Arena shooters

>Battle Royale has replaced the arena shooter.
Only due to circumstance. The God play for Diabotical would have been too convince Epic to let them turn it into Fortnite Arena, kept the gameplay exactly the same but allowed you to use Fortnite skins and earn battle pass credit by playing out instead of Fortnite.
AFPS would have shot up to the top and stayed there.

Diabotical is pretty darn good, but i still prefer the other game.

There's no pleasing you faggots. Like he said, any excuse to not pay them.

It's that coupled with the attitute of "Fucking kill that newbie, make him as miserable as possible"

>The game would have been popular if you tricked people into thinking it was fortnite.
Ah ok then.

Yeah the genre is never going to recover. I loved quake champions and played a ton of it but it's unusable now. Diabotical is going to be the same story as all the rest. It's sad but whatever there's nothing I can do. I'm reasonably happy to play dota instead.

So basically the way I'm reading this, if you want to make a serious Arena FPS the best thing to do is make whatever the fuck you want and not worry about "muh quake 3" or "muh Unreal Tournament"?

Yes.

>release a game in a nowadays niche genre
>on the fucking epic gamestore

Maps were meh for the most part, multiplayer modes are boring, only really good mode is 1v1. Then theres the other fundamental problem that made me quit playing 2 days in. The audiovisual style is underwhelming. Theres no visceral satisfaction blowing up a cartoon robot ball. The guns dont sound like anything, neither do the deaths. If they insist on there not being any gore, then at least the robot balls should send gears and metal parts flying all across the room on death, instead of just disappearing behind a short 2D animation sprite of a bursting flame.

Dammit that guy was a moron

Whats the difference. QC released on Bethesda/steam launcher. Same shit.

Turok Rage Wars >> UT3 >>>>>>>>>>>> Rest of Your Shit

I just want a 10-20 GB cod clone with killstreaks, not touching the 200 GB nu-cod games.

I'd be happy if they just spiced up the gunfeel. Make it chunkier, meatier more like it has material. Neither sounds nor animations give a sense of physicality. They feel like nerfguns.

>Was TotalBiscuit right all along?
Obviously. Arenafags just want internet cool kid cred, they don't actually want to play arena shooter. Who does? Shit's bland as fuck, battle royales do almost everything arena shooters do while being much more interesting.

Sovietsky Sojuz?

What options are he referring to exactly?

Him telling someone to get cancer and die and then dying to cancer himself is still the greatest BTFO that has happened to any vidya e-"celeb"

Post yfw you're not totalbiscuit

He was unironically right, the normie audience has spoken and nobody wants true arena shooters because they have a stupidly high skill ceiling that allows veterans to endlessly shit on noobs.

>Arena shooters suffer the same issue as the fighting game genre. If you don't git gud you get fucking rolled.
Yet BRs are the currently most popular genre, and the same goes for them. In fact of you die once, you're out, you wasted the whole 30 minute match, BRs are even less forgiving than arena shooters.

The "SCRUBS dont want to play HARDCORE shooters where you have to GIT GUD!" is just small dick arenafag not-so-subtle boasting about how skilled and hardcore they are compared to "scrubs" (everyone but them).
Could you repeat that in English?

>make a barebones arena shooter with zero substance in an effort to be as *PURE* as possible
>nobody plays it
Wow, it's almost if those games were popular because it felt cool getting 21 kills in a row while a sexy voice has an orgasm describing your gamer skill while dual wielding two plasma railguns

treating Arena FPS like it's mlg chess is why it's dead, moron devs

the real irony here is that all these HARDCORE FPS GAYMERS get filtered hard by the mechanics of fortnite when they get rolled incessantly by autistic 14y/os

just get a hard drive bro they're not that expensive

He is right, just look at the player count of MCC on PC, if any arena FPS in the modern era had the best chance of succeeding on PC it was that one.
>b-b-but classic halo is not an arena shooter
It's far more of a traditional arena shooter than many other games people call arena shooters.

But BR has the atractiveness of playing lottery. You pull the arm to see where and what drops you get to fight with. You have the gambling aspect, you have the day'z aspect, you have the relatively medium game length aspect without it being a repetition game, like a an average multiplayer combat game is and you have the little skill requirements aspect. Its a perfect blend of no time investment needed.

How about you read the rest of that post, dipshit. There's no need to git gud in BRs because they have a huge community and therefore variance in skill level to accomodate new and vet players.

user kill yourself your brain damage is not curable.

Of course he was right.

The people complaining about the death of Arena shooters don't actually play Arena shooters, they're just played UT at their friend's house one time when they were 13 and now pretend to be hardcore old-school FPS players for imaginary nerd cred.
