I watched the Secret Level ep on that the other day. Me and my buddies were like, "Wow what a cool universe we should play that game!"

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jmArJ8kt5TI Yeah if that scene represented the game it would have been a cool game

Such a comprehensive example of poor decision making at so many levels. From the decision to charge for a PvP hero shooter in a saturated market of free PvP hero shooters, to spending what appeared to be tens of millions on marketing, PR, and CGI cut scenes, to the worst character designs in living memory. It’s clear they did zero focus group testing on those characters, or if they did, they ignored all feedback. As is so common now, everyone involved in the fiasco is going to be integrated into future projects and destroy them too. They’ll learn nothing and keep doing it.

"Am I so out of touch? No, it's the kids who are wrong."

Where has the marketing budget gone into? Because I literally never heard of this game until a Penguinz0 on Youtube made a video about it

Uh that is brutal. Not even a thousand players.

That's me too - never heard about it until I started seeing news about how it failed

Where *had* the marketing budget gone, the game was shut down like a week after launch There was a big run-up in the prior months

They should've just made that into a movie, id watch a fun sci-fi heist film

One of the games ever made.

That may have been the best episode of the series, the disappointment on finding out it was concord was immense.

And people still buy it from auctions

The character design was derivative but they weren't awful, come on now. Absolutely true about the rest

I struggle to think of worse examples in the AAA space. The colours weren’t just badly complemented, but *intentionally* violated colour theory. None of the characters were attractive. One was morbidly obese. Almost all of them were gender non-conforming. And the biggest sin of all: none of them were cool. They were *all* lame as shit. You must know all of this if you’ve been following the story and criticism. It’s fine to disagree and in many instances there is room for subjectivity, but this was one of those rare examples where we can all come together to objectively declare these characters a train wreck.

Gonna post again in a week "today concord was cancelled"? Lol

> None of the characters were attractive. One was morbidly obese. Almost all of them were gender non-conforming Some real capital **G**-amer takes here. Come everyone, let's join hands and "objectively" agree to hate minority bodies.

Yeah I’m with you like this take always gets weirder to me. I’m a straight man. I love hot girls (or if you want me to get pedantic girls that I find attractive) I don’t have a requirement that I must want to fuck a majority of the women presented in each video game. It’s also okay for people that aren’t like me to be in video games. Even for, gasp, the entirety of the cast to be people not like me. It’s the one thing with those conservative media grift circles that gets me. If they truly had their way and every piece of media conformed to their “standards” it would be an absolutely boring fucking world where all media would just be sterile versions of the same turds pumped out. There’s be no new perspectives. No differing thoughts or challenging themes. Concord sucked and had a lot of problems. The characters not being conventionally attractive and “gender non-conforming” weren’t problems.

You think we have to be attracted to gender non-conforming people in order to be accepting? What kind chronically online take is that? People are allowed to find others unattractive. In your race to be the very virtuest of all, you’ve accidentally looped around to homophobia and bigotry.

Me and the boys were absolutely about the warhammer one and I'm pretty sure once it gets on a good sale we're co-oping the recent one.

You're the one suggesting that your lack of attraction to these character models is an objective flaw. Which is, of course, semantically silly, if nothing else. Not finding a character (or person) attractive for whatever reason is your business. Taking to the forum and yelling about androgyny being *objectively* unattractive (in an online space which I'd wager has a disproportionate representation of trans and NB individuals) is an interesting choice.
