For those out the loop (probably everyone since no one plays this game it seems) this is Concord by Sony, which after years of dev hell launched two days ago as an online game, but has yet to break 700 players online at a time SteamDB Source. In contrast the four year old, often called abandoned, Red Dead Online has more players during off-peak SteamDB Source
In contrast, the super secret Deadlock has 36k players at this time, with a 64k all-time peak, in the same week that Wukong was released. Something tells me this super secret totally restricted early access might have been a 4D chess marketing move.
For the record the devs said this game took eight years to make, and might’ve been pitched even earlier than that. I can’t imagine working on a project for a decade and releasing to… This.
Red Dead 2 took 8 years to make. I bet my soul on that Concord was quickly thrown together in the last couple years by temp diversity hires and 3rd party contractors, or at least the version of Concord that we got now. I love that one of the devs said that “a lot of talented people worked on it”. If it really took them 8 years to make that is the oppsotite of talent. In 8 years I could probably get get a double masters in programming and game development and make a better game myself.
I love how women and minorities get blamed for failures in industries they barely get to participate in. Get fucked super genius.
Someone lost his way on the road to 9gag. You’re going to dislike this place soon enough.

Therefore, Red Dead 2 was made with the opposite of talent
The end products are not comparable
shooters peaked at titanfall and it’s all been downhill from there.
I don’t want a fucking ‘hero’ character unless it’s a PVE game with an actual GODS DAMNED STORY.
Fuck this shit.
Yea originally I hoped all the Overwatch shorts were building to something.
But no, the overwatch “plot” is just random erratic threads going all over the place. Fuck that.
Every other hero shooter has been similar, and most don’t even get close to having unique enough characters or an interesting setting to care. Concord at least have the character part it seems,but the gameplay and well, everything else is just meh.
that was the plan for overwatch, but they massively fucked it up on several fronts. game’s still fun though imo
Spec ops: The Line, perfect example of an actual ‘hero’ character shooter with a story.
God damned right. Yes, Apex Legends was/is great. Sure. But I’d rather have had more Titanfall. 10000 times over more Titanfall.
Is this Deadlock?
It’s Concord, but I wonder if it could apply to Deadlock after the honeymoon phase wears off?
I never really play this genre anyway. 🤷🏻
