Sweet Baby Inc. and the Steam Curator Group Conspiracy - The company that is responsible for the diarrheic video game writing.

Let’s get back on topic, tits are great, but why should I have to go through a bunch of obnoxious accessibility menus to start a game before installing? Can’t retards get their helper to go to set that shit for them?

This is what I wanted to say:

I've never run into this. About the only settings I can recall ever needing to set before just getting to the game itself(other than adjusting graphics/sound/etc.) are things like brightness adjustment, and maybe language/subtitles.

What I want to know is why some games don't ask which mode you want to play a game in, and worse still why they obnoxiously assume you'll want to play in quality mode that completely tanks performance.

I only made it through the first level of Jedi Survivor before I had to go into settings to see why it was running like absolute dogshit, and even after turning off all the stupid effects and setting it to performance mode there was still constant screen-tearing.

Dave, it was actually a failure on several fronts. You had SBI doing that garbage it does, shitty devs making a shitty looter shooter instead of a solid single-player experience, and retarded execs forcing microtransactions in yet another game that didn't need them. Mix it together and you get another AAA slopfest that no one wanted to play or buy.

On the flip side, they also got to waste a ton of money creating contractually obligated DLC for the 37 people that still played the game.

It's certainly not the only reason it failed, but the original launch trailer got shit on long before anyone had heard of SBI purely because of showing the suicide squad guys running and jumping around stupidly shooting things with guns, to the point of the game getting delayed so they could "re-work" it(whatever the hell that meant) and it was still a shitty live service game featuring a cast of characters most people didn't give a shit about jumping around and shooting guns when they aren't even really known for shooting guns

It's King Shark literally flying around the world map, not even having to zipline and glide like batman... what the fuck?

And that's Captain Boomerang teleporting around and... shooting guns. At least the teleport thing is something that he throws so it's kind of like captain boomerang? but not really.

No one fucking wanted this as a game. The SBI bullshit with "mrs freeze" and harley quinn girlbossing around just made it do worse than it was already going to do.

Thank god he has a thread in PG. Man is an absolute worthy lolcow.
He's an awful person that talks a ton of hot shit then when he posts a photo of himself he looks like a scrawny late stage cancer patient with a nasty colored wig on.
Fresh Meat 2025 award if that thread is done well.

I doubt SBI by itself could single-handedly tank something otherwise good, but even hiring this scam company is strongly suggestive of something that is going to be absolute shit nearly 100% of the time.

I've not seen anyone complain about woke stuff in Suicide Squad --prior to the cringe seasonal content that gender-swapped Mr Freeze (but not his wife)-- and I have watched a lot of post mortems on this flop because I love trash fires.

99% of the complaints are about the boring repetitive gameplay, the unfinished story and the fact it's excruciatingly obvious the game was originally planned around a lootbox model that was scrapped partway through development.

Nearly every video regarding the game talked about the disrespect shown to male heroes and how WW is glazed in comparison.

I've never seen that mentioned, specifically, only the controversy about the Batman death because it was Kevin Conroy's last performance.

Maybe it's because I've started actively blocking any channel on YouTube that has 'WOKE?!?' in the thumbnail or title, though.

Well it might be on you then. I will admit though that the videos mentioning the treatment of the males have decreased after it became common knowledge.

There's an attempt by various lefties to downplay the cause of these major flops. From blaming a "hate campaign" to saying Concord failed because the character design had too many circles.

A lot of YouTubers who make "why did they fail" type videos are also either lefties or cowards afraid of being cancelled, and will exclude woke from the list of reasons why these games failed. I won't be at all surprised if, when Assassins Creed Shadows bombs, they try to blame it on management and angry YouTubers, and ignore the racism issues.

This is Fedsmoker levels of conspiracy theory. I kind of dig it. YOU FUCKING CIRCLE DRAWER.

I think Nerdslayer did this in his Death Of A Game episode on Concord, shortly before sperging out in the comments of another one of his videos.

Again most of the coverage I've watched seemed to approach it pretty even-handedly saying regardless of how you feel about the diverse cast it was just a shit game and would have failed either way, but I've definitely seen game journos on social media trying to circle the wagons and say there was absolutely nothing wrong with those ugly-ass characters.

Which is just pure cope.
It was not bad, just a by the numbers hero shooter with hideously ugly character design.

Now to something completely unrelated, a by the numbers third person hero shooter with the following character design:


Everyone who covers the catastrophic failure of Concord and downplays, or even outright dismisses, the main influence of the characters, whose design was clearly influenced by intersectionalism, is either a useful idiot or an activist.

This is for the sake of the thread, not really as a response to you personally because I know you're a regular in the Concord thread.

They tried to have it multiple ways. One moment the game was bland and boring, the next it was the gameplay was misunderstood and innovative, the next it was the live service model, the next it was the price point, etc, but never the character designs/pronouns. What's really exceptional is that because every facet of the game was absolute ass, any vector of criticism was valid so it was super easy for the urinalist and jewtuber castes to ignore the real stinky. Keep in mind that the teaser for the game from a year and a half ago attracted zero attention and provided zero information. It wasn't until the state of play trailer this year that anyone even heard of the game. Nothing in the trailer screams unmitigated disaster until this:

This fat poojeeta literally killed the game. Up until this point in the trailer, all we knew that it was a 5v5 hero shooter. That alone isn't enough to sink a game, even if it would elicit a groan from all but the least jaded. Dear God I wish I could have seen some of the live chats when this fucking monstrosity showed its face. Go back and watch the trailer. It's simply boring and uninspired. Nothing there screams engaging. The only notable quality is the uggos and the pronouns. It wasn't until much much later that we found out what the monetization model was, how gimped the gameplay was, how dumb the modes were, and so on. So to bring it back around, the activist crowd is doing everyone a disservice by not pointing out first and foremost that it was indeed the unbelievably bad characters that killed the game. Imagine a $400m poo in the loo.

Now to something completely unrelated, a by the numbers third person hero shooter with the following character design:

Is this Marvel Rivals? I recognise the green lady from Thor 3. I'm not sure what point you're making here, because it's hardly fair to compare Concord to a game with Marvel branding on it. The MCU might be on life support but there is still a lot of love for those characters.

Everyone who covers the catastrophic failure of Concord and downplays, or even outright dismisses, the main influence of the characters, whose design was clearly influenced by intersectionalism, is either a useful idiot or an activist.

I disagree. The designs definitely made things worse, but even if they'd been good the game still would have flopped because nobody wanted it. Certainly nobody wanted to pay $40 for it.

Pinning the blame on the DEI stuff feels like the people who say the new Star Wars movies sucked because of Rey and black man, and not because they were passionless cash grabs that were written on the fly to culminate in one of the funniest conclusions to a trilogy in cinema history.

This is why the Marvel Rivals discourse sends them into a rage. By the numbers hero shooter with all the usual problems, but somewhat attractive character designs. Blows games like Suicide Squad and Concord out of the water.

I think them having the "DEI stuff" is a product of them being "passionless cash grabs", though. It's not exactly right to say the DEI is why they're bad, but why they're bad is why there's DEI. Saying "everything with gay nigger sex hamfisted into it is low quality entertainment" is much easier, more generalizable, and often true enough to be useful to go off of; rather than getting specific into details with things like Star Wars's Palpatine asspull or Dragon Age Veilguard's poorly executed story-branching mechanics.
Concord died because it offered nothing special as a game; but it was much easier to see it's imminent lack of value or purpose before it ever came out, from the second you could see the screencap in a trailer of the character select screen featuring a fat minority woman with pronouns listed.

This is why the Marvel Rivals discourse sends them into a rage. By the numbers hero shooter with all the usual problems, but somewhat attractive character designs. Blows games like Suicide Squad and Concord out of the water.

It also succeeds at the aspects that Concord and Suicide Squad failed at, offering something special (beloved Marvel characters, not Concord's genderblob troons) and being an actually enjoyable game (the everpopular competitive online shooter genre with acceptable gameplay, not Suicide Squad's shitty attempt at aping looter games with mediocre gameplay).

 

[X Prime]

I don't know why it's so unbelievable for some people that character design (read: whether they can inspire masturbation material) can make or break a game.

Even Warframe degenerates talk about the asses in that game.

 

[Oliver Onions]

Yeah I think that sums it up perfectly. Where you find one you will inevitably find the other, but also all the other shit that has turned AAA into a money furnace (loot boxes, season passes, server issues, broken code etc).

I don't know why it's so unbelievable for some people that character design (read: whether they can inspire masturbation material) can make or break a game.

It's not that it's unbelievable, it's specifically the implication that it was the characters being non-white and having pronouns that was the problem, as opposed to them being ugly and boring by any metric.

Even if you color-corrected everyone in Concord to be an Aryan ubermensch they'd still look like shit because they're nothing but 'we have Guardians of The Galaxy at home' bootlegs. It was OC Donut Steel: The Game.

 

[ZMOT]

The MCU might be on life support but there is still a lot of love for those characters.

depends who you ask, most of the MCU phase 4 and 5 has been flops, as has been most shit on TV. people often blamed "superhero fatigue" just like "hero shooter fatigue" after concord flopped, but then you have stuff like deadpool vs wolverine becoming "the 20th-highest-grossing film of all time, the highest-grossing R-rated film of all time and the second-highest-grossing film of 2024."

rivals' reception is in large part due to it's design, and then being a serviceable-good game. I can pretty much guarantee a lot less people would even give it the time of day if it would look like your average disney capeshit slop.

for example:




the point of sex sells is that it gives you the eyeballs, but just like wokeshit doesn't matter if the rest is dogshit. that's why you have something attractive on the cover to catch attention in the mix of all the other covers. this is basic bitch marketing knowledge, but of course if someone doesn't care how much a game sells it doesn't really matter.
but to get that first positive impression and attention for people to notice it and be even willing to give it a try, you need to catch eyeballs.

they're nothing but 'we have Guardians of The Galaxy at home' bootlegs. It was OC Donut Steel: The Game.

borderlands still sells well enough even with it's abysmal writing.
problem is even normalfags can only take so much millennial writing, walmart GOTG could still be fun if done in earnest and better marketing, but none of that really happened for concord. they just assumed ticking all the boxes and doing "all the right things" like cartoon shorts will automatically sell the game. I can't really call it malevolence since they seem to have tried, but more the culmination of a lot of incompetence and stupidity (which is the inevitable consequence of wokeshit when DEI is more important than merit).
