8:18 Conclusion
FPS first person shooter games like the finals, call of duty/cod/black ops/modern warfare, battlefield, battle royale games have had issues lately with skins, lack of free content, loot boxes, microtransacitons, monetization, and many other aspects of their weapons and guns and things. These games are dying and making it so people say that video games and gaming aren't fun anymore. I think the cause of this can be linked to tiktok, funny tiktoks, subway surfers, and family guy funny moments as I explain in the video. Games have crazy metas, like the best meta and guns and gadgets in the finals. Is the finals dying? Is Call Of Duty dead? Competitive scenes and valorant and counter strike cs csgo get stale because of the metas and best things and guns and strategies. Idk what I'm typing at this point but it's about the video and fps games for sure. - เกม
I really hope the finals doesn’t die. I do think they need to add some other game modes, every game mode is practically the same
To be fair it’s still only beta and it’s been out for like 3 months and there staying on top of everything, I think the finals will do fine
@@shawndean5952 it isn't beta anymore lmao
@@shawndean5952 the finals is not in beta anymore for 1 1/2 months
A 4 v 4 mode would be sick
it is dying already i stopped playing it because i got bored of the maps its all the same when you really get into grinding that game to get diamond rank or either way just play alot
Great video, the finals is the only new FUN fps game imo
fr
Somehow slowly dying too. These people only wanna play cod 😢😢
@@YoureMadBozo71 i wouldnt say dying most games lose alot of players after launch, ~60-70k players on steam alone is pretty impressive as well.
@@xerathion Exactly! The Finals isn't dying as a game, but the hype around its release is dying down and the people who tried it but weren't that interested in it are leaving. Not to mention the game hasn't even gotten its first big content update/season yet.
I think a worse thing that is happening to The Finals and just online games in general across all genres are the doom and gloom "IS X GAME DYING? :O" videos that are just pointing at steam chart player counts and saying that the game is "dead" and its already irrelevant.
Raycevik has a great video on how population and player counts isn't the most important thing when it comes to if an online game is dead.
@@jackothelantern well said, couldnt agree more. with season 2 we will most likely see a skyrocket in player count, that is if they deliver a lot of new content.
I stop playing a shooter when the cheating scene picks up. With everyone using SBMM these days or rank mode once you hit a certain threshold, it feels like almost every match has a rage cheater.
The Finals for example is plagued with cheaters to the point they actively taunt and flaunt their next to zero % catch rate. Combined with the abuse of tools that allow KB/M to get controller AA and the genre gets exhausting for folks who routinely push high ranks and skill levels.
what are you talking about? No offense but I'm literally plat in the finals and I've played 4 cheaters since the game came out and I'm getting close to diamond. I've played 1 cheater in ranked. This narrative that the game is plagued with cheaters needs to leave it is just untrue.
@@AcogsR6 you are one or you are blind, wake up :DD
@@mariusskrupskis2042 this was 3 months ago idk how the cheating is with the finals now im back playing r6
I hope this means the return of good campaign FPS
Me too
@@Spyderrock same
dw it will only get worse
There are tons of good campaign fps games in the indie market. Ultrakill, amid evil, dusk. A bit older: doom eternal, titanfall 2
give me titanfall 3 ffs
Great to see Planetside 2 mentioned! I play it a lot about a decade ago and have dropped in a few more times since, and there really is nothing like it. It's like a sci-fi battlefield on steroids. I would be so happy with a sequel or spiritual successor
Planetside 2 was the last time I seriously enjoyed an FPS. I don't think any game will ever match that game at its peak for me.
The finals is an instant classic, I have yet to once rage quit or get burn out from playing 8 hr days since full release, everything is balanced and counterable, threw either your load out or team composition and play style, every map feels mew and refreshing because of the destruction, only map I don’t like a whole lot is the Las Vegas map, I love the concept how were contestants on a game show, I love how we explode in a pile of coins, not a whole lot or over complication , we’re as games like call of duty have a million attachments and even though there is a huge variety our forced to only be able to use 5 attachments on each gun because trying anything new will ensure your timely demise, where as the finals rewards and incentives trying new things people won’t be expecting
Lol. Weak progression systems are not the problem. People played FPS at an all-time high before progression systems ever existed. What has killed FPS games is matchmaking, and the constant force into 50% winrate. Win too much? Get punished with worse teams until you're back down to 50%. Suck too much? Get better teammates until you're up to 50%. Somehow defy the odds and persist at a higher winrate than 50%? Congrats, eventually you're at the top and now your Q times are literally half an hour in some games. It's a meaningless grind. Back in the day, if you were good you won games, if you were bad you lost games, and if you wanted to get better you had to practice. There is no longer meaning to FPS games because everyone is equally unsatisfied with 50%.
It's the whole reason i've been playing Ranked in games now.
At least there there's a point to doing your absolute best.
I can't stand the mindset of bad players now.
Instead of wanting to get better they just wanna get protected now.
I agree with your points on needing progression in fps games I feel like more fps games need little secrets that reward things to the players like battlefield game had as a way to keep communitys on their toes and to keep trying new things
When we played quake and unreal tournament there was no progression(meaning achievements unlocks ,skins) , but they were small communities that you met people ,help each other and have fun. We played for hours same maps over and over again and we wanted to get better. No one cared about skins cosmetics achievements and etc. Now this generation is spoiled with progression and unlockables spamming your screen with medals ,dogtags bla bla bla. An fps is good when the core gameplay is good !!! The finals has some new ideas, some old ideas and elements from other fps games combined in a new package. However the cheating(biggest problem that could kill a new fps game) , the social media and the streamers moving into something new has influence on many players and the decision to quit and move on playing something else .. cause its trending. In the end i forsee the finals having a small amount of players, having fun or try to get better in the game unti it dies . Thats the truth im afraid...
I agree with you about the games not having community. The game makes it hard to find long term twammates through solo queu.
In old games you had giant server lists that you would end up finding a home server on.
Some game dev should come up with a way to make a server progression system that encourages people to interact.
All the games you listed were generally uninteresting, they’re basically just copies of what came before. Why would anyone pay to play a game that is worse/not that different, from another game that they already have and already has an established community
Thx for presenting The Finals, this games is very good so sad to see people moving on
As for me, the BF3/4 has the best progress system. The player has a lot to strive for and getting new titles, he gets new guns, and if he bought DLC (they were bought there), then he got access to special tasks that were completed in a couple of days, and after completing them he got weapons again. Plus, there were various tokens and medals that could be obtained, again, by completing pre-prepared tasks. And all this could be hung on your fighter and profile and show off, because some buns are really difficult to get. And also, as for me, the reason why modern games are not as cool as they used to be is because they have a falling quality level of everything! Gameplay, optimization, progression system, dumb single-player plot, plus LGBT agenda and trends, by the type of battle royale and heroes. Game companies don't want to do something new, experiment and improve game mechanics. They want to make a safe game that won't offend anyone, and also that has everything that is popular now and they don't care if it doesn't suit the game, and they will also try to make it as cheap and stuffy as possible for ordinary players and cram in as much monetization as possible.
Hey man. I'm digging the new content and I hate to be that guy but I've noticed some addons are not working on realms. You made a video explaining how to play on consoles with addons and I actually found a little loophole to use to play with the addons without paying for realms every month but now the addons don't work. Any idea or advise on how to get them working?
Battlebit is a good example of what a progression system should be. Not dumb, overly complicated challenges that you're forced to complete, just play the game and you progress.
True! I’ve done some grinding in battle but to level up a sniper and it was super fun
I dont think u can compare arena shooters to extraction/larger world fps.
We don’t know yet with the Finals, but theres no gun unlocks for valorant or CS, people ;lay those to get better and to just have fun. We’ll have to see if theres a community for the fun of it w/ the finals because of the lack of e-sports/ money cosmetic.
Embarks next game, being a Planetside 3 meets battlefied with full destruction would be dope af tho, it would be much more of a game i would sink hundreds of hours into (it could be the finals version of that ready player one pvp only zone)
The main reason for the fps games your talking about to die is wont let PC players disable crossplay.
Extraction shooters and the mention of progression is right imo. It's what has made me continue to go back to games like the division franchise
I think one of the contributing factors is that most people find one thing that works for them in these games and then wonder why the game feels stale, when they won't try anything else. Like a few of my friends back on MW2019 refused to put down the M4A1 and complained that they game was stale. Like pickup a shotgun and run dead silence, or be an asshole and try an all explosive playstyle. Not the main reason but of them IMO
Shotgun in mw19 is fun as hell, that and the one lever action rifle thing
Dam great vid. I dont want the finals to end up like the cycle frontier lol
Oof yeah, I actually liked the cycle for a while it was kinda fun
Translated by Google:
My problem with FPS is that if you are a newbie or have no experience in the genre, you will never get used to it or be happy because to play this type of game you have to have requirements that are crucial and that are unattainable:
Have experience in using different types of weapons, which are all of them.
Know ideal complex strategies and tactics
Having communication, the problem is that no one communicates and language matters a lot.
Manage ammunition so you don't spend it all.
Have survival skills.
Have game modes and maps memorized.
Correctly use all types of gadgets and gadgets, which are all of them.
Know how to defend yourself from rivals.
Have fine aim.
As you see a high peak of requirements that you will not learn naturally or daily because you will die constantly.
I stayed with multiplayer racing games because you don't need as many requirements to play as FPS games because the only requirements you need are:
Know how to drive correctly.
Have the tracks memorized.
Know how to stop.
The play test a probly be summer, they had their chance... Plenty of em, if & when this game dies out, it'll be they're own fault for opening their mouths waaaay too soon, which game studios would stfu, put a beta out with a announcement, check feedback & not give any dates until they are actually launching the game. So many people moved on or just said f FPS games & I can't blame em. I'm one of them who are done with FPS PvPs but every now & then I get that itch again & feel the need to vent as it's the next best thing. Mobile games are even trash, I have a whole next Gen system & brand new big TV & can't even play a FPS PvP on it, I was waiting to play XDefiant on it but nope🤷🏿♂️
Retention based match making. Thats it. If fps games stopped that, they'd have more longevity.
Not only that, but it’s hard to find time to play games now. Every time I sit and play I am thinking of other things I can be doing or have to do 😔
ik this video is about fps games, but on the topic of destiny, warframe is still going very strong for a decade long, perhaps you could expand on that and how they have managed to do that
Very true, didn’t think of that but it’s a great example
Logical, even obvious, core observation, but what a brilliant presentation and breadth of evidence with even some game recs sprinkled in. Just greatly appreciated. I think The Finals is such an interesting example in this case. It's never a "missed opportunity" until the servers get shut down, but the Finals lore already feels kinda deep. So "easy" to do (right?) to lean into that. Fictional sponsorships, career modes, etc. I'll leave it to creative people to figure out, but it does feel like there's the potential to create a whole other dimension or even parallel game, possibly even beyond what other FPS games have done in the past. To your point, the idea would be some sort of engaging progression system. Any sort. But yeah, fantastic vid. Thanks.
THE FINALS is good.
But for me it can't compete with EscapeFromTarkov.
I know, two different types of games, but at the end, my time to play is limited.
I love the slower pace of EFT.
Fast pace THE FINALS is good, too. But after a hard working day, EFT is my answer.
EFT & Hunt Showdown -> perfect gameplay loop -> great progression system -> great content
THE FINALS -> perfect gameplay loop -> poor progression system -> low on content
Don't get me wrong, I hope THE FINALS will bring up many many Maps and much much more Skins for individualizing everyones characters.
What u said about 'Progression is the key', I'm totally with u, for me ProgressionSystem in EFT at least is king.
Amazing video too! Liked and subbed
bf1 did a really goof job on progression. Getting a martini henry sniper rifle with scope is something i never achieved. Worked for it hundred of hours
Very true, bf1 is such a banger
the progression in The Finals isnt just equipment, they also have Account level where if you level up you get some "skins" or outfit ingame for free
🗑️ this is where FPS games fell off & things are more about "grinding" then actual gameplay these days.
Good Video, I can play by now only multiplayer games with my Friends…
Yo my guy jus snapped on this 😂
Thought you were going to call out the real reason, cheaters, everywhere.
rain world cures short attention spans that are caused by TH-cam shorts
hot take: cash grab fps started when valorant came into the scene due to how scummy it is. imagine buying credits only to run short, forcing you to make another purchase and surprise... you need to do another purchase to even unlock all the levels and variants
As someone who has wasted way too much money in valorant I fully agree
amm no i would say from the beginning of fps games there always cash grabs its just now we hear more about them. you guys forgetting the modern military aera?
Friends vs Friends is a really unique fps game that I have been enjoying a lot since its release and I highly recommend it. It's at its best when you have friends to play with
Oh yeah I love that game!
7:38 you had no right to make me hurt like that
Holup, you used to make Minecraft videos. Same boat brother keep it up 😂
The fps genre is thriving, but games themselves can die quickly. Also something to keep in mind is that getting better is a form of progression, hence the solid player counts of cs and Val, just saying. SBMM makes progression of skill feel nonexistent imo, what do you think?
PC FPS is dying because devs keep catering to controller players and implementing unfair aim assist.
There was an old game called Heroes & Generals, you should look after it.
If you dont care TLDR: fps game combined with rts element, every battle you win in an fps combined arms game is a city/village you fought over on the rts side. There are factions that fight for territory over Europe, kinda like Planetside 2, just on a smaller scale.
Ohh yeah! I’ve heard of that
Tbh I was ready to disagree but I got very convinced, very good conclusion and great video overall.
As games had become less grindy, and easier to experience to the fullest, it made players get bored of it quicker because they finished their goals and had their fun. And replacing gameplay elements with cosmetics as goals doesn't work as well, because not everyone would care enough to grind for cosmetics, but almost everyone would care about new ways to play.
Grinding can be boring but it is what makes you play more of the game that you enjoy in the first place.
So, a little grind in fps games can help.
Wait this video is comp I fw these new videos😫😫
Nice vid, and pretty factual to what i see too
quit the finals after 2 days because of the forced TAA... I WANT to play the game because i think its very fun and a great concept but everything is just blurry and theres no way to turn the TAA off... cant play a highly competitive fast paced FPS when you literally cant see your opponents
They are becoming to repetitive people sitting in corner and smurfs and all try hards make game not fun and ranks are just elo hell if your good but still your team is holding you back you can do nothing you can carry them make game close but at the end its team game for a reason and lot of the game like splitegate and the finals those game are absolutely different which is why so many new players have to learn then and they lose interest in those games
i would agree tho that going to a match, shooting some guys and the match ends is what makes fps boring. though, i think that one reason why csgo, valorant, apex, pubg, rust and even tarkov is still alive and popular till this day is because they are more unpredictable or it gives more ways to outplay the other players.
one reason why i think the finals would last for at least 1-2 months only is because the game doesnt really give you creativity to do something cool or it doesnt really give you other ways of outplaying other players. like, at the end of the day, the person with a better aim will win.
i think that one of the games that did this well is overwatch specially back in 2016 to 2018 where even if you are really bad at the game but doing little things such as timing your ult at the right time at the right place or just healing your team properly or just managing to kill the support at the back could determine if you are going to win the game or not.
like yeah, players will eventually find a way to optimize their gameplay to get a easy W but thats one reason why those games have buffing and nerfing of characters, to constantly make the players find the most optimal way of playing or ways of strategizing.
i think thats the reason as well why csgo or cs2 still top 1-3 in steam charts even though theres no progression, no content (for the past 4 months i think), and not even a change. they are still popular is because every match is not really the same as the last match. there are too many variables that could determine if your are going to win or not.
and lastly, i think that the finals can actually maintain their popularity if
1. they added more gamemodes such as capture the flag or that one gamemode where who holds the object longer wins the game (donno what its called)
2. add more playstyles like what tf2 did in each class they made because currently light class is just a mosquito, medium is just aim trainer, and heavy is the one who blows up the fucking building
and its most of the time, theres not much ways to have teamwork in the game.
My fault
Greetings, WilliamPertzer • 5h ago
Nice vid 👍
It has more to do with matchmaking replacing player-managed servers, and (controversial opinion incoming) cheating. Cheating is the elephant in the room when it comes to a lot of online gaming right now, there are so so so many people closet cheating in these games and it makes playing them a really shitty experience overall.
ive found someone who loves the finals just as much as me
I love The Finals. Im sad that my friends keep playing Counter strike
You don't need to artificially extend the life time with a progression system like bf, you just need a solid ranked system. The problem is there's no value to the rank beacause the matchmaking is fked and you can't lose elo. From my pov they don't want to drive the game towards competitive integrity with how they designed some game mechanics anyway.
I love extraction shooters but they are a completely different genre it's not even comparable.
FPS is dying because of terrible micro transactions gatekeeping anything worth playing for and skill based matchmaking being cranked to 100. There’s no such thing as casual gaming anymore, if you’re half decent at any FPS MP games you get lodged in with the sweats and don’t get me wrong it’s cool to play with similarly skilled players and makes for competitive matches, but that’s for ranked, not casual or quick play. The way they turn the SBMM to the max on any new games is atrocious and really honestly shows with the replay value of some of these games. COD has been washed for years with this being a big reason nobody is enjoying their stale games.
Almost zero social features when it comes to lobbies and creating an environment where people want to connect and game together.
I mean how can these game devs and designers expect to capture the attention of gamers the way they did for games like cod 4/halo2 & 3? The real Modern warfare 2? Battlefield of the old days?
I honestly don’t think they can. It’s too far gone at this point. I’d be very surprised if a game came out that dealt away with the skill based matchmaking in casual game modes and instead focused on pairing based on connection/ping.
Thanks for coming to my ted talk about modern FPS multiplayer games.

an old sweat lord 😂
Gotta agree that progression is the main issue. I’d also say not having anything at stake long term doesn’t help. Yeah, losing in the finals sucks and all, but honestly people play that game to do silly stuff and blow people up, not to win. It’s engaging to a point, but wears off after a while. I think that’s also what makes hunt and tarkov so attractive to a lot of people. You feel like something is at stake and when you die you feel like you gotta recoup your losses instead of being like “oh well.”
Long term stakes are hugely important imo, thats why I've been addicted to games like palworld lately
Damn bruh every ytuber and streamer i see now is addicted to that game, what even is that game and why does everyone like it so much and are addicted @Spyderrock
The finals is fun only because the sequel will be the third TF2
What
@@Spyderrock Team Fortress, Titan Fall, and now The Finals
tarkov is in my opinion the best ego shooter at this time you need to learn the game for hundrets of hours but the progression / lessons learnd are the most enjoyable gaming moments i ever had in a game
i have high hopes for greyzone warfare but it needs many years to compete with the content that tarkov has right now but i will support it
you forgot to mention cheaters are play role for dieing game / ranked had alot of cheaters or so depending on game so it is entire cycle at current model + game being for free also means cheaters can become problem as game becomes more and more popular and many people like me who sees fps free to play already decides it is waste of time as cheaters will come soon and will feel like dev don't care about them and leading them to dieing entire game as nobody wants to play game where they can't get any good no matter what vs other player aka look at leaderborads at finals and you will see most of " top players " are cheaters = hard core fans quit and people who want to get game relizing game is ringed = they switch to other game or quit all together gaming
Switch out dying with declining, thank you
Here’s my question, according to your opinion on the game needing progression, why is tf2 still popular and borderline growing?
Games don’t need progression, but I think it’s a good means to an end to add longevity. If a game is truly great/iconic, something like tf2, it can be kept alive by its community and those who like it a lot. Most games can’t do that though sadly
I think this is actually a pretty telling thing, that you don't seem to realize - if you need an arbitrary checklist to complete, and don't enjoy the core gameplay on its own after you are done with the progression, it just shows you that you weren't interested in the game long term, your are just looking to kill time.
Adding more progression is not a solution, I think it's pretty scary and backwards thinking. I value and cherish those few games I can go back and just enjoy, like Battlefield 1, because they offer rich and challenging gameplay that ticks with me.
I completely disagree with the idea, you are just advocating for people to try to form connections with something that's shouldn't be there to begin with - long term connection with a game? Sounds like a nightmare to me, and a corporation's wet dream to monetize. I just play games to have fun.
BRO I SAID SPLITGATE THE SAME TIME HE SAID IT LMFAOOO @ 0:35
In my opinion if you think FPS games are getting stale or boring you should try a game like rust (its a VERY addictive game so if you have a addictive personality i would not recommend it but thats just my personal opinion)
I hate rust, I also have like 100 hours in it and will probably keep playing lmao
The Finals is too much run & gun now. All the spoiled cod & apex players complained until nothing but guns are meta. It’s sad. I see countless “Fastest Top 500 Light Player” or “Best Light Movement Player” vids on yt. If the game dies it’s cause they ran away the casuals via swamp butt
Good vid
Tbh im fkinf glad, mlre tba. A decade waiting to this boring, stale and overrated genre being left of their forced pedestal and hindered progress in triple A market, lack of progress, lame and overused stories, cheaters, toxicity online, etc...
games that are the same thing repeating overr and over are dying,its nto exclusive to fps
*progression and accomplishment is key*
*CSGO(CS2)* : 1 millions players playing at the same time at any given time.
no progressions, no accomplishments, just play 2-3 strats every rounds on every matches for thousands of hours of gameplay.
so yeah it's more than that, *The Finals* is an amazing game, completely playable, devs listen to players, released 3 patches in the last week alone, but there they are losing its playerbase from 242k at launch, 120k after a week, and now less than 50k 1month and a half later.
FPS market is unpredictable.
but do you know what's not predictable ? nostalgia and brands.
Palworld is basicly a Pokemon+Monster Hunter+Ark (or whatever u think extra in it), and now it has 1 million players login together, and it's still raising. remember TemTem ? arena Pokemon clone ? it was exploded in first month, yes it's now gone quite, but surely it made money, tons of money, and u know what's not making money ? most FPS games on the market, some gonna be releasing soon, and soon enough will be forgotten repeat repeat, while CSGO(CS2) still going strong 5-10 years later.
Palworld slaps
Single Player gamer to Multiplayer gamer:
“Wow, sucks to be you.”
So true, many great single player games been coming out lately
Mlbb hits different
just checking steam, top 10 live player count, 6 out of the 10 are first person shooters........ and than fortnite and valorant that arent on steam
2 words sbmm/eomm
and that is why we need team fortress 3
yea
Cool, you have a great editing, but yeah.. Hope for the best for you..
Just play quake live family
Simplest answer? Shooter games in general lack any form of innovation and increasing the mechanical expression in shooting save for a few. Sure, new movement techs, amazing progression, etc... , but the concept of shooting has remained stagnant since its inception.
Pretty true tbh
CoD is dying. Not the FPS genre.
i dont know if you have heard of this game before. But you should look into and try Ultrakill. it has a satisfying gameplay paired with good movement and story. Also alot of tech to learn but its a singleplayer game
Because of gaming chair knights using theyre superpowers all over the place :DD stop ignoring the real problem pppl
You get bored of the finals cuz yall got no imagination and havent tried the riot shield
Its cus the core of the games are ass
Look at the original halo 3. Perfect. Nothing gets close in modern shooters.
Valorant is doing just fine lol
without love and only want money +
hard SBMM = killing every game
think about it:
-the Finals
-Warzone 1 / 2
-Mw 2
-COD Vanguard
-and so on.....
games with love and where the devs are not money grabbers
-God of war
-Red Dead Redemption 2
- Elden ring
-lethal company :)
Turning every game into cod gets old when you start using your brain cells 😅
@@TheBiggestMoronYouKnow
Cod like games
-Apex legends
-Halo
-xDefiant
These games are like COD or based like that and are successful or becoming successful the braincells i need to have to understand are the braincells you have in general. Have a good day
No its not dying. Stop comparing different times. Its not 2012 anymore. Back then we were not online all that much, the only time we got a new game was when we went to a store found one that looks cool and buy it. There was not a lot of good options we had Battlefield and COD. Now we have Overwatch, Fortnite, Apex, Finals and a fk ton more. People are fluctuating between games. The finals launches, every apex player plays it to try it out, they go back to apex after a week. Its normal, games are not dying because they dont have every single player in their game. You cant say its dead after 1 month. Wait 2 years then we can talk
Ai will change gaming. Check back to this comment in 5 years.
Yeah I’m sure it will more than likely
meh, im now considered old I guess, from what I can tell kids just keep having more adhd type tendencies and less and less attention span, that reflects in the content they consume and the games (and how they play them), there is a saying 'less is more', this new generation grew up with nothing but 'more' and thats all they know, coming from someone who was excited to play on dos then eventually seeing what n64 did with fps, then halo on xbox, counter strike, going all the way to now, this generation has it so good they are overwhelmed with options and become paralyzed, same thing we see when you spend longer looking for a movie to watch on netflix than actually watching it or continuously dating and dumping people to only seek the next best thing and not wanting to settle
That's a really good point, I'm kind of tired of these bla bla genre are dying videos..
the -99% in the thumbnail is so corny i had to come and leave a dislike
Hey, so I think the concept of the video is worth exploring but I don't think lack of progression is the main reason games are dying. The problem with this video is that you hop from subject to subject (kind of like how you speculate that people do with games) without presenting any real evidence beyond your own personal experience. Also, the section on The Finals comes across as more of a review of the game than a case for why FPS multiplayer is dying. I'm not sure why you spent so long talking about it in the grand scheme of the video. Charts that show a decline in playerbase is a good start, but it doesn't really get to the heart of the matter. If you are going to talk about The Finals extensively, maybe make a separate video or contextualize it more by talking about why people are criticizing the game and why they stop playing, because in the current state of the video it doesn't make sense.
I think you glossed over microtransactions too quickly. Also games releasing in a poor state and lack of optimization. If games are going to appeal to a large playerbase and keep them, then developers need to release a good game from the get go. They need to stop prioritizing games that look good on the surface level over games that play well.
It's not just FPS games either. Pretty much all shooters are dying. They are all rigged with very toxic bs which is why. Like in Fortnite or CoD when you clearly see your shots go straight through enemies with zero damage or getting shot through objects meant for cover while seeing the holes in the objects literally because you are too good at the game. Factually how it is too. Halo is dead. Fortnite is dying right now at this moment. Apex is dying for obvious reasons. Halo Infinite is dead for 343 trying toxic business. Battlefield games are dead af. Only online games to live are mmorpg, some racing games,fighting games like Tekken which that scene is exploding with greatness btw. I highly suggest Tekken 8 like alot. Fighting games take skill and in order to even enjoy a game like Tekken. You need skill which is awesome because bad gamers simply don't play them. It's a win win. 👍
I forgot The Finals was a thing and now I am installing it. 🫡
Third person shooters look better and is more fun just from that perspective as we can see the characters. That should be the next focus for big devs. As long as they can polish the mechanics, it'll do good.
