@@quatreraberbawinner2628 I mean that had basically no chance since the beginning and it flopped hard. XDefiant had an amazing opportunity but fumbled it hard due to Ubisoft shenanigans.
I think Concord was a full on flop, since no one wanted it at all. Xdefiant at least had some good press to begin with, some interest from players, but then they dropped the ball, hence they’re a fumble but not a full on flop.
To be fair, people who play online fps games, like cod, don't actually like the games. They just buy them, pretend they like it, then a little bit later start complaining about everything in the game and how they never liked it. This is the same cycle CoD has had every single year since the series became popular.
I said from the beginning, Xdfiant wasn't a threat to CoD. 1. Multiplayers always try to copy it, instead of looking to get their own identity. 2. The yearly hype cycle prevents any real competition from breaking it, even if the alternative is better. Arena shooters come, the first 3-6 months get played by everyone, the rest are core fans that get entertained by completing the battlepass, prepare for the next yearly release.
@@DistinctionDinothe game didn't need killstreaks. That's one of the things that set it apart from cod. That's what the abilities were for. People want something different from COD yet wanted to turn XD into a COD clone. Make it make sense.
@@wrydstepbr0_0 they marketed this game by letting us know this was the team that worked on the cods that we loved. And some cods have abilities like bo3 and bo4.
Everyone keeps saying that a steam launch would wave this game, but i disagree because these people are forgetting one thing, steam charts. Seeing the current player numbers would be constant negative pr for this game and would cause people to quit more quickly because even more people would jump on the, "its dead" band wagon.
You're missing the point, if it was on steam as a free game it might have reached a much broader audience, and then the steam numbers would look fine, maybe even good.
@spacedaniel492 this would've been true for the first few weeks after launch, but once playercount dropped to 10k, then 5k, then less it would've just been another avenue of negativity
@@TheSparkynuts I totally agree. You have to have you game ready to go, with a constant drip of content if you put it on steam. Or these internet concurrent analyzers will spit roast your game nonstop.
It's less money and more they want the kind of money Fortnite generates. Every company is trying to chase that. Even today, more than 7 years later... sacrificing everything and everyone to get that one cash cow game that Epic has.
We can go on about Steam and Uplay, but the issue is that X defiant, on consoles, was exclusive to next gen, when the vast majority of gamers are still on PS4's and XB1's.
To be fair, none of you know what made those cod games supposedly good. Most of you bitched and whined about every single cod game for the entire year and then would still buy the new one and whine about that one. 😂
More like the biggest fumble for the anti-SBMM crowd. They screamed to the roof that it was the worse thing ever. They begged for non-SBMM gaming. Yet, they got exactly that and they could stick with this game for 6 months while other crap got fixed. The content creators were the worse about it. First they make tons of videos crying about SBMM. Then they get XDefiant and have a love fest for 2 weeks. But soon as the CoD beta comes out, they all are full time CoD players again. Now we will listen to them blame Ubisoft. The. It will be back to crying about SBMM in CoD. I can’t wait to watch them cry and grift. Anyone ever complained about SBMM and jumped ship on this is a grifter.
sbmm, is far better, i got bored of w@w on the wii because I rutinely had like 60+ kills and like 3 deaths. and with the last beta for cod I usually have a 2.0kd, and not a 20kd.
Say Mark didn't denied the shutdown claims. First thing he said in the response was "To be crystal clear there are NO plans to shutdown after season 4" and that they are looking at year 2 plans
This game had INSANE potential, it felt like they finally caught lightning in a bottle because it was a ubisoft game with actually good hype around it and people had genuine interest in it, without it even being on steam, wow Ubisoft, wow.
on my xbox there are some other most playing games from ubi-soft right now: star wars outlaws, assassins creed valhalla and assassins creed odyssey. on the most selling xbox series x charts we have currently (ubi-soft games) : assassins creed unity (highest ranking top selling ubi-soft game), assassins creed valhalla complete edition (price drops from 120$ to 18,50$), assassins creed triple pack, assassins creed origins gold edition upgrade, assassins creed mirage, assassins creed origin deluxe edition, assassins creed mirage master assassin edition, assassins creed syndicate, assassins creed odyssey ultimate edition upgrade, assassins creed odyssey standard edition, assassins creed valhalla ragnarök edition, ezio collection, ac black flag, far cry classic edition .. non xdefiant
Oozing love for Ubi's franchise ?? The Clancy fandoms just want their own game and not a abominable Frankenstein hot potch like X-Defiant. It an insult to everything that Mr. Clancy stood for. I' m thrilled all their attempts to GAAS the Clancy franchise failed, cause it they had succeeded, Ubi wouldn't have any incentive to make proper Division, Splinter Cell, Rainbow Six and/or Ghost Recon games. Which is the only the Clancy fandom is interested in, which we told them a zillion times during the various ip fandom direct shows Ubi organized.
I literally never and never will install any ubisoft crap on my PC. Not their launcher, nor their games. Ubisoft have been dead to me for a very long time, last game I played of theirs that I was actually satisfied with was black flag. And I am sure many people think the same thing.
Folks are talking about Concord but Concord wasn’t a fumble, it was just a straight up flop. XDefiant had promise and an interested player base, and they screwed it up big time-hence, a fumble
I can't say it's the biggest fumble in gaming, but it's fumbled for various reasons. Hell, I won't spend money on it because I can't buy skins I want for characters I enjoy.
Didn’t say we told you so but….. we told you so 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣 I hope this is a lesson to to everyone that you should NEVER market a fps shooter as the “cod killer” otherwise you’ll get this 🤣
When are the likes of Ubisoft going to come to terms with the fact that their lame ass launcher is not going to take over from Steam. If you don't have a clear vision exactly how to make store that's better for gamers than what Valve does, don't do the pathetic exclusive launcher thing. Players hate it, because it offers nothing except inconvenience and irritation. It took a minute for me to figure out why I hadn't even heard about XDefiant, I'm never going to buy anything off Uplay.
I kinda disagree on there being a big demand for this game. It screams hero shooter to me, not Call of Duty. It seems as soon as they saw people didn't like SBMM in CoD, they quickly pivoted their attention to that crowd instead and tried to cater to them since the initial backlash as a hero shooter was pretty big. The game in no way reminds me of Call of Duty aside from 90% of matches being nothing but sniper fights. It was fun for a little bit when everyone was still a noob and used various weapons but now I can't even find a game for 25 minutes and when I finally find one, everyone is just quickscoping. I can just play Call of Duty if that's how that game is going to be(And that's exactly what I did). The game is dead. There was a little bit of potential for it but they made the same mistake MWII(2022) did where the content is stretched so then and drip fed that nobody cares about waiting 3 months for a skin to release.
Well, it's kinda too early to confirm this (cuz we have 2 and a half months of 2024 left), but Ubisoft has won the worst game company of 2024. With Sony being a runner-up
I can't even tell you why, I had it installed and said I would check it out when they add gyro aim, but then I just never really bothered to check. I can't you why but I was just really apathetic about it.
The first sentence of Mark Rubin’s response literally says there are no plans to shut down seasons after season 4 and they are working on Year 2 plans for the game. Unless I’m missing something?
I'd take Mark's word for it, but regardless of shutdown rumors, it is sad how XDefiant was handled. I mean, if it was actually doing well, we wouldn't have shutdown rumors popping out one after another, would we?
This video is the real fumble. Someone forgot about concord. XD along with siege are probably the biggest moneymakers for ubisoft. No way they're shutting down lmaoo
Hate to break it to you, joe but concord is the biggest fumble in gaming . Its this generation et . Plus call of duty has had no competition ever really , we hoped and gave them comtenders but ultimately none challenged them . Its been like this for decades us saying i hope this game and company challenges cod and its failed . Badly .... just saying
Counter point Concord (to the title) But yeah the game needed way more content i played hmw and the amount of content and progression in mw2 is just huge compared to xdefiant i don't feel rewarded to play
Biggest fumble you obviously haven't been in the gaming space for long so i can understand you are still learning as there have been massive fumbles that dwarfs this game but i know you will do some research and realise oops
you know what the real biggest fumble for gaming history is the humans us yes we are the ones that fumbled big time over every damn modern game that is woke or not becasue every damn game now is the same exact thing not different in any way the same exact shit and i can see it in every new game being released same layout re skiined this re animated this do that do this its all the same in every game there is nothign new to the games besides xdefiant that is proving a fact that you people fail to see true fps like itself is far better than the modern gamer woke shit is
I think I know how it flopped. There's a lot of factors. The game is built for PC play, and it's not on steam. I don't really need to explain this one too much. Lack of free-to-play progression. A lot of these live service games live or die by having progression. And F2P really doesn't have any. I unlocked all guns in about a week, and only really could get more attachments which once you got all the parts on the gun you really didn't need to swap things out because all the attachments are pretty front-loaded for good attachments. Once you invest in the guns as well, it makes it so swapping to another gun less attractive because the only way to unlock attachments is with kills. So just playing good, and getting multi-kills don't improve the rate at which you're unlocking attachments. The later stuff is just niche builds honestly, making them rather redundant to unlock. Free-to-play is ugly. Your guns look like they have been pulled from a dumpster unless you get a payed for skin or decide to grind for the bronze, silver, and gold skins. And that's not even considering how the base characters look either. There's no design cohesion, it's like it's already been fortniteified out of the gate and that really doesn't help me get into a game. Leveraging IPs in a shitty way. The characters you play as are based off factions of various IPs that Ubisoft owns. While neat on it's surface. If you like any of those IPs, you'll quickly come to realize they are all bastardized. Because half of those IPs on launch are dead, or dying. And that just makes the whole thing just that much more sad, and unappealing. Technical issues that remain unresolved. Like you mentioned in the video, the hit reg issues, I've even experienced some rubber banding as well. The whole server side aspect of the game is in a horrible state. I swapped to Linux recently so I just cannot play it even if I wanted too. (A blessing really). I could probably think of more but I really don't want to dedicate more brainpower to think about this any more. It's not worth the energy to worry about Ubi at all anymore honestly. They are effectively dead, the things that made them great to begin with back in the day are no longer there, and they just worst then EA now when it comes to greed with everything they try.
I still don't understand why xDefiant didn't launch on Steam. A free to play game, exclusive to Uplay and EGS
because ubisoft. they don't have brains left. or any really.
They barley added it to Epic
@@dustojnikhummer because they don’t want the concurrents to be public. That can be death too.

As much as Jim sterling is a lunatic these days, he did say one thing right: companies don't want some of your money, they want ALL of your money.

Ubisoft just loves to sabotage themselves with everything they do the had a hit on there hands and droped the ball so hard
Xdefiant deserved better, not getting ruined by Ubisoft
No, it doesn't. It's generic f2p slop made by Ubishit. Gamers standards are pathetically low....do better, stop being part of the problem.

😂😂Hyperscape ……..Ubisoft mass failure
Hate to break it to you, joe but concord is the biggest fumble in gaming . Its this generation et . Plus call of duty has had no competition ever really , we hoped and gave them comtenders but ultimately none challenged them . Its been like this for decades us saying i hope this game and company challenges cod and its failed . Badly .... just saying
Who cares if it shuts down there are other games to play
Wait, XDefiant failed? What happened?
Ruben already announced they’re not shutting down
Counter point Concord (to the title)
But yeah the game needed way more content i played hmw and the amount of content and progression in mw2 is just huge compared to xdefiant i don't feel rewarded to play
At least it's your opinion, i guess.
who else remembers when Battle field 2042 and CoD both flopped and battlebit stole all the players and jumped up steams play list for a while.
I remember youtuber grifters desperately trying to push that game, but failing miserably...
Xdefiant biggest fumble? What about concord?
Fumble implies that it had a chance at success. Concord was doomed the moment it launched
@@kadesandner7640 oh i didnt know that. Thanks for teaching me
Never was interested in Xdefiant and once Black ops 6 comes out it would have been done anyway
I play the game I think it's good 👍🏽
Biggest fumble you obviously haven't been in the gaming space for long so i can understand you are still learning as there have been massive fumbles that dwarfs this game but i know you will do some research and realise oops
First as always joe.😎
1st lol. Love the videos Joe.
you know what the real biggest fumble for gaming history is the humans us yes we are the ones that fumbled big time over every damn modern game that is woke or not becasue every damn game now is the same exact thing not different in any way the same exact shit and i can see it in every new game being released same layout re skiined this re animated this do that do this its all the same in every game there is nothign new to the games besides xdefiant that is proving a fact that you people fail to see true fps like itself is far better than the modern gamer woke shit is
I think I know how it flopped. There's a lot of factors.
The game is built for PC play, and it's not on steam. I don't really need to explain this one too much.
Lack of free-to-play progression. A lot of these live service games live or die by having progression. And F2P really doesn't have any. I unlocked all guns in about a week, and only really could get more attachments which once you got all the parts on the gun you really didn't need to swap things out because all the attachments are pretty front-loaded for good attachments. Once you invest in the guns as well, it makes it so swapping to another gun less attractive because the only way to unlock attachments is with kills. So just playing good, and getting multi-kills don't improve the rate at which you're unlocking attachments. The later stuff is just niche builds honestly, making them rather redundant to unlock.
Free-to-play is ugly. Your guns look like they have been pulled from a dumpster unless you get a payed for skin or decide to grind for the bronze, silver, and gold skins. And that's not even considering how the base characters look either. There's no design cohesion, it's like it's already been fortniteified out of the gate and that really doesn't help me get into a game.
Leveraging IPs in a shitty way. The characters you play as are based off factions of various IPs that Ubisoft owns. While neat on it's surface. If you like any of those IPs, you'll quickly come to realize they are all bastardized. Because half of those IPs on launch are dead, or dying. And that just makes the whole thing just that much more sad, and unappealing.
Technical issues that remain unresolved. Like you mentioned in the video, the hit reg issues, I've even experienced some rubber banding as well. The whole server side aspect of the game is in a horrible state.
I swapped to Linux recently so I just cannot play it even if I wanted too. (A blessing really).
I could probably think of more but I really don't want to dedicate more brainpower to think about this any more. It's not worth the energy to worry about Ubi at all anymore honestly. They are effectively dead, the things that made them great to begin with back in the day are no longer there, and they just worst then EA now when it comes to greed with everything they try.
