Firewalk Studios is reportedly ignoring Concord criticism

Ignoring criticism is always the right way to go
What are they going to do, redesign the whole game?
Plenty of examples of success products with internet backlash preceding them

Will Playstation though?

People are going crazy because of the pronouns thing, right?
'Cause otherwise, the cast is just like any other 5x5 GAAS game that I can think of
Edit: the tweet from the designer is 4 years old. People really are grasping at straws here.
Btw, Grummz is an idiot. He tries way too much to be relevant. Just look at his tweets.

I mean, it could turn out like Helldivers 2 and be a success, right? But then it could look like Fornight mixed with Guardians of the Galaxy and tail off really quickly.
I don't see an appealing experience here, though I appreciate what they've tried to do. I think FairGame$ is going to be a pretty boring game too. I don't see anything exciting there at all.

so we've gone from the saints row / gotham knights '2 wrongs don't make a right' show to the suicide squad / concord '2 wrongs don't make a right' show? all in a matter of just 3/4 years? smh...yep, Rocksteady and WB also ignored the criticism of suicide squad, look what good it did to them

The wokeness is just the icing on this generic looking soulless project.

White Noise is a good name for a game nobody cares about.
Grummz is an extremely dodgy source, though.
People aren’t allowed to like the game?
On another note, some websites jumped in to defend the game:

Here's the thing, AAA game development is too long and too expensive to course correct at this point. The game is what the game is. Trying to fix it's core gameplay would basically mean delaying the game for years and that's just not possible. This is just like those people who thought the 1 year or 6 month Suicide Squad delays would result in massive changes in gameplay. It's just not possible in AAA gaming to respond to criticism that quickly.
My point is, even if the Concord team wanted to take some of the criticism into consideration and change major gameplay elements, they're not able to at this point in development.

Lol I know what white noise is... I was thinking it was a pejorative. Haha

Maybe. Can't say I'm particularly fond of the art direction.
But seeing how people are starting to compare it to Destiny, is kind of a good thing.
Destiny gunplay outstanding.
If they nail it and it becomes like an OW with Destiny gunplay/combat, they might be on to something.
Just saying.

I know some people want to just instigate drama when it comes to this game, and for the record, I could give two shits about it myself. But to be just stirring up stuff just because it's a Hot topic or it's cool to pass the game or because even want to create a stigma around it, it's not cool. It's annoying. If you don't care about the game just ignore it. Heaven forbid they don't fix everything everybody wants because they're making the game they want to make and maybe based on feedback internally, make some changes. Some stuff isn't bad but there is a point now and especially with this game, where there is a little bit too much of a negative stigma without even seeing it and experiencing it. Some things just aren't for you all together. Learn to cope with that.

Guess they don't like the green noise either 
As long as the message is safe though, right guys?

I find it hard to believe that the TLOU GaaS was deemed so bad that it wasn’t worth releasing after working on it for years and this flaming piece of shit looked so good that Sony bought the studio

Because Concord looks great
PC Gamer agrees
It's hard to complain about 'hero shooter fatigue' when Concord looks this good

he’s gotta keep that engagement up for the money that started rolling in
also sheesh the backlash to this is just ridiculous, yeah the woke stuff is insufferable but there’s legit people calling for this game to be scrapped not even 3 months from release without anyone having played it yet, maybe wait until the beta to go all apocalyptic? but of course it’s two sides to the same coin & a lot of the “anti-woke” crowd are just as over the top & insufferable as the rainbow hair brigade

I was actually on board with some of the early stuff he got popular for, he complained about legitimate issues, but now he's off the rails on everything. It's actually sad, i can't take him seriously anymore.he’s gotta keep that engagement up for the money that started rolling in

Well as it turns out I saw the trailer with my own 2 eyes and can confirm it does not look great

You don’t sound like the audience for this game.
Looks really tight and fun with top tier shooter mechanics

“In other words, Concord doesn't appear to be a "shooter MOBA" in the Overwatch style, with its prolonged group fights, strict role adherence, and linear maps. We should expect something closer to Call of Duty or Destiny's Crucible—a mix of traditional FPS modes both casual and competitive. This is a core reason Concord has my attention. Firewalk seemingly understands that there's no more room for battle royales, extraction shooters, or Overwatch clones (we'll see how Marvel Rivals works out), but there is an opening for arena shooters to make a minor comeback. ”

Sounds like they have a lot of industry experience and recognize a good GaaS when they see it

Fact: If this an EA or Ubisoft game you wouldn’t be saying this. It’s so cringe.

Has there been a hero shooter that has traditional arena shooter game modes? Maybe the closest is destiny and its three classes but i can't think of any.“In other words, Concord doesn't appear to be a "shooter MOBA" in the Overwatch style, with its prolonged group fights, strict role adherence, and linear maps.

Honestly, with hero shooters you can also add fun game modes like OW does that would ultimately fail in traditional arena shooters like COD/Halo/xDefiant

False. I greatly enjoy Arena PVP like Destiny and Halo that focuses on tight gunplay and traversal

The game got revealed just a few months before launch. What did people expect?
