News Concord 'Didn't Bring Unique Value' to Players, Says Marvel Rivals Director
Ouch
According to Marvel Rivals director Thaddeus Sasser, Concord's problem was that it "didn't bring any unique value" to players, which is a hair harsher than we would put it.

There's no limits to what a pirate gets up to
Like a Dragon: Pirate Yakuza in Hawaii does appear to be diving off at the deep end tonally – or should that be diving off the wooden plank? Nevertheless, it’s the side-content that tends to take the SEGA series in a particularly silly direction, and the latest entry will be no different. In...
