Radical Heights

Heh, and here I am asking them to take it further.

I felt like the gameplay feels incredibly solid, and in the end, that’s what sells the game for me. The hitboxes just feel… great. As if I were playing a local game, even. It serves as a great break from my usual game…

I looked at the steam page for it last night and it was at 29% mostly negative, now, about 12 hours later it’s at 49% mixed. In the most helpful section, for me it’s showing 9 of the 10 reviews as positive That’s a big turnaround in a very short amount of time, seems dodgy to me.

I think some people really overestimate how much gamers care about Cliff B, most don’t even know his name let alone care enough about the type of person he is. If he makes a good game they will be happy if he makes a shit game they will be angry. It’s that simple.

I disagree, they just made a large publicity event for the game and allowed people to actually play it. The initial reaction when people just saw the game on the store front was largely negative but once people actually tried it out they seemed to find it at least reasonably decent, as you can see in this thread as well. The swing in steam impressions seem to mirror that and makes sense to me.

If you have like 10 mins. I feel like this is at least kinda relevent to the topic, the Lawbreakers barely-lived lifespan and why Cliffy comes off as pretty douchy to people.

Also this editing. :ok_hand:

watched shroud shred ppl on it last night, and he was rly positive about the game though (edit: Grimmmz too)

both him and grimmmz are sure some of the players are bots too, not that there’s anything wrong with that till they get enough players i guess

gonna give this game a try, lol. I already uninstalled pubg a while ago cuz it wasn’t optimized and is kinda boring too, and i don’t rly wanna play fortnite that much cuz it focuses on building too much, not that that’s a bad thing, but i don’t want to invest that much time learning to get good at that rly, so this game might give me what i want from a BR; we’ll see

I’m not ever going to play this, but I will campaign endlessly for this to be played on repeat whenever you’re actually involved in combat -

So I ended up trying the game for a bit… aaaand it’s definitely in alpha/early access. It needs a lot of optimization and a lot of (> 6 months at least, which is optimistic) worth of polish before it’s ready to compete with any battle royale game.

I don’t think I’d suggest this to anyone right now. I can certainly tell what they were going for with kind of that futuristic and old school aesthetic and that’s cool, but the game itself comes across a bit janky feeling.

To be fair to them, they launched it in early access so that should be expected. However, these days being in EA no longer means you are immune to criticism especially if you are charging money for things in the game already.

Probably a bad time for fortnite to be having server problems.

Fortnite won’t suffer from it; it might help Radical a bit y, especially since Ninja has to play it now, lol. However, Ninja said that apparently Fortnite is getting DDoS, which is a bit suspect, lol.

The thing is, u’d expect Radical’s player count to go through the roof at this very moment, but it’s rly not, it’s at 8k

It could just be a hater of fortnite that is ddosing the servers, I don’t think people over at Boss key would ever do a thing like that or maybe it could be a pubg player who wants people to play pubg after all there was a PUBG ransomware earlier this week that tryed to get people to start playing it again.

Maybe pubg players should stop worrying about fortnite since pubg 2.0 is being made lol

Man that game looks nice now i want to play it, might check it out. But i have a feeling if it gains more traction PUBG might try to sue them. Edit: well it turns out ROE is owned or partnered by PUBG’s Parent company Blue Hole so if thats true that means they wouldnt sue them then.

Speaking of suing you should check out this video. The company pugb is suing is trying to sue another mobile br company because of the pubg lawsuit lol
