Matchmaking took upwards of 10 minutes. Maybe they could capture a core audience but all that waiting would alienate even more people. Increasing the wait time even more. They could have invested more money and re-release it, but how much money would it take to overhaul the game. And there is no guarantee, that a 2.0 would be played more. So giving it up is probably the best solution, not burning even more money. Keep in mind, it costed about 400 million $ to make.


Fallen Aces level design
Hi all, I just played the first level of Fallen Aces. I’m amazed how great the level design really is. Somehow it feels a bit like a Metroid game. Every part of the map is connected - at first it looks like you have to backtrack long routes but after looking around, you can find a lot of shortcuts. You can even avoid most of the enemies. Discovering the map and fooling around felt so refreshing. I even made a video with all the secrets. They lineup so perfectly it’s ingenious. By all means, I’m not speedrunner, but I felt the rush of speed running. I played the first map for 2 hours and now I can do it in 4 minutes :D The combat feels quite good as well, but I'm not really a fan of the rotating sprites (like in the original Doom). What are your thoughts on the game? Oh, and here is the video if you wanna see my "perfect" route: https://youtu.be/aPUyciDaJvo

Well it’s probably cheaper than to innovate on the hardware front (display, performance, Joy-Cons, etc.) . And since they have an insane amount of money, it think they can keep doing this for quite some time…


WTF - Rest in peace... I hope no one has to pay any legal fees. Wish you all the best!

I was thinking about IP-logging. Lets say the page logs your IP-address, the trolls might get you, don’t they? - In case they bust this lovely page… I’m not sure about it, but in some countries it’s punishable if you download or stream copyrighted content. That’s why I usually use a VPN, but as I said - I don’t know if I’m up-to-date on this topic.


I’m out of the loop for quite some time. Do you use sites like this with a VPN or TOR?


For me it was Code Server. I write a lot of text and having my Markdown files available on every device is nice :)


Well, okay… I get your point. I just found out and celebrated. So I thought maybe some other mateys would enjoy this win too.
