I'm almost certain the only reason Concord has players is because of social media incessantly talking about it. The only reason I know of the game is because of social media.

Just let it die and move on already.

They'll keep this in rotation like starfield why make an effort to highlight actually good games when you can give AAA companies the exposure instead. After all they have lots of money.

Wait is that game out

I remember seeing a trailer for that a loooong (couple years I think) time ago

[–] [email protected] 10 points 3 months ago (2 children)

Yes, it came out on the 29th of August on Steam and Epic. It will release on PlayStation 5 and Xbox Series X/S this Fall.

Yo sick

I completly forgot about this game ngl

And yes, I can confirm that Squirrel with a Gun is fun. I've been having an absolute BLAST (pun intended) with the game.

It's absolutely nuts! (pun intended, again)

[–] [email protected] 1 points 3 months ago

It looked fun when j watched the trailer with stuff like bullet jumping so now I gotta check it out

[–] [email protected] 1 points 3 months ago (1 children)

What are you talking about, it released on PS5 a week ago.

[–] M137 2 points 3 months ago (1 children)

Pretty sure it didn't. The website says October 15th, and their link to the PlayStation store also shows that:

I thought you were talking about Concord, I don't even know what Squirrel with a gun is... 😶

[–] aalvare2 1 points 3 months ago (1 children)

Squirrel with a Gun is a game where you play as a squirrel with a gun.

There, now ya know! :)

offffff. less than 200 players

Concord is definitely DOA (Dead on Arrival)

I don't blame the devs for making the game, I blame the suits for not letting anything more interesting come out of the studio

[–] [email protected] 28 points 3 months ago (2 children)

yeah a overwatch clone, even a really well made overwatch clone, 8 years too late and $40 too expensive... Was always going to have a really rough time

Plus... Dollar store guardians of the Galaxy vibes didn't help.

The studio is not at fault for making Concord, they were forced into making it by the executives and suits and didn't let the studio make anything more interesting. We have already got, like, a thousand Overwatch-like games as it is, we do not need more of them. And oh boy, Concord has been absolutely bleeding players as a result of Sony's poor choices and decisions. They have already killed this game off before it could even get up off of the ground. They forced the studio to make yet another uninspired Overwatch clone, and the game is getting barely any players as a result. It's not the studio's fault, it's entirely the fault of the executives.

There's Marvel Rivals which is going to be f2p and is another hero shooter too. So just bad timing and executive decisions overall.

[–] [email protected] 3 points 3 months ago

Wasn't it the other way around? Studio making the game and Sony buying them because they saw potential?

Anyway, fron what I saw the gameplay is really tight, it's everything around it that is not so good. Slap a 40$ pricetag on it and you end up like this

[–] yamanii 2 points 3 months ago

Pretty sure it's the contrary since Sony bought the studio after they were already making it, they have some ex-bungie so they are multiplayer people.

[–] [email protected] 4 points 3 months ago

I kept reading that they tried to be GOTG, but never really got it. Yesterday i watched the intro trailer thing and was like: ooooooooh

[–] [email protected] 10 points 3 months ago (1 children)

I blame that one Dev who said people who don't like the game are a bunch of talentless freaks.

[–] [email protected] 9 points 3 months ago

They definitely ensured I became less inclined to even consider giving this game a chance.

[–] [email protected] 8 points 3 months ago (1 children)

Is squirrel with a gun any good?

[–] [email protected] 26 points 3 months ago (1 children)

Depends what you mean by good. Is it silly pointless fun? Yes it is.

Is it deep, compelling gameplay with a lot of replayability? No.

It plays kind of like Untitled Goose Game in a way. Short themed sections with vague goals.

[–] [email protected] 9 points 3 months ago

I didn't expect anything else than silly pointless fun, after all it's a squirrel with a gun.

Sometimes I love a short game that doesn't take itself seriously, thanks for the info!

~~Janie's~~ Squirrel's Got a Gun

Am I the only one who thinks of this whenever I see this title?
