#StopKillingGames

A bit poetic for it to coincide with the next big Monster Hunter, as I liked it better than Monster Hunter.

If I can't play a game offline, OR host my own dedicated server..i just don't buy them anymore.

Damn, another one down. I thought it was a perfectly adequate Monster Hunter competitor, but I guess people looking for that are fully satisfied by Monster Hunter

Even if it was perfectly adequate, the game may have been doomed anyway. Such is live service.

Crypto-bros killed it. Literally one of their executives just up and dis-a-fucking-ppeared.

Damn this sucks. This game was pretty decent in the beginning. I had fun leveling couple different weapons. I bailed when they reworked the progression system to be more confusing and less rewarding. I've been meaning to check it out for nostalgia sake even though recent rework got a horrific reviews and now I don't even have to bother. RIP

They "rebooted" it by wiping everyone's progress and then making paid transactions the way to progress. It was doomed from the rework.

Aw. I get why this happens to games, but it's still sad to see.
