Looks very average...nothing WoW!!! tha can beat current ones.

The character designs are Gen-Z trash and this is an objective take.

Absolutely awful. Like truly heinous. What is this shit?

I've already lost track of which game is which, seeing this same dude with that same haircut in all of them, sometimes there's a female version of him too.

For you and anyone else looking to make "it's going to fail" posts, not that I blame you for doing so, but what do you want in a modern competitive PVP shooter?

COD clone done right? A new Halo type game? Unreal Tournament type arena shooter? Another Overwatch? A new Planetscape game? What should developers be doing with modern shooters?

People always talk about what they don't want from every newly announced PVP shooter, but people rarely explain what they do want from the genre.

I'd much rather they make a spiritual successor to Titanfall II, man I loved everything about that game, both the PvE campaign and the PvP modes. I know they can't actually make Titanfall III because EA owns it, but just make it anyway and call it something else!


Highguard just looks like an Overwatch clone with a worse artstyle to me. It even looks like it plays like Overwatch. Even the name is like a clone of Overwatch:

High = Over synonym
Guard = Watch synonym

I hope the game does well but it doesn't appeal to me at all, it honestly feels like a Concord 2 situation to me unfortunately. I hope it isn't though, for the devs sake.

What I really can't understand is why it got the final big reveal of the night? Star Wars FOTOR would have been a much, MUCH better choice for that IMHO.

Gaas crap infested with twisted dei and woke crap. The worse last game reveal of game awards of all time.

My only hope is this game's failure will be another sign to the industry to stop trend-chasing GaaS so hard.

Too many already exist, the business model to maintain itself needs people constantly playing, which means less games being played overall.

Also, high fantasy with modern guns as an aesthetic 90% of the time looks ass, and so does this.

I thought the "riding a fantasy bear with an assault rifle in hand" thing was actually hilarious. I feel like that idea could be cool in a class based shooter, and wall destruction is cool. That said the Fortnite character design and "yet another hero shooter" game is so disappointing. Aggressively off-putting in fact. Very mixed impression, because the maps and action look great.

Yay, more generic, soulless live service slop.
How long do we think this one will last before being shut down?
