Lawbreakers

No cute girls.

market is totally saturated. you have the hero shooters, shooty looties, battle royale shooters, war shooters (battlefield/front) etc. etc. everyone wants to make the next lootbox cash cow.

It's usually times like these where the community gets bored and want something new to try much like how WW2 shooters got over done.

What's next for the market is what I wonder

>>388177846
Yes it's saturated. Lawbreakers also couldn't capitalize on playstyle or concepts that other games like cod and battlefield hadn't already done

Top kek. Fucking soda dungeon has more players in it than lawbreakers.

I think it goes beyond normal genre saturation. Every new shooter has loot crates that cost either playtime or money. With that in mind, you players will subconsciously budget how they play games. Why play a less popular game when you would have to start all over and grind again for monopoly tokens?

It's a bad game?

At least it's not another Moba or Card Game. That's the only positive thing I can say about Lawbreakers.

Actually it's not. Characters are bland and utterly forgettable but who care? It's a good shooter with neat mobility

>>388177846
1. Saturated genre.
2. Bad marketing.
3. Best case scenario, it would still not be huge, just because of what kind of game it is - slow respawn, skill based, fast movement, no cutesy webcomic storyline quirky characters, etc.

>>388177846
Yup saturation in combination with weak marketing and little to separate itself from the competition is probably why.
I also think that Lawbreakers doesn't really appeal to casual audiences, which 4chan applauds, but casuals keep the player base healthy.

I think destiny has the possibility to be popular.
I also think people really want cooperative games, where they can go on adventures with a group of friends while also being casual. That why I think mmo-lites like Destiny might get popular. Maybe even monster hunter world has potential to get more attention if it gets enough "dark souls but with friends" word of mouth to draw in casuals.

>Saw a year in on Rabbitman shilling his game
>See it fail now

I expected this and I am entertained.

>>388177846
Lawbreakers is extremely generic in both aesthetics and gameplay, nothing about it is unique. This coupled with it releasing in a saturated market is what made it fail.

No one actually plays arena shooters, they just complain about a lack of them.

>>388177846
The game is visually very bland and the marketing was #cringeyaf. A buch of bearded tatted up streamer retards talking about how they were literally shaking after playing. The characters range from boring to straight up ugly. The environments look very generic. The dubstep soundtrack is for 13 year olds.

The mechanics of the game could be amazing but everything else

It has too much competition and casuals won't like it. They are too afraid to try it out

Why they refused to release their game one the Xbone is beyond me...

>>388177846
I came here to crumble some poop on Cliffy but then I realized that at least someone is giving his game attention. Now imagine being in the shoes of the Agents of Mayhem devs...even Nidhogg 2 gets brought up more.

>>388177846
If you didn't notice, CoD and battlefield formula rendered classic arena shooters obsolete.

I think people are vastly underestimating the staying power of Overwatch. It's become a WOW of the next generation.

I know people who have it as their LOL or DOTA game much in the same manner. They might pick up a new release but revert back to overwatch after a few weeks.
Events keep most people coming back too.

Battle royale-style games are beginning to be all the rage now.

>Gearbox: we can make the biggest blunder of this generation
>Cliffy B: hold my beer

why do every single mmo shooter have to trashtalk overwatch just as they're launching

>>388177846

>No one actually plays arena shooters, they just complain about a lack of them.
this. also true for some other "we leetz" genres (full loot pvp mmo, actual rts, etc)

It didn't cater to streamers like pubg
It didn't have the marketing budget of blizzard to push it to normies

>>388188170
I wonder which one lost the most. Battleborn had a card game and loads of merch made, Randy was planning it to be huge in and out of the game.

>>388181501
This
As someone who played them a lot from 1998-2001 kids want their COD skinnerbox or waifus and me as a crusty 35 year old wants something laid back with waifus. Overwatch works well for me.

dark souls confirmed casual trash

Ive always loved co-op simply because I can play with my best friend but in general there should definitely be a bunch of team co-op ones, whether you have a planned party or meet people in the world. Despite all the shit wrong with Destiny (key problem being repetitive as hell) it was nice how easy it was to find a dedicated group of like 10-12 people to take on raids, strikes, and pretty much anything in game we wanted. Competitive stuff always seemed a bit more limited because there are only so many game modes possible and matches can be very short since there are quick objectives.

Should have been free to play none of that 30$ online multiplayer only bullshit.
