I can still remember being 13 and my dream was to play a FPS as a grandma or bee keeper.

Yeah, almost feels like yesterday that my parents asked me what I wanted to be when I grew up and I said "they/them".

 

[Shubh_C63]

Yeah excuse the name the closed beta client was used for an open beta later on where it hit its high.

So yeah it happens when betas make a good Impression... shame Darktide flopped soon after.

Man I can't wait to see concord numbers...

It IS a shame.
Darktide still have one of the best gameplay and soundtrack out there.

 

[ViciousAgenda]

Imagination Land, of course.

Probably the subreddit. It's the most amazing game ever there where people even stay up all night thinking about it.

That's actually higher than you'd expect if you go by the average comment on the game. Lol

Concord Review

Concord's core gameplay is excellent, but it suffers from lackluster character designs and general disinterest from the PlayStation community.

gamerant.com

3.5/5

 

[winjer]

Considering that Gamerant and Screenrant are both owned by Valnet, I was expecting a higher score from them.

Seems generous.

 

[clarky]

Pretty much what i was thinking 5/10 ish from what i played. Its just average at best and does nothing to stand out from the crowd.

Ill be giving it a crack next week at some point. As a PVP guy i do like to play most of them.

Less than an hour to the launch of Sony Playstation's latest AAA epic first party exclusive blockbuster: CONCORD

Concord™

[winjer]

Even on the Playstation store, sorting by best selling, Concord only shows up on the third page. Next to older games.
For comparison, Star Wars Outlaws is on the first page already.

Less than 2 hours you mean? Clicking on that says 1 hour 35 min remaining. Unless I'm missing something.

 

[Little Chicken]

Needs a review thread!

 

[Dorfdad]

Game 100% needed to be F2P which will come im sure in 3 months once they realize the games dead. Even than you will not see it take massive numbers to sustain it past the 3 seasons of content. They will MicroTransaction the hell out of it, and people will bitch about that.

I do agree the concept is fine even if it's a clone of others, the lack of character styles I've seen seems very mediocre coming from a first party studio.

I went to check the early Steam reviews and noticed that the Steam users added these tags (isn't needed to own the game to add tags):

The bolded is my biggest gripe.

How do you make a hero arena shooter with heroes that all look mostly generic and shit? It's like they missed the point completely of the genre.

The characters wouldn't even be as bad if they were NPCs in a single player or MP co-op FPS campaign. I feel like that's what Concord should have been. They should have made it into a mission-based 4-player co-op purely PvE FPS with an interesting campaign and a tacked on MP mode.

 

[Katatonic]

Off from work today, long weekend with Concord and Wukong.

 

[FunkMiller]

It IS a shame.
Darktide still have one of the best gameplay and soundtrack out there.

Unfortunately Darktide failed utterly to create a compelling narrative which is the main thing 40k fans were looking for. Pretty visuals couldn't sustain it.

[RagnarokIV]

Fucking stupid bastard bullshit twat game

 

[FunkMiller]

With just 45 minutes to launch, let's check the game's progress on the global top sellers list:

Two places above Borderlands 2.

 

[SpokkX]

Never said it was did I? It obviously a failure for a Halo game in terms of player retention but it's just not at the level of Concord. Hell, the player drop off of Helldivers 2 is just as extreme as Halo yet nobody here thinks that's a failure.

Helldivers still has 20k-40k peak concurrent players every day.

Without any major update such as a new faction etc

It is a giant hit. No doubt

Concord on the other hand. If it EVER breaks 10k ccu i will be shocked

 

[winjer]

I went to check the early Steam reviews and noticed that the Steam users added these tags (isn't needed to own the game to add tags):

Users can add tags to Steam games. And the more people add the same tag, it will show up on that list.
These are the top user tags for Concord.

 

[Dr. Kitty Muffins]

I wish there was some way they could update the game at a later point and alter the character designs some.

 

[ThisIsMyDog]

lol

 

[Ogbert]

lol

 

[ThisIsMyDog]

It's growing! 186 now—will it reach 500? Probably not, but 300 is within reach. What a great day for Sony!

 

[Robb]

lol

 

[BigBeauford]

I could see this hitting 1500 by the time peak hours hit.

 

[MiguelItUp]

I wonder what the numbers are on console more than anything. It's clear how the PC market feels about it.

 

[AtomicStarving]

Holy shit. Looks like more layoffs are coming...

 

[SidViscous]

There's no preload so give it time, I'm guessing 3k peak

 

[SpokkX]

https://steamdb.info/app/2443720/

329 players right now..

When was it released?

 

[lmimmfn]

Just jumping in here, so how's it going? Huge success?

 

[clarky]

Massive and growing.

 

[Killjoy-NL]

Currently 329 in-game on Steam, 30 min since launch. Lol

Game is running smoothly on PS5 though.

Considering that Gamerant and Screenrant are both owned by Valnet, I was expecting a higher score from them.

they give bonus points for wokeness and still cant give high score to concord, looks like metacritic gonna be around 50-60 only ;D

 

[Z O N E]

I don't see anyone on my friends list playing this game...

U need more concord devs in ur friends list bro, there are few sus gaf accounts, pm those ;P

What is happening?

I think this is worst preformance of some Sony game, and i think they know that this live service shit aint sellin!!!
Time to go back and invest in proper SP games

You learn Sony, time to change some stuff on Monday meeting in 10am or so...

 

[SkylineRKR]

Honestly you need to be in full retard mode if you buy this game now. These online GaaS shit games need to be frontloaded in order to sustain. This pathetic amount of players will ensure the game is dead within the month and Sony pulling the plug within the year leaving a coaster.

Any money towards this is wasted, because Concord never took off. And rightfully so. Fuck this game and fuck this studio.

We can only hope, bro, sony is sitting on a mountain of unused IPs, and they could always make new IP game too =D

 

[Mownoc]

Wow! I wonder if it will get as high as 1m with it's peak today! No wait I mean 1k.

 

[SkylineRKR]

And with this peak, how many of those would be developers and shills?

lol, no one bought it.

 

[pasterpl]

8 years and millions of dollars well spent

 

[Mownoc]

Wait. I don't think the game had preload on steam. There's probably millions downloading right now!

 

[BigBeauford]

Concord discord starting to melt down.

 

[P:axMagellanic]

lol

Yes. Downloading Black Myth: Wukong.
