Live service games didn't really start to boom until Fortnite came out. Now you have battle royales, battle/season passes, and just a crap ton of monetization for almost every f**king shooter. The worse part in all this is this crap is seeping into single player games too 🤮
It's so frustrating because I want this ADHD-fueled marketing and additional purchase incentive to stop.

No one said big budget games were necessary when the purpose of technological advancement is to make current cutting edge tech cheaper and more accessible. I don't need path tracing, I don't need season updates; I just need a complete product form start to finish, that's all.
@@SnailOXD I know all about it i was somewhat hyped before it released they theme and idea of an open world RPG that was about slaying Vamps is what drew me in and i was let down by the lack of content and guns, bugs and things can be fixed but hardly any content killed it. the story line was Wack too, plus it didn't even have cut scenes it had slide shows with a narrator. it really sucked. The idea behind it was awesome though.
@@davidfrazier6308 I wasnt paying too much attention when it came out at first, but as I learned more about it I've become a bit more upset about what this game could have been. But it's so blatantly obvious Arkane didn't want to work on the game
Well, Arkane Austin has been shut down. No more updates, no offline single player. I wonder how long the servers will stay up and then it won't even be playable at all anymore. What a total SHITSHOW
I agree; what's worse is Arkane Austin lost their studio because Zenimaxx said "hey make this game", even when many, many sources reveal Arkane did not want to make it at all. Complete shitshow and I hope the devs can find work soon
I own a Series S and we got it bad with Redfall. Game is broken and ugly. But lord forgive me when i call the XSS a bottle neck when it literally held back BG3 😂
Did it actually hold BG3 back? And BG3 is relatively well optimized. Devs should just stop with the open world stuff, it's not necessary for every game
Live service games are good just gotta be maintained and worked on for YEARS before so u hve backlog content to drip feed and good systems to back it up warframes not tht good but ppl love it. Its still alive by a huge margin
Yeah Live Service Games need an interesting premise and a community; The problem with Redfall is that it's a Live Service Game made by a company known for Single Player. Their core fanbase isn't the type of person interested in live service model, but in good single player experiences.
@@SnailOXD ignorant comment honestly. Stating live service cant be done because its a single player company is massively incoherent to the problem as a whole. If the game was functional itd be good if sony didnt pressure xbox for “EXCLUSIVE COMPETITION” then the game wouldnt have been rushed. This is the problem with the hate for live service game arguements. Yall always state things that arent even accurate or valid concerns or complaints. Complain abt the real problems like the fact that its clearly unfinished. No good cutscenes other then the opening one(WHICH WAS A SICK CUTSCENE NONETHELESS) it seemed like the only good mission was the intro mission in the entire game. How bout a looter shooter with zero ZERO loot. U got the studio behind some of the deepest games ull ever play STATING that the problems in the game ONLY STEM from being a single player game developer is so beyond stupid and ignorant its hilarious.

@@SnailOXD lemme guess i was right. “I really hope the live service game thing starts to die out” u didnt even provide gameplay of u playing the game with ur 80 views on said video i bet u cant even afford it but still decide to trash on it. 💀 get real. Ur opinion doesnt matter and u should stick to ur 9-5 buddy. U dont belong on here. Cya.
@@SnailOXD then why make a video? To slander live service games specifically? Oh wait that is exactly why u made that video :| ur all the same. Thanks for oroving my point.
My friend played this for one day. His friends love it but I was like, "this game is too walky and open-world with nothing in it." There are fans, they exist (never met them though).
It's just hard to believe because these days, when a game sucks it feels like it dies on impact, I do appreciate that they're out there though. I'll say I've become like an ironic fan of the game, kind of like I am with Starfield. I hate the game, so I pay attention to it's news.
My friend's friends were playing it often. It's not for me. Also, you know they have to make everything obvious because people need things to be stated clearly. The kids can't read and media literacy is dead.
@@litda I know it just sucks and I hate it because media-literate adults have to bear the consequences 😔😔 Honestly, anyone who finds this game fun, all the power to them and I hope they get to enjoy it to their hearts content
"play", yes. According to SteamDB, the Steam player numbers have 36 people in game right now, with 71 players for 24h peak. All time high of 11,000 was 11 months ago. They're definitely at least glancing at it in their libraries, that's for sure
I'm so sorry to break that news to you bro 😞 if it's any consolation, there's evidence that strongly suggests Arkhane were told to make it, and they really didn't want to
Trust it or dont, none of my business. It's like you didn't watch it though, because the game showcases that it still has small bugs, horrible combat AI, and a generally empty open world. Why pay $90 for this when I can spend that $90 on anything else? Trust me, if I made any money off UA-cam in any way, Id be uploading a lot more frequently
That’s why I old gamers that were born in the 80s have a little more respect for developers now and new young generation new or if you made video gaming your whole life maybe you could be critics like this because you think you’re better than everybody😂😂😂😂
I just make videos, I'm definitely not better than anyone else, nor is anyone any better than me. It's up to you whether or not you agree with my thoughts, but two questions: 1. What is Scofield???? 2. What makes you think video games haven't been my whole life?
This was an Arkane game without the Arkane charm, give us more creative freedom to do things instead of some live service bull crap.
Agreed, I'm actually really tired with how forced it's becoming. It should be okay to just have stellar single player experiences
Its because it was Arkanes 2nd studio which is not the good one it seems.
70% of the studio left during the development. Very little of Arkane Austin's soul remained. They were probably shutdown, not just because Redfall was underwhelming, but the value of the studio had plummeted.
80% of gamers are 18+ years old. Yet we still have these annoying handholding tutorials. i cant stand them in any game.
THANK YOU!!!!!
FINALLY!!!!!!
Ehhhh tutorials are needed unless its “walk forward” “look around” yenno basic stuff lol

Redfall: When the DEI committee design a video game
Pretty much yeah.
Vampire Boyfriend feels like very thinly veiled Self-Insert fantasy
SBI all over this game.
What do you think? Should I hate-play the rest of Redfall?

@@Keohankevin well it was the first joke to be used in this video
@@jalendb0292Deadfall is the name of another game. Deadfall Adventures, search on Google

TAKE BRUSH YOUR HAIR
Most of the games on game pass are fucking boring
most games in general are, to be honest
This the same studio that made dishonored? My favorite game of all time? Lol
I'm so sorry to break that news to you bro 😞 if it's any consolation, there's evidence that strongly suggests Arkhane were told to make it, and they really didn't want to
im craming!
I'm happy for you or I'm sorry to hear that, whichever fits
I like Redfall
Im very happy for you and I hope you continue to enjoy it
Same, I enjoyed it too. Enough to say I think it's arkanes best game 😂
@@WoodstarForges I prefer the aesthetics of Dishonored, even Deathloop. Redfall has a more ordinary, forgettable appearance.
@@SnailOXD Thanks!
Redfall is the most dreadful game
It sucks really hard, I'm not looking forward to playing it for the 1000 sub special
4:53 Boooooooo, booooooo!
I stg some of you guys don't deserve my dad jokes 😤😤😤
Hater
you're correct, I hated that I spent an hour playing this
dude went into the game knocking it, every aspect of it, it's like they paid you to knock it, dont trust this video at all
