RTTP: R6 Siege is the best Ubisoft game this gen
- Thread starter Potterson
- Start date
It's the best shooter I've ever played and frankly, if it somehow managed to survive for another ten years I'd still be playing it. No other FPS makes kills feel more satisfying to an overall win and likewise makes deaths feel that much more punishing.
I'm really sad the For Honor competitive scene didn't take off as an esport.

There is a newcomer playlist now for new players that places you in a matchmaking pool with other new players until something like level 50, and also reduces the amount of maps in the rotation so it's easier to learn. It's definitely daunting now with all the new content they've added over the years so the newcomer playlist was a good idea.
My game of the generation.
People who don't play the game simply don't know what they are missing out on, plenty of people who are not involved int he community think it's a slow tactical shooter. But idespite the slower movements, it's secretly one of the fastest shooters this gen in terms of pacing. You have 3:30 min long rounds and in that time you have to plan, gather intel, attack/defend, as well as communicate all that info all the time to your teammates and work witht them to succeed. The game requires lightning fast decision making and the aiming requires lightning fast reflexes as well as it's basically a game of headshots.
The game also has more variability than basically any other game out there due to destruction, and imo a small map in Siege has more complexities than even a large Battlefield map because of that where the destruction isn't so micro level that you can make peep holes across several walls. It's basically a game where attackers are constantly under threat when inside and vice versa for defenders.
Siege is also a game where everything relies on intel, and intel has a shelf life of like 5 seconds and that's how long you have to act on that intel. That by definition makes Siege the opposite of a slow game. It's more of a game with fast paced tactics, out thinking the enemy and exectuion.

Yeah. You can go in to nearly every Ubi title this gen and know you're going to at least have a decent experience. Their "tower" system and maps with 57271957462 things to do gets grating, but generally you *can* just go from main mission to main mission if that's what you want. Their post-launch support is also very good.
No lies detected OP. Been shouting it's praises since beta. Glad to see it's taken off in the last couple years.
It's my game of the generation (GOTG). Incredible what Ubi accomplished. It's a weekly thing for me and my friends, absolutely love it. I just think the monetization is a bit awful. I mean they could give Alpha Packs for each win and I'd never see the end of cosmetics.
We're getting 50 more operators. At least that's what they envisioned.
Bought the PS4 version at release and played it until year 2 but put it down to play other games. Ended up trading in my disc version back then and only just bought the digital version on sale yesterday to play with the missus. Still fun as hell to play though all this battle pass and apex ticket stuff is kinda cheap looking.
Actually the menus in general have a cheap look about them now, I think I prefer the original look. All this hipster looking shit going on like Watch Dogs 2 now. So many new operators that I have no idea about, some of them look kinda wacky and created for the sake of it though. Won't get to play as many of them anyway as they're still a rip off to unlock.

Played a little bit when I had Uplay Plus. It was fun but I could tell from the training missions alone I would just be liability for any team I'm on.
It's just a learning curve, everyone starts somewhere. The training missions are honestly kind of shit at teaching you anything about how the game is ACTUALLY played, they're good for showing you how to utilize gadgets and whatnot but for real multi it mighta s well not matter what you learned in those.
Siege is by far my game of the gen. It's 100% in my top 5 of all time. I started during Velvet Shell after avoiding it because of the poor beta, and man...it's night and day even from back then, let alone beta.
I don't like to talk about "Best" since everything is very subjective, but i love Siege too, with Rocket League it's my most played game of the last 3 years on PC, i've been playing it online with friends almost daily and i can't see me stopping anytime soon, i would love a sequel with RTX support, new engine and operators
Never played it on console, but here on PC there are also toxic players like in every other game, i often play in team with my friends and always in ranked match at gold level so most of the time people try to cooperate and play well, but i've been playing it for 3 years at all levels and there is definitely toxicity around
I'd say it's fairly average toxicity for an online game. It attracts more toxic people than, say, Overwatch, because it's got the whole tactical sim shooter on steam aspect, but they also do a better job of trying to curb it than most games. So like, you run into it but it's certainly decreased over the last 2 years heavily. But when you hit it OOF it's gross. So the highs are plenty high and the lows are plenty low when it comes to that. I'd say as long as you can tolerate just muting/leaving a game and moving on with your life once in a while you'll be fine.
game of the generation for sure
i've coached a few friends into playing the game, that's how much I love it

I was surprised when I played Terrorist Hunt over the weekend that you couldn't select game mode and map. Has this always been the case? I could have sworn that you could pick what map and mode you wanted back at release. Now it's always just random.

You can always set custom games and you can set which modes are active in your prefs. Most people set it exclusively for terrorist Hunt Classic, which is just attacking and killing everyone, good for aim practice.
I know, back in the early days of Vegas I played so much T-hunt. Really sad its basically nothing in Siege.
