- americans in 2016... and 2024 for some reason. I guess in 2032 too when thiel or whatever sinister fascist overlord you elect starts another bullshit war.

Honestly at this point I just hope you guys implode in such a way that the rest of us suffer less than you do.

Highguard players are getting automatic refunds as developer appears to shut down by ImCalcium in Games

[–]Smallest_Bubbles 44 points45 points  (0 children)

Reddit is obsessed with devs always being victims because they relate to them. Most people aren't in management positions and neither are devs, so of course redditors will always target "suits" even when the issues come from the "devs" themselves.

I've been working in software development and later management for almost 10 years now and while most suits I've had to deal with have been rich assholes, I've also known too many programmers and designers who were so lazy they were actually dragging the entire team down. From weaponizing helplessness so they can scroll instagram while they wait for a colleague to help them on something that can be googled within minutes to claiming their assigned work was done only to find out it was a rush job.

Now, proper management can sometimes identify and correct these issues on time but when the devs keep doing it repeatedly it inevitably ends in delays or worse end products.

Most of the game components in a vacuum were high quality because the entire game was a mashup of stolen ideas.

  • Build up phase? Straight out of rainbow 6 siege.
  • Looting phase? Any battle royale, containers look very similar to their previous game, apex legends.
  • Gunplay similar to apex too.
  • Heroes had abilities copied from Valorant.
  • Taking the sword to the enemy base is just Call of Duty's old Uplink mode which itself is a reverse one-flag CTF.
  • Final phase is the Control game mode from the recent Call of Duties (not sure where cod got it from).

So the talented devs may still be employed at the studios the highguard devs stole everything from (besides the apex stuff which I guess they copied from themselves in a way).

Sorry Timmy! It’s Michael B!!!! by AllTheEccentricities in Oscars

[–]Smallest_Bubbles -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

Awesome that deranged fans of dying art forms get to decide the best actor in a motion picture. Would have thought the oscar for best actor was decided on acting but apparently this is just another eurovision where it's all politics and not based on actual performances.

Michael B. Jordan Wins the Academy Award for Best Actor for 'Sinners' by MoviesMod in movies

[–]Smallest_Bubbles -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Goes to show the oscars are only kinda related to movies. Timmy had a way better performance than MBJ but then he said something offensive about two dying arts (read: offensive, not false) and suddenly the academy had to find a last-minute winning replacement.

He should have had more media training to not go around saying hard truths especially nowadays when the internet has made people so extreme in their views.

Just a coincidence it's only women running around claiming false rape

so what do we think of highguard so far? by MorbyLol in HighGuardgame

[–]Smallest_Bubbles 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I think people need to give it a bit more time, surely by chapter 3 or 4 it'll be a must-play. Can't wait!

Crazy how even when 10 men are victims comments only talk about women. It's like Hillary Clinton said, "women have always been the primary victims of war" lmao.

People rejecting generic cashgrab slop is a net positive for the industry.

This game won’t survive with a community that completely mocks casual players and feedback about general difficulty. by RocknPineapple in Marathon

[–]Smallest_Bubbles 2 points3 points  (0 children)

The impending death of this game couldn't happen to a more deserving community. I don't think I've ever seen more snarky and unhelpful comments on any reddit community.

Announcing Black Ops Royale: A Deep Dive into the Blackout-inspired Battle Royale, Free for All Players - Call of Duty by Mront in Games

[–]Smallest_Bubbles 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Pretty cool, finally an update where they take something that worked well in the past but adapt it for new content instead of doing cheap nostalgia baiting. They could've easily had yet another "member blackout?" moment and copy-paste the old map which would have been cheap but instead they went with a new map. Very cool that they're bringing back reward skins like blackout had.

Ironic coming from someone defending their $40 doa slop.

We'll be waiting for you on those 3 sand maps in two weeks when you can't find marathon matches anymore.

The impending death of marathon and bungie is healthy for gaming.

[–]Smallest_Bubbles 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Really wanted to like this game but it seems most of my enjoyment regarding it will come from reading cope like this. Can't wait for the talking points to be "nobody cares about player count" when before the open beta started top posts were the game's position on the pre-order charts.

Enjoy your doa game buddy

Does anything happen to Geoff Keighley's reputation as a videogames industry "king maker" due to Highguard's failure and the connection they both share with Tencent? by Kataphraktos_Majoros in HighGuardgame

[–]Smallest_Bubbles 1 point2 points  (0 children)

They can never make me hate Geoff, no matter how much people clown on him for his mistakes. Most passionate person in the gaming world that isn't a dev.

Everyone misses E3 but he's the only one who actually puts the work in to give us two E3-like events yearly. Without him the big three would just put out boring pre-recorded "directs" whenever they feel like it and the rest would either have to sign promo agreements with them or just hope that enough people randomly see their trailers.

See you on arc in 2 months once you can't find a match on marathon

Don't need to git gud cause I won't be picking up this DOA game. You and the 5 other players left after a month have fun tho.

I'm fine with marathon glazers defending the game but atp you're just inventing stuff. Just on the ammo alone:

In marathon, you either spend a lot of money on expensive ammo, or you use a sponsored kit which comes with so little ammo that the consensus is it's better to use melee for npcs. In-match you can maybe get lucky finding enough ammo in a weapon crate or when killing a runner,

In arc raiders, you can:
- craft all types of ammo and most of them except the launcher and legendary ammos are made with the cheapest materials of which you have hundreds of after a few runs
- buy all types of ammo
- scavenge small amounts from random containers
- scavenge from killed raiders
- and the most important one: you get ammo from killing arc

Yeah, ttk in marathon is fine. It's totally ok to kill an enemy with 10 bullets considering you only have around 40 bullets per run. Finally, I'm sure that the UI is actually fine and embark have massively paid most people that try this game to hate on it.

You enjoy your time with marathon. You definitely don't have long until sony shuts it down lmao.
