    Thank you so much for looking at Beyond the Wire. To this day, it remains the biggest disappointment in my experience of playing video games. I was extremely passionate about this game and followed the development of it more closely than I have any other game in the past. I've said this before on a previous video of yours, but I'll say it again.
    I was a dev tester for that game and for the longest time, I believed that it was going to be the next big tac shooter on PC. But through a painstaking series of bad decisions including a stupidly high early access price tag, abysmal optimization, lack of a progression system, and a SEVERE lack of marketing, Beyond the Wire met its demise extremely early. The devs didn't lower the price until well after the game died, which was a huge slap in the face to the community- or, what was left of it.
    I think that the "paradox" of dead games is honestly really disheartening; that being if a game is dead, people will stop playing the game and write a negative review for the game citing that the game is dead, which steers away potential new players from buying the game. That's exactly what happened to Beyond the Wire. It was one of my favorite games on Steam, and to see it suffer such a tragic fate was a huge disappointment.

      WW1 shoters were never very popular to begin with, even Verdun/Isonzo that are pretty casual. WW1 just isn't "popular" history like WW2 or Vietnam. Add to that even more realism, which keeps most people away and there is a very small target audience left. But yeah you're right, most the already small potential playerbase is most likely gonna see those videos and titles about a dead game and not bother anymore.

    S! Fellow WWIonline Players! played from 2006 - 2014 everyday, i joined back in from time to time...
    It comes a bit short in this video that... well its mainly a "hardcore"war sim, so if you are expecting to go into the easy action like in Call of Duty, this game is not for you. Your have to make your own missions, your own strategy kind of.
    You have to use your equipment right, just because you are in a PanzerIII doesnt mean that you can take a fight with a Churchill tank. Whicht version of PanzerIII are you in, which version of Churchill may it be? how far is the enemie away? at whicht angle you are firing at him? can your bullet even penetrate his armor in this certain situation. A lot of time in this game is walking/drving/flying. Looking for the enemie and really shooting at him... that takes a lot of time and setup, but when you shoot and hit, its an adrenaline rush like no other.
    I spend 90% of my playtime in the air, because the dogfihts and the bombing runs were just awesome. I had to learn to fly every single aircraft, had different setups for them, and i even read books about air combat to be better at it, and it helped. But you still need to start your plane at an aerodrome behind the frontline, gain altitude, get to the city where the fight is, and search for enemy aircrafts. And sometimes while doing this, the enemie spotted you first, dived on you and shoots you out of the sky. This game is certainly not for everyone But with a game who only has other players as enemies and teammates, the fewer people are playing it, the more it dies.
    And with the devs not listening to their playerbase for years, not fixing certain things, developing the game to make it more like an arcade shooter, surely didnt help.
    tl:dr its a war sim game, it has a hard entry point and you have to learn a lot of things the hard way and die a lot of times. This game is not easy to play. But when you learned it, its unique and fun like no other game out there.

    Blackwater used to have a huge community. It was awesome and terrifying to see a full barrage of cannons go off and watch your ship explode. The voice lines are also the best. My issue was the terrible ranking system and eventual addition of bots. U had no reason to play and the game soon died.

    I’m out of the loop on what’s popular, so this series is helping me avoid some dead games (many of which I’d probably like). I did play Beyond the Wire when it was new, but I was pretty terrible at it. Steam still tries to recommend Blackwake to me, probably because it’s similar to Holdfast, which I played constantly a year or so ago. Most recently I tried (and enjoyed) PUBG, but the level disparity was brutal. It’s no fun being level 12 and continually coming up against guys at level 250+.

    You might try Killing Floor 1 or 2.
    KF1 is PC only, but KF2 is on Xbox gamepass.
    It's actually a very well designed wave survival game, and they recently dropped a pretty nice and very unexpected update alongside announcing a third installment. (Although the update kind of broke the game)
    And, if you think it might be interesting for your channel, my sister and I could show you the cool stuff and teach you the game.

    As an older gamer, it's really nice to see some of these old school communities still around. I've binged a ton of your videos today whilst working and you've earned my sub. I wonder if you've covered Dungeons & Dragons Online? Or City of Heroes? Or SA:MP? No idea what state D&DO is these days but I know the COH community got some private servers going after the game was taken down years back. D&DO is what it sounds like, an MMORPG in the realm of D&D, pretty good and City of Heroes is another fun MMORPG where you can build your own hero or villain and was a fantastic community back in the day and still now, or so I've heard. SA:MP (A multiplayer mod for GTA Saan Andreas) has had a healthy roleplay community for many years and one of the old DM servers, Las Venturas Playground was my first taste of online gaming. If you've covered these already then I am sure I will get around to the video eventually, otherwise would be great to see you cover two old games that I used to play.

    This is so wholesome. I recently got back into playing custom servers on Neverwinter Nights and it blew my mind that there were still groups of people playing on them twenty years later and just over a decade from when I played last time. I've noticed that folks there are far friendlier than in popular modern games and go out of their way to help you out (to grow their community, but also because they genuinely love playing those games).

  • @CODA96

    Its a bit sad seeing those games die. Similiar when you boot up an old CS:GO or GMOD Map and just play alone, its a creepy feeling. I remember H1Z1 exploded back then. Sadly the market is oversaturated with shooters and survival/Battle royale Games right now, so its only natural they would die out.

    hey rye, starting off I came across your channel a few weeks ago, brings back nostalgia with the music choices and the games you play. Kinda shocked you played BCoF, being such a niche game, I recommend playing commander battles since thats where that came shines, its a little difficult to first learn since they use the command F1-F10 keys to issue orders to your troops, if you want some fellas to teach ya me and a few friends would be down :)

    Take some of these games and do community games with more. Like blackwake for example.

    I'm a member of BR1. it's been a while since I played but we used to seed a few servers and sometimes it could pop a couple 100 people. We would organize events and even if it was only like 20 to 30 people we'd still have combat over closer quarters...and of course when you got a full lobby which did happen at one point things just really come together. Game is definitely a gem.

    Back in 2016, Blackwake used to be a great tactical team-based competitive game with not large but stable community. The game was really fun in its classic naval 3v3 combat without bots, forts and some cheap stuff the devs inplemented to make the game easier for new players. These changes made the game unchallenging and less skill based. It was one of my favourite games and I miss those times
