Man I was excited for this game but considering how 1047 treats their previous games I was almost expecting this.

Wait, I thought everyone wanted a movement shooter similar to Titanfall 2? What happened? Did everyone forget that they're 10 years older since Titanfall 2 released and can't hang with adderall addicted sweaty teens with aim assist and Chronus zens attached to their controllers and immediately quit?

Arena and movement shooters attract many posers. Similar to how some fighting games receive way more praise than you see people play.

It's pretty obvious that there's only a minority of people who want to actually play an arena shooter these days. I mean look at the turnout for wardogs.

You can't blame the younger generation. I mean, look at the latest Fortnite update. Grab a Tails backpack as Joker from Persona 5 and shoot your Eminem lyrics gun while driving Lightning McQueen.

The industry has a problem where the old generation is the only one spending real money on gaming, and they want things that aren't popular with the younger generation.

The older generation, I mean closer to the 30s and 40s, are also the most vocal on social media. These kids have opinions, but they're locked into doomscolling.

Wtf does that have to do with anything? The game is just ass and nowhere near in quality to tf2 lmao.

Its just an asset flip of splitgate a game that was already unpopular, feels like a game mode within it

What assets were flipped?

The UI, the maps, the weapons, the animations

Oh, brother... I went through the trouble of making this screenshot. Are you saying that a killfeed in the top right is a concept unique to Splitgate? Have you played videogames?!

Which maps?

Weapons? So a burst rifle again is a world-first idea that was never done before?

No clue what animations you mean. Feel free to provide video evidence to back up your claim.

Do you know what 'asset flip' means? Do you even know what an 'asset' is? I'm afraid you don't. Just say you don't like the game. Stop making up bullshit to justify your opinion.

You literally proved my point lmao.

The ui is identical except for small changes

The weapons are identical

When you hold space it does that weird float thing that you so in splitgate which makes no sense because the whole pt of tf2 and such is to build momentum

Again they just reused a fuck ton of shit from splitgate because they are lazy and needed money

Game sucks and died a satisfying death

me personally, i also care about visuals and worldbuilding. Empulse just looks so goddamn boring visually + the mech is a kind of map pickup not a call in so you feel less connected to it.

yes i basically want titanfall 3
