It's the very same discourse going on with the big movie and TV series industries. Some bullshit being produced, critics give appallingly high ratings for it, audience sees through the bullshit, and the creators blame the audience for not liking their vision.
Every game that isn’t an original IP in a genre is chasing a trend, some of the best games come from following a blueprint aka a trend. Concord is something gamers have been asking for a live service game that doesn’t fucked them. But all of a sudden we care about 40 dollars price point.
@@kevinconley7429if we rewind the clock, games were $20 when minimum wage has been the same. Games used to have SP, MP, map editors and bot battles. Now you're going to pay $40 for just one mode, to compete with free games who also have it. It's not as simple as you are making it out to be. If they are charging $40 and competing with a free game, then you'd at least expect more content, or something, than the free game. Like at least R6 has terrorist hunt. The older games had splitscreen co-op, so are arguably more bang for the buck. So the trend is a decline in content. Games used to have content that players could use to make their own content. The idea of Halo 3's forge was not new, it's just that the way the UI was implemented was pretty cutting edge. And it's no wonder Halo 3 took the world by storm. If we compare Halo 3 to Concord, that's $20 more dollars, but maybe 100 times the content. So if you lived through that, how can Concord be exciting at all?
@@kevinconley7429 The point is it's worse than other games in the same genre that may be free or cheaper, or if more expensive actually have communities...not 73 people or whatever the steam charts said.
@@DaOverman00 if you played the game and came away from it that is a completely bad game to play then I’m got nothing to say to you. My point is the people who have played it stayed it was a good/fun game but complain about the price point or that the genre is over saturated. In a free to play game every new character come with a price tag of as with valorant and apex legends which will run you 10 bucks per character so if you want or like more than four your pretty much the equivalent of the forty dollars of concord. That’s my main point people complaining about the price of something just today I’m just going buy a game in which buy the characters you like will but you over 40. Overwatch 2 is the only other game where the characters are free and that only after season 10.
@kevinconley7429 hey, if you want to pay $40 for something no one else wants, that's on you. We already have overwatch 2. It sucks. Why would we want... another overwatch 2?
The main discourse amongst gamers for games can be boiled down to this: Company: “my game isn’t for you, don’t play it.” Me: “ok cool, I won’t” Company: “this is an outrage.” Also… Company: “be sincere and give us actual criticism and feedback” Me: “your mechanics are clunky, the engine is buggy, and the characters just aren’t that compelling” Company: “Bigot”
In fact in your second example, you don't, give feedback. Like "characters aren't completing" ok but that's an opinion and that's your opinion Not an argument. But I get it, the industries of video games are like any other industry she has to make her sell, and if they don't get their sell, they gonna be upset, but on people who litteraly keep this thing alive.
@@horrablecorps5947 you didn’t read it right. The word you used was “completing” means to bring something to a point where nothing can be done to make it better or to complete test with time left over .

@@horrablecorps5947all you can do is argue for your opinion and your opinion holds more merit depending on how many people agree with it and how good your argument is. What are you on about? 😂

Like I'm not English (obviously)so i sure don't explain this the right way
And here is a simpler explanation: The characters are all unappealing. I'm not even talking exclusively about sex appeal, I'm saying that not a single character has ANY sort of appeal. Concord doesn't have a cool character, it doesn't have a badass character, it doesn't have a sexy character, it doesn't have a cute character, it doesn't have a chilling character, none of the characters have ANY charisma.
Nah he just proved their point. This was an independent studio at first that formed to make this. Sony nor any other big corporation made them do it and the game is actually really fun. Again, if it isn’t for you then just move on and play something else. That simple.
Not buying a product is not harassment. The current leadership of the gaming industry disagree. They think that they own OUR money regardless of the slop that they produce.
My problem with the "Isn't for them" statement is that it implies that your product has a specific target audience, not everyone. Meaning the headcount would be smaller. You can't get mad at anyone outside your target audience when you player number is low.
God forbid anyone has standards for their video games....but you are correct everyone is tired of the hero shooter as it's been the meta along with extraction shooters. Gee it's like when every company puts out the same thing that unique thing becomes basic
Yeah, seeing the trailer I thought "oh this looks like a guardians of the galaxy type story game" and then the trailer continued and I thought "oh heeeeell no". This game is gonna crash and burn, the studio will be closed and another great opportunity to make a great game will be wasted.
@@shrtrnd6706 Fr I think a borderlands style game for this would have been really cool. It fits the hero looter shooter thing that everyone is liking right and the cast of characters seem funny even though they’re a guardians of the galaxy rip.
Tbh, you nailed it on the head. Personally, if the game was free to play I would've given it a shot or at least wouldn't have had such a harsh view. But nothing I've seen nor heard from this game is worth 40$
See, I'd much rather pay for a complete game, I assume Free To Play games are really going to go after my wallet. Overwatch was a much better value for 60 dollars than OW2 is for free.
"I thought it looked fun" Ok, are you actually playing it? And if you are, there's clearly not enough people who think like you considering the money and time Concord used.
"I thought it looked fun" directly translates to "I'm not actually going to play it" (My source is me saying a year ago "Wow Suika Game looks fun" and never playing it)
not even, modern audience doesn't exist. It's proven at almost every turn that the main demographic of gamers hasn't changed since arcade times and they simply don't like that fact.
Concord doesn’t look bad, it looks quite polished, pretty and well designed, but the problem is that it doesn’t look unique in any way, it looks a lot like so many other games in the same genre that have tried to copy the success of games like Overwartch and Fortnite, they didn’t show anything that would make it stand out from any other game in it’s genre, in fact it just blends in which is a death sentence for a LSG, doesn’t help is not free either
I mean there’s a lot of games that are inspired by other games or something but this game isnt bad so far and having a blast with it unlike cod or other big games from big ass devs who doesn’t give a shit about their fan base
Corporate analytics guys, all of those games you mentioned are following the same corporate analytics. Soulless products meant to squeeze money out of people.
I was just thinking that myself. Concord was not for ANYONE. Like they struggled in open beta to get players (When the game is free) so how can anyone expect on release for people to be jumping over eachother to spend $40 on a worse overwatch clone?
I get tired of low standard, casual fans that suck up any piece of garbage that comes out. Edit: Casual maybe wasn't the right word. I meant more about people who blindly defend games like this saying "it's not even out yet", when consumers can see the writing on the wall and know it's just gonna be more corporate, micro transaction filled garbage instead of a quality product consumers actually enjoy.
I mean..... That's what casual means. Not everyone want a dark souls or csgo or rainbow six seige. Some just wanna kick back and relax. It's that simple mate🤷
@@Ajay-kz9ns i think they meant casual as the level of attachment to videogames. Like with any art, you can consume it casually (like watching what new movies come out just to watch some movie) or… idk, not casually, whatever is the opposite of casual (look for value, analyze, see and appreciate or depreciate the impact etc). So when you’re fine with slop as a casual consumer… like it’s not morally wrong I don’t think so, but it does feel annoying to more invested gamers bc you directly support the industry getting worse just because you don’t fully appreciate what a game can be. And I know that sounds really snobbish, but it is a feeling founded in something that kinda sorta true. I personally don’t really put an emphasis on this particular aspect, I think we still have plenty of great games (so much that I already don’t think I can play all the games I want throughout my entire life), but I can see where the idea is coming from.
@@FigsOfFury tbh guys like you only have opinions of what you see youtubers saying. Amazing you can know so much about a game nobody apparently played? Not saying its good but certainly a disproportionate level of hate spear headed by influencers
These new hero shooters (concord, frag punk and I think there was one more that was recently revealed) don’t look promising at all. Like u said it just looks like more of the same. At least a game like overwatch has extremely unique character designs and abilities. These new titles just look bland.
@@tiredman99 i see what u were saying now. kill the justice league is a pve game tho so it’s a little different. Still a good example of live service garbage tho
I think at least part of it is a general frustration with the industry as a whole, compounded by developers and publishers being horribly tone-deaf when interacting with their audience. If Sony hadn't canceled games people were looking forward to in favor of this live service junk, Concord would've been a much quieter failure. If one of the developers hadn't taken to X to call people who didn't like the game "talentless freaks," I think people wouldn't be clowning on it so much. If gaming news had maybe been a bit less horribly biased then this news would have died down already. People derive joy from the failure of people they don't like, and the AAA games industry has one of the most antagonistic relationships with its audience that I've ever seen, perhaps only rivaled by how much hatred Disney and the Star Wars fandom have for each other. When the disdain for their core audience is not only dripping from every aspect of the game design but also outright proven by the words of people responsible for the game, it just fuels the fire of discontent.
Game devs are artists but are treated like slaves to make bland money farms by executives and shareholders. Why would I praise a game I know has no soul and is boring?
Problem is games are being made for 7% of the population and a majority of thise groups don't even like or play games they just like to hear their idealogies regurgitation over and over into echo chambers and the rest of us are tired of hearing it when it has nothing to do with us.
"I get tired of the internet erupting whenever a game isn't for them." Then I ask, genuinely, who is this game for? It's not for the Hero PVP crowd because they have Overwatch and Valorent, it's not for the casual crowd due to the above games and Team Fortress 2, it's not for the twitch gameplay PVP crowd because it's too slow, it's not for the slow PVP crowd because they have rainbow 6, and the game is too open. "It's for the 'modern audience'!" The issue is that "modern audience", has never shown up, KTJL was purpose built from the ground up for the "Modern audience" and nobody came, Saints Row reboot was built from the ground up for the "modern audience" and it went away within a week, and dismantled Volition within a year, "Skull and Bones" was made for a "modern audience" and we all know what happened to that game. So genuinely, I ask, who was Concord made for? Because it's not doing anything new or unique, and all the target audiences have other games that they don't have to pay $70(now $40) to play, and that is shown by the closed and open Beta numbers, with the highest player count being in the mid 2,000s down to 300, while Overwatch maintains a player count of 70k daily.
People don't want a hero pvp shooter that's why lol gamers can be bad but I hate this like shifting the blame to "oh it's just haters" so we ignore the real complaints, it's not that it's not fun it's that we have Overwatch and Val and siege 6 and CSGO and COD and they are shoving stuff down our throats gamers literally are saying we don't want
CSGO and CoD aren't hero shooters, but otherwise I completely agree. Every gamer that loves Concord's type of games is already invested in R6S, Overwatch, Valorant, or Destiny; It would be really hard for Concord to pull those players from the games they are heavily invested in.
how are they shoving it down ur throat? ignore the fucking game, i wouldn’t have even heard of this game or tried it out if it wasnt for the people making a big deal out of it. you’re playing right into corporate hands when you complain about a game thats not even that bad but supposedly “supports” everything wrong with the gaming industry. not saying you cant criticize it, YOU SHOULD. But telling people not to play it and using it as this weird scapegoat for how you think game dev might go but you dont really cuz you, or Luke, dont have any idea what goes in game development or marketing meetings to decide what gets funded or not. basically stop getting on this moral high grounds about video games and just talk equally about good and bad games. branch out and stop playing just fps games, there are so many games out there its not definitely not being shoved down ur throat
@@TheOnceandFutureJake You ever think that the internet erupting probably means that a majority of people, or at least a sizable, paying, vocal minority dislike the product placed before them? But yeah, let's revisit this once a year has passed, and see if it fails.

Man if he's tired of gamers being mad games aren't good anymore just imagine how gamers feel. All we want are good games and all we keep getting is devs making games only the devs want.
I genuinely would not be able to tell this game apart from any other of the team hero shooters. Yeah they might be polished but it’s just a lazy and derivative game design we have seen a thousand times by now. A huge reason people didn’t like battlefield 2042 is because they tried the same operator BS that the new cods do. It’s lazy at best, incompetence at worst.
Funny how folks like Luke just bend over backwards to avoid acknowledging the elephant in the room regarding content designed for a "modern audience." It's the very reason the characters were designed the way they are.
It also represents PlayStation’s direction into live service slop that the vast majority of PS fans have not wanted from them (MP games like SOCOM or Twisted Metal, even Factions, sure, but not just service games for the sake of $$). Sony has IP that works for MP games but instead they released this and canceled more promising things that could’ve maybe worked if not being made as milk machines. As well as showing the trend of art design that is made to appeal to nobody. 🤷♂️
"The game isn't for them!" Then who is it for?! The 5 people who like this bull crap?!😡 They will not be able to make much money with games like this!😡
I just want a good game, no pay to win, no politics, no disrespect. If it doesn’t check those boxes, my wallet stays closed. Prices have gone up but not wages. $100 is too much to put up with anything less. If I wanted to be preached at, I’d go to church.
I hate to be seen as "Defending" Concord, but I have to contest the idea that the game was trying to "Milk its playerbase for everything they have" - the game had a classic $40 cost up-front, and that was it AFAIK. That's not the "Meta" of the industry at all, and so if we're talking about "Industry meta" I think Concord failed because it DIDN'T follow the F2P meta more than anything. ...Of course the real answer is that, combined with a lot of "The game doesn't look fun and the designs are ugly", but talking strictly about the meta, Concord actually subverted it by avoiding the F2P tropes that most people complain about to this day.
Because corporations try to leverage hostile forced positivity to turn other gamers against me, purely as a narcissistic ideological, and cynical marketing ploy, and then get angry that hostility turns out to make the surrounding discourse... hostile.
Well no, the Concord devs weren't "capable" devs. In fact they were so uncapable they had to outsource the game's development in order to get something resembling a video game. 400 million $
Yeah but heres the thing. They love trying to force us to like things and if we dont we get called every ist and phobe there is to make it sound like thats why dont like it. I want to like games. Games have been a hobby of mine since back in the days playing NES with my pops. There is a reason indie games are killing it now and its because its not full of corporate check points they needed to hit, its made with passion and care instead of just making money and making share holders happy.
Gamers have spoken. WE DECIDE WHAT GOES! Look at wukong sales then look at this shite, NOW tell me what works and makes the money? Go make the games we want
There's a TON of games that's not for me, RTS's and Fighting games are ones that I'm not interested, same as this, the main contention is that it's uncreative and derivate of what people get inundated with the Marvel aesthetic. I'm really starting to get pissed off with these lazy deflection of "Oh, critics are just X".
This is an excellent explanation of why games like Concord are getting so much hate. It reminds me of circa 2010, when the intense hate for Nickelback erupted among music fans. That group is honestly just a run-of-the-mill mediocre rock band, but certain people regard them as a warcrime against sound, because bands like them saturated the market for awhile.
TF2 came out in 2007, 17 years ago. All classes wear the same color, yet the classes are more unique than this 2024 "AAA" game, that took 8 years and 180 million.
There is one thing that sucks about gaming is that many companies go in one direction trying to chase "the next big thing" that some other company has created the trend for. Now we have a bunch of extraction shooters planned, combined with previous trends of unique heroes.
I see you left out the most damning complaints. The tone, art style, destiny mechanics, the cringe writing, pronouns for characters. A game made for a non-existent modern audience.
Character having pronouns is not really indicative of a bad game. That's indicative of partisan sensibilities being offended. It's fundmentally a silly complaint. If the game is bad, that's not gonna be the reason for it
@@chrishaven1489the pronoun thing was foisted by LGBT activists, and most game executives were made to play along with it because people were saying not having pronouns in their bio is a sign of not being an ally of the community. You are either extremely naive or extremely deceitful.
@@chrishaven1489if it's not a problem then It wouldn't make so controversy. You need to understand this: You don't have the authority to put a metric or a bar that the people have To agree. It's not our duty to care, and not your job To do It. That's the society job, and YOU decided if It convince you or not.
@@Chris-we7hh What cope? Pronouns aren't the problem. You know they're not the problem, because if you took out the pronouns, the game would still suck. If the game still sucks with or without a certain element, then the element's not the problem.
The character designs & voices are the most egregious thing about the game for me, for a hero shooter it’s a bad day at the office when I dislike every single character
"I thought it looked fun" is not an excuse to hate people who complain about a game that is giving nothing, and a basic copy of other games. People have G O T to get over themselves and the shite they like
From what I've seen and especially if you take 15 seconds to look around in the comments section of this video, it's definitely the other way around, people are flaming this guy saying he enjoyed the game and no one forced you guys to like it I'm pretty neutral about the game cuz it didn't look like anything unique but wasn't bad as well if it was free to play
@@muhammadghazy8that's the thing. He didn't enjoy it. He never touched it. He just mentioned how it looked to him from a distance. He's defending it based on appearance and assumptions. A window shop. It's just an empty argument.
This is a very fair and accurate summation of the feedback given for this game. It’s the objective truth as to why people reacted the way they did, trolls excluded of course.
Yeaaaaah....its not the live service that killed Concord. It's the fact that it was made for a Very Niche community. A community that can't handle even the simplest criticism without labeling you as a "phobe" this, bigot that. These people need to keep their agendas to themselves or continue making money-pit games. If they want to keep making their massive foopa characters, by all means, do you. But they can't complain when it doesn't take. Js.
I'm so glad to see people waking up and tearing down the "it wasn't made for you/it's not even out yet" argument. Instead of blaming us, they should blame themselves for not supporting the game when it needed them.
You can evaluate things like art and pricing of a thing even if that thing is not for you. On the other hand, I do admit that people all too easily create a cycle of hype or negativity on the internet.
"Internet erupting whenever a game isn't for them" looks like it wasn't for the majority of gamers. Which is why it lasted 14 days, consumers speak with their wallet and if you aren't making a game that the majority of the gamers wanna play. Than that game will crash and burn, but this same person would blame those the game wasn't made for. For not playing it...
Once games started being made as an investment is when gaming truly started to die. It’s not about making things for fun anymore with new interesting whacky ideas. It’s about chasing a cash cow to please the people who’ve never even touched a controller let alone played a video game.
If they designed games for their customers instead of grinding a certain belief system in their faces, maybe they wouldn't have so much trouble. How about making two versions of the game, one for the "modern audience" and the other for the rest of us. It wouldn't cost double because one would be a derivative of the other and everyone is happy
Everytime I hear "It wasn't made for you" all I hear is "It wasn't made for you, the majority of our customer base", then I just hear money crackling in a fire 🔥
Honest question: do we prefer free to play or paying for a game once and getting content for free? Because I was certain folks hated the free to play model and battlepasses. Or should we just get games for free?
It’s hysterical that the act of not buying or even playing a game is now somehow offensive to these companies and journalists.

In a free to play game every new character come with a price tag of as with valorant and apex legends which will run you 10 bucks per character so if you want or like more than four your pretty much the equivalent of the forty dollars of concord. That’s my main point people complaining about the price of something just today I’m just going buy a game in which buy the characters you like will but you over 40. Overwatch 2 is the only other game where the characters are free and that only after season 10.
@kevinconley7429 hey, if you want to pay $40 for something no one else wants, that's on you.
We already have overwatch 2. It sucks. Why would we want... another overwatch 2?
The main discourse amongst gamers for games can be boiled down to this:
Company: “my game isn’t for you, don’t play it.”
Me: “ok cool, I won’t”
Company: “this is an outrage.”
Also…
Company: “be sincere and give us actual criticism and feedback”
Me: “your mechanics are clunky, the engine is buggy, and the characters just aren’t that compelling”
Company: “Bigot”
In fact in your second example, you don't, give feedback. Like "characters aren't completing" ok but that's an opinion and that's your opinion
Not an argument. But I get it, the industries of video games are like any other industry she has to make her sell, and if they don't get their sell, they gonna be upset, but on people who litteraly keep this thing alive.
@@horrablecorps5947 you didn’t read it right.

Like I'm not English (obviously)so i sure don't explain this the right way
And here is a simpler explanation: The characters are all unappealing. I'm not even talking exclusively about sex appeal, I'm saying that not a single character has ANY sort of appeal. Concord doesn't have a cool character, it doesn't have a badass character, it doesn't have a sexy character, it doesn't have a cute character, it doesn't have a chilling character, none of the characters have ANY charisma.

Not buying a product is not harassment. The current leadership of the gaming industry disagree. They think that they own OUR money regardless of the slop that they produce.
My problem with the "Isn't for them" statement is that it implies that your product has a specific target audience, not everyone. Meaning the headcount would be smaller. You can't get mad at anyone outside your target audience when you player number is low.
Well, I'm going to assume Jake isn't one of the devs.
God forbid anyone has standards for their video games....but you are correct everyone is tired of the hero shooter as it's been the meta along with extraction shooters. Gee it's like when every company puts out the same thing that unique thing becomes basic
Yeah, seeing the trailer I thought "oh this looks like a guardians of the galaxy type story game" and then the trailer continued and I thought "oh heeeeell no".

Ok, are you actually playing it? And if you are, there's clearly not enough people who think like you considering the money and time Concord used.
"I thought it looked fun" directly translates to "I'm not actually going to play it" (My source is me saying a year ago "Wow Suika Game looks fun" and never playing it)
They make the game for themselves, modern audience. Unfortunately, modern audience gamers are only small number

Simple as
Is overwatch but worse and costs $40, not free. 😂
"If you don't like it, don't buy it."
Not buying it is now a h8 crime.
Concord doesn’t look bad, it looks quite polished, pretty and well designed, but the problem is that it doesn’t look unique in any way, it looks a lot like so many other games in the same genre that have tried to copy the success of games like Overwartch and Fortnite, they didn’t show anything that would make it stand out from any other game in it’s genre, in fact it just blends in which is a death sentence for a LSG, doesn’t help is not free either
I mean there’s a lot of games that are inspired by other games or something but this game isnt bad so far and having a blast with it unlike cod or other big games from big ass devs who doesn’t give a shit about their fan base
Exactly! It’s not bad per say, it’s just generic and thus unworthy of a $40 price tag
well designed? lol
Don't lie bro it's bad

End of “Concord” game from 6th September 2024
Fastest shutdown
if it's not for people...then who is it for, the 60 people playing could not make up for the 200 million cost lmfao they are delusional
I was just thinking that myself. Concord was not for ANYONE. Like they struggled in open beta to get players (When the game is free) so how can anyone expect on release for people to be jumping over eachother to spend $40 on a worse overwatch clone?
I'll add to this month old comment to say that it recently came out that it was actually $400 million
I get tired of low standard, casual fans that suck up any piece of garbage that comes out.
Edit: Casual maybe wasn't the right word. I meant more about people who blindly defend games like this saying "it's not even out yet", when consumers can see the writing on the wall and know it's just gonna be more corporate, micro transaction filled garbage instead of a quality product consumers actually enjoy.
I mean..... That's what casual means. Not everyone want a dark souls or csgo or rainbow six seige. Some just wanna kick back and relax. It's that simple mate🤷
@@Ajay-kz9nsi get what you are trying to say but you can play any game casually, hell some people take ranked modes casually
@@Ajay-kz9ns Lol that's not this game though 😂
@@Ajay-kz9ns i think they meant casual as the level of attachment to videogames. Like with any art, you can consume it casually (like watching what new movies come out just to watch some movie) or… idk, not casually, whatever is the opposite of casual (look for value, analyze, see and appreciate or depreciate the impact etc).
So when you’re fine with slop as a casual consumer… like it’s not morally wrong I don’t think so, but it does feel annoying to more invested gamers bc you directly support the industry getting worse just because you don’t fully appreciate what a game can be. And I know that sounds really snobbish, but it is a feeling founded in something that kinda sorta true.
I personally don’t really put an emphasis on this particular aspect, I think we still have plenty of great games (so much that I already don’t think I can play all the games I want throughout my entire life), but I can see where the idea is coming from.

Simple "Hey, we don't like the game it needs fixing" them. "Shut up, your racist!"... why are so many people mad at our game?
I mean, I get tired of seeing these suits whip the backs of devs to make another uninspired "product". Also, "looked" fun implies it wasn't played...
I think at least part of it is a general frustration with the industry as a whole, compounded by developers and publishers being horribly tone-deaf when interacting with their audience. If Sony hadn't canceled games people were looking forward to in favor of this live service junk, Concord would've been a much quieter failure. If one of the developers hadn't taken to X to call people who didn't like the game "talentless freaks," I think people wouldn't be clowning on it so much. If gaming news had maybe been a bit less horribly biased then this news would have died down already. People derive joy from the failure of people they don't like, and the AAA games industry has one of the most antagonistic relationships with its audience that I've ever seen, perhaps only rivaled by how much hatred Disney and the Star Wars fandom have for each other.
When the disdain for their core audience is not only dripping from every aspect of the game design but also outright proven by the words of people responsible for the game, it just fuels the fire of discontent.
Game devs are artists but are treated like slaves to make bland money farms by executives and shareholders. Why would I praise a game I know has no soul and is boring?
Problem is games are being made for 7% of the population and a majority of thise groups don't even like or play games they just like to hear their idealogies regurgitation over and over into echo chambers and the rest of us are tired of hearing it when it has nothing to do with us.
Thank you. Someone with a level head 😂
"I get tired of the internet erupting whenever a game isn't for them." Then I ask, genuinely, who is this game for? It's not for the Hero PVP crowd because they have Overwatch and Valorent, it's not for the casual crowd due to the above games and Team Fortress 2, it's not for the twitch gameplay PVP crowd because it's too slow, it's not for the slow PVP crowd because they have rainbow 6, and the game is too open.
"It's for the 'modern audience'!" The issue is that "modern audience", has never shown up, KTJL was purpose built from the ground up for the "Modern audience" and nobody came, Saints Row reboot was built from the ground up for the "modern audience" and it went away within a week, and dismantled Volition within a year, "Skull and Bones" was made for a "modern audience" and we all know what happened to that game.
So genuinely, I ask, who was Concord made for? Because it's not doing anything new or unique, and all the target audiences have other games that they don't have to pay $70(now $40) to play, and that is shown by the closed and open Beta numbers, with the highest player count being in the mid 2,000s down to 300, while Overwatch maintains a player count of 70k daily.
Modern Audience but it doesn't exist 😂
People don't want a hero pvp shooter that's why lol gamers can be bad but I hate this like shifting the blame to "oh it's just haters" so we ignore the real complaints, it's not that it's not fun it's that we have Overwatch and Val and siege 6 and CSGO and COD and they are shoving stuff down our throats gamers literally are saying we don't want
CSGO and CoD aren't hero shooters, but otherwise I completely agree. Every gamer that loves Concord's type of games is already invested in R6S, Overwatch, Valorant, or Destiny; It would be really hard for Concord to pull those players from the games they are heavily invested in.

Man if he's tired of gamers being mad games aren't good anymore just imagine how gamers feel. All we want are good games and all we keep getting is devs making games only the devs want.
I genuinely would not be able to tell this game apart from any other of the team hero shooters. Yeah they might be polished but it’s just a lazy and derivative game design we have seen a thousand times by now. A huge reason people didn’t like battlefield 2042 is because they tried the same operator BS that the new cods do. It’s lazy at best, incompetence at worst.
It is the generic ripoff version of other more popular games with the added distinction of asking for $40 up feont
Funny how folks like Luke just bend over backwards to avoid acknowledging the elephant in the room regarding content designed for a "modern audience." It's the very reason the characters were designed the way they are.
It wasn't made for anyone, that's the problem.
The internet didn't erupt it sat bac and watched concord self destruct
It also represents PlayStation’s direction into live service slop that the vast majority of PS fans have not wanted from them (MP games like SOCOM or Twisted Metal, even Factions, sure, but not just service games for the sake of $$).
Sony has IP that works for MP games but instead they released this and canceled more promising things that could’ve maybe worked if not being made as milk machines.
As well as showing the trend of art design that is made to appeal to nobody. 🤷♂️
When you make a public product, you get open for criticisms and praise alike. Thats all part of the deal.
Exactly this.
“Never seen a plus sized robot”😂😂- not my words
Have you heard of the ESG score? Well Sony has to abide by it if it ever needs funding. This game was literally created to raise their ESG score
"The game isn't for them!"
Then who is it for?!

They will not be able to make much money with games like this!😡
I just want a good game, no pay to win, no politics, no disrespect. If it doesn’t check those boxes, my wallet stays closed. Prices have gone up but not wages. $100 is too much to put up with anything less. If I wanted to be preached at, I’d go to church.
So who was this game made for then. The 600 people who played it? They made a 400 million dollar game for 600 people lmao.
I hate to be seen as "Defending" Concord, but I have to contest the idea that the game was trying to "Milk its playerbase for everything they have" - the game had a classic $40 cost up-front, and that was it AFAIK. That's not the "Meta" of the industry at all, and so if we're talking about "Industry meta" I think Concord failed because it DIDN'T follow the F2P meta more than anything.
...Of course the real answer is that, combined with a lot of "The game doesn't look fun and the designs are ugly", but talking strictly about the meta, Concord actually subverted it by avoiding the F2P tropes that most people complain about to this day.
Because corporations try to leverage hostile forced positivity to turn other gamers against me, purely as a narcissistic ideological, and cynical marketing ploy, and then get angry that hostility turns out to make the surrounding discourse... hostile.
Well no, the Concord devs weren't "capable" devs. In fact they were so uncapable they had to outsource the game's development in order to get something resembling a video game.
400 million $
Turns out the game isn't for anybody since its shutting down after only 2 weeks. Man said it looked fun but guess he didn't play it either.
Yeah but heres the thing. They love trying to force us to like things and if we dont we get called every ist and phobe there is to make it sound like thats why dont like it. I want to like games. Games have been a hobby of mine since back in the days playing NES with my pops. There is a reason indie games are killing it now and its because its not full of corporate check points they needed to hit, its made with passion and care instead of just making money and making share holders happy.
I mean the game looks like generic trash and the characters all look like they were built in a factory building off of check boxes.

There's a TON of games that's not for me, RTS's and Fighting games are ones that I'm not interested, same as this, the main contention is that it's uncreative and derivate of what people get inundated with the Marvel aesthetic.
I'm really starting to get pissed off with these lazy deflection of "Oh, critics are just X".
This is an excellent explanation of why games like Concord are getting so much hate. It reminds me of circa 2010, when the intense hate for Nickelback erupted among music fans. That group is honestly just a run-of-the-mill mediocre rock band, but certain people regard them as a warcrime against sound, because bands like them saturated the market for awhile.
TF2 came out in 2007, 17 years ago. All classes wear the same color, yet the classes are more unique than this 2024 "AAA" game, that took 8 years and 180 million.
There is one thing that sucks about gaming is that many companies go in one direction trying to chase "the next big thing" that some other company has created the trend for.
Now we have a bunch of extraction shooters planned, combined with previous trends of unique heroes.
You also forgot to mention the identity politics that have no place in video games.
from the trailer I thought the game is a co-op pve campaign game, hearing that it's another hero shooter really makes me sad.
And now September 3rd 2024, all said here became prophesy for what would come: epic fail and complete shutdown.
I see you left out the most damning complaints. The tone, art style, destiny mechanics, the cringe writing, pronouns for characters. A game made for a non-existent modern audience.
Character having pronouns is not really indicative of a bad game. That's indicative of partisan sensibilities being offended. It's fundmentally a silly complaint. If the game is bad, that's not gonna be the reason for it

Yeaaaaah....its not the live service that killed Concord. It's the fact that it was made for a Very Niche community. A community that can't handle even the simplest criticism without labeling you as a "phobe" this, bigot that. These people need to keep their agendas to themselves or continue making money-pit games.

Lol that man lives in ignorance theres a lot more to the story than the game being "not for them"
I'm so glad to see people waking up and tearing down the "it wasn't made for you/it's not even out yet" argument. Instead of blaming us, they should blame themselves for not supporting the game when it needed them.
You can evaluate things like art and pricing of a thing even if that thing is not for you. On the other hand, I do admit that people all too easily create a cycle of hype or negativity on the internet.
"It's not for you!" Okay then, just lose 800 million dollars making a game not for me.
These companies are making "Corporate Games " not triple AAA games. Their sole objective is to make money, not games, which sucks for us
"Internet erupting whenever a game isn't for them" looks like it wasn't for the majority of gamers. Which is why it lasted 14 days, consumers speak with their wallet and if you aren't making a game that the majority of the gamers wanna play. Than that game will crash and burn, but this same person would blame those the game wasn't made for. For not playing it...

Once games started being made as an investment is when gaming truly started to die. It’s not about making things for fun anymore with new interesting whacky ideas. It’s about chasing a cash cow to please the people who’ve never even touched a controller let alone played a video game.
If they designed games for their customers instead of grinding a certain belief system in their faces, maybe they wouldn't have so much trouble. How about making two versions of the game, one for the "modern audience" and the other for the rest of us. It wouldn't cost double because one would be a derivative of the other and everyone is happy
Game has more pronouns than players

Let me tell you something pal! I like the way you talk & you just got a sub👍🏾
Honest question: do we prefer free to play or paying for a game once and getting content for free? Because I was certain folks hated the free to play model and battlepasses. Or should we just get games for free?
"If it's not for you, don't play it" sounds like the Concord devs fail marketing courses.
All of the characters look like the blue people from Guardians of the Galaxy
I think one of the gameplay videos described the designs as "discount Guardians of the Galaxy," and it described exactly what I thought.
