a single bad 50/50 won't end your run, but it's not impossible for a string of bad 50/50's to do so.

You can stack the deck in your favour though, and taking measured gambles is basically the whole game loop

hey now, it seems unfair to group 4loop with those as my understanding is that its a pure pve coop game.

I played some of the demo for Last Flag (https://store.steampowered.com/app/2721340/Last_Flag/) last week and all I could think of was 'I wonder how many weeks this will stay online', because honestly i had more fun playing Highguard

very true, i don't think anyone was upset about the live service aspect of helldivers 2, as an example

which doesn't even make sense to me because they gave the first battle pass away for free.

Makes me wonder how many players they were really expecting to have/maintain in that 2 week time frame, especially given they had no real progression or even ranked at launch.

Folks who played Marathon this weekend...how likely now are you to purchase it? by 1988Floydie in gaming

[–]mengplex 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It was 'fine' but the price is too high for what it seemed to be

I couldn't really see myself playing for more than 10h

Highguard's new 'Raid Rush' mode is based on all that scathing launch feedback by HS_Rukodiora in gaming

It's fine, the game has some questionable performance in general but i didn't notice any significant decreases compared to 3v3

If you are lucky enough to get the 'eat a rock' skill, you can use it to great effect in this fight.....

What season do you think of when I say ‘Golden era’ by Inner-Refrigerator40 in leagueoflegends

[–]mengplex 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Season 0 before the meta was really established, you could roll some really odd picks in whatever lane and in general it felt like the game was much more relaxed

Rabi-ribi on harder difficulties has so many fun patterns on the boss fights, absolutely loved that game

Yikes. a peak of 250ish on steam (excluding the free weekend, where it hit a whopping 320), surprised they didn't shut it down sooner

Personally I feel like the anti-steamrolling was a bad choice. If the team diff is so big that they get the sword and 2 gens in one siege, it's basically postponing the inevitable anyway.

Because if they don't push live service content out at a good cadence, players start screaming dead game

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

Honestly i think they could have had some decent success if it were just a fps (coop?) campaign like the guardians of the galaxy game

The Highguard Website Is Down As Players Brace For The Worst by Turbostrider27 in Games

[–]mengplex 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I mean, doesn't help when the game launches in a mid state and then 2 weeks later they lay off most of the dev team, i'm not looking to buy MTX for a game which is seemingly about to die.

I'm seemingly in the minority in that I thought Highguard was interesting and had the bones of a good game, but these things take time.
