I will probably try it when it is available.
I can’t wait for a proper alternative to Overwatch. I have completely stopped playing, no more raid boss fights for me (as a DPS main).
The game is not bad though, it’s slower but more like destiny.
The issue was is psn account and entry price.
It also has balance issues and performance issues but those are secondary to the main issues.
It has been absolutely mocked to hell for a very long time now. It’s old news despite releasing today.

Some of the Overwatch streamers tried Concord (Flats amongst other). It had clunky controls and wierd bugs that would make you lose control of your character at times (like the mouse would get stuck and the character would slowly turn in one direction). A good amount of the heroes were useless.
IMO from what I saw they have a good foundation of a game, but they need to work the kinks out, make the controls good, make better balance.
But that is definitely not impossible. If they then make it free (a successful game will make alot of money from the shop), they could still become successful.
But it will take a significant effort and a change of direction.

Nah quick TTK means anyone can get easy kills. Longer TTK means better players always have a higher chance to win, and requires consistent high accuracy.
Like getting precision kills in Halo. String headshots only, or you suck.
I think the games reputation will kill it faster than anything.
Nothing but sheer negativity on all fronts.
Bland characters, Bullet sponges, “woke” ( I hate that word… ), Terrible map design.
I’ve no idea what they’ve been doing in those 8 years but there isn’t really anything to show for it.
I played both open beta weekends and had lots of fun. It is nothing like OW, though. It’s closer to CoD than anything, especially the core modes, just with heroes and abilities. I pre-ordered and will have the full game when it launches today.
There’s a good variety in gun and play styles that sets it apart from CoD. It’s strongest point is its gun play, which makes sense from former Bungue devs. I found the cast of heroes boring from an aesthetic standpoint, but they’re all fun to play.
The internet is hating on the game, but I’ve heard the same positive notes about the strong gameplay from almost everyone who has actually played it. Most people writing it off are those who haven’t tried it.
longer TTK means you aint winning a 2v1, way less outplay potential. Time to run away, hand holding. Far worse for an fps. It’s why Halo fails. 4 shots to kill somebody is ridiculous. Shields make it low skill too, not always having to headshot only until their shield goes down
one shot head is too fast on an AR, 2 shot head is perfect TTK. Unless a sniper ofc. One shot body operator ruins tac shooters
Because nobody wants to play it and Rivals stole the show
Not gonna mention why it is hated because I’ll be attacked
I’ll just leave it at this:
But if you really want to know look it up, you probably won’t be too shocked to see why it will flop.
Seems like a fun drunk weekend night with nothing to do 5 times total type of game.
^He means he’s a bigot.
Bit of both. The price point is a huge barrier to entry and a lot to ask players to risk on a game that may or may not go the distance.
Factor in goofy decisions like the full animation playing out every time you pick a hero comes across as annoying.
The gameplay from what I’ve seen isn’t terrible, but not on the level I think most people would expect from the game.
Well now I’m really curious lol.
Nice but not my style.
concord is more like quake than it is overwatch or marvel rivals
marvel rivals is closer to overwatch1 but farther from paladins
deadlock is closer to dota and lol than it is to overwatch
they are pretty different types of “hero shooters” and i dont think any of them except for marvel rivals is going to get many players to switch from overwatch, mostly cuz concord isnt quite that good imho… its somewhat fun but nothing special (character design meh, ability design meh, lore meh), and deadlock is a moba with a third person perspective and verticality
This game will never take off. It’s actually amazingly bad… The best one of the lot is Marvel Rivals, and it’s not even good, just mediocre++
I genuinely would’ve given it a shot if they weren’t stupid enough to make it PC/PS exclusive.
Idk how they thought any multiplayer hero shooter could possibly be successful if they both kept it exclusive AND charged $40 for it.
Corporate greed kills games.

while im on xbox (advertising algorithms mightve figured it out and not bothered showing me it), ive seen barely any advertising for the game as of recent; it was just barely shown off at all
reminder that this is the same company that almost hard killed helldivers II and its still suffering the consequences of being region locked from plenty of countries
