Or you know you could admit that you are a woman and have no clue how the male mind thinks and what we identify with.

All of game "journalism" is captured, game has nothing but stellar/outstanding reviews, it wasn't out long enough for negative experiences to have spread in non-traditional channels (ie word of mouth), it had tons of fucking marketing, like 200% saturation vs other games, say compared to say Black Myth Wukong which gets non-stop hate and criticism from the gaming "press" despite selling 18 million copies.

The problem isn't that the game was bad, bad launch timing, launched into a crowded market, etc etc bullshit excuses you wanna make for the game.

The problem is MEN DID NOT BUY IT. We don't even know that it was bad because we didn't buy it, we never played it. We took 1 look at the character models and noped the fuck out of it. We didn't even know it was an arena shooter. We wrote it off without a seconds thought because in the very real, very primal caveman brain of ours which says "we don't identify with any of this shit, I don't wanna run around as a tub of lard"

This game sold less copies than Asheron's Call 2 did.

Honestly the game could have been the best thing since sliced bread and we never would have known and the game would of failed just as quickly and got deleted in the same 2 weeks with full refunds, men were never going to fucking play it and any fucking game studios that puts women in charge of anything, especially character models, deserve to fail just as fucking hard and just as fucking fast.

You have to remember that Mist thinks that Horizon Zero Dawn is the platinum standard of game design, down to the character models.

Yie Ar Kung Fu and some space game are the two I remember playing the most. Space one was first person and I know you shot other ships and an asteroid, pretty sure it was only 2 colors. Can’t remember much else.

Nobody bought it lol. It shouldn't have had a box price, no one should have had to buy it.

You think it failed because of something specifically to do with "men" and not every other overriding factor that was wrong with it.

If someone made a hero shooter that was somehow mostly aimed at women, who knows, it might do well? It would at least be a differentiator in a crowded market. (For instance, I only ever hear of women playing Dead by Daylight. I know zero men who play that game.)

This was aimed at nobody. It was very fucking bad on many levels, where you're just focused on one.

Yes, I already said men did not buy it. Men = the ENTIRE FUCKING MARKET. There is no tranny/tub girl/DEI/Womyns Market for video games. There is no "Modern Audience" for any fucking media, movies, TV, Video games, doesn't matter. If you do not appeal to men your project fails, period. how many billions of dollars and franchises have to be ruined for cunts like you do get it through your stupid head? This game is hardly the only failure this year.

It wouldn't have mattered one fucking bit if it were F2P, men where never going to play it and it would have shut down just as quickly. it's concurrent users would have still been under 1k.

We know 100% that it failed because it did not appeal to men, this isn't even up for debate.

What do you mean, "If" someone made a shooter that was mostly aimed at women? THEY JUST DID THIS MIST. IT WAS CALLED CONCORD. IT FAILED, SPECTACULARLY.

Character design is fucking simple it was mastered back in the 16 fucking bit era, as soon as we could differentiate what pixel was what, we knew how to design characters. Only retarded alphabet people like you want to come around and try and reinvent the wheel.

- If it's an IP, then be faithful to the IP. If i'm playing Batman let me play batman. I don't want some fucking twitch code to download a special edition barbie batman with a neon pink suit who shoots rainbow butterflies instead of batarangs.

- If its original then you make everything the ideal version of itself. Some big honking gigachad main dude, some long hair skinny big tittied girl, a badass robot. some masculine animal hybrid like gorilla man or crocobot or some shit, some mysterious gun slinger wide brimmed hat with a trench coat, etc. This shit ain't fucking hard. Really easy, have men design all the characters. While you are at it, have men design the entire game.

Both men and women prefer male designs. Video games are escapism, nobody wants to play a fucking 300 lb fucking tub of lard in their free time, especially if they are a 300 lb tub of lard in real life. Men cannot identify with it, and women do not want to compare themselves with it, see the similarities between themselves irl and the obviously "ugly" character, which their brains can't help but to do. Women would much rather play the beautiful big titty cheerleader characters and relish in the validation they receive from other players or the game itself.

It's not even a sexist thing, Men play female characters to, if they are the protagonist, its part of the story, or the character is appealing. We've been doing this happily since triangle tittied laura croft. It doesn't bother us.



You know what does bother us? This shit. What the fuck is this?


You don't get it. You think "Social sciences are irreproducible bullshit" except that they are infinitely reproducible and conclusive as fuck. Here's another researched, peer reviewed and well understood study: Do you know that straight men find gay scenes, male kissing, dong's, etc in media to be as repulsive as a wriggling mass of maggots? It absolutely disgusts us, triggers our gag reflex, makes us uncomfortable as fuck. If you took a horror film and replaced every gore scene with 2 dudes kissing the CT Scan of a man's brain while watching it would be identical. We cannot identify with it, it's "other". It's bad. man no like it.

The same shit applies here. Concord failed EXCLUSIVELY because men could not identify with any of the characters, they all varied between "gay" and "repulsive" and thus MEN could not play it. I'm sure it was also a terrible game with lots of shitty features and all that jazz, but again, MEN never even bothered to play it to discover these bad features, so you cannot claim that this is why it failed. It failed solely due to some faggot tranny and all female design meetings decided they wanted representation in video games and designed all the characters to look like themselves.

Edit: TLDR: Character design is easy and everyone with half a brain knows this. It's simple, "either I want to be it, or I want to fuck it" Applies to both men and women. Nobody wants to be any of the concord characters and obviously nobody wants to fuck any of them either.

While I don't disagree with that video from what I saw of it it's really hard to get on board when it starts off as an advertisement for some snake oil pill or whatever the fuck that was, I skipped passed it.

And of course Mist continues her delusional tirade of stupid. I would say you're starting to get close but your female brain won't allow you to concede points or admit you are wrong.

First you blame marketing, then bad design, then whatever bullshit, each point you bring up has been thoroughly refuted and proven incorrect, leaving only my original statement. And boy, you sure are getting close!




you've convinced yourself there is some theoretical "Modern Audience" and somehow this game both failed to appeal to men as well as the "Modern Audience". That is where you are mistaken. This game 100% did appeal to your "modern audience," this game is a fat lesbian tranny lovers dream. The problem is that modern audience is 900 fucking people. Your imaginary audience doesn't exist, and whatever bridge they live under, they aren't playing video games, much less shooters, under there. they are crying about misgendering and oppression and free palestine and 41%ing themselves but what they aren't doing is playing video games, buying video games, or giving a shit about video games.

Here let me break it down for you ok?

The only market for shooters is Men, Concord did not appeal to men, thus concord failed.

Gotta be Sims, by a huge margin.
