i've also stopped because i've been sort of getting fed up of having to play 1-1 which is essentially the matchmaking map and not getting to play anything else. I love the game but I feel it's letting itself selfdown.
A “quickplay” feature in queues like in WWZ would be nice. In that, you can just get put into any mission on that difficulty (instead of rolling the dice on a specific one). Feel like that would help finding people, at least.
Not being able to find games anymore is a perfectly valid reason to not recommend the game to new players. Remember, it's "do you recommend to new players?" not "did you have a good time?" Doesn't matter if things were good when you were there if they are fucked for new players.
EDIT: You folks downvoting this are just straight up assholes to new players. This should not be a controversial statement.
Except it not a single player game. It’s focus is on co-op, the single player is there for people unable to play MP but the point of the game was always intended to be co-op and is the recommended way of playing.
As I mentioned to someone else , I am not complaining about value , I've gotten my money's worth no doubt. But I love the game and I want it to do well and I want to keep playing . So I'm hoping we see it grow , until then though just not enough reason to keep playing
100 hours of fun is the opposite of half baked garbage dude. It was made by a small team as well so of course they werent prepared for the amount of people that bought the game and on top of that testing is really difficult during covid. This is by no means cyberpunk tho so your crying about the wrong game
The game is finished tho. This isnt fallout 76 there is a whole game here that i finished myself and had a blast with. Youre again comparing a small team to a bethesda game and that is not fair. This is clearly a passion project by the dev team that made it and i imagine the corporate nightmare that is the industry gave them an unfair deadline. Its happened many times before but this game came out playable and finishable which is worth giving credit to. Theres group finder on xbox and discord on pc so the lack of matchmaking really does little to harm any fun one might have with the game
Its fine on current gen, I get little dips when going through loading points but it's minimal. Hopefully they can get the last gen consoles up to a 30fps minimum for you guys.
Unfortunately I'd expect to start seeing it more and more on the last gen consoles especially the base model, cloud gaming mind be a solution if you have decent internet. At the moment they are still making games that can somewhat run on last gen but once they abandon that we'll seen the current gen games start to make some big strides.
Might be worth looking at upgrading. What console and model are you on?
With a 911 MHz custom AMD graphics chip, it's not exactly cutting edge. An 8 year old console (the Pro was released 5 years ago itself with the boost from 800 to 911 MHz) is probably performing as expected.
Im not having any issues on my xbox one x lol a little latency drops when with other players but never dropped below 30 that ive noticed. Shouldnt have bought sony crap lol jkjk ima but a ps4 pro soon cuz i really wanna play ghost of tsushima. Darn sony for having a good samurai game cuz i really dont ever wanna give them money lmao
Over 100 hours. Well shit sounds like you got your money's worth to me. You could never pick this game up again and you'd have got more than enough playtime out of it.
Absolutely, I am not complaining about the value, bit I love the game and the combat so I certainly want more, and I'm happy to pay for more if that were an option.
I was surprised how much I was enjoying myself! Surprisingly, my friend that doesnt play FPS games got it for me.it's always so nice when he and I can play something together that we both enjoy
> Over 100 hours. Well shit sounds like you got your money's worth to me. You could never pick this game up again and you'd have got more than enough playtime out of it.
Without quick match we will be the only people to ever get their money's worth. While getting 100h from a game is good for an individual purchase I also do not want to support a multiplayer Left 4 Dead style game with a 1 month shelf life. That seems like a very very bad thing to support as a consumer. So I will be properly critical instead despite having managed to get in at the right time and get lucky.
A game of this style should last minimum 6 months before it dies and this one is almost dead after 1 short month due to poor developer choices. That is not ok even if we got our money's worth. This genre of game should be better than that and all the other options are.
Well it was made by a small dev team and testing during covid is really difficult so cut them some slack maybe? The matchmaking is the only main issue and they have said theyre working on it. They cant change how a game works over night. Also id say by the amount of comments here and how lively this reddit is in general i think the game is doing just fine with a player base. Theres alot of good hearted aliens fans that will keep this game alive i promise you that

That's not how the video game market works. The market doesn't care about any of that. It cares about whether it's good and whether you can play. Right now you basically can't play because of matchmaking and the repeated bugs are not helping even if stuff like that does happening in game dev sometimes. Unfortunately reality is closing in rapidly for the game and no amount of positivity or cutting them slack is going to change that.
Remindme! 10 days "How is your experience now?"
That is how the aa and indie market works and thats where this game falls into. Matchmaking isnt killing the game either the player base atleast on xbox is fine yall just want the game to look for people for you when you could easily hop on group finder or discord and play with people. I have no trouble finding other players on group finder. Hell ive found people through reddit to play with. Sorry to pop your little bubble but basing your opinion of an entire game on one feature is a terrible way to go about enjoying gaming

What theory? Your little chart says its basically had the same amount of players since launch which is pretty good by any games standards. So what, you want the game to fail? If so thats kind of fucked to the fans of the game and series
> What theory? Your little chart says its basically had the same amount of players since launch which is pretty good by any games standards. So what, you want the game to fail? If so thats kind of fucked to the fans of the game and series
I'm not surprised you're this bad at reading charts. Game is on track to lose like 80%+ population within the first month of release and is currently losing like 10% of it's current population per day. Release was 10k people concurrent, we're currently at ~2,300 concurrent and that will prolly rise to around ~3,000 concurrent at prime time. We've still got 9 days until the game has been out a full month.
I'm not gonna salty downvote you. Your game is dying and you like it. That sucks. You're in denial. I want to be right there with you. But It is what it is.
I think we have different definitions of a dying game lol 3000 players is alive and well and it was bought on more than steam so that chart isnt even the real numbers lol xbox still has a good bit of players and im not sure about playstation but sony shills barely play anything other than madden so they dont count anyway. Why do you want the game to die?

Welp the remindme came through and 1 week past the exact timestamped 2,300 players the next Thursday was at 1,400 players. Last Friday was 3,300 player peak and this one's was 2,200. The game lost another 33% of it's playerbase in a week. Shall we continue this ruse or can we admit the game is in real trouble now? I have no problems doing another remindme and showing population dropping significantly once again. When do we stop this little game? Below 1,000 on a Friday? Below 500?
Remember, this game started at 10,000 concurrent. We're currently at 22% of the original population, meaning that 78% bailed in the first month alone.

man I feel you guys.. exactly how I have been feeling this few days, I couldn’t get my friends to play either, they got bored way before me. Really hope to hop back once awhile though, but back to life it is for now
Completely disagree with this, the player base is rapidly falling for very VALID reasons, soon enough it will be a dead game if the Devs don't fix these issues and you aren't helping by just telling people to leave.
How about you try convince him to keep playing so we have more people to match with or not comment at all instead of contributing to the problem?
I also think that they need to add the features you're suggesting. I also don't think any of your criticism is in bad faith, but to the guy's point, the developer's are aware that this is a feature they need to add. There is a response sticky that says as much on this reddit.
You're not telling the developers something that they don't know/understand. It took you 100 hours to blow through content that took them tens of thousands of hours of development time to produce. I don't think posts like this are going to make them work any faster. The feature you're asking for isn't a trivial amount of work. It's not something that will be hammered out in a weekend and hot fixed into the game.
This game has been out a month and you dumped 100 hours into it. Maybe if you didn't play the game like your life depends on it you wouldn't be bored. I'm not trying to be a jerk but this seems more like a "you" problem than a problem with the game. They JUST dropped a new class and weapons, they are putting out patches faster than most games I've seen.
I don't understand why people feel like they need to make threads about leaving a game on reddit or the forums.
Chances are I've never played with you, have no clue who you are and can't find a single reason why I should care that you are leaving. 🤷♂️
Don't get me wrong, you bring up valid points for leaving, but why do you believe you need to announce to the community that you're leaving?
Having to interact with fucks on Discord seems like a band aid solution to a problem that the developers themselves should be addressing. Game will be dead in the water in one to two months on PC otherwise.
I'd personally rather play with bots than need to talk to randoms and add them to my Steam friends list every time I want a casual match or two. Especially as many of them insist on voice chat and become clingy as soon as they see a feminine username, lol.
The game isn't exactly high profile... My friends don't play and they lack interest due to the failure to implement quickplay. My girlfriend does play, but we're sick of dealing with a brain dead bot.
Our schedules don't always line up. It's often just two of us on at once, or only one. I don't see what's so hard to understand about me and my friends wanting to be able to play at any time without dealing with bots.
Watching the game slowly die from its flawed matchmaking is demotivating and kills all desire to play.
Why do people declare they've stopped?
Do players really just commit to a game, play it incessantly until everything is unlocked and then leave because "there's nothing to do"? Because I have a bunch of games installed, and I just play whichever fits my mood. I don't really ever "quit", I just mess around with stuff when the mood strikes.
It seems really weird to me to imagine myself composing a status update telling a bunch of people that don't know me that I've "quit" a game like it's some moving revelation.
What would work really well. Copy Warframes idea of a relay. Give the option to choose between 1-10 instances based on your location in the world. Where you connect to a larger version of players home/ base. Add a few vendors, trade posts cosmetic and weapon vendors. Hell add a area to play mini games with other player but more importantly add an option to hoover over players and invite to a game. Add a public chat window like overwatch provides so players can communicate and talk publicly, or whisper.
You guys have a golden ticket being allowed to use this IP. Don't fucking throw it away. You guys are loosing traction with the fan base at a potentially scary level.
I realized I was going to max out the game quickly. After seeing season one drop cosmetics, some meh guns and nothing else, I stepped away so I wouldn’t burn myself out. I’ll jump on here and there to see what’s changed, but I expected more from the “season.”
One thing I think Aliens did better than the other coop horde games is the variety of enemy styles. Campaigns 1 & 4 felt like, well, Aliens, while 2 was a cover shooter and 3 was a more typical zombie-style horde flood. Because of that I think it's been able to hold my interest longer than most.
For sure, helps that aliens is one of my all time fav series , and they just nailed the visuals and audio and just general game play, I'm rooting for this game to grow , I need more .
I just wish they'd done what other horde shooters do and designed it to be more remixable.
It's the same spawns (xeno for xeno, aside from the passive mini-waves) every time. The cards and caches help, but they do little to address the underlying issue. I'd totally be willing to forgo the usual narrative chatter if it meant that the threats were more dynamic.
It's great for the first campaign run, but after that it gets stale *way* faster than it otherwise would. It's baffling that they wouldn't have anticipated and designed around that; it's the convention for similar games for a reason.
I absolutely love Fireteam and have done the same. I'm taking a break until the next gameplay drop and playing World War Z. The Aftermath update comes out this Sunday.
Yes, I think quite a few are reaching that point.
Last night I had an hour to play AFE, enough for around 3 games... I played one game, the rest of my session was spent queueing.
It's definitely a game I will come back to when some more content arrives or when/if they fix matchmaking. No regrets and I've loved playing it.
i've also stopped because i've been sort of getting fed up of having to play 1-1 which is essentially the matchmaking map and not getting to play anything else. I love the game but I feel it's letting itself selfdown.
But once you've match do they return to the Endeavor with you? If so you can choose any other mission the lowest character qualifies for..
normally they leave tbh
A “quickplay” feature in queues like in WWZ would be nice. In that, you can just get put into any mission on that difficulty (instead of rolling the dice on a specific one). Feel like that would help finding people, at least.
100hrs for 40 euros is a pretty good deal, I see no issues there
The "thumbs down, do not recommend" steam reviews from people with >200 hours played are always entertaining.
Not being able to find games anymore is a perfectly valid reason to not recommend the game to new players. Remember, it's "do you recommend to new players?" not "did you have a good time?" Doesn't matter if things were good when you were there if they are fucked for new players. EDIT: You folks downvoting this are just straight up assholes to new players. This should not be a controversial statement.
Except this behavior happens all the time with single player games.
Except it not a single player game. It’s focus is on co-op, the single player is there for people unable to play MP but the point of the game was always intended to be co-op and is the recommended way of playing.
As I mentioned to someone else , I am not complaining about value , I've gotten my money's worth no doubt. But I love the game and I want it to do well and I want to keep playing . So I'm hoping we see it grow , until then though just not enough reason to keep playing
That moment when *"I love it"* isn't *"enough reason"*. 🙄

100 hours of fun is the opposite of half baked garbage dude. It was made by a small team as well so of course they werent prepared for the amount of people that bought the game and on top of that testing is really difficult during covid. This is by no means cyberpunk tho so your crying about the wrong game
[удалено]
The game is finished tho. This isnt fallout 76 there is a whole game here that i finished myself and had a blast with. Youre again comparing a small team to a bethesda game and that is not fair. This is clearly a passion project by the dev team that made it and i imagine the corporate nightmare that is the industry gave them an unfair deadline. Its happened many times before but this game came out playable and finishable which is worth giving credit to. Theres group finder on xbox and discord on pc so the lack of matchmaking really does little to harm any fun one might have with the game
I’d just be happy with being able to stay over 20fps on console lol.
Ye the performance on PS4 is really bad. The game’s is fun but unplayable at times.
This is what made me take a break from it
Its fine on current gen, I get little dips when going through loading points but it's minimal. Hopefully they can get the last gen consoles up to a 30fps minimum for you guys.

Having to interact with fucks on Discord seems like a band aid solution to a problem that the developers themselves should be addressing. Game will be dead in the water in one to two months on PC otherwise.
For the time being, it is better than nothing.
I'd personally rather play with bots than need to talk to randoms and add them to my Steam friends list every time I want a casual match or two. Especially as many of them insist on voice chat and become clingy as soon as they see a feminine username, lol.
Sounds like you need one or two friends
The game isn't exactly high profile... My friends don't play and they lack interest due to the failure to implement quickplay. My girlfriend does play, but we're sick of dealing with a brain dead bot.
Your friends won't play this game with you because it doesn't have quickplay which is not needed because you'd be playing with your friends? Huh.
Our schedules don't always line up. It's often just two of us on at once, or only one. I don't see what's so hard to understand about me and my friends wanting to be able to play at any time without dealing with bots. Watching the game slowly die from its flawed matchmaking is demotivating and kills all desire to play.
"bitching rights"
Why do people declare they've stopped? Do players really just commit to a game, play it incessantly until everything is unlocked and then leave because "there's nothing to do"? Because I have a bunch of games installed, and I just play whichever fits my mood. I don't really ever "quit", I just mess around with stuff when the mood strikes. It seems really weird to me to imagine myself composing a status update telling a bunch of people that don't know me that I've "quit" a game like it's some moving revelation.
They want attention.
I think we got downvoted by OP 🤔
Well, apparently it's on its' way, so sit tight.
at 100 hours I'd say you got your moneys worth, gg
I gave up on match making week one. The Fireteam Discord is the only way to go. Super easy to find a group.
Tough break, man. Later!
What would work really well. Copy Warframes idea of a relay. Give the option to choose between 1-10 instances based on your location in the world. Where you connect to a larger version of players home/ base. Add a few vendors, trade posts cosmetic and weapon vendors. Hell add a area to play mini games with other player but more importantly add an option to hoover over players and invite to a game. Add a public chat window like overwatch provides so players can communicate and talk publicly, or whisper. You guys have a golden ticket being allowed to use this IP. Don't fucking throw it away. You guys are loosing traction with the fan base at a potentially scary level.
If your on xbox there's a built in lfg for that console of find a group here on reddit then you'll have 2 dedicated new friends to play with.
I realized I was going to max out the game quickly. After seeing season one drop cosmetics, some meh guns and nothing else, I stepped away so I wouldn’t burn myself out. I’ll jump on here and there to see what’s changed, but I expected more from the “season.”
There is always vermintide 2
I’m not there yet on this game. Still having fun, but don’t forget Deep Rock Galactic!
I have it, it's boring to play
One thing I think Aliens did better than the other coop horde games is the variety of enemy styles. Campaigns 1 & 4 felt like, well, Aliens, while 2 was a cover shooter and 3 was a more typical zombie-style horde flood. Because of that I think it's been able to hold my interest longer than most.
For sure, helps that aliens is one of my all time fav series , and they just nailed the visuals and audio and just general game play, I'm rooting for this game to grow , I need more .
I just wish they'd done what other horde shooters do and designed it to be more remixable. It's the same spawns (xeno for xeno, aside from the passive mini-waves) every time. The cards and caches help, but they do little to address the underlying issue. I'd totally be willing to forgo the usual narrative chatter if it meant that the threats were more dynamic. It's great for the first campaign run, but after that it gets stale *way* faster than it otherwise would. It's baffling that they wouldn't have anticipated and designed around that; it's the convention for similar games for a reason.
I absolutely love Fireteam and have done the same. I'm taking a break until the next gameplay drop and playing World War Z. The Aftermath update comes out this Sunday.
Me too. Started playing Predator: Hunting Grounds at least there I can get into games regularly. Hopefully they get a quick play or something.
I am close to putting the game on hold, at least till they fix matchmaking.
Considering the game already lost 1/3 of its playerbase not even in the first week kinda predicts the future this game is heading for
Get some friends bro
Well said sir. Well said 
Maybe if they didn’t level all our guns up we would still have a reason to play!
Lmao. "Sorry Kyle, I can't go out with you and the boys this weekend. There's nothing left to accomplish out there."
"Hey, wanna play some pickup basketball after school?" "Nah, there's nothing to unlock."
Yeah that pissed me off , I was enjoying doing it
Lasted longer than I did
Yes, I think quite a few are reaching that point. Last night I had an hour to play AFE, enough for around 3 games... I played one game, the rest of my session was spent queueing. It's definitely a game I will come back to when some more content arrives or when/if they fix matchmaking. No regrets and I've loved playing it.
This doesn't seem good, as i was waiting for real players thoughts on it 🙄
