Concord died, so Colin could grow.

defending highgaurd is copium, stale gameplay, stale artstyle, stale story, how is that anyone's fault but the developers

I’m not sure how you can say ‘it’s not fair’ what happened to to Highguard. It’s free to play had almost 100k players after trying it out pretty much nobody liked it. I don’t have any problem with the game but blaming the audience for the lack of performance of a product is just ridiculous.

I'm down for giving the Horizon one a go if it's a Monster Hunter game just using robot monsters.

Saint Slayer is coming out 4/20 judging by the little chortles from Lock and Brad

I dont understand whats so confusing about "make characters that people wanna play as". Somehow all the push back from the audience is seen as "haters". Ok. they can keep losing money then i guess

Just want to say, where winds meet isn't a gatcha like zzz, genshin ect. It's this weird actions rpg game with mmo elements. The gatcha is outfits that offer no gameplay just looks. It's kinda insane what the game offers

Arc Raiders art design and characters is awesome to me. Avengers failed because of Art Design and Characters. Concord Failed because of Character and Art Design. High guard art design and characters does not appeal to me. Horizon Hunters Gathering art design and characters look horrible to me and Forbidden west is one of my favourite games of all time. Helldivers 2 was partly successful because of Art Design and charcters

I'm certainly not a hater and my only experience with live service is The Division. For me however, video game characters need to be either cool or cute, or both. Looking at the Horizon Hunters Gathering trailer, these characters are neither one nor the other. I platinumed and loved Horizon ZD, haven't felt the urge yet to play FW and CotM, but Hunters Gathering I wouldn't even play if you payed me for it.
