Highguard shills, unite IMMEDIATELY!!!

Emergency meeting, NOW!!
>>
The lessons we learned from this experience:
>stay away from Geoff, everything he touches turns to shit
>don't try to shadow drop your game, Apex was a freak accident
>hero shooters need high quality, porn worthy female characters to survive
>stop fucking pandering to e-sports and comp fags
>>
>>732272949
What about the part where you're making another smeary dithered UE5 asset flip that lowers your native resolution if your post-processing slider isn't set to maximum?
>>
Are there even bots or compstomp in the game?
>>
>>732272949
>>stay away from Geoff, everything he touches turns to shit
More like most people know that he's just an industry shill, and the industry itself pushes the game awards inorganically. People will tune in for free to see the shilling because there are some games announced, but no one really cares beyond that
>>
>>732273045
Ooof, trying to topple the fundament of "modern" AA+ gaming, are we?
>>
>>732272949
>Apex was a freak accident
It wasn't. They spent millions to book streamers into playing Apex and getting YouTube creators to make videos on it.
Apex wasn't simply shadow dropped, it was shadow marketed. Their marketing for it was very impressive given how wide they reached.

It's very clear that none of the marketing team left to work on Highguard because they'd have seen this from the beginning. So much so that if any of the Apex marketing team saw Highguard, they'd either get the project cancelled or leave their job immediately.

>>732272949
Having some actual unique designs and not just random ai generated generic scifi crap for designs might help as well.

Tough pill to swallow for anyone making live service slop: you might have had a chance with more modest ambitions. I might be playing this for one or two games every night if it didn't have the same player retention cancer like muh dailies muh season challenges, likewise you need to stop chasing the esports competitive money and focus on making a fun game first. DotA and CS were fun little projects first, making a balanced game doesn't mean catering to esports.
Available player attention is becoming more scarce as time goes on, if you're launching a live service game you have more chances to make it if you carve a small niche than just aiming to be a top dog and everyone ends up leaving.

It's 2026 are we still doing the whole shadow-drop buzzword thing? The only one who wasn't paid to stream apex was me, and that is because I'm not an eceleb to begin with. It was the pioneer of influencer marketing campaigns in gaming and EA dedicated a nation's GDP to make it happen. Not that I expect anything from niggercattle, but still.
>>
>>732273686
There are plenty of games that come out that aren't live slop, and that is what that anon is saying. Counter Strike was just a mod for HL, and DotA was a User Map Settings game for WC3. At their core they started as just fun games and weren't aiming to be giants in the industry.

Fair, but from a player PoV things it seems as if a dev frankly won't get shit-all if he is not trying to scam with a retarded 1 in 100000 game moonshot, but attempts to find money for any moderate yet viable project with 'normal' profits.

Only 8 characters is bizzarre from a 5vs5 (or even 10vs10+ accounting for the bigass map).

And looking at the mistery mutt on the front and the absolute generic design of the others, you wonder if it was a concord tier cast and they had to redo it late in dev.

It feels like they compromised too much because they couldn't get the game to run well.
They immediately released 5v5 in a panic, so they must have been experimenting with higher player counts and not been able to get them to run well enough.
The crystal shit also feels like a pivot after not being able to get some pve element like creeps to run well.
They ultimately weren't skilled enough to make the game they wanted to make, so they made Highguard.

Crazy idea: Involve actual gamers in your concept development to get their feedback before you invest 4 years and $50M in your game.

Any gamer could have told them the concept was not going to work.
>>
>>732272949
>don't try to shadow drop your game, Apex was a freak accident
Apex was shown off the very day before release, and it was able to benefit from the hype of being a Respawn game that wasn't immediately repugnant nor vague about what it was. Geoff showing this thing a month and a half before release was a curse, allowing whatever reception of the trailer to fester. Unfortunately for them, it was negative.
>>
>>732274201
Mystery meat with jaundice in front and center made everyone think of concord

It's subtle, but they have been slowly phasing out John Highguard from their PR and marketing, if you check social media you will not see any pictures of him lol. They even dropped concept art and left him out.

Their next strategy is goon baiting their best characters.

Loba and Wattson were pretty popular on release. I remember cause I fapped to both of them. I already quit the game by that point though.

I think it's more like it's just a clunky game when it's obvious all you did was cram a mechanic from every popular game in a shallow manner. It really is valoseigeapex. If your game is just an amalgamation, why would you bother with this game when you could just play the game it takes from cause it's at least focused. They could have had something if they focused on the "raiding" aspect. Perhaps make it pve with multiple teams trying to complete more boss raids than your competition.
Also Scifi fantasy is hard to pull off without looking like your aesthetic is raid shadow legends, so this game just looks generic. It doesn't help that the mc knight guy looks like a douchebag wearing armor while having a modern fade hairstyle. The way this game is dying reminds me of Supervive. They even had the coom factor cause they just made league copycat heroes.

It makes it more hilarious when people like the Zoefucker try to say it was a right wing streamer conspiracy that killed the game. I saw that shit the day of the awards show, but deliberately didn't talk about it until post launch, because I wanted to give the game makers a chance to fix things.

The lesson to learn is that it's completely random if a live service game takes off or not. It has to launch at a good time so it's mostly luck based.

Even with regular games, if you launch too close to something big you're fucked. The greatest game ever made could launch next to GTA6 and fail.

Not pleasure, mere self justification.
In that something you did not support blindly met the exact end you figured would happen.
That which is antithetical to what you love crumbled as not only you, but those they pandered to also did not support it.
In a case which anyone with an eye can see "there is something extremely wrong here" and those words are proven true.

The game is good but, the answer is pretty obvious from a dev perspective now, but hindsight is always 20/20

The posterboy is a nondescript race of black/latino/indian broccoli hair guy with jaundice in a generic fantasy armor. With COD guns. That looks like shit as a posterboy. People ARE racist like that. I am disgusted as well even though i wouldn't say i'm racist, but it's natural, it evokes repulsion somehow. Maybe it's the whole woke culture pushing people away from faintly smelly woke stuff, even if this game isn't. And the mongolian guy design was also utter shit. These designs smell.

Then the release was botched in a single day. The performance wasn't spot on, and it was just 3v3 instead of the 5v5. They scrambled to add 5v5 and salvaged what they could, but the FIRST day, which was the important one, it was a bit fucky. With the whole anti-hype, that's a big blow.

The third thing is that lacks characters, and two of them are bad. So I don't know how you can sell skins and do a business with ugly people as your characters. Marvel Rivals pulls it off, Overwatch pulls it off, this one doesn't.

The game is good and i am enjoying the fuck out of it, but as a business launch it was not a good move. They patched the performance a bit now tho.

>>732302348
They tried to do way too much, it's a jack of all trades game but it doesn't excel at anything which means it does nothing to really stand out. It's a mishmash of tons of different games but if people like those elements, they can play another game that does those things better.

>People ARE racist like that
This is true though, the Chinese in particular aren't playing woke games. They dislike black people in a way that would make /pol/ blush.

It's actually exactly because of censorship. Just a very weird Japanese kind of censorship where they can't have outfits that show underwear. But they can have underwear, if there are no clothes over them.

You need good male characters, too.
I personally hate the modern trend of every FPS needing a cast of JOHN COOL THE COOLEST GUY AROUND CHECK OUT HIS COOL BACK STORY type characters rather than generic dudes or personalized avatars, but it's an even bigger problem if none of your John Cools are actually cool.

Apex had sixty players in each game instead of just six. It was actually a pretty good idea too, combining the randomness of a battle royale with the dependability of unique character skills of a hero shooter. Highguard is just overwatch or tf2 but with less players per team and everyone is riding horses, it's such a shit idea that you wonder how it even got made

Because you should want to like a game you play. Even a bad movie can be entertaining, in a it's so bad it's good way. Only something truly bad isn't enjoyable in some form. I played a few games, I think the bones are good, for a fast paced MOBA, and with more time it probably could have been something neat, but it came out half baked. Had they held off the console launch until they got it dialed in, they might have been able to salvage it, but I imagine it'll be dead before years end.

>you wonder if it was a concord tier cast and they had to redo it late in dev.
Don't be fucking retarded, that's not how that works. The cast is barebones because the Apex cast was also barebones and they retardly thought that they could just recreate the Apex scenario 1 for 1 and find success. They planned to add heroes down the line from the get go so they never cared about having a big starting cast

I'm such a distrustful faggot these days, I think that:
>not only did they lie about having their advertising slot fee waived for TGA (at least lying about the entire fee being waived)...
>they probably paid extra to get the last slot and to get Geoff to play along with the narrative that he loved the game so much he waived the show's fees
It's such a dumbshit idea, but think about it: the show having expensive advertising fees was hyped up for a while before it happened, to really give the impression that this is LE BIGGEST NIGHT IN GAMING and all that crapola. Therefore, it'd be SUCH a compelling marketing narrative to claim that the face of the show loved the game SOOOOOO much that he dropped these very infamous and publicized fees (and for the finale reveal no less!!!).

Like how normies are going to realize that Geoff and his gaggle of retarded game bloggers dictating what is and isn't goty have some top tier shit taste thanks to Dorito Pope highlighting and defending Highguard.
This is like having that inept idiot who couldn't clear the Cuphead tutorial tell you what is and isn't a good game, shit's ridiculous.
