Concord Cancelled

[Valestein]

A guy in a wheelchair fighting with something with as low reach as a knife? That's stupid as hell.

You know, seeing all of this puts my own issues into perspective.

I have a profound physical disability. If you saw me walking down the street you'd know I was not normal. There is no avoiding it. Having half your face just be a blank sheet ain't easy to ignore.

I'll be honest, I'd like to see more of my own issues represented. I appreciate that. I like when games let me have a missing eye, or crooked nose.

You know what else I appreciate? People, including people with profound disabilities, making an effort to beautify themselves. I may have my issues, but I still present myself like a man who cleans up after himself with a well-kept beard, curly blonde hair and blemish-free skin (the Daggerfall portrait is actually a pretty good caricature of how I actually look). I do get the occassional look from girls and have been called ruggedly handsome by past relationships.

The same goes for women. In college I met a girl with my same syndrome. She was very cute and did a fantastic job working around her issues without hiding them like an ashamed freak.

What Concord fails to understand, as do most of these "artists" is that being different isn't being ugly. People with half their face missing can still look good and generally try to. Not having someone make an effort to be presentable then calling it bigotted to call it out is deeply insulting on a personal level.

Because the goal isn't acceptation of people who deviate from the norm. This is about spouting the superiority of the differences, and how that which is perceived to be the norm is bad and should be done away with. Look at how stunning and brave they are, standing proud despite their shortcomings. You as a person who does not have these shortcomings would have been broken and miserable in their place, but look how great they are! They are lion, hear them roar!

This means that these deviations have become a thing to aspire to, to become them for social capital. Look at those studies where large chunks of school kids identify as some sort of offbrand sexuality not because that's what they are, but because they want to fit in by being different. And while this pertains to sexuality, there have been wackjobs who identify as "trans-disabled" and mutilate themselves so they can be disabled.

The downside to this is that the massive push for this diversity in gaming, the opposite has been reached. Nowadays if you see a character in a wheelchair, with a prosthetic, some kind of mental disorder or especially vitiligo, people immediately roll their eyes and deep it to be woke crap. Which it almost always is. Hell, Rainbow Six: Siege introduced a special forces operative who is in a wheelchair, and instead sends robots into the field (which raises all sorts of questions for Siege) in her stead. In D&D it is a mechanically superior choice to play a character that's in a wheelchair because of how powerful they made wheelchairs to handle having to go into dungeons and fight dragons.

Its an issue with both intent and presentation imho.

Both of these characters are disabled and part of fantasy settings but one looks cool and the other looks ridiculous:

Again, why to cater to small percentage of people who are crippled. Holy shit. I mean it would make more sense if they made 300lb mamas boy class with cheeto covered fingers used as a catalyst for spells, which would cover large portion of US population at least.

Also in a fucking fantasy you can have like a golem carrying you as a mage, you could levitate. PROSTHETICS. As a necromancer you could bound a skeleton to your body and animate it to use it as exosuit. But no. They fucking made a wheelchair. It basically shows total lack of imagination. Fuck'em.

Anything allowing one to solve the issue would go against the prog message that a cripple can do everything just as fine as anyone else. Same reason why troons exist now in DnD even though there are spells and magical items in that setting that could gender flip them instantly.

The funny thing is that they aren't even pandering to invalids (because, as you say, they are too small a fraction of the population) and retardation like this is likely to just piss them off instead. In reality, they're pandering to other libshits just like them. It's virtue signalling.

Again, why to cater to small percentage of people who are crippled.

You have to understand that it isn't about crippled people, or gay people, or trannies. Those are just the crowbar used to break open and destroy hobbies "they" don't like.

Mentally ill, broken people who hate all that is good in life and seek to destroy it.

Melkor spent his spirit in envy and hate, until at last he could make nothing save in mockery of the thought of others, and all their work he destroyed if he could.

 

[Valestein]

A proper cripple in vidya, missing an arm and an eye but still prime waifu material.

 

[Thalstarion]

The awful character designs are a humiliation ritual. They went out of their way to have any conventionally attractive white men (or women) as well despite that being something that has broad appeal not only in America and Europe but places like Japan, China and the Middle East.

 

[Elttharion]

Yeah, but then you need to play guilty queer

 

[Valestein]

The Concord discord is wild, whining about youtubers shitting on the game, whining about Call of Duty and talking about using their refunds to buy the next bit of slop from Firewalk (i like the assumption that there'll be another one).

This is the youtuber and his video that they're bitching about btw:

He says hero shooters are stale but with exception of Overwatch there is no relevant hero shooter in the market (Paladins was pretty much abandoned). Then he says at least Deadlock is innovating by taking inspiration from MOBAs but Smite did the same thing 10 years ago.

 

[Thalstarion]

In all honesty they'll never 'get it' because they're dysgenic and simply do not view the world around them through a sane lens.

These are the same people who will look at a nice photograph of the British countryside and begin seething because there's too many fair skinned people and too much nature that hasn't yet been bulldozed and replaced with soulless concrete buildings.

They have no concept of beauty, aesthetics and a blatant out-group preference whether they belong to it or not. So they'll continue to lash out and blame everyone but the development team for the game being a complete and utter joke.

She wouldn't be able to unsheathe that katana with one arm on the same side.

He does seem quite ignorant.

Overwatch's success is also vastly overstated almost everywhere. It had no legs after the initial draw of the old-Blizzard designs (see below the leaked project Titan MMO roster they recycled) and the whole "esports franchise ecosystem" they really heavy-handedly tried to force, left a smoldering crater worth of over 500 million dollars. Massive failure and nobody plays the game anymore.

It is no wonder these games keep flopping when the game they are trying to emulate was very mediocre to begin with.

Spoiler that shit next time

 

[911 Jumper]

I didn't even know Fairgame$ existed until I saw this thread. What an awful name, and the game itself looks like something related to Watch Dogs 2 or 3. You can really see the “made by ex-Ubisoft staff” in that trailer.

 

[darkpatriot]

This one looks even worse, it has that "capitalism bad," "eat the rich," vibe that wokies love:

I like how the anti-capitalist message is that the poors fight and kill each other over a bit of the rich people's stuff.

 

[Valestein]

This is what concord lead artist tranny think of you

No games to buy made by you that's for certain. Meanwhile games like this made for a fraction of the cost of the slop you did are vastly outperforming you.



And yes, a microscopic cartoon pig is better designed than your fat black lesbian characters.

 

[Valestein]

Guess what, my waifu does just that.

 

[Wasteland]

This is what concord lead artist tranny think of you

Yeah, apart from the ~30,000 games that are already out there, half of which are available more or less for free, nearly all of which can be downloaded at a moment's notice without leaving my chair, and a large plurality of which are vastly superior to any AAA product in 2024.

The entire corporate game-development industry could be annihilated tomorrow--though I strongly encourage people here not to over-indulge this thought; masturbation is bad for you--and I'd still have enough games to fill three lifetimes.

Don't threaten me with a good time, Amanda.

 

[ferratilis]

This bitch thinks all developers share her worldview, what an idiot lol. There will always be based devs like Styg or Vavra. Better to have one good game a year than a dozen of these AAAA turds.

Even if there's nothing new to get, my backlog is long enough to keep me busy for a decade. Eat shit, Amanda.

 

[Silvanus]

Hell, Rainbow Six: Siege introduced a special forces operative who is in a wheelchair, and instead sends robots into the field (which raises all sorts of questions for Siege) in her stead.

In a universe with walking battle bots they could've just given her cybernetic legs, but that wouldn't virtue signal loudly enough so I guess every Siege map will have to be designed with wheelchair accessibility in mind from now on.

 

[Clockwork Knight]

Even that image alone is retarded... Demonic cripple there has zero chance against either of his opponents, since their weapons have longer reach, they can lunge, and the cripple can't dodge. Of all the possible weapons to give to someone in a wheelchair, they gave him one of the least suitable ones. Should've given him a ranged weapon or even made his wheelchair a mobile cannon he can shoot or something, or just given him a lance so he can get rollin' and impale whatever's in front of him, but no, they gave him a fucking dirk.

He has chakrams that come back, basic attack is with a rapier though.
