Concord - robots with pronouns

I am not well versed in the inner mechanics and rules of the game developer industry, but it should've been crystal clear that this overwatch clone #341 would've never made any actual money, long before 8 years of development have passed.
You cannot tell me the people who worked on this didn't know they were making a game set up for failure.
 
On a slightly off-topic tangent, this guy has done several videos basically criticizing Concord and it's unfixable character designs, and he recently did a follow-up video to the increase in subscriber count, basically saying that he doesn't care for the attention, doesn't want "fans" or to be worshipped, and says "Those who crave power will abuse it, and those who crave money will never have enough". This guy is already 50,000,000 times more humble than PirateSoftware (Jason "Thor" Hall).

I can fix her... I mean she's basically just Samus Aran wearing a goofy helmet. All she needs is literally just some tits and ass and maybe better colors and you got an alright design.

Do you want to know how bad were the character designs on this game? That character (Roka) is supposed to be the equivalent to Pharah from Overwatch. You know the chick that can fly and shoot rockets.

This could be the first time you see Pharah and without knowing anything about her, you'll know she can fly.


In contrast, how does this stupid thing visually communicates it can fly?

It doesn't. The character designs of this game are irredeemable trash .
 
I wonder how much time would it take for Matt McMuscles guy to create his "What happend" on Concord and how much he gonna downplay obvious problems. He already watered down Saints row and Suicide squad, so i guess he never gonna mention pronouns or sexualities or ugly design. Even if he will mention designs, he gonna blame audience.
And I really cannot understand why people bring up Overwatch if Concord called woke. Not only latter has 1(one) white dude (most plane guy in existence), while former had McCree and 76 and Rein and Junk and Roadhog, every girl were sexy in some way.
Does Matt have his own lolcow thread here? He's said some really retarded and lulzy shit over the years.

This design is actually somehow more generic than a piece of white bread.
 
I would like to think that DEI is the reason this game failed, but then you see other DEI games doing relatively well, most notably games like Apex Legends. The reality is this game's failure is because the development was greenlit 6 years ago Overwatch was its peak and then stayed in a development hell cycle only to release years after the Hero Shooter genre became oversaturated with corpses of those that failed outside of OW and they couldn't simply cancel midway due to the $200m dev cycle.
 
Battleborn flopped because it came out at the same time as Overwatch. Within a couple weeks and this was also nearing the height of the Marvel movie popularity. Overwatch better encapsulated the 'Superhero' cultural zeitgeist. It's extremely funny that Battleborn gave players everything that Overwatch players wanted just 4-5 years too early.

The guy mentioned a few posts up, Sungrand Studios, made a very accurate observation about this character: the design is so bland, it communicates "mass fodder enemy", not playable character.
And absolutely, you can imagine a bunch of these showing up to get mowed down by you. Even the red visor, the sole standout point in the design, works as something clear you can aim at.
It's a generic enemy design.

How the fuck did it end up as a main character?

This article came out yesterday lol

God what I wouldnt give to be a fly on the wall to all the people who worked on this game getting the news that it was getting shut down after 2 fcking weeks 😂
I couldn't help but look him up on youtube. What I got was George Floyd with a terrible wig and even worse bolt-on tits gyrating on a stage singing "It's raining THEM, hallelujah". There's also a comically fat background dancer that shows up a bit later.

No but seriously, that is clearly George fucking Floyd. I knew there was something fishy. He's not dead, they just trooned him out and they thought we wouldn't notice. Noone did for four years, but now they inadvertently spilled the beans due to the world's shittiest videogame.

 
I really have 0 idea why they are so assblasted. I know it took them 8 years.
But leftists usually love super late term abortions.
They're assblassted because they project themselves into pretty much everything that puts their ilk at the forefront. Be it games, movies, series, etc.

If it is criticized and insulted, they feel criticized and insulted. And being a bunch of sheltered creatures, they cannot take it well at all.

Even if you point out time and again that the timing for this game was incredibly off, they wont hear it. Concord had to be a success because... because... IT HAD TO BE, OKAY?

The best we got is the Best friends thread in this subforum but even then Matt's not really mentioned unless he makes a particularly gigantic ass of himself that day

Battleborn was just ugly and visually repulsive looking. Everything from the characters to the GUI. It felt like a bootlegged copy of Overwatch.

Even if it wasn't turbowoke: the game the fact that it took them 8 years and 200-300 million to make a shitty overwatch clone its embarrassing enough. You can tell this project started at the height of wokeness but they were too lazy to get it out before normies got sick of this shit.

Press S to spit, RIP bozo, et al.

As for the concord devs in their future jobs: I do want fries with that1725402733184.png

I guess they'll have to change all the characters pronouns to was/were :smug:

Why the fuck would you ever make a 200 million Dollar videogame? I'm no Business guy, but that idea sounds stupid.
They were clearly hoping to emulate the success of a game like Overwatch, which was originally $40 on PC and $60 when it launched on console. That brought in over a billion dollars in revenue in its first year.

In 2024 though, it was a dumb move to release a live service shooter with a $40 price tag attached to it; one that takes elements from a handful of other games that you can play for free, but doesn't really do anything original. Why pay $40 for this when you can play Overwatch 2, Valorant, Marvel Rivals, Apex Legends, Fortnite etc. for free, where you have games that are more polished with huge player bases?
