Wheeee!
Well, I thought this release would be a big dissappointment. But people need to get a grip and realize kickstarter funding is a gamble. Pick your bets carefully, and still expect nothing.
I checked the reviews on Steam 10 days after release and the majority of them were positive. Most of the negative reviews were of people will less than 5 hours of playtime, some of them with only half an hour. I checked again after all this debacle, and the difference is appalling. It is like if every person who read these articles decided to upvote every negative review in Steam, no matter how badly written or unhelpful it is. People can be very vindictive.
There will always be gutless, immature, loud-mouthed punks making trouble for others. The things is, if they were face-to-face with their targets, they wouldn't have the guts to open their mouth. But, as long as they can hide and snipe from cover, they'll continue to make trouble.
Reviewer is a bit of a dick, but at least he had actually played the game for a decent amount of time. .
Not even that. Counter and achievements don't work reliably in offline mode. I have finished RPGs twice within 2 hours while doing only 10% of the achievements.Not necessarily. You can get into the game and pause it, do something else and the Steam counter will still assume you are playing.
Sometimes I do that, I just alt-tab leaving the game running while I watch a movie, or read some news, etc.
The only way to know if someone actually played the game is to check the achievements.
Anyway this type of stuff makes me happy I don't deal with the public at work anymore.
I used to work customer returns for a few years, and came really close to harming a few customers. Sorry to say this but some people are just plain stupid.Amen to that. I don't either. Praise be.
I'm not going to wade through all of the Internet drama, either. I just don't care enough.
I quite agree as I said above it has potential, but I hated when my car disappeared, or I couldn't do repairs on anything, and a couple of broken quests.Perhaps I'm in the minority yet again, but I think the game is great. A bit clunky, but still quite good. I sure hope they keep working on it or put out a sequel, because the potential is there for it to be truly great. It did seem a bit rough and rushed out the door, but the bugs I've seen have been minor.
Decent amount of time? There is nothing of the sort.Reviewer is a bit of a dick, but at least he had actually played the game for a decent amount of time.
Bioware are published by EA. EA pulling out that stunt? They would be destroyed for that. Would be very hard to find EA defenders. In the current case, all crowfunding supporters are rushing in to support dogmatically a studio that went through crowdfunding. The quality is abyssal? Who cares, what only matters is that they went crowdfunded.It's also one reason we get so much crap in terms of quality of the games from big developers such as what Bioware puts out these days.
Bugs are not the big problem: the big problem is the lack of gameplay, gameplay is empty. They might start to fill it in.At this point, I'm just waiting for the routine fan-boy response, "Bugs? I played through the whole game and didn't encounter a single bug, I don't know what all these people are talking about" There are always a few of these responses when new bug-ridden games are released.
