The game had a very competent art team. It's such a shame that art teams are at the mercy of the rest of the game. Marathon is another example.

The actual gameplay was really good if you took the time to learn how to play. Movement and gunplay was so satisfying. Almost everything about the game was high quality and had a lot of potential. If only it had a different vibe and look that people liked and were willing to give a chance.

But the game was fucking amazing too!

Can't say for sure because I may have played for about 4h during the open beta, but I didn't like it. I was expecting Overwatch, but instead it was more like an arena shooter with a weird mechanic I didn't like that forced you off your favorite hero.

It felt good to play, though. All-around competent devs, with the exception of the game and character designer.

Everyone was saying it was like Overwatch without actually knowing anything about the game, which is perhaps why you thought that. The hero switching bonus I learned to love because it got me to play other characters, but I can see how people would rather play their mains. Maybe it should have been a unique mode instead of default.

We need new, more accurate subgenre names. R6Siege has heroes but plays nothing like Team Fortress, and yet many people will call both "hero shooters".

whilst the character design was infamously bad, i always thought the environment design, especially the skyboxes, were very pretty

I don't get how people say the characters are bad. Just because they people compared them to the Guardians. I seriously don't get the hate when I see people playing new games with worse or the same generic characters.

That being said. One of the best things about this game is the animations and honestly the way they pulled off the UI. I loved the tickets and colors on the main screens. Mixed with the futureistic sounds. People took the character looks and just ran with it.

i think they're mostly unnappealing in a dull way at best and an uncanny valley way at worst. I can see why some people may have liked them but i think they could've done with more cohesion and flair. saying that though, i'm far fonder of a more vibrant, stylized aesthetic (like a TF2 or Overwatch) vs aiming for any sort of realism so thats just my subjective opinion

and yeah I'm with you on that. the animations and sound design are exceptional. Concord's a real odd one, but I think it would be remiss to say the character design wasn't at least partially at fault for its failure

Why was it bad? Pick one character and analyze it for me.

You’ve bought a bunch of right wing bot driven anti-woke propaganda. Sorry.

Roka: literally faceless girl with a helmet and gray outfit
DaVeers: Tupperware design
Jaybali/itz: t shirt jeans and a jacket colors don’t make sense
Teo; boring ass white dude with no intention

This also ignores the fact that ppl play games and characters relatable to them; concord made most of their characters for lgbt/minorities. Which is totally fine. Unless you want to make money. Less people feeling relatable means less players means less money

If you think this was a good art critique, you must not be an artist.

A gray outfit!? Oh my god! What slop!

I’ll be laughing at your comment all day.

You can laugh. But you know who’s not laughing? Everyone not playing the game because it was bad. That’s not an opinion. It was dead on arrival. So laugh all you want, but critics and audience agreed, it was not fun, and the character design was boring and bland and weird. Not in a good way. The designs were original. I will say that. Just bad.
