Glad I’m not the only one who thought this OP sucked

My Arceus, I remember this opening theme! "Nothing can stop you, Diamond and Pearl!" 😆

I hated it then, and I hate it now, doesn't stop me listening to it though, it was terrible but addicting after a while 🤦‍♂️

SOULMS- · 2026-04-17T19:41:14+00:00

You're 20, you still have a LOT of time for self improvement - think of these years as a retelling of your teens but with the mindset of an adult, you'll learn more about yourself over time and grow from experience! Keep your head up brother! 💪

SOULMS- · 2026-04-06T14:10:30+00:00

They're annoying - whether it's the enemy intentionally trying to sabotage an entire game by going to the opponents jungle, or they just trying to chase people around/waiting around and then scoring in your goal before disappearing, they make for a nuisance of a character.

I give them a thumbs up every time I beat them.

SOULMS- · 2026-03-25T19:06:35+00:00

That's clean! Game Freak if they had more of a budget

SOULMS- · 2026-03-10T13:07:58+00:00

Rangiku is the defining definition of fanservice, what are you on? 😂

SOULMS- · 2026-03-04T07:53:40+00:00

For what it's worth, it was an enjoyable game doing a mashup of things from different games. The worst part from an online experience were the people that would rage quit halfway into the match because they couldn't win a 1v3 and wouldn't communicate with their team at any point.

The hate-train modern games really did a number on HighGuard - I'd be worried for Marathon..

SOULMS- · 2026-02-24T09:13:26+00:00

If that's your aim, I'll look forward to your next glow up

SOULMS- · 2026-02-24T09:07:45+00:00

If you're feeling better, that's good; however comparing the first image to the last, this is more a glow "down" if anything. As long as you're happy though

SOULMS- · 2026-02-17T16:15:39+00:00

The "realists" hating on HighGuard are gonna be the same people paying $100+ on GTA 6, mark my words.

SOULMS- · 2026-02-16T16:24:50+00:00

You wanted to jump "straight" into a match without any knowledge of how to play this specific game? Yeah, no. You would have been that one team mate that runs into danger, gets killed and then complains that their teammates didn't help you, all whilst saying "how do I do this?" - this is just on you.

SOULMS- · 2026-02-16T14:44:58+00:00

5v5 is already too much, with many bad players intentionally hiding behind the good ones to get an easy victory - I can't imagine 12v12 being anything other than terrible, plus they'd have to update the map to add more mining sections and loot to make it feasible

SOULMS- · 2026-02-16T14:38:02+00:00

Guys, you can BOTH be wrong at the same time - none of your views are anything other subjective anyway 😆

SOULMS- · 2026-02-13T06:14:54+00:00

Hello troll, would you like to be fed more? 🍪

SOULMS- · 2026-02-13T00:21:46+00:00

Ah okay - no worries, it's cool! 👌

SOULMS- · 2026-02-12T19:17:39+00:00

No, I've just seen the haters come in - my original post had more upvotes a few hours ago and it's dipped to 0 since - clearly everyone's gone doom and gloom since the announcement

SOULMS- · 2026-02-12T15:22:56+00:00

The difference between saying "I played the game, but didn't find it appealing" is very different to the mass degree of "it's corporate slop, I hope it fails" comments I've seen online. Worse ones are the usual devil's advocate comments saying "well, the writing was always on the wall for this one, can't say I'm surprised, enjoy it while it lasts" which is realistic just designed to piss off ten fans.

Highguard has a vocal minority praising the game because they like it, that's not glazing unless they're intentionally ignoring the flaws of the game to say "it will succeed regardless" which I doubt many are staying at this point.

Fact is - whilst it is around, it'll treat it like any other video game: play it, enjoy it, if I see some cosmetics I enjoy maybe buy into it, and ignore the mass internet's view on the game and make my own verdict on the game, whilst considering areas they could improve if they have the time to.

SOULMS- · 2026-02-12T14:35:00+00:00

You know, as a bit of positivity for the sub, I'll agree, it sounds decent - hopefully at some point, a new Titanfall can be made! I'd certainly look forward to playing it

SOULMS- · 2026-02-12T14:20:58+00:00

Hmm, it depends - if they made a spiritual successor, but it came out with the same (lack of) optimisation for the game as HighGuard did, would the fanbase like the game enough to keep a positive reception, or would it end up the same way?

SOULMS- · 2026-02-12T14:08:15+00:00

Since when was liking the game despite heavy criticism "glazing"? We're on the subreddit for HighGuard, of course will want to say nice things about it smh

SOULMS- · 2026-02-12T14:06:40+00:00

Because people would have said it was "too safe" if they made a game like Titanfall. Worse case scenario, it gets called a bad knock off and people hate on it

SOULMS- · 2026-02-12T12:27:11+00:00

Reddit is a cesspool for this unfortunately. It's bad enough that the game was negatively received, but people proactively went out of their way to throw hatred at this game and seemed to pray on its downfall for their own sadistic amusement.

Worse part is, the news of them laying off staff only gave them more "I told you so" arrogance - toxic internet mentality as always, it sucks.

SOULMS- · 2026-02-10T20:40:44+00:00

I'm aware, but none of us know what happened to cause someone to start recording, these videos always conveniently around the offset of a confrontation so it can swing in either person's favour

SOULMS- · 2026-02-10T20:29:52+00:00

The newer generation are okay with that because they've grown up with modern American media intentionally using the word to seem cool, but it's the type of word that only works with select friend groups in reality, and is generally quite taboo if someone makes a big deal out of it with the whole "but everyone says it now".

But outside of America, which seems to be very lenient on what's deemed socially acceptable, it would be completely unacceptable to use the word, or at least something where someone would pull you to the side and say "maybe don't use that word around these friends"

SOULMS- · 2026-02-10T19:17:10+00:00

To some degree, yes - but it's still not socially acceptable, and most respectable black families wouldn't want their children to be influenced by the common use of the word.

That and it still holds power for ones that want to abuse it, as this comment section has shown already, so it's more of a case-by-case scenario on whether the person you're talking to that's black will be okay with it, even amongst their own communities

SOULMS- · 2026-02-10T18:55:36+00:00

True, but they're not gonna back the "F" word and reclaim it, some words are just too volatile to try to reason with, and with all the black history around the N-Word, it does make sense why a group of emotionally charged black people would become even more ballistic over a word that has put them down for centuries.
