It's honestly just bland and offers nothing different to the genre, despite mashing 3 game modes from other popular competitive games. It doesn't help that they used a mystery meat character as the face of the game.

My thoughts:

Pros:
>Gunplay is great
>Movement is really good
>3v3s are fun and take thought/skill
> I like the concept of fighting for OBJ in wide open space and then planting bombs in close range combat
>Legends feel well balanced and different compared to combos are viable
>Looting phase is fairly short and helps w upgrades to guns/armor/saddle etc for advantages in 3v3

I don’t understand all the hate so far… This game is great at its core and can be a heavy hitter with just a few minor fixes. I firmly believe this game has potential to be magnificent and yesterday was my first time playing it… this is a banger!

They unironically needed to shadow drop it as originally intended, ever since the announcement they weren't able to manage expectations for the game because they had their marketing set already.

Also, the game isn't that great unless you're running a premade full of sweats, and it has 0 appeal for casual players that make up the bulk of f2p games.

No the mining sucks and what makes it even worse is the trader sells gear tiers above the current round.
After the first Attack/Defense phase the trader carries mostly purple gear which is expensive but you can basically ignore the looting phase once you got all purples and go all in on offense.
Sure you can ignore mining but then you're leaving everything up to chance while the merchant has guaranteed loot options.
Personally I don't like it, if a person decides to mine instead of engaging in combat for the first 2 minutes they can have high tier loot compared to if you spent all game looking and relying on RNG.

It's a 3v3 hero shooter where you have to run across maps that are the size of an Olympic village on mounts until you find each other to shoot. From the gameplay I've seen of various people reviewing it the TTK is borderline instant for the sniper character while everyone else kills in one or two seconds. The characters are also bland mystery meat creations with no appealing designs at all. Their unique movesets are extremely bland outside of the mystery meat lightning spear thrower. Most people I've seen say the shooting itself actually feels fine which is what they expected from the Titanfall and Apex Legends devs, but there's just nothing there to enjoy.

They made a game that looks like it was designed by corporate, no one really played it for even five seconds to realize "Wow, this game does not make sense at 3v3 at all, it's 8v8 bare minimum", and then they zoned in on trying to immediately monetize it over addressing basic issues you could see from the onset. They're also gonna be going for a ranked mode in a few months apparently so I'm sure that's going to appeal to the 1% of people who even care when not even the casual fanbase really wants to touch it for more than a few minutes.

People already have Marvel Rivals as their new F2P hero shooter. They're continually trying to get into a market that requires insane amounts of dumb luck and perfect timing to succeed in which is why Marvel Rivals is like the only one since Overwatch 2 to succeed.
>>
>>731765190
Yep, you are a lunatic
>>
>>731763678
Both. They took working mechanics from other franchises, mashed them together, and then didn't know what to do with the end result. It's just boring, and the 3v3 is a godawful design choice the devs claim is a learning curve, but in actuality their choice to merge 3 different game modes in to one led matches to be 2+ hours long when tested at 8v8. The entire core strategy of the game is to ignore objectives and kill the enemy team until they're out of respawns, then do objectives, rinse and repeat. They wanted mounts, so they made fuckhuge map sizes, but then put all the objectives extremely close together, so the mount ends up being fucking worthless unless you're respawning. Geoff also fucked it by overhyping the shit out of it and only ever retweeting or responding to things acting like it'd be 10/10 next GotY, knowing full well the game was mediocre at best. Had it not been shown at the VGAs as the last spot, and just tossed in normally, it'd probably have had better reception. If Geoff didn't go around posting snarky shit on twitter, it'd have had better reception.

Day 2 of HighGuard felt hella different. Playing against people who know how to play mad egg games more involved too. We were fighting in the looting phase, before the shield breaker while the barrier was going down on the base. Like nonstop action. This game for sure doesn’t need more than 4v4 and honestly 3v3 is fine. The map does need more loot and variety though. Either way you can tell a lot of people day one didn’t really get into th gameplay lol before shutting it down. But once you use to it, the games are hella fun

I think I was one of the few people who, when this game was announced at the Game Awards, actually had a little bit of hype/hope. At the time, I didn't even know why. At first, I thought it was going to be a Valorant-type game, and me being a console player who used to play Valorant on my laptop (and liked it), my expectations were like: "Oh okay, it's going to be a copycat of Valorant, but at least it's on console." Because honestly, in the trailer, it looked really similar.

I have played a couple of hours, and honestly, the game is good. I might be a little bit biased because the game mixes my favorite genres, as I mentioned, but man, I really like this game: the combat, the objective of the raids. However, it also has flaws. I think the biggest one is definitely 3v3. It doesn't feel bad, but 3v3 is a small number, in my opinion, for this big of a game. For me, who plays with friends almost every day in quads or even more people, it's going to be hard to play the game when you are constantly playing with more than two people. The map is really big, and I think four or even five players can be included. Then there's the pace. Personally, I don't have any issues with it, but I can understand people who might not like it. The looting phase is a little boring sometimes, and the preparation phase also takes a little bit too long. If we add that the combat is actually fast, it might confuse some people.

Overall, I really liked the game. It's not perfect; it's not an Overwatch 1-level release, but it has potential and, most importantly, SOUL. It feels like its own game, and it is just FUN.

what did highguard do that was so egregious to earn the ire of /v/?
>>
>>731765639
>nonstop action
Because you literally cannot do the objectives with the other team alive in a 3v3 format. The meta is to straight up zerg rush the enemy until they have no respawns left. Only then are you allowed to do the actual objectives of the game for the 30 seconds it takes to do them before shifting modes and you're forced to zerg the enemy again.

If you need to reduce the game from 6v6 to 3v3 because the matches became hours long and it isn't 'fun', the issue is the fucking core game design, not the team member count. Now you're still stuck with the same problem. A small team size can't do the objectives because splitting up is suicide. The objectives become worthless until everyone is dead. Then when everyone is dead and you can finally do them, they're over in under a minute. It's not fun. There's no fighting over the resources. It's just spawncamp simulator 2026.

I don’t get the hate, I really don’t. I watched some gameplay and decided to ignore the hate and give this game a go, and I’m having a lot of fun. I’ve only done solo queue so far and it’s been great. Looking at the negative reviews, most people have under 2 hours of gameplay, absolutely insane. I want to get my friends to play this but those negative reviews are scaring them away.

We’re all adults with responsibilities, so we choose our free time sparingly for games we know we will enjoy. So seeing that much negativity on a game that doesn’t fully deserve it makes it hard for me to justify and ask them to spend their time trying this game. We recently got burned by New world because that game basically shut down (shutting down in 2027), so skepticism is at an all time high, it’s looking like this game will die soon judging from the massive wave of hate.

I understand the game has problems, but it’s a free game and a live service so patches will fix a lot of optimization issues in the near future… I personally don’t have any issues with performance but I know many do. Otherwise the gameplay is solid. It’s insane people are wishing death of the game studio and just pouring out pure hate into their reviews without much experience playing the game. You can tell the devs are really trying to do something here, they have a solid product. It’s just sad. Anyways just needed to vent, phew.

It was the surprise final reveal at the 2025 game awards. The reveal trailer looked like generic DEI slop. The devs went radio silent for a month. Game releases. It's not DEI slop, it's just generic slop that has zero identity because it's not doing anything original, runs like shit even on extremely high end PCs, and is just boring. It was hyped up to be a massive sleeper success like Apex (that had good reception with a shadowdrop) as well as having everything and more that made titanfall great, and it was none of that. So much so that the devs removed every single video and marketing material that boasted, "Made by the developers of Apex Legends and Titanfall" and edited the store pages to remove any reference to apex and titanfall.

It's unironically just a mediocre product people are laughing at for being bad, like they predicted, and watching the paid shills try to sell everyone a pile of shit with a product tag that insists it's actually made of solid gold, even though everyone can see it's shit, smell it's shit, and poke it to discover that it is, in fact, shit; with the merchants trying to pass it off as gold go on autistic tantrums saying everyone is wrong and someone would love their pile of totally legitimate gold if only people didn't pay attention to the fact that it's shit.

It would make it better at the expense of longer game lengths. Because no matter how many players you have, if the core game design is an amalgamation of multiple game mechanics that only work as a standalone mechanic, it won't suddenly make them seamlessly integrate and just werk. It's clear the devs have an insane lack of vision or direction for the game. They wanted to take a slice of everyone else's cake, stick them together, and then claim theirs is best. But what they got was a mix of cake slices with no way for everyone to enjoy the same slice of cake at the same time.

There's absolutely nothing interesting about it and the main issue is that it was shilled as fuck as if it was god's gift on the last slot at TGA, then Geoff and every other "journalist" go on the usual "if you don't like it you're just a hater" bullshit.

The same thing can be said about streamers. Assmongler played it non sponsored and had more people watch him give an honest opinion of the game than the game had in concurrent players at the time of streaming. All of the paid streamers immediately quit playing it once their sponsored segments were up, because the game wasn't fun. That says more to the average normie than sitting down and spending the time reading through reviews or looking at a player count chart.

It's another bland hero shooter in a sea of bland hero shooters that had a ridiculous amount of money invested into it with clearly talented developers wasting their time doing it. Pair this with the fact that the character designs are all terrible and can be seen just by opening your eyeballs and it being the closing game for the TGAs and you can understand why it's got eyeballs on it.

If it was placed in the middle of the TGAs it would have flopped immediately and no one would have bat an eye but because it was the show closer it has significantly more eyeballs laughing at it than it ever should have had.

Also if you fast I would suggest fasting this site as well for a good week and it does a lot of negatives to all of us. I could feel my life returning slowly when this site was done for that one month

I've already said it in a previous thread, making the game all segmented into reinforcement phase/loot and excalibur phase/raid phase is retarded. Have 12 or even 16 player in each team, remove the dumbass wall reinforcement phase, then while the sword allows you to bypass the other base's shield faster it should also be possible to damage it with wall breaking tools to create smaller breaches for sneaky pushes, and you can still attack while your base is breached. Bomb timers on objectives never reset, so even if your bomb gets defused in 5 seconds you'll still be making progress. Then you also add defenses you can place at your base and suddenly the game is fun. Alas, new shooters aren't allowed to have more than 5 players in each team because it makes it harder to have an artificial esport scene around it

It's just more slop, is all. It hasn't really done anything particularly offensive, it's just another one on the pile which makes it easy to dunk on but what propelled it into Concord 2 status was premiering at the end of the pop culture awards.

I'm pretty sure if this was shadow dropped no one would play it.

It's always the same stupid shit too where there's a ton of currencies and bundles of the most generic skins you'll ever see that cost $20
>>
>>731767601
>you could tell there was a good foundation
am I crazy? Highguard has a really great foundation imo, they've "found the fun" as it were. The only issue is that the playercount for each match is too low, 3v3 should've never been the main game mode, or if they're adamant about it the map should've been shrunken down. Also only having the one game mode was a huge gamble that as of now hasn't paid off.

The foundation/fundamentals are there though, the gunplay first and foremost is satisfying and snappy, the movement is fluid, and the actual raids (where the arena is traditional deathmatch-sized) are actually fun. The slog of getting prepared, grabbing the sword and sticking it in the gate to actually get to the "fun" part is the issue. They felt like the game needed that downtime to make the raids more exciting, but absolutely missed the mark.

With a few tweaks, additional game modes/characters/maps, and some QoL it'll be in a good place. I give it 3-6 months until the engoodening starts to bare fruit
>>
>>731763678
>is the game actually bad or they really got fucked by keighley
It had like 98k players at peak, and 80%+ quit the game within a day or two. That should tell you enough, if the game is bad or not.
>>
>>731767751
I think the reason the game is 3v3 which is such a random number and shit for the big maps is because it is so poorly programmed that they can't do more but probably wanted more originally.

hell, they could've gotten away with the map size if they gave your team more shit to do other than grab lootboxes and mine crystals. Them not having some traditional moba elements like mobs in contested zones they can fight to get better gear (or just other incentives to engage the other team prior to the shieldbreaker spawning) was a huge mistake

It is an incredibly mediocre looking, corporate focus-tested bland thing that got put as the big, final announcement at the game awards. There was no reason that this boring shit thats chasing trends which were old when it already started development should've gotten such a big marketing piece so now its going to be used as another focus point in the general AAA hate train. But now that retards and paid marketers have come out to defend it there's now a point of principle to shitting on it actively instead of just letting it quietly wallow in EOS

Maybe they could've had some guaranteed purple/gold loot boxes close to the enemy base during the gear up phase, which could incentivize a group to beeline towards the other team, being at a gear disadvantage in the short term, but if they're skilled enough to take them out they could grab much better gear than was was available otherwise.

Some sort of additional risk/reward system would've been so effective
>>
The game's genre is genuinely one of the hardest things to define. It has MOBA, Battle Royale, Siege elements.
But then doesn't commit to any of them to actually make those elements FUN.
No MOBA minions/creeps, a really short resource gathering phase from BR and a 3v3 "siege" mode on a big bunker.
Perplexing.

Game devs are you listening? You want to make a billion dollars. Make an asynchronous 1 vs 4 game like dead by daylight only base it off the Home Alone IP. One person plays Kevin or the not Kevins from the sequels (skins you can sell)and the 4 bandits can be all the bandits across all the movies I think there are like 8 at least. 1 guy plays as Kevin fighting the 4 thieves with traps as they try to capture him. Easy billion dollars if done right
>>
>>731768003
Dozens of executives right now are guaranteed to be trying to chase that trend. Funniest thing is if they actually made a reasonable dev cycle and got it out within the year it'd probably sell well but instead shit takes half a decade just to start. By the time their 200 million dollar Mario & Luigi clone comes out it'd already be old hat and worse than 4 different indie ripoffs that came out several years prior

this whole aspect of the game feels half baked. The action is good, great even. It wants to have MOBA-lite elements but it's so lite as to be pointless. Also, the whole Siege-esque base reinforcing is also inconsequential, you fortify a few walls and they just end up going somewhere else. It needs more stuff, like placeable traps or turrents

Why do they love using blast so much. I unironically never hear anyone talking about actual popular games like E33, Elden Ring, BG3 say that they had a blast.

Right-wing sloptubers have repeatedly harnessed this energy to feed their endless culture wars, claiming that diversity is the reason these games fail. More than that, they want them to fail; they approach the prospect with a sort of knives-out glee. All of it fits their narrative that even with hundreds of thousands or millions of followers, they are the brave little guy(s) speaking truth to power amid an industry of shill-happy journalists and agenda-pushing developers. Within this framework, there is room to advance conspiracies, to present the industry as a series of shadowy cabals working against The Common Gamer (rather than a series of out-in-the-open cabals working against everyone except themselves).

It's not Keighley's fault at all, he and the controversy are the only reason it had 90,000 CCU to lose. If it'd just been announced in the middle of the event it would have been a forgotten nothingburger.

It's like Kagurabachi. Everyone memed on it and it became a huge thing all over Twitter, Reddit and 4chan, then people read it and went "Wait, this is actually really good!" So now it's doing amazingly.

To be fair though, Titanfall 2 and Apex wasn't that long ago.
But I might be getting old. The people who formed this company did work there and quite a few had high positions.
The main problem seems to have been that they wanted to implement most of the ideas they came up with, resulting in the mess that we see right now.
They did make the guns feel good and it does feel AAA, but the gameplay loop is just bad. Maybe it's a blessing that EA has never allowed them to make a Titanfall 3.

The interesting thing to me regarding this game is the industry narrative that formed in the last 15 or so years of "corporations vs free artists".
This narrative implies that only free artists can create something genuine while corporations only chase trends and money.

So these devs flee the greedy authoritarian EA to make their passion project free from the shackles of pleasing investors, following growth strategies and obeying marketing researhs.
And what do they make? The most trend chasing corpo approved Frankenstein's monster of modern gaming. A monster that is made out of bits of Apex, Rust, Halo, RS6S and Counter-Strike with no identity or personality of its own.
And there's nothing wrong with taking inspiration from somewhere else. DRG was inspired by L4D and Minecraft, Dishonored was inspired by Thief and Deus Ex, Dead Space was inspired by System Shock and Resident Evil and so on. And all of these have strong identities, they commit to their themes and ideas. Highguard on other hand, the game that is supposedly was made out of pure passion by auters is the most safe and bland product (not even a game) seemingly designed by corpo-suits completely detached from the gaming world.

If you'd continued reading, you'd have seen the coldly calculated aspect being referred to is the F2P microtransaction elements. It's got all the usual shit; the dizzying number of ingame currencies to mask the fact you're spending real money, the hard caps on free stuff, the endless slew of cosmetics and FOMO battle passes to come.

It's all just so tiresome.

>>731770652
If by DOTA-like you mean a game where you've also got constant streams of NPC units making their way to the opposing side, then no. It's strictly 3 dudes fighting 3 dudes on an otherwise empty map. It's a genuinely mindblowing stupid design decision because even if the game wasn't swiftly dying and hundreds of thousands of people were playing, every match would feel like you're just playing a dead game purely because the levels seem like they were intended for large scale fights as opposed to 3v3.

Sounds like all they need to do is work on the servers and make it 5v5 instead of 3v3 and it would be a perfectly acceptable 6/10

I personally played it hoping it would be good, but I dropped it after two matches. Would've probably kept playing if it was a more casual experience and not some 3v3 slop, the only game I'm willing to tryhard in is DotA/LoL and that's because the entire genre is built like that.

I think they see another small bump with the ranked mode patch, but I can't foresee anyone really sticking with this game. The problems are insanely numerous and go down to the core of the gameplay design.

It's absolutely bizarre.
The game is 3v3, yet the maps are massive, there's insane downtime between action after a raid that feels unnecessary. The mouse movement feels odd, and the game looks oddly blurry for some reason. The gunplay feels pretty good on its own, but the aforementioned weird blurryness and mousefeel mucks with it a bit.
The actual objectives are fun enough, and the base reinforcing isn't unfun desu, but it's the time inbetween all these things that feels retarded, because a game can either be 7 mins or literally 30 minutes, and it's retarded.
ALSO
the bases have generators you have to plant on, which take 30 sec to blow, but also an anchor stone that's relatively easy to get to that takes 60 seconds to blow. IF you blow the anchor stone, the game ends right there and you win/lose. Does the full damage to the base.
Since it's only a 30 second more defend, it feels pretty easy to pull off and means if you're not going for it, you're leaving yourself open to getting your anchor blown if they succeed a raid, meaning your raid meant nothing. Also matches can end in almost standstill that go 30 where no one plants and both teams bases get down to 10 hp, in which next team to initiate raid just wins.
That's fun, but the fact it takes THIRTY MINUTES to get there is insanity. I kind of expected the game to have a shot at being decent since they showed nothing, but...

It's honestly so retarded.

incredibly mediocre
doesn't do anything particularly standout, just bland and inoffensive all around and 3v3 is a weird-ass choice for this kind of game
this guy >>731764690 is also right in that while it got a huge boost because of Geoff shilling it, losing almost it's entire day 1 playerbase is all on the game itself, it's a serviceable game that functions but that genuinely just does not cut it when people have way better options
