I have zero sympathy for the concord devs. They were so sure of themselves. So arrogant in their self righteousness that they thought this dog crap would be a hit.
Which is sad, because it’s a well-written movie. But Hollywood, being Hollywood, sees a successful thing and assumes it will work in everything, only for that thing to become hated because that type of dialogue does *not* work on everything.
Overwatch’s game design is based around objective play so the character abilities were made with teamwork in mind not players going off on their own to get kills the fact they have a Call of Duty game mode as the main mode feels likes they completely missed the point of having supportive abilities in a hero shooter.

Wow everyone who comes to this video now will look at it like a ancient relic of the past. They are shutting the servers down officially after only being live for 2 weeks.
I think the worst part about this game is that it costs money. Now that sounds dumb but in a market that's filled with free online PvP shooters, having your game cost more than Helldivers 2, (with a bunch of different editions btw) when it is significantly worse than all of those free games is gonna kill it faster than any flat dialogue and mediocre gameplay would. Btw they tried to kill Helldivers specifically so this game would sell.
Honestly the character designs look wayyy less ugly in a bright cel-shaded style (see the animated trailer) It looks like the desings we're supposed to be bright and colorful but they're being washed out by the art style, they look like they're made for an animated sci-fi with 80s athstetics but the hyper-realism only serves to make them look ugly and uncanny. Its almost as if the art direction is very confused? Either way it ends up with some deeply unappealeing characters to look at.
@@greedyyawgoo5635 They should probably have gone for the "pays money to buy games" audience instead of the "complains about games on resetera but never plays them" audience
Thank you for reviewing this game in a real way that wasn't political. Now people have a point of reference for why the game failed more than just the politics
10:08 holy shit, exactly. This is my exact problem with the character designs in this game. It's not about their skin color, gender, sex, etc. They're just ugly and don't make any sense, Bazz being the biggest culprit. Or how about Daw. How does his outfit in any way imply that he's a healer/deployable-focused character? Teo's supposed to be a soldier. So why is he wearing an orange shirt and a football shoulder pad? Lennox is a cowboy with a revolver. Why the fuck is he wearing what looks to be a life preserver? It's like there was no thought behind these designs at all.
Before anything about the characters or any of that was brought up, Jesse Cox had the best take on this game from announcement. "Who the fuck asked for ANOTHER hero shooter" That is leaving a bad taste in people's mouths due to Overwatch 2's backlash and failures. The naming scheme for those classes sound like a nightmare. Why I like playing Paladins that have easy to understand classes Tank Support Frontline Flank Also, yeah bad character designs, I'll go back to Paladins where I'm a demon with a minigun whose ult is charging and yeeting into people.

Concord wasn't good enough to enter a mature and saturated market. Feel bad for some of the devs, its never fun to be the gaming communities punching bag.
don't feel bad for them. their lead designer has made racist remarks against white people (while being white himself), and one of their devs have called people who don't play concord "talentless freaks" (their words, not mine). they don't deserve the sympathy.
Concord's worst offense is being unspectacular. It's just so inoffensive, uncharacteristic and, frankly, normal. It has no playerbase because the people who would be interested in this kind of game are already occupied with more recognizable games.
When it comes to Character Design in Games, the Robot is usually the last chance when every other design falls. But they managed to screw that up as well. Also Jesus Christ, every game seems to try and chase the Drax character type.
I like how they went for "fun" character designs but made it the most sweaty boring type of game imaginable :) (edit: "fun" as in they thought people are going to like these characters because of how they look and act but ofc, in execution their version of "fun" is boring at best)
I think the gunplay is fun imo but the character designs are so mind-numbingly boring. I was gonna buy it to have a fun shoorter to play, but I know this is gonna die soon
I have the feeling that Concord is the video game equivalent of “the acolyte”, devs were given a blank check to get “the modern audience”, but lord knows where all that money went because I refuse to believe most of it went into the game itself it’ll limp on for maybe a year at most before being taken down and used as a tax right off
@RedPaintSpray people who get upset about star wars mumbo jumbo is so hilariously cringe. That IP sucked ass way before the acolyte came around, lmao.
@@copiagueeagle that's true, but the acolyte was a sort of reality check for anybody who kept some sort of hope for the franchise. It was dead, and the acolyte zombified the corpse only to throw it down an unreachable ditch.
Id forgive the games existence if it had a bit more visually appealing characters like something cool,hot or even cute and if the game was free to play
Imagine charging $40 for a game that doesn’t have a competitive mode yet and is adding a MTX shop anyways after bragging about not having a battle pass
This game had a lot of hard work put into it (I guess), but there is this very bizarre mentality in the industry that more people care about "representation" and "safe gaming" than like... having fun. This game has no teeth, and no soul - people need to stop pretending that a character needs only to be quippy and quirky to be likeable. On the contrary... if the quips are written by someone who has no personality of their own, and is just copying what actual, talented writers have done in other content, Concord is what you get; A bunch of nothing-burgers with guns. Also, the industry needs to bring sexy back. Good looking guys and good looking girls always make a game stand out, and sex-appeal is just that: APPEAL. If a dev thinks sexy men and women is a "bad" thing, that says more about their personal history than it does about the society they're trying to change.
Dude I'm 100% sure you didn't play this game you are just people who were influenced by the video of video games who become gay It's wrong what you say about ah it has to be beautiful and sexy blabla bla there is a film that I know of where the characters are not sexy but dirty this movie is called Pirate of the Caribbean (the guy sees a fat man in the street and he's going to have a heart attack) Before seeing the game being deleted, I decided not to listen to the criticism and to make my own opinion. and not to criticize the games on ahhh It's LGBT LGBT LGBT LGBT sucks blah blah blah I am impressed by the graphics of this game and the universe that is offered to us
@@rod2.005 damn that's a lot of words, too bad I'm not reading anything you guys wrote. Congratulations or my condolences, depending on what's applicable
@rod2.005 look at all those wasted words for a slop product that is unironically less successful than ET on the Atari and Battleborn. Dead game. Dead opinion.
I'm gonna do it... I'm going to defend Concord's character designs! Well not really defend it since they look ugly as sin, but why is it that (Not)Ramona looks way better (11:20) when drawn like a Scott Pilgrim character? Because O'Malley's art style is unique, interesting and fun, while Concord devs went for BEEG GWAPHICS and completely forgot to define an unique art direction for the game. Now if you want to play the one character that looks fun in the game you're stuck with this weird uncanny alien chick (2:35) that looks like a deformed and ugly human instead of an actual alien, all of those traits accentuated by the fact that the GWAPHICS are VEWWY BEEG and so you can REALLY see how ugly she looks. So basically, art direction (or complete lack of it anyway) made the designs worse than what they needed to be.

@RedPaintSpray people who get upset about star wars mumbo jumbo is so hilariously cringe. That IP sucked ass way before the acolyte came around, lmao.
@@copiagueeagle that's true, but the acolyte was a sort of reality check for anybody who kept some sort of hope for the franchise. It was dead, and the acolyte zombified the corpse only to throw it down an unreachable ditch.
Imagine only caring about the color of the character’s skin and not the greedy companies

Trying to deflect and say "but greedy practices! lootboxes! microtransactions!" won't make DEI and ESG scores go away
hey, aren't you the "in america if you watch the mandalorian they can legally kill your wife" guy?
Oh great that tweet is gonna stick around
@@RowbyVidsanything you make will stick around for better or…
@@RowbyVids if it makes you feel any better I've been watching you before that tweet
They removed the lgbt tag on steam
It was tagged on Steam as "LGBTQ+" and "Political" and they got rid of both of them. 😆😆😆
Id forgive the games existence if it had a bit more visually appealing characters like something cool,hot or even cute and if the game was free to play
also I despise the fact if you win the round you can no longer play as the character you want that alone prevents me from even trying the game
Overwatch? Naw that is Overweight.
Can we please just get a multiplayer shooter focused on regular deathmatch? No teams, just a free for all. I miss that shit so much.
Do u remember Tribes? That shit was so much fun…
Return of the Guardians of the Galaxy rejects.
(Concord characters)
You literally didn’t have to play no one wanted this not even the aliens lovers
you have offically contributed 0.2% of this games entire earnings
Remember peak players on launch was 600. So I wonder what happens when the “vultures” leave
Remember, most of them are reviewer. There are 120+ country on earth and each country have more than 10 game reviewer making a report on it.
This videos have more seconds than concord has players
More likes too LOL
"Why do games like this keep getting made"
I live in a city named concord and this game makes me want to move
Been there a lot, the Museum of Freedom is awesome.
They made the "soldier guy" class have a fucking bullpop. This game was born to be ass.
Rowby’s sacrifices of doing stuff like this will be remembered for generations
Looks like a bootleg guardians of the galaxy lol
You know someone somewhere looked at this and said "THIS will beat Overwatch!"
Imagine charging $40 for a game that doesn’t have a competitive mode yet and is adding a MTX shop anyways after bragging about not having a battle pass
Geh. Setting the sweet baby stuff aside. This looks like another hero shooter, another overwatch. I hate overwatch.
I was today years old when I realized that Daw was actually a HE/HIM 🤯
His uncanny resemblance to Mr. Potato Head was what tipped me off immediately.
10:32 I'm glad to see that even after all these years Fine Game Girls is still remembered by people.
Same
10:32 Omg is that a FGB reference 😂 RIP 6 years and counting.
it was surprised, but a pleasant one
Tiddy all day everyday!
6:35 DESTINY 2 MENTIONED WOOOOO
It-z looks cute af. Don`t really know why.
Yeah, i like her design, the other characters are generic as all hell but she's hella cute.
When you called the hero list deeply hateable I burst out laughing at how they ever let these designs make it to release.
Making the characters ugly on purpose was one of their biggest mistakes.
Houseflies live longer than Concord 😭
5:45 I like this guy lol.
0:53 so uhh, about that....
Annnnd it's gone
Sony and Devs: What's gone?
Concord NEEDS to go free to play. It simply wont survive.
300 million dollars spent for 300 concurrent players
maybe if they made it f2p, they would have gotten to 800 concurrents
Just remember that the character design sucks so bad that there is no r34
This game had a lot of hard work put into it (I guess), but there is this very bizarre mentality in the industry that more people care about "representation" and "safe gaming" than like... having fun. This game has no teeth, and no soul - people need to stop pretending that a character needs only to be quippy and quirky to be likeable. On the contrary... if the quips are written by someone who has no personality of their own, and is just copying what actual, talented writers have done in other content, Concord is what you get; A bunch of nothing-burgers with guns.
Also, the industry needs to bring sexy back. Good looking guys and good looking girls always make a game stand out, and sex-appeal is just that: APPEAL. If a dev thinks sexy men and women is a "bad" thing, that says more about their personal history than it does about the society they're trying to change.
Dude I'm 100% sure you didn't play this game
you are just people who were influenced by the video of video games who become gay
It's wrong what you say about ah it has to be beautiful and sexy blabla bla
there is a film that I know of where the characters are not sexy but dirty
this movie is called Pirate of the Caribbean
(the guy sees a fat man in the street and he's going to have a heart attack)
Before seeing the game being deleted, I decided not to listen to the criticism and to make my own opinion.
and not to criticize the games on ahhh It's LGBT
LGBT LGBT LGBT sucks blah blah blah
I am impressed by the graphics of this game and the universe that is offered to us
@@rod2.005 damn that's a lot of words, too bad I'm not reading anything you guys wrote.
Congratulations or my condolences, depending on what's applicable
@rod2.005 look at all those wasted words for a slop product that is unironically less successful than ET on the Atari and Battleborn.
Dead game. Dead opinion.
This game just makes me wish Battleborn didn't die within the week it was launched.
Nobody was even thinking about playing this, so you did this for nothing
You didn’t have to play this,it already flooped
600 people wasted 40 bucks
Hyperscape, a Failed BR game back in 2020 by Ubislop lasted longer than Concord, let that sink in
We making it out of the dbd exclusive content channel with this thumbnail 🔥
I'm gonna do it... I'm going to defend Concord's character designs! Well not really defend it since they look ugly as sin, but why is it that (Not)Ramona looks way better (11:20) when drawn like a Scott Pilgrim character? Because O'Malley's art style is unique, interesting and fun, while Concord devs went for BEEG GWAPHICS and completely forgot to define an unique art direction for the game. Now if you want to play the one character that looks fun in the game you're stuck with this weird uncanny alien chick (2:35) that looks like a deformed and ugly human instead of an actual alien, all of those traits accentuated by the fact that the GWAPHICS are VEWWY BEEG and so you can REALLY see how ugly she looks.
So basically, art direction (or complete lack of it anyway) made the designs worse than what they needed to be.
