2. No bigotry or harassment, be civil

No bigotry, hardline stance. Try not to get too heated when entering into a discussion or debate.

We are here to talk and discuss about one of our passions, not fight or be exposed to hate. Posts or responses that are hateful will be deleted to keep the atmosphere good.

I really miss Megalith. It was a VR MOBA. The small team had to drop the project to work on contracts that made money.

Hyper Scape, probably my favorite battle royale. When you died, you could still run around as a ghost and be revived at a dead enemy. It was much more engaging than just sitting there spectating your teammates. Also the loot was a lot more simplified, so you didn’t have to spend time managing inventory or worrying about getting the right ammo type

Terra Battle 1, created by the OG final fantasy devs. Best Uematsu soundtrack of that decade and one of the best mobile gachas ever. RIP

Bound to Light https://store.steampowered.com/app/711760/Bound_To_Light/ I really liked the idea, but as the studio hade to shut down a few Yeats ago I guess it wont happen

TimeSplitters 4. If they'd have stopped baiting us with teaser art and promises of someone new buying the bones of Free Radical every few years then it wouldn't hurt so much.

Breach. An asymmetric game of 5 v 1 with the 5 heroes working through a dungeon crawl while the 1 enemy sets traps or controls random AI characters.

Back in the day I played a browser game called "Inselkampf". That was way before anybody did the whole monetization and one of the earlier browser games. Totally free, no micropayments. It was awesome: You had a level playground. People formed alliances on their own without the game having such a feature. We hang out in IRC channels. We plotted wars, starting in the middle of the night in order to surprise the other alliances. We had diplomats talking to other alliances. People started alt accounts and snuck into the enemy alliances in order to spy on them. Some rose to top ranks, leading to epic betrayals and epic wars.

Everything from that is gone. The game is long offline. The players dispersed, the IRC channels abandoned, everything never to be repeated

Scalebound. That open-world Star Wars game. SimsVille

Any sort of sequel to the Tribes series. Talk about a franchise that had, at one point, a massive amount of potential that was completely squandered!

It has momentum (the franchise, not just the gameplay mechanic. Lol) and the visuals and world lended itself to be turned into something with great storytelling of they really wanted to make it into a story as well. Plus, it was fun a hell!

Ascend is technically still online, but any sequel that gets "announced" every one in a while is a lost cause from the start

Forgot starhawk not technically cancelled but they never dropped a 3rd game

I wish we could have gotten R6:Patriots.
