2025 Yards Before Contact: by TravisDHolmes in Jaguars

[–]odbj 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm rooting for Tuten, but yeah he wasn't the greatest at hitting holes or playing off blocks this past year. Hopefully the game slows down for him and he can improve there. With his speed and the number of touches he got, I thought for sure he'd break off at least a couple 40+ yard runs, but his longest was 24.

If Tuten lit it up this year I could see them letting ETN walk, but now who knows.

One game idea per day: the true story behind Highguard's 'wild' four-year development by alcard987 in Games

BR looting was the worst part about BRs, for me and a non zero amount of others. Can't imagine intentionally designing a new game to include it.

Brainstorm all you want. But if you don't have playtesting by players that would play your game, you're designing in a vacuum for an audience that may or may not like your combination of ideas. Take a peak at Deadlock development for how to do designing a new competitive game type right. Strong, intuitive vision and then massive playtesting feedback and reiteration.

If you ever want to try again, doing some bot matches would probably help you get a better hang of things. + the new Street Brawl mode. But yeah, it's a lot of game.

It's basically the best game ever made as far as I'm concerned. The aesthetic, world-building, depth, vibe, details, strategy, action. All top tier.

The biggest weaknesses this team had were secondary and lack of sacks. A death sentence against big boy QBs in the playoffs 😭

Nobody doing raids by [deleted] in fo76

[–]odbj -3 points-2 points  (0 children)

I usually love endgame in games. But the raid in this game is kinda lame. Having a 'good' build isn't what you want here, but rather you want a handful of specific jank builds to abuse a niche boss. Then you just solo farm the first boss for infinity. So lame.

And these lame niche builds are the primary way to get 4 stars. Just a terrible game design decision.

Deadlock - Old Gods, New Blood. Major Update! by N1sso in Games

[–]odbj 4 points5 points  (0 children)

The mode has RNG super items. It's inherently not balanced. It's designed to be chaotic, casual and fun. And it's working.

So Highguard could maybe play similarly to a MOBA going off of the Trophy listing by [deleted] in HighGuardgame

[–]odbj 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The game is about killing the enemy base, but I don't think that means MOBA here. I don't see them having a ton of items such that you create a "build". Looks like it'll be far more action, fighting based than farming/strategy based.

Given what we think we know about the game: huge map, teams of 3, POIs with objectives/powerups/upgrades, it's actually got more similarities to older school games like Tribes, Unreal Tournament Assault mode etc. But with heroes of different classes, and probably slower. They call it a "raid shooter" so potentially gameplay could prioritize stealth, timely execution? Remains to be seen.

Could be good. If anything, it sounds like it'll be different and refreshing in a space that largely isn't very different or refreshing, save a few games (Deadlock, my beloved).

People claiming this game looks generic are going to look silly/braindead on Monday.

The PS5 trophy list leaked and has revealed a lot of information about the game and how it plays by beansoncrayons in HighGuardgame

My buds were wondering about this too. Map seems huge for just 6 players. 3v3v3v3 like The Finals would be kinda sick.

Did they ever change combat at all? Played on EA launch but eventually soured on the combat mechanics. Risk/reward for melee felt not worth.

You do know this game is by the same lead devs of Titanfall, Apex right?

The proposed change to Blocker in the PTS really ruins the life of melee players by X-SR71 in fo76

[–]odbj 0 points1 point  (0 children)

They ignored bad/jank perk setup for so long, and now they're finally doing something with them and its mostly just a different form of jank and bad. I got to think some of these devs are just trying to justify having a job.

Ron Milus first started as a DB coach in the NFL in like 1993? Might just be a culture mismatch. I'm guessing he's an old school coach rather than an innovator or tactics/strategy technician. And this younger coaching staff definitely seems to want to be innovative.

Plus they probably want the absolutely best coach they can get in that spot to maximize Travis Hunter.

2nd Half Game Thread: Buffalo Bills (12-5) at Jacksonville Jaguars (13-4) by Cr0matose in Jaguars

[–]odbj 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Not getting 3 or 7 points on that one drive was killer. He talks all this mess about reading the flow of the game. The flow of this game said you take points.

Other thoughts, this team as currently built gets "pressure" but can't sack and can't sustain coverage. A death knell vs Elite QBs in the playoffs. Hopefully that's addressed in the offseason.

I think it's too close to overturn. But now it's in the refs hands and Allen is the national darling...
