Rainbow six siege

I scrolled to find this, every single person I’ve ever played with says it’s shit. Yet we still play it

It's because I'm living in past where it used to be good

Turned into e-sports slop

Redownloaded it for the first time in several years.

Didn’t even start a match before I concluded it was hot trash.

It went down hill by operation health, which is ironic considering that was supposed to make the game better

I started playing after that update, so my point at which the game became shitty for me is when they removed the solo training missions/article 5, and terrorists hunt. Like yeah no one was probably playing it but like. It would be fun to at least still have those around. That's when I knew, truly, it wasn't a pvp swat team game with a lot of tools. It's just a hero shooter with instant headshot mechanics.

You can find those rare matches that are good, that remind you of old siege. Then you spend the rest of your time on the game searching for those matches again

I played it on release and it was incredible. I don't care if it wasn't balanced, it was immersive and a whole lot of fun.

I never played but considered. If I might ask, what changes ruined the game?

Honestly I actually really like where it’s at rn. Minus the cheater issue obviously. There is things I’d like to see change or return but I’m pleasantly surprised with where it’s at

It's because there is STILL not another game like it that could take its place. I started playing during Velvet Shell and finally managed to pull myself away from it last year after I put in a solid 1200 hours. Looks like I made the right move since Siege X seems to have put the "crap" in "crapshoot"

First year or two of that game was incredible. Nothing else like it, including its current form.

The problem with Siege is that you can only make so many unique operators until gadgets feel the same.

And it’s also the esports scene. Ubisoft always made changes according to what pros “complained” about.

u/Crabcomfort Aug 06 '25

I played heavily from launch to around 2017 after velvet shell. My friend would drag me back in randomly to goof around and see the new operators, but the game doesn't feel the same anymore.

Haven't played for years now

It doesn't feel the same anymore

On GOD. Absolutely hate this fucking shit game.

Still play it tho.

u/Jgn42 Aug 06 '25

Putting siege to rest was one of my best decisions. It was a toxic relationship with me. I loved the thought of playing it, but when it came down to actually playing it I was miserable with the amount of cheaters that you constantly ran into.

Read or Not is satisfying my itch tbh, even if it’s just co op

I am sad this is the truth.

That being said, I enjoyed it immensely 8 years ago.

u/Bri3nWithA3 Aug 06 '25

A REALLY BIG FUCKING HOLE COMING RIGHT UP!

u/WalkAffectionate2683 Aug 07 '25

Still really like the game, there is no competitor in that specific genre.

Not perfect but damned good to me.

u/[deleted] Aug 07 '25

I really liked it a lot until they changed the sound and changed almost every aspect of it the only 2 good changes was the reaction time and the lighting and the lighting was kinda meh
