I’m a casual Half Life enjoyer. Spent some time on the subreddit and man is it off the wall.
Tunic has an interesting fandom. That writing system has inspired a lot of cool stuff. The subreddit is censored six ways from Sunday because of how spoiler-sensitive the game is, but I have to wonder what random passers-by must think.
The Undertale fandom has permanently put me off trying the game. It’s not really my kind of game anyway, but I enjoy the soundtrack.
Minecraft has to have had the biggest demographic shift in its player base I’ve ever seen. I bought the game when it was in beta. Most fans were adults who were able to give a random Swede 20 bucks via PayPal. After the game’s release, and especially after the console ports and eventual MS buyout, the average age got younger and younger. I miss the old Minecraft forums.
Ark’s developers wanted it to be an extraction shooter, they tried like hell to make it one. Ark’s players had very different ideas, and to this day still refuse to participate in the extraction shooter mechanics. The two have never coexisted peacefully. Despite the developer’s best attempts, Ark is not an extraction shooter. It is a survival crafting dinosaur-pokemon, and nothing the developer does will ever change that. They have even tried to use Aquatica to destroy the modding community. It didn’t take. The game belongs to the players now. We will never give up. We want survival crafting dinosaur-pokemon, and we will continue along those lines whether the developer likes it or not (they do not like it, to be clear).
I guess I did need to add the Raiders part of the game name… I meant Ark Raiders. The new game. Not Ark: Survival Evolved/Ascended. I figured the extraction shooter part would be enough since one of them is an extraction shooter and the other is a survival game. 🤦♂️
My bad. Obviously, I thought you meant Ark Survival. To me, the all the ascension and cosmetics mechanics they keep trying to use to monetize their playerbase are inspired by extraction shooters like Fortnite, I thought that’s what you meant, I didn’t mean to put words in your mouth. My opinions are my own (and I have a chip on my shoulder for Ark Survival’s devs) so take that for what it’s worth. Sorry for the confusion, and I appreciate the clarification.
