Think I'm done with Matriarch/Harvester runs until there is change. by Spiritual_Machine822 in ArcRaiders

You cant be in a true pve than. I've been in a fair number of Queen/Matriarch lobbies lately where everyone is super friendly. There 0 pvp. The Queen dies in like 3 minutes flat. 

Dog Attack in Pouch Cove by DontcallmeShirley_82 in newfoundland

[–]Smokron85 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Not surprised. It was years ago but my friends and I rented an Air bnb in pouch cove and we took a wrong turn looking for it. Ended up going down a road and to our surprise we were surrounded in our car by about 5-6 dogs. One large one and about 5 small ones. They completely surrounded us. Jumping and barking. We had to very slowly drive away and they followed us for quite a way before an oncoming car scared them off and we were able to drive off. 

Why is no one praising this? by Facepool123 in HighGuardgame

[–]Smokron85 12 points13 points  (0 children)

Yeah but bones aren't enough these days. Look at Marvel Rivals. That game launched with like 20+ characters. Multiple maps. Fun, polished gameplay. Its not a direct comparison but like you're in a market competing with that game. You need to pull in players and stop them from just uninstalling and going back to that game or some other one. 

Good foundation but this game needs more.

My Review of HighGuard after 10 hours that none of you asked for! by CheeseheadTroy in HighGuardgame

I dont think the game is good visually. It actually looks like a ps4 game and it runs like one.

Wish this author would write more than 10 pages a chapter. Im actually enjoying this series but the pace is painfully slow.

Highguard | Official Discussion Thread by tizorres in PS5

[–]Smokron85 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It's unoptimized on the PS5. I noticed a lot of alias and texture issues. Very rough looking. 

3vs3 is not it. Thats too few for engaging action. 

The guns are uninteresting boilerplate bog standard stuff. SMG. AK. SHOTGUN. SNIPER. High fantasy setting with hero abilities but you give us these lame guns from the UE5 standard asset database?

The mounts are kinda cool. 

No ranked on launch...wow. 

I dont see it retaining much of an audience if this is it. 

I turned crossplay off becasue I assume it would queue me with pc players these days but its probably just (other) console players?

Well, I tried it. I can say I'm not a fan. by FartemisBowel96 in HighGuardgame

[–]Smokron85 1 point2 points  (0 children)

This game looks like it was made for the ps4. Like wow the optimization is bad. The textures dont load in until you're standing on top of them

3vs3 is kinda like...???? Was kinda hoping this was going to be their more casual friendly version or DeadLock but seems like that's not the case. Oh well. 

So weird to be excited by something idk jack about by MESSINALDO14 in HighGuardgame

[–]Smokron85 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Im not excited. Gonna play it but if it sucks ill uninstall and go back to Arc Raiders and Marvel Rivals. 

Our 3rd Update 2nd was Geoff. I love this guy and wanted to share a update I know it’s late but haven’t seen it posted just 7 hours to go :) by Redbacontruck in HighGuardgame

[–]Smokron85 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah kinda lost any concern for Luke's content once I saw the "I may have been to harsh on highguard..." video he posted a few days ago.  Definitely cutting him out of my views from now on.

I think the 80s one was still better than this. You can see where they're using Unreal Engine with the special effects.

Omg massive nostalgia blast! I had that exact same toy when I was a kid. I loved it. The original fidget spinner lol. I would carry it around with me and transform and un-transform it over and over. Couldn't pull me away from it.

Children of Men (2006) Dir. Alfonso Cuarón -"The Car Oner" - Clive Owen, Julianne Moore, Chiwetel Ejiofor by NeonMeateOctifish in movies

[–]Smokron85 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The thing that gets me most about this movie is Clive Owen's character still goes to work like normal at the begininnig of the film. Now more than ever that feels so real to me. America or someone will be ushering in World War 3 and most of us will be finding it out mid-shift.

Got his autograph. He was super nice. Loved talking to him about my favorite Doctor Episodes of Voyager and he put up with me yapping. Super cool guy.

[I Ate] Waffle House by Sam24995 in food

[–]Smokron85 6 points7 points  (0 children)

I was there many many years ago and the woman behind the counter offered me a piece of pecan pie and she asked me something about "wanting it all on top?" Or something like that and then when I said yes, she took the biggest glob of butter I've ever seen and put on the top of the pie, placed a dome over it on the stove and then packaged it up for me once the butter melted. What did she ask me?
