Concord - robots with pronouns

All concord heroes look like they are so retarded that they have to wear cushioned clothes. It's not "protect me from mashinegun fire" armor, but "protect me from hitting my face with a door while opening it" armor
Holy shit, you hit the nail on the head, that’s exactly what it is. When I first saw the designs I was distracted by just how… squishy and blubbery they all seem (no, not in a deathfat sense.) It’s like they’re made of plastic pool floats.

I mean, one character is literally wearing a bucket for a "helmet" much like a child playing astronaut would. Soyny knows their audience.
 
The way Jap entrepreneurs work, they're strongly hierarchical to the point it's inconcievable for an underling to question his boss' absolute plan for total victory and the top is a totally clueless and out of touch gerontocracy whos business acumen boils down to "people like X, put more X in our product". You see that in restaurants, where management notices people buying a lot of dishes with bacon in it, so they put more bacon in everything, even vegetarian ones. Grunts take the responsibility for failure, while managers get promoted for it as long as they kowtow low enough to their superiors. Sony and Konami are like that.

It's to the point where some companies literally hire Americans whose jobs it is to point out how fucking stupid some of the plans of the higher ups are. Which is both hilarious and sad.
 
It's not even about tits or ass. Just think about the design itself. I knowa bit about design, so I'll elaborate below.

1 - They chose the blandest pallette color for the character.
2 - There's nothing interesting about it. It can be sumed up as "spacer with rocket launcher".
3 - It has nothing designating their class, other than the weapon. TF2 figured this out decades ago. The explosive guy has explosives on his belt, plus injuries from the natural colateral damage from explosives with the eyepatch. The devil is always on the details.
4 - Samus's space suit is iconic due to it's color pallette, design, gadgets and abilities. This one has nothing, you can't even point out where there's a life support system or the place to store more rockets.
5 - Tits or ass don't really matter. Sure, you can have it. But you shouldn't rely on it as a crutch for character appeal or desgin. I have seen people thirst for old hags in suits because they have appealing designs.

Most of the other characters have the same primary problem. They rely far too much on their weapons. If you photoshopped the weapons from them you wouldn't be able to tell what they are supposed to be. You do that with TF2 characters and you can still guess their roles correctly.
There is also zero indication that she can fly.
 
saw this in my friend group. Looks like the design was a big fucked up afterall....

The funny thing is that sacrificing Chloe seems the one option that genuinely makes sense.
Indeed.

IMHO the absolute best way to play LiS and Before the Storm is to play LiS up through chapter 3 then play Before the Storm then finish up LiS.

Talk about an experience.

Those two games also have excellent soundtracks.

As for Concord.... Fucking LOL Amazon wasted MILLIONS on it's CGI sections when it could have just done more 40k.... Lol indeed
 
8 fucking years of development only for it to be shut down within just 2 weeks, fucking unbelievable mess.
The whiplash when Sony leadership inevitably blames this on the white piggu misleading them and half of the studios along the west coast get shuttered will be hilarious
 
Yea but the guy who wrote it burned all his credibility. When the committee changes, as elections sway. His ass is going to be left with nothing. It is all well and good saying he does not lose today. But in 3 years when all his committee friends are up for re-election and lose their seats. Then he is going to be crawling back. More right winger causes are gaining momentum in Europe right now, despite attempts to sabotage it. In 10 years we will have to once again point out how a kid playing a video game is not a school shooter or summoning the devil by playing D&D. Because the nutter Christians will be back in cultural power.

Most right wing Europeans aren't the same as Republicans. There are some fundies, but they are not nearly as prevalent.

They are more anti-immigrant focused xenophobes (BASED) and not bible thumpers.

I was talking in hyperbole in that last part man.

Edit: Supposedly this is one of the artists having a cry on twitter.
If true, we have a flawless victory on our hands bros. They are all on the edge of ACking their careers.
Last image is last week of them being smug that the chuds have lost. My how the tables have turned.
Edit the Edit:The account is now protected because they are a bitch who could not handle the dunks. But just by posting this she seems to have confirmed that the CEOs came down with the nigga whipper 9000 and shouted at them to STFU with the woke niggas as it just lost them money and reputation.
She says many of the artists are considering quitting. Meaning the CEOs have probably seen the discourse online about DEI designs.

if it takes the entire industry crashing down to flush out all those faggots be my fucking guest. its not like i need them to play fucking total wrestling extreme
Yup! I've still got my beloved Factorio, truck and space sims (and space trucking sims), city builders, and myriad other single-player offline-only games in my library. I can play every game in my library once and still not run out of new stuff to play for a decade. Fuck this industry. Let it rot.
 
The execs do not care or know about the product - but even they realize that products have a shelf life. You can release a game, sell DLC for a while, make a sequel, and (now) put it on ice for a while and release a remaster/updated version. A game does not last forever.
Even Gaming Execs know that not every game is going to be a franchise (aka a Final Fantasy or Call of Duty)
You have an incredibly rosy picture of the understanding that execs have of the markets their products are in. Bungie bet the farm on the already long-in-the-tooth Destiny 2 being able to finance the development of multiple new games over a period of 4+ years, with two of those new games having been cancelled, one spun off to a separate studio by their parent company, and the sole survivor having a strong chance of a Redfall-esque hard landing (it won't be Concord-level bad, there will be at least some interest in it).
