Why is it dead?

Why is it dead?
Its literally better than CoD, Battlefield, and infinite.

Nobody plays arena shooters, and even when a new one comes out they just go back to quake 3

1: No advertising
2: PC exclusive
3: Requires higher specs than Valve/Riot F2P games
4: No Porn
5: Unforgiving skill gap

being better than that shit isnt enough, it needs to be GOOD

like a normal arena shooter, and not stuck in EA hell, with gimped mechanics, engine, and monetization.

It's too late now, but they need to take it out of Early Access.

cringe

But I just finished playing a set with a friend and it was just fine? Bad region?

Shit engine
Shit optimization
Terrible lobby/matchmaking system
No server browsers/community support
Total fucking content drought
No advertising

It's funny because all my casual friends actually found the rapid pace of killing, getting killed, and instantly respawning to be incredibly refreshing, but the sheer amount of downtime inbetween matches killed all momentum for them.

Pretty much this. The game has an a fucking insane art direction and assets, and some really cool concepts. Roller skating as Slash is one of the coolest fucking movement systems I've got to utilize in an FPS game, but the rest of just doesn't hold up.

It's got nothing to do with the genre being too hard when every other niche competitive sub-genre can sustain healthy populations with new releases (besides RTS games?). There just hasn't been a well packaged arena shooter in fucking forever.

They did had a good game going on but the technical issues killed it

It's not about the arena fps excuses, or about the champions having different abilities, it was pure old school Saber incompetence.

Infinite is dead bro

The game was actually good, but the technical issues were amateurish as fuck. It didn't even work properly for the longest time. It got tiresome after awhile, to wait for the bare minimum to work and the content to roll out.

Basically what happened to Halo Infinite

because they took the worst part of hero shooters, the ultimates, and crammed it into a game that doesnt need them at all and then you made it run like shit with shit map design

too hard to get into for most, also it's lack of advertising, tech issues and the splitting of arena FPS into 30 games doesn't help.

also locking CPMA movement to different characters instead of simply being on or off for everyone
and also characters having different stats and not just being a different model

someone told me the only people who play it are russian boomers

the game is bad. people who like quake still play QL

Factually wrong and you didn't even played the game
Had serious detection problems and performance issues, but the characters were great and the entry "barrier" is the copest of copes people auto reply to not feel left out.

>people who like quake play QL
lol, QL nerfed the railgun to not be an instant kill on unarmored people, which is the entire point of the railgun

this. i remember when the closed beta dropped and you had to use fraps or dxtory to limit the frame rate in the menus or else the game would crash.

>no mod support
>no dedicated servers

There is a reason why the old Quakes are still alive and this is dead.

no porn

Slash is CUTE.

the abilities help, but when great players are practically playing a different game from the new players, it's pretty demoralizing.

the game has matchmaking.

litearlly just get gud
just started getting into quake in general a month ago and I'm already a cut above most players

>2022
>still no Galena game

Horribly optimized and it takes way too long to get in the game and once you do it's nothing but old autists who've been playing Quake 3 for 20 years.

>p, but when great players are practically playing a different game from the new players, it's pretty demoralizing.

I wouldn't say git gud often, but this applies so hard
This ain't Starcraft or a flying sim. It's Quake. shoot the fucker down. It's not even that fucking hard, people just are whiny little bitches.

A multiplayer Quake can't get better than Quake 3, which people still play.
The fans of Quake 3 aren't interested in QC. There's no need.
