herro evrone, i have been wanting to make this post for some time now and am just getting around to it.
Lets just get down the meat and potatoes of this . The few players left of this game are drastically split. (this is how i see it anyway) between people who want this game to be what it was back then and people who see the future and the time we live in. Let me go in depth here, we all love the old nf. The players that where here, the skill needed for this game, the satisfaction of the grind and the pure one of a kind-ness of this game. But im going to drop this bomb on you as softly as i can. This game will never be exactly how it was.
There are many factors that bring me to this. One of the heaviest factors in my opinion is the state and idea of the game industry today. long gone are the pure skill and knowhow type of games (for the most part) We are in an era of i want it and i want it now. instant gratification. That's just how it is, make it easy and as mindless as possible. This game loses alot of interest from people because of its complexity. I AM NOT SAYING WE NEED TO DUMB DOWN THIS GAME. all im saying is we (the players or the new tnf team) needs to make information on this game ready available. "oh but trainworld has everything you need to know" -old nf player. Yes this is true i come from a day where that's where u had to go and that was it. But people dont have the attention these days. i recommend us, we the community make videos , write ups,help desks/chats and tutorials to make the cluster f*** this game understandable. i honestly still find out crap from this game that i did nit know (7years later!) i just feel this is what we need to do to make this competitive in today's market.
Another point in this whole separation of players i would like to bring up is guys, we get it u are the best bb player out there. (most better than me) but your heard headedness about how it was is going to skrew us all out of a game to play. we need to be open to new ideas and not push someone down for it just because its a "needed skill". at this point this game needs a hail marry to save it. and who are u to know what the idea is that will save it, hint..u don't. Be more open to ideas please. because guess what. If the player base does not go up, and more sales are not made, and this game does not make money for sde. it will go byby (idk how they haven't caned it yet)
Final thoughts, i think we make it easier for people to understand this game, show we are more open to new ideas and are an active community and with the help of sde and a marketing campaign this game can be brought back, even when it looks like a potato . if the quality of game play is good people dont care about visuals as much. This is proven again and again by countless games released today that look like crap but are fun and easy to play. Please take all i said in this with a grain of salt. Its just what i have noticed after playing this game for 3 years watching it and dipping my foot in it for 3 more and playing again for another year. The point of this is not to start an argument put to get come constructive ideas and plans together.
Thanks everyone!
