Modern devs LOVE UI clutter. I don't know how or why they develop HUDs that take up so much screen real estate, but they really want you to see the portrait of every player and giant health bars. TF2's default HUD does it way better.
I think it's also because they assume every single one of us has a 4KHDR TV or monitor, so they feel they can absolutely cram the screen with this clutter and tiny text in ways they couldn't do in the pre-HDTV days. Then it ironically results in someone like me, who does have access to a massive 4KHDR TV, struggling to read the tiny text because it turns out it's too tiny to even be comfortably readable on a wall-sized home theater system.

@MamaSymphonia at some point someone was like "this is a good idea". Whatever decent Into this result must have been a long, painful process. I'm not saying they don't deserve it; who knows where the blame falls on this project but the devs that spent nearly a decade working on this probably knowing how bad it was going to be but had to keep going anyway have my sympathy
@@TheDeadAndTheUndead This is the most homogenized, focus-grouped, vanilla game I've seen in a long time. It practically feels like an AI came up with the idea and designed the "characters." I would be surprised if anyone with any real passion for designing games ever had single hand in this drek.
@@MamaSymphonia Thats the result we ended up with, but who is to say thats what the aim was from the beginning. looking online, I can't find a lot online about firewalk studios, but with this release being its first and only game theres a good chance they get shut down because of this. so even if their goal was to create something generic, maybe it was to fund a bigger project or just get their foot in the door in the industry. I'm not defending this game, its design seems generic and its characters are abysmal (and im not going to spend $40 to find out more), I'm just saying that working on anything for 8 YEARS and receiving this much criticism and/or apathy, deserved or not, is sad
This game really shows how important it is to get some really good character designers if youre gonna make a HERO shooter , so you know , people actually care about the "HEROES"
Exactly. A character roster where your choices are 3 old ladies, a walking trash bin, a dude covered in yellow epoxy foam, Fat McLargeHuge, a tumblr branded Na'vi girl with a chest flatter than most children, token black girl boss, a pink crash test dummy, a red faced blue hairless gorilla, a walking headshot target, genderbent Thugnificent going through a midlife crisis, a butch lesbian in bargain bin Doom Guy armor, piss filter Yondu, poor Hispanic kid with an airsoft gun, and whatever stupid look teal coat dude is trying to pull does not exactly garner much positive outlook.
TH-cam really needs to get these comments sorted. If random people with less inside knowledge on the website can make bots, the people with all of the knowledge have to be able to prevent it. No reason why creators should have to ban them all, and viewers report the accounts because it’s just going to temporarily reduce it, not fix it
They won't do anything until someone writes an article about all the CheesePizza the bots spam in the comments and ads start to pull out of the website
@@TotisTurnOfficial You're right, I'm going to stop reporting and just contact advertisers about what is playing on their videos, make youtube care then.
Bot farms generate thousands upon thousands of these bots easily. Moreover they reuse one or (likely) more AI models. Not all bots spam garbage which is easy to ban or has any kind of recognizable "pattern" to it. I'm afraid bots will remain a problem until they somehow become ineffective at gathering money (subscription/pr0n spam) or until we are forced to give up privacy (i.e. ID card / passport) before being able to create new accounts. That said, YT can definitely step up their game and ban at least obvious bot comments more efficiently (e.g. those that post the same message twice in very short interval or many using the same profile picture). Unfortunately for us, the AI-driven future will only bring about more bots...
"It's insane how few people are playing this game after how high the budget and marketing was for it" Marketing? I must just not get ads for new games or something because the first time I ever heard of Concord was people talking about how the game died on release.
Yeah, Literally the *only* things I have seen about this game, whether its advertisement or simply people talking about it, is charlie's videos on it. I didn't even see any banner on steam or anything.
I remember hearing about this game a while ago but I genuinely forgot about this game till the beta. Then I forgot AGAIN until I saw the reviews come out.
🚨 PSA to Penguinz0's audience 🚨Don't reply to whoever troll bots you see. Report them and move on. Also, do not cause any comment wars over trolls as they'll satisfy themselves with your negative reactions.
All well and good to like watching Sony lose money, but you have to feel for the studio, this being their first game. Likely to be shuttered after this with hundreds out a job.
I think that was part of their design philosophy - so that it wouldn't end up like Overwatch where the porn was bigger than the game itself. Great job guys, you succeeded :-/
1:20 well they are putting this game into an Amazon Video series. It's getting an episode based on it alongside some of the most Iconic video games ever. Which is hilarious.
@@zncdoesstuffit literały has, i got into a match in like 5 seconds about 5 Times and it happened this week, a decade after GW1 released, im pretty sure GW1 had less Players for the past 8 years since GW2 released in 2016 than in had today, and i play on PC, these games are apparently more alive on consoles
I talked to a friend of mine about this complete failure of a game and he said that he was very disappointed that Sony canned Naughty Dog's The Last of Us Factions while they marketed and released this heap of shit and I remembered that Naughty Dog had Bungie consulting them about how to make a multiplayer game and Firewalk were ex-Bungie devs. I thought that was fucking hysterical and I laughed my ass off for a solid minute. Fuck this game.
Some of these companies don't understand that longer development time is not synonymous with quality. It also is a risk that your game may not be relevant 8 years from now when you finally release it.
Tbf the game in technical terms do have quality, speaking only about graphics and animations and environments, is just the art style, the narrative and modeling that are ruining the game, and saying "just" is an understatement.
They showed a story in the cinematic trailer, why not just do a singleplayer game based off of that? Live service trash doesn't always need to be prioritized.
I have never seen a single ad for concord so I was shocked to hear this game had marketing, I only know it exists because of Charlie. Also they really named it “concord”
Things I Like About Concord: -The retro sci-fi Star Trek-like UI is kind of neat -Nobody playing so any time you actually get a match you feel like a pro -I like seeing gamers as a whole come together to collectively "meh, no thanks" at something -Charlie's keyboard noises
"Good idea" and "Concord" are two words that shouldn't be in the same sentence Also its a dime in the well for Charlie but -40$ like it must feel cool being one of the less than 1000 or so people who bought this. I think when this game inevitably gets delisted and forgotten by PlayStation I think it'll be fun to have that in your memory.
Having never played the game myself, even its title feels wrong considering that "Concord" means "agreement or harmony between people or groups" and it's a damn FPS.
People are horny AF. Have you noticed that at least half the comments are complaining they can't get a boner to the characters? Everything has to be sexualized or it's "woke". There are a thousand reasons to hate on this game, call it bad, or whatever. But I really don't understand the hate on character design and hotness. If you want to be turned on, just watch pawn or play one of the hentai games out there. There's plenty of free, high quality stuff out there with that expressed purpose.
I know this argument is way overused, especially by not so good people, but the characters genuinely look like they were made as inoffensive as possible. Everything about them, their looks, background, personality, etc, are so wacky, but also bland at the same time like its a paradox.
Charlie is just prolonging the death rattle of this game lol, imagine the hope this will give the dev's when they see a few streams and completely ignore what he and others are actually saying during it.
Something I've always thought didn't add up is despite the immensely low player count, from what I've seen from streamers the queue times for unranked are actually very fast, rarely more than 30 seconds. Overwatch and dead by daylight have no excuse if CONCORD of all games has better queue times than them.

I mean... at some point 8 years ago, they decided to start developing a soulless Overwatch clone. That's on them.
Ehh I feel like it was only in production for like 3 years
@MamaSymphonia at some point someone was like "this is a good idea". Whatever decent Into this result must have been a long, painful process. I'm not saying they don't deserve it; who knows where the blame falls on this project but the devs that spent nearly a decade working on this probably knowing how bad it was going to be but had to keep going anyway have my sympathy
@@TheDeadAndTheUndead This is the most homogenized, focus-grouped, vanilla game I've seen in a long time. It practically feels like an AI came up with the idea and designed the "characters." I would be surprised if anyone with any real passion for designing games ever had single hand in this drek.
@@MamaSymphonia Thats the result we ended up with, but who is to say thats what the aim was from the beginning. looking online, I can't find a lot online about firewalk studios, but with this release being its first and only game theres a good chance they get shut down because of this. so even if their goal was to create something generic, maybe it was to fund a bigger project or just get their foot in the door in the industry. I'm not defending this game, its design seems generic and its characters are abysmal (and im not going to spend $40 to find out more), I'm just saying that working on anything for 8 YEARS and receiving this much criticism and/or apathy, deserved or not, is sad
0:20
*EIGHT?!*
That is 8 years too many.
Man the character design in this game is atrocious
Looks like a low quality UE4 asset rip
It's Overwatch but with no Rule 34 potential, or Guardians of The Galaxy without the coolness.
I wonder if people remember battleborn
Fr it looks like free avatars off of vr chat lol
They only have to look how tf2 create his characters and copy paste it, but no, the same character but with other sample color
This game really shows how important it is to get some really good character designers if youre gonna make a HERO shooter , so you know , people actually care about the "HEROES"
Exactly. A character roster where your choices are 3 old ladies, a walking trash bin, a dude covered in yellow epoxy foam, Fat McLargeHuge, a tumblr branded Na'vi girl with a chest flatter than most children, token black girl boss, a pink crash test dummy, a red faced blue hairless gorilla, a walking headshot target, genderbent Thugnificent going through a midlife crisis, a butch lesbian in bargain bin Doom Guy armor, piss filter Yondu, poor Hispanic kid with an airsoft gun, and whatever stupid look teal coat dude is trying to pull does not exactly garner much positive outlook.
nah its just cuz its a $40 game. there are waaaay too many free alternatives to this game that makes it impossible to succeed as a paid game.
@@DioBrando-iq9nothe free beta for this game also was a failure so I doubt it being free would change much
I think every game need good character designers to get success
Another addition to the "Go woke, go broke" hall of fame
Even if you win you feel like you lose because of the time you wasted
also 40$
this reminds me of the game they play on Grown Ups where they're just going around throwing grandmas off a ship
Nah that game looked like a granny goat simulator with cool weapons, I would gladly pay $40 for that game
the wallhacks for 4 seconds after hitting someone feels like fps training wheels
TH-cam really needs to get these comments sorted. If random people with less inside knowledge on the website can make bots, the people with all of the knowledge have to be able to prevent it. No reason why creators should have to ban them all, and viewers report the accounts because it’s just going to temporarily reduce it, not fix it
ironic this post itself has bots under it
They won't do anything until someone writes an article about all the CheesePizza the bots spam in the comments and ads start to pull out of the website
@@TotisTurnOfficial You're right, I'm going to stop reporting and just contact advertisers about what is playing on their videos, make youtube care then.
You really think making a bot is hard? 😂 you can make these comment bots with less than 20 lines of code
Bot farms generate thousands upon thousands of these bots easily. Moreover they reuse one or (likely) more AI models. Not all bots spam garbage which is easy to ban or has any kind of recognizable "pattern" to it. I'm afraid bots will remain a problem until they somehow become ineffective at gathering money (subscription/pr0n spam) or until we are forced to give up privacy (i.e. ID card / passport) before being able to create new accounts.
That said, YT can definitely step up their game and ban at least obvious bot comments more efficiently (e.g. those that post the same message twice in very short interval or many using the same profile picture). Unfortunately for us, the AI-driven future will only bring about more bots...
12:40 a certified moist classic
Dude I literally was listening to the original song right before watching this vid
@@MStreamsI definitely know the song I just can’t remember the name
I need too now the name lol
@@Waylon-co4xq It's called "Drift Away".
Another gem of wordplay by the Moist Man.
"It's insane how few people are playing this game after how high the budget and marketing was for it"
Marketing? I must just not get ads for new games or something because the first time I ever heard of Concord was people talking about how the game died on release.
yea I never heard of this game until the beta dropped
Yeah, Literally the *only* things I have seen about this game, whether its advertisement or simply people talking about it, is charlie's videos on it. I didn't even see any banner on steam or anything.
dawg the first time i ever heard of Concord was watching this video 😭😭
@@mileenaeupheme1975 oh cool so more people actually never heard of this game. Glad there’s more of us 😂
I remember hearing about this game a while ago but I genuinely forgot about this game till the beta. Then I forgot AGAIN until I saw the reviews come out.
To know that Charlie was one of the 316 people playing when I checked the steam charts for this game today, it gives me a good chuckle.
He was .3% of the population on

bro your creativity is bigger than the level designers.
@@schonkigplavuis8850 not a high bar to cross, but thank you nonetheless. 🙏
This video has more views than all concord promotional content in youtube
It doesn’t get better Charles,it doesn’t get better
what do you mean
I'm so Sorry for carlito
🚨 PSA to Penguinz0's audience 🚨Don't reply to whoever troll bots you see. Report them and move on. Also, do not cause any comment wars over trolls as they'll satisfy themselves with your negative reactions.
Ok
Just stfu no one cares
Thank god😊
thanks man this is genuinely good advice

bro already knew the plug was getting pulled 😂
Getting an mvp and saying "I do that now" is the most forspoken dialogue I've heard.
i love watching big companies losing money
i love watching woke freaks cope with seeing their agenda fall apart before their very eyes
Hopefully they will make better games after they realizes they make money
All well and good to like watching Sony lose money, but you have to feel for the studio, this being their first game. Likely to be shuttered after this with hundreds out a job.
@aidonmcknight5957 you blame their manager or marketing team they said they were making this game for modern audiences
@@aidonmcknight5957I mean the game devs clearly know how to, y’know develop so maybe they can get a redemption arc if they don’t get shut down lol
Gameplay doesn’t seem bad , just doesn’t have any relatable characters
Concord was so bad that not even rule 34 wanted to touch it
Edit: I just looked, and there are only 3 results lmao
I think that was part of their design philosophy - so that it wouldn't end up like Overwatch where the porn was bigger than the game itself. Great job guys, you succeeded :-/
Was at least two out of the three of the results the game itself getting fucked by player count?
WHO ARE THOSE CREATURES WHO ACTUALLY MADE THAT
idk man haymar doesn't seem too bad
@@Taimai mean the porn is still bigger than the game itself tho
"this is some of the worst aim 2024 has ever seen" Charlie You've clearly never watched me play CounterStrike lol
Or me play Valorant🤣
it took 4 players to take him down, thats like half the server. he's truly the best concord player
1:20 well they are putting this game into an Amazon Video series. It's getting an episode based on it alongside some of the most Iconic video games ever. Which is hilarious.
Well, Amazon made sure that New World would be included in the lineup. That show just looks like another Ready Player One.
Video games can be industry plants now ☠️
They should have done an episode on Silent hill or Conker
goddamn the people behind this game actually fart out 24k gold bricks
They were prob expecting a big hit, putting the cart before the horse as it were
For a game with so much color they managed to pick only the most unappealing combinations
12:40
I was not expecting the Gimme the Beat song break, and was quite happy
EA's abandoned projects like battlefront 1 and 2, or GW2 have higher player counts. This is absolutely fried
Garden warfare is fire
man im confident gw1 has a higher playercount than this😭🙏
@@zncdoesstuffit literały has, i got into a match in like 5 seconds about 5 Times and it happened this week, a decade after GW1 released, im pretty sure GW1 had less Players for the past 8 years since GW2 released in 2016 than in had today, and i play on PC, these games are apparently more alive on consoles
Meanwhile Charlie said he waited 3 minutes for one match 16:10
NFS Heat has more players and that game didn't even get a full year of support
Concord is a turbo flop
This man turned a joke into a series with hope, despair, loss and hype. He deserves every bit of recognition he has and even beyond that
The Scott pilgrim girl was too accurate
man he didn't have to do Ramona like that 😂
I talked to a friend of mine about this complete failure of a game and he said that he was very disappointed that Sony canned Naughty Dog's The Last of Us Factions while they marketed and released this heap of shit and I remembered that Naughty Dog had Bungie consulting them about how to make a multiplayer game and Firewalk were ex-Bungie devs. I thought that was fucking hysterical and I laughed my ass off for a solid minute. Fuck this game.
I'm really glad it was cancelled. Naughty dog being turned into a 1 game live service machine would've been so sad to witness
Naughty dog is trash now, we don't want any last of us garbage
I’d be the happiest person in the world if they stopped making Last of Us entirely. Overrated series
@@chillhopdrumz1862stop hating
@@chillhopdrumz1862 ope, found the edgy kid that hates a great game because everyone liked it.
I like Charlie has just stopped reporting TH-cam drama, I think he's feeling much more high energy and happier.
She concord on my concord till I concord
she $40 on my concord till i refund
She concorded on my defender until I flopped
It feels so refreshing to have a normal gaming video no chat or anything, big vibe
As someone who doesnt enjoy Overwatch I see this as practically the same game
Its actually unironically kind of cool to have a 1 n 262 chance of playing Critikal everytime you queue
There are more elders at a local community bingo night than this game 💀
Whoa! Charlie is a PROPHET. LOL They shut it down. 🤣
Some of these companies don't understand that longer development time is not synonymous with quality. It also is a risk that your game may not be relevant 8 years from now when you finally release it.
Tbf the game in technical terms do have quality, speaking only about graphics and animations and environments, is just the art style, the narrative and modeling that are ruining the game, and saying "just" is an understatement.
@@ivanirias4988 nah look at the Hud , the fcking A B C in the middle of the screen
and gameplay just seems so boring.
@@spooky4320 Oh no yeah, the HUD is hideous
They showed a story in the cinematic trailer, why not just do a singleplayer game based off of that? Live service trash doesn't always need to be prioritized.
Cause it'll be guardians of the galaxy? You could've answered your own question man
Some bot stole this comment and boosted it with 100 or 150 likes
@@meodrac ofc it did youtube comments are cancer
This game is like one of those games that phone companies use in their ads
I have never seen a single ad for concord so I was shocked to hear this game had marketing, I only know it exists because of Charlie. Also they really named it “concord”
Playstation has been spamming adverts for this game like crazy, especially on social media platforms.. they can’t take a hint.
"I didn't pay $40 to lose..."
and yet, you purchased Concord.
He made that money back and more on this video alone lol. It's simply for content.
@@kassaken6521 valid point
Whoosh
Things I Like About Concord:
-The retro sci-fi Star Trek-like UI is kind of neat
-Nobody playing so any time you actually get a match you feel like a pro
-I like seeing gamers as a whole come together to collectively "meh, no thanks" at something
-Charlie's keyboard noises
"Good idea" and "Concord" are two words that shouldn't be in the same sentence
Also its a dime in the well for Charlie but -40$ like it must feel cool being one of the less than 1000 or so people who bought this. I think when this game inevitably gets delisted and forgotten by PlayStation I think it'll be fun to have that in your memory.
Can’t spell concord without con
It’s a good idea to pull the plug for concord
Bro just threw out the forspoken “Yeah I do that now”
12:39 it's like we went back to 2014 pre-cam cr1tikal 🙏

This popped up in the rotating comments seconds before it happened lmao
cackled
Read this as soon as he moaned😭🤣
There are more comments on this video than the actual amount of people peaked playing Concord.
this aged very well
Indeed
Having never played the game myself, even its title feels wrong considering that "Concord" means "agreement or harmony between people or groups" and it's a damn FPS.
It did unite the gaming audience in their disdain for this digital excrement. In a way, the title fits.
@@bottomlefto Such clairvoyance on the part of the developers is commendable I suppose.
It makes sense if you read the lore
the fact that there are hentai games with more concurrent players right now is even crazier.
People are horny AF. Have you noticed that at least half the comments are complaining they can't get a boner to the characters? Everything has to be sexualized or it's "woke".
There are a thousand reasons to hate on this game, call it bad, or whatever. But I really don't understand the hate on character design and hotness. If you want to be turned on, just watch pawn or play one of the hentai games out there. There's plenty of free, high quality stuff out there with that expressed purpose.
YEA PERTURBATOR
honestly with how many people complain about newer games having ""ugly"" characters its not surprising a ton of them are playing hentai
Even the HUD is ugly.
3:01 8 years in develop and the best they could come up with is a canister of piss
The UI is awful. That "A B C" looks so out of place
It works great, easy to spot and locate. The whole UI is nice and easy, not too many options.
I want Charlie to make another Concord video talking about the game going offline after being such a flop.
Guys it took 8.5 hours from when I commented this for him to post it.
I know this argument is way overused, especially by not so good people, but the characters genuinely look like they were made as inoffensive as possible. Everything about them, their looks, background, personality, etc, are so wacky, but also bland at the same time like its a paradox.
Being a hambeast or butter golem should not be inoffensive.
There's no bite, no edge, no appeal. It's all mayo, no spice, no pepper, not even any salt. They're the British food of character design.
But why did they make them so offensive to the eyes then??
Charlie is just prolonging the death rattle of this game lol, imagine the hope this will give the dev's when they see a few streams and completely ignore what he and others are actually saying during it.
Something I've always thought didn't add up is despite the immensely low player count, from what I've seen from streamers the queue times for unranked are actually very fast, rarely more than 30 seconds. Overwatch and dead by daylight have no excuse if CONCORD of all games has better queue times than them.
charlie is singlehandedly keeping up the player count of this game at this point
