Asmongold says Concord belongs in gaming\u2019s \u201cHall of Shame\u201d with ET and Superman 64 Asmongold\/ConcordAsmongold didn\u2019t hold back on Concord, calling it \u201ctrash\u201d and placing it in gaming\u2019s \u201cHall of Shame\u201d alongside infamous failures like E.T. and Superman 64. According to Asmongold, a \u201chigh triple-digit amount of people\u201d will be fired over PlayStation\u2019s Concord shutting down. He didn\u2019t hide his satisfaction either, stating, \u201cA lot of people are very happy about this, myself included. The game looked like trash, and that\u2019s what happens.\u201d Asmongold has been vocal about his disdain for Concord for a while now. In a previous video, he ridiculed the game\u2019s character designs, calling it \u201cOverwatch for chubby chasers\u201d and ridiculing its UI saying he\u2019s seen mobile games with better UI. After hearing about Concord\u2019s downfall in a PlayStation blog post by Game Director Ryan Ellis, Asmongold quickly compared it to some of the biggest disasters in gaming history, like E.T. and Superman 64. Back in 1999, Superman 64 failed miserably due to awful controls, ugly graphics masked by fog, and mind-numbing repetitive gameplay. A weak plot and technical glitches cemented its status as a notorious flop in gaming history. E.T. the Extra-Terrestrial, on the other hand, flopped spectacularly due to a rushed five-week development, frustrating gameplay, and clunky controls. Its disastrous reception played a key role in the 1983 video game crash, turning it into a famous cautionary tale in gaming history. Concord, which Asmongold deems worthy of the Hall of Shame, sold fewer than 25,000 copies according to reports and peaked at just 700 players on Steam. \u201cConcord will have a rightful place in the pantheon of game failures,\u201d he said. \u201cIt\u2019s a monumental, catastrophic failure that\u2019ll be remembered for years to come.\u201d The future is uncertain for Concord\u2019s developer, Firewalk Studios. With such a disastrous launch and Asmongold\u2019s harsh words echoing through the gaming community, it remains to be seen if they\u2019re given a second chance to make something great.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
