    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

      In contrast, the super secret Deadlock has 36k players at this time, with a 64k all-time peak, in the same week that Wukong was released. Something tells me this super secret totally restricted early access might have been a 4D chess marketing move.

      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.

          Someone lost his way on the road to 9gag. You’re going to dislike this place soon enough.

          Therefore, Red Dead 2 was made with the opposite of talent

    Does anyone play splitgate? Has anyone played the splitgate 2 alpha? Jesus, it’s this. Whoever made that game missed the boat big time. Splitgate is a simple arena shooter with portals sprinkled in to make it interesting. No loadouts or “heros” to memorize, no points and weapon upgrades to keep track of. Just fast paced point and shoot. Splitgate 2 is everything I hate in video games currently.

      Honestly if they get rid of the loadout system and weapon mods the game would be a very good upgrade to the og. Doubt they would do that but who knows
