[2020] The 2014 reveal and Road to S.I. 2020 trailer are perfect analogies for the R6

Original Post — Direct link

In the one you have the promise of the tactical shooter which had been missing from gaming since the mid 2000's and which fans of the series were eagerly awaiting.

And in the other you have the culmination of Ubisoft's E-Sports obsession, where even Team Rainbow itself is transformed into an Extreme Sports team to satisfy Ubisoft's obsession with the Pro-League.

While I admire the poetry of it all, I can't wait until Ready or Not Releases this fall so I can stop playing a twitchy E-Sports Title that used to pretend it was a tactical shooter and just play a tactical shooter.

Hey Riddler, thanks for sharing this feedback with us.

Can you describe why you feel Siege isn't a tactical shooter anymore? Does it have to do with the Operators that've been introduced, or does it have more to do with play-style?

Hearing you loud and clear, Riddler, thank you for this. Just judging by your comment and your experience with R6 as a franchise, I can see you're extremely passionate about it and want to see Rainbow be the best that it can be. I'm not on the development team so I can't really give insight into why certain changes were made, but I can understand your frustration when it comes to all the changes that've been made to the game. I'll be adding this thread and your thoughts specifically in my report to them, so again, thanks for taking the time out of your day to share this with us.

I might give it a go! The first Rainbow game I played was Vegas 2.

I'm guessing you share the same views as Riddler? Do you have anything you want to add personally? Trying to get as much feedback out of this thread as possible.
