Old siege had the best aesthetic. It looked tactical and gritty but had fun and addictive gameplay. Sometimes what makes a game memorable is just a great art direction. Some players wanna get immersed in a cool game with a cool aesthetic. (Think like CODMW 2019. That game's gameplay was decisive in the fanbase to say the least, but oh man that tacticool artstyle. The way the reloads were based off of real military reload techniques, the way the operators looked like real operators, CLEAN HOUSE. Dude, PEAK tacticool.) I think Siege use to have a great aesthetic, but when they made changes to the game to make it "more competitive" they didn't just change the gameplay, it changed the experience too. - No longer are you just playing as operators whom were carefully selected from elite CTUs around the globe. But now, you play as random dudes who's only qualifications are "they made a cool gadget" and "They can shoot guns," And most of these guys look like lame airsofters. Like even though the base ops might not wear the most period accurate equipment(looking at you tachanka), there were still at least based off of some kind of real life images of their units. It gave a sense of authenticity, like you were playing as the some of the most elite units in history, like SAS, GIGN, GSG9, etc... IT WAS COOL but now Rainbow Six(the unit) just feels like the military avengers or something smh. - They also changed the old simple and clean hud that worked well with the serious tone, and made into a more colorful and more "esports" like design. The same thing also happened to the main menu as well. They even removed the awesome intro. You know the one with the suit up sequence into the R6 logo before slowly revealing the title of the latest update. That shit was so badass, but now the only place you can see it is on youtube, or in the demo version you can play while downloading the game on console. - A lastly they also changed the graphics too. Looking at the old game, it almost looked like a battlefield game, it was so much more prettier. But they had to change it for complaints about visual clarity, which I totally get, but man its unfortunate they had to trash the ENTIRE lighting system and replace it with a new one. But tbh... i don't really want to see current siege to try to commit to making itself gritty and tactical again. I could complain all i want about how old siege good, new siege bad, but the thing is siege is still relatively popular, so I don't really see ubisoft have any reason to do that. They got a new generation of fans that like siege just the way it is(mostly anyway), so I've just come to accept that the siege that i really liked, isn't ever coming back. Unless of course they decided to make a new game that fully commits to being authentic and tactical again. (Edit: Whoops thats a lot of words. TLDR: I really like the way old siege looked, I liked the tactical aesthetic, but a lot of people are into the newer version and that is fine.)

Yea, Siege changed from a "tactical FPS shooter" to a "generic competitive eSport shooter". The game now, at least for me, is no different to that of CSGO because of how most people play this game. I started from year 1 and stopped at the end of year 8. Starting from year 6, 7 ish - I feel that the game shifted heavily into TDM meta and even until now, no change. I am tired of starting the game and having to do 6-8 reinforcements and opening most of the rotation holes and angles. I am tired of people not knowing what operator they are playing. I am tired of people not knowing what game mode they are playing other than "TDM". I am tired of people being dumb, greedy for kills. I feel like the most well-rounded, competence player base of this game mostly left, leaving most ranked games a chore to play because it is constantly "silvers, golds" VS "emeralds, diamonds, champions", people say ranked 2.0 visual rank bla bla bla but they can't explain the skill gap differences between two teams. For me, Siege is a dead game, as in a walking dead, no soul, just a walking corpse ... and just because it still walks, sometimes walk far, people tout "Siege is alive and well, suck on these numbers" - just big numbers, miserable experience.

I'm assuming most of the frustration is from R6 looking too much like its competitors such as the recent CoDs now, where it feels like they're all going through an identity crisis and everything has to look more kid-friendly, trendy and vibrant instead of sticking to something gritty and unapologetic. And especially in R6's case, most people probably enjoyed it because of its artstyle at the time, and having that be changed in any sense probably makes people feel betrayed and alienated from what originally caught their attention. And in term of Ubisoft I don't think anyone's surprised they played it safe, they wanna be just like everyone else now which is contrast to how early titles of theirs were. I don't think it's entirely the gameplay that's the problem, it's changing things that people didn't want to have changed that most likely is.

Hi G! I'm a newbie to Siege and I've been seeing a lot of those nostalgic people, and for a while it discouraged me from spending the (very) arduous time learning the game. Seeing people constantly say the game is dead, being killed by Ubi, used to be "slow and tactical" etc. was pretty scary, to say the least. Your recent talk videos about your fireside chat with the devs, and the opinionated vids including this one has encouraged me to keep playing. I appreciate your channel so much as someone just getting to know the siege comm online, so thank you! :) If I can ask, would you say Macie Jay fits in this camp of nostalgic oldheads? Especially what he says about one shot headshot etc. as he does also reminisce about a time of "slow and tactical" siege. Thanks again!
@GGE
Ай бұрын
Macie is referencing the utility simulator era of 2020, to which that point is valid. However, general malaise with the gaming industry especially live service has caused a lot of arguments to be lumped into each other. Macie laments a slow Siege that is gone because the utility is not as important as it was in 2020. Rage gamers lament a slow Siege that is gone because the game HAD utility to begin with. It's a sort of weird "gamer populism" that has infected much of the internet particularly millennials and gen xers, often rife with rose-tinted glasses about the industry as it stood during their teenage years or childhood. Their arguments often ignore the fact that their generation of old cynics at the time got just as upset about Rainbow Six Vegas, likening it to a mainstream Gears of War clone. The "John Gunguy" games got mad fun of just like the "uwu Fortnite" games get made fun of now.

@GGE The aesthetics of a product will tend to reflect the userbase; tac shooters attract the gun dude bro demographic; vibrant cartoony games on the other hand attract zoomers and players that are more interested in the game mechanics. These players are more likely to then cultivate a competitive scene. The gameplay can change all you want but what I hear from people in the dude bro gun larp groups is that inconsistency in lighting, style and tone is what's so bothersome to most. Maps and gameplay can and should adhere to appeasing the players that play the game but for a while now the feel and aesthetics of "NU"Siege have shifted so much from the original grit, that now everything feels so washed and stale for basically everyone. Exactly like with the MW1 - MW2 - MW3 Reboot cycle that you pointed out.

In my own opinion what changed my opinion on siege was the skill difference and balance in gunfights. I think what people want when they say bring back old siege is to bring back more variety in gunfights. In my prospective of siege in the past the games felt varied because there were bad players, average players and skillful players on both sides. New siege feels different because people have more experience in gameplay making matches more sweaty. And additions such as tdm as a gamemode made the average skill rate even higher and harder for someone to contend with.

Like we could have gotten an extra year out of that. But otherwise, I always was find with Siege shifting its design philosophy from trying to appear tacticool to actually being about quick strategic decision making and team cohesion made it a stronger game. Like I came back after peacing out in Year 4, and a ton of the changes have made it a better game. Still gonna miss my proper bullet holes over bullet decals but the game definitely is still a blast.

When nobody knows what they are doing creative situations arise to solve new problems. Now it feels systematic and stagnate.

Doesn't mean that modern Siege has no pricing issues (looking at you, PS Plus), but a base price of 20 dollars makes the game a lot more interesting to buy than basically three times that price.

Siege has been my main game since beta. Although the game BARELY worked and was not at all balanced, the atmosphere and tone was more immersive. It was casual fun! less obvious cheating mixed with silly bugs allowed people to enjoy despite the shortcomings. As time went on, people found exploits, the game went from casual fun to competitive abuse. Ubi double downed on Esports and metas started to develop. The cracks became more obvious and after 2 years they replaced the f***ing dev team! The game feels too clean, sterile and safe. Balance changes are small, often questionable (if we even get any) while less content being added to the game as time goes on sucks. Map/operator bans, less overall content and lack of needed balance changes has led to a repetitive and stale game state. Players get comfortable with what they have because change is hard, but change is what pushes the game forward. This game has been stagnating for some time now and the future looks bleak. This isn't the Rainbow I fell in love with, it's the hollowed out shell of a game that used to exist, replaced with a soulless corporate shadow of mediocracy

The game just felt to kill oriented to me, it didn’t really feel like the same game I picked up when I was 10… I’m not gonna sit here and say the game is trash because it isn’t, I just feel like somewhere along the lines of social media/ influence and monetization/ corporate greed the game kinda just lost its claim to fame and became something I’m not exactly sure how to explain, I might be tripping but if you disagree feel free to let me know!

As someone who played both the closed and open betas, playing both on console and PC, and stuck with the game through Burnt Horizon before taking a break. I'm not just looking through rose tinted glasses when I say the game was more fun back then. Gadgets felt impactful back then for most operators, and gunplay was also more fun. Most operators gadgets don't feel like they matter as much as they used to, and the gunplay feels awful. The "utility meta" started because Ubi added a bunch of crap that forced players to focus on utility until Ubi nerfed a ton of gadgets into being pointless. The gadgets being pointless was what led to the "gunfight meta" and in my opinion Ubi took the wrong approach to curbing that by nerfing all of the recoil and ADS speeds across the board. Currently Siege has the most recoil of any FPS game in the industry right now. Ubi doesn't seem to understand how to balance game mechanics. Everything gets nerfed and it is so fucking frustrating. Even when things get buffed or tweaked for a desired outcome, those same things just get nerfed next update. If a certain playstyle picks up too much traction it gets patched out of existence. I understand that sometimes nerfs are necessary but when it's the only thing that seems to happen it ends up feeling more like a punishment for going against the intended gameplay loop than anything else. I want to play Siege, I do really like the core game. But with how balance is handled and how atrocious the cheating problem is, I honestly can't enjoy the game now. I'm shocked people still play the game to be entirely honest.

I still have nightmares of Ash and Ela quick leaning and dropshotting. I vastly prefer the gameplay of Siege today. But, I do miss the original, cohesive aesthetic. I really wish silly skins in serious games did not take off, but we can thank Valve and Fortnite for that. Also regarding the White Masks, it would’ve been cool to have a campaign dedicated to stopping them. You don’t just gas a university and not talk about it in anyway. I just hope we get another proper PvE Rainbow Six game in the future.

I’ll also thank you to clean my bedsores and make sure the nurses aren’t stealing money!! When is my grandson coming to see me? It’s been months! What’s that? I don’t have a grandson?

I think esports has just become a radioactive topic amongst "casual" gamers. The misconception is always that the game used to be fun and chill but then the devs turned it into an unfun sweatfest to cater to the elite one percenter esports players. The reality is actually that the skill level of any deep competitive game rises exponentially with time in this age of instant information and social media. And Siege is a 10 year old game.This necessitates changes from the devs to keep the game from breaking. Esports is just the logical endpoint of a competitive game, and we're the reason why. People just love nostalgia and yearn for the days when most players were bad at the game.

I have fallen away from siege in the last couple years because the gameplay loop of ranked finally crumbled for me(and the generally poor feel to casual matchmaking which feels like it keeps putting me in lobbies that are too good for me and esp my friends) and maybe doing 10 mans again would fix me i definitely miss the 10 mans i was apart of with your community. But maybe im also a nostalgic nancy and the game and the overall community changed too much for me and i cant keep up

Overall, still a better game back then, and peaked during the 2017-2018 era. Siege changed from a tactical FPS shooter with an atmospheric graphic to a competitive eSport FPS shooter with watered down graphics, bland music, bland everything. Started from year 1 and quit the game at the end of year 8 because nowadays, almost everyone just spawn in and start shooting, no one knows what op they are playing, no one knows what game mode they are playing. The skill gap increases because most of the well-rounded players left, so every ranked game its "silver, golds" VS "emeralds, diamonds and champs" (people say visual rank bla bla bla but can't explain the actual skill gap). Siege is a walking dead of a game, no soul, just the corpse. People say "Siege player count is all time high" but then the actual experience is miserable because most of the player base were replaced by younger, dumber generation that is no way comparable to the young generation from 2015.

It's sucks that you're correct because I wish old siege was back soo bad! Not saying its bad that you're telling the truth, but man I just love tactical shooters like Insurgency Sandstorm that take real world material and mechanics and put it in the hands of the players. Old Siege had a grounded but unique art style from the U.I. to the character icons and even their character intros! I think its more of just a preference that I like slightly broken but fun shooters, to ones that are micro balanced for (sometimes) esports or changes that go against the original artstyle like night maps. Its why i dont prefer esports to where imo it min-max's the fun and "gaming" nature for people that want to be pretend cops. Plus, as much as i complained back then about dying to beulo peeking sweats, that was just me venting about being bad. I felt that siege had the perfect artstyle back then with solid gunplay and gadgets, but then siege jumped the shark and made it more sterile and marketable to a wider audience. Which imo, i always prefer niche art style audiences over gigantic inoffensive ones. I hope my massive nostalgic rambling made sense! 👍

I mean tbf, those steam charts back then don't show the ENTIRE playerbase from other platforms, so we really can't tell if the game was gonna die in those times unless we have more data to back that up....then again Ubi probably wouldn't have gone so hard into e-sports if it wasn't dying. It could've had just been a niche hit with tacticool gamers and content creators like Insurgency Sandstorm and Ready or Not, but tbf those two games didn't exist back then. Also, maybe I'm ignorant to marketing and war politics, but didn't COD4 get its assed chewed out by modern media back in the day for the "No Russian" mission? It had as much tact for real world issues as a sledgehammer, yet the game sold like hot cakes for its suggestive political material. It's partly the reason why its remembered and reveared so well by the COD community because it was possibly their first introduction into COD games. Same could go with the GTA series as well! Sometimes all publicity is good publicity, you know?

It's definitely a matter of the change in art style. I do miss the old menus and lightning. Made the game look more gritty and grounded. However on the matter of Patriots....while I understand the reasoning...I disagree with it. Topics such as domestic terrorism should be portayed in media....respectfully of course...but they should. I am aware of the backlash the game had (especially from right wing media like Fox... because quite frankly...the main villains did resemble right wing extremist groups.) but that should not stop a medium from portraying a topic that isn't portayed that much in media....but oh well capitalism is gonna capitalism and what isn't profitable may as well wither and burn.

I have played since December 2015, I got the game for free with my GPU which I bougth at that time; and I can confirm that the playerbase was pretty small, it was not uncommom to recognize a lot of other players from previous games. R6 Siege was also very fun back then because no one of us knew what we were doing, we were all still learning.

Siege went through so much shit from it's inception mostly because of Ubisoft and how they managed the franchise. The entire game cycle was Ubisoft makes something broken af-> players use the broken shit all season-> Ubisoft fixes the broken thing-> Ubisoft adds new broken shit. Every new operator was busted and pay to win from release. Ubisoft thought they could do this forever without the need for changing much of the game. Instead reality exists and the issues just compounded culminating in an insanely dense overpopulated section of operators with their own unique meta and then defenders trying to guess the operator selection on pure chance. The issue still exists and it is the issue that other character fps games faced since the dawn of time there is a threshold for too many of the same variation making collaboration impossible to balance.

I see near the end of your videos that you tend to show division gameplay. Do you ever intend about talking about that game? It seems to do a similar thing to Siege where it isn't trying to be provoking. Maybe the wrong word but playing TD1 and TD2 for the first times in the last two weeks, it feels very bad guy bad, but with a ton of untapped potential in every narrative sense. TD2 has been incredibly fun at least, and im addicted. Feels like learning Destiny all over again.
