Streamers are getting payed to promote and lavish the game so naturally their followers will also do it because all sheep follow the herd. Once streamers contract expires they'll move on and everyone will forget this exists.
There are tons of positive comments on different message boards as well, I doubt they're all brainwashed by paid influencers, not to mention that this happens for every game.
The game seems to be perfectly fine and fun for people who have played it.
That this is enough to be a success is a completely different matter.

I fucking hate this attitude (and it's everywhere here) of "I don't like this, so everyone else who does is being paid by the company to like it".

But, it's an actual fact that all streamers are getting paid to play it, quite a lot actually. I'm pretty sure even myself would praise it if I was getting 50k over it.

You can expect good gameplay and graphics from a Sony first-party game. Destruction All-Stars also had those. A game like this needs that little something to stand out from the crowd. Helldivers 2 accomplishes that.

If it's an actual fact and they're being paid quite a lot, post proof.

Lots of streamers are just regular gamers trying out the beta.

Dude, you're the biggest corporate ass defender on here. You know I'm right so there's no need to prove it. They're called sponsorships and twitch partners have that bounty shit, where they get paid tons. https://help.twitch.tv/s/article/bounty-board-program-information-and-faq?language=en_US How can I show you the bounty board if I'm not a partner lmao?
edit: le proof before ppl quote me https://www.neogaf.com/threads/concord-open-beta-starts-july-18.1672355/page-14#post-269376720
Also corect.

So you don't have proof that Sony is paying people to like Concord. Got it.

Did you just confirm you're incredibly naive, to put it nicely, and you believe streamers are not getting paid? Cool. Thought you were smarter than that. Guess we both learned something new Today. Stay in your bubble guy.

So finally Sony is doing an MS?
I dont feel it, plenty of mixed opinions, there not all saying the same thing like its been discussed on a secret discord. Feels like the usual hate brigade for a PS game is around though..

You dont always need proof because it can be so obvious at times. But Concord is not one of those cases though

He said it was an "actual fact" that people were being paid large amounts of money to like Concord. When asked for proof he switched to insults and dodged the question.

So you use the fact that some streamers are getting paid for promoting a game to imply that all positive streams for the game are paid?

You’d get the same average from reading player impressions in this thread, but hey. Do your moldy saturated cuntrag schtick.

A lot of streamers last night had the sponssorship and playstation ad on their steams when they were playing Concord, but

Streamers don't control what ads play on their channels.

No, they had the words Playstation ad on their stream my guy. Look at the videos above.

Finally tried it on PS5. Ngl it feels fucking awful on controller. There are barely any aiming settings, no aiming curve, no aim acceleration, no deadzone settings. How is this acceptable in 2024? You focus on fucking diversity, but doing the bare minimum when it comes to ingame settings, the things that fucking matters. Game feels like you going through mud. Good luck playing againts PC players with this shit controls
Game looks great otherwise and feels polished. If it was f2p and with much better controls/settings, id probably play it more. As of now? No fucking chance.

Missed your post, ofc not. Again, I never said the game was shit. Im only stating facts that the positive early stuff is always coming from big streamers and their followers. It is always the same and then when the average consumer gets into it, you'll see a lot of mixed reactions. Cycle of life, and it shocks me that some of yall still fall for early buzz previews. Never ever rely on youtubers and streamers for game impressions. Play the game, if you like it cool.

Almost everybody here has been talking about their own experience with the beta though, which happen to align with a lot of streamers and their followings.
It's you that claims it's all because Sony paid for the positive reactions.

My post that started the above discussion was about streamers tho.

Dude they disclose that they’re sponsored streams. Lirik isn’t getting out of bed if they’re not sending over 30k. It’s not even a question.

What the streamers are saying seem to be lining up with what everybody has been saying in here.

You're going to have to excuse me for not trusting people who pre-order a 5v5 game in 2024. We can talk more weeks after its release.

The PS5 beta is open to anyone with PS+, not just pre-orders.

Fair, I had PC in my head.
KyoZz
Tag, you're it.
Why are you quoting me? You want to add another layer of stupidity with a comment?I'm actually fine with the €40 I've spent for the pre-order, if only for the fact that me pre-ordering the game really pissed offKyoZz for some reason.
But now that I've played the beta, I think I can get my money's worth out of the game, whether it'll be a success or not.
Then again, I can see why some people feel like it should be f2p. Maybe it should be.
I've said what I wanted to say and that's it. You are free to spend your money however you want man, even if it's in a bad game.

Streamers occasionally get paid to stream games. It's part of the business model for twitch. It's not unique to concord.

It's actually a good point. Alot of ps5 Players may face challenges as more PC players join the game due to forced crossplay. This could potentially lead to a decline in the number of PS5 players who currently enjoy the game.

Sponsored are officially paid and everyone knows what it is. Theres shills out there getting paid, no official sponsorship and doing dirty work.
I wouldnt class them as the same thing

As I told you before, I didn't think about it anymore. It's been a few days already and I don't give a shit about this game...Just wanted to let you know there is nothing for you to worry about anymore.

So again, why am I here if not to give my validation that seems important for you.
Grow up dude, enjoy your game and that's it.

Oh come on, we both know why you did this but again: I don't give a shit. Sorry if I was in your mind those last few days but... it's on you. My interest is with Spider-Man 2 right now (so far so good).You mad about me thanking you?
So yeah: grow up.

I... don't really know aside from ugly MJ. But what's the point anyway? Oh wait, you think my problem with Concord is because it is woke?
That is the least of my concern (despite ugly as fuck chara design). I watched Manabyte gameplay for a bit yesterday and OMG, Concord is just everything I hate in gaming.

I don't doubt that corporations pay streamers and such and I'm sure it happens for every game but why are you going out of your way to prove this for Concord? Also may I'm just not seeing it but where exactly are these streamers saying they are sponsored? Those are some long videos and I don't see it?
Ads are not a confirmation because they can't control to content of ads.
They can accept bounties but did they disclose that? That is 100% required if they accept money from a corporation.

So that was your issue, huh?
Almost half the people streaming the game when the BETA launched had "#ad" in their title and "Playstation AD" on the stream to specify it's a sponsored stream.
KyoZz

On the GAMEPLAY side. I've already made an incomplete list earlier in this thread.

Funny enough, gameplay is what almost everybody playing the beta seems to like.
But even then, you're just mad that people buy/pre-order a game you hate.
