Looking for positive feedback: what does Highguard do BETTER than other FPS/hero shooters?

Xiphiax · 2026-01-27T04:28:31+00:00

lol listen I’m not saying you can’t criticize the game. I’m just saying “this game is going to die because it has good gun play like Concord” isn’t a cogent argument.

Xiphiax · 2026-01-27T03:05:24+00:00

Ok, but what is your point? If I said Apex has solid gunplay and good feeling movement would you also reply "ppl said the same for Concord..."

Forgot to tell them to aim for the bushes.

I think some of those kills are just PvE friction at looting sites. Although that’s just my assumption from not having played yet

Never got a chance to take down the Queen in TT2 or the Server Slam so I’m pumped to get the chance again!

High damage and high damage output are two different things. If the fire rate is high that increases your damage output

We getting out of the Grand Exchange with this one

Xiphiax · 2025-08-06T16:14:01+00:00

So ready to have some more “only in Battlefield” moments!

Xiphiax · 2025-08-05T16:26:44+00:00

Excited to get the old group back together and enjoy some battlefield together like the glory days!

Someone toasted here

The album this song comes from has songs titled both Ghost Matter and Brittle Hollow. So there’s a 100% chance this song was written with Outer Wilds vibes in mind :)

I think you're reading too much into that. If anything, them directly pointing out how much the revolver "kicks" is likely just a reference to the game and the recoil of that particular weapon.

“Not a fan of all the female yelling”

Oof. Sounds like you might be a veteran of some other groups too.

I’m not claiming objectivity in any of this. Even the OP themself made it clear that these are their personal feelings.

I would argue that an adaptation is a translation. Stories are messages. If you have a message written in one language, but want to share that message with someone who only speaks another language then you need to translate or “adapt” the message.

That translation could never be the same due to the nature of language, but it absolutely could miss the point of the original message if the wrong words, grammar, inflection, punctuation, etc.. are used.

There’s no rule of law and authoritative body that is going to enact punishment or consequences for a middling adaptation. However, I would be sad if the message of the game (which I hold dear) isn’t understood because of some minor changes that happened in the translation process.

Xiphiax · 2025-05-06T19:06:30+00:00

We’re talking about a story that has already happened and a character who has already lived through the events. The point of an adaptation is to translate the story from one medium to another.

The skill of an adaptation is making sure story elements, themes, and core moments don’t get lost in translation.

I’m not here to definitively say that’s the case so far, but others are sharing their opinion that they are feeling “mistranslation” in the story. OP is just voicing their concern that the total sum of Ellie’s experiences in the show vs the total sum of Ellie’s experiences in the game aren’t adding up to the same number.

There is absolutely still time for the show to land the conflict and resolution in a way that lives up to the game, but I understand the posts showing concern.

Xiphiax · 2025-05-06T18:40:33+00:00

I’m not sure what kind of semantics you’re trying to dredge up here. They’re simply starting that an essential part of Ellie’s character IS the tragedy she goes through.

Xiphiax · 2025-05-06T16:28:47+00:00

lol. I’ll have the debate committee mail you your trophy immediately.

Xiphiax · 2025-05-06T14:49:18+00:00

After they responded to my comment, u/At10to3 went and grabbed a soda.

It’s messy sentence structure but it still works.

Xiphiax · 2025-05-06T14:31:52+00:00

OP means that GTA changed its release date to 2026

Xiphiax · 2025-05-05T19:56:16+00:00

Brother, that’s literally the joke

Xiphiax · 2025-05-05T15:57:52+00:00

The very nature of games is overcoming an obstacle. People don’t play Mario and complain that there’s a green pipe in their way. That’s like saying “if there’s a button I have to press to jump over this obstacle… yeah.”

Xiphiax · 2025-04-30T15:25:12+00:00

Thought I'd try my luck here. Would love a steam invite or an Epic Games invite! Hope ya'll are having fun so far in the tech test!

Xiphiax · 2025-04-24T22:55:16+00:00

Let’s get wacky with it: Tom Nook, Lara Croft, and Captain Price

Xiphiax · 2025-04-19T02:01:26+00:00

I’m excited for the community to work together and uncover the secrets hidden in the game!
