I'm now convinced 'Concord' is in serious trouble...

-----------------------------------------------------------------
Concord is a sci-fi player-versus-player hero shooter video game played from a first-person perspective. The game features a variety of alien characters, each with different abilities such as robot legs for high jumps and diamond skin for enhanced damage absorption. One of the groups within the game is known as the Freegunners, who are mercenaries. Some of the game mechanics include special equipment like healing pads and trip mines, which persist not only between deaths but also across rounds. Five playable characters unveiled are: Vale, Haymar, Star Child, Lennox, and the robot 1-Off. At launch, the game will feature 16 characters. The game will also have free post-launch updates that will add more characters, maps, vignettes, and more. Every week, the game will feature new vignettes that will show what Concord‘s characters are up to outside of gameplay in the Concord galaxy. The vignettes will tell an ongoing story, with characters receiving their own narrative arcs.

"If you don't like it, don't play it."

"WHY NO ONE PLAY IT!?"

[Arcademan]

If you preorder the game, they'll give you a matching pair of clown shoes

[CapitalTeeth]

A game made by committee, for an audience that doesn't exist.

[BombalurinaAI]

We are witnessing history.

A game. A new IP. That will never have Rule 34 made of it.

[utk]

People underestimate how much players care about characters.

In Brazil Concord is the same price as Cyberpunk 2077. Not worth it at all

[kawaiipastaaaa]

I cannot wait for the “super forced quirky characters whose designs are eyesores” trend to die off

My experience with Concord:
> Installed the game
> Was stuck in matchmaking for 10mins
> Decided it's not worth the time
> Uninstalled

[rawrdino]

This game legit looks like those fake movie games you see in the background

[JStorkey]

Wow a new hero shooter! Let's see what cool characters they have!

"Random old lady with machine gun and possibly magnet powers who even knows"
"TF2 Pyro but uglier"
"Uncanny alien man with pistols and grenade"
"Soldier 76 but uglier"
"Huge random man in blue coat"
"Talos from Paladins but uglier"
"Beige astronaut"
"Cypher from Valorant (her fit goes hard though ngl)"
"Giant trashcan"

They will NOT delay this game. They will release this game at $40 but 1-3 months from now it will be included in PS Plus (lowest tier) to keep it alive.

Gamers: Can you please stop ruining gaming for 5 min!

Major game companies: Here is our bug patching road map for our unfinished game and a new skin for purchase.

Concord has no problem, it's a game made specifically for the modern audience and the entire modern audience did show up to play it.

I don't want to play a game with characters that look like ordinary Walmart people. Skinny, old, short, fat, and some creepy no face diver suit. And they are running so slowly just like Walmart people should be.

One aspect not mentioned in the video, is PvP games with smaller communities tend to cannibalize themselves. The good players get really good. To cut down on match times, matchmaking becomes less picky, which leads to premade groups and or veterans repeatedly destroying new players. There aren't many people that enjoy being destroyed in PvP games for dozens of hours, until they reach a similar level of skill.

[jsharp]

It was in trouble as soon as they showed the

[djp]

I can't get over how abysmal the character designs are

It’s hard to fathom Sony had seven Live Service games in development, and this was one of them, makes you think how much Sony would lose players on PS5 if they had nothing but live service games to play.

[someguy]

People don't seem to realize how much the the character appearance matters.

What is the monetization for those games?
Skins, people buy skins, why? Because they like the look of the base character and they like the alternative look of it.

What cool looking badass(or sexy) character is in Concord?

They didn't make it for the avarage player of those games, they made it for their own focus group.

It doesn't matter if the gameplay is solid if the thene is boring/ugly, presentation matters alot in a "live-service"

And it goes double so if the gane is generic and boring.

Look at the First Descendent and look at this, it's night and day, of course those are different genres, but I still think it is relevant.

I don't understand, how is it that games with potential get ruined by greedy mandates and poor leadership, like Overwatch, what were they doing for all those years while the game was dying? Because they cancelled PvE.

And games like Concord and S*icide Squad get a huge budget to flush down the toilet because the people in charge get too much freedom to ignore what the general audience wants and focus on a none existing audience.

I know physical attraction is subjective and it really doesn't matter in the grand scheme of things, but these are genuinely some of of the ugliest characters I've seen in a video game.
