Highguard impressions

Just played my first watch and we stayed in gun fights. It’s very simple. Prep and defend. Prep and raid. I do not understand what folks are not getting. Seems like manufactured outrage.

It mostly is for sure. But this generation of gamers are pretty terrible at figuring things out. They need guides and streamers to teach them how to play before they play the game

You’re right. What’s crazy is they dropped a stream and trailer explaining everything and even have a tutorial. Then the tutorial lets you watch an extra video to further explain and they still don’t get it 😭😭😭

Game is fun. Just came back from clutch match. We had 4 base health left and took out their base going after the stone.

Those moments are so damn good

they need to copy fortnite. u can buy the exact amount u need from the store, instead of just enough with some bundles. Also buy certain items from a bundle, instead of paying for a whole bundle. Get rid of weeklies going away and same for dailies. Let them stack.

Time and time again gamers prove that they don't want originality. Highguard is original in concept but I they could have done better in execution. I like the fact that they gave it a chance.

unique how ?

Look up gameplay

yeah idk dude. not sure if breaking rocks and riding horses could be interpret as "unique"

No matter how you frame its features, it's still unique

Yeah... only Tarkov and Arena Breakout are the ONLY games that got away from Trio squads I see

What do you feel is the sweet spot for team size? I get the complaint about 3v3 but I also worry that you lose out on the Apex style high mobility team fights if the map starts to get crowded. Definitely don't think people calling for 8v8 or 10v10 are correct at all.

Its ungodly generic and easily just apex legends with rainbow 6 siege with a large map and capture the flag mechanic

It's just like every other game. That's why I have to fuse multiple games together to describe it

Perfectly said bro!

Yea this game just ain’t it for me. The skins look good and the movement on the horse is very impressive everything else about the game is underwhelming. But they said they don’t need a lot of people playing to succeed so I hope they stay up and make that money.

a sensible take in the crowd of noise 🙌

@Majora3RE

very well said

the only thing good about the game is the raid mode. the gunfights feel mid as fuck, 3v3 on those big ass maps is pointless and bland. they couldve added the raid mode to apex and it would’ve felt better

Nah, gunfights are good. "Big" map makes sense

that’s your opinion & I have mine. that’s the beauty of it

Yea

No BS review = BS review

Call it whatever you want, the majority of people think it's generic and boring. Bad optimization, forced motion blur, bland character, empty world and complicated gameplay mechanics will took a long time to fix. Meanwhile, there's dozen similar and better games out there.

I main Kai, and honestly his Ice Demon ultimate, maybe I'm doing it wrong but I'm not really getting many kills with it. I usually use it to protect the bomb and it works but that's about it. The only other good use I've had from it was pushing when my squad was pinned down.

Pro: it feels like apex Con: it feels like an apex limited game mode.

Nailed it.

Game feels great and the 3v3 If you play it enough makes sense. At first I thought maybe they should make it more players but with the small player count it makes teamwork and positioning feel more impactful. I think the raid mode is pretty unique. So much forced hate.

First neutral impression I have seen all day.

I find better connection/chemistry with my team whenever I I’m in a smaller squad of 2-4 people. Anymore and things get too competitive between teammates, tempers flair, arguments arise.

Thank you for the very grounded take.

I played LATE into the night last night. Very fun! Really enjoy it, especially with friends. There’s some shifty people out there, though! 👀

Hope to see you online! You should join us.

I'm there! I'll dm you my name

I just wish it had a 5v5 🙌my one con atm 🙌

The hype they let build with the game being shrouded in mystery and putting it in that slot at TGA made it so any flaws ppl had would be highetened tenfold. If this had an organic rollout this game would have its fambase despite the many flaws it has since they didnt playtest it

That's weird. Gamers are weird for that and too kneejerk and emotional.
