Concord Review | Asmongold Reacts 

"Bless their hearts," as the soul-deadened Texan elite would say.

This game looks like it’s testosterone draining

raw untapped "bless your heart" energy

IGN reviews are charming

Doesn't matter. Everything'everyoje does is magic evolution programming , so there is no choice or reason and it's all progressing for good , which is subjective and meaningless anyways.

Looking back at Rise of Skywalker, idk... maybe i judged Last Jedi to harshly...

What do they even gain from doing that? Do they have business deals or something?

​@@fabiopauli420No you didn't. The last Jedi could never ever be judged too harshly. You were 💯 correct in doing so.

Asmon said that they cut their credibility in half with those pieces, but what even is half of 0?

@@orcishhWoke politicians and the capitalists who want to make the world chaotic and full of conflicts to make them rule better, sponsor them.

Nothing they actually believe that, IGN is long gone.

Not sony, IGN is run bt blackrock, vanguard, state street

No, no, no! IGN would be like: "wait, they paying you money?" 😂

​@@SWOTHDRA I think they are all the same. What I believe is happening is that these companies want both your money and the money from the taxpayers and investors, look at Dustborn and how it was funded by taxpayer money. What I believe is going on is that these companies want their cake and eat it at the same time but don't realize that such a demand is impossible.

WHy can't IGN just listen to Asmond and others that have not played the gane. IGN so stupid 🤦‍♂

Always did.

Access Media and Corporate Fascism moving to globalist culture vs American for dubious reasons. The left thinks globalism is the future and the answer to war....

​​@lolimmune Exactly. There was this short period when I was like 10 that I actually thought they were objective, but then they just started rating everything between 7-9, and it was clear they were bought and paid for.

Still, ign has so many subs on youtube. They all need to unsub.

That shows how you can buy media, but not players (except, maybe, if your game is gacha-based (?)).

The only advertisement ive seen for concord is youtube people shitting on it

Imagine not even getting that as the peak players😂

they don't have any backing they have 500-600 twitter freaks playing the game no mainstream media backing this game

What kind of backup are you even talking about? Nobody was really talking about this game, nobody cared about the trailers, nobody cared about the cinematics, and a lot of people cared about the upfront price tag, which is fair. A premium multiplayer only shooter isn’t really an option and hasn’t been since 2016. Unsurprisingly the game died.

Yeah once you understand IGNs review scores it makes sense, they don't give anything under a 7, which means something getting a 7 is an incredibly low score and it's a terrible game. They do this to keep positive relationships with companies so they give them money.

🤣🤣🤣

Apply the following function (10 - IGN-Score) - BS-amount (in kg)/100 = Actual Score from a Sane person

0/10 on IGN's language means 10/10 on English language.

yeah the dude was mostly trashing on the game telling it how it was but he still has to mask the review as good lmao

remember the cons they gave...did not allow SBI and apperently lack of diversity, whatever that means in a game about monkey king.

It proves that IGN is being woke infested lol

the 8/10 make them vomit. It was a force rating lol

@@dayyanshard3174 What's woke about them? What's your definition of 'woke'? I don't like IGN, but I dislike more people who use the word to just describe something they don't like. You can ask 10 people what woke means and you can get 10 different answers. So sick of it lol.

Losing dozens of hours waiting in matchmaking lobbies for players who aren't there. Charming indeed.

@@VongolaXanxus I’m surprised he was always able to continuously find a match with such a small base of players, but than I remembered that most of the modern audience don’t have jobs…

to be fair, the reviewer didn't mention where he lost those dozens of hours. It could very well be "i lost dozens of hours to it's pvp charm (waiting in the queue)"

idk why they called that big yellow fleshlight-lookalike robot is an "instant charming character"

Gatekeeping is necessary for all hobbies, including gaming. Otherwise you dilute your core audience in what is called "hobby tourists", AKA people _only_ using the hobby as either a propaganda piece toward the original core audience, a pretext for social meetings or dating opportunities, or just opportunistic power creeps seeking easy "wins" by lowering the standard of the hobbies' rules. An example of each categories, in order, would be gaming devs and journalists pushing leftist ideology, the complete 180 society has had toward "nerd/otaku/gaming" culture and its gatherings, and E-Sport ("""professional""" gamers are a plague on the development of game balance and I'm tired of pretending they're not)

I will puke if you ask me to write those words😅

​@@philltheotherguy1868 Duh. I wonder why? Almost like they don't want you to play as him and he was only added as deflection from criticism...

Whilst it's definitely up there for DEI, Dustborn clears.

Freakshow is already a game, I believe its about killer circus performers

Baizuo, the game

DEI has nothing to do with it. The characters look stupid. Plain and simple.

Actually dustborn has that title 😅

All the characters looked washed out and muted. The color palettes are honestly kinda nauseating. The whole pale green/purple/teal/maroon palette is not interesting or flattering in any context. Even the models look very basic and lacking in anything unique or even appealing. You can tell they tried to a variety of races and body types into the characters, but they spent more time on that than trying to make the characters look actually interesting and make people want to play them. They lack the cool factor that Overwatch and other hero shooters have.

I agree. A lot of people say it's because they're woke but it's not even that, it's the colors and how they look like bad cosplayers in a comic convention. Their clothes don't belong to them. They weren't well-designed at all, and I feel it's so hard to fuck up colors this bad.

they literally all feel like side characters from series with 2 seasons you couldve seen in the 90s after xena warrior princess.

@@0llar They were probably designed by AI.

​@CovenantoftheFatherland-e1w OK I know I'm not supposed to response to bots but I genuinely wanna know why some people waste there making these things because at this point everyone ignore them so there no pissing off anyone(which I'm pretty sure they can't see it with how many there are.) And it waste of time as there are other platforms they can go to that is easier to riled up people.

​@@dantenadir2850wtf are you talking about

They also gave Dustborn a 7

7 from their site’s scoring explanation means that it covers the checkboxes within the game’s genre, but either doesn’t innovate beyond that or fails in any new design added. Concord getting a 7 makes sense

Tbf palworld is kind of a mess it deleted my save and still has a bunch of other bugs

@@ahtalmachanation3831 It did and does have its issues but it was still a smash hit, one that " journalists " tried to tear down like the others. That was the point.

@@ahtalmachanation3831 idk i never had really bad bugs, the worst one was the one where pals would just spawn / clip outside of walls and get stuck there because they cant get back in. I only got like 350 hours and these were mostly recent, maybe most of the bad bugs already got fixed

IGN gave Palworld an 8, a 9 to Helldivers 2, 8 to Wukong and 9 to Hogwarts Legacy, what's your point? @fracturedraptor7846

Obviously to get 9 you need the entire earth to play it. Right?

The distance between 7and 8 is the distance between heaven and earth

Perhaps IGN forgot to tell the viewers that it's a log scale

@@faiirnah, to be a 9 you just need to paid them more lol

More players dosent mean better games lol

Nailed it. Best comment.

IGN 7 mean "it's shit but we're paid so we can't give less"

Apparently 7 is IGN way to say, game is trash, but we got paid so, 7 is lower we are allowed to go.

The game is published by Sony. IGN constantly twerks for them.

He also claims to have spent "over 40 hours" playing a game that was released just 4 days prior... and averaged about 500 players during that timeframe. My guess? The reviewer didn't even play a single minute of this game

There are millions apon millions of gamers all over the world and a tiny cohort of mostly US/UK game journalists who deny reality and push the narrative in lock step.

200,000,000

Dude, it's sad. I'm a game journalist - not in the US though and all of these outlets had really good people - gamers, people who care deeply about games. But the majority were replaced with so called culture editors - Kotaku and Polygon especially have hired a ton of women who didn't had any gaming background, so they encounter games as movies and tv shows within the left bubble. You probably know that Amazon and other streaming services have really strict guidelines how they make tv shows now - certain percentage black, certain percentage Latin, certain percentage of characters need to be openly LGBTQ - if you deliver a script, you need to check a ton of boxes. And this is how they approach games - they don't know the mechanics or care about them, all that matters is that it checks a large list of diversity requirements.

Nothing beats too much water 7.8/10

@MrFroggster That’s so wild that I didn’t believe you. I’m glad people don’t take ign seriously.

They are giving a bad review while praising it. I gotta give it to this IGN guy. He knows the games dog shit but he's trying to keep his job. The gaslighting techniques he's using, I havnt seen since dating a female sociopath. A positive followed up by a massive negative ending the sentence on a lower positive. Crazy af

Lol no one takes IGN seriously. Everyone knows if you wanna have fun you do the exact opposite of what IGN recommends. They're basically rotten tomatoes now.

"charming characters" yeah except maybe 1 or 2 of them "the queue" takes about 90 seconds currently. seen gameplay & others that played it, & they thought its a fun game, with some good features that other games dont use, but will die anyway cuz its not a good game for 40 bucks. if it would be f2p it would be an actually good to play title "figuring out their tricks" is journalism that get used for almost every game. like figuring out boss attacks & skiills = mechanics - used by pretty much everyone when writing a script. -> its IGN (or if u listen to them, giving them a platform so they will keep going)

Yeah, at least it's not just a blue dude with a rifle, or just a green dude with pistols

Another saying is: "If you can cheat, cheat." Guess Game journos is going with that one.

Ya~ they think if you cheat yourself, you can cheat the WORLD... genius. Good lock to IGN, hope they food, because their brain definitely need some nutritions

Yes! This is why I always call these people who say that a content creator saying something changes what people feel about a game dumb. So many people are trying to gaslight others in the Overwatch community by saying they only don’t enjoy the game because they’re being told so.

Yeah, I love how asmond didn't press that harder. But also really concerning as to why states are trying to pass age restriction laws on corn sites. I don't wanna give my ID but I'm pressed because I also don't want young kids on those sites. Sure, as a 13 year old I found sites for say looking at Misty pics, but I'm a Fd up adult because of that sooooo idk.

​@@BoinkrNanis I'm amazed that people forgot about parental controls. The ID push online thing is not what you think it is.

@@BoinkrNanis The problem is that it's not going to solve the issue. It's fighting the symptoms instead of the disease. The actual problem is parents not keeping enough of an eye on their children. Giving your kids a device with unfiltered access to the internet is like giving them a tour of the back alleys of Calcutta on a humid Saturday night. They're gonna be seeing some serious stuff. Adding ID requirement for specific corn sites won't stop that, because A) not all sites are based in the US and therefore not all sites will ever be subject to this regulation to begin with and B) new sites will pop up and allow access to adult material without that filter until some overworked and underpaid government agency gets around to sending that cease and desist even if they COULD enforce it. If the government had the sort of access and control they needed to actually make all adult sites lock content behind ID, we wouldn't still be able to pirate movies. The push to stop that was massive. Billion dollar multimedia giants pulled every lever they had to stop music and movie piracy any yet the newest movie release is just one google search away. What they NEED to do is to educate parents on how to limit and monitor what their children watch. To teach parents how to educate their children about the dangers of the internet the same way they would teach them to stay away from that one street corner where the dealers/hookers hang out. It's also not going to completely remove accidental exposure, but it's a damn sight more effective than trying to lock the internet away so parents don't have to parent. I'm pretty sure the government knows this and the reason they push for ID is to get a foot in the door of a more complete surveillance state. Right now the government can spy on your internet habits but needs probable cause to actually use anything they find. They can't let on just how much they know about your activities online because that information is supposed to be confidential. If they can push tying your IP or other login credentials to your ID, they suddenly have a lot more leeway to "become aware" of your activities online. Not necessarily terrible if you're somewhat internet savvy and can use proxies and burner devices to keep your activities unconnected to your government identity, but certainly a huge stride in locking down the access to information, behaviour and habits of the general population.

​@@BoinkrNanisyou wanna trade something for that "safety". The politicians are using "safety" as a carrot, they want that something from you reaaaaal bad. But you're a free man from a free country, so I'm sure the mouse won't bite the piece of cheese

7/10 is the default, sometimes they will go lower. Remember Redfall? The entire article is talking shit about that game, final review: 4/10. Remember that a 5 is supposed to be average

They need to keep publishers sweet with them, so they can't afford to burn them...

@@oscardalmatiner8724 maybe Redfall was not woke enough, did not pay enough money to IGN or wasn't Mainstream/LGBTQ+- Friendly enough for IGN to give it a 7/10

Exactly. There are 10 female characters in Wukong who take a high/important roles.

Considering how bad ign reviewers seem to be at playing games, I can totally buy they spent 40 hours in Wukong without making it to Chapter 3. My favorite part about all that was their game impression article from a few months back where they said they saw no "femme coded" character models and asked the developers if any were in the game, to which the developers refused to answer. Turns out there were tons of them but game science knew exactly what ign was trying to do and refused to play their childish games. That infuriated them.

This is just some of the cons which Blizzard needs to take seasons to fix. Its just a subpar at max 6-7 rating game at launch. I had more fun and immersion playing Diablo 1 or 2.

Yup. The true first impressions of those games (the announcements that built a LOT of hype) are why those games were able to come back. Disappointment players wanted the game to be good and were willing to give it a second look. By comparison, this game went over like a fart in the wind from the onset.

Life finds a way...

While I agree Concord isn't a great game, player count is the least credible way to judge them. There are plenty of amazing games that go under the radar and have low play count because of no publicity.

Because TFD isn't woke trash and has hot asian women.

They had an open beta, which didn't reach 700 players. The game arrived dead.

​@@mtbarnes1In this particular context, Concord is a AAA live service game. The fact that it has this low of a player count is significant. The entire point of live service is to maintain a high playerbase for a long period of time.

TFD is a f2p, concord is 40$. TFD only got that popular due to it being a gooner bait

That's been a problem since 2010

That or as mentioned in the video they're afraid of big daddy Sony not giving them benefits, such as early copies. Without them they'll fall behind other companies when it comes to getting their reviews up early and getting early clicks on the videos and articles on the website, which seem to be all these companies care about.
