    Hi-rez is the only studio who can grab defeat from the jaws of success

    OG realm royale was some of the most fun i ever had with a battle royale. Then high-rez fucked it. Like one patch they gave SMGs no fall off damage, gray SMGs were stronger than legy weapons.
  • Classic Hi-Rez. Have a smash hit on their hands, and then upper management utterly cocks it up.

    Bro these "Why X failed" vids are awesome.
  • @lucasLSD
    I wonder why do they do it? This happens with every game, they always start out good, fun, with original ideas, than they start ramping up monetization or just chasing trends again.
  • @sino_diogenes
    Yeah, I had some good fun on Realm Royale for those few months. Wish I could play it like that again.

    I played realm royale, from its launch to its downfall and then to its atempt of beggining again and then going cold, the game was everything the public wanted back in 2018, an original battle royale, then hi rez proceeded to fumble the biggest bag ever and step on it, if the game fell in the hands of a good company i bet it would be thriving to this day, i suggest looking into spellbreak, its another fantasy battle royale that was very cool but eventually failed, theres also an voxel mmorpg called Trove that i think would be interesting getting into.

    mate i like these videos and all but do you have to use that click and woosh sound for EVERY screen transition?
  • @candrapota
    Have you talk about Darwin Project? I never find similar game like that one after its downfall

    Thank you for featuring my gameplay throughout the end :) really well put video, but I want to add a few things: - the latest update was last August, which brought the new map. Another patch was supposed to follow suit, but has been paused as; - the entirety of Reforged has been maintained mostly by 2 - yes, two - developers, occasionally with some help from the Paladins team. Both of the develpers have been sent to work on other Hi-Rez games which is slowing updates even further. - the game currently gets around 50k players a week, steamcharts numbers have been very inaccurate for a long time now Once again, great video! :)

    I remember buying the founder's package (or whatever it was called) on ps4 to get early access to the game. A couple weeks later it was released for free and they gave ps plus users the battle pass. Meanwhile people who bought the pack didn't get shit, the founder's pack skins were a single chicken skin and a single horse skin 🤡

    Something that was interesting about crafting is that forges were special locations players had to get to and once you started forging, there was a period for you to get the weapon which turned it into a short king of the hill challenge during the match. Funnily enough, Fortnite added later to the game a similar mechanic with POIs that can be captured, where the rewards are random but always legendary. A similar thing happened with Siege in Paladins being straight up copied by Overwatch. Hi-rez is it's own worst enemy...
