It’s been pretty buck Dirty Bomb for me now, but I’ve had a few games that felt similar, but lacked a bit or made me quickly lose interest.
I actually enjoyed Brink quite a bit, I dont know what it was but something just felt off, un responsive or something along those lines, hand grenades and explosions were less “boomy” than they were in the alpha footage and gameplay, and it wasn’t just me, I really loved the customization and many aspects of the game but something just felt wrong, for a game that was about fluid movement there were even places that as light character you couldn’t pull off.
I enjoyed playing Blacklight but the weapon part renting really became grindy, and a lot of the more team-oriented backpacks were ignored in favor of stealth and the healing gun, just to heal one self or poison an enemies, reviving, healing, repairing and even doing the games objectives had about less benefits than killing or going on a killing spree, I also really disliked the almost unremovable lens-flare and light shafts, dont get me started with the soundtrack.
Tf2 was a game I loved, have over a thousand hours on it and really liked it due to liking the original team fortress and Fortress Forever, which felt old after a while, I really enjoyed TF2 but after a while a lot of weapons and cosmetics just went too much with being wacky, silly or over the top, I’ve brought up countless times why there wasn’t the old mirv/tnt bundle for demoman but the only response was because grenades were removed to not have a spam fest, but then they added jarate and madmilk which just begs the question why the demoman hasn’t gotten that bundle but about 10 swords, along with the grenade launchers nerf was just off putting, which could’ve been solved by making it do less damage, but they went with something worse and haven’t even updated the model.
