Would Concord have been a success if they used hot girls like in Overwatch?

Could I make a game called CONCORDIAN that is just reskinned/renamed versions of the Concord roster? Single player game.
Like maybe you help Bazz (called Razz now maybe) load freight and cut boxes or something. Stuff like that.
>>
>>738924424
It's not about "giving boners", it's about "you will be looking at that person for several weeks", and if it's not something pleasing to the eye, you will not want to it.

For example, mario, most people don't want to fuck mario, but mario is not an constant eyesore.
>>
>>738924715
but none of the Concord characters are eyesores unless you get really mad about not wanting to fuck them

>>738924928
The designs are bad because you really can't tell what most of the characters roles are from looking at them like the nigga with the blue jacket is a medic but nothing about him says that besides maybe the goggles. I don't care if it's woke or not but from the designs alone I don't care to play the game
>>
>>738924928
Lmao. Are you for real? They look like someone asked chatgpt to gen some fortnite characters.

You're right, it's almost like art isn't a singular monolith and there's more to execution than just concept and an intelligent person can compartmentalise those things and judge them independantly. Retard

they aren't stylized at all and it looks like whoever designed them used Guardians of the Galaxy as a template

i was going to say, I know there are videos about TF2's character design but they really don't get enough credit for their work, it really stands out when you see boring designs like these
>>
>>738924928
Why do the faggots hate white people so much? The only white characters here are two faggy loser looking males. None of the females are truly white. It is sad how much these losers hate beauty. There are plenty of beautiful asian and black women out there yet this is the bullshit they churn out. I am convinced this game was made as some sort of agitation rage bait test against gamers to see what the response was and it was an overwhelming fuck off with this bullshit to these corporate faggot shills.

Fuck off anon you faggot.
>>
>>738920062
No. The gameplay was mid as fuck and overall people don't like these types of games that much

These are the definition of 'design by committee', no single person is at fault here
>>
>>738925945
It's because they probably went to foreign investors and given the time period Concord was released, with how social media was at the time, you'd think the entire market for videogames is just women, especially black women and probably thought "yeah, this garbage is probably what westeners like"

people make fun of brows and asians for latching onto gacha but at least they are attracted to beautiful girls with huge tits and asses holding guns. When devs make games aimed at westeners, they design the ugliest shit imaginable and for good reason but that's another can of worms
>>
>>738925995
I actually thought it was the best character by far in that shitshow of designs sort of because of what you said and also the fact that it was a fagbot. It was impressively unappealing to the point of being quite funny. Had that character been in a better game people would have actually liked it if I had to guess.

Nah, even hot girls and obnoxious fanservice wouldn't have saved it.

>>738926189
I think you are over complicating this. I really do think that this whole shit with gaming even besides Concord and even a lot of this woke politics in general is really just agitation bait primarily. Of course there are mentally ill fucks like the trannies but these people will only go so far as a society will let them. And of course they were going to latch on to power if people were willing to give it to them.

However that as you said in your post is a whole other can of worms. In short it really was just all a disturbing beta test by people in positions of power with practically all the money in the world to burn for their agendas. They wanted to shift people into becoming faggot losers but that failed. They knew Concord would fail I don't care how much is said otherwise. It was made to agitate the typical male gamer who despises everything about that sort of left leaning political nonsense especially in their gaming. All the employees that were involved with the making of that game were simply their for a paycheck. Nothing more.

They all are. OP character is now the least horrible due to memetics mutation. Honestly that's the only one I would use for the comedic factor

>>738924928
I'm going to rate the designs of these characters, I have no idea what any of them were supposed to do nor do I care
1) kinda cool
2) sucks
3) I like this design a good bit
4) awful
5) pretty cool, I like it
6) awful
7) generic dude solider, 0/10
8) doom guy but a woman, nothing special but is okay
9) meh
10) decent design
11) not that bad
12) if they recolored him he would be cool, that turquoise is such an ugly color
13) flaccid penis with arms and legs
14) I actually like this design
15) awful
16) easily the best one of the bunch
There is some potential in there but it wasn't utilized at all
>>
>>738920062
It would have at least had a fighting chance. That said, the art direction in general was terrible. Even non-human characters looked bad, and the best design was the yellow trash can. They probably could have never made a hot girl.
That said, it was a hero shooter and while people claimed the gameplay was fine, you basically have to go above and beyond if you want to see success.

something that always strikes me as funny is that when leftists try to make characters diverse they take away body parts or give them disabilities

>>738924928
The cat helmet/rocket launcher looks like it could be from Quake 3, if only the body/suit itself didn't look so unfinished and boring. The android in the bottom right could perhaps be salvaged with a bit less /fa/ and "modern audience purple", maybe give it a hat similar to the guy above.

The rest range from idiotic to nothing.

First, they use a lot of light colors for some reason and it doesn't really fit the tone of the game. It also makes the designs way too busy. Second, most of the design are generic. Take rocket girl. Like, the idea isn't bad (not great though) but her design is so bland This is one design that would have benefited from more sex appeal. Third is too many black people unironically. Blacks make up 13% of the US population and they are only going to play COD, GTA and Sports games (and anime games for the few black weebs). Most of the audience was going to be white so you should put more white characters. Really, this alone is why AAA keeps flopping and why anime is getting more popular.

The character that sums up all the game's issues is the furry alien girl. Its a solid concept for a sci-fi setting. People like cat girls already and here's a blue one. But everything about this is fucked up. The colors are too bright and busy and it looks like her face got hit by a shovel. Do you want to play as this character? Hell no. You should always encourage Rule 34 for your characters because it keeps them relevant when the game is off. Overwatch would have died a long time from Blizzard's mismanagement if it wasn't for PornHub. Not surprising Blizzard is leaning into the attractive girls more including giving them lots of costumes.

I feel like even if they had played into character designs like Bazz's they could've been successful.
Bazz is a fun-looking character, he looks like a weird black character from a 90's anime.
the problem is the character designs mostly look stupid instead of wacky.

From right to left, then top to bottom

>1. Knock off starlord with a life vest for some reason
>2. Not an obverly terrible design, but her outfit is a bit... nothing, she looks like she just got out of bed and threw whatever on to take the trash out
>3. Generic big tough alien drax knockoff, nothing interesting about the design, face paint looks awkward as his head just looks skinned and his features hard to define from a dsitance
>4. Literally a girl wearing plastic tubing from a recycling bin with a broken ninja blender on her head (This is a running theme)
>5. Bug with rice farmer hat, one of the least offensive designs, but looks like it could be a generic npc
>6, Probably one of the worst of the bunch, generic space marine design except its a girl (Terrible to start with) and the armour looks like it was designed to be soft instead of hard, wtf
>7. Another not awful design, but because its literally just a guy with body armour on, this is net zero, this is Mr John Smith, it has nothing bad, but also nothing good
8. Looks like an unfinished character, wtf is this, its like a mannequin wearing a doomguy helmet with awkward colours?
9. Another grandma character, definitely unique and not like every other game with a large roster doesnt try to chuck grandma's in for le ebin kindly grandmother memes + female empowerment + aged representation, outfit again looks like an npc
>10. Another okay ish design that just looks unfinished, its just a reptile/amphilbian girl, with regular clothes on? Wheres the rest of it?
>11. Would be an ok character design if it wasn't a token black female rep, -points for once again refusing to design a black female with a nice face, they all have to be OOGA BOOGAS according to totally not racist western devs
>12.Looks like a dental assistant wearing a funny hat, what the fuck
>13. First actually decent design, but is still very forgettable
>14. BAZ
Cont.

>>738920062
No. It would have just died less quickly.
Good aesthetics only alleviate and or slow the inevitable failure. If the concept wasn't worth shit to begin with than good looking characters will only distract you from how bad the game is for only so long.
>>
>>738931864
>>738924928
Finally
>15. No wait, THIS is the worst design, androgynous, fat, mystery meat dressed like a garbage truck driver, not a single part of this design is attractive in any way shape or form, its like it was designed to look stupid
>16. Possibly best design in the roster,cool robot, but weird clashing colour scheme and clothes dont match the rest of the game or the fact that its a robot, its the best purely because it isnt IMMEDIATELY ugly and is a bit weird rather than just bad
>>
Probably, certainly would've lasted a little longer
They cannot force the culture change they so desperately want
>>
>>738920062
They would have also needed to fire the people who got them to do that in the first place. People like their art director and the Professor.

>>738924424
Sorry to hear about your sexual dysfunction, but if the bombs the post MeToo AAA cycle weren't enough, let me simplify it: This school of design has had literaly billions of dollars of failure. Sexual attraction is a known selling point for the men who's money drives this industry. Pragmata shows that your strawman is pathetic. Appeal to the market or die.

>>738920062
The main game mode was shit. OW didn’t launch with hot girls, it launched with GOONER ICONS. Characters that inspired so much masturbation that it probably had its own impact on the birth rate. It also played better on launch than it ever has since. Conjob had no chance.

No.

It had no unique ideas or atleast a pivotal game mode that felt "fresh". It didn't have a pre-existing IP nor the infinite China bucks that Marvel Rivals has.
