titan fall 2. never actually got to appreciate it because by the time i found it the server matching was completely broken. all they need to do is allow private servers or fix the matching system and the game would be playable. seems like plenty of people want to play it. I don't know why they decided let the game die instead. makes no damn sense.

Orcs Must Die Unchained. Pretty good game overall, was trying to be a league of legends type of game with 3D TD, it didn't get a player base going, so they swapped it over to a solo game, the maps were fun as hell and picking through 10+ characters was fun, it was really dynamic and the endless mode was very fun to push. They ended all support, it's offline. Sucks. OMD 3 came out, it's not even a quarter the game. Theirs 4 different player characters, they are all humans. All enemies are orcs or other bad guy type of mobs, unchained had human enemies and a few other variations, there's no where near the number of maps and most maps play in a really predictable way. In Unchained there were maps you needed to build a kill box, sell it, move it, all to get one wave killed, at least on the first few waves, anyway. It almost scratches the itch, but not well. I'm honestly perplexed on why they didn't just include the characters and maps from unchained.

Anyway. It's a very ''there are dozens of us!'' Game. So. I don't expect much here.

Ghost in the Shell - Stand Alone Complex First Assault

All due to capitalism ruining things as usual...

Fur me, it would be Beyond Good and Evil. I really wanted to see where the story went next

The Culling

Before the devs ruined it by throwing away the movement and combat system.

Wasn't canceled but they might as well have because they lost 99% of their playerbase from that one change in Beta.

Loadout. It was a casual PvP (and later PvE) game where you can make your own weapons with wacky combos. It was a bit pay-to-win, but I thought it was very fun. The game crashed and burned because the studio wasn't sure what they wanted to do with it and kept ignoring fans.

I think the PvE spinoff never came out of beta. I was looking forward to it.

I wish we could have gotten R6:Patriots.

Revenant Hill, by one of the Night in the Woods developers. Cancelled due to health problems.

[–] dhampirdamsel@sh.itjust.works 3 points 1 week ago

Probably the Hardsuit Labs version of Bloodlines 2. Playing as a thin-blood and getting to diablerie would have been really fun.

Mag

There's something so special about the command structure, having your own squad v squad, while a whole other battle is taking place around you. But also that you could be pulled for extra resources if needed.

I tried Hell Let Loose, but it's too chaotic and open.

Marvel Heroes. Hopefully the private servers being worked on will be in a playable state someday.

[–] jordanlund@lemmy.world 3 points 1 week ago

True Fantasy Live Online looked like it would have been amazing.

LittleBigPlanet, can't wait for Restitched. At least private servers exist and I can emulate LBP2 on my PC

Honestly, I was really looking forward to EverQuest Next. The idea sounded promising before it was cancelled.

Chrono Break

[–] eronth@lemmy.world 2 points 1 week ago

Breach. An asymmetric game of 5 v 1 with the 5 heroes working through a dungeon crawl while the 1 enemy sets traps or controls random AI characters.

Forgot starhawk not technically cancelled but they never dropped a 3rd game
