Nope. We’re talking a story mode with missions. Not just bots
PLEASE JUST MAKE A SOLO OR STORY MODE ALREADY!!!
I would love an off-line mode. I’m Pred main and that would mean no more wait times… and somehow I get the idea I would be able to make it as difficult as I would like. I admit it, there’s nothing like playing online, you get the easy games that end in a couple of minutes, and the hard games that end in a few too XD but we have those matches where the skills are balanced and it’s really really fun, and winning a hard match online… feels cool, we all love the feeling I guess… but… I mean, finishing my work shift and not needing to wait to have fun… that sounds very good too!

We’re probably screwed if they don’t have an AI programmer in a few years time. There’s only so much they can do with Hunt when half the game is shooting at stationary braindead AI spawning out of thin air. Clash is free of AI however so maybe its leaning that direction.

Call me old fashioned but I miss the days when you buy a game and actually get the game day one. Not buy a game on the promise that it will be good in 3 years time. It’s people that support those games or “investments” as you call it (which sounds better because most of them barely pass as a game) that are the reason such scummy practices continue. The “oh it’s okay that we released a half finished, broken game we’ll just fix it later” excuse is getting tiring these days.

The challenges were hardly story missions or a full fledged campaign. They were more like snippets. Either way even if it’s just an offline mode of the multiplayer modes people would be fine with that. And that is literally the same as the bots replacing the players except your choosing to not play with players. If they can add bots that replace players then they can add an offline version of the multiplayer mode because it is the exact same thing.
DBD playbase did leave. They had a resurgence of players. BECAUSE THE DARK AGES WERE THAT BAD!
Well it wasn’t good in the first place so therefore we shouldn’t improve.
pls explain to me literally every game as a service then. Including dbd.
Thats not how that works. It’d make it worse.
I DO WANT MORE TO MY GAMES! I JUST WANT THAT MORE IN MY MULTIPLAYER IN A GAME MADE TO BE MULTIPLAYER! WHERE IS THIS THE GAME IS 100% FINE IDEA COMING FROM!
Right how is he defending games as a service!?!? Like yes I’m gonna pay $40-$60 for an unfinished broken game and pay them more and more and more money to fox things I dont care about that will create even more bugs, not all games are like what avengers did by giving you free content, this game had the balls to charge us $7 for a skin of Arnold Schwarzenegger, a skin you can see

If at that point they still don’t have an AI programmer then there is no hope for Illfonic’s future because that is a stupid ass decision for them to make and they’ve been making a lot of them in recent months.
Right now as the company stands they only have 3 sites and 78 employees including management if I am correct.

even if DBD players left the devs cared about what they were do Illfonic clearly doesnt care, cause a company that cares so much about a project wouldnt have released a game the way they did…except they did it twice. And you say you want more from your multiplayer game well your not going to get that because devs know you will pay for whatever they give you. They made a fucking buggy F13 game with a shit ton of problems explain to me how they didnt learn from that game?? And honestly I’m sure IllFonic is just gonna take money and move on to another online only game which I’m sure you will buy with the most bare bones content then complain as to why it has so many bugs in it or why there isnt more to the online…because they know you will pay for whatever they give you
Technically 3 times. They only have made 3 games ever
You can want just your simple minded one mode online game, dont be mad that the rest of us dont want to give money and money after money for a game is only for a certain playerbase and want more for the overall game not just a mode that is their “strength”
What was the other one?
Nexuiz made in 2012
Then F13, 2017
Predator Hunting Grounds 2020
I can get why he’s defending them because in concept they sound like a great idea. But in execution…sweet merciful Jesus is all I can say. There has been very, very few games as a service games that are actually good. But even then they’ve all had shit launches which is inexcusable. At this point it’s a “fool me once shame on you, fool me twice shame on me” type of situation. If people are still eating these games up and complaining about them then they have no one else but themselves to blame.
But anyway, getting back to the main topic. At this point I see it as a moot conversation because it’s very likely it’s coming given the evidence. The fact that they specifically mentioned it and acknowledged it’s a popular request and that they’re looking into it is enough to give hope. But the recent addition of pausing solo private matches shows that they’re at least toying around with something. Will it come? I think it’s very likely. When will it come? Probably not for a while but who knows. Maybe I’m just pulling straws here and am completely wrong. But there’s nothing wrong with a little hope.

Right I’m just asking/hoping for the chance that we can get an offline mode but it’s hard when people will defend paying for an unfinished game then get mad at others for wanting what they dont want

So, even if this game only lasts 3 years like F13 which died due to Jason being random instead of separate que and the massive lawsuit we have at least 2 more years. Difference is working with the owners of the rights to the franchise at least so no lawsuit and they separated the ques. So, least they learned something I suppose
They made Nexuiz? Well then in that case they’ve actually made 4 games. They also made dead alliance but I can’t blame you for not knowing about that one lol.
That one doesn’t even come up in games they’ve made or helped on lol. Must of been really bad that they don’t even acknowledge they made it…
