I had a dev respond to me 5+ years after a review saying they had fixed the problems I mentioned. Now I have to download the game and play it again or I have no balls. God damn devs holding us accountable.

I left a negative review on a "AAA" game and the dev responded to it by gas lighting me that I didn't play it right.

TL;DR starfield sucks

[–] [email protected] 5 points 5 days ago

Lol I was just going to bring that up

Reminds me of when someone left a leaf-blowing simulator a review "can't sex the leaves" and it caused the dev to make a sex update to a leaf blowing simulator

[–] [email protected] 37 points 6 days ago (1 children)

Outrageous! It's terrible what people can force devs to do. I would like to apologize for my fellow human's behavior personally; can you give me the name of the game and/or a download link? Or at least some screenshots, so I can, uh, be further outraged.

[–] [email protected] 14 points 6 days ago* (last edited 6 days ago)

Ok

But reviews on game like that are totally warranted as look what their CEO (Chief Exploitation Officer) Said

[–] [email protected] 10 points 6 days ago (1 children)

Dose it actually add a new way to blow the leafs?

[–] [email protected] 65 points 6 days ago (1 children)

For a laugh, review games on Google Play. The asinine responses you get...

The most ridiculous one was for a pay-to-win bullethell game WITH NO BULLETS. You literally just effortlessly shot at enemies with virtually no way to die. But you could pay stupid sums of money for a better ship which killed enemies faster.

The dev's response to my review calling their game overpriced and boring? "Join the discord so you can get tips from top players"

[–] [email protected] 29 points 6 days ago (2 children)

Well we need an update.... Did you join? Did you get any good tips?????

[–] [email protected] 7 points 5 days ago

The tip is: Buy the bigger ship.

They are now a top player. TOP. PLAYER.

time spent in game when making a review: 600 hours.

I hate this game.

time spent in game after the review was written: 1400 hours.

I was thinking more in line with Paradox games, but your version works too.

Every MMO on steam is at mixed with negative reviews from 1000 hour players lol. Stop doing this to yourselves!

i got in a fight with a small-time dev when they implemented marriages in a rogue like and allowed child marriages but not gay or interracial marriages

long story short the community exploded and he went full nazi on twitter and now the reviews are actually more positive but from 4chan weirdos calling child marriages based

[–] [email protected] 4 points 4 days ago

Yes. That dev is changing the WORLD by fighting against all the woke jealous stupid libs who think you shouldn't be able to marry a child.

Smh. I'm so sick of these straight white dude Nazis acting like they are fighting thousands of years of oppression.

[–] [email protected] 8 points 5 days ago* (last edited 5 days ago)

did they literally just imply that adding same sex marriages that the user has to initiate is the same as living under nazis?

My grandparents survived the nazis, my parents endured communism, I had to live through religious oppression since the age of 10, and now some spoiled brats think bend my knee to their rainbow flag, or else they'll type some words.

[–] [email protected] 22 points 6 days ago

What game was that!? Why does a roguelike even have marriage lmao

At this point it's "unmoderated comments section" moment. Pretty much all public spaces are infested with this stuff now.

[–] [email protected] 5 points 5 days ago

Not a great article. While it was mostly objective about the situation, it did not quote anyone but the developer, giving him complete control over the narrative, and links to many other articles about “rejecting wokeism”.

[–] [email protected] 3 points 5 days ago

This was in 2016. But there was a indie game from a small dev in a European country that allowed backers to name NPCs, and there were some racist names. I called that out in my review, and the Dev went, "It's not racist here in my country."

That led to a back and forth on the Steam forum which I got banned. Then I shared it on Reddit, but was stupid to use the same steam name as my twitter name and got a lot of toxic shit.

I changed my steam name and tossed my twitter account, so no idea what happened, nor do I remember the game.

To be fair it could also be league of legends or destiny 2

Haha thank you!

I will say that games aren't static any more so there are legitimate reasons why this might occur. For instance, I had over 100 hours in a game and then the devs decided they liked money more than their player base so they retroactively added a bunch of micro-transactions to the game. The game had been fully released at this point and they just updated it to milk more money out of their player base. Bad updates can ruin the experience in what had once been a good game.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 5 days ago

Why are you conflating time in a game with the game being good?

Once I reviewed a $3 game and got the dev to add the frog character in the sequel lol

Me, when Bethesda replies to a negative review:

[–] [email protected] 5 points 5 days ago (1 children)
[–] [email protected] 33 points 5 days ago (1 children)

The joke is that people (including the main character/OP) feel comfortable criticizing others when those others don't know about the criticism, but as soon as they do, the anti-confrontational/cowardly/etc. part of them immediately regrets being critical.

When it's "the" dev, give them a break.

[–] [email protected] 12 points 6 days ago (2 children)

Steam reviews are very important, even big studios like bethesda reply to negative reviews.

Gta 5 doesn't allow linux users to play online anymore. Everyone from the linux community shat on them, especially because it was one of the top played games on deck. Where are my rockstar replies?

[–] [email protected] 18 points 6 days ago (1 children)

Rockstar is just asleep on the big pile of money that they got from the 100 people that bought shark cards every month since the release of GTAO and RDRO
