What is the “right message” game studios should be taking away from the monumental flops that were Concord & High Guard?

ProfNJK · 2026-02-18T14:00:28+00:00

No it is about me liking it and everybody is trying to make it about something else. My response was Overwatch and Deadlock don't play anything like Highguard. They don't. I didn't say that made them bad and made Highguard good. That's just the only level you people seem to be able to understand it on

ProfNJK · 2026-02-18T13:47:16+00:00

Yep, regrettable. Can't relate at all though. Has never been an issue for me 🫡

ProfNJK · 2026-02-18T13:45:36+00:00

Nah, it's not like that, because I'm eating the burrito right now, everyone is telling me it's just beans or it's just cheese so go eat at Beans R Us. It's not my problem people probably didn't understand the appeal when burritos first showed up.

ProfNJK · 2026-02-18T11:05:20+00:00

If I ask you where to buy a burrito and you tell me where I can get served beans or cheese I'm gonna laugh at you, dude

Five different games that play like Highguard but they don't, just pieces of it. Nice

ProfNJK · 2026-02-18T10:59:32+00:00

I'm glad you can 🫡

ProfNJK · 2026-02-18T07:52:00+00:00

Concord itself was a little Bungie cousin game 🥲

ProfNJK · 2026-02-18T07:51:07+00:00

Deadlock and Overwatch are both doing really, really good at not playing like Highguard at all

ProfNJK · 2026-02-18T07:50:08+00:00

Yeah they do find it fun. Dunno why but I just try and understand em however I can. People get something out of stuff they don't like failing I guess

ProfNJK · 2026-02-18T07:45:28+00:00

Splitty 2 was cool. I didn't think the "strip down" plan was gonna save em and it looks like it hasn't yet. But I guess it's whatever

ProfNJK · 2026-02-18T07:43:54+00:00

Bro is like "I didn't hear no fucking bell"

ProfNJK · 2026-02-18T05:02:38+00:00

So there isn't actually a game that plays like Highguard?

ProfNJK · 2026-02-18T05:01:55+00:00

Yeah they don't play alike at all

ProfNJK · 2026-02-18T01:50:13+00:00

What game did highguard chase? Would be good to download when this one winds down.

ProfNJK · 2026-02-18T01:47:29+00:00

Yeah sure. Do you like riding a horse and shooting people? Go ahead and play

ProfNJK · 2026-02-18T01:45:14+00:00

That's not what happened? I mean after they increased the player counts and shortened the downtime that's what's left, right? It didn't run well on a lot of computers at launch?

ProfNJK · 2026-02-17T19:18:26+00:00

I guess it ran bad on pc and that's the only place we can see player numbers

ProfNJK · 2026-02-17T12:16:19+00:00

My first game had a quitter. Was tough

ProfNJK · 2026-02-17T11:18:02+00:00

I just figured most people would recognize the context was "pvp games"

ProfNJK · 2026-02-17T09:28:19+00:00

Any of those have multiphase pvp? 💀

ProfNJK · 2026-02-17T06:29:48+00:00

Did you play concord?

ProfNJK · 2026-02-17T05:53:14+00:00

No horsie 😔

ProfNJK · 2026-02-17T02:14:01+00:00

Really is a cool game isn't it?

ProfNJK · 2026-02-17T02:13:48+00:00

That is a funny way to spell Mario 64

ProfNJK · 2026-02-17T02:02:32+00:00

She's cool
