My genius idea was that the game setting and style would have been better utilized in turn-based tactics game about the unified Arc forces trying to finally make a successful landfall.

I was a stupid boy and I'm barely smarter now.

Any time I see a game with in-depth character and gun customization like xDefiant or Insurgency, I go "wow, this would be way much cooler in a single-player game."

Somewhere along the way, I broke my brain that games have to have a point, and a point is only there when there's a single player story - a story that ends.

I'm thinking whether that has anything to do with me using multiplayer titles to escape having to do other things or play "harder" but more "worthy" games like Disco Elysium.

I could pretend to have a more righteous reason here, what with all the insane unlock grind shit in War Thunder, but my other download-play-uninstall-download-again-later title is Verdun/Tannenberg/Isonzo, and those are addictive without much in the way of unlocks.

I think things would be BETTER overall if they even took your thoughts at face value.

For one, the game would still exist and be playable. For two, we wouldn't have this obscene glut of doomed-to-die multiplayer-only games. For three, the world could have at least been expanded beyond what they showed us.

I genuinely liked the gameplay of Brink; I like parkour shooters that aren't entirely twitch-based Apex-Legends style. I wish I could have kept playing it, at least, in bot matches or something. Same can be said for SO many MMOs that are now just gone: another immediate-to-mind example is Firefall; loved the jetpack-based shootyfun. Hated that it was a PVPVE MMO.

I miss Tribes 2 and Titanfall 2.

I liked the art style and the voice acting, and yeah, the parkour was fun, esp. how it was based on body type.

My brainrot idea for Titanfall was "wish this was on a Battlefield scale map and I could shoot a tank" lol. Of course, considering that a typical BF map gets razed to the ground during the match, it's not very conducive for parkour...
