    Its an Overwatch clone that released 10 years too late.

    The character designs are atrocious, some of which may possibly be due to “DEI consultancy firms” editing/changing/having the final say on character design (don’t know what the firms did, so they could have done nothing or had draconian control over every detail), but ignoring that even just on a mechanical level the designs are bad. The silhouettes are hard to read, the color separation is bad, texture variety is bad, cohesion in design patterns is bad. Its like they were designed by people that know nothing about art or character design, IMO equally as bad as when some fanfic writers write about women in the most ridiculous ways possible.

    People aren’t tired of Hero Shooters. Paladins is doing alright (shockingly), Valorant is still pulling in big player numbers, and Valve’s Deadlock is proving MASSIVELY popular and that’s not even released yet.

    Concord was just a bad game. It featured art nobody liked, characters that were both ugly and boring at the same time, and it demonstrated a profound lack of attention to detail. For example, Concords particles from bullet impacts practically don’t exist and the sound does almost nothing to make the player feel like theyre actually shooting a gun.

    For $100+ milion and 8 years, where did all that money go? Because it obviously wasn’t spent on the game.




  • Thatcher wasn’t exactly genociding multiple groups of people, ordering the deaths of millions of people, or invading nearly every bordering country with the most vile hostile intent known to man. Britain’s first female MP being comapred to a genociding terrorist? I mean, I can see how political tribalism might make some people feel like that’s okay, but please remember that the Nazis were so many orders of magnitude worse than any other group of people in human history, ever.

    Regardless, Bethesda’s Creation Club doesn’t have anything to do with Call of Duty, an Activision product. The two are regulated by different rules.

    Additionally, a war game that simulates warfare during World War 2 would necessarily require Nazis to be in the game, if it involves battle with Germany. It is quite different from a game that simulates a super soldier travelling to Mars and killing demons, like Doom 2 is. The context of the latter has no necessity for presence of political figures from real life.
