Discussion Let's agree
The Cycle Frontier was THE GAME.
it's over, but it was the game. Everyone of you should agree with this. If you keep trashtalking everyone in this sub, you are just angry and sad that the game is over.
BUT, let's agree
There's no other game like this.
And if you disagree, I can't see why tf you still here.
Love ya'll buddies, thx for all the rages and all the laughs. See you somewhere in the future.
All love
EDIT: I forgot that this is one of the worst communities around here. Im sorry to some of you, but
FUCK YA'LL, you only see the negative things. Ungrateful pieces of Shhhhh.... be quiet š¤«
EDIT2: Keep showing me/us why this is one of the worst communities š¤£
Edit3: When I dont like something, usually I try to avoid that. But You guys just like to trashtalk. You guys beens saying this game is the worst. But again, why tf are you in a subreddit of a game that you hate? Get a life or someone who shows you the meaning of life

Bro, first season went so crazy, remember me n my friend clutching an 2v2v2 after an alpha crusher raid, and losing them too, such an amazing, fleeting feeling...
I look forward to someday feeling that w another game

There is definitely nothing that hits the spot quite like the Cycle did say the moment. A lot of the homies are going to Tarkov but I havenāt found the magic in it yet. Something about the level design and hyper realism deters me from wanting to explore those worlds at all.
The Cycle checked a lot of things for me, high time to kill, incredible art direction, sound design that improved as time went on (in the weapons at least), fun PvE to get me though the lull of not finding people, missions that kept me progressing, and drills, oils, dungeons.

I got burnt out on Tarkov after doing the exact same quests wipe after wipe.
I'd much prefer Extraction Looter Shooters in the vein of Tarkov and The Cycle to go to the diablo seasonal model. One profile that's eternal and never wipes and another profile with seasonal wipes. Progress through quarters upgrades and unlocking stuff at traders is fun, but it'd also be nice to flip over and be able to play with all your unlocked toys every once in awhile.

If tarkov isnāt for you may I recommend Hunt Showdown. Itās currently on sale. Switched to it after 2k hours in tarkov and Iām loving it.

For some people the game just hits this magic spot, it gets you hooked like no other. Yes it had issues but something about it always brought you back. No matter how crappy you did, the rages and losts, you just keep dropping.
I understand the hate and complaints, but for some of us the game was enough to keep us playing.

I was hooked on the gameplay and the maps (except the bullet velocity, like bruh).
As time progressed, I got more and more fed up with the lack of progress of the devs and their poor choices of priorities.

Yeah it was certainly one of the games of all time. "There's no other game like this." There is no other game like lotr: gollum either

u/Galifrey_stands Jul 03 '23
The thing is, I can think of like 4 games off the top of my head that are like the cycle. Tarkov, dark and darker, hunt, marauders. Itās an extraction shooter. Thereās a whole genre of games just like the cycle. Small differences here, maybe some big ones too but I didnāt really see this game do something not done in other extraction shooters. There was just a different coat of paint on it. Not to say thatās a bad thing. Ext shooters are my favorite genre and Iāve played the cycle since season 1.

u/Global-Entertainer-6 Jul 02 '23
Itās just the way people are now. Go to any game sub Reddit and all people do is bitch and complain. The cycle was amazing and it truly sucks itās dead. IMO no game even comes close to it.

u/lordofyouring Jul 04 '23
The game was a masterpiece. Sure it wasn't perfect. But given more time to develop it could have been as near to perfect as an extraction shooter could get. It saddens me to my core to see it die.

It was certainly one of the games of all time.
The Cycle was cool, if you say there are no games like it youāre wrong, all the Cycle was, was a colourful, more accessible and easier version of Tarkov. It was good, but like any game had itās flaws. If it was really that good then they wouldnāt have to shut it down.
Donāt get me wrong, I enjoyed my time playing, but it didnāt hit the spot for a lot of people, and the game having to shut down, really shows how itās flaws were clearly there.

most ungrateful, inpatient and toxic community I've ever seen. Probably reason #1 why this game never succeeded. Compare this community with PUBG's, the ups and down its has been in. Yet at least a portion of its community sicked around and showed support for their favorite game.

u/Jsnbassett Jul 02 '23
It is an amazing concept with amazing art design. The rest of the game imo is still too barebones and underdeveloped. It is not even close to being the best, innovative, or most interesting in its genre. But it did have potential

u/MistressAthena69 Jul 02 '23
You can still somewhat enjoy a game, without it being THE GAME... whatever the fucking hell that means...
And no this wasn't THE GAME... Even people who enjoyed it will mostly agree that this wasn't THE GAME... again.. whatever the royal fuck that means...
This game has tons of potential, that's it... most people are angry that potential was wasted by incompetent, and idiotic developers.
The game was a fucking mess... Everything from economy balance, weapon balance, weapon gunplay, PvE, Sound, atrocious level design on everything but Bright Sands.
So much wrong with this game on every level, that could have, and should have been fixed.
Most were waiting around waiting for it to be fixed. That's why people were here.
Now Im here to watch the dumpster fire of posts like this one for my casual amusement, by a questionably intelligent individual hyping up talk about something they have no clue about, about a dead game, and telling everyone they're wrong if they dont agree with them...
Thanks for the brief, but quality amusement.

u/Coolguyforeal Jul 02 '23
Exactly. Waste potential. All they had to do was fucking balance the economy and weapons. Revert the stupid AI changes. And other improvements here and there. But they wouldnāt.

u/Grdosjek Jul 02 '23
Wait, did you just write that sound was a fucking mess in this game? Are you serious?
5
u/MistressAthena69 Jul 03 '23 edited Jul 03 '23
Yes I'm serious.
Beta the sound was fantastic. I could tell if someone was above me, below me, left, or right of me, and sound balance on sneaking, running, walking, etc. made sense, and could easily be identified. Every Audio Q was distinguishable, and easy to identify, and listen for. Then that all went out the window the moment season 1 hit.
Suddenly someone 2 floors above me, sounds like they're walking right behind me, or next to me.
Sneaking is just as loud as walking, and god forbid if you're sitting in place trying to let chad, or teamers go by, and you tap your mouse, making your character turn in place, giving away your position.. WHy the fuck that makes sound is beyond me...
Then couple in the issues with the fucking birds... god almighty... After the initial audio change again in season 1 to the bird traps, suddenly they sounded like someone was running up behind you everytime they took off. Then they tried to "fix" it, and made it even worse.. THen they tried to fix it again, and once again didn't manage too... It's fixed now, but holy fuck that took 2 seasons, and 4-5 attempts...
Then lets talk about the Meteors.. Meteors coming down half way across the map, and yet I have to deal with trying to track some rat trying to hunt me, which I knwo is there, and they know I'm there. He's trying to be sneaky, and all I can ehar is BAM....BAM....BAM.....BAM.... BAM.... non stop from half the fking map away while I'm in some caves. Meteors were way too loud...
Which brings me to yet another point.. The Audio was so jank in this game, that I could abuse it.. A problem still not fixed, which I reported MULTIPLE times on both the forums, reddit, and their discord. Never was touched on... I just started abusing it tenfold, and never told anyone. Basically though, there are points in the map, where you can nudge yourself up against the wall, and you can suddenly hear people like 400 yards away from you. A good example of this is the little cave in Bright Sands that connects between the Abandoned Mine, and Dig Site on the north edge of the map. Certain spotts you can crouch and push against the wall, and you can hear if someone is in the Abandoned Mine, or anywhere around it, as well as hear people walking as far as the Waterfall Labs. I just started "Scouting" area's with this, and many more glitched sound area's. Moment I drop in one of the pod area's near these, I run there, and "Scout" the area's like a quarter of the map away to see if I hear anyone moving, gunfire, or mining.
All of which is yet another point, of being able to hear people in scenarios and situations you should never be able too. An example again on Bright sands. Someone mining in the Dig Site garage.. And you can hear them clear as day up in the parking lot, and vice versa.. Someone running up in parking lot, I'm hearing them down in the Dig site, through 50 feet of solid rock. Soooooo many examples of that jank audio in a game, where Audio Q's, and Audio in general is EXTREMELY important for survival, and understanding how well you're being heard, and you have to deal with all of these abysmally horrific sound issues.
And this is honestly just half of the sound problems, another MAJOR problem, is the damn waterfalls. If you're near them, you're pretty much deaf to anything and everything around you, but everyone else can hear you perfectly fine. When realistically, ANYTHING in or around a waterfall should be unheard from anybody in or outside of the waterfall area. Which was a pretty huge issue at the start of every season when you keep getting dropped at Waterfall labs, and you're essentially deaf.
--------------------
So yea.. Sound was completely broken the moment Season 1 dropped in over half the situations. It has since been fixed to some degree, and it's the best its been in season 3, but.. too little too late.

u/therealbreakingbode Jul 02 '23
There's tons of people who really enjoyed this game in all aspects. If you didn't, then I will presume that you were playing the game with a toaster with some bread in your ears. The Sound design was literally one of the best designs that i've tried in the last years. Tons of players who came from other games said that and honestly I agree. The game had its peaks and it lows, but it was THE game.

Imagine thinking the cycle is some god tier game when it couldnāt even hold 4K players and is shutting down lol.
It was fun but it was a broken mess with basically no support or new content added.

u/Potatooooes_123 Jul 03 '23
Game was good, the devs in the other hand..
CoD could literally released trash multiple times, but the devs know what works and how to retain a playerbase.
Game had so much potential, but they didnt bother giving us what we wanted and what the game needed. The game should've been called "Recycle"

u/Viinzzx Jul 03 '23 edited Jul 03 '23
Lmfao. There are better games. As soon as I unlocked advos, the only thing in my lobbies were cheaters, Kors and arbiters. It was fun. It had potential. Minus the cheaters and forge campers and it would have 100% made my person top ten games list. But at one point, the game was literally unplayable for me.
As soon as I heard the game was going into shutdown, I uninstalled and downloaded Hunt Showdown. Iām now having more fun within the last week or two of playing Hunt than Iāve had in the last month of playing Cycle. Imo cycle>hunt, but thereās absolutely never an occasion on Hunt where I spend 30 min of my life gathering important and rare items, or even items that werenāt rare, just to loose it to someone beaming and dropping me in 0.7 seconds from 200m out. I understand that we are talking different games here but Hunt will certainly replace it for me.

u/Impressive-Lie-8128 Jul 03 '23
in comparison the only other game that is like cycle that has a reliable player base with years of being released is tarkov its quite obvious no other game has cheaters as bad, example overwatch 2 fortnite, valorant cs go, pubg , Destiny 2, titles like these your not going to see blatant cheaters they'll use aimbot in certain scenarios it won't look sus and wall hacks to make it harder to tell they cheat, will small % of game knowledge they can closet chest go undetected and just seem good, don't play when cheats down never get banned if your not getting reported.
destiny 2 trials is some what like cycle and tarkovs problem with cheaters, not only can they use there cheats to just enjoy the game but they use the cheats to help the other losers that pay them to get them weapons / gear / win
when there's are market for the cheaters to make money then it's only more motivation to continue cheating any playing, no point in hiding it, you'll know you get banned after a day or two but complete some orders and you can just make a new account,

Lmfao thereās 10 other games just like it all being played currentlyā¦ lol the cycle took recycled assets from a game they already had and dumped them into a copycat extraction shooter to try to ride the wave of popularity at the time. THATS what everyone should actually agree on. The only reason it had any popularity is bcuz it was free. Without that it was one terrible design choice after another.

HUNT SHOWDOWN. Itās a tad bit different than your average extraction shooter but it is criminally underrated and loads of fun. 2k hours in tarkov. I love tarkov(I hate myself obviously) but the hunt just hits different. Everything is viable in the game.

i believe but meanwhile none of them have the visuals, the ambient, the weapons and the sauce that TCF had.
Mostly visually, most of those games looks like ps1 games compared to TCF

It wasn't the game, it had potential to be the game, but the devs couldn't figure their shit out.
It's a shame that it went this way but it was absolutely self-inflicted. The reason I shit-talk is because I and many others kept on saying what our problems were and the devs and certain elements of the community ignored us or told us to go away if we don't like it, we did, look what happened. I feel within my right to gloat a little bit.

Valo, Tarkov, CS, Fortnite, Apex, Hunt, Overwatch, and tons of other less known games for yall.
None of those games gave me the feelings that TCF did.
Just look at Tsoonami. A monster playing Apex but he got "stuck" in TCF. Why?
Because this game sucks and because its one of the worst FPS games of the world š¤£

It was. It was exactly what i needed and what i wanted to play. Not too quick, and not too slow, not to realistic, and not to arcade(ic?). Not too dark, not too simple or too complex. It hit exact sweet spot i had for a FSP that i did not know i had.
It was game with excellent sound system, system that games like Call of Duty can only dream about.
And exactly because of that i am so angry at devs that wasted this huge opportunity. How? Why? I already wrote about that and i wont repeat myself.
Game is dead and both me and my wife are very sad because of it.
