You say "shooters" like the whole genre isn't still one of the biggest MP draws around on both console and PC.

The recent numbers of just Destiny 2 and PUBg that we've seen show you that it's not the genre itself.

Destiny 2, COD, and BF2 will be the top sellers again in 2017. It's not shooters that people are tired of, it's the competition with the FPS or shooter genre hurting Lawbreakers' numbers.

Lawbreakers is a solid game, but there are better options for shooter fans right now IMO. Is Lawbreakers more fun than Overwatch, D2, PUBg, etc.? Looks like other consumers are saying, no, too.

People are not sick of shooter, that's like saying people are sick of sports games. You're talking about the genres that drive the industry on a year in year out basis. You guys got to get off of this idea that because you don't like whats popular, that it somehow kills the industry; because in reality it actually keeps it going, for now. Saying this is kinda childish, if you look at the annual numbers for unit sales the highest selling games are usually some kind of shooter and a sports game. Deal with it. In the case of LawBreakers, this is a case of bad timing. Overwatch is killing any and every game that falls under the hero shooter motif...and it should have launched on XB1 at the same time....companies have to get out of this mindset that giving games only to Sony. Giving your product to the biggest pot is a fine idea, but not when everyone is doing it. It's way to easy to get lost in the shuffle. Sont gave the a tank load of money to keep the game off other machines, but then support the damn thing with substantial advertisement. Instant fail day one.

Never bother to correct you on any case I just read the comments .

Anyways if you want justification to my opinion. Here you go it's a arena shooter on console. There are no arena style shooters on console atm.

You are saying the market is oversaturated and that is just a blanket statement just simply due to the fact almost every genre as a sub . Examples are fighting games and racing games. You have 2d fighters, 3d fighters , 2.5D fighter. Racing games have open world racing, or arcade style racing.

Last I just wanted to add how is law breakers competing with overwatch ? Like me saying battleborne is competing with overwatch.

Now you could say there is not enough demand for that kind of game to help your argument .

I don't know if they're getting sick of them. Granted, I can sympathize with that since I haven't bought a shooter since Call of Duty 2 due to burning out and losing interest, but I'm not so sure that others suddenly feel this way.

I personally believe it's just the second part of what you said: people already have Overwatch. I think that whenever a big enough game comes along in a genre, people don't care to buy a similar title.

Overwatch isn't really showing signs off slowing down either. I hate to say it, but Lawbreakers might do better if they try to expand beyond its shooter elements like Overwatch and try being inclusive. We're kind of in an era where narrative is everything (and we've been slowly working our way towards that for years) so it makes sense to craft a universe with characters and purpose you care about. I know, Cliff doesn't speak "SJW", but it might help.

Not sick of them, but most people only play one or two games at a time.

People are sick of shooters yet the biggest games out today are shooters..... good one. PUBG smashing steam records left and right.

The game just isn't very good compared to what is available.

I don't think its shooters in general.

Shooters still do very well. Look at Destiny 2. Its doing great in sales. There are different types of shooters though, and this just comes across like a cheap Overwatch clone.

You would have thought that after Overwatch and Battleborn released at the same and only one came out standing, that Cliffy B would habe realized that Blizzard has the Team Based shooter on lockdown for the time being. So maybe he shouldn't habe released that?

Gears did so well originally because there was really only one other cover based shooter at the time and it was very obscure. He introduced somehthing new to a lot of people and did it well.

But here, he just went with what os already popular and did it poorly.

I don't think it's because people are getting sick of shooters. It's just that anyone could've guessed that Lawbreakers would never reach success ever since the very first trailer.

It is bland and generic. It's nothing new. It has no appeal.

So often you see devs writing articles on gamasutra.com about "Why My Game Failed" and then go on an elaborate analysis of their marketing strategy and such.... but 9 out of 10 times, it is abundantly clear their game simply failed because because it was just straight-up unappealing. And that is the case for Lawbreakers. I don't see how anyone could've thought that game would sell

PUBG says high.

"People are just getting sick of shooters..." which really does account for PUBG breaking records on Steam. /s

The character designs do not stand out at all in this game. Everyone is too generic and super realistic to appeal to anyone. The gameplay doesn't do enough to seperate itself from the rest of the market and the "Skilled players only" marketing they did scared away a ton of people.

Its nothing like overwatch

The thirst is real 😂

Don’t worry man, your “most diverse lineup” will hopefully come next year.

You maybe.

OK, why the hell are you guys trolling him for? for simply wanting the game to come to the other side? sure the devs wanted to make it PC+PS4 only from the beginning but now that the game is having trouble with player count, why not encourage them to bring it over to the Xbone side too? and WTH are these talks about quality? based on reviews, the game is good and the gameplay is solid. quality is not the problem with LawBreakers, it's just being overshadowed too much by being in the same genre as the massively popular Overwatch or as I would love to call it Overhype. I'm not a fan of the game, nor CliffB per say but let's not paint a picture where LawBreakers is not a good game or broken or is low quality because it's not. it has more contents that Overhype did at launch and was launched cheaper too.

I remember all the defending comments from Blizzard fanboys last year when Overhype cost $60 for an online only bareboned content game. yeah...you guys go keep sucking that Blizzard's d!ck!

If this game hasnt done well on PC/PS4 then it wont do well on the XBOX.

It would be a waste of resources
