Still better than Lawbreakers, Battleborn, I'm sure others
every wanna be realistic character model on artstation looks like this
>>729172725never let wokies make fat fetishism inclusivefucking losers
>>729172797Those lasted longer than 11 days
>>729172725most of the people responsible for this have moved on to insomniac and naughty dog
>>729172725Issues with the art style aside I still just can't understand why they would give the fat guy a pie dish as a weapon.
>>729173240How is that possible? How do you shut down a game with so much money and time invested into it? There are games with little playerbases and they are still kept on why was this shut down so fast? Did they think no one later on will play the game?
>>729173240Concord still couldn't beat HYENAS
>>729172725The left cannot create, it can only destroy.
>>729173475It just became too embarrassing for Sony to keep it up and continue to make them look bad. They decided to cut their losses and bite the bullet. It also didn't come from nowhere, many who worked on the game were fired on the day of release. All multiplayer titles were cancelled, Spider-Man, TLOU, Ghost of Tsushima, all had multiplayer expansions that were shut down after the disaster of concord. If intergalactic wasn't a single player experience, they'd probably cancel that too.
>>729173475Someone at Sony was broken out of the trance, realized the absolute dumpsterfire this was, and had the knowledge that it was better to just mercy kill it.>>729173729Was that the aborted one?
>>729172725>implying they were even thinking to begin with
>>729172725When you look at a character as a gamer , you are supposed to have an idea of what they do based on their design. For example, i see a dude in robes wielding a staff i assume he is a mage, if he is wielding a staff but has abs and muscles i assume he is a monk etc. None of the characters in this shitheap follow this rule. What the fuck does the character in the OP image suggest? Raiding mc’donalds? Telling white men to check their privilege? What the fuck is the purpose of that metallic disk? Does it trigger a magnetic field that attracts all the pie out of a 500m radius?
>>729174098TF2 keeps mogging every other hero shooter with it's instantly recognizable character designs
>>729174224Exactly. I know that fucker is a medic before i even read his description. I know the other character is a heavy motherfucker from the first moment. Now let me pause while i contemplate what that weird nigress with purple glass lenses and red trenchcoat does. Verifying the cultural authenticity of the nigger pastry bar at HR, probably
>>729174224Also no female characters = no coomers/tranny shit I take tf2's aesthetic more seriously than call of duty and r6 siege because of that
>>729174098It's his healing maxi-padI'm like 30% joking
>>729172725This guy is fine, aside from the weird shit on his chest. He's a trap/mine guy with a proper gun and not just a self-defense sidearm like those kinds of characters usually get, so he is functionally and visually balanced by being a fat ugly hateable nerd with shit mobility and thick hitbox. IIRC people who played Concord were in agreement that he is obnoxious to play against, so, form follows function perfectly.
>>729174379Yeah instead you got the barafags and western fujos.
>>729174454yeah but the gay shits funny tf2 being just the boys is what more games need
>>729172725I guess they were trying to do a ''''realistic'''' design, but this shit is far from realistic. It's an obese woman with a gun.>>729174098Agreed, nothing on this and other characters from the game give any hint on what their specialty is, what they do, what they're good at, etc. It's just a bunch of ugly people on ugly apparel for the sake of putting a bunch of ugly people on a videogame.
>>729174346>Now let me pause while i contemplate what that weird nigress with purple glass lenses and red trenchcoat doesEZ. Bazz's got no gun, but does have knives. It's obvious he's a melee/close quarters mofo, and being an extremely visible ninja kinda fucker, he probably has extra mobility. Keep distance and awareness.
it's like any commercial for a diabeetus drug having a fat and/or old person, they're representing the audience so they know who it's intended for
>>729172725Latinx
>>729174412WRONG - he is not a ‘trap/mine guy’, you’ve misidentified his healing pad as a mineWHY LIE and pretend you’re knowledge about Concord ‘gameplay discourse’?Combat trait: Intensive Care - Healing Pads have a larger pool of available health before deactivating.Crew bonus: Tactician - Faster reload speed.Primary weapon: .320 Sanctuary Burst RifleSecondary weapon: NoneAbility one: Healing Pad - Drops a healing device that heals nearby allies' health.Ability two: Safety Dome - Creates a durable protective dome that blocks projectiles.Movement style: Double jumpPassive ability: Second Wind - Heals a small amount during dodge.
>>729174609unironically, that design looks more fun than the actual game.
>>729174609>maleIs that not a female anon?
>>729172725Whats wrong with Arc Raiders design? It looks..ok, for a post apocalyptic Italian area.
>>729173920>Was that the aborted one?Abortion alone doesn't quite tell the full story, it's more like an abortion in the 40th week. They were ready to ship it.
>>729174685That thing looks more indian than latino
>>729174717He did the classic athlete transition, put it in the paper and did nothing beyond that, because he didn't want to be a heir to parents' business. For all intents and purposes, he's a dood.
>>729174717Bazz was the son of a wealthy international commerce magnate. However, only the son’s of the family could inherit its great wealth. Bazz identified as a woman and, instead of living a life of luxury, took a job at the ground floor of Galactic Amazon Delivery, where Bazz learned the art of the knife, cutting tape and cardboard in the shilling warehouses. This isn’t a joke, that’s the canon lore
>>729174396His?
You guys don't remember Bleeding Edge, but it died faster than Concord.
>>729172725Early Moebius aesthetics but forgot that Moebius aesthetics don't mesh well with 3D animation.
>>729174974Yeah he's just a fat dude
>>729172725They were thinking with their clits
Still kind of amazed they just fucking killed it.Almost every other time we have seen this situation, where an online only game with zero interest is shat out onto the market, there's an attempt to resuscitate the already dead corpse. They'll do a discount. A free weekend. Something to get people to just try it. And it never works, and is just chasing good money after bad.But Sony, after every terrible decision that lead to the game's creation, finally had a good idea, and said "Turn that shit off right fucking now. I don't even want the lights left on in the server room."And they were absolutely right to do it. There was no salvaging Concord. It's like seeing Tiger Woods completely fuck up a hole, only to do the most perfect putt to close out with a triple bogey.
>>729174692He actually DID start out as minelayer that they repurposed into a medic.
>>729175490I mean, guy looks like he just loves collecting pot lids and could maybe be a tank. When I hear mine-layer, I think support, but that character design looks big and heavily armored.
>>729174720Its pretty funny to see AR doing as well as its doing with the same aesthetic but better looking everything.
>>729174557>the gay shits funnyFound the fag concord was made for
>>729172725>What were they thinking when they designed this thing?clearly they were just trying to meet their investors' diversity quota. as a result you get a soulless corporate marketing abomination
>>729175490This design is so much better.
>>729175665Or maybe he's heavily armored because he can't protect himself effectively, so to reduce his team reliance and let him explore the map for mining spots on his own he donned some plate.
>>729172725
wasn't there some sorta way to play on pirate servers? i'd be curious to play it just to see what they bombed with. it's almost too alluring with how infamous it's become to not experience the game in some form, even if it's not accurate.
>>729175357God I really did want them to try to rework it and release it again like they said they were planning to, but that was clearly just some tiny semblance of damage control. Now I'm just eager as fuck to see if Sony saw the writing on the wall and canceled Fairgame$ like they should, or are just continuing on with that inevitable disaster. Best case scenario for that game is that Sony just quickly and quietly moved devs off that project and never mention it again. No announcement of cancellation or anything just move on as quickly as possible.
>>729172725I genuinely believe they started with "we need a plus-size character for our ESG score," then grabbed the first fat guy and artist drew and made zero iteration on it.By the way, can you guess what his role in the game is?
>>729173896>TLOU multiplayerWhat would you even do? Throw bricks at each other?
>>729174910>This isn’t a joke, that’s the canon loreStop memeing me.
>>729175490Holy shit, a design with personality
>>729177437https://concord.wiki.gg/wiki/BazzIt gets even dumber.He also worked at a beauty palor and at the circus where he became famous across the whole galaxy......despite supposedly trying to hide from his family.
It’s so odd because you CAN make ugly characters and it’ll be fine. Just make them interesting and ugly. Look at junkrat from OW or Sion and twitch(literally just a trash rat) from LoL. Concord made ugly AND boring characters.
>>729177883I'd say this reads like some sort AO3 self-insert but that'd be an insult to the people who contribute to the site. I'm sure chatgpt couldn't make a backstory that bad.
>>729177437That is unironically the lore of the character.If it wasn't trying to be serious, it would be an amazing shitpost.
>design lead made people call her "the professor" despite never being a professor, a researcher, or even holding a PhD>you'd be reported to HR if you didn't call her that
>>729174412>fineNo one, absolutely NO ONE wants to play an overweight peruvian with FUPA pants. What the fuck are you talking about?
>>729172725Shekels
>>729178148Ugly doesn't necessarily mean unappealing. If anything, ugly characters tend to be more memorable.The problem with American leftard designers is that they see the concept of ugliness through a marxist lense, thus ugliness is a class/racial struggle.>things are ugly because of white privilege>being strong and fit is ableist>aestheticism does not define a personAnd so on.So when they design characters, it's not that they make them ugly on purpose. Because making a character ugly on purpose would be racist, sexist and classist (notice the projection).They make a character ugly because it's a reflection of their marxist ideals, so you end up with a retarded, unappealing charicature that not even /pol/ could come up with as a satire.Same shit happened with Dustborn.That have had a morbidly obese jeet with vitiligo who ended up being the backstabber.Who the fuck comes up with this shit? Only a unironic marxist.
>>729173475The entire fucking game and firewalk studios was a con job.The original parent company, ProbablyMonsters, makes a living off of building up half-finished trash and selling it to other companies, and some mega-retard at sony fell for it and doubled down.
I'm Daw
>>729174412That dude is supposed to be a laborer who worked in the mines all his life.You are a super-newfag.When we were going over all the character we were laughing at how fucked up the model designs and backstories were.
>>729178291Yeah, people actually suspected that at least some of that shit was either written by AI or someone REALLY inept. There's some genuinely poor writing, both in content and style, found in that galactic guide with some of the sentence structures being awkward as shit, words missing and the content being flat out boring and unengaging.Like, I tried going through a couple of those entries but every single time after some sentences I just check out mentally because it's THAT bad.Just TRY reading the bio of the shroom thing with its undecided pronouns:https://concord.wiki.gg/wiki/Lark
>>729179216That was one speculation, but not a major one.A bigger early speculation on here was that every girl was specifically messed with to make sure they didn't look nicer than Bazz.Which is why the best looking girl hides her face under a helmet.
>>729173475Because it was only going to lose money the longer it was up and running. They realized there was no path to breaking even on the game, never mind profit.
>>729172725>What were they thinking when they designed this thing?
>>729172725That's supposed to be a medic class.How? That's a fucking tank, with all that fat bullets would bounce off no problem
>>729179287>to make sure they didn't look nicer than Bazz.A fucking achievement in of itself.
>>729172725I thought it was a demo holding a rifle and a landmine.
>>729174412literally instantly proven >>729174224 right lol
>>729179216>fungal organism>bipedal colony, which implies hivemind behavior>it's a fucking generic humanoid alien with a mushroom capI'm 100% sure that they created the designs first and then they bullshitted the lore by feeding it to AI so it creates descriptions or viceversa.
>>729172797I hate to admit it but Batlleborn had a couple of okay to decent characters. 0 in Concord.
>>729179875I disagree due to how oddly focused they are on emotional shit without really explaining things.They tweaked it personally for sure.Bazz is too perfect in being a retarded troon for it to be anything else.
>>729179970>the character that seattle leftards put all their effort in was a troonPottery.
>>729178459This is what happens when people are too afraid to put their foot down against the mentally ill for fear of being called a "bigot"
>>729180201kind of.I was there in those old threads, and they put "effort" into all of them, even if half of that effort in some cases was just ripping off things, like the "not Wall-E" robotThey would have half-decent or even good ideas as a starting ground, and then when it came to writing those backstories they would fuck it up.Bazz is a great example because their story could easily be twisted into something FAR less retarded while still keeping them a stupid troon.They are just THAT shit at writing.
>>729173475They shut it down BECAUSE they invested so much money and time into it, only to get maybe 2K players at most. It was too expensive to do so badly, so the initial plan was to go back to the drawing board and retool the game to something else. But after a month or so they realized it was salvageable and decided to cut their losses and kill the whole project completely and axe the developer.
>>729181293unsalvageable*
>>729176178>1>gender identity, makes sense she seems like a dyke>sexual orientation ????
>>729182891that's the fun part, she's actually straightmauga even tries to flirt with her gender identity stat is entirely down to "she's a woman"
>>729176178>Japanese, non-white race and culture>Strong warrior woman>Amputee, physical impairment>Tomboy, breaking gender normsThere, scored highly on your diversity meter.
>>729172797At least Battleborn's characters weren't generic
>>729173240Quality over quality
>>729183516They were however, hideous.
>>729183467well you see.. Baiken was made by people who make cool shit, and not fucking progressive politically minded slopso while she's technically very progressive, they'd hate her in leftoid fields because she's both cool, racist, and also a boisterous tomboy who fucks and drinks and smokes in a way they despise.
>>729183467Okay, I'll give you... 10 diversity points, nvm 8 because japanese. She's conventionally attractive and sexualized, oof, that's -250 points.
>>729183467Japanese are basically white
>>729176178Torbjorn having no culture points kills me
>>729172725This is a photo of Concord's character designer. Take a wild guess what his religion is.
>>729183467Unironically Asian race and culture is "rated" lower on that meter, it's only one point above white.
>>729174098The guy is a healer/support character. No, his design doesn't convey that, he looks like a tank but the devs were more concerned about breaking stereotypes and teaching the audience that obese people can be generous and supportive friends too, instead of lazy pigs
>>729172725sometimes you just wanna wreck shit as retarded looking fatass.It doesn't work though when every other character is equally retarded looking.
>>729174910Why would delivery workers be cutting open tons of boxes? They aren't supposed to do that.Does a single developer know what it's like to work for UPS? Or did someone come up with cool knife tricks for opening the 10 amazon boxes they get each day with consoomer slop? And they assumed that's what the people at the warehouse do all day, carve open nerd cratesCripes
>>729172725This reminds me of Dispatch character designs and that one didn't bomb
>>729183467Having huge heaving breasts instantly reduces all of the meters to zero
>>729172725The devs wanted to represent themselves.It's a self insert character probably lol.
>>729179151Im sorry
>>729183467it appeals to the male-gays so it cancels out
>>729184521Are you braindead?
>>729173475Because continuing to upkeep servers for something that was getting like 100 players max was just burning money
>>729184552huge breasts are actually another impairmentlook at her walk cycle and her default hunched over posture, her boobs WRECKED her back
>>729183467unironically "noooo not like that!"
>>729172725They were literally thinking Kamala would win and the right wing chuds would be defeated foreverThat and (((blackrock))) funding
>>729184735You're forgetting the main point.>would a straight man like this?>yes? you get 0 diversity pointsThat's literally it
>>729172725investors are high on inclusion
>>729173475If they released the Deborah Wilson skin for Bazz like they listed on their roadmap, it would have negated some of the damage.
>>729184735She's got the chad stride
>>729172725Ok so the jumpsuit, the gloves, the coat, the goggles, the weird pipes on the chest, and the demeanour being completely un-alert and low-intensity tell me this is a noncombat guy, probably working with heavy machinery in a chilly environment.This is some kind of NPC you escort to fix the cargo funicular or something.He definitely has no agency and is easily startled. And his pockets are too low for his hands to reach; even if he bends down, the pockets will descend, so they're not for him to access. He likely has some gnomes or squirrels that use those pockets while they climb into small spaces during repairs.
>>729172725>no self insert challenge>difficulty: impossible
>>729183975
>>729185801Get a second line, dude.
>>729183467Uh.....that's different.
>>729183467She's also beautiful, and that appeals to the male gaze and empowers the patriarchy, so that immediately circles back around to being unacceptable and her disability is a disgusting fetish fuel for savior commplex males.
>>729187859>someone cuts off your arm>you get called disgusting fetish fuel
>>729177336It already existed anon, it came with the first tlouIt was a third person shooter where you had to scavenge supplies in the levels to craft ammunition and toolsIt was really good, and for tlou2 they prototyped a few different variants, at one point promising it was going to be some kind of massive gaas mmo thingThen they canned it, thank fuck>a simple third person shooter with a scavenge gimmick is 2hard for nudevs
>>729173475This game costed as much as Costa Concordia the cruise ship. Let that sink in.
>>729185407
>>729172725Flowchart of critical race theory, dei, and feminist desired traits slapped together to produce a design that you are morally obligated to like you bigot.
>>729187927Yes, that's exactly how it works. All of it is double standards and twisting everything positive that humanity has to appeal to divide and conquer rhetoric.
>>729183467Honorary white or something
>>729172725He's a medic and under normal circumstances you could have a thick medic who's design reflect a high defense so that he can protect others better, but they just made him portly and nothing about his design screams high defense or being a medic at all.
>>729172725Someones nephew wanted to be in the game
>>729188214it do be like that
>>729184482I would think that first and foremost they live in the distant future and are probably not storing things for space transport in cardboard boxes.
>>7291886795'8 kings
