Why do modern multiplayer games feel like a second job? It's been so long since I actually had fun.Everything is battle passes, dailies, ranked climb, FOMO, manipulative algorithms, skin economy, anticonsumer practices, deceptive marketing, prolonging gametime, EOMM, bad mechanics, etc.
>>1269748This, but also video game culture in general has changed way too much to ever recreate the feeling old multiplayer games (especially MMOs) had. There's no mystery anymore, the second a game, patch, update, content comes out, it's datamined, analyzed, the numbers are crunched by mega autists and everything is curated into a series of videos, wikis, spreadsheets, guides, that make sure a good majority of players don't do anything but follow the most painstakingly optimal and efficient build, path, options, playstyle someone else laid out for them. People have been mentally geared to feel like they are enjoying a game less if they are not working 24/7 towards some greater grind or goal and if they are doing it in subpar ways. In addition to this, the way people play multiplayer games has drastically changed, you used to be able to make tons of friends in random MMOs, shooters, you name it, just by going up to people, talking to them ingame, asking them if they want to do something. Nowadays most people think you're weird for doing so, most people are either playing the MMO solo or on a discord call with irl friends.Something like Ultima Online can just flat out not happen again in today's gaming culture. People were just too naive back then to do anything other than enjoy the game for the sake of the game because they didn't know anything else. I remember how much shit I'd learn just talking to people, people would teach new players mechanics, show them around the world, lots of hearsay, secrets, and bullshit, now people watch 10 hours of videos and read a 5000 page guide before even starting the game.
>>1267855I know the feeling. I stopped playing Destiny because it literally turned into a fucking 9-5. I can't even go back because the only way to hit max light would be to grind for a literal week and then find 8 different LFGs to run raids and dungeons with.
>>1267855you are jaded, that's all. Games like diablo 2, wow, gta, runescape, are all old as shit and are massive time sinks
>>1267855Take the Board Game Pill, anon. Board Game Arena, Tabletop Simulator, and even individual digital versions, are a great way to play games. You have all the benefits of modern gaming (automatic matchmaking, stable servers, etc.) without any of the bullshit. You don't get to be intrinsically better at Scythe just because you spent 500 hours grinding in-game currency, and no one starts with extra resources in Terraforming Mars because they bought the super special edition. If you take a month off of playing Settlers of Catan, it's not like you've missed a month of drops and items that you need to catch up.
>>1268875But at what cost?None of the "non-normalfags" enjoy the games anymore.It would be better if some (or more like all) major game companies went out of business.

I'm thinking of developing a massive online multiplayer crypto tournament betting game where users chip in and play some simple game in a tournament elimination structure, and the first winners split the pot.So for example 100 users chip in $1 each to play, and they compete in FlappyBird, and the first 5 places take $20 each.Here's the kicker: I'll give out special links here for bookmakers to organize tournaments, so no matter who wins the game, the bookmaker takes a slice.You can organize massive tournaments, like with 1,000 players, so even with small bets like $1, users can win large amounts.Some anons pointed out that FlappyBird can be easily cheated with bots, so I might need some other simple gameplay that is not easy to bot.Anyone here would be interested in something like this?You think it could work?Any idea for a simple gameplay mechanic?
>>1260587youre gonna need a ridiculous anti-cheat on this game bro
Blocklords already did this but no one cared, and to think they're actually fond of their playerbase lol
i would play. regular gambling is boring. i want to play a game that is also tied to real life. like a geoguesser tournament or a puzzle or something
>>1260587Until you have the ability to sit down and think about systems and agents and how those two interact you are never going to shit out a tenable idea or business strategy. You are a fucking retard
>crypto shitkys
>people demanding PVE in a PVP gameWhy does this happen to every fucking game with some sort of pvp?
>>1271460sometimes I like aesthetics/mechanics of a game but don't want to have to play against sweaty try-hards all the time
You need something to fight over. Adding a layer of fighting an NPC while dealing with other players to get the loot makes it overall more interesting.
>>1271460>>1271598They like the mechanics, and want to see them in a different experienceCase in point >>1272149
There is a large population who rightly do not enjoy the meta gaming of PvP and would prefer to enjoy a games systems with PVE. What devs and literal moron players don't understand is that offering a PVE mode will draw in new players who will mindlessly play the PVE mode but a percentage of them will eventually try PVP, maybe enjoy it and increase the overall health of the game. It's so simple but zoomies don't get it.
>>1272149>but don't want to have to play against sweaty try-hards all the timeYou hate tryhards, not people who like PvP.
Any idea what kind of game I can play a rogue like in ol' Shadowbane? Had a blast stealing items from parties, getting stalked by Scouts while I was on the run, breaking into cities with my bird thief, and backstabbing clothies. The full looting mechanics of dead players and being able to steal specific items from players was a mechanic I've never seen in another game. Had great late nights as a teen where I got a rush stealing Godlike runes and competing with rune hunters in the wild. Getting DMs cursing me out was based as fuck.The closest game I've seen so far in todays world is Dark and Darker that has these rogue features. Is there any other game where I can play a complete piece of shit?I played a WoW classic rogue to 60 a few years ago but it wasn't the same. Can't stand the grind. Thats one thing sahdowbane got right was the fast grind and gear acquisition.
Dark and Darker allows you to be a supreme dick ass thief if thats what you enjoy. You may not get far in the game though. Albion Online can support this playstyle as well. Builds let you blow up someone's party member and then escape with their loot while their party chases you in futility. EVE too but fuck that.
Am I in all over my head? I’m trying to make a MMO-lite, on a small scale. How feasible is 10 concurrent players if I were to use a cloud service for a dedicated server? Is making a MMO-lite a bad idea?What if it's relatively simple? I.e. Not that complex.I'm using Unity. I just want to continue the world I made in RPGM, Mongol and The Great Conclovince of Mithrithnogg and turn them into an MMO.
Is this mobile only? You wouldnt call it MMO if its a 10 person lobby, but it depends on the gameplay type. If you got this far then im sure it can become something of value.
Any multiplayer games that have an elo system that individually ranks players instead of just by wins/loses?I like multiplayer games more since they have more variables and potential, but even then I'm tired of being matched with literal retards who don't know the basicssingle player competitive games (fightan, card games) aren't really to my tastealso rocket league thread or something
>>1269493There's CS, but you need prime to go into ranked matches.
>>1270732thanks for the recommendation
Is this the best game to play at the moment for games like this? War of Rights seems to be the most populated of this genre lately, though with games like this that's only a few hundred players at peak. I remember trying Bannerlord but regular servers were dead and it seemed to be exclusively people organizing fights with rulesets rather than naturally occurring battlelines in other games like Holdfast or Napoleonic.
bump
