I've heard of Battleborn (All I remember is that it had a Mushroom character? That might be a different game though.) but this video is the first time I've ever heard of Lawbreakers.
@@pearz420 Not bad art direction and twitter politics. It failed because it was an average game in an oversaturated market. A hero shooter after overwatch, with MOBA elements after League, combining the worst of them both, that being the issue of League games being too long and too serious to be a fun game to jump on for a little bit, and the issue of overwatch being that so many characters means many aren't balanced. Add in that it advertised a campaign, but it was super short levels and always-online, and it's death by a thousand cuts. If I wanted to play a fun hero shooter, I'd play overwatch. If I wanted to play a MOBA, I'd play League. They're clashing genres, so they're not going to work well together. We learnt this with SMNC, I don't know why they ignored the signs and made a game like that anyway.

@@mgsxmikeAs a viewer of them, I must say they’re competitive matches are crazy. One guy went for a 26 kill streak before the games’ survival round happened. The SWAT squads were damn bullet sponges. Even saw another game where the cops had glitched out with 90 or so of them just standing outside. Guy could’ve went for a higher score but choked hard at the end.
I think one of the reasons that lawbreakers failed was because 1) it was a exclusive so not everyone could play it and people thought it was scummy. And 2) the fps genre is so oversaturated that there was like 2 other fps games that did what lawbreaker tried to do but better
Don't forget Battleborn and Quake Champions also dropped and died spectacularly the same way. Paladins has been on the struggle bus since launch. Yet they thought they had a win with Concord, which was even MORE generic than any of those.
@@prokilleridk5924 It's a tattoo about a game that died in months, so if anyone asks him about the inspiration for the tattoo they're not gonna know what the game is
ME: *sips coffee* "hm, yes, this is definitely the mass effect of coffees" BARISTA: "I am actually begging you to leave" ME: "this chair is the Fallout of furniture" BARISTA: *sobbing* ME: "vibeo gane,"
Especially in a market where most guys are already with other girls. You won't get many players by proposing they break up with their current games AND move their friends over.
God, that line about “wanting to make another billion dollar IP”. You’d think Cliffy B couldn’t be any more arrogant and narcissistic but than he delivers that doozy.
To be fair, it was a pretty intense game. Just like after playing a game of Quake Champions or Titanfall 2, it left a pretty intense feeling in your body.
Props to the editor of this video- seeing the dev compare his game to dark souls, only for it to immediately cut to a 9 year old winning the tournament made my day
@@brianestrada1993 honestly the game was competent being fun, but the marketing and Cliff B saying shit over shit about how his game was nothing like the others ruined it, also the fact everyone that said the game was fun was paid to say that didn't help the game to get popular
Honestly, I'm not even "triggered" because they compare it to Overwatch, I couldn't give less of a fuck. What actually grinds me is that 20-something lowlife comparing it to Unreal Tournament. That's fucking heresy.
5:18 is just baffling. People asked Cliffy if his hyper-masculine bro-shooter might be an Esport, and he reacted with utter contempt. It’s like he was begging people to ignore Lawbreakers.
Step 1: develop a game with a trite concept Step 2: shit all over your potential consumer base Step 3: ? Step 4: prof- oh what’s that? Oh the game didn’t sell?
Cliff feels like a frat boy, game designer. I feel like he sells the ideas of his games like, “play this and you’ll get laid. My games are totally cool, bro”
Keep in mind that his claim to fame is Gears of War. I'm a Gears fan, myself, but I'd be lying if I said it wasn't 90% testosterone and musclebound dudes.
He's just a mediocre bro at heart. Plenty of people that worked on his teams were candid in interviews about him basically being absent from the actual work in favor of playing hotshot in fancy sports cars around town.
Actually looks kinda cool tho and resembles the Facepunch logo so idk he could just say he's a real big fan of GMod or Rust. Not quite as bad as the Uganda Knuckles tattoo.
It was insanely fun. Super unique combat with the Zero G zone, and had INSANE ceiling for movement tech etc. I actually have a couple clips of the kind of movement you could do in it saved. I really miss it. Too bad Cliff is a braindead idiot and the production company (nexon) just didn't know AT ALL wtf the market was doing at that time. Collapsed so fast.
They probably could of let it be and it would have a population maybe like quake champions, dead but not completely dead, you can usually always find a match “rather” quickly
Cause he betrayed his core audience. You can't spend years building a core following only to then turn your back on those people who gave you the funds to build more. I think this downfall was completely justified on account of his rudeness as you put it best.
It's crazy going down the rabbit hole of general gaming videos from 2015 - 2017 and seeing the love and affection for Overwatch and then from 2017 - 2021 the disappointment and negativity. Blizzard have become talented at ruining franchises.
@@truthpurpose Overwatch was bad from the start. Played the beta and was already bored. The only reason people played it is because of the anime/comic-ish artstyle and everyone wanted to play Tracer. Thats literally the only reason people kept playing it. It had zero redeeming qualities except good short-films.
An 8 year old can easily beat dark souls. 90% of dark souls' difficulty comes from not knowing what is going to kill you, what is going to surprise 1 shot you, not stuff you can actually predict and react to. An 8 year old beating it wouldn't take much longer than me or you.
@@michaelquinn8064 He said it comes from surprise 1 shots that you can't predict or react to, and if you can't see the difference between what I said and that, you should probably retake an english course.
how to promote your game: "i want a billion dollar ip" "insult the games with the biggest audience" "insult the current market" "insult xbox" "insult anime fans"
As of May 14, 2018, Boss Key Productions, the studio that brought you the "Dark Souls of competitive first-person shooters" has shutdown. According to the Cliff himself, the studio is "effectively no more." He was later found in his garage trying to sell the entire studio and its assets for "29.99, none of that 60-dollar multiplayer-only bullshit."
@@skininja1747 also how is killing Joel the way he did not a big F-ck you to the audience? Especially in the narrative context of the game, it was basically needlessly done in every sense of the story to gain some sort of shock value. He probably was hoping It’d be like Bioshock in the way he presents such philosophical ideas, and Poppa pump even domes Joel with a Nine iron, like Ryan in Bioshock.
@@skininja1747 it’s not that he killed Joel off that’s the problem. The problem is that it was done in the most re-tarded way possible. The way it was executed it might as well be for shock value because it was handled really poorly not just from a narrative perspective but from a character one as well. For me the last of us 2 isnt necessarily a terrible game but it’s very mediocre from a story-perspective and the ending is deeply unsatisfying

I love how he's trying to be so super different so instead of going for a nice stylised artstyle that sets it apart from any other shooter, he goes out of his way to make it look just like every other bland looking shooter we've seen over the past decade
@@dotwashere4498 well the problem is that those games don’t care about great scenarios with makes real life look brand, but if you look at games like red dead redemption 2 and ghost of Tsushima and you are stunned by how beautiful they look
@@The.Orange.Wizard given how Dark Souls is notorious to many as a very challenging game, far more difficult than many AA and AAA games of its time and to some extent even today, Cliffy likely threw that line around to be very clearly smug about how Lawbreakers is a game that only the most super skilled pro FPS players can play. It would have made more sense and perhaps less cringy if he compared it to Quake and Unreal Tournaments, multiplayer games known for having a skill floor high enough that only those with the skills and tenacity can keep up
One of the best shooters I ever played. I was a Beta tester and preordered the game based off what I had played, however it not being free to play was a real kick in the nuts to most people who were interested in it. Then there was also a problem with how the release version of the game made some shitty nerfs to characters, made the game run worse on older hardware than the beta, and released the stupidest most broken character ever that nobody wanted to play anything else.
It was a great game. Cliffy really fucked everything up, especially when he decided to charge $29.99 for the game instead of keeping it F2P. It was one of the best shooters that I've played to date because it reminded me of the good ol' days on Quake and UT.
I played it it wasn't bad... maybe a bit too fast and some abilities were maybe a bit too strong etc.. but that's to be expected at the start of a games life cycle. Never really liked quake etc but this was'nt bad... But never go from f2p to paid like what the heck?
It refers to the fact Dark souls is unique in it's difficulty curve. Most games spoon feed you and hold your hand and it's lame. Dark souls gives you a challenge Dark souls isn't hard per se but its hard to learn. Once you get it down it's not so hard.
I actually played this at gamescom and thought it was some random indie title because it felt so bland, I didnt even know it was supposed to be great until wayyy later lol
I feel like it was doomed from conception purely based off of how plain and bland it looks , it's simply not eye catching and in today's market you need something unique to make it stand out be it an art style , price , lore etc and it had nothing going for it. I remember playing this game in beta got bored and I forgot it existed until now
Random indie titles are still less bland than the average AAA game nowadays. Hell, the average random indie title most likely has tons more thought and creativity put into it then these games.
Everyone who played it got paid by them, it was pretty hilarious to see everyone on Twitch stop playing it and going back to Overwatch as soon as they weren't paid to play it anymore.

Can you even imagine anything more childish? Refusing to put your game on a perfectly good console just because you personally don’t like it? And then say “haha those fanboys kinda salty though” in a professional interview as if you are cool or something for doing that?
Despite all of that. He's a horrible businessman. That's potential money you're throwing for trying to sound like a a fan boy for consoles. That's our job. This man is not about his money
Yeah that stuff and the part where he was gloating about how salty the XBox fans were. Grow up you fucking loser. So glad this game died and he's no longer relevant. I have no interest in consoles and am very glad that war seems to finally be dead, but you want to release to a wider audience so everyone can play. Excluding one platform because you're a little bitch won't get you any praise.
you know...as a concept artist I always feel so sorry for all the amazingly talented people that work behind the scenes on awesome concept arts, animations, models and such and see these games fail so badly because of the horrible management.
@@awbr1991 to be fair, idk if you actually played the game, but the art was not nearly as good as it looked in the trailers. It was all one big monochrome soup. I remember even setting the graphics to the highest setting and realizing that I still couldn’t really tell the difference between the characters and the buildings around them. So it wasn’t just Cliff’s terrible PR strategy, there were also some serious mistakes in the formation of the game.
You try to point on the uniqueness of your projects to the stupid people who can analysis world only by analogies, but in the end you realize that is doesn't work...so only left to speak with people on their language...seems natural
yes and how he talks about Spiderman and BeyondGaE... he said "...try something new and different" as if he invented a whole new genre... this guy realy is delusional... LawBreakers is nothing else than your standart "hero" shooter there is nothing original about the game... how much cocain do you have to snort to think in 2017 a basic shooter is more worth than f2p...
I find that line especially funny because Overwatch stood out because it was somewhat cartoony. People were somewhat sick of the realistic, gritty FPS games like Call of Duty, Battlefield, and (I suppose) Gears of War. It's like the early 2000s, where there were a ton of serious, edgy, good-or-evil video games where you could kill innocent people. It was cool at first, but then people started getting sick of it.
@@SaiyanGamer95 Yeah, and Blizzard's top games always had a cartoony look to them, but it only made them stand out more. Cliffy B just came in thinking that the market was the same and that he would dominate it. He fucked up majorly by alienating the only fanbase that gave a shit about his sort-of interesting game.
As I’m revisiting this video, yeah this honestly looks better significantly better than Overwatch and I wish it hadn’t died before I got a chance to play it.
@@beartrap3400 I can't believe how insufferable he was. Calling Xbox players salty, using a mocking tone to address almost every question he got. Just completely abrasive for no good reason at all.

"I understand you have feelings, but this is business." I can't believe any human could reach a level of arrogance needed to have a big, proud, public chuckle at the people who made you everything you are. You like talking business, Mr. Complex Last name, here are a few terms. "Brand loyalty." "PR". "Consumer Confidence". Oh. Almost forgot. "Bankruptcy".
You shouldn't have to defend a game and a company with horrible PR like this, and it's perfectly fine to let your view of a person influence a product, but what he says outwardly is no different at all than what almost every other company uses as their business model. So many companies will only see their fanbase as numbers on a screen and dollars in the bank because it's the only thing they can afford to see them as, he's right, it is a business and he doesn't have to pander to your feelings or views on the matter. The only thing I begrudge this man is making people believe he is the problem when he's actually made people feel comfortable with their first impressions. The only thing that makes this man different is his extreme extroversion and outward PR model, he is no different, and if you abhor this game and this company only because of this behavior, you show to him and other companies that the flowery bullshit that they spew to make people feel safe works, and to deviate from that means you will suffer. You are punishing honesty when he is at as much fault as the other big companies, gaming or otherwise.
And now we can say it back to him. "I get that you have feelings, cool, but this is business Clifford." Too many in the games industry want a rabid, fanatical fanbase, but don't want to deal with the consequences.
@@SomeOne-vf1rs forgot that the flowery bullshit that they spew to make people feel safe actually works. Why do you think PR is so important. They see you as a number, but they know, that people don't buy with that mindset. The feelings of your consumer base are important, to a certain degree. People even avoid watching movies with actors they don't like for any personal reason. Which is why the Picture you give the public has to be somewhat neutral and over all positive. It helps the numbers.
it's honestly nice to see games like Cyberpunk 2077 and No Man's Sky outgrow the content we see in Crowbcat's compilations, but the schadenfreude in this video will continue to age like a fine wine
Cyberpunk is just a bit more content and making it stable enough to not brick your console/PC. It is still fundamentally mediocre. No Man's Sky still has the most impressive glow up among games in decades.
This, I can't believe the arrogance. How can you try to enter an over saturated market, offer nothing new and then expect to charge 30$ when a lot of your competitors have FTP options. They called me mad in the Battleborn forums for saying not being FTP and releasing next to Over Watch was suicide, where's their game now?
It's honestly hilarious that the advertisements tried so hard to say that it was hardcore and difficult and made for adults and then a team with a little kid wins an official match. There's a reason why many games are so casual and colorful now, a vast majority of players WANT that. The moment Cliff said it was the Dark Souls of hero shooters and tried to compare itself to Overwatch when that game alone has over 30 million players [and people already had the free alternative, Paladins] AND they decided to slap a price-tag after saying it was F2P, they shot themselves on the foot.
You know why Fortnite gave(and is still giving) that hugeee competition to PUBG? Coz it's free. Had Battle Royale mode for Fortnite been 30$, nobody would have given two fucks about it. 30$ from F2P was a dick move.

It was insanely fun. Super unique combat with the Zero G zone, and had INSANE ceiling for movement tech etc. I actually have a couple clips of the kind of movement you could do in it saved. I really miss it.

Cause he betrayed his core audience. You can't spend years building a core following only to then turn your back on those people who gave you the funds to build more. I think this downfall was completely justified on account of his rudeness as you put it best.

It was fun
One of the best shooters I ever played. I was a Beta tester and preordered the game based off what I had played, however it not being free to play was a real kick in the nuts to most people who were interested in it. Then there was also a problem with how the release version of the game made some shitty nerfs to characters, made the game run worse on older hardware than the beta, and released the stupidest most broken character ever that nobody wanted to play anything else.
It was a great game. Cliffy really fucked everything up, especially when he decided to charge $29.99 for the game instead of keeping it F2P. It was one of the best shooters that I've played to date because it reminded me of the good ol' days on Quake and UT.
I played it it wasn't bad... maybe a bit too fast and some abilities were maybe a bit too strong etc.. but that's to be expected at the start of a games life cycle.

I have no interest in consoles and am very glad that war seems to finally be dead, but you want to release to a wider audience so everyone can play. Excluding one platform because you're a little bitch won't get you any praise.
I need that profile pic in my life
you know...as a concept artist I always feel so sorry for all the amazingly talented people that work behind the scenes on awesome concept arts, animations, models and such and see these games fail so badly because of the horrible management.
At least they get paid.
Probably not the amount they should have gotten.
@@100acatfishandwillbreakyou2 Yeah that's true. But all the passion was in vain, such a shame
Yeah, it fucks me up watching these because a lot of these games have killer character and level design but get put into bad products
@@awbr1991 to be fair, idk if you actually played the game, but the art was not nearly as good as it looked in the trailers. It was all one big monochrome soup. I remember even setting the graphics to the highest setting and realizing that I still couldn’t really tell the difference between the characters and the buildings around them. So it wasn’t just Cliff’s terrible PR strategy, there were also some serious mistakes in the formation of the game.

"As of today, Boss Key Production is effectively no more"

I heard there were only 2 players on Steam.
Well talking shit and then releasing back-to-back crap games will do that to you
Saw the news about concord and instantly thought about this
As a wise man once said for Evolve, “ This is a gamer’s game”
But what is the definition of a “gamer” ?
We are a society.
I miss that game so much. 🥺
@@Francisco-oz8yb there really isnt but they tried to advertise to the mainstream concept of a "gamer" isntead of a specific audience
I liked Evolve
Funny how in the beginning of the video he mentions it is not comparable to overwatch. At the end he does it himself😂
You try to point on the uniqueness of your projects to the stupid people who can analysis world only by analogies, but in the end you realize that is doesn't work...so only left to speak with people on their language...seems natural
Kenshi Razza ya?
human being works by analogy, trying to deny this was one of the mistakes.
yes and how he talks about Spiderman and BeyondGaE... he said "...try something new and different" as if he invented a whole new genre... this guy realy is delusional... LawBreakers is nothing else than your standart "hero" shooter there is nothing original about the game... how much cocain do you have to snort to think in 2017 a basic shooter is more worth than f2p...
“It’s not cartoony like Overwatch”
*wearing Rick and Morty t-shirt*
I just found that hilarious at the total irony he spewed while wearing that shirt.
"It's not easy, it's difficult-"
*_zooms in on guy wearing Destiny 2 t-shirt_*
oof
I find that line especially funny because Overwatch stood out because it was somewhat cartoony. People were somewhat sick of the realistic, gritty FPS games like Call of Duty, Battlefield, and (I suppose) Gears of War. It's like the early 2000s, where there were a ton of serious, edgy, good-or-evil video games where you could kill innocent people. It was cool at first, but then people started getting sick of it.
@@SaiyanGamer95 Yeah, and Blizzard's top games always had a cartoony look to them, but it only made them stand out more. Cliffy B just came in thinking that the market was the same and that he would dominate it. He fucked up majorly by alienating the only fanbase that gave a shit about his sort-of interesting game.
The worst part about its failure is it was legitimately fun
As I’m revisiting this video, yeah this honestly looks better significantly better than Overwatch and I wish it hadn’t died before I got a chance to play it.
@@BongoSeason I think a lot of people felt that way. This game probably could have been pretty big
@@JakeEatNowIt definitely could've if Cliff just kept his mouth shut. He shot himself in the foot almost every time he spoke about the game.
@@BongoSeason They released too early when what they needed to do was wait for Overwatch 2 to kill it and depress everyone
@@beartrap3400 I can't believe how insufferable he was. Calling Xbox players salty, using a mocking tone to address almost every question he got. Just completely abrasive for no good reason at all.
why aren’t people talking about the fact that someone actually got a tattoo for a game that died hard
Tattoo is most likely fake to hype game
They were likely paid to hype up the game but that’s stilll such a stupid idea.
Lets be fair. Lawbreakers icon was so fucking bland and uninspired. The smiley face with x eyes and shit could be passed off as anything and no one would be the wiser.
Deadzo, because is so dead.
I’m sure it was a fake tattoo but even if it wasn’t it’s likely someone who gets a tattoo like that has no issue getting others and probably just covered it up with a new one
"You cant compare it with anything.."
"Like overwatch but better"
lmfao the editing is so great
"I understand you have feelings, but this is business."
I can't believe any human could reach a level of arrogance needed to have a big, proud, public chuckle at the people who made you everything you are.
You like talking business, Mr. Complex Last name, here are a few terms. "Brand loyalty." "PR". "Consumer Confidence".
Oh. Almost forgot.
"Bankruptcy".
Amen
You shouldn't have to defend a game and a company with horrible PR like this, and it's perfectly fine to let your view of a person influence a product, but what he says outwardly is no different at all than what almost every other company uses as their business model. So many companies will only see their fanbase as numbers on a screen and dollars in the bank because it's the only thing they can afford to see them as, he's right, it is a business and he doesn't have to pander to your feelings or views on the matter. The only thing I begrudge this man is making people believe he is the problem when he's actually made people feel comfortable with their first impressions. The only thing that makes this man different is his extreme extroversion and outward PR model, he is no different, and if you abhor this game and this company only because of this behavior, you show to him and other companies that the flowery bullshit that they spew to make people feel safe works, and to deviate from that means you will suffer. You are punishing honesty when he is at as much fault as the other big companies, gaming or otherwise.
And now we can say it back to him. "I get that you have feelings, cool, but this is business Clifford."
Too many in the games industry want a rabid, fanatical fanbase, but don't want to deal with the consequences.
@@SomeOne-vf1rs forgot that the flowery bullshit that they spew to make people feel safe actually works.
Why do you think PR is so important. They see you as a number, but they know, that people don't buy with that mindset.
The feelings of your consumer base are important, to a certain degree.
People even avoid watching movies with actors they don't like for any personal reason.
Which is why the Picture you give the public has to be somewhat neutral and over all positive. It helps the numbers.
Wait can you give the time when he said that?
it's honestly nice to see games like Cyberpunk 2077 and No Man's Sky outgrow the content we see in Crowbcat's compilations, but the schadenfreude in this video will continue to age like a fine wine
Cyberpunk is still ass
Cyberpunk is just a bit more content and making it stable enough to not brick your console/PC. It is still fundamentally mediocre. No Man's Sky still has the most impressive glow up among games in decades.
The game was fine but the way it was advertised and the move from ftp to $30 sunk the ship.
This, I can't believe the arrogance. How can you try to enter an over saturated market, offer nothing new and then expect to charge 30$ when a lot of your competitors have FTP options. They called me mad in the Battleborn forums for saying not being FTP and releasing next to Over Watch was suicide, where's their game now?
Nepu-Tech USA karma to those
Dr . Wub only 39 players play in a 24 hour period.. rip
It's honestly hilarious that the advertisements tried so hard to say that it was hardcore and difficult and made for adults and then a team with a little kid wins an official match.
There's a reason why many games are so casual and colorful now, a vast majority of players WANT that. The moment Cliff said it was the Dark Souls of hero shooters and tried to compare itself to Overwatch when that game alone has over 30 million players [and people already had the free alternative, Paladins] AND they decided to slap a price-tag after saying it was F2P, they shot themselves on the foot.
You know why Fortnite gave(and is still giving) that hugeee competition to PUBG? Coz it's free. Had Battle Royale mode for Fortnite been 30$, nobody would have given two fucks about it. 30$ from F2P was a dick move.
I dont get why it didnt do well its 29.99 and it was none of that 60 multiplayer bullshit
@Ladarius Capers Did you just say the n word
@Ladarius Capers Understandable have a nice existence.
And it was the dark souls of competitive shooters like wtf
@@trashbag1108 His name's Ladarius if he aint black the earth aint round
