    A big reason for the big bad reaction is multi player live service fatigue. I’m not saying concord can’t be good, but I am saying that I immediately was turned off by another one of these style of games.

    To be fair, a lot of Overwatch characters' movesets were taken from the different TF2 builds. Blizzard just made some of them look like hot Pixar characters.
    So you could say Sony's biggest problem is not copying, but just making the game look bland as hell.

    • @Billy-bc8pk
      @Billy-bc8pk 11 дней назад

      Overwatch was basically the last big Western release featuring purposely hot characters to draw players in. We've seen that Nexon has successfully mirrored the formulae with The First Descendant and a whole bunch of cash-shop players running around as the hot Bunny character.
      Concord basically offers all of the tired tropes from "modern entertainment" with nothing original, and -- as you mentioned -- not copying any of the good parts that initially made Overwatch popular.

    Even if the game lasts, nobody is going to watch the story things. We already know it's going to be cringe as can be but even if it's not, nobody is going to watch them. The people that want a story play single player games. The people who play multiplayer don't care about a story. Also, what in the world are the 2 people doing at 2:55? 2 people getting shot in the back for 5 minutes and not 1 turns around.

  • @Xsudan
    @Xsudan 13 дней назад +37

    It's crazy to me that people genuinely believe the devs will be able to keep up a weekly story content schedule with any degree of quality. Many of the biggest studios have had to extend seasons by 6 months to try to get any amount of worthwhile content out. And we're supposed to expect weekly cutscenes? How many of those are going to have been developed pre-release to be slowly dripfed, rather than being in the actual game?

    • @chuckles471
      @chuckles471 13 дней назад +10

      I'm guessing they will have about 6 months to a year of cutscene in the bag as a buffer. And depending on how successful the game is? Will determine if they keep on creating them.
      Like if they get there dream scenario and get like Overwatch just released big. Then they will easily be able to get the resources to do weekly story stuff to probably not even need a buffer.
      But most likely the game won't do that good, and after the 6 months to a year, they will give the news that they are cutting down on story content. Will probably turn into bi-weekly, then slowly into monthly... Then maintenance mode.

    • @kcakiid

    Great watch as always. As someone who doesn't play these multiplayer games i feel like the repetitive nature is part and parcel with the genresof these live service shooters where you can only really do so much so studios will often do things that aren't original because theres existing winning formulas on the market. Versus maybe some single player genres where we may see more variety since there is room to do those experiments rather than chase that constant live service cash cow where studios are fighting for those attention spans.

    I really appreciate the tone of this video! Fair skepticism and leaving room for the game to prove itself. As a part of the minority that is really excited for concord I hope I get to say "i told you so" once we get to play it. I just get tired of the kneejerk reaction of "corny dialogue, hero shooter, this game is trash, end of discussion."
    My real concern is that the Beta (with nearly full-release content) arrives this weekend and there's hardly been any promotion. Leaving stuff for the full release is great, but I expected some type of deeper look at the loadout system or maybe show more of the characters we've hardly seen or literally anything. My copium says they have some huge ace up their sleave that will generate massive hype, but I dream. Seems like they would at least be dropping hints if they had more planned.
    In any case, people should try the open beta. If the game is good it should speak for itself.

    I feel like Concord being a PvP hero shooter was a last minute decision. They should have made it more of an actual heist game with possible co-op. You hire on some crew members, take jobs, gain or lose reputation with factions, get gear and specialize people in varying ways, maybe rescue crew from prisons or criminal hideouts if they get "killed" on a mission, actually be the scoundrels they're painted to be. Instead we get escort the McGuffin for the 500th time because the intro dialogue during the obligatory flyover of the map told me if we win this match then Ponzi Schemo will get another bottle of hot sauce or something. The stuff like weekly cutscenes isn't going to sell copies, it's something you can experience in a compilation video on youtube once a month to get the current story.

    This is a bit of a rant in general for media in this day and age, but one of the unfortunate results of our current pop culture landscape is that originality and novelty are at a premium above all else. We as consumers of media are like drug addicts when it comes to story and gameplay experiences, as we've burned through so many styles and genres that eventually there's domination by a few select franchises that represent cultural niches. Many people dunking on this game for being unoriginal and pulling from other franchises, and this is exactly why studios now are terrified of making a new IP. Why go to the lengths of making your own new thing that does pay homage to other sources when you'll just be immediately met with "they're just aping Overwatch and GotG".

Nothing about this really strikes me as one person's artistic vision, more like it's a safe and approachable way to try and make some money in the hero shooter market with a setting that's juuuust distinct enough to not be called a blatant ripoff, so I feel like that's going to make people immediately more critical of it.

      In the modern age, Hero Shooter equals Bad Writing, insufferable characters, microtransaction hell, and such.
      The problem is that everyone is trying to be the next big thing. Instead of making something they themselves truly want to do.

Yet everybody just sees it as a cashgrab, etc. Maybe we should give it a shot instead of letting it die and then blame "the industry". Because that is what usually happens.

      That is such a good point, every game I play now is riddled with cheaters, I witnessed a ego dual between hackers the other day on overwatch than got 2 more that same night, go play apex and again just clear hacking and I'm so sick of it in all my games, so it seems all f2p are just riddled with the little rats but I never had this issue in overwatch till it went f2p, even when it was nearing the end of its live as overwatch1 there were never many hackers but now it's all I see the content creators talk about, or I go on twitter and it's all just people complaining about hackers.

    PVE is easier for upfront cost. these moba style usually comes with extra cost of buying a champ/hero too. its going to be so costly to try to get most heroes depending on the grind settings. just hope the hero acquisition is not too grindy and forces months of gameplay to get the full roster of heroes. skill trees would need a lot of differences for hero shooters.

Think the only people who are saying helldivers is suffering are people who are new to gaming or play waaaay too much.

Pretty sure helldivers 2 has had plenty of free updates so far and will continue to i the future, idk why anyone would complain about a live service game selling cosmetic only mtx. You do know it isnt free to host online servers right? plus your fallout 4 "gotcha" is weak considering fallout 4 was a barren bore of a game until mods. even the expansions (if you can even call them that) were lacking, before that game we got actual expansions in better games frankly (fallout 3, oblivion, new vegas) which is another example of higher player counts not necessarily meaning a game is better or dying etc people still make mods for oblivion, people can still easily find a match in helldivers 2.

    The gameplay will be probably be fine. The studio was founded by ex-Bungie devs and you can see from the combat that it looks _very_ similar to Destiny. Say what you want about Destiny, but the gameplay itself is pretty good. The problem with Concord is everything else. The characters give off a bootleg Guardians of the Galaxy vibe, and everything else just looks like generic sci-fi. You need to bring your A-game when designing a new IP, and if this is the best they could come up with, then I doubt they'll have good ideas for anything else in the game.

    Without a single player story to properly introduce us to the world/setting of the game, what makes you think I’m gonna care about the weekly cutscene to push the story forward? This was a massive oversight by the studio, and is one thing Overwatch doesn’t offer is a single player campaign. That would’ve helped a lot in differentiating the two and could’ve went a lot way towards selling the game to everyone.

  • @THEWraithKing

    I don't think it's about whether this game is good or not. It's a hero shooter, these games usually do very well and are pretty fun to play regardless. And I have played most all of them and have enjoyed playing. In fact, I think I'll enjoy frag punk when it comes out! But here's the thing.. Most every single hero shooter to date is free. Even OverWatch, the one that seems to hold the crown as most popular is now completely free.
    So whenever I see the trailer for this game, it looks nice and all but it's going to be another hero shooter and a live service at that. So why? Why should I spend a larg upfront price on something that I can play free in several different variants? For me, I couldn't care less if it's a new game that found inspiration from hero shooters or wants to be another MOBA. If the developers follow the herd and create their own unique twist to a genre, that's fine. But if your inspiration is a horde of free to play games don't expect me to play if you ask for an upfront price. I think what happened to the game exoprimal is a perfect example of this exact situation

    Why would good writing mean it has to be singleplayer? I think its kinda bad that only singleplayer games get quality storylines. There is no reason they cant have a good ongoing story for a hero shooter. Its actually a perfect genre for an ongoing TV show-like storyline.
    Early previews that are sponsored are toxic. Don't defend them. If you want to get exposure, you do an open beta. Sponsored gameplay that only creators who are being bribed get to play.... its fucking terrible for consumers.

    It just looks mid. And no offense to anyone who designed or helped develop this game, I just cannot get excited about it.
    It's not just that it looks generic, and that there's really nothing engaging about it; It's also the idea that these people are presenting this game, and we're supposed to take them at the word that they won't be like every other live service title that's coming out these days.
    We're supposed to just trust at we're going to get new content quickly, that it's going to be good, that the balance is going to be anything, and that's on top of assuming the game is going to be fun at all.
    And then on top of THAT, all live service designs are fundamentally flawed. There is an inescapable problem with designing your game to generate endless content, and generate endless money; The idea that there's always more money to be earned, and that you're always going to be able to take a cut off and pie that is getting smaller and smaller, is ridiculous on principle and we can see it failing again and again in practice.
    So you have a game built on a shaky model no one liked in the first place and that everyone is tired of, and the game really should step forward and show us their best but we get... This. And then if you look past all of it and do have faith in this game, how can you trust that it's going to last more than a year or two? It would be one thing to say that in a vacuum, but we lost two last month, so it's not just within the realm of possibility but it has a vacation home there.

      ​​@@JadepeanutI dont think its chasing either of those trends, concord is clearly trying to target the crucible audience from destiny, crucible is so fun gunplay wise and ability wise but because its attached to a pve game the balance is abysmal and you got a 300$ price tag to enter as well as grinding your life away to keep up making it much less about your skill and much more about your ability to grind, plus the bp sells actual guns so it can feel pay to win sometimes but the gameplay is top teir and maybe the best in the business.
      So logically someone should create a crucible experience without all the baggage, them making it a hero shooter was just probably because it would make it stand out even more from halo and destiny while being able to maintain the gunplay and feel of destiny.
