Concord is Sony's biggest failure in gaming history.

Didnt the guy from IGN Italy literally say the character didn't look anything like a real woman? And the guy from digital foundry said she looked unrealistic? I never actually heard people complaining about the outfits, thought I suspect they did. But I think to say people weren't complaining about how she looked is not accurate. This is really the only forum I get on (I read comments on IGN and PushSquare I guess) so I'm probably not a great witness to the larger audience.

I hadn't seen these comments beforehand. 

It was apparently Eurogamer, not Digital Foundry. 

This gets to what I saying in the last sentence in my post above though. Is it a common issue? Or is it just a few cherry picked people expressing it? 

Like I said before, you can find someone saying literally anything. That doesn't mean those are widely expressed views. 

And vice versa. The fact that I haven't seen people/have seen very few people make those complaints also doesn't mean it's not a common complaint people have. It's just not my understanding of the issue at hand here. 

We are all in our own bubbles. Its pretty easy for stuff to be missed and it's also pretty easy for misunderstandings to happen. 

I do try to get out of my bubble, and check to see what r/conservative and other conservatives groups think of things. And sometimes it seems like they make a big deal out of things I don't think are important, or they have a wildly different interpretation of what something meant. (Like how someone could argue that "eat the rich" literally means they want to eat Bill Gates and co. Even though the vast majority of left wingers would understand that it's not literal). 

I dont go anywhere on reddit, and recently made a list of things to do to hopefully make myself "happier". One was less politics, and one was more video games (which is why i've been posting again). 

Anyway, the comments by the IGN Italy guy saying the model wasn't realistic, followed by the backlash that it WAS a real woman was the loudest conversation I heard about the game. Hard to believe you never heard that if you follow gaming, but I'll take your word for it. Maybe it was only on X/Twitter and gaming website comments you dont read. It was everywhere I looked though. I think the model even had to turn off her instagram or X or something? Impacted her somehow I think.

Wish they would've put as much attention to her personality in the game to how she looked, otherwise the game was pretty decent.
