Heh, nothing personnel (because they'll lose them all)

>>731763414New update?
The two people on top of me are getting sodomizedAlso game is woke
>>731763414is the game actually bad or they really got fucked by keighley
>>731763643Nothing showing up on the patches, it's just dying.
ONENOTHING WRONG WITH ME
ITS ALL DRDISRESPECTS FAULT HAD HE NOT TWEETED HE WAS INVITED TO THE SHOWCASE THE GAME WOULD HAVE BEEN A HUGE SUCCESS
>>731763678Both, it's a massive map but 3v3 is probably the main issue. But there's tons of problems about the game itself.
>>731763678It'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.
>>731763414It's fine. I'm sure they made a lot of money on that 97000 sales.
>>731763414Highguard?More like Flatline lmao
>>731763414So, Scarlet Mara Condor Una Slade Kai Atticas or Redmane ?
Why did they add pve mining to this pvp shooter?
>>731763414kek based imagine losing 80% of the players in one day. Must be a new record. I have never seen that before.
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 3v3I 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!
>>731764115You forgot to say you're having a blast
>>731764115You're too optimistic, but you're not lying. Highguard is redeemable.>Devs removed the "from the makers of Apex Legends & Titanfall" from SteamIt's over. No redemption. Concord 2.
>>731763414>>731763520insane chart
>>731763678They 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.
>97kRespectable numbers. I don't get the doomposting. They'll go back up once USA wakes up.
Imagine how many homeless people they could have purchased homes for instead of making this gay shit. What a colossal waste of time and money.
>>731763414Wardens... not like this...
>>731763678It had 90000 players and hemorrhaged 90% of them. There's nothing keighley could say or do that would cause a game to lose 90% of its players within 24 fucking hours. That is 100% a game problem.
the mining is radical!!! There's nothing like this in video games!
>>731764690the board makes a lot more sense when you realize 75% of the posters suffer from mild schizophrenia
>>731764690>That is 100% a game problem.When Sparking Zero lost 90% of its PAYING players, people accepted that the game just wasn't that goodWhen Highguard loses players it's suddenly the fault of Keighley, internet haters, grifters, etc.
>>731763414>Less players than L4D2How?
>>731764450that was on launch daylook at the 24 hour peak, it's not going back up to 90k or even 30k
>>731764871>that was on launch daylmao not evenit was on launch hourthe game bled 80k players within 1 hour after launch and never recovered
>>731764767the reverb you hear is because there are no other players or environment to reflect the sound off of.
>>731764767Bro, this is literally the innovation FPS was lacking. QTE events! I'm loving it right now.
>>731764767No 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.
>>731763904To be like Fortnite. Every major gameplay mechanic in this game exists because it's from x popular game
>>731763765>mystery meatHE’S ITALIAN, YOU BIGOTED LIME
geoff status?
>>731763678Its bland DEI uninspired corpo slop that streamers were paid to play for two hours, and then the player base abandoned it soon after. Playing it can best be compared to accidently stepping in shit and getting it on your shoe.
>>731765057Highguard on copium
>>731765057Euphoric.
>>731764115we've been through this alreadydo better
PATIENCE HIGHGUARDIANS!! THE ENGOODENING CONTINUES
>>731764976I love spending the first 2-3 minutes of each round reinforcing 5 walls and mining crystals. Truly this is what other hero shooters like Overwatch lack. A bigass empty map and having 2-3 minutes of downtime before each round
>>731763992The chart threads watching the number go down as everyone dabbed on it was one of the best experiences I have ever had on /v/
>>731764690this. If it had shadowdropped like they intended it to, it would've peaked at 9k and hemorrhaged 90% of them. If anything Geoff did them a massive favor
>>731765157Fucking die tortanic fashpig hetfag cist
>>731765117joff-sama...
>>731763414still better numbers than flopcord
>>731763678It'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.
>>731765190Yep, you are a lunatic
>>731763678Both. 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.
>>731763414>97k retards with secure boot enabled>for geoff's friends' game lol
>>731763808Holy shit
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
>>731763575stop with these obvious retarded astroturfed posts. Your marketing team is retarded.
>>731765639geoff go to bed
>>731765639I think it would do better with 2v2, actually even 1v1. In fact I'd go further and say 0.5x0.5!
>>731763808The funny or sad part is that high guard wasnt even in the top 80 sellers on steam yesterday. It was like top 90. After all why buy skins for a game youre not even gonna play for long?
>>731765732i dont think theres that many midget gamers out there
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.
>>731765732>The two wolves inside you duking it out in HighguardBased
>>731765764There's probably more than the current playerbase, I'd say it's sustainable to target them, they should retool their game for midget gamers.
i'm out of the loopwhat did highguard do that was so egregious to earn the ire of /v/?
>>731765639>nonstop actionBecause 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.
>>731765846The character that's the face of the game is mystery meat with a zoomer haircut, don't think anyones even played it
>>731765846Anons are just chasing that high they got during the whole Concord debacle
>>731765846It's the "current thing" of this week and all the streamers are talking about it, so /v/edditors will follow them.
>>731765905And we're getting it lmao
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.
>>731763414WHAT GOES HIGH MUST GO LOWHERE MY SALES WILL NEVER GROW
>>731765649he's obviously joking you fucking autist
>>731765846Get the most important spot at the vga, where people expected major annoucements, to get another bland ass live service hero shooter that's gonna shut down in less than a year.
>>731765846Anon, look at the characters and then you tell me.
>>731765649Jfc why do browns on /v/ take every lighthearted shitpost so fucking seriously

>>731764838L4D gameplay wasn't designed by AI
>>731765846People are so miserable and jaded they only get dopamine from outrage nowadays. The game is just meh, but freaks spent entire month circling it like vultures just to get that sweet dopamine hit from seeing it fail. I blame social media, it's genuinely evil. The algorithm is the antichrist, it corrupted and mind raped entire generation.
>>731766046It's Concord 2. That's all you need to know.
its over
>>731765953It's simple: being a hater is fun....it also helps that Titanfall fans are man-children that despise anything Respawn or former Respawn devs work on that isn't Titanfall. Geoff REALLY fucked the game by mentioning the devs are former Respawn employees.
>>731766067Those fucks made me stay up to 5am to see the final product and then shat out that. Fuck them, fuck Geoff.
>>731766046They dont need to. Thats how bland and gay they are. Its self evident
>>731765953Reddit.com
>>731765846It 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.
I dont think making the game with a larger teamsize would make it any better.This is the type of game you run around holding your teammates cock, increasing the players on a team will just make this even worse
>>731763414>less than 20% of players came back for second dayyall nazis
G-guys???
>>731765846Calling a game Concord 2 is funny
>>731765846It's a completely soulless corporate product that only the most negrified of cattle could possibly enjoy.
>>731766310we also have 2 more concords on the horizon
>>731766303Americans are sleeping.
>>731766317Speaking of the blacks I noticed every game that collectively we see as being shit has black people who try to be the main streamers of the game and try really hard for a week or two to trick people into thinking the game is better than it is. Saw it with the Avengers game and Suicide Squad
>>731766303it's 4 in the morning anon, relax god I hate insomnia please god let me get some sleep release me from this prison
>>731766247It 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.
>>731765117>everyone hates muppet segments in TGA, does it anyway because he likes it>everyone cringes at his Kojima glazing, does it anyway, because he likes it>everyone hates the game he enjoyed, promotes it and doubles down anyway, because he likes it>next TGA will break viewership records again anywayGeoff is unironically based; he just does not give a shit anymore.

If not for than then it would've been glossed over just like everything else shown at TGA that people didn't really have an interest in.Just don't claim you're the best thing this century when you're obviously not, and people won't prove you otherwise.

I'm glad steamchart is a thing. back in the day, a company could lie for months about how amazing they did, only to leak internal documents that they were failingnow we get to see it in real time.
>>731766554it's also a weapon we wield that we spam everywhere and it causes normies to not even bother playing a game
>>731766597Good, we should endeavour to make the world a better place, if my shitposting protects normies then I'm doing my part.
>>731766554but i do miss randomly waking up and seeing "THQ bankrupt" on a tuesday out of the fucking blue
>>731766597The 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.
>>731763414I feel bad for all the trannies that had to pretend to enjoy this game and stay logged in so it looked like people were having fun. At least they almost proved asmongold and grummz wrong, almost...
AAAIIIIIIIIIIIEEE
>>731763678The game is fine, nothing more nothing less. Without Geoff shilling it it would have been dead on arrival, but now you have people try it out to experience the trainwreck, with some of them sticking around because "it's fun but janky"
>>731766773Flopguard
>>731766773CRAWLING IN MY SKIIIIN
>>731766067>People are so miserable and jaded they only get dopamine from outrage nowadaysIt used to be that if you spent enough time online you learned not to fall for bait. These days not only does this not happen, you make your entire identity about how much you love falling for bait, circlejerk with others about how fucking fuming angry the bait makes you, and go watch streamers getting angry at the bait for hours.I wonder what changed.
>>731766554Thats the best part. It totally cucks their ability to deceive.
>>731766458>feigning ignorance about liking corposlop fps >promotes it on primetime TV >it bombs>singlehandedly kills the genreI kneel
>>731765846It'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.>>731766413>He only has insomnia.Now try that with a sleep schedule you cannot correct even with prescription sleep medication to try and fix it. I just woke up like two hours ago and I haven't woken up at 7am or 8am for more than three days straight since I was seven. I can't even take OTC sleeping pills because I start to hallucinate (Plus they don't work anyway).
>>731765846It's a hero shooter releasing way to late to the party and it looks like the example you'd give to explain what "design by committee" means.Still, having a blast

>>731764913>the reverb you hear is because there are no other playersDamn
>>731767062
>>731766452I'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
>>731767062It has never been more over. Its embarrassing to keep the game up ag this point.
>>731765846It'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.

yea yea yea yuck it up while you can, you losers are gonna be the first people in line saying how "I believed in Highguard the entire time, I never hopped on the hate train" when the engoodening is complete. It's gonna be No Man's Sky on steroids, just you wait
>>731767062Tumbling down, tumbling down, tumbling dooooown.
Well I guess I will say it again.The game could have been fun if it had bigger team sizes.They should have released this in like an early access or beta.Also added better movement and titans.
>>731767519>It's gonna be No Man's SkyI know you are trolling but to anyone that seriously thinks this way the reason why NMS and Cyberpunk came back is because you could tell there was a good foundation just shit bugs and little content here the foundation is shit. There is no coming back. You can't polish this turd.
blasthavers...
I think if Resident Evil under-performs next month then there are bigger issues going on here than this simply being a shit game

>>731763678>>731764428I'm pretty sure if this was shadow dropped no one would play it. I see shitty looking esports wannabe games get shilled by streamers all the time and this one looks just like that, games like supervive, or that team based dragon pvp game. 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 foundationam 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 keighleyIt 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.
>>731767751I 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.
>>731764690Good point. People did give it a chance, so its on the game.
>>731766514She eats her pan very fast desu
>>731767809I remember the trailer having creeps/minions can be shot, so those things were cut out as well?
>>731767809hell, 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
>>731767889Maybe but they have a road map with new content being promised so who knows
>>731764450Probs better return on investment too
>>731767751>3-6 monthsWho the fuck is still going to be around to play it then? It's already sub 10k.
>>731766514
>>731767889>having creeps/minions can be shotno way they cut the fun, please find this
How many out of touch CEOs are watching these games crash and saying "ok what we need is a hero shooter but put in mechanics from Expedition 33 since that did well. I don't care if that doesn't make sense do it!"
>>731766871except they can get a few thousand bots to log in so the player base is always actually lower than it says especially with something like this
>>731765846It 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
>>731764767>>731764976You're making this stuff up, right? What is this game? No wonder they couldn't pitch it for shit
>>731766303westcoastians just finished digesting their midnight snack
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.
>>731763414Reminder: Mr. Goldstein and his investor buddies don’t care if this shit bombs. They invest in dozens of games like this. As long as one of them becomes the next Fortnite, they win.
>>731765846It's the definition of slop. It's basically what ChatGPT would spit out if asked to roleplay an AAA game designer.
>>731767990It seems I misremembered shit since it was from the reveal trailer, but it shows they killed 4 characters in one shot. https://www.youtub .com/watch?v=rh6Pi6h_css
>>731768097How does it have MOBA elements?
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
>>731768003Dozens 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
>>731768198*one shot eachThat's why I confused them for creeps/minions.
>>731768212the in match shop, the enemy nexus has a HP bar, mounts (they are in dota2) and resource gatheringparts of it were clearly MOBA inspired
Status of blast having?
>>731768334I hope this is the final nail in the coffin for the "by the creators of x" meme
>>731768381Can't wait to see this guy to get ass blasted by>From the Creator of Guy Games
>>731768381>By the creators of Concord and Highguard: A new breed of MOBA
then there is 1 guy from r6s as well>>731768381>>731768334I mean it wasn't wrong, 67 guys from Apex and 26 results for Titanfall.They know how to make a gun go pew pew really good, but don't know how to design a game.
>>731763678By new breed of shooter they meant It's an idea kitchen sink that doesn't really mesh well together.
>>731768475Thats because the guy that knew died in a car crash
>>731768475I wonder if EA had to tardwrangle these guys for Titanfall 1&2 and Apex.
>>731763575Enjoy it while it lasts.
>>731768381I hope it gives rise to "by the creators who watched Shrek."
>>731768542Only problem is I doubt he was the lead designer for MW2. So this is basically meaningless information. For all I know he was the coffee boy.
ok COD just copies everyone right? When wall running and future warfare was a short thing they copied that. Why don't they make a COD Titanfall knockoff since there is a market demand for that and not Modern Warfare 12?
>>731768654COD team could probably make a fun enough R6S clone and a Titanfall clone.
>>731764457The homeless would just rent those homes out for drugs and continue living in the street
>>731768334You tell me.
>>731764115Are you a Highguard Partner?
>>731768649
>>731764428>and it has 0 appeal for casual playersSo live service slop is dying the same death as RTSes now? Just games made for the competitive side, when 99% of players aren't in that mode?
>>731766180>It's not DEI slopwhat does the D in DEI stand for again?
>>731768542was he in grade school when he worked on cod 2?
>>731768067Isn't there a barrier splitting the map until the magic sword is available?
We will weather your grifter storm. Highguard is here to stay.
>>731764976this 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
>>731769005dunno, never played the game
so whats the wokie cope for this one
>>731767751>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 fruitThis shit is too common
>>731768903kinda offtopic but it's been years and I still don't understand how diversity and inclusion are different

>>731768986He was 20 something. Born in the 1980s
>>731769065>>731769006
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.At this point seeing somebody say they had a blast is enough for me to completely lose interest in a game, it's as bad as having a screaming black woman on the cover
>>731769065It failed because it was bad by total and complete coincidenceRecognizing patterns is chud behavior
>>731769006But the game just isn't that good.It also limited it's reach with TPM and Secureboot.3v3 just doesn't work.
>>731769103>I unironically never hear anyone talking about actual popular games like E33, Elden Ring, BG3 say that they had a blast./ourguy/ MortismalGaming keeps using it quite often nowadays and it makes me wince every timeI think people outside of /v/ simply haven't realized that it's cringe yet
>>731769086so "chud grifters at it again"?amazing how these people assume it's impossible look at the game and see that it looks like shit all on their own
>>731769065Right-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).
>>731763414Too bad for them but I'm Having A Blast playing Highguard!
>>731768381anyone else remember the marketing bullshit around Evolve and Back4Blood? >by the creators of left4deadit's been over a decade of this shit in gaming and the only way I see it stopping is when we run out of people who worked on old hits worming their way through the industry
>>731769115>Recognizing patternsI just can't help it
>>731765649sperg lmao. I know it's hard for you to tell since you have no concept of humour, but that's irony. Take a joke, fag.
>>731769103I assume it came from bots who are reviewing positively on Steam.
>>731763678>>731764428It'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.Meanwhile, Highguard got the audience and couldn't make them wanna keep playing.
>>731763575>im having a blast!everytime i see someone unironically say this anywhere else i just automatically assume they are a bot or just a paid shill
>>731769167>agenda-pushing developersbut that's literally true though, at least for some devs
>>731769198but then you check the credits and sure its the company that worked on l4d, but nobody works there from that era anymore
>>731768647Now part of me wants to try and sell some shitty indy game just to use that line, too bad that would be too expensive to do just for lulz
>>731767601I wouldn't be so sure, technically you could make a good game out of this but it would require taking it into a completely new direction
>>731769248I think it's quite neat that you can still trick retards by saying "brought to you by the company that made that other game you like!" even when none of the personnel is there anymoreWorked for EA with Bioware's corpse for like 20 years
>>731763678It's good, but gets a bit repetetive before long.
>>731769167Self inflicted damage by every dev or CM clown pontificating about "modern audience" and needing "more diversity"
>>731769238Found the sloptuber
>>731769276>>>731768649You people keep bringing up no mans sky ignoring the thousands of games that weren't lucky. NMS is the outlier not the rule
>>731769006I'd love to know what such a... freethinker made.
>>731769338?
>>731769006based now redditors are forced to play the game because 4chan hates it and waste their life playing a shitty game hahahaha
>>731769297To 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.
>>731769465>Titanfall 210 years anonAnd even before AAA games started taking 5+ years to make, devs quite often changed companies
>>731769167>my boogeyman is irrelevant>and he's irradiating ENERGY to make all my lame and gay games fail out the doorPick a lane, transvestite. Also, will you ever stop projecting your parasocial behavior on others, those self-reports are getting sadder every year.
>>731769232Tbh
>>731769167But you didn't say why they fail. Is the implication that literally every potential player only plays what right wing youtubers tell him? If so, maybe devs should start making games for the right wing youtuber crowd then
>>731769167thanks gcjgpt
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.
>>731769167>so whats the wokie cope for this onePeople replying should pay attention to context.
>>731769673Turns out EA was holding them back from making shit like this.>>731769512>10 yearsTitanfall 2 was 2016? Yea it's over for Titanfall bros..
why does the game run like shit if 100 people who worked on cod 2 cod 4 apex titanfall halo mario and half-life made it
>>731769812>why does the game run like shitbecause it's on UE5
>>731769838>saar stop blaming devs we work good
>>731769812Making games is a skill, you can lose skill over the course of your life.Even a great filmmaker at 30 is often worse at 80 etc. (Or even 50)This is why you need flesh blood, and non-dei (diversity hires, that get picked for the colour or their skin or their sexual orientation, and not truly the best of the best)
>>731769786>Turns out EA was holding them back from making shit like this.Sounds awful lot like the story of Bungie>Microsoft was oppressing us but now that we're free we'll make the game of our dreams>Activision was oppressing us but now that we're free we'll make the game of our dreams>shits the bad and becomes even greedier than before>leaks reveal that Activision was tardwrangling them and making at least half of Destiny's content
>>731769673Its not just games but movies too. Auteur directora go on to make their indie movies free from hollywood and they're just as shit.
>>731769673I don't understand how they can get to release and not have a clue what sorta gamemode they really want
>>731770005toxic positivity
>>731765157Nothing will ever beat watching the utter dumpster fire that was Concord with the /v/ros.Sadly this game will just fade into obscurity, it wasn't enough of a collosal flop to be remembered until the end of time like concord. I wasn't even the center of a massive DEI controversy. It's sin was taking up the primetime slot in the VGAs while looking like generic slop.
>>731770005Geoff and all the journos just told them"ITS GREAT! SHIP IT"
>>731769897the older I get the more I realize a lot of these studios will go full retard if they didn't have suits to rein them intoo bad the suits are a different brand of retarded
>>731769384...but awoved was a success though?
>>731763414Why is there such a hate against this nothing game? Because it was the last shown at TGA? Ecelebs?
>>731770289Because it's a clear attempt to forcefeed the gaming community a franchise they don't want, as Concord was. The astroturfing is blatant and the coldly calculated F2P cashgrab nature of it is transparent. The market simply cannot tolerate any more hero shooters.
>>731769897There are companies like this that you don't even hear of.Like Deviations Games.Founded by Dave Anthony and Jason Blundell.The studio failed make a singe game from 2020-2024 and shutdown.
>>731770373Astroturfing from who? Ecelebs? Journalists certainly aren't shilling this shit.
>>731770383>Deviations GamesSounds just like every exBlizzard studio.
>>731770373>The astroturfing is blatant and the coldly calculated>coldly calculatedlolthey literally shat themselves after Geoff showed the trailer
>>731770402News articles from journalists are.
>>731770402The torrent of streamers paid to play it on day one and who took to social media to shill for it, claiming they weren't paid to be positive but also not NOT saying their opinions were influenced by being wined and dined.
>ermm guys its 5am in burger land, relax!!
>>731770503If 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.
>>731763414So is it good?
>>731763414>watch gameplay on youtube>gigantic, huge map>3v3>each game takes like 50 "turns" in which you start all over again, farm and buildwho designed this?>all the characters are american mystery meat with tik tok haircutscome on, man.
>>731770619It's a 3v3 dotalike?
>>731770571Actually dire. How low does it have to go before they pull the plug?
>>731770402journalists are kinda shilling for the game, but it's more like "the game is bad, yes. but the hate is too much and we need to talk">>731770652not him but, it's a quarter MOBA, a quarter R6S, a quarter Apexlike you got a resource gathering phase with a shop and a mount, then a final "tower" you need to do damage to if you are attacking
>>731770652i suppose you can call it that, but you have to destroy the enemy base 20 times.
>>731770619with tons of mobility and super high TTK so ranged combat is a joke
>>731770652when he says farm he means you have to mine resources and get weapons/ammo and shitthere aren't any minions to farm
>>731770740>super high TTKyeah wtf is up with that, takes like 10 hours to shoot a guy to death.
>>731770723>>731770747I wanna know what the cocaine fuelled execs were thinking when they thought taking one core mechanic from every popular genre and smashing them together was a good idea
>>731770619>american mystery meatits making me seethe this is what USA will be remembered for in the future. being a motherfucking mutant factory.
>>731770835>execsno execs, this is an independent private studio.it's entirely on the former titanfall & apex developers for coming up with this.
>3v3 on huge maps with barely any action>Mining and gathering resources instead of fighting>Completing objectives to damage the opposing base >Shit gunplay and tries way too hard to be esports shitWhat were they thinking?
>>731764115>>Gunplay is greatstopped reading right there
>>731763414Wasn't expecting it to fare better than Concord lmao
>>731763414CONCORD 2>CONCORD 2CONCORD 2
>>731770985>what if we made a new genre and made it an esport? we'll be billionairesthat's what they were thinkingnew genre + esport + live service = money printerthere was no passion behind this shit
>>731767493For what
>>731770652If 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.
>going back upSpoke too soon,chuds!
>>731771115They hate Geoff, for some reason.
>>731771126PLAY THE DIP
>>731770257(You)
>>731763414>>731763520genuinely never seen a graph like this all the other flavor of the month slop like FragPunk, Spectre Divide, Rogue Company had a better player retention, at least during the first couple weeks
>>731771115For devs being retarded and not listening to gamers
>>731771274>FragPunk, Spectre Divide, Rogue Companythere has to be a name for this kind of trash, preferably something more creative than *slop
>>731771278Why would anyone want to listen to toxic chud gamers?
>>731771348Okay; don't listen. See how far you get when you try to force behaviour.
>>731771348because you either do or your shit "performed below expectations"Devs need us, not the other way around
>>731771274I think the brunt of the players were just testing it with the expectations of just getting to make fun of how bad it really was with no intention of playing it beyond a few hours max
I only just found out these are 2 separate games>highguard>4loopthey look the exact same.
I'm having a blast
>>731766458good morning
>>731769051Based
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 6/10If they've got enough funding to keep it going 6 months or more we might just see it eke out a modest playerbase
>>731768771They couldn't afford any more upvotes?

>>731768381Anyone tried a "by the creator of anonymous 4chan post" card yet?
>>731771502I 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.Why have ten sets of chest spawns on a map for 6 people? You'll just never run into anyone else, ever, you never need to mine for gear because the chests will just have it
You think Geoff is feeling like Ivan right now?
>>731765509>SECURE BOOOT REEEEE FUCKING RETARDS YOU ARE AL RETARDS REEEEEEIt's time to realize you are the retard anon. Secure boot is not the Illuminati.
>>731763678It's really mid and feels like a random grab bag of ideas
>>731774264a new breeding of shooter...
>>731774605Okay retard
>>731771321even the people who play games like this have embraced the friendslop moniker
>>731769234I don't think anyone is saying it unironically after DD2
>watch several popular japanese streamers playing the game>they don't know anything about the controversy>"this game is kinda fun, might play again">they never do
>>731766458>everyone hates muppet segments
>>731769006Yeah, I'm sure that there are tens of thousands of blast havers simply waiting in the ditches until the hate is over before they return to the game.
>>731775265Statler and Waldorf were the only acceptable ones
>>731774264Extremely generic, was she designed by AI?
I don't know how we reached this point where so many shooting games have this boring gameplay design of running around for several minutes 'looting' random shit like houses and chests so you can find guns and ammo to shoot people with maybe I have brain damage or something but whenever I see a game with that gameplay element I get turned off
Anyone else /havingablast/?
>>731765032https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wyLCd6_r0yU
sometimes I think you faggots like schadenfreude more than you like video games
>>731775702Design by committee. When people who don't play video games make video games, the best they can do is guess whether something is fun or not.
>>731769103it's the same with "dope". Had to take it out of my lexicon because too many journofags were appropriating it
>>731769673>fleeNah they probably got fired, this is the dregs of EA making their own game lol, regardless of what you think about E33 the devs basically told everyone repeatedly that they left of their own volition to make what they wanted, the highguard devs only used it as a marketing point to help sell the game (and then removed it later from the steam page)
>>731768381But Dispatch was good
>>731764457This faggot thinks giving colossal fuckups free houses will magically fix homelessness.Lmao point at him and laugh.
Can someone tell me how to compare the concurrent players of several games at the same time on SteamDB? I don't see the option
>>731763678It'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.ALSOthe 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.
>>731776120R0FL!!
>>731776162See? We TOLD you they're all aspiring engineers
> 2 months of dogpiling another piece of shit game because there is nothing else to play
>>731776190Press the button labelled "Compare"
>>731775702It's designed to try and trigger the part of the brain that gets hooked on slot machines. Number go up, brain feel good. It's how you create addicts who then cough up mountains of cash for your shitty cosmetics.Once you realise how this dopamine hacking works, you notice it everywhere in modern gaming. It's all designed from top to bottom to keep you hypnotically glued to the screen.
>>731776386Oh shit I see it now thanks
>>731776598I just think it's boring as fuck especially having to do it every fucking match and especially mining fucking rocks everyone that likes that is beyond FUCKING retarded
it's ok frens, you're safe here
>>731775254well that's how japanese culture works. you don't get fired, you get isolated
>>731776652>2 shit games huddling togetherFAGS
>>731763414KEKAROOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO
>>731776162>in amerimutt land, they dont even have basic systems on their fuel pumps to stop you from pumping without it being properly inserted into a fuel inputholy fuck, what a shithole, first it was the electric plugs now thistruly the only place that will steal an invention and make it worse for no reason other than jews.
why do they do this? Is the bag really that big?
>>731776652>Tranny in profile namejokes write themselves
>>731776598Then they did it wrong. The boxes lack that bing bing light and sound spectacle that gambling games have refined through the years.
>>731763414I've still no clue about what highguard even is
>>731763414its over gamers, I have the high ground
>people see the trailer>"this is absolute dogshit why would you ever announce this?">game releases>its actual absolue dogshit but worse than people thought it would beYou guys hype for Concord 3: Marthon coming soon?
It's just a 7/10 game. It's definitely not the worst thing I've ever played but it's also not enjoyable enough for me to want to play it much more than I did ~3 hours
>>731763414Cant hate the game man.Yes it's painfully generic looking but fuck at least the women are attractive and in general it's not a Concord level disaster on that front and its not from an smug mega corp like Sony.Also not their fault Geoff decided to put a huge ass target on them.
>>731776296That's a pulsefire, it's commercially available flamethrower and if I had to make a bet I'd say that it's stolen as well.
>>731776780is marathon f2p or 40 bucks to play?
>>731763617this hurts me more than you son, but you gotta learn
>>731765134By that time fewer than a thousand people will be playing. They should just cut their losses.
Looks like news about Highguard's downfall has been greatly exaggerated.What now, chuds?
So did Geoff just completely screw this game by what he did or was there never any hope for this game even if they just shadow-dropped it?
marathon and halo next
The game has a long tail, though. They'll be releasing content in stages.
>>731776815It can be said that if they hadn't have Geoff's endorsement, Highguard would've had even far smaller player numbers.
>>731776721it's just the only bag for people with no skills and a journalism degree
>>731773829>tranny coded ahh designit's like you never played the game. This is the troon-coded character
>>731776927You mean it's early access without calling it early access
>>731765846It's just not a good game and it runs like shit. It also looks unapealing and extremely forgetable. The only reason people even talk about it is because it got overhyped at the Gayme Aweirds as if it would be the next biggest game in the world.
>>731775254In asian culture, kinda, pretty good, not bad and fine are euphanism for you tried your best but it wasnt good enough for me.
>>731776953uhh...actually yea that's a good way of looking at it
>>731776721How do I have a feeling that the person didn't really even play either of the games and just shills for them...
>>731776862lost 90% of players lol
>>731775254>>731776989It's more like the asian audience dont know or care about culture war bullshit. Look at the massive difference in audiences between western and asian gamers for stellar blade. One cared about beating the wokies while the other just wanted a fanservice game
>>731763678incredibly mediocredoesn't do anything particularly standout, just bland and inoffensive all around and 3v3 is a weird-ass choice for this kind of gamethis 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
OH NO NO NO NO NOIT HAD TO HAPPEN
>>731775254>JapaneseJapan is also the place you can be successfully sued for negative reviews on places.I wouldn't trust their words when it's a genuine possibility what they say could ruin their entire lives.
>>731777198source for this?
>>731772525if it had shadowdropped it wouldn't have been Concord 2 because nobody would've caredConcord doing as genuinely awful as it did and dying in under the lifespan of a housefly is phenomenally bad because Sony was backing it and went 100% all in on it to the point they decided to charge 40 bucks for it out the gate, if Concord had been free it would probably have lived longer solely because there would be a bile fascination with it that got people to at least install and touch it
>>731763414Name a game with more than 1000 peak players that had this bad of a drop off
>>731777285The New World dev letter.
>>731777285
>>731777198kek
>>731763457January of next year, theyll keep them through Xmas for visibility reasons but they realistically wouldve been booted this November
>>731768334pffffthahahahhahaaaa
>>731777198BUY THE DIBBUY BUY BUY
>>731777198We're gonna need a bigger chud wall
>>731763678It’s not even fun to make fun off other than being another bad idea failing
>>731777198That has to be fake lmao
>>731777353yeah i think the same. they have year's roadmap so they probably have the runway and development ready for this year
>>731777409Concord had BazzHyenas had picrelDoes this game have an equivalent character?
>>731763520>>731771502i did install it just to see how bad it was, but i didn't expect that i wouldn't even finish the tutorialdogshit slow sprinting alone is an embarrassment coming From The Makers Of Titanfall(tm)
>"only 3v3? that seems insanely low">check the roster>8 charactershoooooly fuckthat's genuinely unacceptable for a game like this, if nothing else you have to have variety, even fucking Concord had double that. They should've pulled back massively on these stupid huge maps
GAAS is such an irresistible siren call for suits.They look at LoL and Fortnite and think: that could be us!But they usually end up as Concord or Highguard.
>>731777328what the fuck I didn't know new world was shutting down. do you think steam would refund me if I bought it when it came out and passed the play time limit since it's a game I bought that I can't even play soon?
>>731777453>hyenas had picrelHyenas had a literal drag queen, man!
>>731777453every character looks completely souless
>>731777198>it's realholy shit
>>731763678Asmongold said thrle game was bad before it even came out and all the 12 year olds worshiping him revieebombed the game.
>>731777497The focus on sweaty e-sports has been the death of multiplayer FPS games for a while.
>>731777497Apparently apex also started with 8 so they just did what worked before
>>731777453disgusting
>>731777497Are the character even that distinct? I only played with the blond fire dude and his kit felt really boring, like a more barebone version of valorant's phoenix.
>>731765846People want another Concord disaster because the last one was so fun.Highguard looks like a promising game to crash and burn due to being in the same genre and looking meh as fuck.
>>731777331I love SpheneEspecially this picture of Sphene
Me buying food and not woke games
People still bought it. It’s a pump and dump game they can dissolve the studio and rebrand to make the next slop
>>731765293>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 shootIt was made by older people who like some peace and quiet in-between their shooty shooties, they actually say this in their developer vision video https://youtu.be/9IC02ev7qHU?si=NiBy-JG_cui2doJp&t=294It's sort of interesting that the same game design concept that killed Evolve now has another victim. Evolve also had windows of time during which nothing happens except running after someone else. How was this handled by the BattleRoyale genre so well, when it failed in 2 big games with a lot of people who allegedly knew what they were doing?
>>731777624Concord never had a chance, meanwhile this game could have been good.I just want Titanfall 3...
>>731777701>People still bought it.It's free. 'How many of the suckers bought MTX?' is what you should be asking.
>>731777701>People still bought it>F2P>the first battlepass is free>spend 1 concordillion on marketing like paying streamers>the developers have no credentials now as their names are forever associated with thisDAMN They are GENIUSES
>>731777453>Does this game have an equivalent character?The main guy they led with. Yellow broccoli guy.
>>731777706There never should be peace and quiet in a PVP shooter. If they want downtime then they should have made a PVE game.
Memes aside what the fuck were they thinking giving the main guy a broccoli cut? I honestly thought it was satire.
>>731765812Why does it have soul
>>731777778>'How many of the suckers bought MTX?none, considering the first battlepass is free
>>731777832bro thats the least of this games problems
>>731766053It actually is.
>>731777843Some people have already spent $300 on cosmetics, apparently.
>>731765846it has niggers in it. I don't mind niggers but only as funny sidekicks played by chris tucker.
>>731777931They should release the names of all the people who put money into the game and those people should have their credit cards taken away
>>731771502When people get hit with constant "NOT ENOUGH PLAYERS", they just close the game and move to something else. No one's missing anything from not playing the Geoff-shilled new flavor of the month arena shooter.
>>731767443Marathon will have enough players to stave off a studio closure. Fairegamedollarsign seems to be an actual concord 2 but im curious to know why theyve said fuck all. They lost the director and studio head why isn’t this shit cancelled
>>731777931will it be enough to pay the salaries of 70+ LA senior game devs?I doubt it
>>731777981How is it possible for a 3v3 game to hit that problem during launch week? Baffling
>>731767493Revenge for what?
>>731777987>Marathon will have enough players to stave off a studio closureit's a worse ark raiders, no?they should have just made it "F2P"
>>731777852if your marketing uses that as your first impression card and everyone else involved happily nodded and said "Well done", precious few people will care to find out what other lunacies lurk in your office or your game
>>731764115what about the horse though
>>731763678It was a game people were going to reviewbomb and treat as a tortanic because of the blatant game awards shilling of a very stupid idea for a game when the previous year's announcement slot was Okami 2. It then turned that the game is genuinely bad enough to warrant severely negative review due to horrific performance, bad gameflow and nonsensical choices in design
>>731777619nah they all just kinda mix together into character creator mystery meat choices, it's genuinely just incredibly boring to look at
>>731778026so many players are just leaving pre or mid match, it's insane.it causes the match to just end.I have had a match where it ended in 1m 15s
HighguardsMEN keep winning
>>731764115>I like the concept of fighting for OBJ in wide open space and then planting bombs in close range combatNobody talks or writes like this. Hell, even shills these days knows how to at least pretend to be "gamers".This is either a falseflag or a literal bot. Or just a shitpost.Jesus Christ its impossible to tell the three apart anymore help
>>731776928Honestly starting small and slowly building up (Possibly) looks better than staring very strong and nosediving like that.Plus is the one more thing stuff really that important visibility wise? Switching places with another game would have been enough.
>>731777832>Memes aside what the fuck were they thinking giving the main guy a broccoli cut?If the TIDE pod challenge was still ongoing, the characters in Highguard would be swallowing detergent. Same with how Fortnite had the zoomer floss dance. They targeted 2017 zoomers with the advertising, but 2017 was almost a decade ago, zoomers are now it in their thirties.
>>731763678its capture the flag + overwatch ... only with 10% the contentpersonally i think the game came 20 years too late, the market change a lot with PvPvE or hero shooters being king at the momentif they wanted to break in with a new genre they should have really made it much better, paragon failed for a reason
>>731778208I completely forgot zoomer's retarded challenge culture. Why are we shitting on alpha kids for saying "6 7" and "trololo tralala" when zoomers literally eat tidepods for clout?
>>731778291>zoomers literally eat tidepods for clout?it was mostly fake and very overreported
I wonder if the devs ever realized this shit was gonna be DOA while developing it but were too far in to go back
>>731778367It was "fake" but they were still actually doing it because they were too stupid to understand that the packages are made to dissolve.
>>731763457Should have a third panel where he goes back to laying down
>>731777525You can still launch the game just fine, you just can't join any multiplayer sessions.
>>731764457Homeless people aren't homeless because they don't have a home. They are homeless because they are demon possessed monsters who only know how to destroy - on average. There is no way to fix the homelessness issue while respecting freedom and being nice to them.
>>731763457dubs say september
>>731778393I doubt it since the game was developed under wraps with nothing shown to the public until the game was done. It was probably another case like Concord where it was nothing but toxic positivity with them thinking they had absolute gold on their hands.
>>731777198A gesture of good will would've been to give the ability to host your own lobbies.
>>731778393the grunt devs can't do anything about it, it's mostly on the game designers to do somethingdon't know the studio's work culture, but at most game companies you are better off just taking your paychecks and shutting the fuck upwho cares if the game flops
>>731777198>Made weeks before releaselmfao
>>731778557I avoid shops that homeless squat outsideIt should be illegal to sit your ass right next to an ATM and force people to awkwardly ignore you as they withdraw cash
How did Jeff see this game, play this game and then come to the conclusion that this was the hypest thing ever? It all seems so fucking fake
>>731765846It's shit. Humans can tell.
>>731777706I kinda agree with this thoughMaybe I’m out of touch, but I hate CoD respawn 10 times in a minute hectic gameplay. I like some breathing room and strategizing time
>>731777198You got to be baiting me, bro? They didn't really drop that early we were just getting warmed up here.
>>731763808Top kek
>>731778393>>731778602 (me)I have worked in construction for half a decade and we, the grunts, really don't give a fuck as long as we get paid.Literally who cares if the building is gonna look shit or function like shit, that's not on us.
/v/ niggas getting more dopamine from steam charts and video games failing than actually playing games
>>731777797Apex does it pretty well, but even there, you're a) always trying to improve your positioning on the map even while looting, b) there's always a risk of getting ambushed and c) going after enemy teams to wipe them out and steal their loot is perfectly viable. From what I've seen from this game, the "sequences" (defend, loot etc.) just feel extremely forced and get old really fast.
>>731778790Much of the vidya industry is contract work. You join do your time and leave. Very few places will you score permanent employment.
>>731778845It is a rather rare event, and I do enjoy looking at car crashes.
>>731778845Seems a problem with the games if they make them less enjoyable than that.
>>731769071I think Diversity is just having niggers and wheelchairs be in the game while Inclusion is the sidequest that talks about how hard it is to be a nigger in a wheelchair
>>731778705How new?
There's just no reason to play this. I've already experienced every aspect of this. I understand that they've tried to condition me into some sort of pavlovian response but instead of wanting more of the same I just want something new or something I haven't tasted in a while. Its like chicken and broccoli, sure it's good and can taste good but if it's all there is it gets bland real fast. Some people don't care about it and are just trying to get to a certain space. I have the same issue with music.>oh you like this? Try this?And when I get to it it's the same thing as what I had already gotten from the other artist and it's just not scratching that same itch because I got the other guy doing it for me the way I like it, so I'm usually just looking for someone else doing something I either haven't heard in a while or something I haven't heard before
>>731777987>Marathon will have enough players to stave off a studio closure.I just can't see it surviving for long. Yes, it has Bungie behind it but people are already sour on Bungie due to Destiny 2 and haven't been happy with them for years. Arc Raiders just released and claimed the extraction shooter fans that aren't exclusively sitting on The Division 2. Then you have the massive controversy they got themselves into with the art theft.Even when they did that beta run with streamers a few months back they were only getting like 1.5k people even though it was one of those betas where a lot of keys were floating around. They have at least been addressing all the problems brought to light since that beta test like "You move slow as molasses despite everyone being called 'Runners'" but it's still going to be a paid game as far as we know.I just don't see it.>but im curious to know why theyve said fuck allI think internally they've realized it's Concord 2. No one wants it, they've sunk hundreds of millions, it's been mired in controversy, and they are going to take a huge hit if they ever release it or cancel it.
>>731768334Geoff made such a massive mistake with this reveal
>>731778683Come back to TF2 24/7 2fort servers
>>731768334Are there actual creators of titanfall and apex or were they just devs that worked on it? That’s quite a big claim. My guess is they were not creators and just devs that worked on the game lying to try to sell the game and EA flipped out.
>>731768381>From the creators or ASSFAGGOTS
>>731778845I did play this game for around 7 hours, and it's a directionless mess. Even if it was done by an independent studio, it genuinely feels like a corpo game. it's trying to put everything from popular games like Apex, R6 Siege, and Valorant/CS all in one, and since it's spreading itself so thin, none of these aspects end up really working. every single aspect (the item tiers, the sieging, the resource collecting) feels half-assed
>>731778957I'd say all of that is diversity.Inclusion is how you get arachnophobia modes, bodytype A/B stuffed in your charsheet and some free vitiligo skins so 0.001% of the audience won't rope
>>731768475Being on the team of the game doesn’t make you a creator. That may be the case even if you started early on in the development.
>>731779069I agree with this, but what I don't understand is why X and Reddit are valiantly defending Marathon and getting lots of likes for it. All the big streamers and X personalities are defending the game too. Anyone critique of Marathon whether it be the art style, plagiarism etc. either gets downvoted to hell or ratioed into oblivion. It seems like Marathon isn't going to flop and could put a large dent into Arc Raiders.
>>731768334>>731779197At this point being associated with Hi,guard is brand damage, and apex legends still has some life in it so.
>>731779197Im assuming its people who work/worked at the time, isnt the studio respawn? Its like those parody movies that would say from the people who brought you scary movie, but it wasnt the Wayans bros
>10,821 players right nowSomehow, the playerbase returned...
>>731779291>>731779197Wildlight Entertainment was co-founded by a group of former Respawn Entertainment devs in 2023. CEO Welch was formerly COO and GM of Apex Legends, and McCord was previously design director on Apexaccording to gemini at least
>>731763414That game should have been a 10v10 at the very least with the size of that map
>>731778894contract work being pervasive like this is going to be one of the most cancerous things this society has ever come up with
>>731766849>I wonder what changed.Cellphones, social media, and the third world coming online en masse.
>>731777987>stave off studio closureSony isn't going to close Marathon, they're cannibalizing it.Almost all of the leadership at Bungie has jumped ship with their golden parachutes, the company is being retooled into a Destiny slop farm (not that it wasn't already after Destiny 2), Marathon is just a contractual obligation, once it drops, it'll probably be sunsetted while the rest of the company is cannibalized for the Destiny IP, they're already Fortniting it with their crossovers.
>>731779829Didn't they just release some sort of mobile game that's doing reasonably well which they're using as a vehicle for crossovers as well?
>>731774097You just mad I'm drowning in (you)s while you only get pity replys. deal with it lol
>>731779702People who have been online gaming have had access to BBs, Forums, Message Boards, chat programs, email, ect, for decades.The change wasn't that people magically got to talk to eachother more because phones now exist, the change was the games became shittierThe phenomenon isn't people saying gaming is shit, the phenomenon is the industry refusing to acknowledge they're producing nothing but shit
>>731779964>People who have been online gaming have had access to BBs, Forums, Message Boards, chat programs, email, ect, for decades.I know, I've been through it all. Im fucking saying that more and more shittier/dumber people having easier access is what caused the decline and more people falling for simple baits.Trolling used to be all about trying to get people mad, like really mad. Now people think its a win if they get some half assed reply.
>>731780114Or the game have become so shit that people genuinely have more fun shitposting about them instead of actually playing them.
>>731763414Get woke go broke Leftism is a mental illness
>>731780523what's woke about it?
>>731780581it's lame and gay
>>731763414>recovers to give them false hope>plummets to a new low to stick the knife in deeperkek i love this
>>731767636Why would Leonkino underperform lol
>>731768475>andrew wilson most likely phoned the team and said "dont attach my franchises to this shit game" kek
>>731767636>I think if a shit game underperforms then there are bigger issues than simply being a shit game
