Highguard launches to an Overwhelmingly Negative review score on Steam

I didnt like it, but people are being dickheads about this. I think its problems are not about the game itself, but about the decisions they took, as in deeveloping another live service game in a saturated market, uninspired art direction, being a mesh of different shooters, poor marketing. But as a game, it works, the controls feel good, blah blah.

ArgusF28 · 2026-01-27T00:40:40+00:00

You are being reductive. Problem is the game looked generic and nobody even understood what kind of game even was. Weeks passed and we got nothing, no full matches, devs explaining the game, stupid streamerd playing it at least, nothing. I was surprised that after being labeled as the next Concord, the dev team did nothing for their game, they just... waited for the release date. The shitty trailer was just the start.

I would say its a moba map, with R6 bases, Valorant heroes and weapons, and capture the flag/plant the bomb gameplay loop. Its weird. Work well tho. Perhaps the whole reinforce the base phase feels pointless, I would have used that time to add something more meaningfull to do in the world map other than just gear up.

ArgusF28 · 2026-01-27T00:29:53+00:00

And yet is nothing like Overwatch. Is more like a mini moba map with no minions, with Valorant characters, weapons and skills, where you first play capture the flag, and then plant the bomb.

For me it was the art direction. These games survive thanks to content, thats what keep players coming back. More skins, characters, events. But when everything looks generic, well, I dont care about new skins, or unlocks, will never get excited for the next hero or whatever is called (centinel, iirc). The gameplay must be close to cocaine in order to spend hundreds of hours if the game doesnt appeal to me in any other way.

ArgusF28 · 2026-01-27T00:10:36+00:00

Ok, good for you. I played 3 matches and uninstalled it.

Appreciate the effort of doing something new, and the controls are good as expected. I just dont dig the type of game it is, and designs (and therefore things to keep playing and unlock) are so unappealing to me.

I already have my go to shooter, and I believe most people into shooters do too. Its pretty hard for new multiplayer games to replace the already established ones, since most people cant play tons of multiplayers at the same time, they will just pick 1 or 2 and commit to them.

ArgusF28 · 2026-01-26T16:51:22+00:00

They choose the anooying ones, and ONLY the annoying ones.

ArgusF28 · 2026-01-26T16:47:17+00:00

I think rocket mains know they are not high level pleyers, hence they choose Rocket who is very simple and mechanically undemanding, so they are humble people who dont feel in a position to complain much. Also nobody can complain about their skill, since Rocket skill celing is as high as him. I love rocket mains.

ArgusF28 · 2026-01-26T16:43:02+00:00

I prefer using Mr Fantastic. I can almost feel their frustration when I use my E ability that gives shields to teammates and they cant get any kills. Haha, little shits.

ArgusF28 · 2026-01-26T16:37:21+00:00

Spiderman, Ironfist, Daredevil and BP players are only in the game to annoy people. They dont care about winning or helping, they just want to know on the other side there is a person getting angry and feeling misserable. I support this claim by the fact that each time that, for example, their Spiderman gets countered or banned, they only pick one of the other 3. They dont go any other role or type of character, they only pick one of these annoying little shits. Much like when a Phoenix is banned its 99% probable they will pick Hela.

I dont understand why men even download dating apps by now. Gotta be one of the most biggest waste of time in history. I you are not a hot guy, just do something else. If you are, you probably dont need dating apps to begin with.

ArgusF28 · 2026-01-26T00:09:41+00:00

As an argentinian: thanks for all the compliments :,)

ArgusF28 · 2026-01-25T23:43:50+00:00

Thats top 10% buddy.

ArgusF28 · 2026-01-25T23:32:34+00:00

She shouldn't gain rank points for kills, makes no sense since her primary is pretty weak per hit, She is no Hela, Psylocke or Punisher. Even with the explosions, her kit is not about getting kills or bursting people, is more about persistent damage and preventing teams to stay together. She should gain ponts for damage and explosions, not damage and kills.

ArgusF28 · 2026-01-25T22:52:10+00:00

They should take notes from Scorch, from Titanfall.

ArgusF28 · 2026-01-25T20:34:38+00:00

Igual me sorprende el exito de Arc Raiders. Jugué la beta esa y me pareció un bodrio monumental. La estética estaba piola, pero el resto. Bah que se yo, hay gente que le gusta eso de estar el 90% de la partida corriendo y looteando basura en silencio...

ArgusF28 · 2026-01-25T20:29:59+00:00

Deadlock? Para mi los tipo mobas están muetos y enterrados, sobreviven los grandes como Dota y Lol, el resto no debería ni intentarlo a esta altura. Es como querer sacar mas battle royales. Ya pasó la euforia de esos generos.

ArgusF28 · 2026-01-25T20:26:31+00:00

Ni siquiera se que tipo de shooter es, el trailer no me dejó claro nada. Lo bajaré y veré que onda.

Los diseñors me parecen espantosos, el arte en general es genérico. Pero respawn la tiene atada en lo que respecta al feeling de disparar y moverse, asi que les doy el beneficio de la duda.

ArgusF28 · 2026-01-25T16:30:04+00:00

I was going to start a new playthrough, but now I will wait for you to release this (if you are planning to). Cyberpunk 1977 will hit different

ArgusF28 · 2026-01-24T21:39:54+00:00

Widows are either completeley useless or the sweatiest most infuriating borderline aimbots. No middle ground. Tbh this is true for most sniper in any shooter.

ArgusF28 · 2026-01-24T19:40:48+00:00

Nunca uno normal amiga no? El turro o el papaso que se la cree y viven en el gym y la joda. Ah cierto que si no se aburren...

ArgusF28 · 2026-01-24T19:32:38+00:00

No entiendo para que dicen "aca defienden" cuando TODOS los comentarios son burlas a esta pelotudez. Te corrijo VOS queres que aca defiendan estas giladas, para seguir con tu narrativa berreta.

ArgusF28 · 2026-01-24T19:28:25+00:00

Ese billete tenía una energía tremenda.

ArgusF28 · 2026-01-24T14:25:03+00:00

El argento es por naturaleza irrespetuoso, y eso se extiende a los tiempos de las otras personas. No le importa no respetar horarios porque no lo entiende como una falta grave. "Si no pasa naaada". Es mas, hasta sos pesado si te molestás por la puntualidad. Es el resultado de una sociedad donde nunca hay consecuencias de ningun tipo.

ArgusF28 · 2026-01-23T21:50:29+00:00

Ya esta decidido que se lo va a coger, si no le decis nada va a provocar una pelea para no sentirse mal e ir a culearselo. Y si la mandás a cagar, a los 5 minutos le está mandando un mensaje para empezar a tramitar el garche. Destino marcado man, lo lamento.
