IC tiou (@tiou) about Concord on Indicator: "Ouch! Concord seems to be one of the biggest gaming flops of the century. 🫠 According to rumours, Sony might've spent equal sum on their new $40 her..." (2024)

Ouch! Concord seems to be one of the biggest gaming flops of the century. 🫠According to rumours, Sony might've spent equal sum on their new $40 hero shooter Concord as they usually do on other first-party titles such as Horizon series and The Last of Us.That means up to $200 million USD in budjet. 💥 It has also been in development for approximately 8 years according to the developer.Well that would surely be fine if there were even a fraction of the number of players that these other titles have. Unfortunately, Concord was able to attract less than 700 concurrent players at launch and now the number seems to be 60.. 😬I am really curious on how the publisher decided to go "all-in" on such a risky-sounding product. 🤔 At least it seems to address important social injustice issues so there's that 👍#Concord #Trigger #Sony #PlayStation #Flop #AAA

Recently there was a new discovery in Diablo IV!https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=U9rykU4VjR8A player found a new in-game item called "Ring of Misfortune" by first receiving a Lucky Coin from a dead body in Scosglen. He then threw the coin in a wishing well found in the area and after a meteor rain, it appeared.It seems to have okayish stats, but it has a lucky hit chance to reduce all of your resource pool. 😄 And that's not all. It cannot be sold, traded or destroyed so it will remain on your character for good.Is this continuation for the cow level in Dialbo 4? We do not know yet, but I'm eager to see what follows. That's not surely the whole story!

So, I've been playing the new wipe a little again in Escape From Tarkov. Couldn't resist the temptation even though BSG & Nikita have done some questionable decisions during the previous wipe. 🙄 It's been as fun as usual. Quite a few nice-to-have updates, such as the new boss Partisan (pictured), cultist circle in your hideout to receive useful items through sacrifice and the newly revamped factory map. ✨This is the first time for me to try out the updated armor system and it feels better. A nice balance between the old "strong" armor system but with more variability. 👍Still, I was one-tapped to armpit by the Partisan even though I haven't even decreased my karma by hiding in the bushes! 🤯 The point of him is that he hunts down campers that have continuously been hiding in the bushes. There's a separate karma system for that. 😆 So there is the armpit hitbox but I think it's much smaller than before.Factory seems quite fresh and more interesting with the new additions. It's less linear but still well-recognizable. I was able to kill Tagilla and found out he had a new Viibiin sneaker in his backpack. A new streamer item for Kappa container quest, Collector, I'd assume? 🤔There's the marathon mode too, which allows you to travel directly between maps without going to hideout in-between. Apparently you're able to stash items in-between, but I haven't tried that mode yet. There are plenty of new quests for that mode only.That's pretty much it. Otherwise pretty similar stuff than before.I'll report back once I have more to say! 👋 #EscapeFromTarkov #EFT #BSG #BattleStateGames #Nikita #Trainfender #Wipe #Partisan #Armpit #WelcomeToTarkov #tarkoved (image credit: BattleState Games)

I got Gilded Platelegs from a Hard Clue Scroll in OSRS! 💥They're worth approximately 7 million, but more importantly, they are one of the mega-rare drops from clues.The chance to receive them is 1/35,750 and this is the first mega-rare item between hard, elite and master clues I've received. 👍The collection log for the mega-rares is basically impossible to complete. Nobody has been able to do it yet as the rarest items, AKA 3rd age items, have a drop rate between 1/211,250 and 1/313,168 depending on the tier of the clue. And there are quite many of them, some of which can only drop from Master Clues.#OSRS #OldSchoolRuneScape #Jagex #Gilded #Clues #TreasureTrails #ClueScroll #HardClue #RewardCasket #MegaRare #UltraRare #Stonks

🔥 Diablo 4 Season 5: A Hellishly Good Time! 🔥I’ve been diving into Diablo 4’s Season 5 a bit, and it seems like they've really improved the already-good Season 4! 😈The new features are an absolute blast. Especially the Infernal Hordes, which is also the new end-game content in addition to Artificers' Pit from Season 4.From the fresh content and lore to the tweaks in gameplay mechanics, Blizzard has really outdone themselves this time.The balance changes have added more depth to different character builds, making more classes and specs usable and more impactful. 🛡️💥 World bosses are no longer oneshottable, which makes them feel more meaningful and it seems like better loot is now easier to get, but still nowhere near easy. It takes probably hundreds of hours to find your best-in-slot gear if you're looking to min-max your character. 🕒 There is also guaranteed Greater Affix items in the Infernal Hordes after Tier 6, which is really good compared to last season's RNG-fest. 🍀 Plus, the new cosmetics are 🔥—my character has never looked better!If you haven’t jumped into Season 5 yet, I'd argue you’re missing out as a Diablo fan. Can’t wait to see what the rest of the season has in store in terms of events and loooot! 😎 #Diablo4 #Season5 #seasonoftheinfernalhordes #Gaming #Blizzard #ARPG #hordes

⚠️ Tarkov Profiles Wiped in Major Technical Malfunction ⚠️Again, sh*t happens in the world of Tarkov. 💩 Escape from Tarkov players are reeling after a massive technical malfunction wiped out profiles across the globe. 😱 Battlestate Games confirmed that this isn’t part of any planned event or wipe—just an unexpected bug that’s left players locked out of the game and, for many, starting from scratch.Players are reporting their accounts being reset mid-raid, losing all progress, gear, and even years of stats. With the planned wipe coming soon, the community is urging Battlestate to hit the reset button early and move forward with the update.Battlestate has acknowledged the issue, stating:📝 "As a result of a technical malfunction there was a loss of part of the game profiles data. It is not possible to restore profiles in a short period of time. All players whose profiles have been affected will receive proportional in-game compensation in a short period of time."Apparently, they do not consider it as massive disaster as it is because the wipe is nearing its end now in August (hopefully). 🫠This is what user /u/Arabeska claimed to have received in Reddit earlier today with the following title "Holy f*** All skills maxed, reputation maxed and sh*tload of cash..." 🤯 #EscapeFromTarkov #GamingNews #Tarkov #GameUpdate #bug #disaster #bsg #battlestategames #eft #gamebreaking #wipeonthursday

🎮 Counter-Strike 2 Update: Game-Changing Crates on Dust 2! 🧱Attention, CS veterans and rookies alike! The latest update to Counter-Strike 2 has introduced some new crates just outside the CT spawn on Dust 2, and they could be a game-changer! 🚀These crates, placed strategically near bombsite A, allow Counter-Terrorists to hop up to the catwalk without needing a boost from a teammate. This tweak could significantly shift the balance on this historically Terrorist-sided map. 🗺️Why does this matter? Well, for starters, it means CTs can rotate and defend more effectively, potentially shaking up the meta. No more getting stuck in spawn behind a wall of smoke—these crates offer new opportunities for quick plays and creative strategies. 💡Whether you're a seasoned player or just dabbling in CS2, keep an eye on how the pros adapt to this change. It could lead to some exciting new tactics and highlights in the coming matches! 🔥#CS2 #Dust2 #GamingUpdate #FPSGaming #Esports(Image credit: Rock Paper Shotgun/Valve)

🚨 Fallout: London - Held Together with Duct Tape? 🛠️Fallout: London, the ambitious mod that lets you explore a post-apocalyptic version of the UK, has been making waves—not just for its impressive scope but also for its bugs! 😅Since its release, players have faced some serious challenges, like the infamous "train crash" bug that not only crashes the game but halves your HP. Ouch. 💥Dean Carter, the project lead, opened up about these surprises: "You put your heart and soul into anything, and eventually, you sort of realize, no matter how hard you've worked, everything's held together with duct tape." 🧰Despite the hiccups, Team FOLON is working hard on a hotfix, and they're not shying away from addressing the issues head-on. In the meantime, if you're brave enough to dive into the mod, make sure to check out their Solutions Megathread to avoid common pitfalls. 🧩It's been a bumpy ride, but Carter admits that overall, the launch has been more successful than expected.
