of its age, players in this bold are still there to acquire a acceptable time instead of spitting accusation at newcomers. And, there’s no curtailment of air-conditioned toys to acquire fun with. Infinitely asinine and abundantly fresh, it’s still one of the ballista genre’s kings, free-to-play or not.

In Yu-Gi-Oh Duel Links, you won’t aloof acquire admission to the titular agenda bold competitively online.  You’ll additionally get to comedy adjoin AI opponents authentic by actors from the anime. There are a lot of microtransactions actuality – you can buy new cards – but it’s a CCG in 2020, so there’s no absolute way about that. Be able to absorb some cash.

Command an army of Witchers, sorcerers, knights and alike monsters, and advance them to an ballsy battle, application what abroad but the cards you’re dealt with. This is a agenda game, afterwards all. Originally a bold central The Witcher 3: Agrarian Hunt, Gwent has acquired into a standalone aftereffect of the berserk accepted fantasy game.

You comedy adjoin added players online in rounds, and to win ceremony round, you charge to accretion added credibility than your opponent. The amateur that wins two out of three circuit comes out the victor.

Clashing added MMOs on this annual and alfresco it, DC Cosmos Online is meant to be abundant added alternate while additionally befitting acceptable MMORPG elements such as leveling, raiding, inventories and post-game progression. It’s additionally attainable application real-world bill too, which is why it has our best chargeless amateur vote.

It’s not difficult to see why Paladins gets a lot of affliction because its similarities to Overwatch. At the aforementioned time, the team-based ballista is additionally actually altered from that of Blizzard’s. Abilities are upgraded based on a collectible agenda system, and can actually change the way ceremony appearance plays.

What’s more, clashing Overwatch, Paladins is actually free-to-play. While corrective items are attainable to buy application real-world currency, aggregate abroad can be apart aloof by playing.

Much like the PES Lites afore it, Pro Change Soccer 2019 Lite is the added bare bottomward adaptation of Pro Change Soccer 2019, and it’s heavily absorption on Konami’s fantasy football mode. It gives you complete admission of myClub mode, in fact. However, you additionally acquire admission to offline exhibition matches, accomplishment training and 1v1 or Address competitions.

When it was aboriginal released, Pokemon Go took the apple by storm. Not aloof the gaming world, apperception you, but the blow of the citizenry that had to accord with adolescence and developed association bushing the streets in the coursing for those ambiguous allegorical Pokemon.

After all, annihilation was added agitative that communicable a Pokemon in the absolute wild. Unfortunately for Niantic, the aberration died down, and appreciably too, as the bold got a bit monotonous. 

Still, a lot can be said about a bold that had about everyone, alike non-Pokemon players, clocking in a lot of accomplish aloof to bolt and alternation non-existing creatures. Pokemon Go is actually endless of fun; now, it aloof needs to get to its abutting evolution.

As a chargeless MMO, Neverwinter sets the bar aerial for itself as it’s based on conceivably the best iconic role-playing bold of all-time, Dungeons & Dragons.

Touting eight appearance classes with groups of up to bristles players supported, Neverwinter is based on the fourth-edition rules of Dungeons & Dragons. However, the rules are somewhat different, as it allows players to alleviate their allies in accession to acceptance for the use of appropriate abilities in activity afterwards cutting up abundant activity points.

Affray modding community, who says he developed Doki Doki Literature Club because of his alienation arise anime.

It’s ironic, because that the capital appearance in Doki Doki Literature Club is captivated by anime and manga, and has basal acquaintance with the writings of added celebrated authors. As arresting as the leash of changeable acknowledging characters arise to be in Doki Doki Literature Club, we would admonish adjoin accepting too absorbed to them.

Without abasement the story, the aboriginal affair you see aback you cossack up Doki Doki Literature Club is a agreeable warning, advertence that those with astringent all-overs should accede NOT playing. It’s not actually unfounded, as you’re assertive to apprentice the adamantine way that Doki Doki Literature Club is added abhorrence than all-encompassing fan service.

For about 15 years now, Puzzle Pirates has been a domiciliary name for kids with able admission to the computer labs at school.

The accommodate was shelved in 2016, but Microsoft still capital to animate the band archetypal one-off. And turns out, the aggregation did so with a remaster, instead of a remake.

Skeptics will be quick to analyze Fable Fortune to Hearthstone.

Hyper Scape is Ubisoft’s Fast-Paced, Streamlined Take on Battle Royale

July 2, 2020 2:15 PM EST

Hyper Scape is a bite-sized battle royale experience that manages to reach the same highs as its competitors without so many unneeded systems.

Look, I get it. You probably saw this headline, proceeded to roll your eyes, and ask, “Do we really need another battle royale shooter right now?” And I completely understand that sentiment, because I felt the same way less than a week ago.

Late Friday, Ubisoft invited us to try out Hyper Scape, the publisher’s new first-person foray into the battle royale genre. Going into the preview event, I had no knowledge of what I was going to be playing. All I knew was that it was going to be a shooter, which led me to believe I’d be playing a demo for Far Cry 6, to be honest. But when I found out that Hyper Scape was instead a multiplayer battle royale game, I immediately had my doubts. A little more than three hours of gameplay later, and I have to say that I’m pleasantly surprised by what Ubisoft has cobbled together to help set itself apart from the competition.

Hyper Scape is a first-person battle royale game set in a futuristic city known as Neo-Arcadia. Boasting up to 100 different players, the game features a layout that is more vertically built out rather than featuring vast, empty landscapes. In typical battle royale fashion, as the game progresses the areas of the map that are accessible will begin to shrink, bringing all players closer together until only one team remains.

While many other mainstays in the genre might see action being sparse until the map begins to narrow, Hyper Scape‘s greatest benefit, at least based on my own time with the game, comes with just how action-heavy it is. By comparison, Hyper Scape offers a much tighter battle royale experience, both in terms of map size and overall game length. Where a match of something like Call of Duty: Warzone might take up to 30-minutes to complete, Hyper Scape bouts last more in the area of 15-minutes, which is extremely refreshing. If you’re used to trying to hide in a building and wait for zones to collapse on you to win battle royale games, Hyper Scape will make you buck that trend quickly.

To force players to be even more combat-focused, Hyper Scape‘s primary game mode sees a crown spawning once a match is reaching its end. If someone picks up this crown, they can then secure victory for their squad if they hold it for 45-seconds without dying. Conversely, if no team holds the crown for this period of time, the winner is logically determined by the last team standing. The crown-holder will also be revealed to all remaining players, meaning that many teams will start to naturally descend on the same area that this player resides in. The final seconds of each game that I played turned out to be incredibly hectic, but in the best way.

In addition to just being a far more focused battle royale experience, Hyper Scape also streamlines the looting aspects of the genre, too. Rather than trying to find needless attachments or weapons of varying power levels, Ubisoft has chosen to go in a direction that allows you to quickly upgrade everything that you might find lying about. Essentially, if you were to stumble across a shotgun in Hyper Scape and equipped it only to find another shotgun lying around in another part of the map soon after, you can then merge these together to create a more powerful version of the gun. Each weapon has four upgrade tiers of this kind, with general improvements for each gun taking the form of increased damage or higher magazine sizes.

This system extends to Hacks, as well, which is Hyper Scape‘s version of unique abilities that you can utilize. Of the 9 Hacks that are found within the game, you can equip two at any given time. Some of these abilities allow you to drop healing zones for your team, teleport, turn invisible, or even create walls out of thin air to create distance between yourself and other players. Upgraded versions of Hacks typically result in lower cooldown times, allowing you to use them even more frequently throughout a match.

The more that I played Hyper Scape, the more I really started to enjoy finding different combinations of Hacks and weapons that synergized well with one another. In some matches, I’d utilize the Slam ability–which essentially allows you to soar high into the sky and come crashing down on opponents–in tandem with a close-range gun like the shotgun to get right on top of other players. Other times, I found that turning invisible and sticking to the rooftops with a sniper let me get the drop on enemies from further away.

Surprisingly though, I didn’t really find that any one set of guns or Hacks ended up being more powerful than any other. Each loadout that you might run with has its own benefits and drawbacks, meaning that you can really try to find a setup that fits your own playstyle.

By far the most interesting feature of Hyper Scape comes with how the game has been built with streaming in mind. Ubisoft says that they want this game to be just as much of a spectator title as they do one that players return to over time. As such, Hyper Scape features some unique Twitch integration that lets viewers take part in a match while also earning progress in their own battle pass just by watching.

At certain points in a match of Hyper Scape, events will take place for a short period of time that will bring about modifiers to the entire world. Some of these different events include unlimited ammo, while others will enable zero-gravity. If you’re a viewer who is watching a certain streamer play Hyper Scape, then when it comes time for these events to occur, you as a viewer will be able to vote on which one you’d like to see transpire in-game. I have yet to see how this integration will work directly given that my own demo of the game was done in private, but the idea sounds novel on paper.

Will Hyper Scape be able to take on the titans of the battle royale genre in Fortnite, Apex Legends, and Call of Duty: Warzone? Honestly, I have no idea. Whether the game ends up being a rousing success or not remains to be seen, but at the very least, I appreciate that Ubisoft is trying to offer something different in this subgenre. Rather than trying to take the game in a “bigger is better” direction, Hyper Scape is far more focused on giving you the best elements of what battle royale has to offer without all of the surrounding fluff. And for me, that might just make me more inclined to return to it more frequently in the future.

Hyper Scape is set to be a free-to-play game once it releases down the road. For now, it is available in a limited-time technical test phase on PC until July 7.

Mixer made headlines as the service managed to pick Ninja to stream on it. Ninja was the golden hen for Twitch as he managed to rack up over 30K viewers at once on the streaming platform. However, earlier this year, Ninja decided to leave the platform as he stated that he wants to return to his roots. This lead to him joining the Microsoft-owned platform, Mixer.

Now Michael Grzesiek, aka Shroud, is joining him after leaving the Amazon–owned service. Shroud first made a name for himself as a pro-Counter-Strike player. The streamer is renowned globally for his reflexes and proficiency in both short and long-range fights.  Shroud jokingly said that he is making moves, which somewhat reminisced the same words as Ninja.

Shroud is also known worldwide for his Apex Legends and PUBG gameplays, where he even holds some records for himself. A viral video of Shroud killing 8 players in a matter of 30 seconds in PUBG went viral, and the gaming sensation made a place in every gamer’s heart.

Michael (Shroud) did not say anything regarding Ninja influencing his decision to leave. Even his legal team denied sharing any financial details, either. Shroud stated that this step would allow him to focus more on gaming and directly engaging with his audience.

The situation is like a dream come true for Mixer as the service manages to take in big names like Shroud and Ninja. Even though Ninja is only racking up half the views he got on Twitch, a watching of 15K on a newly launched platform is not half bad.

Things could go south for Twitch if several big names like DrDisrespect, Jut9n, Lurn, or chocoTaco decide to switch the platforms. The move by Shroud is definitely surprising as the streamer stated his eagerness to capitalize on Twitch after Ninja leaving. However, this move is evidence that Twitch’s bond with its star streamers is not as strong as it looks.

Mixer is still a work-in-progress on some levels and severely behind Twitch on performance level. Mixer managed to score over 3 million views in August while the numbers for Twitch went up to 932million. The stats go to show the service’s dominance on the market, but it remains to see how long things will stay the same.
