Concord - robots with pronouns

  • 🔧 At about Midnight EST I am going to completely fuck up the site trying to fix something.
So, YIIK keeps dubbing on the not so bad it's good games?

This just reinforces my opinion once again that there's no such thing as a 'game for everyone' as the target audience for this game is so diluted into shit making it beyond playable, it's just not worth pandering to this phantom audience.

People play a game cause they like or can relate to the characters mentality, personality, values ... or simpler yet; because it has good gameplay and interesting story, not because of their skin colour and or their range of mental/physical disabilities; 'Oh yeah I totally relate to Concord's bipolar schizo fat fuck of a character in a blue vest cause it looks like me' said no sane person ever.

Whoever these game developers are they are so out of touch with reality and so far up their own ass that instead of analyzing their mistakes and taking the L they are going full meltdown on Social Media calling critics 'talentless freaks' while circlejerking their own ilk as 'insanely talented'.

I highly doubt many on that dev team are that talented if they need 8 years to develop a steaming pile of shit; they're more likely the major game studio rejects who can't cope with being mid as fuck at their job.

As much as I doubt this will change much in the video game industry on the short term it's another example of death by a thousand cuts for the mainstream.

It's sad they aren't even the top in the "bad games" genre when you compare it to recent ones. Even Gollum had more players, lmao. And I got way more enjoyment out of that game than this, I never played it but it was fun seeing streamers rage out because Gollum non-stop deciding to kill himself mid-jump. I also had a lot of fun seeing people's baffling reactions to the recent monke game (King Kong, the .exe was named that lol)

I have zero interest in watching people play this to make fun of it, much less play it myself even if it was free. Just looks boring and bland as fuck. I don't even care enough to laugh at the characters. Even compared to terrible woke designs, it's still somehow bland. I got more enjoyment out of the woke tumblr art thread we have on here. If I wanted to laugh at woke character designs, I'd just go browse that thread.

I have more interest in the coomer furry game that was posted earlier than this, and I avoid all furry games like the plague. Speaking of steam tags, I wish furry was one so I could block it. Honestly surprised steam still lets you block fag games.

All they had to do was design sexy furry/monster characters and they would've had the wallets of the furry fandom by the balls

but noooo they had to do gay humans, something no one wants to cough up money for and humans being the things furries hate the most. dumbasses.

Someone beat them to that idea.

edit: this studio is going to make so much money off of monied furfags I bet it'll cause at least a few xitter meltys from entrenched AAA devs.

At this point I'm just assuming they hate black women and want everybody to think they're all ugly.

Yes.
As a comparison, here's Rochelle (Left 4 Dead 2 - 2009) and her face model Shanola Hampton:

But then jump to 2016, when Left 4 Dead's "spiritual successor" Dead by Daylight comes out and we get Claudette Morel. I don't know who her face model is, but you can look at the designs. She was cute in the concept art, but they updated her to look the way she does in game to what you see below.

This is the 2021 model

Here she is wearing Rochelle's clothes as one of her costumes:

These are some of the ugliest characters I've ever seen designed. I don't understand how developers forgot that people like seeing good looking people.

If you want nigs and fags and what have you just make them attractive/appealing to look at. It's really not that hard to get people to accept your retarded ideologies if you dress it up nicely.

Look at Baldur's Gate 3; filled with gay shit but people still liked it because 1: it was a good game and 2: the main characters didn't look like your average LA orc-goblin mix.

One of the big features driving Overwatch's success was character design. In fact if these developers were paying attention one of the major lessons they'd have learned from OW's success is just how important stylistic features of a game are in getting casuals in the door, since mechanically OW wasn't even that special. If it wasn't for people really liking the characters and spreading them around it would've never taken off like it did (although I'm sure the rise of e-sports streaming around the time played a significant role).

My belief: In this era if you can't see anyone using your characters as a pfp, making fanart, buying merch, or looking up porn of them, you may as well toss that shit right in the trash.

OW was actually pretty shit from a gameplay standpoint (can't wait for the trashcan from the resident blizzdrone), what it had was a big brand name back when blizzard meant something, and marketable coomer designs. it wasn't even that sexualized in itself, it simply had attractive characters people wanted more r34 of.

all they really had to do is make a slightly sexy tf2 or casual shooter instead of trying to replicate the lobotomized tryhard tf2 clone blizzard shat out.

otoh that didn't even work for foamstars, maybe the industry is in such a run-down state even that doesn't work anymore...

To be fair the PC version requires a PSN account to play so the low numbers are likely because of that. I wish there was a console player count site.

I doubt it has crossplay because it would fuck with people on gamepad, so why the fuck add PSN after it went over so well with helldivers?

I just had an interesting thought : what if a majority of people playing were just people promoting it as part of business?

I can see most of the player count being people who are farming the game for youtube videos. With added paid streamer shills. Shitting on bad woke games is growing trend now on youtube. If we come back in a week, you will see the dire numbers of the true believers and the people who are playing to to stick it to the CHUDS.

Cracks were showing as far back as MNC and its replacement SMNC. Despite having similar humor (albeit fewer secksee characters than OW and more complicated designs than TF2), and a crosspromo with TF2 itself, both games died. There were MOBA elements in both, and Uberent put a cryptomining kernel (in SMNC I think?) but that's beside the point.

TF2 should just release a genderswapped version and call it a day. They already have Makani on staff.
