If he’s right why is Hytale taking off?
High guard is the victim of hype culture. When the system insists we like a product, the consumer snaps back in the opposite direction. Anyone with a brain knew this game was average but they hyped it up as something special anyway and this is the result.
The industry wants to have its cake and eat it too regarding hype.

it's doomed because they took a game and threw in a ton of mechanics but then also went the opposite direction and made everything short as fuck to format it for esports.

This game has all the bones of some sort of neat MOBA base defense game where 2 teams upgrade their base, have farming economy and shit, and they made it so matches are super short and one team immediately gets rolled in every firefight.

Highguard was not priming itself for a "normal game launch" unless you actually believe they never intended to have a place in the Game Awards.

No matter what you think about the event, the slot they occupied would normally cost a million dollars. They somehow got it for free, but anyone else would have had to have a game worth paying a million dollars just to show it to you.

Ignoring the broader internet being "hateful," that's a big fucking ask. It deserves all the scrutiny its launch got.

They defend literally everything as long as the people/creators aren't -ists or show signs of -ism.
It's why they show up to fuck with ICE despite the number of verified scammers, pedos, drug dealers and abusers, ICE being "racist" is a higher priority on the activism ladder.

It would have flopped anyway. You just wouldn't have had an initial influx of people curious to see how bad it is.

I do think that Geoff is at fault for trying to put something in that empty slot to signal to other advertisers that a million dollars is worth paying even if nobody is paying that much. It's a retarded premise, and I think he's flailing a bit if he thinks he can just upgrade someone's spot like an airliner can get you out of economy to show you how nice having an inch of legroom could be.

But Highguard definitely wanted to be on screen that night, even if it wasn't first class, and they definitely weren't actually prepared to launch if that secure boot shit is true, so they'd get panned either way.

Not really. Gen X is smaller than Gen Y, and for their entire lives Gen X have lived in the shadow of the Baby Boomers. Gen X never got to take the reins from the Boomers, and by the time the boomers die off, Millennials will just instantly take their spots and the remaining Gen X will be stuck playing second fiddle the Millennials the same way they did to the Boomers.

Millennials are already the largest adult demographic in the United States, they eclipsed the Baby Boomers a few years ago as the oldest segments of the boomers have already begun to die off. But the Great Boomer Die-Off hasn't happened yet, it's coming in the next 10-15 years, though.

I don't think the person who wrote the article has played the game. The article is less about Highguard itself and more so a general thinkpiece on the current game controversy landscape. They touch on the game's lack of appeal a little though.

>>731725003
Shit has changed a lot in my opinion, at least on normalfag social media. I haven't been on twitter all that much, but in the rare occasion I do it seems to have almost entirely morphed into /pol/. Facebook seems similar.

I think the rapid monetization of the internet is to blame. Incentivizing reactionary content is probably the single worst thing that has come with the advent of the online age, and I think covid accelerated that by forcing everyone to engage with those systems at deeper and more regular level.

It would've underperformed at best and flopped at worst, though the kernel level anti-cheat doesn't help.
F2P games just "existing" is fine, they do it all the time, Geoff's total cock-up just ensured that:
>there's now a backlog of bad reviews that'll scare people off who only download games based on their reviews
>there's so many bad reviews that it might take years for good reviews (if any) to outweigh and replace them to a good overall score
>the devs have to crunch ASAP to suck the playerbase's cocks while the iron's still hot, or people wont care
>the devs might have to pause more MTX development to focus on getting back a playerbase while the iron's still hot, meaning less short-term funding, which doubly sucks while you're in crunch trying to claw back some possible fans
>it's getting compared directly to Concord (even if that doesn't entirely fit 1:1)

>>731725750
Concord didn't have fans, it had cheerleaders. All the "wokies" online praised how brown and gay the game was and how great the game "objectively" was because of the diversity, but none of them actually bought it.

This also puts paid to the cope about Concord bombing due to the $40 price tag.

Gee, I wonder why everyone is so extremely cynical and kneejerk these days when the Internet used to be a retreat from daily life only to have that slowly eroded away by gigacorps and governments deciding to effectively exploit and weaponize the immense resource that is our collective data. It also doesn't help that everybody getting access to the Internet as it began to centralize created the greatest social cataclysm that mankind has ever experienced. We are still in the throes of it, but the positive feedback loop of monetization and human interest/engagement has essentially created a binary system with both feeding back into the other, the exact engine for conflict. This is why everyone feels the hostility and exasperation and why they will only make it worse.

Listen, all of us know this whole thing is the launch strategy. The attacks, the articles talking about review bombing, the threads... fake, all of it. Just a thing to artificially put the game on the radar with the hopes somebody will actually check out what the whole drama is all about.

The truth is nobody cares about this game, neither to hate it nor to defend it. It´s all paid advertising or bots, maybe both, and it won´t work. Why? Because the game is nothing, just like Concord was nothing. I´m not saying these kind of attacks don´t happen, they do, but they happen to established names with established fanbases. It´s a very different thing to make a shit stand alone game than it is to fuck up a loved IP. When you are ruining something people care about, like say Dragon Age, yeah, you can expect actual people getting angry and throwing stones but if you want to make a self contained game that´s shit... well, go ahead. Nobody is stopping you.

It's not correct. The negative reception was because people overwhelmingly DO NOT WANT what highguard is offering. Journalists are all paid propagandists and grifters so of course they are mad when the masses reject their attempts at manufacturing consent, but the only reason highguard failed was because it immediately looked like shit to anyone who has played a video game in the last ten years and then when it was released those first impressions were confirmed. It's not the audience's responsibility to make sure every game succeeds, it's the devs' responsibility to make a product that sells. The game got 100k players at launch and no amount of "clip farming" and "ragebaiting" will force people to stop playing if they are actually having a good time.

You're literally doing what he just said. You saw someone mention Trump negatively and rushed to defend him because your tribe told you to, instead of engaging with his argument. You refuse to view things objectively and use your own brain, instead relying on the external barometer that is "will the tribe like this or not". The fact that die hard conservatives are willing to give up their 2A rights (an insane thing to even consider) because of the recent ICE shooting is even more proof of this.

Bro jobs are disappearing and people are not being hired regardless of an increase or decrease of immigration. Those immigrants wouldn't even be here if not for the desires of the corporations and upper class in general. You can't even see the forest for the trees. You are still harping on about immigrants when the people who are the source of virtually all of your problems have gone unscathed. Wake me when Trump starts arresting the people hiring illegal immigrants. DeSantis himself has friends that he knows uses illegal immigrants. Also guess what?! Trump himself used illegal immigrants to build Trump tower. Also what do you think of Trump's policies around housing and mortgages? 50 year mortgages was it?

It's surreal how much political activists took over and ruined both Hollywood and Video Games, America's soft power is crumbling because of it, in the old days the only injection of politics that was truly hamfisted was CoD being military propaganda to get kids to enlist when they turn 18. Everything else had some nuance to it at the very least.

Video Games stopped being about fun, they became about agendas and spreading messages. Most vidya stories were basic as fuck but it didn't matter because the games were doing other interesting things. Most games were
>boy meets girl
>boy kicks ass
>boy saves girl
>the end
that's all men need. That's the vidya story equivalent of pic related.

>>731728424
>But no other industry has a phenomenon like this, except MAYBE hollywood.
It's all media products.

I'm pretty sure that during the zero interest phase political activists (or people who see themselves as such) infiltrated the large companies like Disney (Blackrock had some encouraging words too I bet). Disney bought into it, as on paper it doesn't sound too bad at first. Problem: All those activists then get their friends in as well, replacing the real talent. Now you have talentless activists. All in a bubble of positive toxicity. Disney might have realized they fucked up, but they can't admit that DEI doesn't work and most importantly they can't just not release movies until everyone has been replaced. Disney only survives, because too many people blindly consume.

3v3 is perfectly fine. People are being really stupid and expecting fights throughout the game, but the game is split into 3 segments. Loot phase where there is literally no rewards for fighting, capture the flag phase where you want to wipe the enemy team and then escort the shield breaker carrier to the enemy base (or stop theirs from reaching yours) and base siege kind of sabotage game mode which is the only phase where you are actually rewarded for fighting and killing. The 3v3 fits perfectly fine with the ctf and siege segments

There's been a LOT of high profile failures in recent years. If these creatives and their media lackies have a problem with the (mostly young and male) audience demands they are free to move to the literary world for example where women run all the publishing houses as well as make up most of the audience and you can REALLY get away with formulaic crap without complaint. You will make okay money but nowhere near what a hit in gaming will get you. Otherwise, try harder.

You feel an ideological zeal and spiritual satisfaction from seeing video games fail, and that's a stupid way to live. Seek help.

The ham fisted military recruitment media has been around far longer than CoD.
War movies have always existed to shill the join the military, see far off places, visit excessive, justified violence on evildoers and return a beloved hero (or rarely don't and be remembered as an even bigger hero). It's got a timeless appeal that has honestly probably been used even further back than movies or even books because it's that effective at recruiting the common man to fight someone else's battles

Wrong, I am tired of seeing all my favorite franchises die, every new game that comes out is microtranny live service slop.

I actively shit on every gacha gamer, F2P faggot, ladder grinding retard because they are the whales I despise who keeps causing all the money that would go to good game projects, games were you spend a fix $ and get a full 8-20 hour campaign, and maybe some multiplayer on top that is fun and entertaining with player tools to make their own game modes and mods.

Shit like Highguard, Concord, and every other trend chasing slopshit needs to get dumpstered and their investors need to be burned fucking hard, the industry needs an 83 style crash where the faith of the consumer that their products will be remotely decent is completely erroded and even the whales stop being a sustainable business model.

I want games made by less people with smaller budgets and bigger risks instead of these lame and gay dogshit games that chatGPT could probably design a better version of. Once all the investment money dries up, all the leeches and grifters will finally get shunted out of my hobby and I can go back to playing fun games without gay shit like faggy character designs, games made worse to push cash shop slop, and games that cannibalize my favorite IPs just to make a quick buck

I have never heard of this game until now so I can only go off of this one screenshot. I don't even know what genre of video game it's supposed to be. Is it a shooter? An RPG?

Bullshit. The Zoefucker there claims that everything is great and that it's Dr Disrespect and a right wing conspiracy's fault, and that opinions should have only been left to professionals like him. The game got ONE HUNDERED thousand steam users day one, and lost NINTEY THOUSAND of them day one. It had neutral to negative reception in every language on the planet, including the ones that don't have the fuckers he bitches about.

He proves once again that he's beyond irrelevant. That an endorsement from him is a sign that I will hate the game. Even bluesky kicked him off for being an unhinged violent asshole.

Stopped reading there, lol. Given that we're talking about Highguard, there's nothing that can follow this point that isn't the exact kind of obsessed and paranoid crusader babble that was being talking about. As it stands, you clearly typed too much up, because it won't amount to anything more than

>>
>>731723850
The funny thing is that I wasn't really impacted much by everyone dunking on it to begin with. What really slammed the dislike home for me was finding out that that the "raid mode," which I assumed meant the game was going to be a hero shooter with massive battles, actually turned out to be just mindlessly mashing a whole bunch of game modes together in a 3v3 setup. Then, I tried it for myself and the dislike grew. The roaming phase is boring and takes way too long. It's heavily focused on teamplay, carry potential is low, and playing with randoms without comms already felt like a fucking chore even just within the handful of rounds that I played. The "siege" element of the game doesn't feel like a siege at all. Your siege engine is just a spawn point, and it plays out as you would would expect any attack/defense objective mode to play out. Reinforcement is a complete afterthought and has very, VERY little impact on the siege phase. Guns and heroes aren't balanced at all against each other.

The whole game feels like it made entirely with esports in mind with almost no care whatsoever put into how the everyone else (i.e., 99.999% of their playerbase) would enjoy it.

3v3 is much better for retard teammates since you still have opportunities to outplay the enemies even in groups. I've had to solo clutch multiple times during overtime and its doable since 3 players together arent an unstopable roaming death blob like they would be in 5v5 or 6v6

I've played enough TF2 and other big team games to know this is the case in all games up until you have 24v24 matches. It's just something you work around, and if you can't accept it, you switch games. That's entirely fine, and lots of people are evidently doing just that, but it's just misplaced criticism or even just ego protection to try to paint it as a fundamental flaw instead.

That's why the media changed tactics to ad hominem attack the naysayers because there is nothing good about the game.

I actually think it's pragmatic. Just finished reading the actual article. It is filled with subtext about how Youtubers, and probably independent journalists as a whole, are tricking normal people into NAZI beliefs and destroying the economy due to ragebait. That somehow, being bombarded by quirky cynical clips can control public perception so strongly, that even someone who actually plays a game themselves can have how they would've actually felt overwritten and would've otherwise enjoyed if it wasn't for those pesky NAZIs telling them what to think first. It explicitly mentions that it is the right-wing(not even extremes of far right, just the entirety and exclusively the right-wing) that is the problem.

The only value I got from this article is that the developer made Apex Legends and left EA to be a high budget indie and be able to do his own thing. I didn't know that and I feel a bit bad about that now. But the game still seems like complete garbage to me. And also to be fair, the article mentions that live service fatigued probably harmed the game more than anything and mentioned that game reviews by their peers have said the game is mid.

The hell is this cope? Apex Legends just came out like 7 years ago and /v/ was shitposting that shit too.
Fuck, people were shitposting the fuck out of the new Battlefield and that was a huge success.

This retard has the cause and effect wrong. The reason why everyone pounced on this shit was because it was obviously a ridiculous generic game to have as the last reveal of a TGA that was unlikely to move anyone (Other than Geoff, apparently).
I'm not saying the communities aren't toxic and shit, but giving shitposts responsibility for a boring game flopping is retarded.

And besides, nothing prevents Highguard from getting muh engoodening. It already has eyeballs on it, it seems like it was originally planned to launch without any hype, so really, what they got right now is a more advantageous position than they would have if they just dropped this pile of shit on the floor without anyone noticing. Just patch whatever people complain about, keep at it, and watch as people that heard about it come flocking back. Gamers still love underdog stories.
>>
>>731736073
Exactly

thing is, the moment Dice devs jumped ship to start Embark you already had a hardcore fanbase who followed them. Respawn never had that, they shit all over the Titanfall fanbase by making Apex, and then shit on them some more with their Star Wars bullshit. If anything they had anti-fans. So when they announced Highguard they already had negative momentum.

If NMS did, this can. NMS never actually improved any of its fundamental design flaws and that game straight up lied about everything. Pigs eat the slop.
The most important thing is getting eyeballs. This is a huge story that gave it some noteworthiness and it's on them to capitalize on that. And unlike Concord, they didn't sink a bajillion dollars into it already so they're still in time of pulling the ship up.

Well, I didn't know the game was free, but that doesn't matter. People who downloaded the game on Steam, installed it on their computers, and played it are still consumers.
Journalists have tried several times to delegitimize consumer criticism. It's not the first time, and it won't be the last. Just click on Steam and you'll have access to the reviews, and you only need to read their content to see that journalists are being extremely dishonest. They are literally lobbyists who are on the side of corporations and hate consumers, especially video game consumers.

Honestly, the game is actually pretty neat, but marketing is everything and even beyond that it has a couple core flaws that would've made it die no matter what.

If not for those, it probably could've done alright. It's not bad at all, it's just dull and handicaps any interest it could've had by being boring to play thanks to the overly small team sizes and boring to look at thanks to the artstyle.

In fact, just take a quick look at the most recent reviews to clearly see the problems consumers are having with the product:
>poor performance
>a map that is too large for the number of players
>a game that in its current state is simply boring.

But none of that matters. Journalists, industry lobbyists, understand that Steam gives too power to consumers, and since it's not possible to simply censor this information (perhaps it would be if Steam were a public company, where large corporations could buy shares and start dictating their interests), they are using the strategy of delegitimizing consumers, saying that they are just blindly following YouTube "grifters".
It's the Internet's fault, and if you doubt that, you're a Nazi!

Ultimately, the goal is to remove user reviews from Steam. They won't be able to do that in the short term, so they need to create the illusion in the minds of the masses that they shouldn't take reviews seriously. And they will use their power of influence to do so.

I think it has more to do that the ultimate weapon of left-wing politics is that women and troon NEETs are extremely passionate about "fighting the good fight" and work as close to 24/7 as humanly possible without literally dying from lack of sleep, to congregate, brown nose, and worm their way into all forms of moderation across every forum, every website, every chatroom, every fan group, in everything, everywhere all over the Internet, and coordinate mass gatekeeping of everyone who is even slightly right-of-center. So when anyone who is even remotely right-wing, which is still at least half the entire population, finally, FINALLY have a mainstream website they are allowed to express themselves, it is all hyper concentrated because a small but hyper-dedicated subgroup of far-leftists had thoroughly co-opted all other possible online spaces and turned them into leftist mono culture. 4chan's /trash/ is literally the only public forum I know where you can safely share right wing furry memes and not risk being massed banned from all furry websites + RL spaces at the same time.

I am sorry, anon, I am a gay furfag liberal. But by today's standards, I am a literal NAZI because I call out transexualism as quack science and the perfect example of capitalism going too far with putting profit ahead of human lives and decency. I have actually gotten in trouble for telling someone I am not interested in referring to their character with they/them pronouns and asking what is the point of them being a trans male instead of just a male on a website about having pretend sex, and getting blasted as a bigot who wanted to kill them for the crime of having preferences and net letting them shame me into having pretend sex with them.
All I wanted was to have a job that paid decently enough for me to live on my own with enough money and time left over for vidya and furfag shot, but now I am almost hoping for an actual conservative culture return so I don't become homeless and get killed by third world invaders IRL. My computer software and Linux is also being destroyed by this shit too where IBM is co-opting Linux by destroying major components and the communities are ran by karens and troons who try to hard code compatibility issues on purpose with non-IBM alternatives (e.g. The Wayland vs Xlibre battles.) The Skyrim modding community is also affected as well.

Real talk the past 10 years or so has been getting me into religion. The past few years alone as been accelerating it. I assume you are at least half memeing about being a Christian. So depending on how serious or not you feel about this I am sorry
I feel that Christianity is not, in fact, a Jewish (or Roman) plot to tame the masses. But I have rejected the entire legacy of Abraham in of itself and that Christianity is still "slave morality." Far-leftism is in fact the final evolution of Christianity but with the actual theist beliefs removed.
I am not even looking into any western or manly pagan religions either. I have felt the strongest connections when I read Eastern Philosophies, particularly Taoism and Confucianism.
My cope is that their ideas are so retarded that they will just kill themselves anyway even if they "win." And then in another 100-300 years from now this era will be looked back by the new generation of retards who will rewrite and downplay what happened as "not real Communism."

>I assume you are at least half memeing about being a Christian. So depending on how serious or not you feel about this I am sorry
I absolutely am a Christian, and I do take it very seriously.

And I have been there with thinking Christianity is a Jewish plot. At the end of the day, all of that is to lead you astray. Jews hate Christ and have been cursed ever since. I do not think we should hate them though. I think we should pray for them and show them love, as hard as that can be. God chose Abraham and the Jews, because there is something magical about them. They are a holy people with great capacity for pleasing God. Unfortunately, that proclivity has been twisted into the devil using them as his chosen people. That is what the devil does, inversion.

As for the slave morality, I have been there too. The biggest slave morality is giving into the desires that Satan tempts us with to destroy us. Following God is liberation and freedom from sin. Evil people are the biggest slaves there are.

If you pray to God and come to him like a child, he will answer. And when he does, it completely changes your life, and you realize just how much you have allowed evil to gnaw away at your soul.

They absolutely are, and God chose them for a reason. We should show them love, and we should be Christlike in our approach towards them rather than give in to hatred and wrath. I feel sad for them rather than hate them because I want them to be saved. Satan puppets them around doing evil, but he also puppets us around in hatred of them for the evil he tempted them with in the first place. The only winner at the end of it all is the devil, if we do not act as we are called to by God. Hate just begets more hate.

What if this was all a 4D chess move by Geoff? Maybe he's as sick of seeing all these shitty slop hero shooters as everyone else, and he chose Highguard as a sacrificial lamb. Its failure is so widespread and public that it will discourage any other small to medium sized studios from wasting their lives making something that is virtually guaranteed to fail.

You are mistaken if you think failing 10000000 times will deter a libtard from doing the same exact thing. There will be many more Concords and Highguards coming.
