Getting that show-closing trailer slot at the Game Awards really just completely torpedoed this game's chances. Absolutely took a mediocre to possibly okay game and turned everyone against it before it ever had a chance. I doubt they'll ever recover.

Can you explain? I don't follow these things

Highguard had submitted a trailer to be shown during the Game Awards, and the showrunner was so enamored with the game that he chose to give it the coveted last slot. That meant the awards show which had thus far had some really impressive announcements closed with a trailer for this firmly mid looking game, and people were pissed. It meant ending on a pretty low note compared to some of what had been seen.

Some people thought incorrectly that Highguard had bought this last slot, but overall it did a lot to turn sentiments against the game, a hurdle they've been trying to overcome ever since.

Oof that's unfortunate

Outside of performance, most responses are "it's alright" it's not blowing anyone's mind

Unless a game looks right up my alley, "mixed" and below is usually an automatic skip to the next thing in the discovery queue.
