It seems like most people who downloaded it did so just to leave a bad review, lol.

I am not really following numbers on free-to-play hero shooters. Is 90K a bad number, I take it? For a first day?

139 Concords. But damn, those reviews are brutal and the player count is already dropping less than 2 hours after launch.

Generally, yeah. Not great. But considering this had only 1 piece of marketing, and literal radio silence ever since until yesterday? Not that bad.
I would wait until end of day to get a real sense of what's going on though. People are at work.

Seems pretty solid to me, on paper. It's only 1 hour recorded numbers if I read it properly.

Honestly not bad, could hit 100k tonight.
But it has an 18% overwhelming negative reviews, meaning it's likely to drop to three digits in just in a few weeks.

But is it really bad, or are people just dunking on it for the lulz? To keep on shitting on the game just for the fuck of it?
Just curious, not really invested in this whole bruhaha either way.

That's the issue. I think. there's a lot of morbid curiosity around it. I'm not sure there's enough to hold people beyond that. I didn't expect it to be this sparse.

Concord was actually a decent game that needed an open beta to get feedback that could have turned it into a good game lol

People are literally downloading it just to negative review it, just reviews saying 'concord 2' with no actual input. The game is okay, not great, not terrible. Has potential.
Feel like it needs more teammates, or smaller maps. Performance is really bad though, 9800x3d with 5070ti at 1440p and getting 100 max lol

Skimed some reviews, looks like they mainly involve bad gameplay structures and optimization issues.

I think it'll probably go up tonight. But yeah. The reviews means this is going the way of Splitgate 2.

Pretty much. I doubt this will pass 100k now.

Reviews mostly complain about poor performance + that it's only 3v3, doesn't seem like lots of joke/meme reviews. I guess we'll how it holds up.

Y'know, it's a little funny that instead of learning some humility and realizing he'd hyped people for nothing, Jeff instead decided to double down XD

A Fucking Idiot
People who say its got potential or that its good, not great, are forgetting that just good isn't good enough in the competitive market that it is trying to compete in. There is zero chance this is going to pull anyone away from the mainstays for the long-term.

Not even gonna bother trying it. Dorito Pope is an out of touch dunce if it was actually his decision to make this the ONE MORE THING announcement. I still think they paid for it.

Down to 73K already. I think people just jumped in, played a couple matches, and moved on.

I seriously doubt he plays games anymore. Probably hasn't in years, maybe a few hours a month but thats it
Explains perfectly how out of touch he is

For f2p that is not a good number. Seems DOA and will be shut down quickly. So much wasted money.

I mean, the chances of this are really high, especially with all of the negative attention it received.
Again, not surprising. I feel like the only legitimate reviews I've seen were regarding poor performance. Some people crying about the anti-cheat, which I get, but also pretty tiresome at this point, lol.
I think some people did. But I also think people did it just to leave a negative review and leave. Looking at it, it looks like it does have potential, but it's a shame it's getting buried by reviews that don't look too constructive.
I can tell this game isn't for me, but I'm not going to download it and play it just to leave a review and say the equivalent of, "LOL THIS GAME ASS." or something similar.

Wait so the game really is 3v3? I thought people were trolling about that

The poor performance on cards released just a couple years ago(in a damn shooter) and many not liking just 3v3 means player count will likely plummet quickly.
