Support NeoGAF

[paolo11]

that's is going to happen to firewalk

Firewalk is most likely done sad to say. I don’t know who in the right mind made a decision to make this game so ugly. I thought they were trolling us or something. They should made it an Indie game free to play instead . Heck, people might play it for a bit

 

[Topher]

LOL

Hilarious when these jackasses get up on their soap box and use twitter as a megaphone while sticking their fingers in their ears.

 

[paolo11]

What the fuck does this even mean?

They didn't even support their own game ... it's attacking itself in confusion!

TLOU2 was super woke but it was a very good game (well controversial but gameplay is really good even the story IMO).

Concord is a very bad game. Add woke on it as toppings and expect your game to fail

TLOU2 was super woke

Reality is kicking in faster and faster... normal people are fed up with their bullshit... purple foruns will be the last bastion for this people... entertainment is about money and they dont know how to make any. Let them keep in their bubble hating the world and playing the forever victim card.

Lots of commercial failures with a running theme...

IDK it's starting to feel like maybe the demographic least likely to play video games isn't the one you should be centering your characters around. Just a thought

Watch this space...

Yeah I’ve definitely noticed that Black women are all of a sudden WAY over represented in games now. They’re only around 6% of the U.S. population. It’s so odd.

How come these people are so soft? If they want to blame this “right wing” gamers on X, take the heat too.

Forever vilified by these people, I swear. It's the same thing every time.

We are always the ones in the wrong somehow.

In Canada, the entire Black population is about 4% or 4.5% in the entire country.

When it's TV ad time, no doubt about 1/3rd of all actors in TV ads are suddenly Black the past 3-4 years. There's way more Asian people in Canada (Indian or Chinese etc....), yet somehow there's still way fewer on TV than Black population.

I’d rather be taking the blame than having a bad game supported by millions.

It’s so odd only Rebirth and Wukong are the top games this year. And we got two failures at the same time (Concord and what’s this game uhh Dustborn?)

 

[KURDISTAN YPG]

Good news

 

[Hero of Spielberg]

I honestly don't know anymore. With the shit that devs are producing and saying as well as those 'on the right side of history' it's just too hard to tell.

Did the Professor land on their feet ? Does anyone know ? Is the guiding light still shining ?
I hope the Professor is okay never mind the rest of the studio.

I've seen chinese comments on Wukong videos and Weibo about players buying monke game because of the 7 million dollar consultancy rumor: 'they refused to be consulted by Sweet Baby Inc so i bought the game'.Even the freaking Chinese are aware of Sweet Baby Inc and DEI,

Saying that the' anti-woke' didn't play a part in this game flopping is journalists simply refusing to leave the bubble.

Yeah that is true. I pray this is the last trash game moving forward .

I see the “bigots killed concord” narrative is beginning. Just as it did with The Acolyte. I suspect we’ll begin seeing mainstream gaming “press” push that narrative as well soon.

It’s all they know how to do. Heaven forbid they do a little introspection and take accountability for their own failures. No, just easier to blame the “alt right” bogeyman.

Exactly. And if you point that out, you get people attacking you for being a bigot. It’s like WTF wasn’t the original goal to reflect the actual population accurately? Honestly in the U.S. it’s the Latino population severely underrepresented yet I never hear them complaining. But make like 1/3 of the actors/characters Black despite only being 12% of the population and it’s still not enough.

Kinda funny seeing members of the gaming media lining up to defend Concord while simultaneously trying to push "exclusivity" controversies on Black Myth Wukong.

Nothing suspect about that at all.

One things for sure. I dont think the typical Asian (whether it's middle eastern, Indian or east asian countries) gives a shit about DEI or woke. When it comes to a product, they just care about it being as non-political as possible and want good value for your dollar.

I'm not latino and not American either, but when it comes to media I dont get how or why latinos are so underrepresented in media. Numerically, they are the biggest minority population in the US, but come TV shows, US tv ads, gaming characters etc.... it's like they practically dont exist.

 

[Chechack]

That's what most people think the game plays like, but it's not. If only it were point gun, pull trigger, it would have been more appealing to the people that are used to that style of play.

You actually have to cycle through different team members, gain their perks, and make sure the teamplay is pretty balanced between the various classes. It's a little convoluted with the asynchronous gameplay and most never even grasped it even in the beta.

If you're going into it as someone that just wants to shoot things and have fun, you're going to get destroyed by a team that actually uses the compliment of gameplay systems on offer.

Man just shut up bloody annoying

 

[sainraja]

Some gamers can be pretty immature and some of that we can be see in this thread; however, the market Concord wanted to enter and compete in, was already filled with two successful games (perhaps there is another I am not aware of) and they wanted to be the third. Ignoring similar games, there are many other GaaS like games that they also had to compete with. It was going to be hard no matter what they did, but offering something unique was a must. They missed there.

Couldn’t agree more. I’m glad GTA 6 made the female character Latino.

 

[SirKicksalot]

I checked the Ree thread and someone is arguing that this is a better skin than the COD cat skin



I'm in fucking tears laughing at the COD skin.
Concord skins look like The Sad European

McDonald's asked people to design their own burgers, and it backfired spectacularly

McDonald's today admitted it had bitten off more than it could chew and took down a "build your own burger" creator after it backfired.

[paolo11]

I think someone has to drop a thread in resetera with the title "why resetera members didnt support concord?" ...

how many members they have ?? With their members alone the ccu would be much greater... how they can rally to cancel hogwards and not to buy and support concord ??? This people are so strange in their way of connecting what they do to what they say.

In fact ill bet everything I have that more purple people overthere bought Hogwards in secrecy than concord.

The crazies are so hypocrites is not even funny anymore.

for sure if someone says woke or DEI they will get banned

 

[adamsapple]

I feel bad at how much this made me laugh.

Investors already know by now that woke is toxic and the sooner the companies back out of wokeness the better

Ubisoft seem determined to learn this the hard way but they'll come around too when they have choose between woke and not broke

[Z O N E]

Even if they go F2P, it'll flop and that's because of the name.

The name is associated with a game that shut down in under 3 weeks, no way they keep that same name.

They'd have to rebrand and change the characters too.

UBI stock has dropped from 95 euro to 15.50 since 2018. And look how far they've dropped since covid years when lots of tech stocks went up and retained all or most of it. They went from 85 euro to 15.50.

If this hasnt taught them anything, nothing will.

Zero self awareness while talking about self-deception and delusion. Amazing.

I wonder what lesson Ubisoft would take from a disappointing launch for AC Shadows after AC Valhalla was the biggest AC game ever (last AC game with the large open world formula).

I saw Inside Out 2 yesterday and while it had a good message for teenagers, it was a pretty mid film as a whole. The thing that jumped out is that the main girl is at Hockey camp and all the other players are minorities. One had a hijab on. That's fine, it is what it is, but it's freaking HOCKEY. It's just so dumb how artificial and forced DEI is. Even my gay brother who pays 5 figures a year to be a Disney Vacation Club member notices it and complains about it. It's all just done in bad taste and is distracting. All these DEI things can be accomplished with good stories and characters.

Burger King Kids Club for instance.

Just picked up a physical copy. It's going to be like having a sealed copy of ET.
Now to find the controller

Game wasn't perfect but the controller was pretty nice.

I'll be getting a dedicated PS5 controller for COD6. I like the look of the Concord controller, but it will be put away with the physical copy for collecting

In the nhl only player I know whose Indian is manny maholtra. There might be more but probably hardly any. There’s hardly any minorities for various reasons from legacy to costs to location to access to rinks to availability of skates and hockey gear at stores.

Globally right off the bat it’s going to skew to colder countries which skew white since these are countries that will have outdoor skating and the most indoor rinks. Canada only has 40M people but has the most rinks in the world by a mile.

Anyone or any media trying to DEI it is insane.

 

[sainraja]

Short memories

Arkane was also a very large team that worked on Redfall for a very long time.

Concord was not a large team until recently, it’s a start up studio. They started small for a long time until they got funding seeds going and finally a publisher

So the difference is one studio slowly grew while the other was already large and in the payroll for many years

And it killed Arkane, a studio cherished for their immersive sim single player games

Redfall was the E3 mic drop closer announcement for crying out loud

What’s the greater loss here?

It really does not matter. If you can successfully argue that Concord wasn't a greater loss over Redfall and have people here believe you, it's not much of a prize. Sony's pulled the plug and the game does not have a clear future. Redfall still has 10 players active on it right now (as of this post, anyway).

EDIT: Perhaps active player count right now doesn't help make my point here, but I think you know what I am getting at.

Cuz its checks 2 boxes, its a female and a minority representation. Reason you barelly see any black dudes cuz they are still males. It just shows how all these studios follow the same DEI script and why they games are so devoid of creativity.

Bright side it didint have launch day server issues. The servers handled wel the influx on players
