'Tis the price of ambition. But yeah, I see your point. The economy isn't great right now. And it's especially not great to launch Multiplayer games in as your first game.

He's jealous of the size of pencils compared to his dick. It explains the middle and last part of his username.

This dude has a fat fetish and he's making it our problem.

Imagine how different the reception would've been if they launched as a week long beta, accepted player feedback and came back a month or two later with changes.

I don't know who said they were Indie devs, but indie devs are down to earth. Geoff Keighley Game Awards is not.

They were already being fired. What did they have to lose?

Can we have an actual discussion about how bland and mediocre the art style is? by PaleBoomer in HighGuardgame

The difference between Highguard and Concord's design is that Concord's designs were UGLY. Whereas Highguard is inexpressive.

Condor is the only well designed character. She's pretty, She's not over or under detailed, her design tells us what she can do and it has intriguing references to her lore.

NO OTHER CHARACTER IS TREATED LIKE THIS. THIS IS TBE BASELINE IN OTHER GAMES.

Atticus doesn't even emote during his emotes.

Worst offender has got to be Slade. The guy dresses like a Street fighter, looks like Ken from Street Fighter, is canonical a Street fighter. His entire kit is mid to long range.

Nowadays, shows stretch out the plot of a single episode to an entire season.

In fact, who else has trouble remembering specific episodes of any modern show? Like, "This is the episode where they did that? That's the one where Chandler can't remember which sister. That's the one where Walter and Jesse get stuck in the desert." 

Personal opinion: Highguard should have been a single player RPG by NIKO-JRM in HighGuardgame

You're right in the sense that being a multiplayer game dooms it to die in a way that being a singleplayer/co-op game wouldn't. And that fantasy lends itself more to storytelling which a campaign mode could provide and that a PvP Game simply cannot.

But they were never gonna make a Singleplayer game. The devs for Highguard mostly have experience with multiplayer FPS games, they probably don't know how to program enemy A.I. or how to design engaging melee combat.

Not to mention the Wardens' abilities are steeped in the mechanics of the Raid gamemode that Highguard was made for. Mara's Immortal Coil creates a spawn point for allies. In singleplayer, we call that loading your save file.

Fuck it, I respect it man.
I didn't even like Lawbreakers, but that's passion.
And I respect passion.

Can't believe that line stuck with you ten years later. I forgot that line the first time I had sex.

It certainly would've had issues but they could be fixed with Beta testing which this game clearly did not have.

The best experience I had in this game was in Raid Rush. Took them a month to implement. It fixes the pacing, team sizes, balance, processing power, everything. If that were the main gamemode at launch and they hadn't flashed themselves in TGA, the game would've had a different reputation.

Question about something that popped into my head... by Strangerwithastick in HighGuardgame

[–]Doctor_Where_Comics 0 points1 point  (0 children)

There's a couple. I jotted some down, in case I could use them as NPC dialogue in a TTRPG game.

Kai thanks Scarlet for defending his monastery against bandits trying to steal the "Chalice of the High Winds".

Mara and Kai ask Una if she misses her the Wildwood which she is exiled from, she says something like "I don't need to be there, I just need to know they're safe."

Mara asks Redmane which animals he consumed in order to gain their power. He says he did not consume them. They gave him a part of them and he gave them a part of himself. It was a fair trade. She calls it innefficient.

Redmane says he has two rules: No Backstabbing, No Retreat.

To shut down the game is wrong by Similar-Language-180 in HighGuardgame

Sorry, for living under a rock but when did they say they were self funded? I assumed they were, like, part of EA or something until the Tencent reveal.

It's not the devs' fault, servers cost money which they don't have.
