I also uninstalled xDefiant recently. It dawned upon me that I'd rather my last memory would be of me having fun and going off on the Rayman map as opposed to clinging to this game's corpse till the last bitter day of the shutdown. I might reinstall if the community does something on the last week before closure, but it's best to let our beloved game rest in peace. Ubisoft sent this game out to die and look how far our boy ran. I'm proud of Rubin's team for what they did under the toxic employ of Ubisoft and I'm glad to have been part of this little community. Rest easy xDefiant o7
You are hands down one of my favorite commentators at the moment, and I'll gladly be following whatever path you decide to take. Also maybe I'll see you on some Gears of War E-Day sauce, I can't wait for that game!!!
You were the first wtach i gave to when the game's shutdown was announced. I remember what you said. It sticks. "Uh... with that being said, as always, i'm very appreciative for you guys taking the time to listen, to watch... you know and uh... yeah this channel wouldn't have been where it is right now if it wasn't for you guys and XDefiant and... that will always remain the truth, and uh... and yeah. So... Thank you. For everything." You made me sad, and you still make me sad, Jak. Thank you for your presence among the community. We built great memories, even though i was watching silently from the other side of the world through my screen. Thank you for everything. 🙂
Don't blame you JOAT. Although I enjoy XD, I have stepped away from FPS and drifted more towards solo, strategy and RPG type games the last few years and for numerous reasons. 1 - My age. I could get nukes in earlier CODS but as I'm now in my time in life where my reflexes have been deteriorating for more years than they were developing, it gets harder to keep performing. 2 - cheaters. They're bloody everywhere nowadays. From 'soft' cheats such as Cronus (which has a continual wait time so go knows how many units are sold daily) to hard hackers like aimbot/walls etc. I find myself now becoming distrusting of my gaming colleagues. Are they just cracked, or are they cheating in one way or the other, even 'just' a Cronus? 3 - TTV and monetisation. Also ties into point 2 but so many main character syndrome players sweating their asses off thinking the world needs to watch them game, and pay for it of course, the whole online FPS experience is now just soooo sweaty. Can't run goofy loadouts and f*ck about like back in the day, just get stomped if not using 'the meta'. Old man's rant over. 👴😆 Good luck with your new gaming ventures JOAT.
@@theduftmeister Every point you make is absolutely golden. It sucks because when you try and have fun while using goofy load outs, people will genuinely get pissed off even if it’s working. Single player and Co-op really is the way to go now tbh. Pure competition is gone anyways with all the algorithms and hackers so the thrill there is gone. Age also means maturity and the fact that games just aren’t as fun as real life . It is especially true that video games are kinda lame if you’ve actually lived the video games you play like I have. I just use games to train cognitive function since the community aspect is trash nowadays.
You can hear the emotion in his voice. My guy, whether you're active or not as a streamer, the fact of the matter is when it comes to XDefiant, NOBODY but you have the title of BEST XDefiant creator there was, and ever will be. So salute to you and thanks Jak! Like to agree and show Jak he was and will remain the best
Youre just burnt out and that’s totally fine. These games can feel and are very repetitive and even if they are good, repetition is the death of fun. I had the same thing happen YEARS ago with CoD. I can still remember the moment, clear as day. I was playing Black Ops 1 TDM on Firing Range. I even remember I was using the Galil. I was halfway through a match and it just hit me and I stopped dead still. “What the fuck am I even doing here? This match is the same as the last 5 matches and the next 5 matches will be the same as this one”. And I put down CoD until Warzone came out. In the meantime, I went and get to Battlefield and fell in love with the big map, PTFO gameplay that let me mess with a dozen different play styles, so it never felt repetitive to that degree. You’re experiencing that with XDefiant. Best thing to do is move on and maybe return in the future to FPSs
Mate, new year, new direction... I announced less shooters last week... You've gotta do what is best for you... Remember, everything happens for a reason... As one door closes, another opens... 😎
All countries in the world allow TH-cam but there are a lot of countries that do not allow Twitch or kick or rumble so TH-cam reaches a larger audience
Well I think multiplayer fps games are a very easy thing to get burnt out on.. A break every now and then is a must. My last big break from fps games I spent into MMOs. I wish you the best of luck on the new direction you're taking. While I didnt always comment, I do appreciate the XDefiant coverage you provided
I feel ya Jak, there's no grind in XDefiant anymore. There's no optimism in the possibilities of new things for the game. It's just playing to shoot. I don't like jetpack shooters and I won't play games with algorithms so I'm mixing it up too. I'm moving into 3rd person shooter and Hack/slash RPGs.
I enjoy your personality and watching you be a clean slate in other games. I feel you on the multiplayer shooter part except I’m a biiig exception. I had a 3800 skill rating on xdefiant and my gameplay dwarfs everyone I’ve ever seen in terms of creativity and skill. I’ve played the best players like Dartlin FPS, all the twitch kids, probably you and absolutely still fragged out. I recommend you to play other games since I can tell your a very intelligent guy. Intelligence translates great to other games and you will unlock different play styles as you discover other games. I play all genres of games and always reach the top of rankings because of my variety of games I’ve played my whole life. I believe smart people like you can do the same very easily. I saw you embarrass Remant veterans with your skill and reactions alone lol. Fighting games and racing games will improve your competitive side and will improve your reactions drastically like they did mine. JRPGs and Strategy games build decision making. Multiplayer FPS will make your mechanical skill with your hands very agile. Story based games will increase your sense of wonder and creativity. Train the Brain with video games Is my purpose with games as my time is valuable. For those that don’t think I go outside I work 100 hour weeks with a crane and still dominate online. Btw Jak… if you play Dead or Alive 5 on stream I’ll literally pay you and would love to teach you the secrets that all fighting games share. Wish you the best jak I’m still gonna keep up with you as a fellow Floridian 😊
Fair enough. I already uninstalled I loved the season 3 update but I can’t play with that thought in the back of my mind😢love you videos hope you enjoy your next chapter in gaming :)
I've still not played since they announced it was going. I still don't get it but that's life. Gone back to RPG and eSports no shooters are really doing it for me right now. Waiting for Delta Force to come on PS5, hopefully it will scratch that itch.
I've enjoyed your content but I don't blame you a lot of my friends have stopped playing FPS games but I'll swing by when you stream time zones permitting
Well me personaly i waited for xd since it first announcement i think it was 3 or 4 years ago and when i first played it it was so much fun and but nowadays it's just i don't feel the same thing again not for xd but others games delta force ,apex, cod, dota 2, and more but it's hurt me so bad when i was waiting every week to see player thoughts about new tests and mark tweet even i remember ludwig(if i write it correctly) that xd were participate in and we got promised to get xd in summer ... and after one year later we got xd .well at least they tried
Keep trying new games i personally suggest trying path of exile 2 esp if youre enjoying remnant, its not a shooter, but its got a progression system that feels like you constantly improve and learn more about the game while growing in power
I uninstalled as soon as they said it was done in June. I've been playing Marvel Rivals a lot, which has been fun. I do miss XD, but you have to move on.

i deleted mine weeks ago .. i seen no reason to keep grinding just for it to be gone so i stopped
Thats the way to do it.
And I hit master prestige yesterday😂😂😂
@@tattoohickwhy play any game then?

One of my favorites too, so glad I found this channel!

TH-cam isnt the same anymore and neither is gaming. Time to move on this hobby isn’t for us anymore.

We should be playing and enjoying this while we have it
I couldn’t agree more.
Agreed but ill just get depressed after a couple hours...
Uninstall.
It feels so good right now too. 😢

Good stuff bro. Do what makes you happy.
Well... 😢😢 Rip and enjoy your life bud
@nightmanfrance I'll be on my second channel and on my Twitch.
The amount of time we have left to play this game is more than most CODs have at launch
Its been fun Jak. I wish you the best ❤
Nah I’m not emotional over games this way, I still play to get away from cod and its algorithm
All countries in the world allow TH-cam but there are a lot of countries that do not allow Twitch or kick or rumble so TH-cam reaches a larger audience
I wish you good luck on your next journey! 🎉
Wherever you go Jak, I'll be around for it. Love to hear you eating that protien. I'll be hittin up chest tomorrow.
I'll see you on the second channel then, and on Twitch whenever you can make it. :)
I am playing Xdefiant as if it was COD. COD dies every year intentionally.
