What's funny is that the Woke crowd has felt exactly like how you are feeling rn.
Basically, you and your circle of friends have become part of the Woke and Cancel culture.
Quite ironic.

Is it true that TTK is hella long here?

Those woke people at the studios dont add anything meaningful to the game while driving the budget up like crazy. So if the "woke" part isn't forced and don't cost the non woke community more money through worse monetization than they can do the fuck whatever they want.

I thought so at first, but it's actually not so bad.
You're probably not going to win a 1v5 though, or 1v3.

During a period in which we witness the numbers Helldivers 2 and TLD do, this really is a clear message to the developer sent by the audiences. They'll probably learn at some point that a PC audience is something else entirely than a console audience as well. Not so many free hooray zombies readily available to promote your product no matter how shitty it is.

But Sony's primary focus is Playstation, not PC.

Yep along with the shitty agenda driven devs and the accompanying "consultancy" companies.

Sony got lucky they got the Hoyoverse triplets. Those are gonna help a lot to minimize the bleeding occuring by trashcans gaas like Concords and Destruction
Now they need to be very careful on what gaas games to invest in the future. Even if we haven't see anything about Factions 2 but I can bet this would have been miles away superior than this.

Try to fit 1000 people in your car, and you'll realize it's a pretty big number.

The rot is too deep within Sony at this point, even their single player games are infested with it, the last person within Sony who pushed back on the woke stuff was the Days Gone director, and they got rid of him and cancelled the sequel pretty quick.
I'm still waiting to find out if the only white person in the roster turns out to be the villain or not, I'd love to be wrong but it's all so fucking predictable.

Cancelation involves online bullying and doxxing, which is galaxies away from not buying a product for whatever reasons.

Your responses are still as stupid as ever I see. Complete nonsense and false equivalencies as always. Did any game devs speak out against black people, say that they didn't want black characters or that their games weren't being made for black people? No! Did any studios proudly announce that they would refuse to hire Black people? No! No studio has called for racist and unconstitutional actions against black people but plenty have done so against white people.
Also you don't even know what cancel culture is. Cancel culture is when you try to destroy an individual's life because they don't agree with you. You try to get them fired, you harass them constantly on social media or even at their home or place of business. It's the behavior of evil degenerates. Am I gonna do that? Did I say I was gonna do any of that, did I call for others to do that? No! All I did was exercise my freedom of choice and state that I wouldn't be spending any of my time playing this game and that people around me have expressed similar sentiments.
So if you're going to reply with such factually incorrect nonsense, maybe you should just stfu instead.

Yep, they are just as pathetic and moany as the woke side.
Cancel culture and cheering on for something to fail because they dont like the look of it is grade A loser shit

God damn gamers are the absolute worst. Just babies throwing tantrums fucking literally. Play the game or fuck off and play something else.

Personally I don't think it had enough of a strong showing to even warrant any preorders. Screw that. Can't imagine they had a lot of people doing which might have led to them adding people on PS+ to play before the open beta.
All I know for sure is that I also wouldn't spend 40 bucks on it from just watching various clips of gameplay. "It's just ok" isn't nearly enough of what they need to not go the F2P route. Still going to root for them only because it sucks seeing any game doing poorly with studio closures still a threat.

You even get as triggered as the Woke crowd.
Quite sad that you don't even see that people like you are acting exactly like them. Down to the hostility.

I take it not to many people want to give it a go with a robot that has pronouns? Looks like another Redfall debacle……..DOA.

Right now it still is. Why do you think everyone's gradually shifting to PC as a new source of revenue? That trend is going to continue, if not introduce a change in primary target platforms in the future. GenZ and younger want nothing to do with consoles.

I doubt sony will refund the people when they shut it down in a year.
dreamstation

What you won't play it enough in the year? Why do people think games should last forever? People pay 70 bucks for a 10 hour single player game but balk at paying 40 for a multiplayer game that they might get 20-30 hours at least out of it? Games are disposable, treat them as such.

Yes when iam in the mood for a new round of that sp game I can do so in 10 years while the money I spend on the mp games vanished completely.
Iam glady buying sp fullprice games but mp games have to be f2p.
It has alot of shortcomings but for me the biggest is actually asking an upfront money for what they offer.

You're a clown. Even CS has had multiple iterations in the last decade. You can't expect every game to be running indefinitely.
Fabieter
Member
Cs is f2p and you could take everything with you. It's basically just a tech overhaul.
Charging 40 to 60 bucks for stuff like concord is a rip off.

A game that seemingly plays well, runs well and looks well? Yeah, how bad.
What Keiichiro Toyama went on to make after he departed the Japan Studio (Slitterhead) doesn't do any of those three. Just think about it.

Funny that I actually paid for CSS and CSGO. Also why is Concord a rip-off?

Or SOCOMThis is the shit we get instead of a proper gritty shooter like Killzone, thanks Soyny.
People will vote with their wallets, this will be a swing and a miss
Just amazing really this was green lit to begin with

I try not to discuss this with friends and simply don't play games I think are dumb.
But I disagree that the "woke crowd" felt exactly the same way disenfranchised people feel now.
There are very big differences that I will refrain from discussing here.

They need extra revenue to fund AAA gaming.
MS did what you say imply is the future and Xbox is dying.
Perrott

I don't know, but people like him that now are declaring an unreleased game to be a rip-off because in their heads they won't imagine it lasting for over a year (in spite of its closed beta being well-liked for the most part) are largely the same individuals that six months ago were bitching about Sony shelving The Last Of Us Online over concerns of Naughty Dog's ability to support the game post-release over a long period of time and arguing that not all live-service titles should last forever.
If Sony ever announces a serious and gritty Killzone reboot, you can bet that this same "fanbase" will complain about how military shooters are generic, old-fashioned and lament that Guerrilla has regressed from being the Horizon studio back to their mid 2000s self.
You can never win with these people.

And you can see the amount of money that was burned on this game too. Like it looks great, the mocap and animations looks great, but thats about it. It will do so badly on pc and maybe only slightly better on ps. PS extra game within 6 months

Couldn't agree more as its only chance at survival is being given away and hope people care enough to buy skins
If some are enjoying their time in it thats great for them, like a little over 200 people playing it in Steam and 500 viewers on Twitch
But people saying its a closed beta thats why numbers are low is kind of funny
If this game looked great and the majority of people thought it was going to be a banger then preorders would have been much higher
People are voting with their wallets and it shows

There was like 20k earlier today. Times of day and whoever is streaming you know

It should have been free to play from the start and good marketing
Unless it's established ip or has big marketing GAAS that are not F2P don't do well

Oh there is more context to that. Remember the thread "Pics of game developer studios in the past" ?
See on the one side, nothing is forced. No consulting groups. They just make the games and characters that they naturally want to make. The modern approach is much different. It requires checklists and a certain third party tone.

You are right it depends on who streams because the big streamers their audience will watch them stream literally anything because once those streamers quit playing that game those people didn't look for other streamers playing it
I don't buy the time of day thing though when like 2000 other games had more viewers, its all about who streams it

Then again, imagine being unable to enjoy a game because some characters is a black gay female who uses pronouns.
There's a lot that can be said about the Woke vibe of Concord, but at some point you have to grow up and look past that.
It gets even worse because there already is a lot of backlash irt Sony investing more into guys.
Concord is basically a lot of spoiled gamers worst nightmare and the childish rants are becoming pathetic, tbh.

except the entire point of DEI is that a black gay female cant enjoy the game unless they are represented in the game as a character and are unable to grow up and look past that.
so...
