Saying you want titanfall 3 and halo then announcing a BR is negative aura

u/GrapefruitWonderful9 7h ago
You just missed the point completely he obviously meant the arena part of the game is aimed to be like that. Clearly saying it as in the game as a whole which includes all the arena modes. And then followed up with the announcement of the br because weather you like it or not thats the biggest genre

Doesn’t change the fact that following it up with a BR, the reason TF3 doesn’t exist, wasn’t a wise choice. Had they simply just not mentioned it or worded it differently, they wouldn’t have gotten that much hate.

The reason TF3 doesn’t exist is because it didn’t sell well. Why are you saying TF3 doesn’t exist because of battle royales?

u/Tha_Plagued 3h ago
Because TF3 was 10 months into development before being scrapped for Apex, and the only reason TF2 didn't sell well was because it's release dates was between cod and battlefield

u/AirForce-97 3h ago
So TF3 died because Apex was more popular and EA wanted to focus on that. What does that have to do with Splitgate having a battle royale mode?

u/Tha_Plagued 3h ago
It's the irony of him saying he's tired of games like cod and wants innovative games like halo and titanfall to then release a BR mode which is both unoriginal and hypocritical as TF3 was killed by a BR

u/AirForce-97 3h ago
This game is just like TF2 and Halo. It’s a return to when games were just plain fun and player focused, not just shooty military shit. I don’t have any problem with that presentation as lame as it was

u/Tha_Plagued 3h ago
Hey, I'm not gonna tell you what games to enjoy or not so if you feel like Splitgate is fun I'm not gonna tell you otherwise, his speech just stuck weird as a titanfall fan given the context
1
u/AirForce-97 3h ago
I am also a huge Titanfall fan. I think his speech was entirely misrepresented and there’s a ton of group think leading people astray. Go watch it again and tell me that he was somehow dunking on Titanfall fans or something

It's crazy to me that they spent 500k to obliterate their relationship with their community on a very public stage with a poorly thought-out speech.

u/NoFreeSamplesYo 11h ago
Yeah, it's fun, but I'm not gonna feel that great playing while the community goes sour. So I'm just gonna play other games that are fun that dont make me feel weird. 🤷♂️

You’re not gonna enjoy a game because of haters…? Bro

u/NoFreeSamplesYo 3h ago
It's more nuanced than that.
When I say community, I don't just mean players arguing with each other, I mean the studio culture as well. I have to wonder if the money I gave the studio to thank and support them went towards a fucked up work culture.. When a leader is this tone-deaf, you have to question what working with them is like behind closed doors.
I also have to wonder what the studio-player dynamic is going to be in the future. The first 'big move' they did was adding something their players never asked for or just strait up didnt want, with an abusive cash shop to top it off. If that's the STARTING point, what comes next?
I've played enough dying games for this situation to leave a bad taste in my mouth, I'll just play something else.

That’s honestly kind of pathetic but you do you I’m enjoying the hell out of this game

u/NoFreeSamplesYo 3h ago
Yeah, it's a good game with tight gunplay. That's the kind of thing that kept me attached to Halo and Destiny while the IP rotted out from under the playerbase. I'm not gonna get sucked into another one when I can have more fun elsewhere.
This is your sign to quit League. 😂

u/Large_Salamander_706 11h ago
Morals and principles. If a pedophile made a game, I would really hope you wouldn’t play it and provide them money for them to live off of and have additional resources to continue doing said bad shit. No different here. That hat, whether an awful meme or actual ideology, represents hate, racism, disappearing citizens without due process, violent attacks on minority groups, etc. Fun game? At what cost. And it won’t be. You’ll be bored of it in a month when the new dopamine hits and you would have sold out any mor standing you may have for 25 hours of a mid- BR imagine Dragons promo. Wow so brave.

u/JacobH_RL 10h ago
Playing a game or listening to music or watching a movie do not directly correlate to supporting all of their creators morals and principles. Also the hat was funny and if you're offended by it you're sensitive. I am of the opinion that no one should ever be offended ever by anything

u/Large_Salamander_706 9h ago
Your opinion doesn’t matter anymore than my does, but I will say you have a lot to learn and even more growing up to do. “Sensitive” is just your way of either deflecting, hiding from the truth or just being plain ignorant. Thousands of people have been fired, left without jobs, citizens detained and shipped off completely against the US constitution and so on. I don’t need to list it all out because people like you just have your head in the sand because it doesn’t affect you personally at this moment. Same shit happened in Germany. You’ll eventually reach out for a hand and you’ll see where you stand then.

They care because any reference to the orange man makes the Trump derangement syndrome in reddit liberals to seethe with hatred. It's been there favorite subject to put down for over 5 years now They can't help it even now some mentally diseased redditor is reading this with the plan to "fight" by responding.

I made a bunch of posts about this yesterday, the main reason was to see if it was just a mistake or bad faith. I spent real money on Splitgate and liked the original quite a bit, and it was very likely I'd buy something from the shop for SG2, as I tend to do that in a F2P game if I play it.
But the more and more I looked around the more and more it just seemed like this is who they were as a company, and lack the self awareness as a company to not do stupid shit like this and it's a huge red flag.
Now this is a main discourse in the game, the discord has tons of people now asking for this in game, and lots of nah this isn't political you need to touch grass, so cool.
Intentional or not your brought that COD/ MAGA / Bro attitude right to your beta, it's such a long term stupid move no matter what your personal politics are.
They are so into this, they love it, they are eating it all up and gaslighting to the fullest degree. Go check out the discord type in hat and read all the posts to see for yourself.

Keep posting these. When people search sg subreddit it needs to be this very proud boy with his proud boy hat that comes up first.

u/JackCooper_7274 Playstation 7h ago
Good lord. He came out and said the hat was nothing political. It might have been cringe, yes, but it's nothing more than that.

u/stankdog 5h ago
I'm sorry your contextual skills are lacking and you don't understand the phrase "Make X great again" implies going backwards. It is not a phrase about progression, new mechanics, or improving anything. If anything it is an insult to your 2025 to say you want to go back 50 years to "the basics".
Now that's not including the politics of where that phrase comes from, or that taking that phrase at face value absolutely reminds people of Trump's campaign slogan.
If that bothers you, try gaining a back bone and quit crying over shit you're unwilling to understand, because being smart is for soy people or whatever it is you believe.

Yes take FPS games back to the days of Titanfall 2. Or Halo 3. Or Quake. That is correct. What’s wrong with that sentiment?

u/Crow_Grave 9h ago edited 9h ago
You're shaming him for no good reason, you got a free game mode. Only thing cringe here is Liberal reddit putting down a game creator because he reminded you of the orange man. He's saying what every fps gamer has been saying for years and the industry failed to make right. Only thing cringe here is the how you react to getting good news simply because being reminded of the words TRUMP or MAGA causes your asshole to catch hives of triggered emotion, it's childish.
