    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

      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.

    As someone who actually bought this game, I can confirm that it’s not good. The main issue is that there’s not nearly enough content to be worth the $40 price tag. It just has a few PvP game modes and that’s it. It’s basically like paying $40 just to play the PvP portion of Destiny, except worse because you don’t get to build your own character.

    It makes Suicide Squad and Redfall in retrospect not look as sad with their launch day player counts.

    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.
