#DOAG . Death of a Game is a series dedicated to uncovering the mysteries surrounding the death of a game or company. nerdSlayer defines the term "death" in the context of the show as either... 1. Literally dead. 2. Had a mass exodus of players and never recovered (expectations etc). 3. The company ceased to exist. We follow a timeline of events, to uncover clues concerning why a game or company doesn't do well, and attempt to put it all together at the end for a deduction explaining how or why the game failed based on the evidence gathered.

That next case audio clip. I'm pretty sure I recognize it from the old Anarchy Online trailer. I loved that game. Hope you will cover it :)
Congrats you are the first 🎉

@@nerdSlayerstudioss so another Funcom game.
I love Anarchy Online. Where my level 24 fixer buds at?
We
I bought a founder for a PvE coop game... and my money went to a battleroyale.
Lol
Same here. Slightly pisses about it..
Same, haven't bought anything epic since
I wait for free version since it annonuced. And when the news came, I already forgot about this mode.
Same.
I am a Founder for Save the World. I wanted to play something chill and instead I helped create an abomination. I apologize to all of humanity, my intentions were pure.
i made this :-)
It always starts with the best of intentions...
Your intentions were.
Epic's and Tencent's were not.
Same. I'm glad I deleted it off my system and I shouldn't be saying that for something I had hope in.
The road to hell is paved with good intentions :3
Remember when they said that the succes of the Battle Royale mode will not influence the production of the main mode?
Once br got popular money did the talking
@@neros1277 yea i recently played save the world all they did was update graphics thats it lmao
@@gyrozeppeli3438 bro there were less Peaple playing it it was basically a failure so they gave up on it among us was also going to get shut down
@@maskedswagger7044 I have no clue what you just typed
@@ven2821 what I'm trying to say is if few players play your game or gamemode it is basically a failure and among us was going to shut down but then it blew up so it motivated them to continue to support it
I played Save the World back in the day...let's just say it remains a pleasant, but distant, memory
I still play it
@@metricmiler9940 same
It’s far better than br
Canny Valley had alot added to it but not much apart from that
I seriously do not understand why they didn't make the mode free when they completely shifted focus to the BR mode and it started making them billions.
extremely unreasonable, now I cant even play stw with my friends without them paying.
You mean Epic has unethical business practices?
It's cause Timmy wants all of the money.
@@TheDeadmanTT it’s not unethical to demand money for a game...
I remember the days when you used to be able to buy a game with your money instead of your privacy. You can currently get involved for like 10 bucks AND get a skin that can be used in BR as well as a nice weapon. . Many people spend this much on one skin in BR all the time and then they still bitch that save the world ain't free. . .
imagine spending years developping a game ... and then one guy come into the office and say : "screw that, let's just make a big height map with loot randomly springled in and throw a 100 player and let them duke it out"
You hate that guy, but then he also kind of made you a lot of money
@@nerdSlayerstudioss idk if you knew this or maybe this ended up not being true, but when epic employees working on fortnite BR came forward with the insane crunch culture surrounding that game, they mentioned how they were "taken from a project full of love and forced to work on a more successful game, working longer and more stressful hours yet still being paid the same"
Imagine getting told you're working on the gamemode that took the parent game's name and having to work harder yet get paid the same.
@@nerdSlayerstudioss imagine thinking devs get higher wages because the game sells. They get their low wage and the rest goes to the CEO and execs
"throw a 100 player"
GENIUS
It really is a shame, because this concept I personally think is fascinating and hasn’t really been done before. There are tons of zombie survival games, and in many of them you can reinforce barriers but nowhere near as complex a system as Fortnite would’ve had. I love the idea of having to spend time gathering materials and customizing defenses based on scenario. But I guess we’ll never get that now
Not zombies but orcs must die is pretty similaaaar
STW is like the older brother that made the parents proud, but when BR was created, its like the parents (epic or tentcent) just gave only BR the attention. The treatment that STW had before slowly became less genuine and less rewarding. BR then became the only child the parents were proud of while STW, trying its best is just never looked at.
Only a matter of time before it takes the easy way out-
Save the world is like a sucessful older brother who had it all before a crash and burn in which his younger brother had been related to.
"Only a matter of time before it takes the easy way out-"

They don't _want_ to work on Save the World anymore, which is exactly why they're still charging money for it. Think about it. They announced they'll be slowing down updates, and every gamer _knows_ that's a death sentence. Existing players will eventually give up and leave, and nobody will come in to replace them because who wants to pay money for a dying game? Then Epic can use low player numbers as an excuse to finally pull the plug.
This hurts to read but you are right i feel like. The god damn writing is on the wall
Scott Kruger Yup. This is exactly what happened with Paragon. And I totally hate Epic Games for that
If they're making less back on the investment they put in, compared to if they just invested those resources elsewhere where they might make more, well, that's just good business practices. Shitty situation for the community though.
I think they just dont want to waste ANY time of STW whatsoever. If i remember correctly, they did talk about Fortnite 2 developing for new gen consoles. And guess what mode it will most probably be? That's right, BR.
They just want to finally cut STW down, to not waste anything on it anymore. Hope BR will fail hard and Epic will take a HARD blow.
@@KingPalico They had no choice but to shut it down
Remember how Save the World has been going FTP "soon" for over 3 years😂😂
While this may be a niche reference, it reminds me of signs in the Mineplex lobby that said parkour would be coming soon. It never did, Fortnite will likely follow the same pattern.
They made a comment last year that STW is going to stay behind a pay wall.
Good times
What can’t afford 40$ ? Or even 20$ when it was half price
They lied to us
I remember they said Save the World will eventually become free...
I feel lied to.
That’s because you were lied to. We all were.
I had to pay additional money price just to "Save the World" after purchasing the base game itself >:O.
@Jewish-Mandrill when I first got Fortnite it was free.... (multiplayer wise)
save the world greeted me with the *"press X to PURCHASE"* message.
Man at this point epic should just make it free to play because it would revive the game. But I just realized why they didn't make it free to play. If u got fortnite stw for free you could get vbucks for free. Which is bad for a company like epic. So in turn they won't ever do it unless there game is on a hardcore downward spiral and needs a slight revival.
if they made it free to play right now, it would be very popular. but they wont do it cause it keeps br in beta and cheep free updates that bend the rules of psn, xbox and other services. makes them way more money, witch is what they only care about.
Came here to pay my respects. Fortnite’s concept struck me as an interesting idea and so I did what any other curious person would and pre ordered the founder’s edition of the game. I played it for months on end until I got bored of the rinse and repeat missions. Then, for no reason at all Battle Royale blew up. And at first, it was a good thing, until it wasn’t. A good and beloved game had to die so a fun, less fleshed out one could live.
This is me, except I joined later, and never got bored of the game.
Did you get the renegade raider tho?
Want to know why Fortnite really blew up? I remember. There was no other BR game on PS4, PS4 players were begging for Pubg to come out on PS4 but instead if was an Xbox exclusive. So once Fortnite came to PS4 gamers, it was a completely new genre, not to mention the rest of the shooting games that year were bad (correct me if I’m wrong, but that was the year Infinite warfare was released). Make no mistake, if PS4 had been given Pubg when its player base was at an all time high, I think it would’ve squashed any potential Fortnite would have had. The majority of the hype of Fortnite came from PS4 and it struck us as a new genre of gaming
@@I_am_a_cat_ We all have different ways that we approach situations. In my opinion it’s better to try something firsthand than to let someone else’s idea of it dictate your stance on it. Could have phrased my original comment better but you get the point.
Bro do u still have the steel account? Was wondering if u craft legacies
"... Tencent."
Ah.
Clue...
Tencent and EA will forever be the villain scum that brought "games as a service" model into the limelight for me. I hate it so much because how much it has affected creative integrity of the video game industry.
@@X1erra Tencent has stakes in reddit and discord too btw

As one of the 18 people who played the game before battle royale, this hits home
It hurts because I was there since the e3 trailer. I wanted the survival, horror, and building that it should’ve been
@@thetriborg9588 yea
@@thetriborg9588 that is true
I played it before BR too but it was never going to go anywhere with STW to begin with. The BR mode just came out at a perfect time when PUBG and similar style games were starting to get big traction. Also the free to play/ little kids factor made them divert so much dev time
Yeah back then the game was more serious and not the cringefest it has become.
Hi, so I wanted to point out that there is another side of the whole "veteran players not being retained" thing you briefly touched upon, and another possibly factor for the large decline in playerbase outside of what had already been mentioned. The players' culture namely. This is going to be a tad lengthy.
I'm someone who played STW for a long time, before BR came out. Not quite early release-release for reference. There was rampant problems where the community was not managed well. AFK/abusive players would get away scott-free because epic's report system was rather non-functional. This is important for later.
Shortly after the release of BR, things were going well and the new blood was curious about STW. It was a joy having new players to teach and those were the funnest moments I had with STW in a long while after the perpetual radio silence we experienced for months. We even started getting big updates to streamline progress and various quality of life. Those were good times.
Soon after "trading" became a big thing, especially among the younger portion of the playerbase. Not trading for resources, but for weapons. Weapons that merely had a legendary quality (not even being good as a weapon by gameplay standards) were highly valued by children like pokemon cards. Normally weapon-trading would be a boon since you had to fight the microtransactions to get anything worthwhile/usable later on. However in this case many children would disrupt actual gameplay to trade these weapons. This trading culture can still be seen today if you look up save the world, you *will* see at least one "scam/trade" video. It got so bad we lost global chat to it due to the spam/overload. So instead of sticking to that global chat, they would wander missions instead, not even playing the game half the time while being unwilling to learn the actual game on the other side of the coin.
See, I could put up with a lot of Epic's lying and radio silence. I went in used to it. It's when the community itself turned sour over time. Griefing, scamming, boxing people in, trolling, all became normal. STW was milked for vbucks so the BR-primary playerbase could purchase their skins with it instead of progress: which over time became more accessible, which then also lead to them reaching the endgame areas instead of the earlier areas (where veterans were able to hide once upon a time).
The community went bad, there was no moderation, epic was entirely silent, and what little gameplay I enjoyed over time was taken over by nerf culture every time a challenge mode similar to the 14-day survival was made. If I couldn't enjoy the game anymore, and I couldn't enjoy the players in a co-op multiplayer build-and-shoot, then what's the point?
I also had my account stolen once over the trading phenomena, but miraculously the thief in question (who had sold my account according to the new "friends" on my list) didn't change the password. I did so. The new owner nor their informative friend were happy. I restocked myself in no time because I knew where to find everything. This isn't to highlight the lack of intelligence or stupidity involved in this scenario, but to highlight that people were stealing and selling accounts and resources over save the world's honestly easy-to-farm materials and such. Because of trading. I also made a ticket to epic support and their automated(?) responder told me to report bugs in-game after writing several paragraphs detailing my missing items, suspicious friends added to my friend's list, and even the conversation involving them selling my account.
The big things that killed the veteran playerbases' confidence in epic wasn't just the silence, it was the continued unpunished abuse and series of poorly-implemented systems that punished legitimate players. We've had malfunctioning afk-kickers, we've had actual afks/leeches go on unchecked. I haven't come back in years and every time I peek my head in to check how STW is doing nothing has really changed. The same complaints from years ago continue on.
It's just sad, man. I just wanna build.
Amen to that. This one really hit
Thank you, this needed to be said. I was 13 when I got the game, and spend every waking hour of my summer holidays playing this. I would always watch this guy called Ser Jaust's stream, god I loved this game. I guess this game personified what heartbreak is, because even now I miss it dearly.
I know i sound like an old man here, but kids legit ruined fortnite, and everything else they touch. The game is essentially one big kids show now.
Amen to this brother, we veterans of Save the World, and just Fortnite in general, have had nowhere to hide for a long time... Homebase is fogging up...
All us Founders, in one emoji: -_-
Same here. Although I’m continuing to STAND AND FIGHT!
@@cadetcrockett2276I quit shortly after Czecher did
@Thanos Guy
I’m willing to see it through to the end. Even though the higher-ups at Epic don’t care about it, I still genuinely enjoy the game at its core.
I don’t recommend it. Played the whole game through I’m at pl 129 yet the f’ing game is trash when you try to level up. The rinse and repeat is going to make you want to stop playing the game. Honestly get all mythical from stw and just dip. If they wanted a future on the game they could have made it. And if you like pve move on to other games like destiny 2 and such. Those games actually have a dev team working hard.
@ITz Exodus
I’m pl 131 and have every myhic. I’m continuing to play since I enjoy the game at its core. Also, did you move to Destiny 2 because of Demonjoefrance?
I remember when this was all that Fortnite was
And then when the BR trend popped off Fortnite made their own version and for some reason it became the staple BR
I just still can't believe some random ass game hopped on a genre trend and became the biggest game in the world
isnt it the first "free" br game ? and toddler friendly help the rating too i suppose
@@MefoWho It was the first non-realistic one iirc. H1Z1 hadn't thrown away its gameplay mechanics yet and PUBG was the top dog. Being the first major free one also helped 100%
@@Quinny_Winny exactly right even the art style and animations targeted kids 12 and under
Very fluid gameplay loop (play, die, leave, and immediately re-queue).
Super simple gameplay and inventory management compared to predecessors.
The base game's mechanics just worked well enough even after transfer.
Younger audience targetted compared to old Arma/DayZ/Pubg breed where BR emerged.
Far from a "random-ass" game.
@@Quinny_Winny can you expand on this? Sounds interesting
"Fortnite's player-versus-player has a long way to go before it's as compelling as its cooperative campaign"
I'll take "Statements That Didn't Age Well" for 500 please
I agree!.... because thats exactly the case despite save the world's decrepidness ;_; I think save the world had a chance to overtake battle royale again but they saw their golden goose the moment its shell was cracking and broke that shell open
So a few new voice lines and the same structure to a mission is more expensive than multiple avengers crossovers? Aight epic
Tencent: *Approaches*
Decent dev team/managers/talents: "Aight, imma head out 😒"
Lord I remember first hearing about Fortnite in a review; "Huh, what a neat survival game about storm zombies?" how different things were then...
It reminded me of cod zombies a bit
Ngl I was actually interested in that point in time. Then my interest dropped quicker than steel balls.
So MagmaMusen once was sponsered by Fortnite . I was like '' It would not be that good probably '' Little did I know ...
I remember watching an ad for Fortnite STW before the Battle Royale portion was even announced. Thought to myself "This looks cool, but I don't think it will be as big as GOW" Boy did I fuck up that prediction
Save the World should have been an open world survival mode where what you build stays. Where you can invite your friends to play on your works. Random events would happen, NPCs would show up and give you quests, and night time would be dangerous.
Fortnite:WorldBlock!
Minecraft but Skyrim? (I dunno if that works)
Not really, stw is fine as it is, the thing is that it didn’t get much support. You’re basically suggesting a Minecraft ripoff.
Like Fallout 76?
Im pretty sure the game was supposed to be that, when i first head of developement of it, thats the idea they gave everybody when they were working on it
Update, in the past half a year, two major quality of life updates had been released (although they are sweet it’s somewhat trivial in terms of it’s overall impact) they added wildlife, and gave it a mobility overhaul where you can sprint, mantle, slide, and yes dear player, even crouch. It only took them four years to do thisahahahhaaaaa
I've played a lot of stw, but got "bored" after a time. I still follow the game players and leakers, hopefully, one day, I'll came back to play again
@@ricdesc26
Honestly understandable game has definitely hit a wall of sorts when it came to content, and only recently have they kinda added to it by porting over features from BR*, like tameable wildlife and the movement Ill admit mantling, sprinting, and *crouch* kinda breathed a bit more life into the game albeit for a moment or two.
P.S. There really needs to be a discussion and even potential civil suit against Epic...
Technically speaking, Epic used funds from one game to directly fund another venture, without ever delivering on the perceived promises originally put forth - AKA the reason why people gave up their money in the first place.
I can understand the idea of a spin off mode being funded by Epics with the profits they made from Fortnite originally...but when a company promises one thing, requires people to pay in advance to fund the development of said thing to completion and then turns around and abandons the project for no LEGITIMATE reason, only to use that money to fund something else that originally people never agreed to fund...some kind of law must have been broken.
Especially since at the time, STW was never in a state of ‘failing’ or financially troubled. I mean if Epic already had enough resources from Fortnite STW, to make another mode within the same game...odds are, the game was somewhat financially successful.
Last time I checked, making people pay for one thing - not delivering said thing, then using the money from the promised thing to fund something else that original buyers did not originally agree upon purchasing...is against the law in some countries. And at the least, would hold up in civil suit regarding business practices in many other countries.
Bro you could do that but for what they aren’t ea or activation
@@Bolt451 they still scammed people lol
Well theres an issue with this. The court system is kinda bad at handling this when it comes to games. Look at No Mans Sky when it launched. People tried but the court dismissed it over 1 small thing. It wasnt false advertising if they promised multiplayer and such, they only looked at the the back of the final retail box and it said "1 player only"
And everything else that box said it had was in some way "technically" true even though the advertising and developers promised something different.
The court system only sees the packaging and the final retail product as what to review. Not the leadup to it. If that was the case we would've seen many lawsuits over the years but its not how it works.
@@Bolt451 theyre on the same scumbag level as EA or Activision/Blizzard
I can’t imagine there being any problem with that. There are plenty of instances where companies presumably use the money earned from one game to develop another game. And I can’t imagine there being anything illegal about a company giving up on a game that they deem isn’t worth pursuing. And it’s not like people paid for a game and weren’t given a game. They just weren’t given what they were expecting. It’s scummy and shitty, sure, but I don’t think there’s anything anyone can really do about that.
It's funny that the game mode with less thought process and less effort was actually more successful than the original mode which was very interesting considering they wanted to do a different shooter game
It feels so...surreal. Like making a masterpiece and people praise your sketches...
IM TOO LAZY For a profile pic well technically Save the world was still a sketch just a more detailed one
@jocaguz18 I dont know about og Mazinger Z but Shin Mazinger Zero actually made me cry. It was beautiful for a non fan like me and the ending was so epically made.
Sometimes simple is the best
Trends are more popular than effort
Worse part is now it seems like they are trying to bring STWs story into the current Fortnite story. That big cutscene before the map got flooded puts you in Agent Jonesys office fir a minute and if you looked around there were tons of references that suggested it was the save the world erm....world.
Not to mention everything that has happened in br, is in stw. Kevin the cube? Yup. Storm king? Yup. The butterfly event? Yup.....
eh, no
@@MegaNekoPower actually I think Storm King was in Save The World before Battle Royale
I think people are forgetting that BR is a simulation made by vindertech(or in this case home base) since they didn't fully understand the storm
@@ZaFakeFoilo a gaym theory
For weeks there was a big that made the end game boss almost unplayable. It hurt your eyes and made it almost impossible. They didn't revert the change or fix it. The endgame boss, unbeatable for WEEKS.
For over a month there was another game breaking bug that allowed unlimited damage, health, resources, healing, and basically made God mode available in seconds. The hardest missions were easy to do solo. They wouldn't fix it because that would require forcing BR to update. Around this time I quit Fortnite and moved on to Destiny 2 where I have have way more fun.
Reminds me of 2018. gamebreaking bugs for months not fixed. I'm talking about joining player freezing the game for everone for 2-10 seconds as also the gameserver randomly crashing, taking the invested ressources and obviously not getting the win. So goddamn frustrating.
Oh yeah and then they forced us BR Royale, 50GB of something we don't even want.

I was one of those original founding members who bought the game within the first week of launch and played for about a solid 2 years. The games more dedicated audience mostly came from other looter shooter games like Borderlands, which made sense since is gun design and gameplay were both pretty fun and creative. But not to go to a huge rant on the communitt itself, alot of issues and causes for players to leave the game Suprisenly wasnt burnout but lack of community mangement from Epic. As founding members most of the early months of the game were about figuring what was good, what was what, and grinding since you needed to do alot. In fact leaving the first area of the game, Stonewood, it was rare to have more then 1 or 2 legendary weapons. This created a player base where it was common to have player swap weapons or drop a gun for those who help or have good sportsmanship since the lack of good weaponry was a community issue. Over time Epic increased the drop rates on higher rarity cards, made the perks on weapons easier to control, and even made V-bucks so easy to get that the grind for them felt like basic dailies instead of the traditional F2P grind. All in All the game felt easy to get into and getting a good (or over powered)weapon or hero didnt take much anymore. But issues arouse because of how new players entered the game and how they were treated. Older players would hand out strong guns, as customary, as they go throw their basic vbuck grind or as a handout to a friend who just joined the game. To these new players these guns became gold to them. They traded them, sold them, bought them, and even ignored what the game was cause all they saw was cool looking guns. These were the trade kids and they were toxic.
Many of them stagnated themselves in early game and would barely participate in mission. While much of the community tryed to expand the knowledge of and help new players, trade kids ignored all the systems in game for " ohhh shiny strong gun". This created a toxic hard to play environment for low level and in higher levels they were often very low leveled, ill equipped (refusal to use their strong guns), and often demanded others to supply them with weapons since they wouldnt have any of their own to make since they didnt engage with the systems to level and make their own strong weapons. The chat system in game was often filled with them begging for trades, and they community experience overall was sour for anyone who didnt have someone to team up with.
This all was a massive turn away that ultimately made me leave the game even though I did enjoy it alot. Epics refusal to deal with these issues and the other developmental issues were the death of the game in my eyes. Because for us gamers who enjoy looter shooters, what we enjoy is shooting fun guns and having characters we play be designable to how we like to play and fortnite STW had all of that in spades.
TL;DR: Trade kids suck, BR and tencent screwed a game with amazing passion and vision, and fuck all of you who told me LMGs were bad. Mercury LMG and HackSaw are OP.
honestly surprised he didn’t cover that in the video, when i purchased the game in the spring of 2018, all i wanted to do was trade and get cool guns until i saw how enjoyable the game actually was, i got to power level 114 and just could not do it anymore it was so incredibly boring
@@benwarford8915 its something you kinda had to ve there for as the most things people know about from STW is just the scammer gets scammed stuff. The end game did an issue with keeping up with content but someone could easily drop 100+ hoyrs before getting there.
As someone who played this when it first came out I loved the community, it made me so sad to see it become a HUSK of what it once was.

Imagine all the cool monster bosses they could have made for save the world it's called save the world not survive the husks so no rules they could have made Al different kinds of threats to the planets each season game had so much potential
*husk*
It’s like a Kickstarter project, yet it’s a multi billion dollar company
while i do agree in a sort. thats very dumb lol. The way the br took off is unlike any other game ever. NOT shifting their entire focus in a business (and practical seeing as its easier to update a BR) sense would have been the stupidest move in all of gaming production history. so while u can feel "betrayed" know that betrayal came with lifetime memories for millions more than the original idea would have.
almost a year later and the most STW has gotten was some QOL improvements, some minor quest lines that felt like they where taken out of a bigger story and its taken the remaining STW team around 3 months to create a new dungeon wing. 3 months for a 10-15 minute side event mission.
Meanwhile BR has had crossover after crossover with tournament after tournament. A comic series with DC and is still going strong with C2S7 being highly praised. As of writing this, one of BRs crossover events is stated to have STWs storm king with a completely revamped arena and some changes to the design, in that event and I wouldnt be surprised if STW isnt even mentioned or got the changes involved.
IMO its a miracle that STW is still around.

I was genuinely looking forward to the "Save the World" mode which was gonna be free to play. Then it never was, and now its pretty much dead.
Same. I wanted to play it with my friends.
Same here, I am a huge fan of Dungeon Defender games and when I first heard about STW I was ecstatic that another studio was dipping into the TD genre
the whole devolution of STW with priority of BR has just made me disappointed. Not too bad though, I did almost get STW but im glad I didn't, because I would've been pissed at the complete abandonment of the project i wanted to support. Ah well.
Same, I was constantly expecting it to be F2P "soon" as they said, but it broke my heart when they announced it would stay a paid game.
Well its not dead its not gonna be for a long time
Still a fun game to play its not like it its stw final downfall. People are still playing everyday you still should get it if you havent already
I’m actually really happy you took the time to talk about fortnite save the world props to you man
Save the world in the beginning was so fun. As someone who wasn’t (and still isn’t lol) good at pvp shooters, it was a great step into that world. But now it’s glitchy as ever, it’s so difficult to find players to play with, and the repetitive nature of the events are laughable. I constantly have issues with the servers matching me and most of the missions are hard af to do for one person (as well as the pressure on one persons resources). People used to pop into sessions all the time, now I’m lucky if I get matched in with more then one other player.
Thank you for covering this often overlooked game!

It’s funny how this was to be the only game and the BR mode was a ripoff thrown together in a month.
The main game was ment to be focused on Melee combat. Thats why gunplay is and was suler clunky
They were able to salvage most of the game mechanics from StW which allowed them to release it so soon. We could say, that StW played a big part in BR's success.
If you actually think Fortnite is a "ripoff" then you can *fuck* off. Battle Royale games are a genre, they're formulaic. What's next, you gonna call Sonic the Hedgehog a ripoff of Super Mario Bros. because they're both platformers?

This one hurts. I loved this game so much, but their latest thing was "Hey, remember how you used to play with your friends? Well now there's a whole new grind and you can't play with any of your friends until you get up to their level!" Noped right out of there, wasn't going to do a hundred hours of grinding just to play with my friends.
Robert Patrician it’s literally hundreds of hours to this isn’t even an exaggeration
cause lvls 1 to carried to twinepeaks lvl 20 can beat the game just for some scammed things
Are you referring to Ventures? Or the game itself?
I was one of the founders. Literally sunk day after day playing Save the World. I loved every minute of it, met some pretty cool people and had a blast just defending my own actual fort that the game clearly fucking advertised for. Then this BR bullshit came around and the updates became stale, stagnant. It was clear they just didn't care about those who were loyal in the first place and finally off'd support for StW.
I hated every BR gamemode in a game ever since.
sad
Same here, although I found STW through BR, and I fell in love he game, and have been enjoying it for years to come. I was heartbroken by the “state of development”.
This is just greed now, there was no passion in STW at all, just a way to make money for big daddy Tencent
I bought the founder's pack in 2017 too but only to support the whole game. I almost exclusively play the BR mode (always have) but I respect the hell out of all you guys who were on the hype train early. I've progressed somewhat in STW but to me the game has way too many aspects to keep track of in order to be enjoyable in the long run.
I’m a pretty late founder from end of 2018 (In December) but I cared for the game until the f’ing drop. I was PL 129 and worked my ass off for the game. I got all mythic consuming even more of my time. Man I wish I knew they would drop stw so I could just stop playing it. Honestly once they said their update schedules were going to be different that’s when my heat sank.
I’ve recently gotten back on STW and I was sorely disappointed.
While I admit I found STW from BR I had WAY more fun on STW and for months my time was slowly being put more into STW than BR then I quit BR. Dedicating my free time into playing it. I even passed my friend in progress in 5 months while he’d been playing for 10. I then read “The State of Development” I was shattered. And after that I just dedicated the rest of my time to another game Destiny 2. I’ve come back last week and I was sad to see empty servers. The once booming servers of finding a match immediately gone. I wish there was more development and I sure hope Epic doesn’t pull the plug. If any of my Home-base Commanders are out there and still playing, I love ya and thanks for trying to keep the game alive.
I’m here
Also looking for a team of commanders as I can’t find any

As a fan of your work and someone who watched Save The World grow up since 2014, it was heart breaking to see this video title.
damn, everyone jumped ship after Tencent moved in, huh?
I don't blame them one bit.
There was an interview where Drew Karpyshyn (the writer behind the Mass Effect universe) elaborated on his departure from the company. When EA bought out Bioware from Microsoft, the creative freedom the developer once had was gone. Karpyshyn explained that he felt like the creative aspect behind developing the ME series was removed in favor of "proven marketing schemes." What was once a fun job turned into just another mundane one that lacked the creative liberties Karpyshyn once had. (This is a rough quote from what he had said).
Once these big money companies move in the studio is no longer trying to make a great game. They just want to make a vehicle to extract more money from the customers.
Hi nerdSlayer,
I am a big fan of the “death of a game” series a couple a days a go my favorite game franchise died with the death of a game called “Plants vs Zombies: Battle for Neighbourville” (it’s a third person hero shooter made by EA) the game only lived for less than a year (11 months)
Have a good day and sorry for the non-existant punctuation :(
No problem and thanks for the suggestion 😁
nerdSlayer Studios wow… I had no idea that you would actually reply, thanks man!
I think that BFN has failed because it was totally different from GW1 and GW2 people wanted another garden warfare game and they found what looked like a bad ripoff ti was slow paced and just worst than the older games.
Anyway i liked some new features like the multiplayer carachters like the pace station and the tree they were pretty fun
Leonardo Pacei I agree with every word you just said it’s a shame to see the pvz shooters die
They fired the original plants vs zombies artist
Epic added ventures and tbh it wasn't bad. Extreme grinding. But when I found out that it'll take about 5 years to get to max level (pl 145).. I was done. Not to mention no Twine Peaks story and constant repetitive events. Save the World is now dead.😢
He can’t say that , that would be rude to make an video like that. Personally I played 3 years straight and earn all achievements and practically have everything. After they announced no new updates or whatever I gave up and let go and trust me a lot of high end players Gave up as well. Only new players are enjoying the content now.
not really 5 years, just 600 hours of playtime. to be fair i got double that on a game i've played for 8 months. im g a m e r
@@arms.3559 oh thanks
Sad thing is, I was really interested in the tower defense version of the game. Though I didn't (and still don't) have any desire to play the battle royale, I was hoping that version would only help fund the original. Nope.
I wish they would give people who preordered Fortnite a skin in BR or something. Because I feel like I haven't gotten my money's worth.
Facts bro the only cool mode I had fun with was survive the storm
@@godlyxferris3863 i have some founders skins in BR, but they are really basic.
Theres a founder only pick, glider, backpack, and soldier jonesy.... is that enough? Maybe for teir 1 packs sure. But tbh, if they just gave each packs heroes as skins, we would be fine. But they wont.
I bought the "better" package with one special weapon and hero. Now i have all 3 of them for a game no one plays anymore.
my girlfriend showed me that one character from save the world was actually available for sale in the BR store for $10. Super sad that founders didn't get much.
In terms of concept, Fortnite Save the World has better art style then Fortnite BR.
Fortnite BR on the other hand kinda lost that identity.
It's just a parasite that leeches off the famous franchises. Did you see the latest trailer for a new season? Cringefest is what it is. There's no identity for BR. Just a cosmetics shop with a side game.
@@ArioDragon sadly it's how it is, just to keep Fortnite BR going
Especially with all the crossover crap thats been happening recently
Spiro Dra play something else nobody stopping you
@@Quartzer. it's a battle royal. what did you expect.
I'm getting sick of hearing that smh.
I remember seeing every trailer of StW and being amazed like just wow. I can't wait to play this game and then BR came along and it turned to this fiesta.
This video makes me want to give Save the World a second chance. I whaled hard on this game to cope with my restrictive schedule, and it left a bad taste in my mouth. I still have good memories of playing this game itself though.
You should! I still play it and it's a good game to pass the time
I love how many kids and some adults thought that Fortnight started as a BR from the get go. I remember the game informer page and the polygon article, it could've been so much more than it is now, not that what it had become isn't precisely enjoyable, but back then at least for me, was a dream.
I'm not sure what's wrong about not knowing a game's full history if you play it? I mean, you don't have to know that the Spy class in TF2 was caused by a Quake glitch, or that rocket jumping wasn't an intended feature to play the game.
When creative was added they pushed half the save the world devs to creative and that's when the players of stw really saw epic really didn't care that there original game was done and that a new game mode was more important to them. It really shows that money talks
Yeah :( the saddest part for me is when they straight up just added stw materials into br straight up and thst makes me so mad if kids who never played save the world are like :OMG NEW STUFF WOWOOWOWWOWWOWOWOWOWOWOWOOOOOWWWWWW
And I see that and think to save the world then get infuriated
:(
A funny thing is, I only got into STW because of a bug that let me play it for free, that I discovered on my own, at 12am.
I kept playing till 2am, and I was hooked afterwards. If only they made it free, nowadays there's no downside.
The bug was in the menu to choose stw or br, unplug & plug router, the game wouldn't check to see if you had stw when the internet got on again.
ONLY good thing I will say about Epic:They granted my friend and I refunds on the founders pack + Llamas, when we asked in early 2018. I saw the writing on the wall when only 2 biomes were finished, and a mobile BR app was announced.
I later had to contact them to get my account deleted, as I was SICK of seeing "Someone is trying to aces your account" for a stupid pvp mode I never wanted.
Save the World is.. was honestly my favorite looter and my preferred game over BR, having clocked into both of them over 3000 hours combined as of some time last year when I detached myself from the game. I like grindy games and the resources & how the game managed them was perfect, I liked the complicated yet intuitive skill and survivor trees, but I don't think even Epic knew what made it so great. People wanted the story to continue, the one that was released only half finished, events and just more of the game. Nobody asked for the skill trees, schematics, menus and all that to get reworked - but that's what they did. It took them 6 years to publish half of the game, after year to publish another quarter and to this day -EVEN WITH THE GAME BEING FULLY RELEASED, they've yet to finish the remaining quarter. I find it insulting and hypocritical of them to promise the game to be finished & launched for free during the spring of 2018, then delayed indefinitely only to be released as a paid product and still unfinished, with the promise of slowing down the update process. We all know very well why this happened. Added content is recycled from BR or previous events, very rarely you get something, anything new and when you do, it usually is there to screw up the games economy and previously established features. Remember the trading scene? Full of kids trying to get your guns but it was still a lot of fun. Now there are no such things as "rare guns".
I'm going off on a tangent, one which I see no final point to, but where I wanted to get to was basically that the updates they did make were the wrong ones, ones that changed the game for the worse and now we're just waiting for Epic to Paragon it.
It’s sad that the aspect of trading is what made it popular, instead of the game itself. It’s a slap in the face whenever I tell people that I’m into STW, and they immediately assume I scam kids for guns, although I’m power level 131.
@@cadetcrockett2276 yeah.. all though I'd be impressed if anyone is still doing it, considering it has pretty much become redundant in the last 2/half years. I liked the game mainly for the game itself, it was fun and the mechanics were good.

I’m playing it right now, lol.
There’s also a few TH-camrs that still play it, such as A1getdismoney, Beast, RoundedTikTak, etc.
Your tangent is for all the silent people out there that think the same
This comment is going to get buried but... Me and my pals started playing november 2017 and fought thru every BR season until the tenth, but also the StW component. If I'm not mistaken, back in 2018, epic was saying that the 4 or 5 stages (cant remember) were part of one campaign of many to come, and to top it all, the next one would take you to the moon. When the storm king was released, we were so hyped that actually got the pin and waited for the next story component to arrive, bur it never did. Its quite sad actually given that we invested so much time on both games and both ended in disappointment. Loved your video BTW!
Battle royal is just a different game then what it was before not a disappointment
I must say, I really enjoyed this video! This is the first video of yours that I have watched and I really must say I love your channels aestathic.
The transistion are mooth. Your avatar is simple, tgough I like for that reason. And I stayed attentive during the whole video! I must say you are a talented scriptwriter. I hope I'll see another video of yours soon again.
i remember when the PVP mode came out and they said "its a temporary thing just to se how it works" and i said they will focus all assets on ti as everyone and their mothers wants pvp over campaign modes, none believed me...
The original fortnite could have been a good game.
After playing the battle royale when it first came out, i found it really fun but as a person who isn’t a fan of multiplayer games, it didn’t stick. Then I saw that fornite was a pve game originally and that made me very intrigued. I already liked the way it played so it was very appealing. I didn’t end up playing it but the interest was still there since I believed that they could eventually make it free or offer a demo for people to try. Also believed if they would add the stuff they did for the battle royale, Many of the new things the battle royale has gotten has been meet with criticism due to throwing game balance out of the window. An issue that doesn’t really exist in pve games.
Like just imagine killing zombies while flying planes or using mechs etc. It sounds fun to me.
However Epic has disappointed people once again. Right now fortnite’s community is deteriorating and the apple lawsuit isn’t helping as people are feeling used by the company to fight another big corporation just to get their game back. Most that’s left are kids and new comers who don’t know better. Such a shame.
Dude, come on. The community has been "deteriorating" since Season 7, and yet it's still one of, if not the biggest game in the world. And "new comers who don't know better" sounds like you're calling people fucking delusional for not sharing your opinions on something they don't have to care about.
Could have? It is a good game, also its free to play ;)
SpringyPlush64 being one of the biggest games in the world doesn’t mean much when it’s mostly children playing the game. They don’t care about a game’s quality or how it respects their time. Epic can’t improve and change their games if their audience aren’t old or intellectually capable to give criticism or suggestions.
And yeah, people are delusional if they are supporting epic during this lawsuit. Epic is trying to make their current community rebel against Apple. A multi billion dollar corporation using its users as a way to fight another multi billion dollar corporation. It’s not a small issue. They have to be delusional or at least children if they don’t realise that. Ignoring the current situation is what makes these big companies take advantage of people like you.
James King I said Original Fortnite. The Save the World game, not the battle royale. Save the World isn’t free either. I have played the battle royale but I couldn’t care less about it. Was fun a few times but preferred Save the World over it.

Fortnite Save The World being left behind was the biggest gaming upset for me, EVER. I paid the 120$ package, pulling 2 other friends into the game with me. I saw so much potential and it honestly has some of my favorite weapons in any game. My favorite weapon was easily the shotgun sniper. So much fun.
I remember when I heard about the news of Save the World. I'm actually quite interested in the game, and I like the artstyle. Who would've thought that this game would change directions drastically?
Hold up, you're telling me the people who made Painkiller worked on fortnite? man what a waste of talent. Good thing they broke free of tencent and their puppet tim.
Oh my god I totally forgot that game (I know it's blasphemous to admit that).
What a game huh ? Insane gigantic bosses, kickass weapons ...and fun combat. They need to revive this game. A remake or something.
Almost two years later and Epic still hasn't really done a lot with it, not even update it to include mechanics which exist in BR. All those of us founders really just helped BR to then be forgotten, it sucks.

@@tc-up2yw scammed can't buy games????
@@tc-up2yw that is literally the farthest conclusion from the reason they actually did away with stw, but ok then
Fortnite STW is one of the most interesting cases and you did a great job as always covering tho there is also one other big issue that helped cause some big problems and that was the emergence of some of the voice cast in getting other roles. The VA for Ramirez Adria Arjona for instance was one of the major focal points of the story but she began to get large roles once the game was already out for a bit thus they ended up re-writing the whole story to focus more on Penny and changed so much. This altered what would’ve been the final campaign. As someone who played from day one it made it really jarring and left a lot open. It’s really interesting to think if things would’ve been different had they planned more ahead with the story and find out from staff how much they had already prepped that they had to abandon. It really is quite the case study
Bruh u are like the tro of video games good job i also love your editing
I remember having a friend buying a Fortnite 4-pack deal and giving me one of the copies.
I remember him asking my first reaction and I called it "Minecraft, with guns and a slapstick cartoon style." The style reminded me of Dead Island crossed with TF2, and it kind of grew on me. The guns were pretty decent, the concept of building a base made you have to work together, and pickaxing your way Red Faction-style through a house never got old.
We saw BR releasing and I laughed it off, since they already stole Minecraft's idea for zombie tower defense, and now they were going to take MC Hunger Games.
Haven't watched this video, but I know it'll hurt.
