Concord - robots with pronouns

[Gerelatha]

This shitheap flopped more gloriously than I ever could have imagine, not even breaking quadruple digits.
I guess those “modern audiences” only exist on twitter and in the fantasies of Jewish executives.

That 600 player count is even worse in practice. That's 600 players WORLDWIDE. The chances of you finding other players at your skill level AND region at the exact same time is next to zero. I would not be surprised if this game has zero players next week.

Paul Tassi is losing his cool because people don't like that woke Concord game, that Paul Tassi is cucking for and hoping Concord makes it to the Top 10 PlayStation games of all time.

He's just another delusional journo who believe an audience for this game could exist, say what you will about Destiny 2, but at least theres 27k Normalfags on the game during graveyard hours, meanwhile this slop will be in double digits by next week

Yep, 600 is in the “unrecoverable death spiral“ territory, it’s best for them to just cut their losses and abandon it now rather than even bother paying to keep the servers up or god forbid attempt to “save” it with updates

Lawbreakers looks like a fantastic forgotten gem compared to this piece of shit. This is where we're at culturally, folks.

And the other metrics of this game are telling how terrible the player count is, i.e. the game isn't even in the Top 20 according to PSN Profiles, the game is only in the top 20s and 30s in the PSN Store, you have to go the 30s in the Top New Releases in EGS to see Concord, and Amazon pre-orders were terribly low too. Those numbers are even worse than Artifact, Redfall, and LawBreakers, to the point that Sony's probably already preparing to write the game off completely as a total loss.

Is Sony allowed to just stop updates on the game, since they announced that Concord would have at least 3 seasons of content? EA had to keep Battlefield 2042 going for at least 4 Seasons (the game would get 7 Seasons total), even though it had a terrible launch, because that was advertised (1 Year Season Pass) in the more expensive versions of the game. Or can they just shutdown Firewalk completely, so that they don't have to make those 3+ seasons of content and cutoff the game completely?

Concord's soundtrack is also available now, but how many people would even bother to listen to the music of a dead on arrival game?

this shit isn’t dead on arrival, the spermatozoa supposed to conceive it was dead in the sack

I don't think the characters having pronouns affected Concord's sales much. Most gamers will tolerate small amounts of woke stuff if the end product is good.

However I do think that the ugly ass heroes DID seriously hurt the game. Like look at this shit. Their faces and bodies look like they were intentionally made to be unattractive. Their outfits’ colors are somehow both garish and washed-out at the same time. (As many others have said, they look like someone hit "randomize" in a character creator.)



And despite trying to be "diverse", all of the human characters look generic enough that they start to blend together. I think they were originally meant to be more stylized, but somewhere along the line the art direction changed to be photo real, and the already shitty designs became boring and uncanny-looking.

First impressions are everything. A lot of people have gotten into Overwatch, or even less successful hero-based games (e.g. Battleborn) because a particular character caught their eye. Nobody is looking at Concord and saying "hell yeah, I want to play as the fat puke-green dollar store Space Marine".

There's absolutely some fun to be had here.

I checked myself and the tags were gone.
Now, depending on how you look at it, it's incredibly funny.
Why did the fags went back into the closet? Afraid? Mad? Why aren't they out and proud like in their social media unhinged rants?
Is this a glimpse that nature is finally healing?

 

[ChucklesTheJester]

No, if that was the case this sony would have pulled the plug years ago. I wouldn't be surprised if they trying to get the games into the eyes of people who black list those very same tags.
Despite it already being too late and the cats out of the bag.

It going to be funny to see if the left now eat this game for this act of treason.

The only thing people will remember about this game are all the fat jokes made by Fleekazoid at the far right blue trenchcoat buffet warrior
BTW, what's with the orange outfit woman(?) on the right of fatso here? Is she wearing a popcorn bucket as a space helmet, like a little kid would?

dont forget why lawbreaker failed...

Bleszinski notes he’s been “wracking my brain” in regards to what he could’ve done differently with LawBreakers. He believes that his “own personal political beliefs” could have played a part, contrasting with a “world that was increasingly divided.”

He went into more detail about this further on in the post: “Instead of the story being ‘this game looks neat’ it became ‘this is the game with the ‘woke bro’ trying to push his hackey politics on us with gender neutral bathrooms.’ Instead of ‘these characters seem fun’ it was ‘this is the studio with the CEO who refuses to make his female characters sexier.’ Instead of ‘who am I going to choose’ it became ‘white dude shoehorns diversity in his game and then smells his own smug farts in interviews’ instead of just letting the product … speak for itself.”

the concord developers pretty much repeated bleszinski failure.

 

[kiwirevolving]

I don't usually go to the Steam forums of a game

but Concord's is a feast lol



remind me how much money Sony poured into this game. however much they did, it just shows how out of touch Sony is

this shit barely had 2400 players on Steam during the beta when it was free. what made Sony think that it would become any more popular if they charged $40 for it?

This a 100%.

People scream too loud about woke shit in games as if it matters. Ultimately, it would have sold if this game played well and did not look ugly. I know it is a different genre, but take Baldurs Gate 3 and Street Fight 6.

A lot of people were crying about those games being WOKE and degenerate and whatever else you wanted to throw at them, but they both sold a lot and did well.

In the end, it all comes down to look and gameplay.

I think it's an overall improvement.

This is a bomb of colossal proportions. I will be shocked if this studio still exists by the end of the year.

the girl with the bucket head could have been a cyborg with a fishtank head with an real goldfish in it and it would have been and actual character instead of looking like a downy space janitor.

 

[LillWeeb]

Everybody gathering online to watch this game fail and see how low the numbers could go it's the very opposite of palworld

I like how Volvo decided to unveil their own iteration of hero shooter this week just to clown on this abortion further.

Yeah I dont see people buying skins for these characters. The Pink haired cat like lady with elf like ears actually seems promising and would appeal to a certain coomer subset, but notice they make her flat as a board. No visible curves at all. Two of the other characters look like direct Apex Legends rip offs with inferior execution and then I just have no words for the two blobs.
