SHIT

This game is literally the worst piece of shit I've ever played in my life. Not going to lie.

It's the most generic store brand shooter. Yeah, I I can't do it. So, did you play Arc Raiders? I was bad at that. Yeah, I was bad at that, too. Anyway, uh it doesn't matter. Point is, this game, it looks like it's like an AI. It feels like it's an AI generated combination of like avowed Fortnite and uh yeah, maybe Apex.

It feels like a badly optimized amalgam of desperate elements stitched together without enough thought or testing. And as such, I think most people can sit this one out until the future of High Guard becomes clear.

I just don't see the revolutionary aspect to it — it just seems like slower Apex arenas with more of an objective focus. I don't know, it's just not clicking for me.

It's another sort of hero shooter that looks kind of uninspired and it looks like they're just trying to throw money at marketing it just like Concord and Suicide Squad did.

I really really hope that this initial negative reception isn't going to do enough damage for them to have to like rethink their investment in the game
