I think if they had actual badass male characters, hot female characters, and destructible environments with an engaging art-style and unique and fun locations, a hero shooter could work in today's environment. The problem is, no one is making that kind of game.
You also look at absolutely pure-mediocre cash-shop slop like The First Descendant, which does nothing memorable with its asset-flip tier gameplay, but is making Nexon millions of dollars hand-over-fist because all the female characters are interesting and have smoking hot skins, plus the art direction is solid (and the launch trailer here was brilliantly put together: https://youtu.be/UdmgmufAd9Q )
Is that a hero shooter? The advertising I saw made me think it was closer to Destiny.
Yeah you're right, it is definitely more like a Warframe/Destiny clone. But I guess my broader point was that even mediocre games can maintain some measure of popularity if they have the right appeal. I'm pretty sure if Concord had the same characters from The First Descendant with the same skin options, it likely would have done okay.
