Comment on As player numbers fall, Highguard makes the actually-quite-good 5v5 mode permanent

Highguard has an art style that is primarily concerned with selling cosmetics instead of delivering a hopefully unique vision.
Highguard, Finals, and many more have this “everything goes” therefore nothing matters style.
It’s a call sign, that Deadlocks beta-design on old heroes has more vision.
It although shows, that hero shooters are not at the end possibilities.

The Finals at least is a fun as fuck game. The everything goes style also kinda makes sense considering the game is taking place in some kind of VR and both mocking of this kind of live service while being a live service game itself.

Yeah and I feel that Finals at least has a bit of style in it - basically a dystopian corporate unserious “we are quirky” “please the rich overlords” vibe Which sounds annoying af considering that it’s a reflection of a real world but actually works pretty well for some reason Also cosmetics are legitimately good - finger akimbo guns, stick revolver and bao buns grenade launcher are hilarious I do think it’s one of the reasons why game is almost dead though - style is pretty bland on the surface which is why I skipped it initially until I tried to actually play it and was hooked
