I got as far as punk rock moshpit and that was enough for me.

Valorant isn't dying, lol. It makes more money on PC per month than Fortnite does. It seems like a lot of people here may be slightly out of touch with the realities of the market.
It's not like the amount of viewers of a game in twitch says much about the community of it but here, more people watching GTAV and Jackbox than VAL

Yeah, but if they are targeting teens, why even use the Tom Clancy reference? They won't have any idea who the hell that even was.
Do you think gamers know who John Madden is?

Same deal, the name attached to a series of videogames has given meaning to the name independent of the original individual.

How many times Ubisoft is gonna reuse NYC setting, it's embarrassing. Finish Beyond Good and Evil 2 already, nobody wants Division of Duty.

Doesn't look too bad. A lot of people also hated on Overwatch and said there's no room for another game of its type either. People hate on everything it seems. lol

I can't help but think how cool it would be if there was an Assassin's Creed character included in this. Could have a bow; zip around with tele-stealth; backstab people from behind; leap from buildings and assassinate -- with all the detailed, awesome effects. NICE.

This is the gayest game I've ever seen. I'd rather play Black Ops 3 and 4 than this. What an absolute disgrace to Tom Clancy. Fuck Ubisoft. I hope the people who made this burn in an eternal hellscape.
There is being disappointed and then there is…this. What the hell kind of a post is this?
 
Looks like a game by, for, people with user ID's in the vein of:

"xXx MLGNoScopeBro420BlazeIt xXx"

and we already have more than a dozen of those.

The cringe in this one, is off the charts, though.

People were right to hate on overwatch because it is bad

Wasn't Mark Rubin the one talking about next-gen fish? Ubi really dropped the ball today you can just look at Twitter engagement with the hashtags #SplinterCell and realize what players really want.

Exactly.....

And "xXx MLGNoScopeBro420BlazeIt xXx" will run in a squad with his boy "xXXeatmabitchsnipplezzzXXx" and they will hunt solo players for easy kills.

This is actually why this game could be a smashing success. Dudes like this don't have the skills to hang in PvP in popular shooters like COD (much less something that dedicated PvP guys play like CS), but if this game has PvP where dudes can squad up and crush solos for hours, guys like this will flock to it.

Sadly, the original DZ in the Division had this problem with solos always having to play against try-hards. I can see this going down that same road.

They need to make a movie detailing the reaction NeoGAF has to a multiplayer F2P game reveal. Dramatic basey music with Jeremy Irons narrating. The drama, the rage, the agony.

I remember when tom Clancy games didn't even have gun models. Because they mean so little, i guess... He's most certainly dead now lol

They couldn't have picked a worse name for the game for it to be recognizable or memorable (watch me be wrong about this lol but I kinda doubt it.)

I'd try it. Doesn't look like anything new honestly, but its free. Not a big fan of the tone especially after blops cw. Also it bothers me that theres no blood effects.

GTA has the big RP streamers playing it. When they're offline, go look at the numbers. I'm sure there was a big streamer playing Jackbox at the time of this shot too. Valorant's numbers are relatively consistent. The point was the game isn't anywhere close to dead.
 
There used to be a time whenever the Tom Clancy name showed up in a title you could expect a thrilling military narrative with some relatively deep and satisfying gameplay. Be it RTS, tactical TPS, stealth or even flight combat.

This... this ain't it, chief.

I can imagine the pitch: "Guys, guys, guys, hear me out... What happens when you mix Overwatch and... You following me? You see where I'm going? OK, OK. Mix Overwatch and... AND... Rainbow Six. There. I said it. From 1 to 10 how blown are your brains?"
