Why aren't looter shlooters cross-platform?
- Thread starter Youngfossil
- Start date
I mean Epic did just disable the cross play thing for Switch considering they were playing at an even bigger disadvantage than the other consoles.
That being said looter shooters are more focused on pve and gear/stats are more important so who cares if someone they play with is worse.
Give it to fighting games, they're the real genre that need it. I don't like sitting in discord for sometimes up to hours to actually get a match. If all fighting games had crossplay that "sometimes up to hours" might become a "sometimes an hour"
But it could work when that shit probably runs dry in September. No more carving out content for Sony.
They said they were looking into it back when Forsaken came out too.
That said, now that Activision are out of the picture, Bungie may need that shitty anti-consumer Sony money hat even more.
I rather then cut a deal with Microsoft that didn't involve exclusive loot but the option to put on game pass
No reason at all to separate PvE from console or PC. But for PvP, separate keyboard/mouse, controller modes would be ideal. Ban any item used that can cheat the system into thinking you were using a controller, but you are on KB&M
Looters are more important because of time investment. If I want to be able to raid in Destiny 2 with my friends on PC but also raid with my friends on PS4, the difficulty of doing so is prohibitive. I've had to sort of keep up on PS4 which means less time to grind on PC or to play other games, which just increases burn out.
With Overwatch or something like that, ehh I can hop on any time I want on PS4 and it isn't so bad.
Crossplay is really really nice especially because I could also play with friends on Xbox.
At very least looters need cross save, but cross play would be very nice as well. I feel like save is more important though.
This is not true. It's not a platform thing. Just a control thing. Something like. Hand cannons accuracy perk affects aim assist and bullet magnetism on controller (on console AND PC), and only bullet magnetism on console. So I am still at a small advantage when I roll an enhanced hand cannons targeting on my PC Hunter's helmet. But it's not as impactful as it I was using a controller.
Stop trying to make shlooter happen. The correct term is slooter.
This is my dream for Destiny now that Bungie is self publishing. I hope they can drop the exclusivity with PS, make a universal account system so it doesn't matter where you play, and make it cross play to keep the population thriving. I play on PC and swear it takes way too long to find some PVP matches, and patrols can be lifeless sometimes. Having the smallest player poll is pretty detrimental to these shared world games...
You hate it? I could see being indifferent but to be opposed to it? Why?
Looter Shooters more than most would have to have some sort of in-game account system to really be worth while. A bigger player base is nice, but if I can still only play with people I want to play with on the same platform, I really don't care much for cross-play. Those things seem to take time.
looter shlooters is still making me laugh
It sounds like a phrase a toddler would come up with
I'm sorry

Yet is still miles better than shlooter, which sounds like a nasty bowl movement.
I'm talking about the thread title, which is actually both haha
Lol, I didn't even see that. Da fuck you doing OP? Shlooter and Looter Shooter on their own is bad enough.
The constant beg for it is annoying. This is a business before anything.
Fighting games need this as much as Looter Shooters need it.
There, I fixed this for you ;)
I think all MP games should have crossplay, but I single out fighting games because they typically don't sell huge numbers outside of NRS games and Smash, and as someone who would prefer to play fighting games on PC and is tired of seeing these games die after a few months and make it nigh impossible to play Ranked modes anymore, crossplay would certainly help a great deal. SFV is evidence of this.
I don't think Looter Shooters are typically hurting for players. And if needs be, there are places you can find people - Discord, forums, etc. to group with, since the game is PVE. While you can do this in fighting games, these would only be for people to practice with/casual play. You can't use discord etc. to find Ranked matches.
I agree with you there. Sadly, when it comes to fighting games on the PC, despite the best efforts the games are niche at best. I'm right there with you. It really hurts as the PC is my preferred platform, but the PC has that nasty stigma that fighting games simply don't belong there. We can thank multiple fighting game events and console purists for that.
