I don’t get that amount of frustration. The zoo game from frontier that I bought years ago still get updated with new free content here and there. Sure there are DLC but you can perfectly play the initial game without any of them, or get them on a sale. Isn’t it ?

There is the summary of the review notes and the evolution over time. Then there is the text comments associated to the notes which is sorted by helpfulness. To me this is a good system and by browsing 2-3 pages of reviews I think I get an accurate idea. I think I never got misleaded by a game with overwhelming positive reviews rating. Of course there are still players with 1000 hours in the games giving 0 stars review with comment « this game bad » but there are also plenty of useful reviews.

When I see a game on sales on the Epic store, I first go to the steam reviews before deciding. I don’t think I’m the only one doing that.

These days nothing good comes from gaming platforms that have user reviews.

I disagree, users review on Steam is really helping me before buying a game.

If everyone was following your path, micro transactions wouldn’t be there anymore.

I had the same confusion reading that recommendation. Seems to check all the red flags based on that sentence.

Don’t be sorry for asking, he should be sorry for using acronyms.

AI saying AI is bad.

Isn’t Musk all for free speech ?

I don’t know where you’re from but in my European country the banks are actually verifying if you are able to reimburse and you cannot borrow above some threshold. Maybe that explains why the prices increases are lower here ?

Why does every client needs to compile them ? Couldn’t they compile the shaders maybe once per graphic card model and push those already compiled assets into the GPU ?

Correct, thanks for clarifying.

I use brave or Firefox + uBlock. Never see any ad.

You’re the actual proof that unpopular opinion does not result in downvotes to oblivion.

From now on : « remember that guy who said he LIKED Starfield… »

I like both switch pro and Xbox controller. But I hate how the A/B/X/Y are inverted between the Nintendo and Microsoft controllers…

Who the fuck validated the bright idea in a management meeting : let’s outsource the mobile project to that Chinese company which produced those trash games ? Those people need to be fired like yesterday. Crazy how a company can sabotage itself…

It’s not the devs who are to blame for this fiasco. The management who pushed for releasing unfinished product is. There were some people sitting in a meeting room who decided that it was a good idea to publish a worthless DLC. Change is needed at management level.

The apology looks like honest but some part of me feels like they are sorry because their strategy for ripping our wallets did not work as expected.

I’m not planning to buy any Paradox game in the future.
