Concord 4?
Tortanic 12
>>745953615WTF Max told me everything was fine?!
>the walls cave in as Riot realizes it will not be a gaming powerhouse and is stuck in a live service new gens wont playohnonono
>>745953779I legitimately don't understand how this guy became such a face for the FGC. Like ive never seen him at or show up to any of the huge tournaments every year but whenever there is some big reveal everyone talks about this dudes opinion like it fucking matters at all
>>745953615Give Ekko his mohawk back and I might play it for a bit
>>745953916He started making fgc related content before everyone else.
Why did this fail?
>>745953615Who's the final boss of arcade mode?????
>>745953779This reminds me of that guy that made a video on why RTS are dead and how revive them and then went on to shill for Stormgate 1 to 1 betraying every point he made in the video.
>>745953615>Vanguard nobody touching it as long as they wont remove Vanguard, literally only "anti-cheat" that crashes OS. Fuck this malware company
>>745953615this game originally had hand painted character models instead of cel-shaded slop and their designs were way more accurate.it got put under new leadership and turned into this crap.
>>745954502Yeah and I remember Katarina being in the promotional concept art
>>745953679What are the first 11?>>745953916Oh look at that, a bunch of retards with no dignity and too much free time on their hands prop up a slightly less, but still retarded person to answer the every beck and call of. What are the odds?
>>745954084das od and hype doe
>>745953615It's actually a racial-gender hierarchyWhite men at the top, women at the bottom. Based.
>>745953779Personally I don't listen to e-celebs. Just stick to your instincts.
>>745953841I love how when Arcane released everyone told the show watchers to never try league of legends and that it's a terrible experience, the fandom itself anti shills the game
>>745953615Concord 5, Marathon is just in zombie mode
>>745953615paywalling characters in a fighting game
>>745953916The actual fgc players don't have the time or ability to make content that's not them practicing the game
>>745954113Heh
>>745955074this, content creation is for oldheads like Jwong who don't feel like competing anymore.
>>745954456People largely don't care that much, they'd probably earn 3-5% more revenue, but it's definitely offset by the data they're harvesting from it
>>745953916He was making content about fighting games before the FGC really blew up and most of his followers are people from back then who are still loyal because they feel like they “grew up” alongside him. His content is also really safe because his whole thing is trying to just be this heckin humble dood who just loves video games, so anyone that attacks him is accused of being miserable or jealous.He honestly wasn’t that bad back then but these days he’s entirely insufferable and one of the most blatant shills on the entire internet.
>>745953615It may not have cost as much, but it's a comically large fuckup especially for an established IP. A decade of effort resulted in a casualized tagshit game that ended up even having more degen tagshit to murder and filter new players. The roster picks also didn't do it any favors when other than Ahri, the other main face was an ugly black twink>>745953916He has been around for fucking everMax doesn't have any big tournament commentator spots, wins, etc to his name, but he has been slaving away yelling LETS GO for longer than most anons have been aliveI still like some of his earlier shithttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nXQoB_tjfOA
>>745955241>, but he has been slaving away yelling LETS GO for longer than most anons have been aliveAssist Me is older than a lot of anons here I'd be willing to bet.
>>745955215everyone in my irl circle stopped playing when vanguard came up. We tolerated it first but crashes were too much. Vanguard even crashed lol games with entire lobbies getting kicked. Absolute disaster.
>>745955241>It may not have cost as muchDevs and staff were earning 6 figure salary for 10 years. The game probably cost $30-50m.
>>745953779
>>745953615why do they keep making this archaic genre no one but third worlders and trannies care about
>>745955523riot's annual revenue is like 1.5-3 billion dollars apparently, if that were the case funding 2xko was only 0.3% of riot's yearly spending. that seems really low
Shameful roster. Worse because Yasuo and/or Ekko is in EVERY team in EVERY game
>>745956246Why not start with the characters League launched with?
>>745956246Arcane really ruined everything.
>>745956246>Not a single OG hero most people are familiar with>No Lee Sin, the fucking martial artist>No popular picks like Lux or EzrealRiot hired nothing but retarded people to make the game holy shit
>>745953615this trainwreck predates concord
>>745953779Didn't you see his newest video on 2XKO? Why are you posting a vid from 8 months ago instead of the new one?
>>745956327won't matter. fighting games are a dead genre.
>>745953615>everything that flops is a concordretarded newfag, or actually falseflagging to erode the meaning of words?
>>745956620ofcourse hes gonna fucking backpedal when it goes to shit lmao
Riot are genuinely the victim here.
>>745956521Honestly those are pretty decent champs to shill something,Only oddball picks are cait, illaoi and Senna, just that 3 oddballs in an already small roster is a horrible idea
>>745953916He's basically asmongold if he didn't become a chud.
>>745956647fighting game series sell 8-11mil copies with their entries.
>>745955523way more. they had 150 people working on the game and then cut them down to 80 after launch.
>>745956906 2cool2suceed
>>745956989I like Sennayes I do have jungle fever
>>745956906Look at these bunch of scammers laughing at Riot
>>745954502>their designs were way more accurate.You can almost hear the corporate doublespeak for this change right now.>Erm, actually those designs only work in an isometric perspective, so we need to redesign characters to be visually interesting in a 2D sidescrolling perspective>(Actually, they just want free license to shit all over other designer's work with their own worse garbage that would never hold up on its own)
>Company realizes they suck ass at making anything that isn't just LoLsad
>>745956521Sett would've been a good pick too
>>745956246>Let's give the male black character the killmonger cut and the female black character an afro.one single brain cell shared across the entirety of california
>>745958118Sett has the perfect fighting game personality but yeah, Riot sucks at decision making
>>745957570Him and the FGC devs 100% just leeched off Riot money for 10 years. They had no concrete ideas and just floated around, putting vague ideas onto a whiteboard until it was time to pony up and make a real game.Its like when I've already mentally quit a job but clock in every day to fuck around until they fire/lay me off
Biggest fail was when they decided to shift from a 1v1 fighting game similar to Rising thunder to 2v2 tag long-ass combo slop.They wanted to make a casual friendly fighting game for everyone but decided to make it in to the most niche and unpopular genre of fighting game.While deciding just slapping on single button specials will automatically get all casuals to play it.
>>745956620>why do you care about what this person said during the hype?you're exactly the kind of fool that these ecelebs are designed to griftenjoy your terrible decisions
>>745956906>>745957570>>745958295>hire 150 of your unemployed anime/marvel playing tranny friends to get huge riot tech salaries>make a dogshit tag fighter with 2000 hit blockstrings that nobody new to the genre is ever going to play>sell it to the execs based on easy inputs>produce 1 (one) character per year for ten years>when it all finally crumbles and you get fired claim "lmao we didn't even want to make a good game anyway" (>>745957121)At least nobody sane will ever let these retards near a studio ever again
>>745957121This is the cope they will put in the DSM-6 to illustrate delusion
>>745953615There's a chance this cost more than Concord's 200 million
>>745955523>The game probably cost $30-50m.People are severely underestimating the size of this failure if that's what anons think. 160 devs in california for 10 years is already well above $100 million. But people like the Cannon brothers were probably being paid way better than lowly programmers. Then you have the e-sports costs. The advertising costs, because people pretend Riot didn't invest anything in advertising but they did. Then you remember this all started with Riot buying the Rising Thunder studio, however much this costed.
>>745957121Where does this comes from?
>>745960236https://www.patreon.com/pattheflip/posts/thank-you-2xko-167265357He is right by the way, "how to make it profitable" is someone else's job, and if they were doing a good job they wouldn't have hired Pat in the first place, or let him do whatever he wanted with no oversight.
>>745958707>Get an unlimited check to make your dream game>Make literally nothingIt's amazing how nepotism manages to always favor the most useless uninspired dregs
>>745960336Will give it a read later. Thanks, anon
>>745953615But Concord's hideous and these characters look sort of cool. Teemo and Warwick look great at least. I don't know about the brown tranny or why there's two Jinxes or however you spell her name.>>745953916He made MvC3 guides on YouTube back in the day and, shortly after posting a video about how awesome KI was and how he hopes Microsoft does something with it, they announced the remake and gave him exclusive interviews and eventually let him help work on the game. Then he started streaming and people liked him for his enthusiasm. He doesn't just stream fighting games and he doesn't have some amazing competitive career or anything, people just find him entertaining.Everyone calls him a shill but I think he's just overly positive about everything. He plays every fighting game right when it comes out but if he doesn't like it he just won't play it again. He's not going to sit there shitting on it, he only shits on stuff once he realizes he won't be tarred and feathered for doing it. For an entire year he was giving mixed reactions to Tokon and kept saying, "I'm not saying it's bad, I just don't know if it's for me." How is that shilling?
>>745953916Max is a retard but he's a genuine retard. You don't waste tens of thousands of dollars of your own money trying to bring back a game nobody liked because it's one of your favorites if you're just grifting.Sajam on the other hand is a fucking snake.
>>745953615Riot should have cancelled the game back in 2019 when Seth Killian and everyone who wasn't buttbuddies with the Cannons left the project. But then everyone would've called them evil for that.
>have characters that would be perfectly fit for a fighting game like Sett or motherfucking Lee Sin a MARTIAL ARTIST character who is part of the OG ROOSTER>don't include any of the yordle girls or lolis, no cute chars>censored designs>some really stupid name instead of having LoL in the title>omg guyse why we fail??
>>745961934*don't have
>Fighting games famously the most ephemeral genre of games, even the "best" fighting games lose 90% of their playerbase within a year as the playerbase moves to whatever is shiny and new>Entire FG ecosystem works on new-game sales so that when that 90% fucks off, they still made enough money to continue working on a new game>Riot decides to dump 10 years of budget on making then remaking a single F2P fighting game, ensuring that EVEN IF IT SUCCEEDS it will be a monstrous financial disaster>Could have taken 3 year dev cycles and released a $20 buy-in fighting game then released two sequels with mechanical iterations each time in that same timespan and made a fuckload of moneydumbest company in human history
>>745960336this is such a fucked up admission that it wouldnt surprise me if he got sued for that.-literally zero gamedev experience but put into a lead role somehow-never actually cared about the project, just wanted to use it to learn how to make a fighting game-didnt care about the game performing or him getting fired-when actually talented people mass quit because the project wasnt moving forward he hired his fgc tranny friends who also didnt have any game dev experience-spent time upskilling them while all of them took full california dev salaries-was also in favor of reworking the game multiple times-likens his time at the studio as getting a fighting game phd-doesnt want to work in the industry after all thisnever hire narcissists. never hire leftoids.
>>745958707>took them 10 years to produce pretty much nothing>still see people cope that 2xko could of been good if they just had more timeMan what a shitshow
What a shitshow lolThe only thing that would make me view Rito more positively now would be finally bringing back Dominion and Twisted TreelineClassic is a nice addition but not enough
>>745962586its evident that if it wasnt for riot finally setting a real dead line after a decade it would still be in development for another decade.
