lol

btw, you said f2p games are struggling in the console, but which one do you mean? because we have AoV, Paladins, Fortnite and Brawlhalla (since 2 days ago). Am I missing any other game? Because Paladins and Fortnite seem to be doing very well, and Brawlhalla, well... It just released, so I couldn't say yet

Donorak

Paladins is struggling in terms of if you try to play it for over 5 games your game will crash unless you restart the switch thats what iv experienced and seems its been happening to others. Fortnite and Brawlhalla have backing from pc and other systems and people wanting to play on the switch. AoV is dying because of lack of support as you said.

Belaptir

Hmmm... Never heard of that bug in paladins, and we have a community (my telegram group) who plays it regularly. Some occasional bug, but the game itself is holding well and the community is big enough to find games fast.

Belaptir

Fortnite IDK honestly, because I don't play it, but my sister does and she says she has a lot of switch friends playing it

Donorak

tons of people are playing Fortnite on the switch. Ill try paladins again

Belaptir

AoV however... well, it's dying and by its own hand

Donorak

Seems so

Belaptir

But yeah, Paladins is pretty big as game, and since we have crossplay with Xbox, there's always people (although the xbox people I usually find in a game is around 1:5)

Donorak

Yup it has the backing of other consoles and crossplay

Donorak

meanwhile arena of valor is on mobile and switch and thats it

Belaptir

And the patches to paladins are coming to switch at the same time than xbox (and almost simultaneously with ps4) so it means they are still supporting it. They are even adding gyro controls in the 1.8 patch next week

Belaptir

Indeed, but if you take a look at the mobile version, you will see a totally different game

Belaptir

the switch version just seems like the alpha of the mobile version

Donorak

So support means a game will thrive. how long was AoV was updated besides the latest one?

Belaptir

this is the first "update" that the game had since launch. There were a couple more iirc, but they added nothing at all. Just tried to resolve the bugs (which more or less did) but nothing as to balance the game

Donorak

Ah yea that spells disaster.

Belaptir

and it wasn't even a general balance patch. It was just a nerf for the two most obviously op chars in the game

Donorak

Thats not the best way to handle balancing in a game anyways.

Belaptir

well, if you ask anyone, they'll tell you those nerfs were needed. But aside the nerfs, the rest of the game should also be balanced
