Concord just died.
Rest in piece king.

Forgive us console bros

I liked Valorant but I hated how it just became a race to Sniper rifles. Not sure if they ever fixed that but last time my cousin checked it was still the same. Console might be better since I noticed sniper characters aren't as bad in Overwatch as it is on PC.

 

[Barakov]

Overwatch killer?

Eh...kinda. It plays more like Counter-Strike with hero abilities.

I wonder how this'll play with a controller though. The PC version much like CS seems very much a keyboard and mouse game.

 

[lughnasadh123]

Overwatch killer?

Didn't with OW1 so I guess it gets a second chance with OW2.

My energy towards this(the first 2:05 sums up my feelings)

Idk I feel like Concord is where the causals might go to if Valorant is full of sweatys.

Rainbow Six Siege gets hard to get into again when I take monthly breaks. My COD friends won’t even touch the game. Then again this is assuming Concord is more causal, and I never played Valorant.

 

[SidViscous]

don’t forget the Marvel game too.

concord devs need to tone down the pronouns and rip out half that roster unless they want to be doa

Yeah I don't know anything about this game other than what OP quoted but it does sound pretty sweaty, Concord looks to be going for a more mass market vibe.

 

[Sp3eD]

Excited to try this. Fuck off ximmers. Riot, you have one shot at this off the starting line.

Do weapon spawn on the map like in Halo? Or are there the usual loadouts or unique characters with unique weapons?

If i remember correctly you get money throughout the match (kills I think) and then eventually you can afford to buy stronger weapons. The Sniper being one of them.

Oh so it's sort of like Counter Strike.
Not really my thing, but thx.

 

[Mr.ODST]

Interesting to see consoles getting a counter-strike round based shooter..

Luckily its come out just to destroy that woke shit concord

 

[gooner4life_uk]

Sony were sat there with a poker face pretending to care that Microsoft were buying Acti Bliz, when all along they knew COD was dead because Valorant was coming to console.

 

[gooner4life_uk]

It's got TDM and other respawn modes as well, it's just comp that's strictly 5v5 round based with economy.

 

[Werewolf Jones]

Whole fanbase is gonna be gone within weeks. CoD goons finna be wiped.

I’m in. Game is great but the spyware shit sucks. So playing this on PS5 avoids all that.

Call of Duty has that game mode with search and destroy.
Fuck Concord though.

Has anyone other than Men_in_Boxes even preordered Concord?

I will if I enjoy the beta

Dunno what the point of hating on this game is and using every other GaaS title in existence to throw shade

Yeah, way too hardcore for casual console gamers. Games like Valorant and Counter Strike are all about reaction time and that really requires mouse and Keyboard. I do wonder if their will be cross play. The PC userbase will be pissed if Valve makes controller viable with controller-assist aim

Some folks still don't remember Counter Strike came out on the original XBox.

Concord ain't sweating a thing.

What the hell is VALORANT? Oh god I’m supposed to know what a valorant is now

 

[delirium trigger]

Not a controller game. I bet it plays different on console.

for people saying this, how is this any different to a rainbow six siege that also isn’t really meant for console?

 

[Killjoy-NL]

My son played this a lot on PC and it looked rather fun.

Will bite if it's €40.

Why anyone would play this on console is beyond me, game can run on toasters.

I changed my mind then, I'll bite if it's f2p.

It's f2p but on PC you have to use riot launcher to install the game and it also installs an anti-cheat called vanguard, which has access to your PC kernel (which is why some people hate it).

For this type of game mouse and keyboard is a must have imo. It's basically counter-strike mixed with overwatch sorta.

 

[Goalus]

That's great, but I'd prefer to have Concord on Xbox. These pronouns are charming the pants off me.

For a video game forum, it sure is filled with a lot of video game hating people.

[Luipadre]

What valorant has to do with concord? Yes they both have heroes, but completeley different games. One game will play good on controller while the other one isnt
