What’s your favorite “DEAD” game?
cool
titanfall 2
Splitgate
Hyperspace:(
Hyperscape :(
Titanfall 2 was and still is goated. It's a shame it ended this way 😭
(Edit: Nvm they fixed the servers. LESSSSSS GOOOOO)
FR
It's all respawns fault
Titan fall Two is still alive just the servers suck
Titanfall 2 is still very much alive, just the base servers are shit. You need Northstar for it to work.
@@Its_MTG dead, nothing can beat vanilla. Northstar doesnt feel the same
I loved spellbreak, the endless combinations of abilities and how you could use those utilities not just for attacking people but for movement was really fun, one of my most favourite games of all time.
I agree it’s so sad that it got shut down
All great games that do something slightly different come to an end. People want basic ass bullshit like COD and Fortnite.
@@ssjabroni well fortnite was different, that’s what made it so popular
@@FourthWig Fortnite lame and sleepy imo
@@ssjabroni yeah I agree but it had a very unique element that was appealing to a lot of ppl
Both TF2s (Team Fortress 2 and Titanfall 2) I feel as long as their owners don't somehow go out of their way to scrub it from existence, it will be the most scraping by dead games, because I know how passionate people are for both of them, considering I am a player of both of them.
Both of them not S tier, but GOD tier
As I’m a player of both of them too
Fun thing is it may not look like it but Team Fortess 2 is one of the most played games in steam I think at one point it had 70000 concurrent players buts it’s all because of the community
tf2 is not dead yet (team fortress 2)
overwatch is dead. but not tf2
@@spyassassin9382 overwatch 2 isn’t even dead what?
@@jimmythefish796 did i put a 2 next to overwatch love ?
Spellbreak deserved so much more of a spotlight in gaming. such a damn good game and they cared about the community as well. art style and combat was awesome and unique with a play style for everyone. I was so damn good with that wind main fire off combo. it will be missed.
I really love SB but game didn't get any major updates that could keep the game fresh. That's why its servers shut down
Facts I remember hearing about the game and wanted to play so bad finally got it and then it just dies randomly.
its discontinued
I was so close to buying a skin from farming but waiting for a new game took about 15 to 45 munutes, when queing with friends it was faster, it was the first game i played on pc
The only battle royale asides from Warzone 2 that got my first official BR win, I'll forever hold Spellbreak close to my heart
Most games died but splitgate and titanfall were supernovas. They exploded in a fiery great death and let new games have a great path.
There isn’t a better way to say it
💀splitgate?
Splitgate and titanfall are not in the same tier
@@frado9194 you're right... Titanfall is S tier and Splitgate is A++
@@sofla1rr you can meme it but splitgate got released by an indie studio and they made a better multiplayer halo game than 345 has ever made
I was with Spellbreak since its Alpha stage, and to see such a fun and unique BR just slowly wither away was heartbreaking. I really hope we see another game like it soon
I had high hopes for spell break. I'm sad that it died I loved it.
My friend and I got it the day it released and we were so excited to be "ogs" on a new upcoming game, sad to see it go too
@@SirSwordfish I got it shortly after Macro made his video on it. I got a few friends to try it but I mostly played solo. Really want the game to make a comeback
@@ItsHealz me too my brother me too
I loved it to but it needed better graphics
@@WhatsBrooklyn The graphics where good imo. Gave it a solid old feeling which was fitting
I’m genuinely so sad that titanfall 2 is considered dead. One of the best games of all time imo
Straight truth.
It is my favorite game and I don’t think mwII can even top it. Just too good 😔
Fr
I agree, my favorite game of all time as well
dead game is basically game that dont get update anymore
"beating Pokemon is walking up a skyscraper"
Palworld: are you challenging me?
I just saw the video when he said that about Pokémon I instantly thought of palworld
Wait for palworld to update a bunch first, if the devs shit the bed it's over. (I believe in them though!)
@@Zwxf Same broo
its dead
@@h0ckey975 one month of no new content kills games real fast
Spellbreak broke my heart. Definitely deserved better :(
100% Agree with u man
Dude, same. I loved that game, and just for it to end was depressing.
They nerfed toxic, they deserved it.
How dare they remove the cloud dash.
There is a community version where you can host servers but sadly its only for pc
One of the only game I was good at
Spellbreak had tons of potential, lots of skins couldve been made same with updates. There are so many things you can come up with to add into a game like spellbreak, infinite amounts of gamemodes, map changes, new gauntlets, new elemental reactions and lots more. I was obsessed with the game when i played it, it was a ton of fun, for me personally its in the 2nd spot on my battle royale tierlist, really sad it died.
Loved that game
the issue with the gautlets is that each one is suposed to represent a gun ex:toxic for shotgun, wind for ar etc. but they cant market that many guns. there's also the elemental limitation since there isnt many elements that they could use. the game i feel could have continued if they added new runes or something but thats pretty much all they could do
@@RyS4n or add new reactions if adding new element was to complicated
@@XChara01 tru tru
The main thing in my opinion that’s ruining Pokémon is the NPC’s. Sword and Shield was good because the npc’s mostly aren’t annoying. Hop was good because throwing in one good Npc like a goofy one is good but in Scarlet and Violet the NPC’s are terrible all of them are just awful because having that girl ( Ihaven’t played Violet in a while. Nothing against women) She was sooooo annoying. I remember playing with my friends and remember being so annoyed whenever an Npc walked over. The concept is good and Greninja is in the game but the NPC’s ruined it. Also going to school to actually progress was an awful gross idea. When I come home from school I don’t wanna see it till tomorrow.
Knockout city was so good and never understood why people werent playing that much, game is so fun with friends, ranked, cosemtics, skill, reflexes. A really cool game that didn't hit the spotlight he needed. I will have a great memory of this game
Probably because the game just looks terrible
That's exactly why I never played it
Looked mid and still ran like trash
Cap. Yur prolly jus bad at it
It was pretty ugly, but damn the gameplay felt great since it’s like a parrying trainer.
I liked it and played it during free trial but didnt like it enough to justify spending money right away. Maybe if it was free I would buy something down the line but idk, I would definitely play it for free tho
I want to go to the timeline where we get Titanfall 3 and more of this game , it is amazing
titanfall 2 is amazing and a top 3 FPS ever and was head of its time
Respawn keeps teasing that a TF3 is coming, so don’t lose hope
TitanFall 3 is a real game.
I legit hope they dont work on Titanfall 3 because I dont think the current Respawn/EA is able to produce a good tf3 right now. If they release tf3 with their current team/marketing strategy it would be an unfinished mess pumped with microtransactions and that would kill of the franchise pretty hard
@@t1z3l40 fuck it, I don’t care if they make all the cosmetics microtransactions, so long as I get my gun and get to go through the old gameplay loop but with actual matchmaking. If someone can do something to make it explode in popularity again, I think there’s hope
HyperScape, Rogue Company, and SplitGate were such AMAZING games the 3 were the only games that I would go to for casual play all of them were unique in their own way.
sad to see it's playerbase fallshort
They were all trash
i genuinely love rogue company, i think the third person advantage of looking around corners is actually great. it means (at a high level obviously, which i play a good amount of ranked) you can’t just run around and run and gun, you have to be strategic. if you think someone might be behind a corner you can run out really quick and roll back, and usually they’ll think you’re just running out and try and shoot you, and then you know where they are, i genuinely love the game. the worst thing for me is teammates. even in ranked modes i get teammates who look like they’ve never touched a game in their life. i think it’s great though, same for hyperscape, such cool ideas and high skill ceiling, but it WAS very easy to win and get a lot of kills if you knew how to use the abilities well against newer players. splitgate was a weird one for me. it was cool, the portals idea was so awesome but the gameplay was just mid to me. felt like halo with portals, which i didn’t care for how halo’s pvp system worked, so i didn’t care to play it much, but thought the idea was very cool.
@@yballaw2714beautiful comment, coming from a rogue player!
I sunk like 200 hours in Rogue Company, it was kinda my guilty pleasure considering barely anyone played it. It was fun playing it on and off for a while, until it got super boring for some reason. My favourite "dead" game for sure.
I had a ton of fun on it too until I started playing ranked, I got to one of the highest ranks and the game turned into a one shot simulator with people only using grenades, c4 and weapon throws with very very few kills with guns, that’s when it got boring for me 😂
game kinda turned into a crouch baiting game, i loved it so much. And played so many hours of it, but as the years go on. Theres not any actually "fighting, or gun fights" its just a "wait behind cover" game and spray someone down, in which they cant react and die. Granted, it is a bomb planting game.. still it's 3rd person. People could've done more lol, kinda feels like it died due to player base.
I still play it
I still play rogue company all the time! :D
The matchmaking in the game is horrible and theres cheaters everywhere. I just wish they didnt give up on the game
It's a shame that nobody remembers GIGANTIC. Wildly creative take on the MOBA formula, with a phenomenal cast of characters and amazing gameplay. By far the coolest MOBA on the market, and the only one I genuinely enjoyed playing.
You just unlocked a memory I don't even know I had I remember I always used to go to Microsofts store just to play the game while my mom was shopping . Don't know if it's the nostalgia speaking or what but from what I remember it was An amazing game with great potential
Gigantic was literally like one of the only MOBA's that i liked i miss it so much lol
I was literally just thinking of this game I used to always play the karate frog dude 😭😭😭
This vid is the most Zoomer tier list I have ever seen. Not just missing Gigantic, but wheres my Firefall, Blacklight Retribution, Dirty Bomb, Evolve, and even Battleborne. So much games that I have fond memories of, all buried by time.
I was so pissed when they shut down the servers
I watched a video essay semi recently that went into detail on why Spellbreak died and it's honestly kinda sad. I loved the game cus it was so unique and felt so good and rewarding to play. The lack of new gauntlets was one issue, but they kept changing huge aspects of the game that in turn turned people away. It really is a tragedy that what the devs just couldn't figure out what they were doing. I guess there's a Spellbreak 2 coming and I'm hoping they learned from Spellbreak 1 and it actually does thrive. The BR scene needs something like this to shake up the genre and refresh it a little bit.
Also Titanfall 2 is goated and it did not deserve the fate it got. I know the head of the dev team has stated (a few times iirc) that he really wants to make Titanfall 3, but APEX is just too big. We may never see Titanfall 3 just cus EA is EA.
what spellbreak 2 you talking about?
I think Titanfall 3 has a chance. EA currently has no premium fps. EA isn't dumb; they know people desperately want a Titanfall 3 and they can make money off that. So hopefully it comes to light and it's as good as we think it's going to be.
I honestly loved Hyperscape,i thought ot was super fun and extremely unique.
It's a shame Ubi never supported it to the extent it deserved.
Couldn't agree more. Hyperscape was so good.
Facts, I played it with my friends up to the day they shut it down, towards the end it would only be us and like 2 other people playing, rip hyperscape
15:06 The whole game was based around their most successful and popular limited time outbreak game mode, and for some reason they decided to detach it from the main game and charge $50 for it even though it was worse than the original event
And I think everyone would've just enjoyed a normal anti-terrorist game with the operator we all know and love
All they had to do was make some type of campaign for siege, then I would’ve been satisfied
Ah yes genius idea let's slap a 70 GB update to siege, forcing people to download it for an entirely different game mode, even if they dont want to play that mode
Man you're spot on about splitgate.
No scoping with a sniper in SG felt CLEAN. Infinite feels so clunky
Fall Guys map maker is such a good idea like it can get new players and even new content creators having fun it honestly deserved much better it just needs to embrace players creativity
it has one
It got one and it’s back to being dead. The only next step is mobile fr
For me, the 2v2 in multiverse was actually more fun, it removes some of that competition tension so you can actually just have fun while playing
Agreed, this guy just wanted a smash clone.
@@parkermcadams1392 Um... isnt that what it already is?
@@SleepyDonnnn no
@@GeorgieBoi03 Then what is it?
Um multiversus isn’t even fully released what you played was open beta its gonna fully release 2024
I actually REALLY enjoyed Knockout City. It was very different and the gameplay was honestly so fun
Multiversus and Hyper Scape had so much potential. Spellbreak was one of the finest games I ever played, I’m so disappointed it died.
Multiversus honestly deserved its death like how the hell did the devs think Hmmm let's not add any content for like 4 months and expect it to be good and popular
@@jasonmead245 so much potential bro istg
@Wiggle Master it has a lot of potential but devs gave up
I think multiverses is getting rereleased. The version we played was the beta
@Rnj_fighter 14 yes it's coming back early 2024
Spellbreak was probably my favorite multiplayer game of the past 10 years. Sucked to see it go, I wish they’d at least left up the ability to make private servers or something
I see a Lot Lot Lot of people saying the samething as you. Which makes me wonder why the game died if it was the coolest thing ever made...
a common issue i keep seeing is developers realeasing games too early, halo and fall guys are great examples because if they were released in their current states, like you said they would do phenomenaly. So i think developers need to hold fire and make sure their games are perfected before launching them
Except devs don't decide when they release a game. Executives and shareholders decide when the game launches. They can always ask for more time and ask to push back the deadline but at the end of the day, the decision is in the hands of rich old guys who probably never played a video game in their life and just see this as a monetary opportunity.
I played extraction, I loved it. I knew it would die because there isn't much you can do with it, but the tactical elements you implemented with your squad was amazing and fun.
How do you love it? Game is so so bad, slow, cluncky with ps2 graphics wtf?
@@Rizingfz08 Never experienced any of that, it's a spin-off of siege so if your expectations are a full game then you won't enjoy it. Still don't get how you got ps2 graphics and slow and clunky, maybe upgrade your pc cause definitely didn't experience that on console
Its not a game you play for years like siege but that doesn't make a game bad
@@Rizingfz08 slow and clunky?
it is what scrubs say about methodical and tatical games.
@@Rizingfz08 it’s not up to you to dictate what others like. You can say every bad thing about the game, but that doesn’t change the fact that they loved it
@@Rizingfz08 "PS2 graphics" as an insult fucking Ultrakill has ~PS1 graphics and that game is fucking amazing. Also as someone who grew up with nothing but the PS2 when I was younger, Rainbow Six Siege Extraction does not even look remotely close.
Still a shit game, but don't be throwing out bullshit to try and make your opinion seem more valid. I say it is shit because it is shit. I don't need to justify my believing it to be shit.
I will always say it, Hyperscape was one of the most fun games I’ve ever played. Insanely fun abilities and guns great movement, I would 100% still play it now if it was popular.
I would still play it if it was still here. I played it till the day the servers shut😢may the best game ever made rest in peace ❤
It was honestly the best game ever. I'd do anything to play it again
@@saucy1642 The finals is hyperscape but better
@@vishg5148the finals and hyperscape are 2 completely different genres
@@vishg51482 different genres and very different bud 💀
Honestly spell break just brings back so many memories the game was busted had sooooo much potential it's really sad but management killed this game it could have been so much more. Loved it so sad it died I'd play it for so long with my two more friends nostalgia
I honestly liked extraction. It was fun and the tactical shooter feel mixed with zombies/aliens was fun, but the sample extraction missions were so incredibly hard. There have been times I should’ve gotten a sample from the big boy but just executed it instead. It had potential but it just did not deliver enough they didn’t even put in all the operators! I wanted to play as Thermite (that’s his name, right?) but couldn’t because he wasn’t in the game. I think the safety foam and operator extraction part was fun and gave an extra objective like hostage extraction from Siege but there was just not nearly enough in there and all the cosmetics were either fully paid for with real money or insanely hard to get.
The cosmetics did require a lot of grinding but you always got what you wanted like think of siege its so hard to get a specific cosmetic in siege. But yeah they didn't even give us new ops or add them all. And the worst part of extraction was how repetitive it was.
I was super hyped for extraction being a fan of the outbreak event from Y3S1 operation chimera, i played the closed beta in november before its release and... played 2 games and I never touched it since, it just wasnt fun at all R6S has gone downhill very badly over then past few years too, shame bc I used to enjoy it
I wanna also add evolve, that game was dogshit on release but when they re-released it as a free game it was genuinely the best 4v1 concept I've ever seen. That game was overhauled to the extreme and they genuinely killed it. It was like the 4 player synergy of deep rock galactic and it's classes versus the overpowering kit of a fighting game character that has an answer to everything but is never too op. Makes me sad it got shut down
I fucking loved that game.
biggest issue for Evolve was the dev team. They didn't manage to balance the game, but to be fair it is an extremely difficult game to balance. One of it's biggest issues though was it on release being pushed as a heavy esports game, which failed so incredibly fast. There is still a discord of like 60,000 people who are talking about the game, play with each other, and do have their own little tournaments between each other. However the intense push for it to be a top-tier esport gave it a horrible look to people wanting to get into it.
@@doomination1408 The dev team actually had a lot of love for Evolve, as evidenced by Stage 2. But I do agree with the forcing of e-sports onto an unbalanced game.
The major reason Evolve was doomed from the beginning was marketing and the higher-ups. They marketed Evolve as a fast-paced shooter that COD fans would enjoy when the gameplay was slower and more akin to LoL with the heavy emphasis on abilities. It drew in the wrong audience that abandonded it quickly. It also didn't help the game was rushed to meet a deadline and base game content changed last minute to be day-one DLC. The higher-ups did not believe Evolve would do well and decided to milk the game for as much money as possible from launch no matter the cost to the game.
Most balance issues were ironed out in Stage 2 and the Devs were planning more reworks and balance changes before the game stopped being funded. If Evolve was marketed correctly the game could have fostered a proper community as it was genuinely unique in the asymmetrical genre. To this day, it is the only game you could hunt cool ass raid boss-style monsters or be that cool ass raid boss-style monster in a competitive, online game. I'll never forget tracking, cornering, and trapping a monster with my friends and then also turning it around on them when I was the monster, I have never scratched that itch since.
I love extraction, something about using guns against parasite zombies and not other players was something I liked.
@@williamhenderson1739 it was its own game lol
@fabioj- I see my grammar was messed up, thank you. I mean, if they had stuck with what the outbreak even started as. And made that into extraction, instead of what it turned into. Thank you for catching that for me!
hyperscape was so fun. i loved bouncing around in a big ball and the visual stimulation was fun and the characters/voice line were so charming
Knockout City looked great for the style it was going for, in my opinion. Perhaps it's just not your style, since it's very much out there visually-but it has never looked outright bad. I also don't think a more realistic art style would have worked for KC. Its quirky characters and vibrant cityscapes are what made it so unique.
i think the goofy art style was definitely right for the game but imo the characters are straight up ugly and i wouldnt wanna buy any cosmetics for the game
You're A-tier, man! Thanks for your kind words.
As one of the top players of Hyperscape. Marco’s right. The game was way to hard to get into. I wanted to get a competitive trio with my friends but they couldn’t play it. It wasn’t fun for them.
I miss it.
Hyperscape was S tier in term of skill-expression. No player fight the same.
I guess it's too sweaty for Causal and too much stakes for quake bro kill the chances of it being successful.
Yea you can’t make games for sweats unless it’s like valo or cs
The ttk was just so bad that I couldn’t get into it. I could land every shot and they could get away just fine
nah i politely disagree, i saw it, installed it and got straight into it and even when it was tuff i was having fun
@@TR21P you’d be an exception then. To most it’s a bland, slow movement shooter that can’t really get it’s footing on the ground
I’m surprised Bleeding Edge doesn’t show up on lists like these more, I feel like it was amazing for 2 weeks then everyone forgot about it lol
i played it long enough to 100% the achievements and then never play it again
It was literally going to comment that it was one of the best games ever
Tier F for bleeddge
22:22 this aged well
Even after some of these games on this list that I've played having been out for years, it's still such a hard reality for me to cope with that those games are dead. Titanfall 2 was an amazing experience for me when I was younger, and games like Spellbreak and Hyperscape had so much potential. It's hard to see games go; it saddens me but reminds me of the good times I had as a little kid with those games and many others. R.I.P dead games. It was fun while it lasted.
We must admit it EA and Respawn are doing gaming crimes in apex and ttf 💀
It’s kind of weird how EA consistently likes fucking over the Titanfall franchise

I’m so happy Halo is turning a new face. Season 4 and 5 have been great. I haven’t been keeping up with the dev side but I feel like they just listened to mint blitz and his advice and that helped them so much. Like everytime mint releases a video it feels like in the next 2 weeks his bug fix or balance or even new thing comes to reality. Like Mint represents the average halo player and I love it.
Spell break was such a good game. I remember playing that when it came out and loved all the ideas and I played it all the time. It deserved better
I wish the game was successful, it was so good
Always thought a direction for Spellbreak to go for new gauntlets was just to make new weapons for the main ones as coming up with new ones does seem difficult and the orginal ones already acted as certain guns (Toxic shotgun, ice bow, air smg) so for some examples:
Lighting: shotgun, smg, sniper (Zeus bolt)
Toxic: crossbow
Fire: handcannon or six shooter
Earth: melee weapon? (Hammer, mace, throwing spear)
This would add a ton of new playstyles but if not down this path then a PvE or more engaging modes could've help (map design was tbh weak for a game with such an interesting world/theme).
it’s crazy how quickly games fizzle out nowadays. off the top of my head i can only name a handful of games that have been consistently popular over the past few years
Its cause casuals only play the same slop and garbage that has cemented itself in mainstream popularity
I remember having fun with spell break but stopped playing to wait for a new element to be introduced but it never came and I accidentally forgot about the game until it was gone
Spell break was fire but it needed the catalyst another element could’ve added.
That or new classes for existing elements with the same interactions.
Macro, I’ve never seen you my guy, idk how you got in my recommended, however this video was a joy to watch, you can have my sub bro
Extraction is a solid game for a more tactical, stealthy zombie style game. Overall I think it deserved to live a lot longer :(
For real it was a really good game, I would probably put it on B tier and deserves better
yeah extraction was a good game but one of the things that i hated was the reinforcing and barricading, the animations were so bad for those two things, and i came from siege, i was so disappointed with the animation but other than that solid game.
I think it was a really cool idea but marketing it as an entirely different game was a bad move, a game mode, event, or even a DLC would have been so much better. They just wanted to make it seem like something new when it wasn't.
@@oliversmith7322 dude extraction was a WHOLE game a permanent smaller outbreak like event would be much better. As marketing for the full game.
I hate what the devs did they screwed up the lunch when they put it on the easiest difficulty and just quit after a year and a half.
20:58 I didn't even know this, this is great news! I love splitgate, so the fact that the team is making a brand new game gets me excited.
Out of all of these dead games, Hyperscape hit me the hardest. I used to stream on Twitch (never got anywhere, though), and I decided one day to play Hyperscape, since I used to play it a while ago but left after a while, even though I loved how the movement felt. I posted on the subreddit that I was playing the game. Pretty quickly after posting that, a bunch of people joined. It was the biggest audience I ever had. I remember it peaked at something like 12 viewers, and I felt on top of the world. Afterwards, I checked the stats of Hyperscape, and I realized that at the time, I was the 2nd biggest Hyperscape streamer, which even though the audience was small, made me feel so good about myself. When I heard the game was shutting down, I was genuinely a bit upset. I'm gonna miss it, and my boy Burns.
Bloodhunt was so great honestly, I think it flew under many people's radar.
fluid movement and gunplay. it had insane potential. definitely think they fucked up in many ways, the game didn't really get updated, and felt the same from testing to early access.
@@MS-ke9bpthe game now is no longer being updated they add weekly stuff and keep the community engaged and they pay attention to their servers and look out for hackers and added a nee archetype but really poor people honestly the game deserved a lot better knowing no new stuff will be added is kinda sad just didn’t bring in the numbers i hope bloodlines 2 succeeds
@@ChangesConstantthere is a second part coming ?
Vampire the Masquerade is part of the world of darkness universe, which started as a Tabletop RPG (please correct me if I'm wrong). They ended up releasing Bloodlines which is a single player RPG, from what I understand the Devs were rushed to put out the project before it was ready causing it to not be as good as it could've been (I LOVE the game and totally recommend getting it if you liked bloodhunt). Now some years down the road a Vampire the Masquerade Bloodlines 2 is on the near horizon, though it has been pushed back a fair bit on release dates (just means their taking their time IMO). Though the game is set to release sometime in 2024, if you liked the lore or vibe of bloodhunt I recommend wishlisting Bloodlines 2 and Playing the first Bloodlines!@@btiiithug9585
@@btiiithug9585 month old comment but to answer your question Y e s
When you were talking about smash, I was going to bring up multiversus, but then I couldn’t remember the name of the game…which drove the point home.
Palworld made that’s Pokémon statement age like milk
Yk 😂
The awesome thing about how the different Legends in Apex are still unique and easy to read lies in their silhouette and movement animations. Lifeline has a big booty on every skin and Revenants broad shoulders are always there. And when you see his goofy run, you know it’s him even when he’s rockin the anime skin
I remember following the development of Spellbreak on Imgur of all things. Remember seeing the dev make a post about it when it was in the early stages and thinking "Damn, this looks like it could be super fun". Good times.
I agree the portal mechanic ironically held the game back. Splitgate was a game set in 0 gravity however the movement felt deliberate with good pace and good weight to your character. You didn’t feel too floaty and you didn’t feel too heavy/ boots on the ground. However, the portals allowed a really good player to traverse an entire map without using any movement inputs and completely flank the enemy. This gave the game a skill gap on more than just a gunplay aspect, yes , but this skill gap was so wide that it turned off new players to a great game. I think that the portal mechanic should’ve had more checks to keep it under control, something like a limit on how many you can set in a life or maybe a cooldown feature.
Another thing abt split gate was that their servers where so shit when everyone actually wanted to play. I remember my friends and I tried getting on but it kept saying that there were too many people in the cue. If they fixed it sooner I think it would still be thriving to this day. Cuz I do agree that it felt really great it would have legitimately been the COD killer. It was released at a good time. Apex was getting really annoying with its hackers, people hated Cold War and Fortnite didn’t have its resurgence yet and also people were getting sick of DMR zone too for WZ. All they needed was that one thing and they would have been golden
Not even joking when I say this is the first time I’m hearing Extraction was it’s own game. I thought it was a siege event ☠️
That's the thing about Extraction, Ubisoft did little to no effort to distinguish between the game and event. There was a event called outbreak and then a whole different game called extraction (went through several name changes) Extraction on it's own doesn't stand 😭😂
It was inspired by a siege event. It probably would've been better if they just made it a dlc for siege
it has its own skins and community and stuff
its inspired by the outbreak event that introduced finka and lion
Bro!!! I just had to come back to your vid to say TITANFALL ISN'T DEAD NO MORE!!! WOOOOOOOO!!! 🙌🤸🍻🎉
Garden warfare 2 was my favorite game ever, the first one literally introduced me into shooters and hero shooters.
There is like 14 wacky characters each with their own subclasses totaling 150+ subclasses. The game was just so creative with the abilities and characters.
Like they made a superhero zombie class and the subclasses for him were a toxic and electric version a space version with a chargeable punch when killing you on full charge would show you getting sucked into a black hole and make you unable to be revived. A superhero called breakfast brains who would punch and move faster the more he hit you he also shot waffles from his fist that would shoot faster the more he fired. Oh he also had a toaster helmet and cereal stuffed in his gloves.
Definitely ones of EA’s best games and they should make garden warfare 3
If I remember correctly after BFN (The Spinoff of the shooter franchise) bombed giga hard twice. It got confirmed by a now former PVZGW dev that the Garden Warfare games are cancelled for good. And based on recent events PVZ in general too.
@@ThatPearlKid job listings by popcap and ea show that they are looking for a technical artist with a description of bringing the world of pvz to life working with artist, directors, engineers and animators for “future mobile games”
Even if the shooters are cancelled I’m looking forward to the next installment in the franchise.
GW2 and GW1 are both really good games. I don't consider any of them dead nor BFN.
I usually have issues with most tier lists but this one was really spot on. Ive played and heard of every game on this list. spot on good video
Star wars battlefront 2 was almost dead on arrival, but when they started updating it and it went from pay2win to an actually great game, they cut support for it. Still mad they left it to rot
Splitgate was such a fun game that I feel like would have been a much more popular game if they were prepared for the surge in popularity they got out of nowhere. The 2 hour waitlines were a massive turnoff for a lot, but still one of my favorite multiplayer FPSs of all time

That was the issue, it WAS an event (released with Operation Chimera in 2018), but they decided to split it off, expand a bit on the concept and then sell it way later. There wasn’t much of an incentive to buy as a consequence.
The fall of Splitgate was sad to watch but boy am I excited for their next game
14:00 they should’ve hired you to voice act all the characters 😂 great video 👌
Your stream playing the Titanfall2 Campaign brought me into it and I can’t thank you enough
I know the finals wasn’t out by the time of this video but I’m so glad to see someone not calling it a dead game, it just needs love and marketing
When you know S tier was made specifically for titanfall 2
Two old games I really enjoyed in the past were Gotham City Impostors and Lost Planet 2.
Regarding platform fighters, what killed multiversus for me is that they didn't allow 2 players to play on the same team from the same console. Absolutely braindead move for a game oriented for 2v2.
Rushdown revolt is actually epic, while they do not have marketing behind them and thus there's no hope for it ever succeeding, the gameplay itself is very solid and extremely fun. It's very fast-paced, every character overwhelms with energy It's just such an awesome feeling knowing that you're overflowing with power and misuse of it can kill you faster than the enemy. Maintaining control of your character is the game of it's own and it's quite refreshing take on the genre.
Spellbreak/Hyperscape are sad to see being dead, I fully agree with your points here. It's hard to compete in battle royale genre when other games pumping content on a weekly basis and also are household names. Spellbreak made a mistake launching exclusively on epic store, which reduced it's exposure significantly. And Hyperscape is just too hard for your average player. I really liked how loadout upgrades worked there though, same with realm royale forges. I wish apex would've made crafting just as hype and dangerous(And allowed to recycle items you don't want enemies to take hold of)
Halo just felt empty. It was fun for a week, but after that it felt just like every other halo before, just with less content. Soulless and empty. People nowdays want to have stuff to grind and halo just doesn't provide that. Same with Splitgate. Gameplay is quite solid, but there's not that much content and graphics felt cheap. It was fun while it lasted, let's hope second installment will do stuff more right.
my friend group was pretty hyped for r6 extraction. when we played we also loved it. it in a way was like gungeon where you clear out rooms but have the freedom to ditch and explore the whole map. i think it died because it looked too similar to shooter competitors. I'm sad we and basically everyone stopped playing. It also looked very similar to a r6 siege event from 2016 or 2017 i forget what it was called.
Think it was called outbreak, at first I thought that was the game, totally agree with you
The biggest shame about Halo Infinite is being developed by people who had a completely different take on what Infinite should be unlike the player base and updated so slowly that people have basically no reason to stay and play the same thing for 6 months.
All that excluding bad monetization and grindy beyond reason progression.
you are goddamn right
i heavily disagree with you
When trailers are made they pack crazy moments and epic battles. Titanfall 2 is like playing a trailer, jumping on titans, using your titan, wall running
Rogue Company was so good, it was fun and unique and deserved better
Ik
Bro spell break was the saddest thing to die off. I loved that game. It also was super willing to buy cosmetics because they looked so good. It was super fun. The problem is if they wanted it to thrive it needed to always have a massive player base to off set the skill ceiling. Also not adding gauntlets in its first major update was a huge mistake
I even bought it bcs i thought it would still be updated but i was wondering why the battlepass didnt load and stuff. I frickin loved it but for someone with a timelimit to play, 10 min queue times are crazy tbh
Glad to see that the other TF2 isn’t considered dead
Spell break and rogue company were my favourite games for a while. OG rogue company for me was so fun, it’s sad to see it go
Rumble verse is the definition of just something people didn’t give a chance
Fr bro, it was a lot of fun ngl
as someone who made it to legend in the dominion ranked it was truly heartbreaking when it was shut down. i think what killed it was when they reworked all the gauntlets and changed the pacing of the fights
I absolutely loved spellbreak and played the sh*t out of it on switch. Was so sad when they decided to shut down the servers. May it rest in peace 😢
I can 100% agree with that Splitgate take and i was saying this when i played it constantly over the first month of it's release. Opponents portals seem like a major advantage for you in fights especially when you don't use your own. In most cases it did nothing but give off their position, you could peek through it for combat and then just run away and you can either shoot through them or camp outside it. I played without the portals for about a week and got top first in kills every game because of those advantages.
Its funny because its the opposite for me. I *always* have the most distance traveled with portals medal, only use my own, but still top frag. I always close my "exit" portal though, and immediately place another to get away though, and use them to flank A LOT and I tend to see most people just...leave them open for way too long.
@@ohgodhesatmywindowI personally think splitgate could have been longer lasting maybe "better" if it went more towards quake 3 meets portal compared to Halo meets portal. It was cursed with a high skill gap that comes with arena shooters naturally.
@@bobbyd5791in my humble opinion, splitgate is the perfect game. I had over 1000 hours in overwatch (1) and games like csgo were always too slow paced for my taste. The portal mechanic just speeds up the gameplay even more and it feels so cool to teleport behind your enemy and surprise them. I love and still play splitgate, even though I understand why so many people stopped playing it.
Spell break was criminally underrated
Love your vids man! Keep up the good work. 👍
I was hyped for R6 extraction because in 2016 it was one of the best event and when I heard their was a game coming out for it I was stoked to play
Rest in peace, the cycle frontier
This was actually an interesting retrospective, coming from a game designer. Keep up the good work!
I miss hyperscape so much man such a goated game
Ah Splitgate, gotta love the game. Been playing since before the open beta and it was always and is still fun. Also it's just funny when the names in your lobbies actually start to sound familiar seomtimes because there are not all that many active players.
I think Splitgate hat the problem of being too successfull in the open beta though. The developers were completely overwhelmed.
For some reason I was really really good at Splitgate when I started. Like I got 50 kills 10 hours in. But my laptop sucked so I just kinda gave up but I downloaded it again and I wanna see if I still have.
@@Topaz_The_First_Gem
Oh, I feel you. I wasn’t quite as good as you described when my laptop decided it didn’t want to continue working properly anymore, but I was still in the process of getting better.
Now all that is gone.
FALL GUYS JUST ANNOUNCED A LEVEL EDITOR LMFAO
you shouldve included omega strikers, it had a crazy successful launch with a ton of content creators promoting it for an event, and it was actually fun like i played it for a week quite alot, forgot about it and tried to revist it with some friends, looked at steam charts and found out only 14 PEOPLE WERE ONLINE... so crazy
Omega Strikers isn't technically out yet, that was some betas here and there. it comes out on the 27th of this month.
And they have mobile launch so ye steam chart is pretty inaccurate
Uhm, Omega Strikers is releasing in a few days, wasn't that just a beta-
That was a beta, the actual game aint out yet
cant be a dead game if it aint out yet
R6 Extraction, I was hyped. But The developers just gave up on it
I really enjoyed Extraction and I’ll continue to play it. I remember having a ton of fun with the event it was based on and taking that and expanding on it was great especially with friends.
Spell break was my favorite game of all time and I was crushed when they announced that they were shutting down
22:25 is hard to watch after Palworld lmao
I needed this tier list until I never thought of it!!!
Titanfall 2 and Back 4 Blood is just sad man,
I love TitanFall but I'm not a fan of BR's anymore so i have not been playing Apex so I'm sad TitanFall isn't getting support
Back 4 Blood is like what you said, too late. But it's because they weren't allowed to make a direct sequel so it caused issues from what I've heard. I still have not even played it but I want to.
Titanfall 2 was probably the most enjoyable pvp experience back when everybody was playing it
Titanfall 2 is still very fun to hop onto and I love the frontier defense mode. Splitgate I probably played for less than 10 hours but it marked some great memories for me and my friend group the week that we played it. Got so many funny clips from it and the gameplay was really different too it feels like halo but with portals and it was so cool to just try random stuff and having it work. Same for spellbreak. Such a fun game and I loved the fact you could combine elements for different attacks. I sucked so bad at it but it was super fun to play. My friends didn’t like it as much tho and eventually we moved on and when I tried it again turns out the game was super dead so I could never find matches. Rainbow 6 Extraction was probably my favorite game believe it or not. Titanfall 2 and it’s campaign will always be special to me and it definitely has the best movement of any fps game but Extraction was just super enjoyable to me. I guess cuz I never got to play Titanfall 2 until started getting attacked by hackers and stuff instead of in its prime. I remember last year waiting anxiously for extraction to drop, seeing r6 youtubers play the game. I played so much since release during the last year but I would only play the weekly ranked maelstrom after a few months and play the crisis events every season. It was my comfort game and I could just hop on late nights with randoms or play with others from the discord and just have a chill time. Bugs were non existent and the few that existed (permanent airlock) got ironed out super quickly. I stopped playing recently because it got removed from gamepass but I’m definitely planning on buying it again when I get my things in order, but I know the player base took a hit now that it’s gone from gamepass so it’s gonna be tough.
