That’s pretty much how I feel about valorant haha never played a game where any auto fire resulted in a literal circle of spread. Really hoping the next installment brings it back.

I think I might know what you mean by DEI? Could be wrong though. Overall, its a solid game IF you enjoy games like Valorant. It's the same exact gameplay loop with the same TTK mechanics. I don't personally enjoy it myself but at least it's not poorly made.

@@scrimgaming DEI (aka Didn´t Earned It/ Doesn´t Earn Income) is stuff like: pushing "strong women" everyone being people of color and if they´re white they get wimped or a mask on like in this case. The art style is a typical DEI style and just that will put gamers of in droves while not even being the biggest problem: ANOTHER ONLINE HERO SHOOTER? Who you want to steal players from? Fortnite, Overwatch, Valorant, CoD maybe? Noone is asking for another Hero Shooter and who is playing those games won´t quit and who isn´t will never play those games. Shroud should detach his name from that game unless he wants to be linked to a massive fail because that´s what this game is going to end up as. There is no new or modern audience for hero shooters and at this point they won´t convice anyone to quit the one they´re playing for years already, the hero shooters for this year are also failing for that simple reason: the total market is reached and the few new players will join the already popular games.

Ahhh ok I thought it was like “diversity, exclusivity, and inclusion” lol similar vein I guess. Yeah I mean, those games already have such established players bases and competitive scenes it’s really tough to establish yourself In the space. Fragpunk was in beta recently and I actually really enjoyed that game a lot but it’s definitely unique in comparison to the “hyper-skilled” formula games like valorant and counter strike follow. Spectre isn my cup of tea personally but i guess it remains to be seen where it goes. Hard to climb to the foothold the others in its space already have for sure.

@@scrimgaming DEI does mean Diversity, Equity Inclusion leading to Didn´t Earned It hires resulting into Doesn´t Earn Income products 😂 It´s also not my cup of tea but according to many different UA-camrs who have good oversight (looking at data and their comment section) Hero Shooter alone is putting gamers of now. The other projects with more direct involvement seem very promising despite I don´t play online shooters anymore and that seems the focus to be, it looks like someone who really loves those type of game is leading the team. I´ve played those type for years and the others look like having a more clear and explicit direction suited for online shooters.

Gotcha Gotcha lol im seeing what youre saying now. And yeah, i hope something positive comes from them. At the very least they are going to help push the industry and genre forward. AAA shooters have been struggling for a while now. Gamers making games will hopefully be a good thing with the backing some of these projects have. Im a shooter fan at heart but ive been expanding out recently, especially doing a 31 day challenge on twitch 😅

Hard to believe it’s only been a year. Feel like I heard about that game years ago. I’m sure I said 2 or 3 in the video.

@@scrimgaming yeah it's crazy I really had high hopes for that game. I think I was sick the week it came out so I just got to play it for like 3 days straight and on the third day the daunting realization that the game wasn't very good came crashing down.

Yep, I think a lot of people did, even though im not sure if it’s what people were really wanting from Bethesda. Real bummer. I’ve been wanting to see ES6 for forever now but idk if I should even have high hopes for it.

Haha yea been on UA-cam a little while longer then twitch so we’re getting there. Thanks for checking it out !

i refuse to buy games that dont have a mod community and are actively attacking mod communities

Yeah it’s solid. Still tryna get the hang of it but it’s a good one. Try to snag a code brasi

I’m aware of the handful of studios working on it. How does this relate to where they’ve fallen short and where they need to go ?

Wouldn’t be upset about Bad Company 3 at all. Those were some of the best in the franchise.

BF1 was a great game no argument there. For me, just not gonna be able to get behind a historical way game at this stage of the game. They need to come correct in a modern setting. A BR in battlefield could be a lot of fun. They did it with firestorm but only barely and it was an era shooter. The tech behind battlefield with the scale in a modern world could be amazing. I don’t think Warzone could touch it.

Im not familiar with Foxhole, ill have to look it up.

Greatly appreciate that!

Wasnt it a server issue? I thought they were complaining there for a minute that they didnt have the infrastructure to support it ? Or was it just the way they laid it out in design?

Nah BF1 was a great game, visually awesome too. I just cant get into the historical war era. You are right though, people do still buy COD, i guess its really just a loss of identity, and what it once was, rather than it completely disappearing.

Wasn’t half bad just didn’t suit my taste due to the era and weaponry. Not a big historical war guy myself when it comes to games. There are some bangers tho especially in the indie space.

They definitely sold up the hell out of 2042 so I’m slightly worried about it that’s for sure. Idk would be a crying shame.

@@scrimgaming i think too much damage has been done. No hype on fake trailer, No pre-order on broken early access. i don't beleve them anymore and i stopped playing since bf1.

I feel you. I guess we’ll see. If they don’t come correct I think they’re gonna end up in a Ubisoft situation where they have to decide what’s next for them if anything.

Appreciate that !!

Immersive comment to read. Glad to hear it provided you something positive. I hope it continues to do so. Thanks for providing your pov.

Sure thing and that’s fine. If people enjoy it then great that’s what matters but like said, if we are talking big picture, more time, better practices are needed all around. The current model doesn’t work.

That’s awesome. A 30$ demo. They should have released that first like devs used to do remember ? Before charging anything for the game? Seems like a solid plan. Maybe they’ll have a two to three year road map like Gray Zone does too. Or just stay in beta early access for 9 years like Tarkov. So many possibilities and loop holes around actually completing a product and internally testing it until it’s ready.

@@scrimgaming The upcoming demo is free. The game currently in early access is not. If you don't want to support the devs by purchasing the game while It's early access, It's totally fine. There's upcoming demo is for that if someone wanna try the game and then decide whether to buy it or not. Bro like, no one is forcing you to buy a unfinished product. And It's fun to speculate what's to come, but you and me don't know what's the future of The Forever Winter and Fun studios. If their word to be believed (about being AAA veterans, also being in the industry for decades, and forming up their own studio to avoid big investors' influence and other internal management for artistic freedom), me personally I'm going to be supporting the game and see where It's going. You don't seem to get a lot of watchtime with these havely opinionated views about topics and the tone you're putting. This is not interesting, you sound like the guys who make very hardcore anti-woke videos. you only attract the people who already agree with you. You didn't bring any nuance views or any interesting ideas. According to the video and the responses you made in the comments are kinda unprofessional. The tone is very childish and unmature. I get that if you feel to defend your opinions (with random people on the internet), but if your channel gets bigger, you gonna attract people who behave like you. Well, take care!

At this point I don’t give a shit about the game or who likes and who doesn’t. The point is early access is overall and generally speaking a plague. It doesn’t have anything to do with the forever winter specifically. The same studio that brought the fraud that was the day before is doing it all over again. Case in point of the video. I don’t give a damn about this one single game. And idc what your opinion of my channel is, nor do I care to cater toward anyone else’s opinion as my channel gets bigger. Everyone always has something to say about content creation when they’ve never made nor do they actively make content in any way. My watch time is fine. Well above half way to partner actually. My views are only growing. Idc if one video post pisses people off lol what you and everyone else fails to realize is that it’s doing exactly what it needs to do. Drive engagement. The comments and tone aren’t unprofessional or childish at all. It’s a widely held sentiment around the gaming industry for people who aren’t brainwashed into being delivered a half baked sub par product from idie devs or AAA studios alike. We aren’t going to agree and I don’t care. You don’t have to be a viewer or a sub and I’ll do just fine without you. Just like I don’t have to buy or support the game. And it’ll be just fine because of people like you.

I suppose my expectations are too high.

I gotta give it to you guys man the length of some of these comments is really making me work for it. If the players are the ones pushing the games too early in the cycle then they are just as to blame. That stems from a deeper rooted problem that instant access and consumerism has infected us all with. No one is willing to wait, the devs take advantage of that , we complain , continue to play and pay , the get shit on , close, come back times and repeat it’s not a one factored deal I get that.

Yeah man the brainwashing is deep, very deep at this point. People just flat out dont realize they are being sold a car with three tires, being told "we'll get the 4th one later." and are just ok with it. Its truly sad that they dont understand all the devs have to do is FINISH the damn game. Like thats literally it. Everyone understands games have to be patched an tweaked. Thats not the same thing as a game that is only 20% completed coming to market. Thats just what people have come to accept as normal tho. Its a shame.

Nah, ima keep cooking. You keep eating that McDonalds tho.

​@@scrimgaming Honestly even McDonalds cooks better than you my friend. (only relating to this video, can't speak for your other content)

Alright buddy. It truly is sad to see how people like you are so accepting of what an utter trash fire that Early Access has become but you do you.

@@scrimgaming Releasing an "Early Access" game is completly fine. Even if we ignore the fact that it's peoples own choice to buy something that is marked and stamped with "EARLY ACESS" it's still fine. It gives game studios the ability to be more risky when it comes to development, they know that they have at least made some money on it, and can therefore afford to do more risky things. But then again, no amount of arguments will trump rose-tinted nostalgia of an old man so... kinda i might just be yelling at a wall at this point.

The fact that you think 31 is old is why your generation is the worst we’ve ever had 🤣🤣 Jesus.

lol you're obviously not involved in any aspect of industry news, essays, reviews, articles or ratings. It's sad to see how deep the brainwashing goes. You and diddy is between you and diddy. I hope those 4 videos from 10 years ago start to do well for you 🤣🤣🤣

@@scrimgaming thanks for your review

Doesnt make any sense to me either.

Exactly. Couldn't have said it better myself.

I blame Both Developer and Costumer of FW, The Dev Wanted it Too cook more or Finished it First but there is People Demanded to Early Access, and The Dev listen Their Costumer for it

Yeah it’s not a single point of failure. Lots of variables at play.

100% that, or at the very least, the quality at which they release drastically rises.

lol 8k players? That’s basically a high school pep rally 🤣🤣 yeah they are really killing it…game is an unoptimized mess with a dumbass water mechanic keeping people online.

@@scrimgaming you haven't played it, didn't you

I have played it. It wasnt a pleasant experience. It COULD be great ONE DAY...which is the same recycled story from every EA dev.

​@@scrimgamingyou comparing a small team who needs and is actually using early access to improve a game, to a major company who puts out complete cash grabb garbage.

8k is nothing

Yeah it makes sense they have to acquire capital to continue development, just wish it wasn’t such a widespread problem across the board. It’s almost as if all the tech we have now just made it worse due to accessibility and quicker output when it should have made it better. Consumerism I guess.

Valid points. Well put

I sort of wanted to argue against "the majority of gamers" part, but it differs depending on the business model. Pre-Orders and Pre-Order bonuses/exclusives area cancer and people need to stop buying those. Microtransactions are also a cancer since so many games abuse this model, but it gets supported anyways. Loot boxes only needs a few whales and content creators to be profitable, that's the only place where I would argue that it is "the few" that make this an on going issue.

@@helzwind01 hopefully so 🤞🏼

Really doing numbers with that opinion huh

They really do love discord.

I’m not on the AAA side either. They’ve both largely done a poor job. Battlefield 2024, Modern Warfare 3, Concord, Assassin’s Creed Shadows. The list goes on and on. I’m not taking anything from anyone. We need better standards. Period. Idc who’s making it.

We’ve already significantly passed the point where early access should have been retired as a practice. If creativity wants freedom, the only other factor there is time. That’s the equation. Not release early l, promise a road mad, and try to maintain a trash product.

super tired of indie games. 99% failures with 1% actually being somewhat good and 00.01% being actually good. Steam is full of indie game failures.

Agree to disagree on this one. The vast majority of early access games coming out aren’t worth anything. They are tech demos at best and we are paying the devs to be testers rather than being paid. That’s just my opinion on it.

@@scrimgaming That's essentially what Early Access is about. It's at that state where it's more or less playable but not finished. It's unoptimized, the fundamentals of the game aren't set in stone and it's buggy. Yes, it's more or less a demo - Early Access does not mean "Fully polished and optimized game with maybe a bug or two." It's a disconnect with some players that they see early access and equate that with "Full game release just early!" then get mad about the game being in a barely playable state. No kidding, it's 'early' access. Yes, some indie/small studios release it with the goal of getting feedback over what works, what doesnt, what people like, what people don't as well as other metrics that you can never get with a small test team or by having to fork out money for external play testing that never measures up to the feedback a wide release gives. Not to mention that injection of cash allows those studios to hire additional artists, devs or whatever to also work on the game if that's what they need. It's transactional. Players get to see and play the game as it's being shaped, the studio gets the feedback and some funds early to invest into the game development. The way it's painted by those that just see 'early access' as another steam tag is that the devs are just pushing something out for a cash grab and then bailing. The vast majority of early access releases have not been that way. Satisfactory, Prison Architect, Kerbal Space Program and PUBG are all titles that have come out of early access release. All with varying states of playability. That all said - A large AAA studio shouldn't be doing early access releases. Indie and small studios absolutely due to the limitation of resources they have and the risk they're taking. If a fundamental part of a game isn't received well during early access, it's better for a smaller studio for it be picked up and redone than if they had only realized after a full release. Talking strictly about indie and small studios - They're generally very upfront about what they're giving out and why. It's purely down to the motivation behind the early access release. "Is it a blatant cash grab and they're going to bail?" or is it "They believe in the game and want to get as much feedback as they can while they're still in the development cycle."

I can see your side of it and there is merit in that mentality and practice. My personal stance on it is still firmly rooted in gamers (broadly speaking) having become too accustomed to the practice. I understand completely the logic and rational of it. But just because a group of people can make a game doesn’t mean they should. They certainly should ask money for it. The practice make sense on paper but it’s permeated so far and wide that nearly every game I see a trailer for now, especially shooters at least, is an early access game. It’s a bit too “carry us to the finish line” for my taste. You used to go to the store and buy a game. Maybe it was bad maybe it was good but it was done. And that was it. The game did well or it didn’t. Maybe there was a beta phase maybe not. Now, anyone with a desktop and unreal engine can be a “game developer”. I’m dumbing that down because there are genuinely skilled and passionate teams all over the place but for me, again, it’s a matter of execution. Good points though.

True. Blows my mind how far we've strayed from publishing a COMPLETED product.

Thank you appreciate that alot. I just want us to have good products. Not hopes and dreams. Those are great, and im all for them, but you have to execute the product or it doesnt matter.

@@scrimgaming I agree with you, but I also bought both of the Early Access games that you mentioned to support the creators and ride the wave so to speak. Gray zone is gonna be a cool game, but I won't play it without drastic changes and content. TFW for me is largely about a vibe and atmosphere and art so if I have the base of all that right now I feel like I got what I paid for. That being said I would support them just the same if they let it marinate longer before testing and then released a definitive finished product. We all want in as soon as possible, but our desire and hope disarm us a bit. Keep talking about these things and carrying the conversation I say.

Its a tough balance. As a content creator, I often feel I need to or have to buy these games to stay on top of industry trends and changes. I dont necessarily "hate" doing that, I just wish it wasnt considered the norm across the board. Far too many just dont live up to the hype, not even close quite frankly. Gray Zone was descent. For me, it was basically minecraft with guns when i first booted it as far as visuals. Nearly everything about the game was terrible. Its improved alot, and i by no means have a weak machine but in 2024 that's just not enough. At least for me. I'll still play them and cover them for the sake of informational videos but I genuinely hope the trend shifts. Simply put, I am a firm believer that I should not have to re configure my entire system to play your game. You should wait to release your game until it can run on my system (generally speaking.)

I need them big boi items 💵 💰

Yeah, I do see where you're coming from with that. Their attempt at pushing into the "sc-fi" realm didnt really work out. Like I said in the video, I just dont know what else they can do with it. Same with Apex, big fan of apex, but after 23 seasons its just like, alright, lets maybe start working on something new.

@@scrimgaming true most online shooters suffer from the same problems

Yep. Game Dev is very hard so I get why they'd wanta run with what works for as long as possible. Its just going to eventually phase out an entire generation of gamers.

Valid points for sure. And yessir Delta Force is a good time. Needs some tweaking but overall really good game. Was able to get into the alpha and I definitely enjoyed my time with it. Battlefield is going to have some competition coming their way.

Very insightful. I wonder what the wright spelling would be.
