This just in: people playing game appear to enjoy the game!

Katana314,

Given how many games on Steam are reviewed negatively (from people who own and played that game, by necessity) that doesn’t necessarily track.

Ah yes the Mcdonalds effect. Objectively its greasy trash food but sometimes that’s just what people want.

Cannibal_MoshpitV3,

McDonald’s is an anomaly amongst fast food in my opinion.

All fast food is trash, but I have the exact same greasy, salty, mediocre experience with McDonald’s every single time. No other chain has the same consistency between different locations. Its just a safe option every time.

Hot take: it is a really good game that is a ton of fun. It got really bad press from “professional” gamers because they can’t play it 10 hours a day for the next year.

The main deficiency with the game is the lack of end game content. The story was fun, the end game is fun, but there isn’t enough of it.

It's getting bad press from reviewers who didn't enjoy it for 10 hours as well.

I posted a pretty well-reasoned review on the subject. I don’t think Skill Up is being deceptive or anything. There are good things in the game, but there’s also soooo many bad decisions made in the process.

potentiallynotfelix,

It’s fun but it’s really boring after an hour max. It’s repetitive as hell.

hightrix,

The tutorial takes longer than an hour, but I understand and agree with your point. The game needs more endgame content.

The repetitive missions would be fine if there were also additional difficult goal type activities. It’s a fun core game that needs a solid progression loop.

stormesp,

Please, i played the closed beta, the game is terrible, the only reason it has positive reviews in steam is because of the low playerbase that is fooling themselves because they purchased already. Just check the small number of reviews and concurrent players for a game this big. The main point to make out of this article is that most people already saw from a mile away that the game was terrible from the youtube previews and closed betas

Crazy how that didn’t happen with Anthem and Babylon Fall huh, maybe because it is different and there is something people like there. Will it be enough to keep going? I don’t know, but having micro transactions in a full priced game does deserve the hate.

thingsiplay, do gaming w Positive ‘Suicide Squad: Kill The Justice League’ User Reviews Split Unusually From Critics

My theory is, that most people who don’t like the idea of Suicide Squad simply don’t buy and do not play. As there was enough warning before and lot of YouTubers hating on the game; even before it was playable.

slazer2au, do games w Massive ‘Apex Legends’ Hack Disrupts NA Finals, Raises Serious Security Concerns

This involved a wild situation where someone was giving the pros hacks like aimbots and wallhacks as they were playing in the Finals event, effectively ruining the entire thing without anyone actually attempting to cheat.

Damn.

Looking at Titanfall and Titanfall 2, Respawn has a pretty fuckin terrible track record with multiplayer security.

Dexx1s, do games w Massive ‘Apex Legends’ Hack Disrupts NA Finals, Raises Serious Security Concerns

Goddamn, it really did hit Forbes. Now I’m really interested in how Respawn will handle this one.

Visstix,

I feel like the hackers got what they wanted out of it.

Dexx1s,

They definitely did. This will easily be the top Apex news for at least a week.

Rodeo,

This is a contributor post, not a Forbes official article.

I read here recently that the rich people who pay attention to Forbes for investment information avoid all Forbes contributor content and focus only official article from Forbes staff.

I don’t know how true that is, but if you believe it then until a forbes staffer writes about it in an official capacity, it hasn’t actually hit Forbes.

Dexx1s,

I understand you, but they’re not the ones who matter here tbh; it’s other laymen. I don’t use Forbes, I just know what Forbes is. Looking at that page, I’d have no idea what you’re talking about. The url is Forbes, the author’s name is there, and is labelled as a senior contributor. For most of us: “we hit Forbes boys!”

Wonder if this is a risk for all games that run EAC.

simple,

It’s certainly alarming and I hope they make a statement for it. The idea that any EAC game could have remote code exploit means anyone playing these games could be under risk of getting hacked.

big_slap,

EAC said no via twitter.com/alphaINTEL/…/1769734106395373635

We are confident that there is no RCE vulnerability within EAC being exploited.

    Goronmon,

    Do we believe them?

    Is there any specific evidence to support EAC being the issue?

    Stovetop,

    Other than it being anti-cheat software failing to do the one thing it was made to do?

    big_slap,

    no lol

    The clips are pretty crazy:

    cybersandwich,

    Hal saying “I have aimbot I can’t shoot. I can’t shoot” because he’d basically mow down everyone, then when his teammates got knocked, he was like…okay nvm lemme one clip you guys.

    Hilariously, there is a chance aimbot wasn’t on when he one clipped the caustic (and that it was just straight aim assist on controller).

    Can you imagine if the hacker was more clever and didn’t make his cheats obvious for genburten?

    Everyone was on the lookout for it the next game. But what if he just subtly did it to hal (one of the best if not the best players in the game) . It would be an even bigger fucking deal.

    Accusations of cheating or aimboting already happen with pros because they are so good. Imagine having some clips of hal legit aimboting (unbeknownst to him) in a finals lobby.

    squidspinachfootball,

    That is crazy, are there more clips or compilations? I’m just finding out about it through this post

    Literally nobody asked for this.

    It will likely bomb, especially if it’s as crammed with microtransactions as I fully expect it will be.

    @snooggums@midwest.social avatar

    I heard you like microtransactions, so I put microtransactions in your microtransactions.

    Marvel copy of an existing game developed by NetEase? Nope

    qwertyqwertyqwerty, do games w Report: A Marvel 6v6 Overwatch-Style Shooter Is Coming

    This is going to be straight garbage. Not only will it be overstuffed with every microtransaction possible, there’s no way to balance the characters while still keeping them true to the comics. Thor vs. Mantis? Dr. Strange vs. Punisher? Maybe you can help it a bit by having some of the classes be dps/healer/tank, and constrain them somehow, but I don’t see how this would ever work.

    Outside of a mobile game. If they are making it a mobile game, it will make $2 billion and be a completely unbalanced piece of shit, and everyone will love it anyways and play it for the next two years.

    Just Hawkeye and Black Widow. They don’t have powers, they’re just good at their jobs. It’s already silly in they other games they appear but at least there they don’t fight each other.

    Hawk,

    There’s going to be some silly background story that somehow levels the playing field, I’m guessing…

    intensely_human,

    This is a solved problem in the comic book digital media universe: anyone with insufficient powers is given a robot suit to bring them up to par.

    Batman … in a robot suit. Spider man … in a robot suit. The Punisher … in a robot suit. Tony Stark … in a robot suit.

    echo64,

    I’m so tired that this kind of opinion has infested lemmy discourse. Reddit wasn’t this bad.

    Wait for shit to come out before getting mad at it. You don’t have to write fan fiction on how mad you are about something just so you can get your anger based serotonin fix early.

    JimboDHimbo,

    What’s the last NetEase game you’ve played? I’ll wait.

    echo64,

    Please. I’m pointing out how all you want to do is get mad about things and are in such a fervour to do so that you won’t even wait for the thing to exist to get mad about it.

    You want to get mad? Fine, but don’t write fan fiction then get mad about that.

    JimboDHimbo,

    I’m not the original commenter with the “rage fan fiction”. I’ll answer my own question though. Naraka: Bladepoint. You ever play Naraka: Bladepoint? What about Last Light? I’ve played both, both are hot garbage and microtransaction filled. If a company has a history of putting out shoddy work, why the heck should any of us expect this new game to be any different?

    intensely_human,

    Why should you expect the game … at all?

    How is any expectation whatsoever helpful?

    There’s a predictive model you can build and run in your brain. The result of running this model will be feelings of disgust, frustration, anger.

    Do you choose to run this mental program? If so, why?

    echo64,

    You can say the company has a history of mistakes, that’s fine. That’s not what op did and you know it.

    JimboDHimbo,

    Trailer dropped today. I’ll give it a chance.

    intensely_human,

    What’s the best dopamine rush you’ve ever gotten from hating on something? How long did it last? When you looked back on it the next day, was it a fond memory for those two minutes?

    JimboDHimbo,

    Well, I really hated it when someone’s intensely human matriarch from a parallel universe wouldn’t give me a snowball after. Although, the dopamine could have come from the climax and not the hating…not too sure. 😂😂

    qwertyqwertyqwerty,

    Reddit was definitely worse than one person’s opinion on a obvious cash grab mobile game. I’m not mad. I’m likely not the target audience for this game. If you are excited about it, be excited. Go play it. Give them your money. They will be excited too. Have fun. Spend. Enjoy.

    echo64,

    I’m not excited about it, I’m just not writing fan fiction so I can get more mad about it.

    shani66,

    You know people can look at the world around them, notice trends, and make fairly accurate predictions of the future based on them, yeah?

    intensely_human,

    Sure. And someone who gets worked up over these predictions is foolish.
