I don't want to play a game with characters that look like ordinary Walmart people. Skinny, old, short, fat, and some creepy no face diver suit. And they are running so slowly just like Walmart people should be.
I mean, isn't Apex Legends full of characters who just look like normal people? I have 0 interest in Concord but I think that's a little unfair criticism
@@olliej.2776 You might right but Apex has really good gameplay that can cover up this character design(and still better than concord). Concord is just purely unappealing and boring to play in my opinion. Looking cool but not sexually attractive and just looking ugly have a little difference. Even right now there are 120000+ players in Apex, it says everything.
One aspect not mentioned in the video, is PvP games with smaller communities tend to cannibalize themselves. The good players get really good. To cut down on match times, matchmaking becomes less picky, which leads to premade groups and or veterans repeatedly destroying new players. There aren't many people that enjoy being destroyed in PvP games for dozens of hours, until they reach a similar level of skill.
I experience this with Overwatch 2 to some degree. The community is still big, but if you play late at night the matchmaker has to be loose to make up for fewer online players in those late hours, so those games have greater odds of being very one-sided.
You described Ironsight to a tee, and I play that game from time to time because it's fun even though it's pretty much a dead game, but it still trucks along with minimal updates.
It’s not just the smaller PvP games that have this issue, even a massive game like Destiny 2 struggles with this exact same issue. Bungie goes back and forth time and time again with matchmaking. It works for them in the long run because they do have such a large player base. It’s going to be next to impossible for a game like “Concord” to figure that problem out.
How many boxes can we check? If we check all the boxes then that company we hire to tell us to add more BIPOCs with vitiligo will give us an “Ally” Sticker!!!!!
I know physical attraction is subjective and it really doesn't matter in the grand scheme of things, but these are genuinely some of of the ugliest characters I've seen in a video game.
I'm just going to say it. Physical attraction ISNT subjective. Everyone is attracted to beautiful people, it's just some people have kinks for fat people, stuff like that. There's also ugly people who like attractive people, but those attractive people will never date a ugly person 99% of the time, so the ugly person dates another ugly person and says "oh beauty is in the eyes of the beholder! I'm definitely not just dating this girl because I can't get a hot one!" Obviously there's nuances to it that I'm not covering, but it's very very clear humans have a standard of beauty and attractiveness that has been around since humans first existed. Even children know what that standard of beauty is. People just grow up, and they're a 5-6, so they want to suddenly claim that beauty is subjective when it's categorically false. Now, is it possible to think a 6 is beautiful? Absolutely. But they're still a 6. And is it possible someone truly thinks that a 6 is actually a 10? Absolutely, but that's like . 1% of people who truly believe that and it isn't because of love or delusion.
@@Kratos-eg7ez Women --because of natural--are not really attracted to short-men. I'm not tall, I'm 5'3 and I'm aware not many would find me attractive despite my healthy physique. Then again I've never been interested in marriage or children. I'm not "insulting myself" as some might think. I am simply aware of some aspects of human-nature. Are there exceptions? Sure, but it's not the norm. 😐
It very much matters in the grand scheme of things. Absolutely nobody wants to play a hero shooter with characters that look like they were modeled after people who work at the post office.
People don't seem to realize how much the the character appearance matters. What is the monetization for those games? Skins, people buy skins, why? Because they like the look of the base character and they like the alternative look of it. What cool looking badass(or sexy) character is in Concord? They didn't make it for the avarage player of those games, they made it for their own focus group. It doesn't matter if the gameplay is solid if the thene is boring/ugly, presentation matters alot in a "live-service" And it goes double so if the gane is generic and boring. Look at the First Descendent and look at this, it's night and day, of course those are different genres, but I still think it is relevant. I don't understand, how is it that games with potential get ruined by greedy mandates and poor leadership, like Overwatch, what were they doing for all those years while the game was dying? Because they cancelled PvE. And games like Concord and S*icide Squad get a huge budget to flush down the toilet because the people in charge get too much freedom to ignore what the general audience wants and focus on a none existing audience.
Yea, look at OW2 releasing a very fine character right after Microsoft fired their DEI team 😂 The announcement video for their previous character Venture, who is non-binary, got 1.1M views in 3 months. For Juno, who just came out, got 2M views in 3 days
Best example would be. League of legends. Putting asides the shitty community, that game makes a ton off of Champion skin sales. Not only do most skins look amazing, a lot of them come in sets that each have their separate universe lore. There are 2 reasons people play champions in LoL - They're strong as shit - They look hot/Sexy/cool/badass
It's pretty hilarious how out of tune the dev studio and Sony are if they thought this would do well. It probably would fail if it was free to play, imo, but as a game with a price it's basically certain
@@M3g4UBERn00b Honestly there were competitors to Overwatch back then that had potential but Overwatch just beat them all. Like Gigantic. I think Gigantic's buy-to-play version is more worthy of your money than Concord.
It’s hard to fathom Sony had seven Live Service games in development, and this was one of them, makes you think how much Sony would lose players on PS5 if they had nothing but live service games to play.
@@10191927 to be fair this was being worked on already and Sony chose to buy the studio. I can't imagine how awful their own Live Service games were if this was the only thing that survived
😔 It’s such a shame that Sony alienated all the Japanese developers cuz now the console is worthless to me. Especially since all the “exclusives” end up on pc anyways. PS5 is just a demon souls remake machine

Players are excited to try it, clearly! And what is the bad news? - Players count went from 1k players to 2k players... - ... We are fucked.

It's not just the wasted money...but the years wasted waiting for something that we all actually want to play. I'm getting older, waiting these 5 - 8 years for studios next game. When one flops that's 10 - 16 years waiting. I probably don't have that much time left on this planet.
Considering I've been enjoying the hobby since the late PS1 era, I am satisfied with the outcomes, last year was special with Baldur's Gate and Zelda. It sucks to wait 5+ years for a direct sequel (like Horizon and Spiderman), but most likely this PS5 generation will be my last anyway, so it is what it is. At least Capcom is on a roll, their engine is efficient, so they can release big games every year. Also the backlog is gigantic, I am literally playing Persona 5 Royal right now. So don't be discouraged, it's just a hobby, you can try other stuff or take advantage of the backlog
@@MasckedUpthat game has full confidence in what game it is and what it's trying to be, it doesn't tumble with the dialogue because the dialogue fits with the game, a overly dramatic anime ass game
Borderlands had the Saints row problem without the confidence. Borderlands 1 was fine, it was goofy but not super over the top. Then they saw people liking that so they brought in the writers sister and dialled it up for Borderlands 2 and people were like "Ok this is pretty silly but it's still fine" so the Devs tripled down and went fully ridiculous just trying to one up the last one to the point of annoyance. Saints row 1 was a pretty normal GTA clone, then 2 dialled it up and people liked the distinction between that and GTA then they just went "Ok, so I guess we go stupid, but self aware stupid" and made you president, then gave you super powers, then gave you mega demon Slayer super powers in hell all while being "This is what you asked for you weirdos". We don't talk about the reboot.
Listen, I'm a queer woman. My friends are queer and a few of them don't use the pronouns they were assigned at birth. We're part of the "pronouns people".

@@Bodharasah so bigot is just someone with a different opinion to yours? The guy didn’t even mention a thing about DEI! Do me a favor and go outside to see the real world.
I can't see them delaying the game at this point. It's way to close to release and realistically I can't see a year delay is going to add anything that will bring players in considering no one seems to care at this point. They'll push it out and try to put out updates, it'll go free to play within a year and will stop getting support in 2 years.
Delaying would be a massive mistake. The game could be in development for another 5 years and not get any better. The issue is the fundamental idea of the game and who they tried to target.
Potentially dead before arrival. As long as all of the devs and artists were paid, I'm at peace. But this should have been a free-to-play with other monetization options outside of pay to win
@@Thorn_416 from my experience, a lot of the higher ups are making final decisions on gameplay and art design so a lot of cool ideas can easily get swept under the rug. Happens a lot

Tough to say, destiny and Overwatch are completely different games so your parallels are all over the place. I’ll say it’s fun but should be free after putting about 12 hours into it.
Remember being in school and doing group projects where one person worked hard and the other three just kinda tagged along? This game was made by people who used to be "the other three" (Except the animators. They deserve an A and a better place to work)
Yeah, I was thinking "This looks like Guardians of the Galaxy, but ugly". They could have at least given us something like Rocket. They probably would have screwed that up too.
the few hero shooters that succeeded printed billions of dollars on skins.... battlefield would have needed to make like 20+ highly successful normal battlefield games to match that interestingly enough, ea + dice decided to stop even making successful anything games to try and mutate their franchise towards hero shooter stuff, hoping to steal just a small sent of that billion dollar skin printing machine

Because where is the point when you show off your weak identity? You just can't be a nobody and work your way up from there in today's time. Either you're a victimised edgy person with superpowers or you don't exist
@@thebulletkin8393 gaming is a visual medium. It makes sense if someone finds the visuals ugly. They're not gonna stick around and try everything else.
I'm looking forward to how the publisher is going to try to spin this to say that "no no, we were really successful this weekend. We thank our players for the overwhelming support and love you've shown the game this weekend, etc."
I just feel bad for the developers here who actually cooked, like whoever does the animations, and whoever works on the stuff under the hood for gunplay. That stuff looks tight. Too bad it's brought down by everything else. I just don't understand how any art director (unless they're at gunpoint by execs and their focus groups) would stare at the overall look and presentation of the characters and say "yep, these guys will surely attract customers". A diverse group of characters isn't the problem - Overwatch made a diverse cast look waifu level good, even the wierdos. But these Concord characters are just... they don't even have that funny charm. If I were to put the overall package into words everything about it just looks sanded down, nothing stands out.
@@guillermoelnino We're talking about a trend, the bubbles on social media who generates a lot of noise and that draw attention from outsiders, this kind of behavior exists willing or not. Even if Concord looks uneventful, here we are talking about the game, some angry comments mentioning the "pronouns", etc.. the noise remains a thing. Black Panther was promoted that way, "the first black superhero", this movie "represents" black culture, if you dislike Black Panther that makes you a racist, etc, etc.. and a average superhero movie made 1 billion dollars. But that was the explosion of the trend, now we are witnessing it's last legs, Barbie seems to be the last spark
SO many people forgt that game. Hey, do you remember the name of that wierd 1st or 3rd person (I don't remember) MOBA with many different characters, with one sayong "wmnmnminism is awesome"? And the game dies in like a month or 2?
It's not all bad. They might not be able to recover development costs but at least they'll sell enough copies to get back their $100 steam publishing fee.
Not to mention you have to create a psn account just to play it. People were uninstalling helldivers 2, a game people actually like, at the very mention of making psn accounts mandatory. I doubt those same people would create one just for this.
league used to be able to get away with 5-9 minute loads... cause you were HOPING for a balanced 30+ game not really sure that kind of patience works on arena shooters like this. people want to get in and shoot stuff
that aint bad considering to start ranked in cod mobile it takes me usually around 300 to 400 seconds to find users on grand master rank. i had to wait 800 seconds because it failed once and i dint even like the map once it started.
They got such simple feedback last week that they could have easily patched in, like just buff character speed across the board to stop it feeling so sluggish. They basically just said "No the players are wrong" and ignored it.
The problem is the game is too expensive for what it seems it's going to be. The game honestly looks fun, but there's so many free to play multiplayer games, one that's gonna charge has to really stand out, this doesn't.
It's the gaming bubble coming to it's burst honestly. this game cost 150 mil to make, the suicide squad cost wb 200 mil, Immortals of Aveum 125 mil. Those games and many others not only they didn't made even, or received badly etc. they were total flops , almost all their money went down the drain
@@drawgam2946 i agree don't get me wrong and it will get even better once the bubble burst because they will be more careful where they put the huge amounts of money they are putting right now. For example the internet bubble happened 24 years ago and filtered out all the overvalued websites but the good ones remained and they thrived.
@@drawgam2946 yes. Its always has been sucks. it just so happens some of them are good enough to fool people that gaming is good over the years. gaming and the overall entertainment industry is overvalued.
Tried it on PC. I'm a casual player of mp FPSs, bit of COD every few years, had a blast with Aliens Fireteam Elite, put a few dozen hours into Hell Let Loose, and that's about it since...2020. I think Concord is cool though nothing spectacular. I prefer a more grounded aesthetic but it is very pretty. Artstyle aside, the visuals are top-notch. It just doesn't seem to do anything gameplay-wise, to set itself apart. But what do I know? It feels a little basic. If Sony is asking 40 bucks for this, it's gotta to do more. Sony needs original IP in the FPS arena though, so I do hope this finds an audience. What I'd really love to see is a return to the Killzone franchise. Man, a modern Killzone on PS5 hardware could be incredible.
Aliens Fireteam Elite was fun. I played it and the dlc. Sadly the matchmaking is a poor design for the small amount of players so it made it difficult to find other players to play with.
Considering that the peak player count of this game has at most about a third of what lawbreakers did at its peak I’m surprised that you thought this game had a chance to begin with
That's interesting, you made me search for it, Lawbreakers had a peak of 7500 players, lol Currently Overwatch "2" is being played by 25k on Steam... the numbers are so pathetic, a market of hundreds of millions globally and you can't barely reach 100k?
Me and my friends can't even group up together to play this beta as a joke, im the only one who downloaded it on Friday morning and I still haven't started it
@@shalindelta7 No, because I already have and actively use these accounts. However, I've never had a console or a need for a PSN account, so I don't see a reason to make one just to try out a random hero shooter for a few days.
Lame excuse, you can make a PSN account in less than 5 minutes. People complained about Helldivers 2 because Sony sold the game for countries who didn't had access to PSN, that was obviously wrong. But if you live in a country who have access to PSN and want to play a Sony game online, it is what it is, Sony will sell your data just like Valve, Microsoft, EA, NetEase, etc..
They actually cancelled most of their Live service game initiative. It went from 15 games in development to something like 6. I think this is a very good example of why not pursuing those games was a good idea.
another important note about Overwatch 1, when that game came out for full price and did so well: the cosmetic slot machine in that game cost a single dollar per pull, and if you played the game regularly, you got 1-3 free pulls a day
It is one of those games where an exec/upper management saw some other games and said...make that, basically a bandwagon game, though and what i saw it really does not look like it has the content to keep people
i don't buy online only games that often anyways but I swear they managed to get caught in both video game fatigue and marvel fatigue at the same time.
@bjornironside4674 It's an oversaturation of a type of game. Like we already have good versions of live service games that set the standard pretty high with plenty of examples of failures, too. In order to be successful you have to stand out and at minimum be good lol. Because if not, the players who play these games will just stick with the better ones.
I think the funniest part about the "pronouns" feature is that they have "he's," "she's," and "they's," but then they have an "undecided." If you insist on an unnecessary feature, maybe don't create characters that cannot fit the quota _by definition_ lol
"Maybe they don't want to play as a giant trash can with pronouns listed." Luke was trying to be so good and not bring up one of the most obvious in your face parts of the game. 😆

Concord has no problem, it's a game made specifically for the modern audience and the entire modern audience did show up to play it.
HAHAHAha you cooked them

Pretty much bro, Azz from Heel Vs Babyface is proven right more and more everyday.

I know physical attraction is subjective and it really doesn't matter in the grand scheme of things, but these are genuinely some of of the ugliest characters I've seen in a video game.
I'm just going to say it. Physical attraction ISNT subjective. Everyone is attracted to beautiful people, it's just some people have kinks for fat people, stuff like that. There's also ugly people who like attractive people, but those attractive people will never date a ugly person 99% of the time, so the ugly person dates another ugly person and says "oh beauty is in the eyes of the beholder! I'm definitely not just dating this girl because I can't get a hot one!" Obviously there's nuances to it that I'm not covering, but it's very very clear humans have a standard of beauty and attractiveness that has been around since humans first existed. Even children know what that standard of beauty is. People just grow up, and they're a 5-6, so they want to suddenly claim that beauty is subjective when it's categorically false. Now, is it possible to think a 6 is beautiful? Absolutely. But they're still a 6. And is it possible someone truly thinks that a 6 is actually a 10? Absolutely, but that's like . 1% of people who truly believe that and it isn't because of love or delusion.

I just don't like people that virtue-signal. It is pretentious and I would rather prefer honesty, regardless.
It very much matters in the grand scheme of things. Absolutely nobody wants to play a hero shooter with characters that look like they were modeled after people who work at the post office.
People don't seem to realize how much the the character appearance matters.
What is the monetization for those games?
Skins, people buy skins, why? Because they like the look of the base character and they like the alternative look of it.
What cool looking badass(or sexy) character is in Concord?
They didn't make it for the avarage player of those games, they made it for their own focus group.
It doesn't matter if the gameplay is solid if the thene is boring/ugly, presentation matters alot in a "live-service"
And it goes double so if the gane is generic and boring.
Look at the First Descendent and look at this, it's night and day, of course those are different genres, but I still think it is relevant.
I don't understand, how is it that games with potential get ruined by greedy mandates and poor leadership, like Overwatch, what were they doing for all those years while the game was dying? Because they cancelled PvE.
And games like Concord and S*icide Squad get a huge budget to flush down the toilet because the people in charge get too much freedom to ignore what the general audience wants and focus on a none existing audience.
Yea, look at OW2 releasing a very fine character right after Microsoft fired their DEI team 😂 The announcement video for their previous character Venture, who is non-binary, got 1.1M views in 3 months. For Juno, who just came out, got 2M views in 3 days
Best example would be. League of legends. Putting asides the shitty community, that game makes a ton off of Champion skin sales. Not only do most skins look amazing, a lot of them come in sets that each have their separate universe lore.
There are 2 reasons people play champions in LoL
- They're strong as shit
- They look hot/Sexy/cool/badass
DEI is the only thing that matters
Dead by Daylight is also an incredible example. They release barefoot swimsuit skins for the hot female survivors xD
Lets not forget how many of these players are streamers who only played to review the game.
and game journalists, and reviewers, and testers.... Not so many of them are actual regular gamers
It's pretty hilarious how out of tune the dev studio and Sony are if they thought this would do well. It probably would fail if it was free to play, imo, but as a game with a price it's basically certain

Considering I've been enjoying the hobby since the late PS1 era, I am satisfied with the outcomes, last year was special with Baldur's Gate and Zelda. It sucks to wait 5+ years for a direct sequel (like Horizon and Spiderman), but most likely this PS5 generation will be my last anyway, so it is what it is. At least Capcom is on a roll, their engine is efficient, so they can release big games every year. Also the backlog is gigantic, I am literally playing Persona 5 Royal right now.

Borderlands problem with dialogue is not just that it's cringe, there's too much of it. At some point it just becomes meaningless white noise.
Borderlands had the Saints row problem without the confidence. Borderlands 1 was fine, it was goofy but not super over the top. Then they saw people liking that so they brought in the writers sister and dialled it up for Borderlands 2 and people were like "Ok this is pretty silly but it's still fine" so the Devs tripled down and went fully ridiculous just trying to one up the last one to the point of annoyance.
Saints row 1 was a pretty normal GTA clone, then 2 dialled it up and people liked the distinction between that and GTA then they just went "Ok, so I guess we go stupid, but self aware stupid" and made you president, then gave you super powers, then gave you mega demon Slayer super powers in hell all while being "This is what you asked for you weirdos". We don't talk about the reboot.

it's probably going to get the Marvel avengers treatment, dead within the year and no support not even at 1 whole year
Delaying would be a massive mistake. The game could be in development for another 5 years and not get any better. The issue is the fundamental idea of the game and who they tried to target.

I think Concord is cool though nothing spectacular. I prefer a more grounded aesthetic but it is very pretty. Artstyle aside, the visuals are top-notch. It just doesn't seem to do anything gameplay-wise, to set itself apart. But what do I know? It feels a little basic. If Sony is asking 40 bucks for this, it's gotta to do more.
Sony needs original IP in the FPS arena though, so I do hope this finds an audience. What I'd really love to see is a return to the Killzone franchise. Man, a modern Killzone on PS5 hardware could be incredible.
Aliens Fireteam Elite was fun. I played it and the dlc. Sadly the matchmaking is a poor design for the small amount of players so it made it difficult to find other players to play with.
The artstyle is so bad that I feel bad for the animators. You can tell they put in the effort.

Lame excuse, you can make a PSN account in less than 5 minutes. People complained about Helldivers 2 because Sony sold the game for countries who didn't had access to PSN, that was obviously wrong. But if you live in a country who have access to PSN and want to play a Sony game online, it is what it is, Sony will sell your data just like Valve, Microsoft, EA, NetEase, etc..
They actually cancelled most of their Live service game initiative. It went from 15 games in development to something like 6.
I think this is a very good example of why not pursuing those games was a good idea.
another important note about Overwatch 1, when that game came out for full price and did so well:
the cosmetic slot machine in that game cost a single dollar per pull, and if you played the game regularly, you got 1-3 free pulls a day

What's a Concord? The french plane that crashed and was never used?
British/French plane that didn't crash but flew for like 30 years. It did eventually get retired because flying it was just too expensive. 😊
u mean the Soviet copy, Concordski (Tu-144) lol.
@@linkfreeman1998 not fully sure of the history here but the Concord was produced 2 years before the Concordski. So, I'd doubt it 😊
A concord is a state of agreement or unity, like a treaty between nations. The supersonic passenger plane was called "Concorde" (with an e).
@@VitalVampyr Makes sense, since the Concorde was a collab between nations, France and the UK.
I wouldn't play this even if they paid me 40$ to play it
"Maybe they don't want to play as a giant trash can with pronouns listed." Luke was trying to be so good and not bring up one of the most obvious in your face parts of the game. 😆
Pronouns😂
Im just going to say this. My bunny skin is worth more than 100 hrs spending time on a game where the developers wont even care about your opinion.
