Re: Talking Point: Can PS5, PC Shooter Concord Be Saved?

@WhensDinner @Realist "Push Square really getting mileage out of this game. Probably more than the actual players are."

The game just released, negative or positive why wouldn't they write more about a new PlayStation first party exclusive? If TLOU 3 had been the one released there rightfully would have been twice as many articles as Concord currently has.

"you’re not going to find any of the characters from Concord on PornHub"

Yikes what a disturbing visual with these characters 🀒

But I say just pull the plug and use what you learn to make sure this doesn't happen again. This game couldn't even get as many players as Gollum, this will go down as PlayStation's biggest failure but luckily we got Astro Bot next month!

Re: Things Are Getting Worse for Floundering PS5, PC FPS Concord

@B0udoir " Right now roughly 250 players on Concord. That’s still twice than Suicide Squad, so it’s not yet an epic fail."

Why you keep comparing a game released at the beginning of the year which started with 13,459 players (still awful) and slowly evaporated to nothing to Concord which died within minutes of release?

Yes Suicide Squad is a bomb but nothing has bombed harder than Concord in recent memory (not because of the quality because it looks solid). The game could not get past 697 people playing it and it looks like 200+ of those already refunded 😐

I'm guessing 200+ refunded the game so yeah this is soul crushing for the studio,

@UltimateOtaku91 "they can't make it free to play as they would have to refund all buyers plus there's no MTX for them to make money off even if it was free to play."

If they don't want to throw the towel in just yet then making it f2p is their only available option, no point in adding mtx when there's not many people playing it.

Of course they would have to do refunds so they could potentially lose even more money. I'm with you though I say just call it a loss and move one, use this experience to ensure that the same doesn't happen to Fairgame$ (a name change is a good start 🀞)

Re: Rumour: PS5 Pro Was Allegedly Being Talked About Openly at Gamescom

@LifeGirl "Graphics are meaningless to the average consumer"

But the Pro isn't aimed at the average consumer, they will just buy the cheapest option available (Series S sells way more than X). PS5 Pro is for the hardcore that want that extra power! Is like Samsung & Apple releasing a Ultra and Pro Max version of their phones with bells and whistles.

Re: Poll: Are You Playing Concord?

@rick1987 "Not a pronoun in sight too!"

What!! 😭

So at no point in the game are the following words used in any form... I, me, my, myself, mine, we, us, our, ours, ourselves, you, your, yours, yourself, me, you, him, her, it, us, you, them.

I better not hear any of those words otherwise I might just call you a liar 😌

@Golem25 "Still more than 6-7 times as much as Suicide Squad!"

You're comparing an old game (which bombed) to a game that released today! Suicide Squad's all time peak is 13,459 which was considered a giant failure, I don't think Concord will even come close to that already low number 😐

Still early though, maybe somehow the game trends on social media and it picks up Steam (no pun intended) but as of now it's the worst case scenario.

Re: Poll: Are You Playing Concord?

Tecinthebrain

As of this comment the all-time peak on Steam is 622 players 😬 maybe there will be a giant spike later but if things stand like this it will potentially be the biggest multiplayer flop of the year (or generation)!

In hindsight it was a very bad idea to release it a day after Black Myth: Wukong which is what everyone is focused on right now πŸ˜•

Re: Photorealistic The Sims Rival inZOI Will Eventually Settle on PS5

"I wonder what it says about our society that so many people are looking forward to starting an artificial life over living their actual one?"

It says nothing because there's billions of people living in completely different situations across the world. Some people may be experiencing a terrible home life and may look for something to escape into, better a game than something more permanent.

Re: Photorealistic The Sims Rival inZOI Will Eventually Settle on PS5

Tecinthebrain

No kidding about The sims being stale, it looks like a relic from the past they haven't really updated it in any meaningful way (actually it has gone backwards in many ways!).

On the other hand inZOI looks incredible! I hope we don't have to wait too long. Big props to South Korea who has really been bringing it, they ain't playing games over there (maybe no pun intended).

Re: PS5, PC Hero Shooter Concord Was in Development for 8 Years

Tecinthebrain

@naruball Exactly this! It may look like is just a few negative people from this site bashing the game but all their YouTube videos are in the negatives and that's not counting all the negative videos of people covering the game.

They need to change something whether is your suggestion of adding characters from PlayStation or changing the marketing strategy but if they just try to ride it out like Suicide Squad then Suicide Squad is what they will get.

Re: Reaction: Sony's Billion Dollar Bungie Buyout Is Looking More and More Like a Blunder

Tecinthebrain

@BeerIsAwesome "If Sony overpaid for Bungie, what do you even call the Microsoft buyout of Activision?"

Considering the revenue of a certain Activision property (not even including Candy Crush, WoW) Microsoft will make it's money back easily. Destiny is allot of things but it's certainly not COD!

Also no they didn't overpaid for the other live service studios like Haven and Firewalk, they shouldn't have been bought to begin with! Jim was panic buying and ultimately the developers will suffer the consequences.
