>o7
>>719943310That was the average player count.
>concord was 5 years ago
>>719943310>o7What?
the best part is that during the last hours of the game people were trying to grind matches for the achievementsand to do that everyone was rushing to jump off the nearest cliff to suicide, every single player was jumping into suicide, which is the most beautiful poetic justice for a woke game
>>719943852Player generated narratives are always kino
RiP every single housefly that outlived Concord
>>719943852kinda makes sense they'd all be killing themselves, considering half of the characters were trannies
>>719943310Do you think the devs that worked on this slop were heartbroken or embarrassed? Imagine spending years working on this trannyslop to have it become the biggest financial disaster in the history of video games
>>719943310reminder if you trust corporate entities with your idea they will immediately rape it and you just have to look up the original concept of Concord to prove that fact.
>>719943310>28k likesIf only those 28k people would play the game...
>>719944061that's the joke, retard.
>>719944263the issue here is that the corporate entity was taken over by politicswe all know hot characters sell, if they went out of the way to make something they know will sell less, it's because their focus is propaganda rather than making a successful product
>>719944196As long as they were getting paid, I doubt they really cared. Nobody who actually programmed the game or did art or designed characters actually came up with any ideas themselves. Everything they put in the game was decided by a consultation firm they were PAYING to tell them what to do.
>>719943310I never once actually played Concord.But it was a very entertaining game.
>>719944196My assumption is that there were 3 types of people who worked on concord:>Salary collectors who knew it was a steaming pile but knew better than to speak up against management - they were touching up their résumés before it even released >True believers who genuinely thought they were making something grand - they were all the devastated twitter posts asking for jobs when they got shitcanned>The bastards at the top who knew it would go down like a cup of cold sick but pushed it anyway because the agenda (and their paycheck) were more important than anything else - for them failure means nothing as they'll just sweet-talk another publisher into throwing billions towards unwanted trash.
>>719944196From the podcast A Life Well Wasted, 11 ex-Firewalk Studios devs are interviewed about the game's development and failureOn working at Firewalk:>I know, I felt like I would run into battle and die for 'the company' that day (the teaser reveal day). I was ecstatic.>I miss it immensely. They always ask me 'why did I like working at 'the studio' so much? And it was like, I just really enjoyed the team. The people. That's what I miss.>People were kind to each other. If someone had a bad day, people would be super supportive and be like "take the time, if you're not feeling good, go home.>This is the first studio where I felt equal and treated right. Not only is everyone super talented, but also everyone was respectful and nice. It's a green flag when I can go into the women's bathroom, and it's not only filled with feminine hygiene products, but also...there's women there. And its like 'oh, I have to share a bathroom with other women now! Like, whoa that's odd, because you usually get the whole place to yourself.On the beta>We were excited locally in the studio, but the public had no idea what it was at first. I thought people were just harsh during the reveal trailer. I was like 'You know what? There's things we need to work on but it's okay. Once people touch the game, it's going to change things.' And then the beta numbers dropped, and numbers were not what we were expecting. And I think our mindset started shifting to 'things could go really bad.'>It made news for how poorly it (the beta) did. Like, people would go out to news sites to, like, hear about our game and how negatively it was doing instead of like, hearing what the game was about. People heard about our game because of how poorly it did. But people didn't hear about what the game was, or even really tried. There was no shortage of news articles and YouTube videos and hate on the internet about how poor the numbers were, so it was pretty apparent.Cont.
Still kind of amazed that they shitcanned it so quickly. Usually bad online games try to go free to play, or offer free weekends, but Sony were for once in a long time able to see what a terrible idea chasing good money after bad was and just said "fuck it" and shut it all down.Years of development, millions spent, two weeks online, and not even the hint of trying to turn it around.
>>719945531On the reception:>The most frustrating part about it to me was people had made up their mind about the game, and I felt like it was based off of...I mean, this more our fault than theirs, but we did a bad job of communicating what we were trying to do. And I felt like there was such a disconnect, like, if I could sit down with any individual that said something bad about the game and plead our case, I could convince them 100% to be on board with the game. It's just we did a terrible job of appealing to the mass of gamers and it didn't go too well.>It's just weird that there is this audience who's just constantly wanting to be excited that something fails. But the reality behind it is, we're just looking at our keyboards, and then we're like 'oh, no job today.>There's like a schadenfreude of, 'oh, big game fails, and like, that's awesome. We gotta see something crash and burn, and like, that's kinda great. That's really cool.' And to be a part of that process, it's really easy to bandwagon on that...like well, we're punching up, and not really taking into consideration that like, well, you're punching up at that, but then all of these people that work really hard on it are not those people.On the aftermath:>One of the things that a lot of people wonder in the comments section is like, 'what are they thinking!? How do these devs not know (how the game is being received)?' We know. We know full well. We know what's happening. We agree with it half the time. And more often than not, it's (changing the game) just not possible given the circumstances, given the stakes, the sunk cost into these things.>t was the most beautiful car that we crashed.>Any gamers and fellow devs who gave it a chance and enjoyed and appreciated it for what it was, all the love to you guys. I'm sad that it didn't find its gamer base...It was so special. I wouldn't trade the experience for anything.
>>719945531This is the talk of people who go out of the building for coffee three times in a five hour shift.
>>719943310I still can't believe this fever dream actually happened.
>>719944449>As long as they were getting paid, I doubt they really cared.that's why the video game industry goes to shit, back then you had developpers who were actual gamers and wanted to make art, now it's surrounded by grifters who just want to make bucks out of some woke slop, they don't give a fuck anymore because they don't even play games or want to improve the field forward
>>719945580>if I could sit down with any individual that said something bad about the game and plead our case, I could convince them 100% to be on board with the game.no karen, you can't gaslight people into loving your slop, you have to listen to your clients, they're the kings, not you
>>719945967They truly believe people that aren't following their cult are just unenlightened and one conversation away from seeing the light.
>>719946093Echo chambers and positive feedback loops destroy any creative endeavour
>>719943310Stop killing games! Bring it back.
>>719944196The cultists that made sure it was made the way it was will never ever understand why it failed. In their minds this was a masterpiece.They probably unironically belive the saturated market narrative and turn off their brains any time they hear marvel rivals
>>719943310It really baffles me that all these companies spend hundreds of millions of dollars and years of development time making multiplayer only games.
>>719943310SHIIEEEEEEEEEET they took my nigga Bazz away.
>>719947720wow, baz is so cool and oh so sexy. I would have sex with this person in real life if they existed!
>>719945580is this what they mean by positive toxicity? This just sounds like a cult but with video games.
>>719943310was this the beginning of the end?
>>719948046>This just sounds like a cult but with video games.because it is, if you don't allow critisism and you're only forced to speak positively of a subject, you're on a cult
>>719943310amazing how we go this, dustborn and veilguard in such a short intervali got more entertainment shitposting about that woke slop than anyone ever got playing those games lmao
>>719945580>if I could sit down with any individual that said something bad about the game and plead our case, I could convince them 100% to be on board with the gameLOL
>>719947720I swear, I hate you retards on here who act like the game would have been amazing if it had a bunch of bimbos in it instead of the ugly sacks of shit it actually had. While the character designs certainly did it no favors, ultimately it failed because the game itself didn't have an audience. That big ass state of play Sony dedicated to it was what killed it, big long trailer that makes it look like it's trying to be guardians of the Galaxy only for it to end up being just an utterly banal looking multiplayer shooter. The people who liked the trailer were put off by the gameplay and people who didn't like the trailer had already stopped watching. If the game had better character designs it might have survived but there's no world where this game would have flourished.
>>719948513>I hate you retards on here who act like the game would have been amazing if it had a bunch of bimbos in it instead of the ugly sacks of shit it actually had.
>>719948513if they had a bunch of bimbos at least coomers would play the game instead of fucking no-one
>>719944357I don't get it
>>719948274the same goes for the opposite by the way
>>719948513Why are you trying to push this stupid narrative that nobody understood what type of game it was because of one shitty trailer? Besides the atrocious characters it being another hero shooter in a pretty crowded space was the other major complaint before it launched, everyone was fully aware of what type of game it was.
>>719948669Overwatch literally has that and it's still shit on relentlessly by you faggots and the playercount is forever dropping
>>719945285That's every company.
>>719948745of course, this site allows every opinions, whether it's positive or negative
>>719948780overwatch sold well, what are you talking about? you're complaining that a 9 year old game isn't selling as well as before? are you retarded?
why not just reboot the game with different characters?why not at least continue to sell it?
>>719948513you have to learn the hard truth, no one want to play ugly people, it is what it is, maybe you're ugly in real life and you wanted representation, that's not happening
>>719948926Even with a skeleton crew, there's an upkeep cost for online-only games>different charactersAnd pay the wages of the same dudes who failed to sell their product again?
>>71994528590% of the people in every studio are just professionals doing their job or salary collectors as you call them. If I'm not in charge of gameplay, I'm not to give half a shit if the gameplay sucks. I'm just making sure this little texture that goes into the corner of the room looks nice, that's my job, that's all I care about. And if I do my job well my next job will pay me more no matter how much the game flops
>>719945531>It's a green flag when I can go into the women's bathroom, and it's not only filled with feminine hygiene products, but also...there's women there. And its like 'oh, I have to share a bathroom with other women now! Like, whoa that's odd, because you usually get the whole place to yourself.what
>>719944196one guy that worked on concord called people criticizing the game on twitter "talentless hacks"
>>719944591I wouldn't even have learned of the game existence without /v/ tbhdesu.
>>719949419I think she meant that there's women in the bathroom (meaning there's women working on the video game industry) since video games used to be a place where only men worked on it, that's my guess
>>719948513When you're making HERO shooter game the first thing you need is heroes people would want to play as.
>>719945531>Like, people would go out to news sites to, like, hear about our game and how negatively it was doing instead of like, hearing what the game was about. People heard about our game because of how poorly it did. But people didn't hear about what the game was, or even really tried.Wrong. People didn't "try" the game because they knew what the game was about. These "news" all explained why the game was bad and where its problems were, people were just believing their own eyes.If everywhere everyone is saying the game is bad, and when you look at the game and it is bad, you don't need to "try".>>719945580>like, if I could sit down with any individual that said something bad about the game and plead our case, I could convince them 100% to be on board with the game.No you couldn't. You can't even understand why your game failed in the first place.
>>719948513You have learnt nothing, will keep failing with countless more lost jobs. And that's a beautiful thing
>>719949689Yeah, just think. This person was around for several years, maybe as many as 5-8 years and never saw a problem with the game. So obviously, it was just a bad job of communicating the greatness of the game.
>>719943310Concord is the actual Tortanic.
>>719948513>if concord had better character designs people would have liked it more
>>719948513No one is saying that, the game had no redeeming qualities and we all know, it was a hero shooter in an oversaturated market, but clearly it would survive if it had good designs or something that people liked, look at marvel rivals and all the people going awooga with the girls, that shit had like a million players on launch, is not hard to understand, sometimes designs carry a game completely, do you think anyone would play Blue Archive if they had Concord characters?
>>719948513Nobody said the game would be amazing with bimbos, you fucking mongoloid. But the sheer hideousness of it and the horrible design choices are what make it stand out from other bad to mediocre games. The rest of the game isn't even worth discussing. It may be low hanging fruit, but that doesn't make it any less true.
>>719945580>I'm sad that it didn't find its gamer basekek>make game for a very, very small group of people>shocked and sad that only a very, very small group of people played it
>>719943640I think it's a mass effect reference, that was a way better game and still shit.
The best thing Concord ever did was to prove that it is actually possible to fight back against woke bland bullshit. It set a precedent for the industry. Things aren't good again, not yet, but there has been a shift.
>>719949785Yeah, Tortanic managed to save itself by turning from WoW to FFXIV.Concord sold so badly it has NEGATIVE SALES, it's sales count is -25000 because they had to refund copies sold.
>>719948513It's all about chances, anon.Having hot bimbos is NOT a guarantee for game success, but it would at least make it live a bit longer even if it flops with time (First Descendant) because the game was bad.But having ugly trannies and weird looking characters is almost a guaranteed fail for specific genres.
>>719948513Nigga it's a hero shooter with a cosmetic skins cash shop, THE DESIGNS ARE SUPPOSED TO SELL. This isn't Counter Strike.
>>719948780OW not only was a huge success, its character designs were so good they became more famous than the game itself (because of porn made about them)
>>719949624ah that makes sense
>>719948513>but there's no world where this game would have flourishedThe world where they spent the money on character design and making the actual game instead of on animated webisodes, merch, plugs with amazon and other bullshit that had nothing to do with the game.Even that ugly piece of shit marathon has more traction because it's an actual game and not a transgender propaganda piece.
>>719950260Overwatch characters literally revolutionized fan porn animations.
>>719945531>>719945580didn't concord have two betas and the free one was actually lower than the paid one?why is this guy trying to imply that people would have liked the game if they had played it if that obviously is not true?
>>719948513>at least this woke ass guy admits that the characters are uglythat's one step in the right direction, soon enough he'll be voting vance in 2028, no doubt about it
>>719948513Suice Squad: KTJL was a good game, great visuals and audio, optimized and ran very well, top tier talent working on it and produced something really good and was a far better product.However it tanked hard for the content it tried to push, the subversive ugly political activism that people are tired of and unfortunately timed as the final performance for a beloved voice actor.Concord had no chance with a Jewish character designer masked as a self hating white person whom has no eye or appreciation for beauty and appeal that purposefuly makes ugly things. Ditto for the writing and presented characters, a black trans merc that got their skills by using a box cutter at amazon shipping center? Really?There was a nugget of something potentially good, sure. But if you can't even joke about it in the office where it's being produced then it's dead in the oven.
>>719949934The Concord catastrophe is a ball and chain bolted into wokeness on one end and hanging off a bottomless chasm on the other.Marvel Rivals' success is pushing wokeness from the other side.
>>719943310Ough, right in the feels.
>>719950061>But having ugly trannies and weird looking characters is almost a guaranteed fail for games that aren't parasitizing past successes.FTFY
>>719951121Fair
>>719943310
>>719950295>Even that ugly piece of shit marathon has more tractionThe game has literally been pushed back indefinitely and Bungie is in the process of being dismantled by Sorny
>>719945531>>719945580Sounds like a team that was in an absolute bubble for years.
>>719945553Imagine looking at the numbers and seeing that the online infrastructure costs more than any sales of the game and DLC etc.
>>719951041Suicide Squad in a way it's even more baffling than Concord. SS took what could've been a cool idea (playing as a team of super-villains in black ops missions) and turned into Live Service slop featuring the lamest roster ever while fighting and killing (clones) of major characters that were all better suited for getting games of their own.
>>719945580>if I could sit down with any individual that said something bad about the game and plead our case, I could convince them 100% to be on board with the gameI find that...unlikely.
>>719951284"Adult daycare" is less of a meme than people think.
>>719949970>Concord sold so badly it has NEGATIVE SALES, it's sales count is -25000 because they had to refund copies sold
>>719951224(magdump.wav)
>>719951593If they refunded pirated copies by mistake than technically rather than sell copies they actually produced more copies of the game
>>719943310Just stop making trannyslop and make more games like Nikke and Stellar Blade
>>719943310I will never forget Bazz.
>>719948513>I-It would have flopped even if it had hot females, chud!Cope and you will never be a woman
they should just make a game about Bazz's adventures in the amazon handling facility. Everyone on /v/ would buy it
This and Marvel Rivals coming out in the same time period was a hilarious contrast on virtually every possible level of game and promotion.
>>719944449If you want a future in game development, you need a good portfolio. For the years spent working on concord, it'd look better to lie and say you were taking a sabbatical leave than to admit you worked on this slop, both are bad but one is clearly worse.Companies want people with experience on recent tools.
>>719951995to this day the sharpest mind in video game market analytics can't answer why the market was saturated for concord but not rivals
>>719951995This just cements the warfare on the West IMO.Red tape and meddling holding back the US while the chinese take another cut out of what the states should've been allowed to do in the first place.
>>719951884Just stop posting frogs and become an hero
>>719952153but we are heroes, we're killing woke games by doing nothing
>>719951425Harley Quinn is not built to be a protagonist.She is Joker's doting girlfriend.Feminine affection is a very important ingredient for feminine charm (that's why I've flipped my stance on having every important female character lust after the MC; it's a great choice depending on the type of story), and when you take the girlfriend element away from Harley, she loses what makes her attitude cute instead of annoying.Then if you make her ugly, you've really killed any reason to play her game.I've only watched a few minutes of footage from Suicide Squad, but I couldn't stand her.
>>719943640It's a salute emoticon, you philistine
>>719952145BlackRock and their proxies are China?Because they're the ones forcing every company in the US to adopt gay race communism.
>>719952301Look man you could have just said she's supposed to be Joker's Robin and that would have been enough.
>>719951995>40k online nowlol.your piece of trash is also dead now
>>719952145>Red tape and meddlingno it's just companies responding to the demands of investors. The more woke stuff they put in their games the more DEI investment they get
>>719952434No, that would be entirely missing the point, because she's not Joker's Robin. Everything that Harley did back when she was popular was to impress Joker and make him love her. That's why her act was cute. When you take that away but keep the mannerisms, it turns her into an abrasive narcissist who's all her, her, her, and nobody can stand that. That's also why she can't really break away from being the doting girlfriend and keep her character intact.The west needs to acknowledge how important feminine affection and vulnerability are for female characters. It's the difference between a girlboss that repulses audiences and waifu material that men and women alike appreciate. The things that people like about women are different from the things that people like about men.
>>719944196Don't worry, they were going to fail upwards anyway.
>>719943310Drew something for Concord's death anniversary.
That Bazz character is really cool I wish her game was popular so more people could learn her cool backstory
>>719943310at least they got their pay checks, next time make sexy females you faggots
>>719952084you could just lie and say you're interested in putting niggers and troons in every video game. they'd hire you on the spot.
>>719945531>>719945580Thanks for telling me about this podcast. I listened to the whole episode.I love how the ex-employees all say that Concord was a great game and that they did unnecessary overtime for it. I love how they all thought it was going to be a big success, and if it wasn't, then they'd have a year or two to fix it and it'd be a success anyway. I also love when they said they released the beta and they IMMEDIATELY knew it was going to bomb hard and they became demoralized. I also love when they admitted the only livestreams of the game were sponsored and that no organic streamer was playing the game. I love how all the ex-employees actually wanted to do other things than create video games - like get into Hollywood - and could only find work on Concord too. And the only guy who said he wanted to make video games was the only one to realize there were problems with 'certain elements' of the game but basically had no input. And it was absolutely amazing to hear that the ex-exmployees talked to other studios and those other studios told them they were toning down or outright removing certain 'elements' from their game.
>>719949419There are enough trannies to fill a bathroomHe's used to regular women fleeing in terror
>>719953121I couldn't live with myself.
>>719948513Based bait. Put me in the screencap as well.
>>719952928THAT HAYMAR IS A BLOODY SPY!!!
I only play chinese games
>>719943310>a year old twitter screenshot
>>719954930eyyup, we'll take that victory lap until the end of time, and you'll seethe about it until then
>>719945580>>719945531This exactly what Sega of Europe went through with Hyenas. The devs thought they had something special internally but when revealed and beta time it was mocked and had no players. Sega of Japan despately had to come in and see if they could salvage it but they couldn't do they decided to cancel it and fire some people from EU/USA to make their shareholder quarter look better and save some Japanese heads.
>>719955273>Hyenasfirst time I've heard of that gamehttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0DVApk5s7qoyeah... wtf is this shit lol
>>719952352hella cringe desu
>>719955520It was Concord before Concordhttps://youtu.be/a8Dw8Og8Xjc
>>719955520Funny how Sega was actually smarter than Sony and killed this before it came out.
>>719943310A year of nothing comparable with Concord...goddamn it's hard being a gamer hunting for flops.
>>719955683nothing will ever be comparable to concord, 400 millions of dollars wasted is probably the biggest financial flop in the media history
>>719955520It could have been the OG concord if Sega didn't see the writing on the wall ahead of time and canned it.super billion dollar game btw
>>719943998There’s streamer footage of players doing exactly that
>>719955520>>719955273>Segaman... I remember a time when they were making great games like Skies of Arcadia, this is sad man
>>719943310Man I wish I was a “freegunner”
>>719945967Unrelated but I fucking hate this “the customer is always wrong” philosophy that Western game devs have adopted. It’s one thing to cheat out and annoy your players subtly but when you’re going on interviews and proudly exclaiming how stupid you think your fans are, you’re just asking for your game to flop
>>719948513Cuckold
so did anyone from here actually played itI did watch the concord episode on amazon prime, it's funny, the bad guy is the only white guy
>>719955520Also check out this leaked internal "mood video" by Neill Blomkamp.https://files.catbox.moe/z0i7ez.mp4
>>719948513you're a homo
>>719944196>the biggest financial disaster in the history of video gamesWorse: the biggest one in this history of entertainment period.
>>719956026>https://files.catbox.moe/z0i7ez.mp4 what the actual fuck lmao
>>719952813Good post, I agree
>>719952129>cantWon't
>>719956026Yeah this is what >>719955273 was saying. The devs thought they had something special internally when they were cooking up hype videos like that. They were very fucking wrong in reality.
>>719955834and we will literally never get a new skies of arcadia or phantasy star because the woman behind it died some years ago and sega didnt even acknowledge except for the credits of genesis mini.
>>719955578not very smart since they also spent a fuckton on it and killed it what, 1 week before it came out? At least they saved up on marketing and the dev cost was lower, but it was still over $100m. I think it's funny, there was this one dev saying she found out they game was cancelled because she read the news on redditI dislike hyenas more because it actively hurt the development of warhammer 3, that and CA being a mismanaged studio full of monkeys fucked that game up.
>>719955998Bazz's parents had groomed her from birthwhat? please tell me this is an actual screen from the game? it would be soooo funny
>>719944263>original concept of ConcordWhile the original designs are much better than what was released the game was always going to be pozzed shit even the logo of the game is a jewish star of remphan with an N in the middleId say never buy a game with a jewish star as its logo, but nobody did buy it anyway lmao
>>719948513>hero shooter>but the heroes are uglyThis is the main flaw of the game and trying to pivot the conversation in any other direction without acknowledging this fact is dishonest and amerijewish. It's a covert tranny tactic trying to damage control and steer the narrative away from disgusting art design and amerijewish messaging.It's akin to trying to sell a racing game but the cars are all actually rolling dog turds. At that point I don't care about the pricetag or mechanics or the genre - At that point the biggest deciding glaring flaw is obvious.
>>719951224none of the characters have shadows

>>719956382Don't forget about the part where she gets her assassin training from being a box cutter.
>>719948274>>719948046This sounds like what Dobson did. Only listened to praise and took criticism as a personal attack.Dobson would have been the type to defend this game too if he was still around.
>>719955273>The devs thought they had something special internallyIt's what the shareholders demanded at the time, they see the hero shooter genre pop off, they want their own share of the cake, they don't realize games take time to make so when their shit is ready maybe the genre is already oversaturated.On top of that they have to add these quirky, queer characters who speak in ironic lines and they all look like clowns so not only you have another hero shooter, it's also visually unappealing.

>>719943310If you look at the art in this, it's actually nicely executed. Shame its in service of the ugliest characters ever invented. Its like they went out of their way to be offensively ugly>>719944196A lot of people want to take glory in Concord failing but the devs still got paid. All those guys got 120k a year paychecks. Its not like they had to pay the money back. They're still around, surely shitting up some new place

>>719956871>Shame its in service of the ugliest characters ever invented.

They know, but they won't say it and will keep pretending it was just som>>schadenfreude of, 'oh, big game fails, and like, that's awesome. We gotta see something crash and burn, and like, that's kinda great. That's really cool.'

>>719948513Blaming Sony, blaming a trailer they have creative control over. Slow ass game play. The fact of the matter is when people considered scifi there used to be themes and logic behind it. It wasn't the original breeding ground for marvel logic. Imagine finding out about space and sleeping on space exploration on Earth for example. Then you have this shit show where all the concept designs don't make sense and they just push for real representation again without context. They should have had a stamina system that allowed them to fight for a minute before getting tired if they wanted TRUE representation of their game and reason for slow ass game play. Maybe morph the bodies the higher level you get from completing matches and not being a fat fuck.
>>719956784>>719958163why those fuckers are acting like they have no good IP to make up for that, they could bring back jet set radio or space channel 5 and this shit would fucking sell, what a bunch of retards, I was sad when they flopped during the dreamcast but now I see that they kinda deserved it
>>719956529Everyone blames Unreal because of the light model system it has. Tells everyone else off that its in the hands of the developers. Their engine is a piece of shit when it comes to the dynamic lighting model.
>>719958243unless they literally lie, they can't hide the slow ass gameplay and the ugly looney troon core characters. Plus they had that million dollar CGI cinematic trailer designed for Basedgoi marvel bois. I blame the studio 100% for scamming sony with their feminist troon agenda
>>719954930We're not supposed to laugh at an awful shitty game that flopped because an arbitrary amount of time has gone by? A year isn't even that long ago. Fuck off faggot
>>719956626Funny thing: if you called these games trash on twitter, someone would show up to call you a chud, nazi, and all that shit - and their reply to you would get more likes than these games had as total players.It's all performative.

>>719945531oh how lovely!pfft, good games are only made by a handful of college bros working in a single sweaty room. these people are more interested in how the building juicebar is. imagine if anyone tried to actually be critical during concord's development. sounds like you'd be pulled into a meeting for 'making Samantha cry'.

Not gonna ngl I think Bazz is actually kinda cool. She'd be absolute kino as a goofy party member in some JRPG.
>>719959015it's kind of beautiful in a way because they really got EA to drink the kool aid and invest more than ever, just to 'compete with CoD' i guess.it has a campaign like 5% of people will play it has a whole fortnite build your own gamemode suite, so you can host it on Portal that no one will play unless its an AFK XP exploit.it'll have a BR that dumbfuck washed up brodude streamers will play for 3 days before going back where they came frommeanwhile BF fans will get a vaguely competent but overall very underwhelming BF, but no real reason to pull them away from 4/BF1 whatever they are playing now

>>719954930Chuddies really didn't like this post...
>>719944196Kinda hard to know since this is not Larian's BG3 or Ubisoft's SW Outlaws when you know the devs where super happy about making a product with a traditional consumer base that is clearly white, heterosexual, and male for a non-straigth, non-white, non-males audience instead. Concord was an original IP... at best they felt they will receive endless praise from 'critics' and minorities. Plus, the dozens of blogposts and articles ready with "In Concord I was finally able to play with a character that I identify with."

I'm curious what she would bullshit together if I asked her why she thinks I'd want to play any of these characters and show her examples, like pointing out how the rarest skins make the characters look even worse somehow or that this one character has literally the ugliest color in the world as part of its color scheme amongst other browns and beiges, etc. And if she starts with any unrelated pseudo-morality trash like representation or diversity, I would ask her where they are and why they didn't buy and play the game.
>>719962248>they did a bad job communicatingAh yeah I remember when the first Halo devs communicated with me to buy their gameNo I just bought it cause it looked badass
>>719962605Did he eat all the good character designs?
>>719948513>bad character designs only stopped it from making money>the real problem was there is no market for hero shooters and the advertising was shitSo what you're saying is everyone involved in that game was wrong, including the character designers?
>>719962602>we're the aliensdesu I don't consider that as humans so maybe?
>>719960807>>719960893These designs would have made me much more excited to play an arena-based hero shooter live service with a $40 buy-in!
>>719952456Hmmmm, somehow 40k online right now sounds a whole lot better than serves shutting down after a week.
>>719962087Ok. There's a name field in the posting form, you can put your pronouns in there if you care about them so much.
>>719952928Should I draw more Concord lewds? The game would be as dead as Charlie Chaplin during the time I would make a another.

Okay, but have we actually seen Bazz's eyes?
>>719956026Couldn't watch it until the end, I keep trying, but jesus fucking christ.
>>719962605I have no way of knowing if this is what happened, but I suspect someone in management said, "we need a plus-size character to fulfill this rubric for investors," and the character designers came up with this in one, maybe two passes, at which point all design work on this character ceased. His sole visual identifier is being a fat kid in a onesie
So why where Concord and Hyenas bad other than ugly characters?

>>719963637Concord is an arena-based hero shooter that is a live service and also charges $40 for admission. I was genuinely interested in Concord's mobility system, there were actually different categories of enhanced movement for different heroes, for example Bazz could triple jump with a cooldown, but I'm not paying $40 just to move cool in a PvP arena. Hyenas I don't know the financial situation, but it had almost the same gameplay aside from being an extraction game.
>>719962760They did admit that the game was uncool mostly due to it trying to court the wrong audience, they also said that making an uncool, but functional game is worse than making bad game, so they would agree with you.
>>719963870What, don't you like the Lawnmower Commander, I just noticed he is also wearing slippers what the fuck.
>>719960546>>719960605>>719960749>>719960893>>719961619>brought to you by tumblrI know it sounds like I'm resurrecting a dead horse, forget beating it, but I'm convinced tumblr and the culture that developed in it caused catastrophic damage to the artists using the platform, who then went on to work for actual videogame studios with dire consequences. This is the result of so called "toxic positivity", people not accostumed to giving nor receiving criticism.The biggest offender to me of these designs is that there doesn't seem to be a distinct identity to them, how do I put it... You know how, say, goth as a movement has a distinct visual identity to the point that if someone utters that word you immidiately have a mental picture of the aesthetics being discussed? I would have a very hard time describing Concord's visual identity.Another thing that bothers me is most of these designs are overcluttered, too much stuff slapped on that just creates confusion. The color choices are eye watering, personally as an artist I recognize my own color choices are drab, monotone, I suck at coloring, but these guys went into the complete opposite direction with the colors being overly vibrant, clashing
>>719964113>but I'm convinced tumblr and the culture that developed in it caused catastrophic damageWhat caused the damage was tumblr getting nuked. Everything was fine when it was a containment website for these freaks.
>>719963842>fat bitch.That's Emari (she/her) voice by Christine Rose Schermerhorn (She/They) a black, non-binary, transgender woman.
>>719963858>that bioOh geeze. Some actors really treat their IMDB page like it's LinkedIn, huh?
>>719964226>What caused the damage was tumblr getting nuked.this, I'll always remember that year, 2018, when tumblr removed NSFW, it was the year the equilibrium got destroyed, before that, the wokies were on their tumblr containment zone, and after that these virus spread all over the internet and the peak woke era started, grim
>>719964293I thought the nigger with the round sunglasses was the tranny.
>>719964089>he is also wearing slippers what the fuckSlippers and a blanket over his legs, I assume he's paraplegic. Investors look at a crude "diversity score" when looking to buy publisher stock, and having a playable character in your game with an obvious disability affects that score, so fuck you put a man in a wheelchair on the roster, we need investor dollars not actual revenue
>>719964293>non binary>transgender womanhow the fuck does that work? isn't "non binary" supposed to say "I'm neither a man or a woman"?
>>719964390He looks kinda grumpy too, must've been in a hurry and didn't get his morning coffee yet, seeing as he is still half dressed.
>>719943310More people have liked that tweet than it had sales on all platforms combined
>>719964323>and the peak woke era startedAt least it looks like that's starting to end now. Probably because we're headed for nuclear war soon, but hey. At least when they call you a Nazi you can just reply "Sieg Heil, bitch" and everyone else is just too exhausted to care.
>>719964491Virtue signaling is free after all.
>Game was bad>Design was bad>Story was badIt was a perfect storm. If just one of these were good the game could have lived for like a year on life support.

I don't believe anyone was working with any kind of coherent vision, or if they were, it was blurred out and smoothed away by multiple rounds of committee.
>>719962754>And if she starts with any unrelated pseudo-morality trash like representation or diversity,That's exactly what they would do.They will never have an honest discussion about why you should play their game (because that would lead the discussions about why the game failed) they only want to tell you why you're wrong for not accepting their game in the first place.
>>719948780Overwatch sold like crazy to both gamers and normies because of the grear designs. The decline came when they pandered soley to competitive types. 2 didn't stand a chance with its cast of new freaks and geeks. So much so where they're pivoting to pretty or attractive characters moving forward.
>>719956026this is epic
>>719962536JOHNSON! THAT IS THE CORE DEMOGRAPHIC OF SHOOTERS. WHY ARE YOU ANTAGONIZING OUR MARKET? THE NEXT GAME HAD BETTER STAR ADOLF HITLER OR I'LL HAVE YOUR ASS ON A PLATTER

>>719948513And they convinced themselves selling it for $40 was a good idea
>>719964813I think at some point the tube was connected to the hip flask with the yellow stopper, but someone said, "get rid of the connection, it'll be a problem for in-game rendering. No, don't remove the whole tube, it creates visual contrast despite serving no function."

>>719965591I'm not sure myself? It looks like someone is trying to claim a month where ZZZ only made ten million dollars is a massive falloff?
>>719963637Let's be real here: Concord probably had a bunch of other problems, and even some cool things too, but on steam it didn't even hit 700 ccu on launch. This means people didn't even SHOW UP. And for that we have to ask WHY did people not show up.People trying to say Concord failed because of [other problem] are being disingenuous, you can't fix other problems if people are not even showing up to play your game.>b-but the $40 costIt had a free open beta. The open beta had 2x the numbers of the closed beta, and 3x the numbers of the launch.

>>719961350Bently from sly cooper was put in a wheel chair and it didn't feel forced or to pander. Why can't we get neat designs or things again.
>>719965746>The gacha shit killed $300M from a studio in less than a yearftfy
>>719965701>Concord probably had a bunch of other problems,Absolutely. Devs coming out of it have described a work environment where they were effectively forbidden from giving criticism "The Professor" sounds like an in-office nuisance who coopted inclusive rhetoric to legitimize abusing their subordinates.
>>719945285>>719945531>>719945580There's some critical information missing here:>Sony bought Bungie and put them in charge of every single GaaS title being developed at the time>At the same time, Bungie was also developing their own GaaS title (which due to Sony's extremely weak contract isn't actually bound to Playstation and Bungie is free to publish it on other platforms)>As of right now, 13 of the 15 GaaS titles being overseen by Bungie were cancelled>The only games that have not been cancelled by Bungie are Helldivers 2 and Bungie's MarathonNow look up what "conflict of interest" and "gerrymandering" mean and see if you can connect these concepts to the greentext above.
>>719965918Not just that, Bungie convinced Sony to go all in on Concord and even buy the studio.
>>719964293Why can't they just go Marvel Rivals Squirrel Girl route if they want a plus-sized bitch.
>>719963764Part of the problem is not just the lame visual designs but also the lame personalities. If I have a grotesque fatass medic, he better be a sadistic mad doctor with Baron Harkonnen vibes, hovering around in a hover belt, giggling with a simultaneous mix of cruelty, perverse childishness, and subtle homosexuality as he chops of limbs
>>719965908Maybe it's not the games but more competition?Consumer money is a limited resource, in that own pic you can see the company eating its own sales by creating competition with itself, so any other new game would also take a bite out of that pie.

>>719945580>if I could sit down with any individual that said something bad about the game and plead our case, I could convince them 100% to be on board with the gamelol
>>719965908I don't think that means what you're implying it meansOne game literally made NEGATIVE 400 million, other game made 1 billion and then "only" 700 million.One game lost money, the other made money.
>>719965423>Gacha war shit out of nowhereWat.
>>719966523based, exactly this, concord's failure is the point where woke was starting to lose steam, we will win this war bros!
Concord's failure was more entertaining than the game itself and everyone in the industry is STILL coping about it.
>>719960807>The wheelchair guyI get it, it's quota bullshit and all that, but couldn't they put a more dignified, fitting in-universe look for a crippled man on a hovering chair instead of what they're going for here?
>>719966523This was basically the moment when woke flew right off the cliff and took a node dive. It literally made history, the biggest flop in entertainment. Not just videogames, but all entertainment media. Only financial crimes in big banks have lost more money.
>>719944196They're used to it. Their peers also made the marvels and the coyboy bebop live action.
>>719966843hey, at LEAST they made it hovering
>>719965897Bently gets a pass because his wheelchair was part of his character development as well as being a means to create unique gameplay. Sly Cooper was really good at weaving characterization into their gameplay.Though I feel if the Sly Cooper trilogy was released today, unchanged, people here would complain about Suckerpunch being "woke" for doing "superfluous representation" by putting Bently in a wheelchair late in the series like that.
>>719966591You can see in that image how one single game made other two succesful games lose a huge amount of money lol>Sony lost hundred of million of dollars for one game>Mihoyo lost hundred of million of dollars for one gameIts the exact same result, all result of a piece of shit product
>>719966383>If I have a grotesque fatass medicNo one is really grotesque in Concord, any more than they are pretty, they're all just plain. Overwatch has grotesque characters like Junkrat, who seems to be a fan-favorite. Deadlock has Ivy, who players absolutely adore.
https://alifewellwasted.com/no one posted the damn link to the podcast. You can sum up the podcast as "yeah the game was 'uncool' but we were doing our jobs and had no say. But we did a really good job!!!"Blissfully unaware or unwilling to be frank and acknowledge why people wanted this thing to fail and what kind of message it would be sending if it succeeded. And yes it is morally okay to wish for things to be failures. If the Horse Armor ended with that guy being blacklisted from the industry, if mobile game developers had their studios shutdown for nickel and diming their audience, we'd be living in a completely different game world.
>>719944397But if no one plays your propaganda then it failed as propaganda, like how does that make sense?
>>719966843I don't get why this is such a big deal, the dog dies at least a half-dozen times in the book
>>719967120>No one is really grotesque in Concord, any more than they are pretty, they're all just plain.Exactly, none of them have any personality. They are all "safe" and "positive" and "family friendly" which turns them into uncanny valley stepford homosexual man-wives.
>>719967030Again, that's is not what it means, anon...The profit margin was smaller, but they did not negatived their money

>>719967002Sorry libtard. Wheelchairs in 2000 games are creative and fun.Wheelchairs in modern games are woke dei cancer, always. Its not about the content in the game, its about the fact that an "ethics department" might have potentially been involved at some point and that makes the game worthless and that didnt exist in the 2000s. Simple as.
>>719952084These people get jobs through connections with other cultists, not through merit. It is why woke games always suck.

>>719947720Is that a banana on her glasses?
>>719966940I'd argue that it started in 2023, with the Bud Light and Target boycotts. Say what you will about them, but those incidents immediately put corporate pride pandering (especially subsequent pride months) on life support. Concord was simply a domino further down the line. The most expensive domino, granted, but not the starting point.

>>719968342>implying they ever learn
>>719948513>who act like the game would have been amazing if it had a bunch of bimbos in it instead of the ugly sacks of shit it actually had.why not? the shooting wasn't even half bad, hell it was a more functional destiny 2 crucible with no tied to destiny (one of the characters literally had the same revolver animations of destiny) and the TTK wasn't bad either, the gameplay itself and the concept of a story that keeps evolving episodically was not bad in the slightest, maybe a tad generic but nothing that couldn't be savedhttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sXOynhMxe-0I unironically think concord had better overall aesthetic to gameplay ratio than shit like the finals or splitgate 2but the character designs doomed it without a single saving grace
>>719959015You never hear this in gaming news sites because they're paid off by publishers, but for the past several years EA's been trying to hit numbers like these. Even their sports games have seen a massive reduction in sales, it doesn't look good when they go into their shareholders meetings and their investors constantly bring up Nintendo's success despite the reduced budgets and single platform for release. These people really believe that if Mario Kart can hit 70 million on the Switch then Battlefield should easily clear 100 million across three platforms.

>>719965591even a (relative to other top gacha)poorly performing game that's visually appealing with no successful direction for its content makes more money than ugly DEI propaganda
>>719968545How do you explain to a boomer who has never ever built anything or done anything of value but is somehow a shareholder with billions of capital the concept of customer goodwill and how nintendo has earned it with quality games with good movement?
>>719956026Jesus christ that writing
i let out a krabappel hah
>>719948513The critical mistake Sony made was thinking they could create a new IP.Gamers don't want anything new, they want the same stories from 30 years ago retold to them.Younger audiences are more likely to try new things, but they are also less likely to spend money, Concord might've succeeded if it was : 1. Released on smartphones and tablets2. Free to play3. Visually targeted towards kids
>>719967030You are such an actual dumbass. One product killing the other does not matter if the company is making both products.

>>719943998
>>719944449Oh fuck off. Even with how bad it was, if you have even an ounce of pride in your work, seeing it crash and burn or just fade into irrelevance hurts.
Why do people still not understand?You have to follow the rule of cool or the rule of coom to get sales.However, every single game dev thinks they're too cool to go for coom (like they are above it).And as for the rule of cool, they for some reason have a visceral reaction to it, they for some reason hate it, and are constantly trying to "redefine" what cool is. It's not working, it will never work. What you think is "cool" will always be lame and gay, no matter how much you try to convince people otherwiseThis is not exclusive to video games. This is the same reason franchises like Star Wars and Capeshit are dyingAnd then they just say "people are not interested in Marvel anymore". And then when something like Marvel Rivals comes out and is a big hit because it goes for the rule of cool AND coom. Crickets. Not a fucking word.
>>719943562holy underrated

>>719944196Apparently over a thousand people worked on this so I'm sure you had honest workers doing their best for such a major project and worthless leaches not even pulling their weight. I'd say the mocap team did fine work with all these backflips and stuff.

>>719954930that's me. i am that guy
>>719969587>And as for the rule of cool, they for some reason have a visceral reaction to itit's because the things that were once understood as classically cool, especially by men, is 'problematic' now. it all comes back to trying to redefine masculinity and stomping out the so called toxic aspects. that isn't the entire reason things are lame and gay now, but it is the biggest contributor. it's a core tenant of progressive ideology.

>>719974414>Yes.no you didn't, you didn't give a fuck about that list between 2020 and 2024 because you were afraid that your favorite president biden would be on that list and couldn't run as a president for the second time
>>719974495>Ok prove it and release the list.what if Biden is on that list? would you still want the list knowing that? if biden was in there it means you voted for a pedo, are you sure you want to take that risk?
>>719974495You release it glowie
>>719974642Don't fall for the bait to distract from the fact that donald trump was epstien's top client.
>>719974734>donald trump was epstien's top client.like Bill Clinton?
Concord will return.
>>719964113>I would have a very hard time describing Concord's visual identity.intestinal. the game is intestine-punk
>>719974795Nah, trump. Also why did trump have epstein murdered after his AG had a secret meeting with him?I mean it was a federal prision, which trump controlled and trump destroyed the footage of when epstein was killed.
>>719965382Would unironically buy that if it would let me kill jews
>>719945580>a lot of people wonder in the comments section is like, 'what are they thinking!? How do these devs not know (how the game is being received)?' We know. We know full well. We know what's happening. We agree with it half the time. And more often than not, it's (changing the game) just not possible given the circumstances, given the stakes, the sunk cost into these things.anyone want to place some bets on what really happened?A) a majority or at the very least a healthy number of the devs saw this disaster barrelling down the road from a mile away and were unable to change the game in a meaningful way for one reason or anotherB) the devs knew the game was a pile of shit and were too incompetent to actually work on fixing it properlyC) this is desperate damage control from someone who had their head ripped out their asshole on launch day
>>719974517Why are you changing the topic? Why are shilling an Orange Kike that brutally raped children on an island with his Mossad pedo buddy after years of pretending to be a noble Christian warrior fighting against the pedo jewish satanic elite?I don't care about Biden. Prove he's on the list by releasing it. Or you're going straight to hell to be raped by baphomet.>>719974642Sure kill everybody that is on the list. Behead them publicly and then hang everybody that blocked the vote to release the files.>>719974712I'm not an orange mossad asset glownigger like your pedo daddy though.
>>719974894>why did trump have epstein murderedyou have a footage of trump murdering epstein? may I see it?
>>719975015>I don't care about Biden. if you don't care about this president of the united states, why do you care about the other president of the united states?
>>719975017Orange Kike cut out 2 minutes of the Epstein cell video in adobe premier pro.
>>719975169do you think Trump himself went in the cell to kill Epstein? kek
>>719975017Can't, it magically got deleted, and only the time around when trump had epstein murdered
>>719975098Why are you changing the topic? Why are shilling an Orange Kike that brutally raped children on an island with his Mossad pedo buddy after years of pretending to be a noble Christian warrior fighting against the pedo jewish satanic elite?
>>719975225Probably his glowjeet goons.
>>719975243you said you don't care about biden? why? why aren't you concerned that the previous president of the united states didn't want to release the Epstein files? shouldn't you go with the conclusion that biden was hiding something and was on the list? I'm sure you don't have the courage to do so, you voted for him after all lol
>>719944196leftists stay losing. . . they still have to keep going back to 2023 Blaldurs Gay 3 as their woke win game.That's why they have to run defence for it and say it was every other factor why it bombed, just not the characters.
>>719975351You are such a kike bro.Here>Sure kill everybody that is on the list. Behead them publicly and then hang everybody that blocked the vote to release the files.Now release the list child fucking orange subhuman.
>>719968213Mtf or Ftm?
>>719975484you seem really passionate about that list right now, but you didn't give a fuck between 2020 and 2024? why?
Why are tumpanzee kikes so slimy bros?>>719975634Stop diverting and dodging. That's jewish behavior.Release the files instead of simping for an Orange Kike that sold the country so he could rape children on the Mossad island.
>>719975594MtF
>>719975383At least rightoids are back to admitting BG3 is woke.Really had the embarrassing stretch where this was real >>719971620

>>719971620I guarantee you that tranny gaming subreddit will have posts doing exactly this about silksong
>>719975810what's woke about silksong though?
>>719975810But hollow knight had a gay bug couple, clearly woke.
