I don’t think they will delay it since delaying did nothing for Suicide Squad and they won’t risk the PR hit of going back on the whole « modern » character designs.
But it’s a possibility.

I don't see how this is clickbait. Article title is accurate. I posted the images showing how many wishlisted the game.

So you are saying that console gamers enjoy shittier games than PC gamers?

Less than you think, the media is gonna gave bonus points for diversity and shit, no way this thing score less than 75 mc, 70 at worse.

Delaying is pointless. The only way to salvage this is by adding so much cool new stuff that makes it a completely different game. However, that's a huge gamble and takes 2-3 years so it's not realistic at all.
To let it go seems the safest route.

Oh, I wasn't referring to review scores, but the review thread on Gaf. Hellblade 2 and Starfield's review threads were a ride, hoping for similar entertainment lmao

"The professor" is probably doing a class about how to deal with the seven stages of failure.

Not you, Insider Gaming, why is this an insider type of story? they used to post stories on leaks not this useless garbage. This is IGN levels of reporting.

You seem to be blocking people left and right.
Exactly how I picture the Professor at work.

Nope. Returnal and Deathloop were SP games so the SP gamer didn't feel the need to beat dead horses there.
The darkness of man has emerged with Concrd. The pummeling must continue to satiate his desire for things to be as they once were. Only it won't work because progress can't be stopped.
When I'm a free-gunner, I have a chance to be someone.

More likely the former. Remember, he spent ludicrous amounts of time and effort not just running defense for Concord, but also making OPs to promote it in the best light possible. In his perspective, he has already put too much investment into the game that admitting failure will make him look silly (I mean, he was already looking silly from the very beginning). The sunken cost fallacy doesn't just apply to money spent...

Good. I hope this game crashes and burns so that Sony stops wasting money and resources on this junk.

They report general gaming news as well. This story actually originated at thegamer.com and insider posted this crediting that site.

It seems the use of the words is nearly always related to some some personal inferiority complex, too. It can't be because the game just isn't great. It has to be because of the shills from the other side. Strawman stock has never been higher.Just realizing that the words "shill" and "fanboy" now mean the exact same thing in the video gaming world.

Cool, but I’m waiting for Sony’s “we have Delta Force at home, with fat ugly queer BIPOCs” sometime around 2030 timeframe.

For me personally is because of DEI and pronouns. I am already being pushed at work to attend DEI seminars and have pronouns in my profile. I don't want something like this also where I spend my money. If Sony is happy to push for this, I am happy for them too. They can have all their DEI and pronouns champions to buy and save the game. There are plenty that can save the game and Sony investment.

I've seen several threads on this subject, and while I think it's funny, does the game deserve this many threads?
The answer is "no."
EDIT: Looking at the first page, there are four total threads about this game. That's four too many.

Over/Under the number of outlets that will insinuate that you're a bigot if you don't buy the game?

I know I've said it before, but whatever the other "issues" are that some people have with the game are the least of its worries. While the game "feels" solid, the gameplay, its art, design, characters, and more are just so lackluster. It's a shame to see how much they've put into this only to see it not getting that much attention.
If it's booming on PS5, hey, good for them! But I really don't see it. I think a lot of people were disappointed when they found out Concord was just another hero shooter. One that just feels pretty forced and lifeless as well. Add in the other stuff that various people aren't happy about, and it's not going to look good.
Still interested in seeing how this pans out. I can't believe it comes out so soon, and for $40...

I shouldn't have to ignore a game that doesn't deserve one thread, much less four.

“Modern audiences” sure aren’t buying any of these games supposedly made for them (saw this on Reddit)
I understand the gameplay is pretty good, but it’s a hero shooter, if the hero’s are lame and uninteresting and not appealing to players, why play this vs another hero shooter?
Redesign all the characters with a good character designer. The modelling and animation is great. Redo all the voices and writing.
That might give it a chance but it’s a hell of a lot of work for what will quite possibly still fail.
Edit: turning it into a tax write off might not be a bad idea. Kill it, never release it, mark it as a loss to offset a couple hundred million tax. Keep the studio, sack those who need to be, and make something new that people actually want.
