DOA. I can’t get over how every hero has their pronouns displayed prominently by their name and role. A part of me really thought it might have been internet trolls memeing.

Yeah according to SteamDB, Concord peaked at just over 1000 players on PC. That's horrible even for a paid access beta. We'll see how it performs during the open beta period this weekend but I think it's obvious Sony made a mistake by charging money for this game (or even making it to begin with).

One of the only things I haven’t liked about my PS5 is the standard controller has bad battery life. Should I upgrade to the Dualsense Edge?
Does it have better battery life? I don’t think it does, other than being a new battery I think it’s on par

That’s too bad. The battery life on my Xbox elite controller is phenomenal

When did you get your DS? Newer models (purple and later) have better batteries in them than previous models, at least.

I don't have one. Was thinking about upgrading because I like my xbox elite controller so much. It's heavier and I like the more metallic triggers and joysticks
Tbh I used to clown Xbox for not including a battery but i now realize it’s like a thousand times better. You can just buy a 20+ hour battery and swap batteries.

If you like your Elite controller that much, you could just buy a Brooks adapter and use the Elite on PS5. I do for shooters all the time. Just need a PC or Xbox for the app to configure the buttons, trigger sensitivity, stick accel, etc.
Lot cheaper than buying an Edge too.

I've never heard of this. What is it? It looks like Overwatch, and nobody's cared about that for ages. Why would anyone care about a bad copy of something that stopped being popular years ago?

Overwatch actually still does good numbers.
Not like, world-dominating numbers like they used to, but that's as much a result of the terrible Overwatch 2 launch as it is the arrival of Valorant.
Concord, however, looks uninspired as hell. And yes, it's basically a Overwatch-style hero shooter, but they're pushing the idea of weekly 'story' to make you care about....stuff?
It's a terrible idea that's going to be dead on arrival.
Overwatch 2 is doing so bad they're legit looking at ways to re-incorporate 6 v 6 because they've driven away a good chunk of their tank playerbase.
(i personally never thought the core idea of 6v6 was the problem, it was the way some tanks synergized turning the game into a crawl that was the issue)

Overwatch has 30k concurrent players on Steam right now (39th on the chart). There are probably many players still on Battle.net as well. I consider that pretty good for an 8 year old game.

tbf I based my Overwatch assessment on the odd youtube recommendation I get saying it's dead/dying/Activision killed it/etc. I know the switch to 2 has been less than smooth. I don't really get why companies try to enter established genres like this. Never mind whatever that video was supposed to show off.

Changing features and mechanics isn't exactly indicative of a game in its death throws.
Overwatch 2 is doing poorly compared to the peak of Overwatch, absolutely, but it's still getting a ton of players across all platforms and making a ton of profit every month, because Blizzard spent damn near nothing making it. Overwatch 2 was barely an expansion pack.
I have no doubt Blizzard and Microsoft would like it to do better, but it's hardly dying.
I think, to date, it's the 2nd most played (and most watched, if that matters) hero shooter behind Valorant.

Concord doing sackboy numbers on steam, ngl 500 players is way better than I expected. Thought we were getting a babylons fall tier flop.

Not my kind of game but it shouldn't be 40 dollars. Should be at most 20 if not FTP if they want to build any kind of audience and keep it.
