XDefiant, a new first-person shooter game, has received positive feedback from popular Fortnite streamer Nickmercs. However, Nickmercs also believes that the game needs adjustments to maintain its momentum.
XDefiant: A Promising Start
Nickmercs expresses his excitement for XDefiant and compares it to the acclaimed Call of Duty Modern Warfare 2. He praises the game's unique gameplay mechanics, well-designed maps, and enjoyable combat.
The Importance of Community Support
Nickmercs emphasizes the need for developer The Parallel Presence to listen to player feedback and make necessary changes to ensure the game's success. He believes that with the support of the community and effective communication between developers and players, XDefiant has the potential to be a game of the year.
Addressing Balancing and Monetization
Nickmercs highlights the importance of balancing gameplay to ensure a fair and enjoyable experience for all players. He also advises the developers to find a middle ground with monetization, avoiding a pay-to-win model while offering attractive cosmetic options.
The Role of Ranked Mode
Nickmercs urges the developers to prioritize the implementation of a competitive ranked mode. He believes that a robust ranked mode will incentivize players to remain invested in the game for a longer period of time.
Staying Invested
While Nickmercs plans to continue playing XDefiant, he acknowledges that the Competitive Mode might not be as popular among players. He emphasizes that the developers should focus on providing a satisfying competitive experience to retain players.
