Replying to taxes #tzfi

concept wise its nice and it has a lot of QoL and small things that make game very easy to play like hover over tooltips that explain every effect and stat and formula

I liked that in the demo, the abilities also weren't multi-paragraphs autism

Spooky Phijkchu Sep 2, 2024 1:12 PM games

they were all well designed

Spooky Phijkchu Sep 2, 2024 1:13 PM games

but yeah, hard to not fall into doing the same thing every run unless they force you not to

they really improved a lot in 2 years

Spooky Phijkchu Sep 2, 2024 1:15 PM games

amogus-->Eathbound-->sanctioned indie-grade pixel art

taxes Sep 2, 2024 3:00 PM games

oh yeah spooky if you do the chapter 4 secret area makes usre to explore it all and do a very hard boss in it BEFORE doing the final boss of its area

taxes Sep 2, 2024 3:00 PM games

or it despawns

Spooky Phijkchu Sep 2, 2024 3:47 PM games

yeah, I got to the drunk scorpion

Spooky Phijkchu Sep 2, 2024 3:47 PM games

though I haven't beat him yet, I took a break then

Spooky Phijkchu Sep 2, 2024 3:47 PM games

it took me FOREVER to figure out what I did wrong to trigger opening the portal there

Spooky Phijkchu Sep 2, 2024 3:48 PM games

but because I had explored the cave after exploring the temple area, I didn't trigger some boss refight and thought I was just going crazy

legorhin Sep 2, 2024 5:19 PM games

what it should have been on launch

legorhin Sep 2, 2024 5:20 PM games

still getting no player base because it had that price tag and console exclusivity

Spooky Phijkchu Sep 2, 2024 5:40 PM games

If they ported it to Steam I'd try it out

legorhin Sep 2, 2024 5:41 PM games

I enjoyed the 3 games I played in the beta

legorhin Sep 2, 2024 5:41 PM games

it really should go on steam

so uh, I'm really sad they sold their IP to Gearbox now

Spooky Phijkchu Sep 2, 2024 9:35 PM games

the whole situation also makes 100x less sense

Phijkchu_Pikachu Sep 2, 2024 9:35 PM games

I only learned they sold the IP when I was hearing the dlc is shit

Phijkchu_Pikachu Sep 2, 2024 9:35 PM games

gearbox is such a bad company

Spooky Phijkchu Sep 2, 2024 9:35 PM games

why sell, to then not retire, but instead go work for a major publisher/developer

no desire to create anymore

taxes Sep 2, 2024 9:44 PM games

they did specifcally say that

taxes Sep 2, 2024 9:44 PM games

you get to relax as a dev at a big company, one of the biggest infact

taxes Sep 2, 2024 9:44 PM games

no big overhead stress of creating and etc.

Spooky Phijkchu Sep 2, 2024 9:45 PM games

they did kind of say they burned out

Spooky Phijkchu Sep 2, 2024 9:45 PM games

but idk, it's still weird

legorhin Sep 2, 2024 11:23 PM games

there its done

legorhin Sep 2, 2024 11:23 PM games

legorhin Sep 2, 2024 11:29 PM games

the stuff you have to do to fully 100% this game is funny and I will not be doing it

legorhin Sep 2, 2024 11:30 PM games

basically clear the final level without ever progressing past the first area and without completing the first main questline

An important update on Concord

Your support and the passionate community that has grown around the game has meant the world to us. However, while many qualities [...]

lol

Polar_ Sep 3, 2024 12:21 PM games

Concord is already being delisted and all users are getting refunds

taxes Sep 3, 2024 12:21 PM games

you literally can't fix this

legorhin Sep 3, 2024 12:21 PM games

the response to all the feedback is to cancel the already released game

taxes Sep 3, 2024 12:21 PM games

this is actual death for a game

Polar_ Sep 3, 2024 12:21 PM games

I have never heard of a company doing this before. Insane that they just let this keep going till launch

Polar_ Sep 3, 2024 12:22 PM games

And yea, there's no fix. You cannot flip this anyway without it staying a shit sandwhich

taxes Sep 3, 2024 12:22 PM games

the only option is to go an overeatch and make an entire campaign out of the assets you have

legorhin Sep 3, 2024 12:23 PM games

iirc cyberpunk 2077 refunded console versions

/china is a command

Spooky Phijkchu Sep 3, 2024 12:27 PM games

I can't remember previous forced refunds, that one scam game (The Day Before?) did universal refunds but you got to keep the game in your account

Spooky Phijkchu Sep 3, 2024 12:28 PM games

Concord doing forced refunds is kind of expected tbh, ~20k sales shouldn't be too hard logistically

Spooky Phijkchu Sep 3, 2024 12:28 PM games

but wtf do they salvage this into

taxes Sep 3, 2024 12:29 PM games

has to be singleplayer slop

taxes Sep 3, 2024 12:29 PM games

they can't do anything else

taxes Sep 3, 2024 12:29 PM games

people don't want hero shooters

taxes Sep 3, 2024 12:29 PM games

OR

taxes Sep 3, 2024 12:29 PM games

they make it a moba

taxes Sep 3, 2024 12:29 PM games

that's the funniest timeline

Spooky Phijkchu Sep 3, 2024 12:29 PM games

lol

Spooky Phijkchu Sep 3, 2024 12:29 PM games

I wish

taxes Sep 3, 2024 12:30 PM games

i will buy it for two hours if it becomes a moba

Spooky Phijkchu Sep 3, 2024 12:30 PM games

the game has nice assets (ignoring the characters) and they have 3 season of story cutscenes done

Polar_ Sep 3, 2024 12:30 PM games

They should copy paste the assets overs the Crash Bandicoot moba

taxes Sep 3, 2024 12:30 PM games

i think they have to just finish and drop singleplayer

legorhin Sep 3, 2024 12:30 PM games

taxes Sep 3, 2024 12:31 PM games

and hope that campaign redoes costs

legorhin Sep 3, 2024 12:31 PM games

not even that deep yet

Spooky Phijkchu Sep 3, 2024 12:32 PM games

ok Max, hear me out

taxes Sep 3, 2024 12:32 PM games

lol

Spooky Phijkchu Sep 3, 2024 12:32 PM games

they double down on their characters being 10/10

taxes Sep 3, 2024 12:32 PM games

do you think this is enough to push devs/pubs away from woke games

taxes Sep 3, 2024 12:32 PM games

like enough to convince the market isn't there at all

taxes Sep 3, 2024 12:32 PM games

i feel like there hasn't been a big enough woke "flop"
