While initial Steam numbers did not look great for the open Concord Beta this weekend, the end result is even worse than anticipated.

    Concord…?

    But also:

    Even if it’s a competent hero shooter is it also… another hero shooter in a crowded market

    This should have read “it is also…”

    the first underewater downvoted trailer

    Dude, get a proofreader ffs.

    Maybe they could try something new instead of just rehashing the battle Royale/hero thing. It’s been fuckin’ years of the same shit. They copy this and that from the first big hit and just ignore any and all novelty that would make them actually stand out.

    How do I even test the game if it won’t work on any of my Linux machines? Anyway, after reading this, I am fully ready to forget it ever existed.

    Oh boy, did Sony release a new banger that’s the same game repackaged for the thousandth time?!

    I am so excited, I definitely don’t have Sony blocked on steam along with all their in-house production companies. Nuh-uh, I would never block all these awesome companies for altering deals weeks post-sale.

    No siree, I would never navigate to their steam pages and gleefully click the block producer button ever. Not even once, as a joke.

    I fully blame advertising on this one, I have only heard of the game once or twice, and all of those were in comments complaining about the state of Sony which is never a good thing for a game. I have never seen any promotionals for this game and I’ve never seen any type of outline of what this game even is being as they are mentioning it’s normally a free to play I’m assuming it’s some sort of MMO or team-based game like Overwatch, I didn’t even know it was doing open Beta over the weekend till now

    edit: reread the article, I just didn’t notice it the first time yeah it seems it’s your typical game like OverWatch

    It’s impossible to predict which new multiplayer games will be successful and which ones won’t. It’s so risky for developers to even try making them nowadays. Even games that seem successful at first (like The Finals and XDefiant) struggle to maintain much interest over time.

    Anyways, I like Overwatch but I’ve gotten bored with it over the past few years, so I’m potentially interested in Concord. I’ll keep an eye on it. (I was aware that there was a beta, but I thought it was pre-order only so I didn’t check it out)

      It’s impossible to predict success, but it’s pretty easy to predict failure. Copycat games don’t work.
