At nearly 20k ratings, the consensus is that this is the worst game on the site
Finally, others see what I've seen a decade ago
(That is, Blizzard's gone to shit)
press S to spit
Activision merge was just the beginning of the end
It became very apparent once the initial enthrallment with Cataclysm and new storylines passed.
And once you did some googling
And then you of course had Triablo
Well, I enjoyed Diablo 3.. but it's more because I was - and still am - interested in how that world develops.
Nonetheless I will not preorder anything as a rule anymore.
Triablo is, in most aspects, a complete antithesis of Diablo
There's actually a program that can help you auto-build images in those emblem makers
Disregard EU4
Acquire HoI4
Disregard D3
Acquire PoE
Disregard D3, replay DII for the 80th time
yandere dev is the developer of yandere simulator and he is notriously toxic, lazy and doesnt like it if you critizise him
well considering how long it takes him to make a game
@MS There's a history of people going onto his server and doing speedruns to get banned
the record is like 3 seconds, I think
So I posted Arch's video on "why review bombing is a moral good" in a different server and asked for peoples thoughts on the matter. I got a very interesting response from one lad which seems to firmly rebuttel Arch's claim, but im curious to know what you guys think; Does he have a point or is Arch correct in his statement rhat it is a moral good? The guys response was as follows: " "Surely, that's just an angry mob, right? People screeching on the internet. Surely, we shouldn't encourage that kind of behaviour." - Yes, there you go, nailed it in the first minute of the video. That's exactly what it is and he nails the central reason behind it too - it's not that the people review bombing don't have a voice or that they can't vote with their wallet, it's that they're not happy with the voice/power they have, in their opinion it should carry much more weight. Who cares if it's 1,000 of them and 10,000 or 100,000 other people think the game is good or merely mediocre, it's THEIR voice that matters. You think a game is a 5, give it a 5 and explain why. You genuinely think a game is a 1, give it a 1 and explain why. Give your actual, original opinion, don't regurgitate someone else's brainfart. Most bomb reviews aren't even informative in the least, it's just some copy pasta about imaginary issues or a meaningless "don't buy" or "trash" comment. Hell, some aren't even by people playing the game or remotely interested in the game. Moral good my arse! "
My response would be that when something genuinely pisses you off, you have the right to retaliate against a company with all the power you can muster.
For example, if they made a Lara Croft game, where the protagonist is named Lara Croft, and has all the signature shit of Lara Croft, but the protagonist is instead an obese black woman with an afro bigger than a watermelon, then you're getting a zero, because fuck you.
I would go even further than this. My brother plays sports games and knows all about how shitty their practices are. And to me, getting kids addicted to virtual gambling is the shittiest of practices. ZERO. I don't give a fuck if it looks nice.
When a company is telling you to go fuck yourself, you should flip them off right back.
Not buyng their shit is what hurts them, and also getting others to not buy their shit (review bombs).
@Kinky Kitsune (Coomer) He actually made a game, not lazy enough <:smugon:512048583806025739>
@Goddess Tyche "I'm the customer here, I don't care about what's good for the company, I care about what's good for me." <:smugon:512048583806025739>
What's good for me as a customer is no shitty companies. If review bombing tanks a shitty company ... good.
@Xaverius a game that should've been done months if not years ago
and a game that has shitty code
Just not lazy enough to make it
@Goddess Tyche hm, interesting counter.
Thanks for the feedback lads
e.g. on blizzard forums they removed downvotes because they were "counterproductive" (specifically in many cases woke threads were downvoted and reported) and the argument is that if you disagree you should present your argument, but if you agree no argument is needed
also most dev forums are just /dev/null for user feedback, that's why many companies don't accept any engagement other their own forums
