commiunism, do gaming w Games designed to be one thing, but are commonly played other than intended?

After beating Deus Ex 1, there was a time where me and some friends would install a coop mod and instead of playing through the game normally, we’d pick a map, clear it and play proper hide and seek.

It was really fun since you could easily hide under objects like tables, the lighting system let you essentially become invisible in shadows, the maps had a fuck ton of all kinds of nooks and crannies meaning plenty of unexpected hiding spots, etc.

Atomic heart looks good, but it is just not enjoyable

System shock Remake is really good, its mostly just QoL changed, but again, you can get it for like 3€

Hotel renovator sim is just another one of these slop games

Otherwise I dont know anything else

I have not seem this happening because I don’t check reviews when 99% of the time the reviews are spammed with people giving the most useless review that tells you absolutely nothing and tries to be funny but falls flat immediately after posting or a bot wrote it and it’s the most factually inaccurate piece of shit you’ll ever hear.

I honestly wouldn’t be too opposed to Steam making reviews possible only after refund policy to prevent abuse. Really try and keep the trolls away and bots away, at least from paid games.

Absolutely. Also, I'd love to make it a rule that you can't start a review with:

"I really wanted to like this game but..."

Aww... Did you pumpkin? Are you SO disappointed that you don't get to like a thing you wanted to like? That must be so rough for you.
Anyone using that opener is immediately suspicious to me.

You might like Mullet MadJack too, if you like frantic shooters with a “keep killing or die” element.

Completely different style, and no customization that I know of, it’s 90’s cyberpunk anime styled. Each level you have ten seconds until your heart stops. Each kill gets you more time, and flashier kills like melee finishers get you more, as in universe you’re doing some sort of livestream death game. At the end of each short level, in roguelike fashion, you get to pick one of a few randomly selected upgrades/powerups.

Look up some footage on youtube, it’s a lot cooler in motion than words can cover. But it’s definitely one to play with mouse and keyboard so you can do twitch movements fast.

I don’t even really read the reviews I just look at the aggregate score and if it’s overwhelmingly positive I just assume it’s fine.

I probably go and check the reviews only if it said mixed or negative.

Devs listening to their discord

Strider,

Devs listening too much is as bad or even worse than not listening.

Fiivemacs,

I personally like playing the developers games, not the communitys games. when I want to play the community’s version of the game, I get mods.

aeronmelon,

Yeah. It’s one thing if the fanbase comes together demanding a change with an actual rationale, but it’s another if it’s just popular influencers inciting a pitchfork riot against the devs and rate-bombing an otherwise good game.

I ran into this long ago in Ultima Online and Everquest days. "Balance" does not mean "even", guys. Sometimes a overpowering thing needs to be overpowering, and "balance" it in some other way. The term "nerfing" was created in UO for this very act of devs bending to the will of whiners instead of reexamining the game dynamics (if any change was needed at all).
