Tom Clancy's Rainbow Six® Siege Reviews

Siege X is the biggest scam I've ever seen in a video game. Barely changed the game at all. Developers hyped the new map changes, but only applied it to 3 maps at launch of the update??? The entire game is exactly the same as it has always been, desync ruling every gunfight. Community is super toxic, ranked system relies on hidden MMR, so current rank holds no weight in matchmaking. That means that if you make it to say, Emerald 2 one season, the next season reset will reset you to copper, and continue to put you against emerald opponents. This makes ranking up the most miserable grind of any game out there. Would not recommend investing time into this game.

Let me preface this review by saying, I fucking LOVE Siege's fundamental game concept and how the game is played. Concept-wise, it is easily my best tac-shooter that I've ever played. However, Siege X has fundamentally ruined the game. Hit-Reg problems that make me second-guess every shot and make me have more hours on the replay system than matches played. Blatant cheaters just FAFO'ing around our matches. Shitty matchmaking system that sets you in a endless loop of 4-1 to 1-4 then back to 4-1 and then again 1-4 over and over and over and over and over again. Unranked is borderline unplayable thanks to F2P fucks just not learning how to play the game and just speed-running levels Game-breaking glitches that takes WEEKS to resolve somehow (Castle breaking matches, Outback having an exploit which let you rappel-phase through a wall.) The sound system is so abyssmally bad and misleading at times, it has made me and my duo question whether or not we put our in-ears the right way. Everytime a major game company changed their major 5v5 games to a new engine and announced major changes and plus points, it has been an absolute disaster and Siege X is no exception to that rule. What a dissappointment. The game took a step forward and got hit by a car back to the starting. EDIT: Will I keep continuing to play this game because I still am in love with the actual fundamentals? Yes. Will I still hate the devs for completely ruining this game? Also yes. But if you're expecting a genuinely good tac shooter, you missed it until they fix this game. But considering it took them 1-2 weeks to fix Castle's game-breaking bug and the rappel glitch on Outback AND the track record for "sequels" or "engine changes" of 5v5 shooters, I simply have no hope.

I’ve been mostly solo queueing in both ranked and unranked, and genuinely, this game is a rollercoaster. It’s not perfect, but it’s absolutely not bad. I keep coming back, and that says something. Sometimes the game turns into a psychological thriller. Last alive, no idea where the enemies are, no callouts. You gotta do your own thing. Heart pounding. Kinda love it. Smart strats with the right operators on the right maps definitely make this game special, and you can win a round just by using an operator’s abilities the right way though. That tactical tension you get here is really something

It's dogshit...it's finally dogshit. I have had this game since 2015. I have 6,126.6 hours in game. I've been through operation health and every other horrible season. The game is now unplayable. Every mode and every match, you have modders with wallhacks, aimbot, no recoil...you name it. I've bought every battlepass except this one. Ubisoft can lick my balls from the backside...this is the worst the game has ever been.

yeap the thing is im still in copper after over 1k hours playing, im not a tryhard like my friend Bryce, but i actually try to have fun with it. I don't treat the game as a (trigger WARNING!!!) J()B but i actually play it as a game. Take this review as u want... I would strongly unrecommend if your Bryce.

This game is many things fun is not one of them i literally hate this game so much but i swear to jesus that game has some magnet or something that physically makes me play the game do not play this game if you want to be a good person :3

Ugh, the cheaters in Rainbow Six Siege are absolutely ruining the experience. It’s like every time you’re finally starting to feel good about your game, some guy just shoots you through walls or pre-fires every corner. It’s so frustrating! It doesn't matter how good your team is, you’re just bound to get one or two cheaters ruining everything. The hackers are everywhere—aimbots, wallhacks, you name it.It’s honestly becoming so hard to take the game seriously when it feels like half the time you’re just trying to fight the game itself and not just the other team. And even worse, Ubisoft’s anti-cheat system doesn’t seem to catch them fast enough. Sometimes the cheaters are in your match for what feels like forever before anything gets done.It’s not just about getting a loss, either. It’s the whole vibe of the game—everyone starts getting annoyed, people leave, and then you’re stuck trying to 1v5 or whatever. It’s exhausting. Why even bother grinding if half your games are just ruined by these clowns? 😤

[h1] Don't bother [/h1] The days when one could squeeze a single ounce of joy from this game are long gone. R6 Siege has gradually had all the fun stripped away over the years, all in order to please humorless competitive grumps. But the kicker is - this game sucks as a competitive experience as well. If you want a better bang for your [b]buck[/b] then I recommend picking any of the older installments and skipping this one altogether. [h2] Dancing on Tom Clancy's grave [/h2] What started as a series of realistic, tactical shooters in accordance to late Mr. Clancy's work, has now become a stew of completely [b]clash[/b]ing ideas. If you thought this game is anything like Squad or SWAT, or if you came back after 10 year break, then launching this game is going to feel like a [b]sledge[/b]hammer to the face. Spacesuits, ninjas, medieval knights, edgy skaters, f*cking Rick and Morty skins - why does every game these days want to be Fortnite? They are sacrificing their own identity for pennies, but that is to be expected from Ubi. Just release a sh*tty new skin and [b]ram[/b] it down their players' throats. [h2] Balance [/h2] They ruined the game in the name of "balance". Rainbow looked really pretty in the beginning but at some point the development came to an awkward [b]gridlock[/b], when they discovered that the game can't look nice, be competitive and offer some fun at the same time. So they went after what brings the most money - competitive scene. This 200 [b]IQ[/b] move resulted in them having to fix the balance of the game, because the devs clearly do not like people playing the meta - so they re[b]kali[/b]brate the damage, health, gadgets, weapons etc. all the time, seemingly at random. And don't even get me started on cheaters. Let me [b]ela[/b]borate - despite ubisoft displaying the bans in real time (which is completely un[b]solis[/b]ited, obscures the kill-feed and needs to be disabled by hand) there is a cheater in every other match. Trying to git good in this game is a [b]rook[/b]ie mistake - just have fun in silver - beyond that it makes no [b]sens[/b]e. Oh, but wait. The rank you see isn't actually the rank you [i]have[/i]. The former is reset after each season (presumably to reset the hard-stuck players) but it doesn't matter because the real rank is hidden and can only be seen through 3rd party app (wtf??). This is the real [b]thorn[/b] in my side. They blow the [b]smoke[/b] up my a*s after each rankup - but my real rank never changes and I keep getting my rear handed back to me no matter how much I derank. There is no point in tr[b]ying[/b] anymore. [h2] Bugs [/h2] It baffles me how a game developed for so long can have so many bugs - and each update brings a fresh truckload of them - some may cause retina-obliterating glitches, some may cause unexpected gameplay issues. Most likely you will get kicked without any option of rejoining the match. Seriously, you need a [b]mira[/b]cle in order to rejoin an ongoing match. The wi-fi went bust in the middle of the match and want to continue with your phone hot-spot? Forget it, here at Ubisoft we don't consider such edge-cases as user losing the Internet for 3 seconds. Of course you will get banned, it's your fault for not living in the NASA headquarters. This scenario made me blow my [b]fuze[/b] more times than I can count. The list of bugs I [b]doc[/b]umented is staggering and it keeps getting bigger. The best thing is, the most recent update - Rainbow Six X - was supposed to fix a majority of problems and instead it just made things worse. At this point I feel like there is [b]zero[/b] chance, this game is ever going to be stable [h2] [b]Ash[/b]es to ashes [/h2] Not gonna lie, the future of R6S is looking pretty [b]grim[/b]. I feel like they should just give up on trying to fix this game, just make it fun again by rolling back all the sad "competitively viable" updates and let people go wild. Also sorry for the puns, I hope they won't be [b]echo[/b]ing in your heads for too long. And if you don't agree - I will head my way and you [b]goyo[/b]ur way.

absolute dogshit of a game. You think CS has the worst hit-register? Play a fucking game of rainbow and you will feel like you fell from heaven to hell. Have anger issues? Then its just the right game for you! Youll either smash your whole place up after 5 minutes of playing or youll become a fucking tibetan monk and will start looking for peace within yourself. 0/10, will play again

Unless you want crippling depression, don't play this game, i want to die.
