Ubisoft announces Rainbow Six Siege X, the "biggest transformation in the game's history"
-
Had the thought yesterday that Ubisoft is sitting on so many Bangers for multiple Niches. R6 is in between an Arcade game and a Tactical Competitive Game, curious to see where it'll turn with X. They have Trackmania which has like 70.000 People paying 20$ a Year to play the game and one of the best racing games on the market. They have the best Medieval Fighting game (In my personal opinion) With For Honor and the "Art of War" tech that they under-utilize Yet when it comes to the biggest markets they are crashing with their Far Cry's at every sauce.> R6 is in between an Arcade game and a Tactical Competitive Game I think R6 is very far from an arcade game. I actively played R6 and Overwatch for a while and then stopped. After a pause, coming back to Overwatch was no problem; below Master pretty much everyone is playing casually. Coming back to R6 however, was overwhelming. Everyone is playing strategically optimally, you have to play a lot, follow the meta, and be very focused to be able to play in mid to high ranks. At least that's my experience. R6 is not what I consider an arcade game.

R6 is not what I consider an arcade game.I agree with you on that, especially since they added that you when you reload your weapon you have no mags. But more than once have I heard from people that play at very high level that the game and new agents are more Arcady than what the game was at its origin. Although now that they keep on nerfing everything that exsts the game is becoming more and more rigid and Tactical

My friends and I played R6 a lot until early 2020. It was a lot of fun back then. I preferred it over CSGO because it had more strategic depth and it didn't rely too much on aim. It was all about information gathering and learning different setups and countering the common ones. Trying the game again last year and it was a mess. So many new operators to grind out for and a lot of them were really weird. We thought Oryx was weird already and now I come back and you can play as two robots as a single operator
The first couple years were actually excellent but like you say it just turned in to a big mess with a miserable decline in every way. -

I hate to say it, but micro transactions are probably the only reason Siege is still alive and kicking. And even though it's a paid game, I don't mind their cosmetics micro transactions, they are quite literally the smallest of evils.

It's insane. The Division survival was an extraction shoot with top tier mechanics before anyone else had extraction shooters, I've been screaming at their subreddit for years for them to turn that into its own standalone game. For Honor is a crazy cool fighting game, with an incredible combat system that they simply never used in anything else again. And Siege has always been a deeper competitive shooter than any other. I'm somewhat excited to come back if X is a good turnaround for the game.

I loved playing Siege and think they did a great job handling micro transactions. But couldn't resist posting a meme.

This post did not contain any content.The game used to be fun but now its a complete mess with broken balance and everything is nerfed into oblivion leaving no room for anything interesting but getting headshots with the operator who has the best gun. Gone are the days where gadgets mattered. I don't see a reinvention without all balance being reset and new people being taken on to oversee balance.
