One thing that I (seemingly incorrectly) kind of disliked about Ascend was that if was so focused on kind of being an e-sport. My favorite part of the original were the havoc and ultra renegades mods and bringing it heavy weaponry to try and crash through the other guys base before they could do us. The new games feel like you just see the lights zipping through at 300kph and my reflexes can’t keep up with that anymore.
Any game that I might play that’s a competition between two parties needs to be “balanced for esports” because otherwise I’m gonna find the imbalance and wreck everyone without all the fun parts and effort.
I play games that are a fight to get into the flow state. That’s the fun in it for me. If I’m not pushed to the top of my performance capability, I’m not into it.
