A bit poetic for it to coincide with the next big Monster Hunter, as I liked it better than Monster Hunter.

What?

Crypto-bros killed it. Literally one of their executives just up and dis-a-fucking-ppeared.

djsoren19@lemmy.blahaj.zone on 24 Feb 21:42 next collapse

Damn, another one down. I thought it was a perfectly adequate Monster Hunter competitor, but I guess people looking for that are fully satisfied by Monster Hunter

ampersandrew@lemmy.world on 24 Feb 21:49 collapse

Even if it was perfectly adequate, the game may have been doomed anyway. Such is live service.

completely expected after the awakening debacle. games don’t last forever

Not when they’re built this way, no.

If I can’t play a game offline, OR host my own dedicated server…i just don’t buy them anymore.

Dauntless was F2P if I remember correctly

I think you know what they meant.

Damn this sucks. This game was pretty decent in the beginning. I had fun leveling couple different weapons. I bailed when they reworked the progression system to be more confusing and less rewarding. I’ve been meaning to check it out for nostalgia sake even though recent rework got a horrific reviews and now I don’t even have to bother. RIP

They “rebooted” it by wiping everyone’s progress and then making paid transactions the way to progress. It was doomed from the rework.

Aw. I get why this happens to games, but it’s still sad to see.

Hyphlosion@lemm.ee on 25 Feb 15:06 collapse

While I personally wasn’t a fan of Dauntless, I respected it and I’m sad to see it go. I’m a huge Monster Hunter fan but understand the importance of competition and how it benefits gamers.
