Only problem is that helps only digital buyers. How does Sony refund disc buyers and all the stores who already have cases of this stuff? Ship it all back to Sony's warehouse asap?

Well i dont know but studios have refunded gamers before when games have launched in a bad state, or broken etc.
For the ones thye cant, maybe $40 worth of ingame currency?.
I actually dont think Sony will do it anyway, not straight away anyway, maybe after 2-3 months.

Note that these numbers are the demo and the full release combined.

I see Concord being a PS+ game in Dec as it'll coincide with a bump in gamers due to Xmas holidays.

Notice he purposely picked something subjective and hard to show in images like gameplay to make a stand. Even if gamers and websites say there's nothing special about it, modes are nothing special, TTK is too much, and even the beta had no join in progress teams etc... he picked something where he wont be laughed at like defending ugly visuals, bad characters, and cringey dialogue.
He'll always try to find a silver lining in Sony stuff. And if he has a really hard time, he'll try to balance off a post with something like..... "well at least it's not as bad as Redfall" or something MS related that has nothing to do with the thread.

I bought the original Overwatch full price. I didn't get a refund when it went FTP. I bet there is some fine print in the Concord EULA stating if they go FTP the gamers who paid full price are then SOL.

Yeah supposedly they requested to have that tag (and “Political”) removed from the game and blacklisted so it can’t be tagged with those again.

Same. And Destiny 2.

Yep. I did that full price too.

Yep, they've been doing that since 2021-22 IIRC.

Even the devs know this is bad PR.
From now the game can get a 'false advertising' tag.

Well, I guess the old saying is true: "It doesn't take a professor to make a good videogame,"
Truly, truth.

They are added by users. But the publisher has some degree of control and can remove some tags.

The sexual content tag is acurate, cuz when you buy this on PS and cant get a refund, you're fucked.Well it got some other tags now...

Comedy and Capitalism are great tags, too. In this case, kind of like toe-tags, but regardless.

play station subsidy.
the fact that they acknowledge the "hate" tells you how this game is perceived by the allies.
but the market rejection has been astonishing. I think any executive at Sony has to be baffled by it.

These clowns will never learn. It has nothing to do with "hate". We just don't want the shit you are selling.

They didn't learn with movies, TV shows and games. But these lessons are getting uber expensive, so even though they never learn, money is not infinite so I guess we'll have to just starve them of the resources to produce this crap.

well, when it comes to these guys in particular, beating the hate sits far, far below beating their sales expectations figures on their list of priorities...

I'll be honest, I watched some of the gameplay that someone has been posting on my Twitter feed and it doesn't look that bad, but fucking hell those characters

Concord: Sony’s online shooter is flying but not yet soaring in a very crowded airspace
It is beautifully made but achingly familiar so could struggle to lure players away from what is already out there
www.theguardian.com
‘It is also unapologetically and loudly diverse, which will upset the sorts of players who modern online games should be upsetting because, frankly, this minority of misanthropic gatekeeping blowhards is ruining the fun for everyone else.’

Ah, good. Now we are to blame. Isn't that great?
Accountability zero. More lovely are the game journalists shooting for every side, trying to find someone to blame.

Politics, Political Sim, and Colorful are still top 3 tags I see when i'm logged out.
So if the devs are trying to blacklist tags, they either arent banishing political tags, or they are but gamers keep putting them back. lol

I love how these "journalists" keep blaming the "haters" and "chuds" for a product's failure. It worked swimmingly well when they attacked Star Wars fans for The Acolyte's failure... before it even began airing.Concord: Sony’s online shooter is flying but not yet soaring in a very crowded airspace

Have you played the game? Seems like a lot of people are running their mouth about it and haven't actually played it. A game can play well, but look unappealing as fuck to commercial audiences.
I've already said I wanted the game to fail. It has no longevity despite playing well. The characters suck. And I got my fill of it with a free beta weekend and no need to ever come back. They didn't take the time to make the package compelling.

Your first mistake is reading the Guardian.

What does playing well mean?
tDisregarding the aesthetics, the maps are shit, the modes are ripped straight out of every other mp game, the TTK is longer than the input lag in wukong, its floaty, the progression is wank.
The only thing is the actual shooting feels alright, but not as good as its peers
id say from experience on the whole it plays quite poor.
You said yourself you got bored after a few hours if it played great that would not be the case.

I edited my post above i disagree. The gunplay is ok, its no COD or Destiny.

Well I never liked CoD, but I do think Destiny is better, but Concord is still well above average in this space and good
Nothing beats Destiny gunplay

That’s before the beta, nice try though
I don’t know why anyone would want a game to fail before trying it

I love their delusional belief that these ‘chuds’ who criticise their games are the vocal minority and that they are actually making games for some mythical majority that wants this shit.
Projection 101 I guess?

I was browsing reviews for Concord and saw their headline ‘Concord is flying …’ and thought I gotta see this spin. I wasn’t surprised in the least by the content of the review, more amused!
