[@captiosus9753]

I got a beta code invite, played a few matches Saturday and then a bunch on Sunday and everything just felt… generic. Like buying knock off GI Joes from the grocery store aisle as a kid in the 80’s. The characters are clear rip-off’s of Marvel (both MCU and comics) and Overwatch characters. The maps have no soul, the gunplay is just a copy of Destiny and Overwatch, the game modes are the standard types of FPS modes we’ve been playing since Halo 2 and Battlefield. Everything feels like a cheap clone that you KNOW is done better elsewhere. All those “elsewhere” places are free or close to free, so why should I pay for a knock off experience?

[@Xombiiii]

The principle of a hero shooter is to design iconic characters, I've rarely seen characters so lame. You have to really want it to design such generic DEI characters. Even free to play, this game will be a failure ... Let's hope that the commercial failure of Concord and the bankruptcy of Firewalk Studios will make publishers realize that the iconoclasm of traditional video game protagonists cannot work in a free market.

[@ivibs1984]

I dont think i have ever cared about facial expressions while trying to win in a fps.

[@NTxC]

These characters are some of the worst designs I've EVER seen in video games

[@AndragonLea]

Concord seems to be a competently made hero shooter. The problem for me is A) why pay for a new one if I already own Apex Legends or OW 2 and B) what does Concord have that the other game(s) I'm playing do not? There doesn't seem to be any unique draw and that also means I have no reason to justify the pricetag to myself. ... It also doesn't help that Overwatch has a very extensive and diverse roster where each character is likeable while this game seems to be proud of the fact that there might be all of 5 people worldwide that would actively seek out Rule 34 content for its roster and not regret it immediately. Graphics and visuals may not be everything, but they also aren't nothing.

[@ron8162]

The graphics are great, but it's just another 5v5 shooter with less appealing character design then the rest. But this one is 40$ honestly why would you invest in this when you can just continue playing overwatch 2?

DEI and forced Diversity is an aspect that is killing video games, and Joe wont touch the conversation with a 10 foot pole. Disgusting. Notice when Joe talks about the scoreboard, this is just one example of game design that is overlooked for the sake of "not hurting anyone's feelings." I simply ask is this what you want to be your primary focus when making games? Making sure not to offend certain groups of people? Its pathetic, games are NOT supposed to be a reflection of reality. These newer game developers need to learn that, yet they seem hell bent on making it reflect the "real world."

[@Montesama314]

Because whether a cast of characters has diversity has nothing to do with game design, which is the most important part here. Yes, cynical pandering to minority groups for cash is bad, but that doesn't make a five v five game have good or bad player progression. Thw overhyped focus on "DEI" is just veiled bigotry pushed by grifters. "DEI mayor", "DEI congressman," it's become a codeword for a nonwhite person someone doesn't like.

[@DeShawnMcDonald]

@Montesama314 no it's not it's an honest critique on this new generation of game making being completely identity driven with a bunch of liberal white chicks (and dudes pretending to be them) deciding on what is and acceptable for every culture and group in the world. The only difference between them and Christian groups from the 90s/2000s is their logic and effectiveness

Charging for a free to play game in an over saturated genre was always going to make it an uphill battle. But having uninspiring characters and poor map design when they're the life blood of these games was just the nail in the coffin. The politics may be the talking point for many, but really was just the dirt on top. If the game had been quality that could have been overlooked.
