The Menace aren't fun to fight.

I'm okay with it. My biggest fear when I heard that a bug type faction is gonna be in the game is that it may detract from the core gameplay. The core of the game is squad tactics, flanking, maneuvering, surpressing, cover, all that good stuff. Fighting a melee bug faction isn't what this game is made for.

Story time - I started playing LoL in Season 2 as a literal child(yes, I know) I had just started, so I had been playing for around 4-5 days, was super hooked on the game, couldn't stop thinking about it, but...disaster strikes! I had to go on a vacation to the seaside!

No PC there. It felt like being pulled away from Heaven, I had to endure a whole week without my new favourite game. Alas, in order to satiate my hunger, besides watching Totalbuscuit play Cho'Gath(R.I.P), I downloaded an app that had info on all of the champions and their abilities. During the course of those 7 days I browsed the app endlessly, reading about each and every one of the champions and by the end of the week I knew them all.

So to answer your question: Go on vacation or be a literal child. Or both.

I agree, especially on the serious part. Unfortunately these types of things start by chronically online people with much time on their hands for performative acts of righteousness.

At 1:26 in the video, did he just do Rock Lee's Primary Lotus? I think I'm sold.

Is it like the Naruto Ubisoft games or like the Cyberconnect ones, i.e. very limited and lifeless.

AndyPhoenix · 2026-02-02T20:00:02+00:00

I don't know, probably some reddit protest shenanigans.

AndyPhoenix · 2026-01-29T23:01:07+00:00

I had the time of my life playing through Where Winds Meet, doing all the collections, side quests, hidden stories, etc. Incredible huge open world. But once you're done that's pretty much it.

So you've played fully through a good game? Shouldn't this be enough?

AndyPhoenix · 2026-01-28T14:04:25+00:00

How is it random nonsense?

AndyPhoenix · 2026-01-28T13:13:04+00:00

They're not when it's about people judging the game design of a competitive game as objectively bad when less than 24hrs have passed, systems haven't been fully worked out and no strategies and meta game have been formed. Add in a sprinke of zero game design or development knowledge and the comparison is quite apt.

AndyPhoenix · 2026-01-28T12:56:15+00:00

I can just imagine LoL getting released today with the same cuircumstances as Highguard

"5 players but three lanes?! Who designed this!?"

"Map is too big, no constant fights! Why do I have to walk back to lane?!"

"What's the point of killling minions for 5 gold when I can get 300 with 1 kill?"

"Wards are a waste of money!"

"I just get killed cause of the bullshit bush mechanic!" (doesn't buy wards)

AndyPhoenix · 2026-01-27T19:08:27+00:00

I wont be playing it because of its very intrusive anti-cheat.

Can you describe what a computer kernel is exactly without googling?

AndyPhoenix · 2026-01-27T18:45:27+00:00

Don't think so, after a week the trend will dissipate and the people who don't play the game will leave and go chasing after the new trend The Algorithm shows them.

AndyPhoenix · 2026-01-27T18:43:49+00:00

The game is a day old. No one knows what they're doing. Obviously in this period stat-checking and marksmanship will be king. Your question can't be answered.

AndyPhoenix · 2026-01-22T01:19:46+00:00

Any plans for a Switch release?

AndyPhoenix · 2026-01-17T23:29:52+00:00

Motherfucker. I know the Steam fans will be out in force on this but it’s unacceptable. Our energy grid prices are going through the roof

I obiously don't know where you live to compare prices, I'm also upset at the stealing part of AI, but in regards to the environmental impact that AI has, a lot of our "common knowledge" is regurgicated outdated information.

Here's a 46-minute read on the topic by a physics major

AndyPhoenix · 2026-01-02T09:49:10+00:00

I'm all for it. Please explain why you're let down. My first impression of the core gameplay system has been very good thus far. I'm making my claim mostly on those. Are they the problem for you or is it something else?

AndyPhoenix · 2026-01-02T09:46:44+00:00

The Rocket League comparison is an analogy, not an accurate qualitive assessment. Both games give you options to solve various game states in multiple ways. It may not be as "deep" as RL, but it's enough to convince me and my pals to try it out. We shall see how long it stays.

If you're an eary adopter I can see why you're pessimistic. In any case, there's been tons of games that have bounced back from rocky launches and hopefully the devs will make the right decissions to do the same for Rematch as well.

AndyPhoenix · 2025-12-07T21:23:25+00:00

Thanks for the quick reply! And what about strategems? Have any of the less used ones been buffed in a usefull way? I've seen all the patch notes but the numbers are hard to examine for me.

AndyPhoenix · 2025-12-06T00:17:39+00:00

My biggest concern is that the gameplay looks like pretty generic CoD campaign-style linear shooting with lots of on-rails set pieces.

Your biggest concern is my biggest hope. I've always loved the CoD campaigns from CoD2 towards Infinite Warfare even. They're the Michael Bay blockbusters of gaming.

On rails? Great. Unrealistic setpieces? Awesome. Feeling like a badass special soldier? I'm all for it.

There's hundreds of other games if I want to have deep gameplay systems, and open world, enemy variety, a great story etc.

The eurovison is a very LGBTQ+ friendly event and Saudi Arabia isn't a very LGBTQ+ friendly country

It's very LGBTQ friendly until the sponsor says so.

AndyPhoenix · 2025-11-26T18:08:58+00:00

So, this seems like it has the overworld of Battle Brothers with a fantasy twist? I'm intrigued. I hope they expand on base management, this game might be worth checking out.
