“Can’t games just suck anymore?” You’re real for that 😂

Is it possible for Concord to rival the

We got the B tier and the Decidueye memorial tier. Now comes the Concord tier.

Sony gave 200M dollars and 8 years to a completely new studio.
At the same time, they shut down established, competent, successful and cherished studios.

Firewalk Studios was given the kingdom's keys because they promised to make a hero shooter... I really can't empathize with Sony, they're idiots!

Can you even comprehend 5-8 years of your life’s work, 10-12 hour days, 5-6 days a week… and it’s just gone. Yes the check cleared for the devs, but that’s years of your life just canceled. My heart goes out to the hard workers behind the scenes.

Humans are pattern recognition machines. People have noticed bad games and good games turned bad are almost always run into the ground by the same type of individuals.

Gamers don't hate, unless you are actively destroying their free time and wasting their money. The past 5 years or so have taught us the warning signs and we are harder to manipulate.

It's a failed IP. I don't know how these character design got the greenlight. They even made some high quality cinematic trailer with these characters but nobody cares. Even without the payment upfront, there is no way to monetize these characters. It is just a disaster.

Does this mean you won't be making a new channel focusing only on Concord? 😔

Never heard of this game or the drama but this was fascinating. Thanks for making me aware of this, Cowboy

I think it really is that simple. You can have as much “character building” or diversity quotas as you want but if your game is bad it’s bad. Simple. You can also have none of those things and still make a bad game. I’m all for different representation in video games but most time it feels so shallow and adds nothing substantial to a plot besides LOOK LOOK WE DID THE THING. Yeah anyone can do the thing but almost no one can do it right so just don’t do it at all at this point.

Concord is just mid and nothing more. Mid characters, mid gameplay, mid worldbuilding, and probably mid soundtrack too. To be honest, I don't know if the game deserved to fail this hard, but it certainly wasn't doing itself any favors.

B-lined straight through the Unite content and went straight here! I’m loving this kind of content 🤠

[Belesprit]

Yup, the game just sucks. Unfortunately, I know too many things that are pushing to dramatically change the culture. For a short list: most movies, Splatoon 3, Langrisser mobile, sunlight scream, some others I'm surely forgetting. For obviously (or less obviously) demonic things, Cult of the lamb, Persona 4 and 5, Chaos;Head, etc. also more realistic graphics which is debatable whether that's good or bad but certainly an increase in blood, exposure at an early age, I think I've said enough. This happens to be something I research.

There’s really no defending a game with characters like those. A couple of them were meh, but the designs of the rest of them were from bad to horrific. Almost all of them felt like the devs used A.I. to complete. Just look at the blue guy in that picture: the grooves on his weapon have no form or unity; they’re just a random assortment of lines. There’s 2 straight lines right next to each other, but they aren’t the same length, and their lengths don’t match any of the other grooves. Who thought that was a good design?

It makes me physically sick just looking at them; the same feeling I get when I look at A.I. images.

Hey Jake are you excited for legends ZA?

Man, I really feel your commentary on the culture war aspect. I keep trying to look up reviews for games and I'm running into wall after wall of "Woke" this, DEI that, and its making it impossible to tell if games are good or bad. I just want to be able to find honest reviews of games instead of finding a sea of one star reviews because the MC is black, or people didn't agree with the commentary.

[reignis]

No way someone mentioned that thing is like a 15 year old online game, which was a battle royal in a small arena where everyone would kill each other run across walls and stuff with guns or swords XD
It was a very edgy thing an product of its time XD

This game did not suck, it was mid and was asking for $40

"Can't games just suck?" - Sadly no.

Sure, you have The Last Of Us 2, but even THAT game has a lot of people who think it's NOT very good. Say what you want about the gameplay but story is just as important in these kinds of games and for a lot of TLOU fans, it completely failed on that metric and there is NOTHING wrong with feeling that way.

All that to say that even if you think TLOU2 is a "successful woke game", even THAT idea is in contention with a lot of people, and in general a lot of those people will say that "wokeness" was the very reason the story turned out the way it did.

And to be frank, there's a strong element of simple pattern recognition that gets ignored here.

People don't just arbitrarily hate "woke" games. They've seen games try to "go woke" before and so many of them become WORSE in the process.

There ARE good "woke" games out there, but you're USUALLY not gonna find them outside the indie scene. Indie games are where it's at for this kind of thing.

But back to my point, they have now been conditioned BY EXPERIENCE to see wokeness as a red flag. While you might say "Concord didn't fail becauss it's WOKE, it failed because it just SUCKS", a lot of people won't see the difference, to be honest.

After all, how could you prove to them that woke agendas AREN'T the reason the game sucks? How could you say the team didn't make all these bad decisions because they were more preoccupied with being "inclusive"?

Whether anyone likes it or not, Concord will not go down as simply a failure. It will go down as a WOKE failure, and for many... rightly so.

Why do people hate it, because of inclusion?
