That was not the point, I believe. Action multiplayer games are subject to the law of playerbase gravity. You go big or you get sucked in.
Deep down, people didn't want to pay money for a game that was advertised and designed as a F2P game first. Yeah they made changes, but the stigma is already there.
he made a dumb move. He made Gears of freakin War, most of his fans are still on Xbox, makes it PC/PS4 exclusive.
The private server of Metal Gear Online for PS2 has more people playing.
I do find it legitimately sad - making any game takes work and from what I understand there wasn't much egregiously wrong with the game itself, more its context.
PUBG killed it. The Destiny 2 PC release will provide the burial.
Is CliffyB's career as dead as this game now?
Thats only a very minor part of the story. Take Project Cars 2 for example. Sold about as much (80k) and is about as old, and yet there are 100 times more people playing it.Internet threads and articles like this.
But seriously that is a major factor - so much discussion over number fears that people don't buy it and it becomes a self fulfilling prophecy. But it had a number of marketing, art style and promotional issues that resulted in this. It's a damn fun game too. I hope it goes F2P and finds success, it deserves it for how fun it is.
Butchered how?
That's not the main reason, the game just doesn't look attractive. It's not all that fun either.
lol bring it to Xbox, it won't make a difference.
What happened? What was so bad about this game that everyone avoided it like the plague? Is it the price point? Was it the game?
sucks. I kinda liked the beta on ps4, it was more easier to play than overwatch imo, but game had some problems.
also the character models were pretty ugly =/
The way people fetishize the failure of this game weirds me out.
This is either a joke or youre very out of touchIt was MP-only.
Bloody hell, 10 people? How is that even possible?
The king of Euro-Jank, ELEX, will probably sell better than this.
I was hoping to return to the game at some point, but now... who will I play with?
> None of that anime fan type vibe bullshitsucks. I kinda liked the beta on ps4, it was more easier to play than overwatch imo, but game had some problems.

Yea bots would have saved Lawbreakers.Should have added bots. Unreal Tournament is still very enjoyable in offline mode to this very date. So is in fact Evolve.

Seriously, people seem to delight in bringing up the constantly dwindling playerbase, but it just bums me out. The game looked solid, nothing I've seen suggests to me that it deserved to burn out like this.
They added health regen, they slowed most of the characters down, they took a fast/mobile flanker character and put overly long cooldowns on his abilities in an attempt to slow him down only to give him a raw damage boost to make up for it, they stripped all the fun out of it. In their attempt to rebalance they made one of the easiest characters to play the most powerful so now said character is dominating matches.
The game was already struggling badly prior to 1.4 but that patch really turned a lot of the active players off.

lawbreakers is a fantastic game that was marketed wrong.
I wonder if Macklemore is one of those 10
Arena shooters in 2017 👀
A meetup of all ww Lawbreakers players and all Japanese Xbox owners would totally fit into my appartment. Maybe I should consider this.

Of course Elex will sell better. It's made by the people that made Gothic.
I have seen more marketing for Elex than Lawbreakers.
Huh. Did they really think it would make people turned off by initial marketing somehow turn back? That sounds terrible, social-wise...
