I know what it says. I can read.

But you seem to not understand that I don't mind having pre-ordered the gane either way.
What's not to understand about it?

Did you not just try to refute me again because some idiot in the discord said you need to pre order?

The idiot works at Firewalk, or at least he's a mod.

But it doesn't matter to me either way. Again.

 

[Ass of Can Whooping]

The idiot works at Firewalk.

Prove it. Mods aren't employees. Even in official discord servers

 

[Killjoy-NL]

I edited my post, he's a mod.

If you can link me a site to host screenshots, I can link post it here.

Not even sure why I have to prove it.

No need then. He's a mod. Not an employee. His word means fuck all.

There's an open beta, after the early access. Your own source already confirmed that

 

[SidViscous]

The deluxe edition includes:

• 16 character skins.
• Up to 72-Hours Early Access
• Monarch Pack.
• 5 Additional gender pronouns

Any news on the pronouns? xi might have to buy this!

And what if there is?

It doesn't matter to me. At worst I paid €40 for a game that might not be good. Like that's anything new.

 

[JohnnyFootball]

Pay me $39.99 and I might install it.

They said that slippery slopes are logical fallacies.

Yet here we are. It’s 2024 and people are arguing over how to access betas in a game with aliens who can’t decide what their pronouns should be, and robots with pronouns.

It's almost like some people get mad at the fact that I pre-ordered the game. Lol

Who tf really cares?

Did you cancle your preorder yet?

 

[Men_in_Boxes]

You said there would be? You didn’t say there would be, Sony said there would be when they showed all of us preorders were coming.

I said there would be a P2P option and a F2P option.

 

[Killjoy-NL]

Did you cancle your preorder yet?

Why would I?

 

[Rambone]

Hell no.

When it launches in August, Concord will debut in a standard edition (available in both physical and digital versions for $39.99 / £34.99 / €39.99 / ¥4,480 MSRP) that provides the full Concord experience, including all 16 playable Freegunners, 12 unique maps set on various worlds, and six distinct team-based game modes, which will expand shortly after launch with regular, post-launch updates for all players at no additional cost.

Alongside the Standard Edition, we will also have a Digital Deluxe Edition ($59.99 / £49.99 / €59.99 / ¥6,480 MSRP) that includes additional cosmetics to personalize your Freegunner crew and, for those eager to jump in and play, early access to Concord when it launches this August. The Digital Deluxe Edition will grant up to 72 hours of early access before Concord's global launch on August 23. It also includes the Northstar Freegunner's cosmetics pack, which grants you 16 Northstar themed Freegunner outfits; one for each of the 16 playable Freegunners available at launch.

Seeing Vale and the other Freegunners in action in gameplay footage is one thing, but there's no substitute for experiencing the game for yourself. That's why we're hosting a pre-launch beta, simultaneously on PS5 and PC with cross-play support. Those that pre-order will have an opportunity to be among the first to play Concord—and you'll be able to bring your friends.

Pre-ordering any edition of Concord will grant you five codes for our Beta Early Access weekend in July, allowing you to team up with your friends on PS5 and PC and take on rival crews across the galaxy. Stay tuned for more details about the Beta beta in the coming weeks, including the dates of Early Access and Open Beta, and more.

I said there would be a P2P option and a F2P option.

The F2P option will only come long after release if/when the game sinks on charts. Not at all what you were implying.

 

[James Sawyer Ford]

Day 1

 

[Men_in_Boxes]

Word of advice: Take your victory lap AFTER you cross the finish line. This ain't it.

 

[Killjoy-NL]

Did you cancle your preorder yet?

Hey Ass, you were right.

Still leaving my pre-order up though.

 

[TrebleShot]

Steam?

 

[TheThreadsThatBindUs]

At $39.99 this game has a shot at success.

 

[Cyberpunkd]

Ok, so you are saying we should pre-order?

 

[Ass of Can Whooping]

Hey Ass, you were right.

Cancel your fucking pre order

 

[Killjoy-NL]

Cancel your fucking pre order

No.

 

[James Sawyer Ford]

A lot of Overwatches initial appeal was Blizzards great character designs. I’d wager maybe it influenced about 50 percent of the purchase . The rest was the gameplay and references to Team Fortress, potential story etc. Cant say the same with this.

Overwatch character designs look like ass, what are you talking about?

 

[Astray]

People are trying wayyyyy too hard to shit on the game or defend it.

Sometimes you just have to wait for things to play out.

 

[Ribi]

Helldivers or Concord... Decisions decisions

Nah. Shaping the narrative is more fun.

 

[BlackTron]

I love how all my most favorite people on the forum rallied behind this game. Now I have a convenient category to help keep my brain organized, Concord-lovers.

I'm sure gamers are all begging to play a shooter where there's characters that look like a hipster version of Shrek and Hellboy.

They're probably aiming at gen z with this one.

 

[Alebrije]

Concord vs Accord at 40 bucks both.

Easy answer...

 

[StreetsofBeige]

They're probably aiming at gen z with this one.

At least the female sandwiched between them looks normal.

The cover art in the top right corner looks funny too. I dont know what that small orange thing is. Maybe it's a spaceship or drone. But it looks like Hellboy guy is yanking it with a string.

 

[James Sawyer Ford]

Why have two characters that look like shrek and hell boy when you can get them both in one?

 

[Warnen]

 

[Kurotri]

This 3 day early access BS is really getting out of hand. No pre-order = you get to play 3 days late.

 

[Calverz]

 

[Ribi]

You mean Frey from Forspoken?

 

[tmlDan]

Nice, i can play this at the same price my ramen uber eats was yesterday.

 

[Bumblebeetuna]

Word of advice: Take your victory lap AFTER you cross the finish line. This ain't it.

You just said “there is a paid version as I said there would be” when Sony literally put a preorder date in the reveal trailer.

Also, no one cares about this game enough for victory laps.

 

[Ev1L AuRoN]

For US$39 I can buy Helldivers 2, for free I can play Warzone and Fortnite. Hard pass.

If you didn't care you wouldn't be in this thread, i tend to not enter threads about games i don't plan on playing or have no interest in

 

[KXVXII9X]

It will be competing with Star Wars Hunters and Marvel Rivals which are both F2P. If Concord is massively better and more in depth, I could see it winning over the others. From what I saw though, Marvel Rivals seems to look the best out of the bunch. The destruction alone and having familiar characters will put it ahead. Concord needs to set itself apart in some way.

NeoGAF used to have a rule if you’re teasing insider information you need to verify it with a Mod.

[Mercenary09]

They really put rainbow stuff all over the Digital Deluxe version huh. Sony really wants this game to fail

 

[GHG]

At $39.99 this game has a shot at success.

Even if it was free it wouldn't have a chance of success.

 

[{insert code here}]

After it bombas every sales target it'll go F2P and still won't be worth the hard drive space required. Real question is how long before it hits F2P status? I think by EoY or early 2025.

When I showed the gameplay trailer to my 18yo son and asked what he thought about it, he said "okay, just a hero shooter".

He didn't give a single fuck about any Wokeness and didn't even think it was.
My guess is that the vast majority of people are the same and will base judgmement on the beta and previews.

All this knee-jerking is just within echo-chambers on both the Woke and anti-Woke sides.
