thank you all so much for taking time out your day to watch this video
Well done my G! I def felt this games potential when it first released too! 🤘🏾🫡
I'm still holding hope that they will save this game, but it's not looking very good.
I’ve played countless hours of this game and I never saw a single person with the 100 hours thieves gear. Like legit not once lmao
This editing has no soul.
Hi-rez is definitely one of the main contributors to it's downfall.
For sure this game had too much potential
I wish some developer buy the IP
Won't happen but would be lovely @@codename_xlebor
@@codename_xleborright? I think Epic Games could’ve stepped up and bought Rogue Company and absorbed it to Fortnite. That’s just my theory.
As an OG RoCo player myself It is sad to see the game fizzle out like this I play it every now and then Honestly surprised they haven’t shut the servers down by now
“Og” 🤡
@@VDViktor what?
This use to be my daily game, it's a shame it went the way it did
I will never give up on rogue no matter what the devs do
I’ll always have a special place for this game in my heart
Same
They are making the current season last another 2 years
@@XDAiden21why tho me and my friends (like 56 people) love this game insanely the devs are just dumb and lazy if they really focus on fixing this game and adding new content this game could break records i don’t want it to die it probably the best game out there 😢
@@boulabtw4700 the game was just abandoned, sadly. Like, ok, it's still running, but just being kept operational and that's it. My friend told me that the game is currently so just... left to die... that now there's bots in matches running against walls just advertising stuff on the mic or something of the sort, which i think it's crazy.
Also it seems like now there's only one server, because last time i played i was being matched with english speaking players when i'm brazilian, and there used to be a brazilian server, so idk what happend. And when i get matched with people from North America, i just get very bag lag and connection overall.
I use to play this game everyday with my girlfriend. I remember we took like a 2 or 3 month break from the game came back and it was dead. It was actually a good game in its prime it just couldn’t keep an audience.
Rogue Company carried me through lockdown 😢
Literally just said this myself! 100% too many great memories with this game
Yeah same 😂
For sure
Same 😢
Fr bruh
I was yet another one of the people playing this daily. The simplicity of the game was the selling point. The tight and well-controlled gun fights in the extraction mode what I liked about the game the most .Then came all the different modes and the respawn. Kills felt like they meant nothing and all the lobbies were stretched thin because there were so many modes after a while.
They added way too much content way too frequently, being free to play they could have just coasted and remained the premiere, go-to, low fidelity shooter option and I think people would have kept showing up for years because it was polished and tight. They got sloppy and loose.
Remember when you couldn't wait to get home and play this game?
If I could get that feeling back again would be amazing! can only hope 1 day they put some attention back in the game
I played this game for a long time. Eventually it just felt hollow. For a long time i felt that Weapon mastery was revolutionary. But then i realized it wasnt when someone explained it to me. It was simple and didnt need much tweaking. You can easlilly add more rouges. Then speed and toughness. Lost everything.
Great video, I agree with pretty much 100% of what you said!
Realistically though, the MAIN reason me and my friends stopped playing was the servers/bugs. The constant stuttering, frame drops and just dumb glitches/bugs that they seemed to never patch out.
Coupled with the lack of content after year 1 and that any time they DID add 'new content' it'd just add more bugs and glitches. Hell, I can't even count the amount of times I returned to check out RoCo and the contracts were broken.
thank you mr dkoi
Just found this game yesterday. Definitely love this game already. Haven’t spent hours on a game in a few years
W doug pfp!
the game was lovely but they wouldnt really balance things out like i rember i left the game cuz my favorite character gl1tch was useless while lancer was free
the game was fun but they could have done better like when the game got better thye would advertize it more or even bring on something new
this game had best quotes and voice lines ..........
They advertised it well, but if you got on it and you crashed every match with no rejoin, you're not coming back.
@@sh0nuff526 honestly my friend had the same issue i couldn't play with him basically
@yousofsalmani8552 Yeah, no bs, this was a great game. They killed it putting money different places, but not fixing anything.
I have been playing this game on and off for awhile but, since the last couple of months I have invested a lot of time playing roco with 3 of my buddies. Honestly, I have been having a blast. Yes, I do see a skill gap between my team and opponents every once in awhile but earning reputation points & unlocking new rogues and grinding weapon mastery has been so much fun.
That's great to see same here the haters need to get a life
I played rogue in the betas and like you mentioned it definitely helped connect to people and was fun to play with friends, but eventually after everyone i knew stopped playing the game i quit as well, ive played some game here and there and they definitely brought some nostalgia back, but i am a bit bummed that this game ended up where it ended. If there was better support for it it definitely could've a high game for free to play.
I know you didn’t mention these
-The Dr.Disrespect skin never coming back
-The “Best Selling” shop slot having the same items and never changing
-The melee throwing meta
-Lack of fun rewards from S2
-Sniper players, spam pingers, and toxic players in the OG seasons made the experience worse
I quit this game 8 months ago because of the excessive hacking and last week I went to the game page to see if any updates happend since and it's still exactly the same as when I left it. No new rogues nothing. This game is literally on life support begging for the plug to get pulled 😂
I love this game, it has serious potential, I nearly play it everyday because of the good gameplay, but in needs a lot of updates and maps. It still has bugs that needs to be rectified, but they are still being lazy ! The worst thing they have done is split up deathmatch maps. All the maps should be on deathmatch please.
Sucks cus I just got into this last week. I am enjoying it but they definitely need to do something with it.
Rogue company was the best in lockdown the vids on you channel were the best and you should play South Park snow day
every time i remember rogue company i remember the full release trailer when gl1tch was hacking into that AI and his mask said "doomsday event imminent", some seasons later hi rez announced that they won't update rogue company anymore
great game but bad management
i can remember most of the bugs and glitches, all the bronken metas and dumb balancing decisions but i can't stop the nostalgia
Glad I looked this up. I was wondering why this game hasn't had any updates in a while. By that I mean meaningful updates.
8K subs bro.also if just someone good buys rouge company and does a good job in it,it will probably succeed more and actually have a chance at getting a lot more players.i love this game and I play it all the time.sad to see it struggling.but I believe it will come back stronger.
Agreed and these sort of videos don't help Roco made his channel does he forget that
Wow, I echo everything you said, this game was huge for me, it was a HUGE alternative to me from Fortnite, I loved the gameplay and the world of Rogue Company, it was to the point where I wanted to make content just on this game alone, but one of the biggest issues with the game is the matchmaking. I could never EVER get competent players on my team. Plus the lack of communication to the community led to the downfall as well. We can only hope a team can pick it up and restore what has been lost 💔
Totally agree with you Brad! Rogue will always have a place in my heart because it was the game that made me like shooter games and now i have bought my first gamer pc or more like laptop but anyways🤷🏻♀️😅 great video Brad!
thank you so much tone
I'm 30 years old, I play fighting games mostly. Shooters are relatively new to me. I tried all sorts of titles but Rogue stood out for me. So many great memories, especially during lockdown. It's very important to me to have other PvP games (I enjoy them so much more than solo) when I need down time from travelling the country for fighting games. I hope in the future there will be a shooting game that will grab me like Rogue Company did. I have League of Legends for MOBA and just got back into Yu-Gi-Oh Master Duel for Card Games to keep me going but it be nice to have a Shooting game. Marvel Rivals looks Promising. I like the Hero Shooters more but sadly other Hero Shooters aren't doing it for me right now. Always keeping an eye out though.
i feeel a lot of what you just wrote! im also 30 well 31 and rogue company and making this channel through lock down gave me a very special connection to the game, i dont think, or will be a better game than this, it have everything in my opinion
🖐️ Hey, also FGC
Would you say this game still worth investing in? Looking for a whatever game while I'm on an FGC break, and been feeling a small Hero Shooter itch
@@13Kr4zYAzN13 I've not been playing for a while but I've not heard great things and that's mostly down to dwindling userbase. I say keep an eye out with Marvel Rivals. What we love as FGCers are match ups and choices. Which is why Hero Shooters appeal to us. Honestly good call on a break, I find I play better after a break. Hope you enjoyed EVO this year as a watcher or viewer.
The game had so much potential Maybe they will make a new game some time down the line
Great job in highlighting the flaws that brought the enthusiasm level down for so many. This was done with heart. Respect.
💯❤
thank you so much!
cosmetics were much too expensive to me. I also with my three hours of play with my friend and a random managed to beat a whole squad of cosmetic buying sweats after losing our fourth man because of how hard we were getting smashed. Forever the highlight of my career in that game and I quit playing after that.
I really hope they don’t shut the game down cuz I still go through phases of playing it and I remember playing it with friends so much in 2020 with friends it was so fun they kinda messed up the UI or armory to choose weapons or something I forgot. I also really liked the each character’s have their own weapons or things to buy start of the rounds felt really fresh and fun I’m sure I will re download it at some point and play it
Miss this game so much I stopped playing a few months after kestrel came out I think
I started to distance myself when switchblade was added and they started making it so everyone could use all rogue weapons, it was genuinely unique with its characters but I lost interest when they decided to make it more like every other team based shooter, really sad story see its decline cause it was genuinely fun and I loved playing it
This is a nostalgic game. 😢
facts
Good video and great to see youre still making content. As someone who started playing in closed alpha id say they promised too much ddnt manage to deliver it. They released the game too soon after the cbt just a bit after some massive server issues and bugs. We also got the year 1 roadmap wich included the weapon mastery system etc that got delayed quite a bit. We also never got the promised weekly updates. When you release a game in a state like that with not enough content im not supriced the peapol who hoppen on early quit the game. Then they rushed content out wich eventually with the early issues not being fixed started causing more and more issues/making it harder the fix the core of the game.
I remember when they took it off switch, i played the game a lot and lost all my progress. I quit the game entirely after this.
That’s so sad , I’m sorry for your loss I hope you find it in your heart to forgive rouge as it probably wasn’t their fault but the company rouge was licensed under that terminated the servers for switch
You know it's over for RoCo when Brad posted this video. End of an era.
big love mr trusty trash
I loved RoCo so much. I knew it was coming for a downfall when they started making balance changes to appeal to a different market. Replenish getting almost removed entirely from the game except for Vy was a big indicator they wanted to punish rushers and promote a more defensive playstyle.
As an Ex-Smite player, Hi-Rez has a long track record of pushing their diehard community away to appeal to another one, be it casuals or the competitive scene. But they also have a track record for having some of the best playing games in existence.
I miss ya RoCo, but I'm glad I was here alongside ya Brad. At least we were some of the lucky ones who got to experience it in its peak.
Yeah for real we were lucky and I do really appreciate the long comment here! Maybe rogue will get a volume 2 one day, maybe not!
Game is so good and playable
But they made it very hard to unlock rogues and there aren't free skins
But the game is very good and unique
even tho my nintendo account was connected to my steam when i signed onto the computer all of my stuff from my switch including all characters unlocked, multiple weapons mastered, and multiple battle passes were deleted when the switch got taken down
That thumbnail continuity is clean 👌
my G thank you brother
There is still so much potential for this game. Of course you’re not allowed to wear the doctor disrespect skin. Even though I paid for it. Am I going to get a refund? Probably not
lack of updates and communication killed this game.
Only HiRez could burry such a great game with so much potential. I'm huge fan since closed beta and it saddens me to see Rogue Company's failure.
Sorry 😔 i was angry about how the game was dying and took my frustrations out on you hope you can accept my apology its from the heart
of course i can! we all love rogue company, and trust me, there is probably no one that loves it more than you and me! i am constantly hoping they bring a rogue company 2 out! and ill be the first creator in line 100% to cover the game.
@@braduk_ thanks 🙏
I started playing rouge through lockdown and it was my first shooting game ever. I thought it was pretty cool. After like 1,5 year I switched to apex and I realized how bad rouge was 😭
What killed the game for me is when skins that was previously "limited time" from the battle passes - you can now buy from tbe store..
Not to mention event skins you grinded for, you can just buy now...
I cried about this back then saying it will kill this "sense of invesment".. maybe i was right.
Yeah I mean I guess we can’t blame them for that! They have every right to do it
@@braduk_ just like they had the right to get rid of many things that made the game good. They also had every right to not fix the game so they didn't 🤦♂️ it's their right I guess.. they wonder why the game is on life support
I played and loved this game so much, sad to see its potential being wasted 😢
I still playing it i'm level 800 i really hope this studio do something good with the game! It only needs constant content, maps, skins, new rogues, i love this game
ninja also did a stream with scott when the game realesed in open beta. Just thought id point it out since it wasnt mentioned with the other creators
You can you this exact video format for when The Finals inevitably reaches the same player count
ayee props to u brad . i feel like u simplified all of it in not just a concise easy to follow way , but you also brought up some really valid points and tidbits of info here n there that i didnt even know fr...for ex your point abt how their way more successful titles were run on the fine tuned machine that is unreal engine 3 so since they probably rushed the jump to UE 4 its most likely the main contributing factor for the endless server/lag issues/frame drops etc that have been present since day one. n i think its safe to say that when us rogue lifers complain abt those key fundamental issues ,we're just complainin to complain and in hopes that they do somethin to fix it. but we're not takin the extra second to think abt the actual why behind it and how its tied to their jump in UE. (at least i know i wasnt lol) ,,but thats beyond logical...
thank you so much jenna really appreciate the comment!
I lowkey wouldn’t be surprised if they did a Rogue Reforged, i kinda hope so. But that could be another few years away if they did..
My friends and i loved early rogue company. Loved playing single life extraction mode. Then they took it out and we found all the respawn rounds boring.
Tried playing shuffle a few weeks ago and now extraction is a respawn mode. So depressing. Was my groups go-to on friday.
I remember how I bought the Xbox Elite Gamepad for this game, and later it began to go to the bottom, the first bad decision was when the weapon was untied from the characters. And they finished off the game with a solution with cross-play between platforms, I took it neutrally, but all my friends just stopped playing the game, and then cheaters appeared and updates happened less and less.
You gotta try HAWKED
Honestly, I still love ❤️ this game😢. Rogue Company is my favorite videogame, and I hope that developers will save it somehow. But I will play it even if this game have a problems. I'm not giving up guys, even if the developers don't care about the game. Love you all, guys. And yeah, great 👍 video, buddy! It's the first time I see you, but I am your new subscriber 😊
me too! and thank you for subscibing!
You're welcome 😊@@braduk_
This just made me remeber I did play this game when it was like it's alpha stage. I played wi5h my brother and we got destroyed so we didn't play and then when the game changed or got more hype a fee months ago we played again for a fee days and then quit again
i swear all the new games i end up liking always fail and end up shut down and forgotten because hype died shit sucks i like this game a lot and recently started playing again sometimes it takes like 5 min for me to find a game unless i switch severs
I stopped playing around the time they changed the TTK on all guns. After they reversed the TTK, did individual balance updates, and introduced weapon mastery, the game felt way more unbalanced than it already was. Something that never sat right with me is mouse & keyboard going against controller, and even full on console players. There was never really an even playing field.
It’s so sad a game like valorant outshines this game bc of these reasons. It was too unique
Hi-Rez is a master at killing games with a ton of hype. They killed Realm Royale, brought it back, and killed it again. They are doing the same with Rogue. They did it with smite too. and paladins
This game was so fun and was a great palette cleanser from competitive shooters like siege. Ik its a competitive game but it felt new but still allowed for good casual fun, i miss it and wish i could get back into it but the player base just isnt there 😢
Brad I have an intrest in buying the game from the owners and making the game as big as possible.. any ideas on how to go about it and if its even possible.
I'm being serious my man..any thoughts on my company buying the game .any help would be appreciated
I re downloaded this the other day after watching this however. Me and my boys used to have a great time playing this.
A big shame the game never reached the heights of CSGO
This game was sooooo fun during Covid
@@sdottwal 100%
i would like to see the game return. It was such a great game, but they removed dev's who were trying and let the community stay in the dark to the point people were just dipping. Such a fantastic game though with fond memories of it.
🕊️
Best game I've ever and may ever play. Heart broken.
Your end comments are something I hope for this this game. I think if influencers got together and bought the IP, they could make something great.
Another game company could do it , but I don't think they would have the passion for it. Rebuilding support for a pretty dead community would take a lot of work i think only people that play the game and love the game would help in the retstorative process
P.S. Like and subscribe Brad Uk is the best
big love - thank you!!!
The biggest mistake this game makes is trying to be eSports. The gun recoil changes are terrible. Changes like this will make most players get frustrated and quit the game. After all, eSports is only a game for that small group of people.
I think it still has a chance to come back. I still play today and matchmaking isnt too bad apart from the hackers every now and then, one of themn literally shooting from an unplayable area.
1200+ hours and most of that sniping. I have hundreds of clips and its super fun to snipe and hit clips.
The game ended when they introduced kestrel. Now every character has a 1 shot ability or some grenade that instantly kills you. They changed the guns so now the strongest gun is on the strongest characters... with aim assist. Made it hard to snipe, and then they added flinch and it became REALLY hard to snipe. I still stomp lobbies but it sucks now.
Why doesn't anyone talk about why the MPs are no longer precise or, better yet, no longer capable of long distances?🤔
They focused more on collaborations rather than growing an organic player base, making the game the best it can be should be their first priority. & just like a fighting game never tweak your weapons after lunch. Make sure to get weapons balanced before lunch.
& for Gamers sake the visuals are very enticing give us a campaign story once a year using e ery rogue. Even if its a 2hr linear but open combat campaign like call of duty. It would keep the game alice for up to ten years
I had so much fun from rogue company. i still have clips of crossmaps saved on my xbox
you know what some of the best gaming years ive had was on rogue company
Damn shame because it was an awesome game, they probably just pulled on back and dumped into Smite 2 as a safer bet.
Rogue company has a lot of potential. I would’ve continue to play if they didn’t let the same glitches from year one persist like 4 years later.
Constant crashing, constant hackers , than after like year 2. And he servers seemed a bit more unstable and don’t let me start about the lack of content
The game felt most fun at 1.0, everything else later was just nerfs for the sake of "balancing" with content added for the sake of adding, rather than the game needing it. It should've leaned more into the casual-coop teamplay fun aspects than the comp ones, all these killed the game slowly.
Loved this game when it first came out but they added sbmm I checked out, just wasn't have fun playing the same people every night.
I played this with my buddies during lockdown and afterwards. It was fun for awhile but sadly went down bad fast
Crazy they gave a pdf file a few million dollars and wasted a new map design on him. Imagine rocking that skin now lmao
what killed Rogue Company is all the cheaters and they took it where your stuck playing pc players and match making and the battle pass just sucks ass no myth weapons anymore
I think most games have cheaters it’s a super hard one to combat, where there is opportunity people will always exploit it :(
@@braduk_ all games have cheaters even the simple button smashing games they need to find away to just kill the cheating games are not even fun anymore its all about who has the best cheats
Really good game, it should've get mobile realise too.. sad it went down like this 😢
8-9 months later still cant change player identity For Fuck sakes Mark Rubin SAVE us lol
This was my main game i had 70 days on it all weapons and 16 rogues mastered i had every leg skin i spent 1500$+ supporting it and its sad to see where it is
Yeah I was exactly the same brothersucu as shame
The Every rogue being able to use any weapon is exactly the reason why I stopped playing
I'm sorry but Rogue & Paladins are the ONLY games I like by hi-rez & for them to dump Rogue like they have really pisses me off.
The bugs were bad but i think what ultimately put the nail in the coffin for this game was the severe lack of content. At one point this game used to be my favorite shooter in the world and now it's the most dead game i've ever played and that's sad. Wouldve hoped for a rogue company 2 with a release kinda similar to overwatch 2 on paper in terms of new content on launch and all that but once i saw that rogue was going the mobile game route i lost hope in that ever happening.
The game is actually incredible and very unique in a landscape of so many first person shooters. Keep playing with friends till the end!
RoCo was one of my favorite competitive games, spent countless hours grinding ranked with Chaac xd
That’s what happens when you put strict SBMM into a game that hasn’t even developed a hardcore player base yet.
Good riddance, I hope other devs learn from this mistake. People want to have fun with variety of gameplay, not pure sweat in a game they’re not even sure they like yet.
Honestly i think this game lacked 2 things to stay relevant:
1. New content
2. A core audience
In live service games like this you need to constantly have some reason to comeback, for this look at fortnite, every season there's new or remixed content which keeps you coming back to "just check it out"
And also you need a core audience that will no matter what stick with you, if you have no one to be with you during the hardest moments you'll never be able to achieve your peaks, as a comparison look at rainbow six siege, a game that has been on the brink of death multiple times, but it has a dedicated core audience that will play until the last moment the servers are up.
Now you can make it with just one or the other, cs:go has dedicated players but not much new content, and cod warzone has new content but not much in the way of truly dedicated fans. if you have both you're golden, fortnite r6s LoL warframe etc. but if you have neither you're not making it long, rogue company did have new content but they did so much so grandly in the first year that after that it felt like a slow trickle of new content in comparison the following year, and while it did have a small group of dedicated fans for most people it seems this was just a pandemic time waster or filler until the next big thing.
Great video Brad Roco for life so sad this game died such a fun 3rd person shooter with so much potential.
Just recently came back to this game, severs a lil dookie juice but the game itself is still fire
Yeah I heard servers gone down hill
I still play this once in a while. I remember when my friends and I got to rogue ranked in season 1. Good times
This game also had some pretty great trailers btw
Chaac is Goat
Rouge company fell off because it's a Hi-Rez game that isn't Smite
I remember i used to play this game any chance i get. I loved it. It had a great gameplay loop. So much potential. Its sad to see the state of it but at the same time they brought it on themselevs😢
This game was honestly super fun when it first came around. I remember getting into it in 2022. Me and my boyfriend met the same year and we would play it all night together. Good times but now the game is so dead and it changed so much unfortunately
