Well many live service games are just that, but actually don’t feel like a scam. Warframe for instance, still considers itself in beta if you ask the devs. Their reasoning is that when the game releases, the development stops, in the old fashion game development point of view.
The only thing I don’t like about him is his 1st ability’s functionality. Why does his 1 throw enemies out than when his 4 can do that and is better? Why can I not reverse the tap/hold controls? I have to sperg out aiming the ability to be able to ‘hit’ them and registers. By the time I get max stacks of bodies sucked, there is only a few seconds left until I have to press 1 again to suck more enemies. Other than that, his other abilities are great, but really depend on his crappy 1.
There is a big streaming scene on various platforms, people doing it as a full time job. They are roleplaying, which is popular with a bunch of 3rd party mods to support it. This probably contributes to the longevity of the game.
I play it a little from time to time and it’s gets boring quick. Doing the same meta events uncountable amount of times isn’t exciting. Also the lack of RPG progression has drawbacks, but great for casuals. The power creep is just buffing classes, some can generate all the boons in the game. Adding new maps every expansion/update spreads out the player base, an old mmo problem, making the game look more dead than in the past.
It’s okay. I don’t mind the fire rate after putting on 2 fire rate mods and the incarnon fire rate increase. The DPS is a little too low for me to use all the time.
The biggest problem is the aiming. The arm is in the way of the reticle.
I always calculate performance /( TDP * price) when looking at new relevant PC parts, something most reviewers don’t bother doing.
