so about Highguard

[StoneyKenobi]

Game is taking mechanics from God of war, Fortnite, Apex, The Finals, Siege, Overwatch, Breath of the Wild, Genshin, CS, the game is a jumbled mess of the most popular game mechanics. Its like someone higher up took a poll of gamers 12-20 and asked whats your favorite game mechanics and than they took that list and added everything.

I am not shocked in the slightest, but the game really doesn't deserve all this hate the internet keeps spewing. Especially when you're gonna forget about it by next week or two.

Here is the developer diary. Turns out they're just adding whatever they thought was cool or hip.So that explains the development process. This diary came out the same day as the game.

I do find the whole "Think about the developers feelings" posts that I'm seeing on some parts of the internet to be incredibly dumb. Sorry not sorry, they made a shit game -- it's boring. I loved Titanfall, I wasn't expecting this to be that, but I gave it a chance and I'm not going to sugercoat how I feel because some developers are too entrenched in an environment of toxic positivity.

I can't blame you for feeling that way.

I'm not gonna go out of my way to insult them on this one. They did that to themselves this time.

I'm not mad at them or going to harass them over it; I know there are a lot of crazy gamers out there who are probably already doing that. It's free to play, I tried the game, thought it offered nothing particularly compelling and was boring to play, and I'll say that, but I'm not angry at them or even Geoff Keighley. I lost nothing giving it a try. Keighley's getting raked over the coals right now.

I'm more troubled by the gaming press and influencers who seemed to have an agenda with this game. I can understand Geoff getting excited because it was a new game from a studio with a lot of talent, however I don't know how so-called journalists and influencers came away from playing it and being so impressed by it. Nothing about the game impressed me. Not the visuals, not the performance, not the shooting, and certainly not the core "raid" loop.
