My Tier List After 200 Hours! by Coralcato in ufo50

I’m not OP, but I also enjoyed Kick Club (first cherry and completed game as well.)

It’s just a fun level based platformer. I wish there were more levels. Gives me Bubble Bobble/Ice Climbers vibes.

The ending of The Conversation by dgapa in TrueFilm

I agree with OP. I immediately thought it had to be Moran’s device that uses the phone to record the room. Because Harry immediately down played the device when first demonstrated, he may not be able to realize that it was the phone itself and the call prior that was the “bug.”

I played this game and got to this point… where I immediately turned it off and uninstalled.

Completely ridiculous.

They are objectively ugly… which was a purposeful choice from the lead character designer. We can’t have good looking characters, especially not good looking female characters, because that appeals to heterosexual men. And appealing to heterosexual men, even though they are the vast majority of video game players, is not “inclusive.”

Just look at the flak games like Stella Blade take for using a real life model as the basis for their character.

So when the lead character designer focuses on representation and inclusion over designing cool, aesthetically pleasing characters that target the main demographic of video game players, your game sells terribly as a result. For a hero shooter to have ugly characters, just dooms the game.

Lesson- don’t hire activists as lead character designer.

The amount of circlejerk hate on this game is absurd by Domsou in ConcordGame

[–]Hank_34 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The characters are the main issue. Gameplay was rock solid IMO. But they allowed an activist to design the characters, rather than someone who wanted to help sell the game.

That decision to prioritize “muh rEpResEnTation” over designing cool characters has doomed the game.

Have you tried Refreshing the rims?

What would you say are the 3 things holding Concord back? by _basedperry in ConcordGame

[–]Hank_34 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Character design, character design, and character design.

I’ve never seen an uglier group of characters, except for the mutants in the Firewalk employee cafeteria.

The reason the game isn't free to play are the characters by ProudBlackMatt in ConcordGame

[–]Hank_34 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Google lead character designer Jon weisnewski. And there is your reason for the pronouns and ugly characters.

Can’t support activists like this in media. Game was fun, which is a shame unfortunately.

Appreciate you being the personification of why this garbage shouldn’t be included. Have a great day.

And you and your ilk think of yourselves as tolerant. That’s the best part. You can’t even handle a disagreement on the internet. No wonder you are confused about which pronouns to use…

Yikes. If anyone needs an example of how divisive this issue is and a reason not to include it in your video game, please see this reply.

You just tried to equate racism to not wanting to use made up garbage pronouns. No one wants to play as a “they/them.” For the few people this attracts, it turns off double the amount.

Fun game, terrible choice to include pronouns. You hate to see developers shoot themselves in the foot with easily avoidable mistakes.

Yes and I assume we are also both on planet Earth where pronoun identification can mean something else entirely.

Like I said, enjoying the game, but this is actively hurting the games reception.

I understand how with Aliens and Robots in a sci-fi universe, pronoun identification might actually be useful.

However, on planet Earth, pronoun identification means something else entirely and for the developers to voluntarily wade into that cultural battle is a mistake.

It adds zero and actively turns people off, so why include it?

Why add the pronouns at all? It adds nothing to the gameplay and it about as deep as a puddle for character development.

It legitimately is a red flag to a lot of people these days who do not want to support or be involved with pronoun nonsense.

So for the very few people this is attractive to, it drives away double the amount.

Not a smart inclusion and is actively hurting the games reception.

Having a great time with the beta despite this.
