#DOAG . Death of a Game is a series dedicated to uncovering the mysteries surrounding the death of a game or company. nerdSlayer defines the term "death" in the context of the show as either... 1. Literally dead. 2. Had a mass exodus of players and never recovered (expectations etc). 3. The company ceased to exist. We follow a timeline of events, to uncover clues concerning why a game or company doesn't do well, and attempt to put it all together at the end for a deduction explaining how or why the game failed based on the evidence gathered.

It's amazing seeing just how many games you've covered that I've never heard of. And a lot of them end up looking cool, but almost always get crushed by being a bit crap or terrible business decisions. It sucks.

[auraline_vt]

Well thats a game I never even once heard about

Elyon, the game no one asked for and they could have just made a sequel to Tera in a new unreal engine. Imagine doing neither of those things.

It is true what you said about building a community. Customers come and go, but communities make games immortal. I have seen many games survive way past their prime in Ashkon Esports channel. Usually, a small group of dedicated pros preserve the community. Eventually, new technology and marketing allow the community to grow back to a respectable size.

Thank you for bringing the list back at the end. It's easier to track everything if I keep looking at it. Seems silly but it helps a lot.

DOAG videos are always so well researched and written. Keep up the good work man.

You forgot the number 1 reason Tera died before this, Josh Strife Hayes did a video on it so it and all its descendants were cursed.

I played the close beta for 30 minutes and was like "Nope, this ain't it chief." It was an absolute dumpster fire.

The year is 2036: Epic releases their latest version of Unreal Engine, Unreal Engine 8. While much of the gaming world rejoices at the new engine's capabilities, BlueHole Studios announce a brand new MMO that will run on...












Unreal Engine 3.

Dun dun

[vjekobasic]

It's gonna be really, really awesome for you to do DoaG: World of Tanks after being sponsored by them... we ex-WoT players know it's coming soon...

I literally uninstalled the game in less than 4 hours once I noticed they straight up reused the animations of some TERA BAMS (mainly the crabs) for some of their starting mobs that u get to fight. It felt extremely cheap and half assed and if that was what they were showing off at the begging of the game, it made me to stop caring for what the game had further in store

Finally, some good content on YouTube

I really hope one day Fiesta Online gets covered in this series. I grew up playing that as my main MMO for a good portion of my childhood.

MMO Dev: *chooses Unreal Engine 3*
NS: "See you on the show later."

After playing this intensively for a month, the 3 main issues:

1. Heavily imbalanced
2. Not optimized, lots of bugs, crashes, lag. World events disabled due to lag.
3. No proper endgame. (No world bosses, 5 min dungeons, no raids).

Combat was smooth tho and world was nice, and i liked the story somewhat. And class design and skills.

I will never get tired of both the intro song and the other Jazz Noire film that introduces the subject. I’m totally into that Jazz Noire feel, myself. Those are my favorite songs of Death of a Game.

Have you ever considered doing a video or a series about the games that just never seem to die? Ones that have withstood the test of time and what it is that separates them from the rest? I would find it really interesting seeing a video here and there where you discuss a game that is sort of immune to appearing on your channel.

[zohairjafar]

This is the first game covered on this channel that I haven't heard of. Not sure if I should be happy or sad knowing so many failed games lol

[snazzydrew]

I downloaded this game, play for about 4 hours... if felt like a Tera 2. And sadly it didn't capture me the same way Tera did.
