(R.I.P) Bleeding Edge

I tried the beta and didn't even finish the first match. The mechanics are fine, it looked/ran fine, but seems super heavy on teamwork. So unless you've got a team already good f***ing luck with that. And if you run up against a pre-made you're just going to get rolled.

Honestly have no idea what "gamers" that play these types of online games prefer. Couldn't fathom the success of fortnite nor apex legends, so whether this fails or not is well over my knowledge of reality.
I'd guess it'll fail though?

Still believe this game has potential. I've found it enjoyable in short burst with even teams. The game should have never launched without a sophisticated matchmaking that set up even teams. Close games are fun. 3/4ths of the games I've played in have been blow outs. I feel like that's at least half the issue. The other issue is that the maps are too big or it takes too long to travel back into the action. Not sure the exact answer there. Maybe have faster hover boards on bigger maps?
 
Was the market too saturated, was the game no good, or poor marketing?

I wanna say marketing... think they were hopping on good word of mouth from mixer and twitch streamers, since valorant is a thing.

I thought the art was cool but I’m not a fan of team/class based games like that (ie team fortress, legends, apex, overwatch, etc)

Seems to me to be a game 5 years too late. The who hero shooter thing seems to have run its course. Not my genre though, so I'm not sure...
 
The game has great art direction. It'd be nice if they could recycle the assets for something else because I think this thing is done.
 
I was told by a couple people on my friends list that this game was still fun and unique. It was hampered at launch by a lack of content and no rankings. I think the lack of rankings led to really poor matchmaking and a lot of blowouts which turned people off who may have otherwise enjoyed the game. I'm going to give it another go once the rankings hit. It was fun during the few close games I played.

Pretty much ZERO marketing.
