I always try to keep my reviews constructive for small devs. So far, they've always appreciated the detailed feedback. I've had a few where I completely changed my reviews after they fixed my complaints and let me know about the update.
after they fixed my complaints and let me know about the update
Patch note for release 0.7.34
- Allow junk loot to be droppable
- Addressed feedback from user Dettweiler42 "This shit game sucks ass!!" to suck 80% less ass
- Removed placeholder mob mechanic when in certain situations
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
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.
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"
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
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.
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 ârejecting wokeismâ.
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.
As of CK3, same sex marriages are allowed with a game setting, and I know same sex affairs were a thing in CK2. Enabling same sex marriages will disable achievements and at first I thought it was about historical accuracy, but it's actually because it trivializes inheritance management.
I like to read the bad reviews. I know everyone has different tastes. A constructive bad review can sell me a game if the things that person didn't like aren't a deal breaker for me.
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.
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.
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?
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
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.
