Concord may go down in history as one of the biggest gaming flops of all time. The Concord play your account was less than 600 on Steam Charts less than a week after launch. Console sales weren't much better and Sony pulled the game from its stores. Sony also refunded anybody who purchased the game. I've never seen this happen before. Even cyberpunk 2077 got better support than this. So today I want to talk about why this game failed in terms of marketing, Market saturation, it's gameplay, and unfortunately it's politics as well.

The big reason for failure is, why would I buy a hero shooter for $40 when overwatch 2 exist which is free and a superior game. Also valorant is on gamepass,, apex legends is also free.
Perfect explanation
the most likely reason as to why the game costs $40 is because when the game started development Overwatch was being sold for that price
@@harveyknguyen you just can't make people pay for games like this one anymore. It's not 2016 any more. When there are better games for FREE, you need to match it at least.
@@nikolagvozdenovic940 yeah exactly
Really dislike this angle. $40 hurts it but it was definitely not the main reason for its failure
People will pay for things that look interesting even when its derivative. Concord just didnt click/grab anyone
I think the gaming industry has a huge issue that suits are essentially making the games. Using numbers and algorithms to make games instead of letting the artists just make the games.
Agreed, there is no sane artist in the world that would design these characters and be honestly happy about it. They look like they've been designed by some very bad AI program.
not really, suits barely affect a product, the creatives, producers and game directors far more to blame than a nameless CEO or board of directors
It’s modern gaming. It’s not the player’s responsibility to like a game. It’s the game’s responsibility to make the game likable, fun and worth player’s time and money
And then you have Astrobot, a simple fun game with no microtransactions, day 1 pass, dlc add on, no online service. Just simple plug and play game that's fun to play.
Nobody ever points this out so I will: the only thing Concord got right was insanely detailed and smooth character animations. Some of these are just pure eye candy, and that's with the massive debuff that is the god awful character designs and color choices.
100Mill? Talented Devs?
Sony shut it down
Hey Activision! Take notes, shut down Call of Duty
All I have to say is if your characters in a hero shooter don’t have rule 34 potential you fucked up.
👆🏻
Real (joke)
I mean, I've seen ALOT of Overwatch "art" and I've never touched the game.
my man is speaking fax you need to be in love with the characters (not necessarily waifus/husbandos)
Basically
The only reason I think a lot of people heard about the game including myself, is because people were complaining abt it. I never saw any positive exposure for the game
I didn’t even know the game existed until the new of it’s getting shut down.
The fact that they thought making a hero shooter in 2024 was a good idea is mind-boggling even worse when they tied it to a $40 price tag. That's got to be really embarrassing on Sony's part.
To be fair, they thought about it in 2016, it just take them so long to finish and release the game - long development times are part of the problem.
Ugly characters, bog-standard gameplay, $40 entry fee, and it showed up years late to the party.
This game couldn’t do anything BUT fail.
Nothing about the game is captivating. Nothing about it makes me say, "man I should check that out."
This is common among modern triple A titles. Although to be honest, it is quite rare that they are this bland, with such a massive budget, with such poor choices along the way. This is a joke to be honest. Nobody in their right mind would sign off on this going to be succesful.
Especially not at $40
The ONLY way this game has a chance is if they literally redesign most of the roster and make it go free to play. That's the only way I can see the community coming around and starting to make positive content about the game. They need to swallow their pride to see success
I think it is too late for that. They already pulled the plug, refunded everybody and cancelled the whole project. It is somewhat unique in that it is a far worse faillure than almost any other title in the history of gaming.
I believe financially, possible only New World could be a more massive faillure, but I have no insight in their financials. Amazon has a trackrecord of overspending on nearly everything, as we know from Rings of Power's insane budget, but they might have made a decent amount by being extremely ambitious with their MMORPG, as well as having the most insane marketing budget for that title. It seems to have died out long ago though, judging from the gaming channels that offer up to date info.
Sure is hard to market this game when the heroes are ugly as sin
A big factor is that the average gamer really only has enough time to put serious hours into one, maybe two live service games, and after so many years of so many live service games coming out, basically everyone has had time to find one if they wanted to. The number of gamers open to finding a new live service game at any given time now is pretty low, so to penetrate the market, it needs to be either a uniquely exciting IP or a fresh new genre breaking title.
How many people were really going to leave whatever live service game they’ve put years into for Concord when it’s 90% the same stuff already available? Traditional video games are like shirts. Even if you own a ton, you can always get another new one if it looks good enough. Live service games are like phones. Most people only need one, and unless there’s a compelling reason to replace it, you probably won’t switch it out.
Concord didn’t seem to do a ton wrong, but it offered very little reason to pick it as a game to sink hundreds of hours into over the rest of the games on the market. Being a mediocre game in the live service market is worse news than being an awful game in the single player market.
You may as well be talking to a brick wall JT. If they are so delusional that they believe the political atmosphere on twitter is an accurate representation of reality and that spending nothing on marketing out of the $100 million total budget to make a game that only appeals to about 4% of the population (but only about 5% of that 4% will actually play) is a good idea and sound business strategy…..then you can’t tell these people nothing. I believe the people making it knew it would flop (why they spent 8 years trying to fix it) but they knew they could milk 8 years employment, and tens of millions of dollars in salary from the people bankrolling it and they didn’t care if it was successful as long as it pushed their agenda and paid their salary.
100 MILLION to make. This needs to be investigated. Because their are some managers and bosses that stole money
I don’t think quality and being different even matters anymore. People just want to play these fps shooters that have been playing for years. There are TONS of people who play only CoD or only CS. More, and more people who play some single-player games + 1-2 live service ones. And it’s getting harder and harder to change their habits and make them play something new. Especially because games = friends. And making friends try something new is even harder ;)
Agreed. If you're going to release a new game in this crowded live-service genre, you need something to hook people in. You need to be an established developer with a reputation or have a popular license. Riot is an established dev, so they were able to get people to try out Valorant. Marvel Rivals has a popular license, it should do fairly well. There is a My Hero battle royale that is doing well enough to keep receiving support.
Not everything can be a lightning in a bottle like Apex.
Doesn't help when the scumbag devs start insulting gamers on Twitter. Same happened with the devs of the latest Saints Row as well. These toxic devs are to blame for pushing out substandard games and then being pricks about their failure. They should never be allowed to make games again.
Thanks for saying upfront you’ll avoid “Wokeness”. Appreciate how many of you exclude yourself from the real conversation. Can’t wait for a compilation of matrix dodging when more comes out :).
"Why is this goth lady talking to me" boy at 32 I'd love to have that problem 😂
I still think XDefiant's core gameplay is really fun. However, currently there is no meaningful or even personally rewarding progression (Weapon Mastery takes a "trillion" levels and your Player Level only increases once in a blue moon), this still leaves playing just fun... Unfortunately, due to Disbanding Lobbies, you basically spend more time in Matchmaking than playing, on top of that they've only added TWO 6v6 maps since the game launched!
Yeah agreed once they made the changes to weapon xp for mastery camos after like a week I was done... at that point I knew they would make it a grind fest cause they couldn't pump out content fast enough😪
"Talented Dev Team" - WTF?!?
Can I just start by saying this is a massive understatement video. Should I applaud you for sticking up for a game that is clearly flawed in nearly every way, trying to see the positive? I think the criticism is just way too light for how misguided the devs for this game have been.
Like many, the first time I actually heard about this game was through extreme negativity around the character models. And to be fair, when I saw them, I thought they were a joke. Leaving aside all the diversity issues that people associate with them, they aren't just characters you would want to play. I was already critical of some of the Overwatch character models, but at least most of them were fun and original. They at the very least had some sense of style and craft to them.
The concord characters however, are a disaster. I have honestly looked at each and everyone of them and there isn't a single one that spoke to me, or that I would want to play. Now if the gameplay or level design would be amazing, that could save it a little, but even there the levels look boring, the weapons are bog standard and the gamemodes are all carbon copies of other, far better and more succesful titles. What reason does a new player have to even try this game, let alone keep playing it? Really, there is nothing here.
For modern gamedesigners, instead of trying to do a copy of a gametype in an oversaturated market, that can barely sustain what is now there, they should maybe start by coming up with something original. Instead of starting with a live service model, they should begin by designing something that people would want to play. Take a look at Forever Winter or Black Myth Wukong. Those are some bonkers ideas, but they draw in a crowd .. and people love it.
I think part of the problem is that when it seems like the most thought-out or unique thing is the "wokeness," then people are going to fixate on that. I, for one, want diversity in games, but even I understand why it irked the anti-woke and I agree to an extent. It feels like that was their only "selling point" while not offering anything else interesting. It feels like it took too long to develop, too many similar games came out, and they pulled a Bud Light and thought "crap, how can we appeal to a different audience?" and went "woke". This ultimately could have been avoided with better market and character design
The fact that it cost $40 is mind boggling when so many other games on the market are free.
See, here's the thing about DEI. It's not the concept by itself that offends people, but they've spent the past decade actively villifying the average male gamer in order to forward their agenda. Because of that, they've branded themselves our enemies.
No they haven’t my man. It’s terminally online people who wanna be victims looking for extremes on both sides
I guess that´s the difference between marketing in movie business Vs marketing in gaming business: in movie business, the motto is "every publicity is good publicity". people are willing to pay and see if a movie really is that bad. in gaming however, when you get bad publicity before the game is released, it´s over. no gamer spends money on a game they know is bad
Game companies keep pandering to persons that had no intention of playing their game anyway.
But honestly, if your game doesn't have waifus then it's not going to sell.
You can sell a game without Waifus, just design something cool and worthwhile. It also helps to be aware of the fact that unless you are able to innovate massively in an existing genre, it is far easier to spawn something new instead of re-hashing something that was already done far better 10 years ago.
@@pinobluevogel6458 That's too much effort. Just stick some wives in there.
I hate the overwatch comparison. This game is destiny with more classes. Heroes are where the comparison stops. There's no payload, no capture. This is not overwatch
And you recommended it based on identity politics as opposed to its gameplay. It's called toxic positivity or aka access journalism. I just watched a video on it.
Sony didn't even say let's make it free to play. They just nuked it. Not sure what happened behind closed doors, but we can all agree the design was God awful. Keep an eye out for Marathon from Bungie. Looking like the same recipe.
Woke or not, its a very ugly game. Chars to are just ugly.
Yep - you need at least a decent numbers of characters people want to play as and Concord seem to miss that.
Let this serve as the peak example of the cultural disconnect between devs and players.
20 years ago this was a none issue because everyone was on the same page.
The cultural deterioration and modern millennial devs have prioritized biased messaging and delusional forced inclusivity over engaging gameplay elements and interesting mechanics etc.
Woke and capitalism don't mix
Remember there were over 1 million people who played the beta, there is where we found the game was meh. It also not releasing on any of the PS+ tiers is a miss.
I would like to point out that everything went wrong with this, because this has to be the biggest failure ever registered for a game in history
There are many, but this would be among the most costly ones for sure.
And why it had to be this expensive, I have no clue. This looks worse than most games that came out 10 years ago, those had maybe 1/100th of the budget to work with.
I feel that the real reason Concord had failed is because Sony keeps insisting on PSN and country restrictions and limited its reach. Those that wanted to give it a chance couldn't even play the game because Sony's too arrogant.
Helldivers 2 succeeded beyond anyone's expectations because of the lack of restrictions put on it until Sony decided to force PSN integration on it. While they eventually backed out, the country restrictions were never removed. With no new players coming in, Helldivers 2 fell off.
The character design is atrocious. No idea wtf you're talking about.
No marketing. I didn't know about it until a couple weeks before release
I first heard about Concord reading articles about it failing, and in most ways, I'm literally the target market for this game.
A good game doesn't need much marketing at all. It will go viral quickly after being played by only a few well known streamers.
This game went viral as well, for having ridiculously bad character designs. I wouldn't have even known about it, if not for that nonsense being the laughing stock for almost a week or so. Every serious and non-serious gaming channel had a take and nearly all of it was bad.
The problem with the “wokeness” in this game is the “realism” of the character designs. It’s not that the cast is diverse. Some of these people use “realism” as a bar of quality and that’s just not how most art works.
And I would be considered “woke” by a lot of people
Firewalk started this game as soon Overwatch 1 was out. And for a smaller teamx they took why to long to develop. And idk who had the idea to change for this game at launch.
Lawbreakers was a better Hero Shooter, in. The zero gravity mechanic was very unique when it came to the movement; some of the character designs were pretty cool and didn't look like generic side NPC characters. They also were not afraid to be edgy and show some gore. Unfortunately, it didn't do so well.
this is why ps5 pro is expensive they wanted to recover their loss
Miss the days of you and Tmartn gettin that early cod access and bringing all the gameplay
meanwhile at Sony HQ... Sony, "We have no profitable IPs" Bloodborne Fans, "OPEN YOUR EYES!"
[Edit] 10:39 Yeah that's how I heard about it too. A big red flag for any piece of media, not just games is when something like that is up front be it "woke" or not, It usually means that the substance of the thing in question is bad. Same goes for when a game is showing you a lot of graphic fidelity or "in game cutscenes" and fails to show any gameplay that's significant. Sometimes not entirely for that reason but there's a lot of sentiment around that viewpoint that's been proven time and time again. So goes the adage one time is a mistake, two times is a coincidence, three times enemy action.
Since that sort of things been going on for a long time now the experience is ingrained.
If you're going for a game with '80s or '90s sci-fi aesthetic just play Warhammer 40K space Marine 2. nails it perfectly and it looks very very accurate to Warhammer
At least it looks aesthetically pleasing and feeds the male powerfantasy. Especially WH40K Space Marine 2 looks like it is going to be an amazing title, with the 3 player coop mode.
I think Concord should have been a Co-Op shooter first, PVP second.
Destiny is currently losing it's playerbase, and a game like Concord is exactly where those players would want if it was PVE first.
For me I just wanted a good looking character, they don’t need to be 10/10 sexiest man and women alive, just anyone cool. Take pharah for example she’s covered head to toe in armor, but her armor and other skins are cool as hell. And one of them looks like a GUNDAM. While concords look like discount cosplayers.
I'm a big overwatch 2 fan that used to play Destiny. This game seems to be made for me, but I barely knew it had an open beta
The marketing was bad partly due to the short turnaround from reveal to release. It got a teaser trailer last year, an official trailer at a state of play at the end of may, and the early access beta on july 12th, with the only real marketing being that the game won't have a battle pass lol
What happened to Concord really shouldn't surprise anyone if you really think about it. Live service games are everywhere right now, and all these games require large time investment. With every live service game that comes out it gets more and more difficult to convince people that their time is best spent playing it. Add a $40 purchase price and you get a game where everyone just says "We're not interested." It was bound to happen eventually, just unfortunate a game like Concord was the one to go down like that
I love all of those types of shows you speak of from that era, and I still think every single character is absolutely terrible in design. One character is a trashcan. A freaking trashcan. Lol.
I commented when you first put gameplay of this on your channel that this game would be DOA…and here we are
you should play dustborn, the devs have tds just like you so you might like it lol
it does effect it cause no one asking for it
Holy crap I can't wait for Blame! Manga review. It's one of my favourite mangas of all time. I've read it 3 times and still can't why you re-read it again!
Glad to see somebody in here recognizes it!
we absolutely need to talk about concord. concord is the best fps I have played in years. it plays like quake arena and not like ow at all. gameplay is KING right? the maps are fantastic and a ton of fun to master and all characters has a number of movements nuances about every single one of them; this is an action character arena shooter, that's to say nothing about the best shooting haptic feed i've ever felt in a shooter, the game i DIAMOND SOLID, from shooting to map design, the 3d sound is masterful, the graphics and fidelity on par with something like God of War, concord is GOTY and I'm not even joking
Imagine being a bigger flop than the Duke Nukem reboot.
It's not a bad lesson or at least "worthy of note" point to acknowledge, though, that if you're an upstart brand especially, you probably can't afford to be woke fresh out of the gates. I mean be real and look around you. There are _legacy_ companies with brand cache and power millions of times greater than your little game studio that are _also_ struggling to embrace this ideology. Look at Disney and their box office sales anytime a movie you know from the trailers is pandering to a minority of people. Look at The Acolyte. Episode 3 into the series and they had to toss out the show because they can't get off the train BEFORE it leaves the station. Driftor's right to point out and it's interesting to think about because this is *also* true for me, that for a lot of people, if you're going to OPEN with the bullshit, it could very well be their first impression of your product.
Cyberpunk was also removed and refunded by the way so it is at least the 2nd time.
Cyberpunk is incomparable to this. Even on launch it was extremely fun to play (on PC), it had a great storyline, beautiful and extremely modern graphics, excellent music and an amazing world design that is almost unrivaled in gaming still to this day.
I know it was buggy, but the game has since been updated in every way. Pretty much, if you weren't trying to play Cyberpunk 2077 on an old PS4, it was never that bad. But now, especially on modern systems, the game is still a marvel and I have yet to see a more visually impressive title to this day.
*Drift0r, what do you think about Dustborn?*
Why's your entire comment highlighted?
It's nothing special
Grift0r: "It wasn't so bad"
Btw there is also the issue with the Playstation account for PC players. Apart from the fact that some don't want to make another account, I also heart that in 120 countries you can't even make/use a PlayStation account for PC, and those are also all potential players missing for that stupid reason. Not that this alone would have saved Concord, but with other issues it adds up. Btw I don't see the 80s to 90s Sci-Fi aesthetics in those mostly ugly characters.
Why did it take that much to make but 0 went to marketing?
it certainly seemed as though the whole game was catered towards the older gen of gamers BUT there arent many older gen gamers around (comparatively). they sucked with marketing and they didnt change much between beta and release BECAUSE they released it so soon afterwards. There are a few things they could have done differently but even still. this game crashed and burned really really fast
They said the game was aimed at the "growing modern audience" u can find the white hating lead designers quotes.
@@DemiSamaKun well then, they just werent really being the smartest lol
@@realpandalol I do suggest looking into the lead designers and devs for ur self. But yea it wasn't just this but it really didn't help their image, not smart to alienate people.
The older gen gamers don't play shitty titles. They have far too little time to waste on something sub-par, as they barely are able to play the really good titles due to time constraints.
@@realpandalol I wish an unreal tournament 99 remaster or remake would come out
I genuinely thought this game would be free for ps plus members on release
Concord may not have been "that bad" but it certainly wasn't "that good" either. A lot of "not bad" games can survive if it has a hook. Rather, this game alienated potential customers straight out the gate with unappealing designs and characters. The gameplay being mediocre did not keep those that DID want to play it hooked.
a game like deceive inc wouldve made it so big if they made it free
Lawbreakers?
See even Angry joe gotten a headsup that amount of people who are interested in games are slowly dropping, why you think he moved towards Movie Review, why you think so many gaming channels either are Niche or moved over to politics or other issue. but millions worldwide, that is true, or else hits like Wu Kong (monkey king) wouldn't sell so well, but they are Asian market.
Which oh boy Activision earned their majority of money with :P Games in Japan with their smaller demography still stays in Japanese Market. it is funny hearing the Western Audience screaming us gamers are important, when you are infact nothing without the World market.
Sony knows what sells just make more of them. So weird.
Concord sucks
Hands down it was marketing. I didn't hear of this until I heard it was being shut down.
I never ended up playing it but I’m surprised as to how fast they took it down…
it was definitely ugly designs and ESG/DEI philosophy to why it died, its not brainrot to bring it up or call it out
even the example of battlestar and things of that nature weren't like this, those stories still had appealing design, any artist can tell u why these characters are lifeless
never confuse calling out agenda pushing in media as some evil thing to do, its not
Black myth wukong is killing it why would anyone buy Concord
if you have to pay for a game that's a TF2/OW/Counterstrike clone, then the game will pretty much be DOA. The only exception to that rule is that if its tied to a major IP that literally everyone and their kid enjoys.
If you have to pay for a game that is a far worse TF2/OW?Counterstrike clone, that is far beyond being DOA. It is DOI. (death on inception)
I didn't hear anything about concord until the beta came out
They made the game with AI and as an experiment, tested if they could still sell it for $40 instead of F2P. It failed so they took it down but will probably return F2P. End of story.
Nobody ever heard of hyperscape and the day before?? 😅😅 yall buggin
money loundering, there is no way no one expected that game to do well lol
If this game had released 5. - 7 years ago, it would've prospered...
No. It would have done maybe a little better, but it would still slowly fade out into obscurity after a few months.
Seriously, what redeeming qualities does this have? The gameplay is okay? Overwatch was out 5-7 years ago and offers almost the exact gamemodes with better graphics, better gameplay and actual cool characters instead of this pulp nonsense they came up with.
nah it would still die, just a soulless agenda game with no appeal
its wild how gachas perfected visual design for profit yet Concord couldn't figure that out in their echo chamber
Call of duty will go the same because fan developers are not making the game’s anymore.all about money that’s always about fun in the moment not long term .we need money now not tomorrow. It’s a shame because the players will dump you
Sony def took a page from MS on the book of fails
I have never heard of this game.
ET is the biggest failure of all time but this one is very bad
My idealized interpretation in terms of a contributing factor to the situation is, given the limitation of releasing the game on PS5 and PC, it would be even more important for it to follow the live-service model with battle passes, premium shop + currencies, the whole shebang. As it was an entirely new IP, maybe it was difficult for many to welcome yet another game wanting to hog our attention. I have not seen a single flesh vessel talk about it, but I think many subconsciously have that thought with modern multiplayer-focused games these days, i.e "how expensive is this game _really_ ?".
And I agree as well, I feel the supposed wokeness (gosh, what an abhorrent word) most certainly wasn't a cause to the game's reception.
There must be so much going on behind the scenes surrounding the game and its developers that what we know probably does not even come close to the full story. Whether we ever really learn about it fully remains to be seen.
Lastly, I find the recurring comments about the developer insulting those on twitter a very fascinating case. This wasn't exactly a lead designer or director of the game, but an animator, and a former one at that. Does their word really hold that much weight in the eyes of the potential players? With that said, didn't a number of developers from the Helldivers team also throw around "skill issue" at their players regarding meta's being patched out of the game?
Ah whatever, none of it matters anymore. Bloody excellent video as always mate! Looking forward to the manga review!
The supposed thing going on behind the scenes for the development of this game was an obvious lack of talent. I have yet to see a title with such a massive budget be so bland and uninteresting. There is no artistry in it, no heart. It is almost like they designed the whole thing with AI.
It’s a shame you defend this it’s very obvious bad just from a glance it’s weird how you’re still interested in this game despite everything it seems you want to avoid negative press. I’m unsubscribing
Your opinions on the wokeness can be fair the game wasn’t made that bad it was a decently made game people didn’t want to pay 40 dollars for a free to play game that’s what it came down too
I disagree with both of you. On one end this game was indeed very bad. At best it was bland and uninteresing and came out 10 years too late, at worst it was a very poorly designed piece of garbage with an overused and outdated political agenda that put some more oil on the fire of it's faillure. There are no redeeming qualities to this game.
That said, I also disagree that unsubscribing from a channel that offers mostly honest content and a great talking head that narrates well is just a little sad. I'm not convinced Driftor is remotely interested in 'trying to avoid negative press' in this situation. He is actually taking a lot of unneccessary flak for sticking up for this bad game.
And if it is his honest opinion, which I believe it is, that is perfectly fine with me, we don't have to agree on everything. I actually prefer my channels to offer different insights, or at least make me think for myself. You unsub from a channel because you think the content is bad and you no longer want to be updated or participating with it, not because you disagree over one stupid game that isn't worth anymore of our time.
@@pinobluevogel6458 good take respectable I’m not as harsh on the game but I see your points for sure
Wow I started reading Blame! adding it to my rotation four months ago. It’s like reading an action movie. It’s great!
Yeah woke doesn’t affect a game unless it’s front page not hiding it.
Valorant, LOL, Overwatch all have some sort of LGBTQ in their roster of characters. But still very popular games. Because all the woke stuff they add for points is subtle and irrelevant.
The main difference is that all those games feature characters that look cool. Their art style is good, sometimes even impressive. I'm not a huge fan of focusing massively on the LGBTQ side of things, but if done correctly, you could create a really diverse set of characters that are all worth playing.
I think I'm more understating what you posted than offering something new, but I felt the quality of the art and sense of style and flashyness is a major difference between Concord and those titles mentioned. In my opinion a popular character always fits somewhere in these 4 catagories, or a combination of them:
1. The male powerfantasy. These are the muscular types with big swords or guns, or in fantasy the big burly orcs or minotaurs, or bulky combat robots in science fiction
2. The female powerfantasy. These are the stylized, beautiful women. Often themed as a warrior-woman, but they can be from any type, as long as they are pleasing or cute to look at.
3. The cute/furry style fantasy. These are your cute little cats, your pookie bears, fluffy fantasy creatures or baby dragons.
4. The odd-balls / humor fantasy. These are your unique, but still well designed characters, offering something unique and/or something funny. Good examples are Fiddlesticks or Amumu from LoL.
Despite some of these tropes being present in Concord, they are not designed well. I haven't played League of legends or Overwatch in ages, but I still think most of the characters on their roster look interesting and cool. I would 'want' to play with them. Most people take ages designing a character in an MMORPG for good reason.
Asinine take
overwatch pushed it after it came out with bad retcons and use them to hide their abuse allegations
Valorant wouldn't even know from a glance
yeah there's no subtlety and as a result is preachy and condescending to the audience
And now people are just trying to buy and sell the game on ebay 😂
Not many games like gears of war or space marine 2. Do a review on space marine 2 PvP. I can’t find games. Maybe it’s just me
Bro I follow FPS gaming. I never heard of concord until the flops video lmao
People have a negative opinion of "woke design" regardless of "demagog" videos. I rarely watch anyone like that, and I find the DEI/equity folks incredibly offputting and disgusting.
I'll definitely keep an eye out for the review
Apex legends is still number one shooter. Their ALGS finals had 500,000 viewers a few days ago and it’s 5 years old?
it wasn't even a bad game TBH I got to play it and I actually enjoyed it
11:00 baldurs gate 3, starfield (sold 13 million units) etc are all huge successes despite being woke lol. The truth is, the 40 dollan price tag killed it.
Never heard of it.
This is literally the first time I've ever heard of this game.
Welcome to the most positive, honest review that I've seen so far. Just about 99% of the videos is extremely critical of the title, or downright mocking it for being such a joke. And I tend to side with the 99% on this, not with Driftor.
I disagree with some of your analysis but im dropping a like because I still always appreciate your perspective
