Snapz, do gaming w Kerbal Space Program fans react with anger over Intercept Games closure, and you know what that means: Review bombing on Steam

They are now trying to standardize reference to “review bombing” to try to frame it some nefarious and coordinated “campaign” instead of what it is… A bunch of actual people pissed off at your recent bullshit and responding in real time to express that disappointment and frustration.

Direct consequences of your actions.

It highlights the crucial flaw with Tekken for me: you have to just memorize how to defend everything your opponents can do to you rather than being able to intuit it on the fly. Which moves hit high/medium/low/overhead or track horizontally? There’s no language to it; it’s just done on a per move basis for balancing reasons, which means it would take me forever to get to the part where I actually get to think and play the game. This string, mashing 3, has highs, mediums, and lows all built in, plus it low profiles some counter attacks from opponents. This bot would beat me, too.

What a dystopian world we live on where my 32 thread CPU with 8 channels of 64GB RAM is “obsolete” for Windows 11, because it lacks a fucking TPM of all things.

slazer2au,

The TPM is a feature of the motherboard, not the CPU (generally).

You can even get separate TPM modules to plug into your MoBo, if I’m not mistaken.

The bar should be a little higher than “we haven’t bricked anyone’s system (that we know of) (so far)”

It just boggles my mind that there are people who think everyone should give complete control of their computer to Microsoft just because there are people cheating at games.

This will be my final Windows computer.

Blisterexe,

I assume you will be switching to Linux, if so, I can answer any questions you might have

Dreyns,

Well i already switched and I’m wondering, how does root access works on Linux ? What i mean is there games that used shitty anti cheat that are running on proton have the same access to your PC or is limited by the proton prefix ? Thank you in advance for your input on the matter!

bbuez,

Tl;dr : yes they are limited in their access to the rest of your PC… mostly

From what I understand, when such anticheats are configured for Linux, they’re still running in the user space and is why some developers go as far to disable support for Linux entirely.

You, the privileged user, unless logged into the root user (not recommended), are part of the “sudoers” group, which allows you to execute commands on behalf of the root user using the “sudo” command which requires your password. Games should never need this to play.

This however doesn’t mean the AC is sandboxed, its honestly beyond my knowledge exactly what it does have access to, but I can say it is far less than what Windows kernel AC has. And again why developers feeling the need for such intrusion simply pull away from linux

Dreyns,

Hmm i see thanks

Blisterexe,

The anticheat can read all your files (in the home directory), and see all running processes. It can’t change much about the system, however, if you give it root once, it can keep it.

Dreyns,

That’s already too much imo

Blisterexe,

I agree, but its way less bad than what the windows anticheat can see, also, most every ptogram can do those things

Reviews are one of the only weapons and Outlets that consumers have anymore. Especially a dire need because game journalism is so incredibly incredibly corrupt and inept. So the bitchy tone of this article certainly does track.

If Amazon has shown us anything though, its that reviews can be bought and sold en masse. I’m not sure how Steam reviews are mitigating this, but I fear that it will be undermined soon

jwelch55,

Do you actually look at Amazon reviews and trust them now though? They may have proven they can pay to put them there, doesn’t mean anyone cares about what they have to say… Though I’m probably overestimating the general population of Amazon shoppers

tetris11,
@tetris11@lemmy.ml avatar

The individual review don’t matter though, it’s the mean star score that people glance at and then scroll by on

KingThrillgore,
@KingThrillgore@lemmy.ml avatar

You have to have a copy of the game on Steam to review it. It will automatically say you got it for free if it’s a key from Steamworks (given to the press usually). This means the costs of faking reviews would outpace the volume really early.

tetris11,
@tetris11@lemmy.ml avatar

can’t multiple people share an account and post individual reviews from it?

lud,

No, reviews are per account. A single account can post multiple reviews for the same thing (obviously)

JohnBrownNote, do gaming w Kerbal Space Program fans react with anger over Intercept Games closure, and you know what that means: Review bombing on Steam

that overpriced, buggy, and incomplete mess wasn’t already getting bad reviews?

kbin_space_program,

It was, now Take two can claim its just review bombing and the game is fine.

@joelfromaus@aussie.zone avatar

Funny enough some of the most recent reviews have been somewhat positive because of the amount of progress that they have made on the development of the game. If the game were allowed to be developed to full completion, it might be a well received game (Despite the price). Instead they’ve canned it, which is just a disgusting show of business over customers as well as being disappointing for a KSP fan.

JVT038, do gaming w Fallout 4's most popular mods are now ones that remove Bethesda's disastrous 'next gen' update
@JVT038@feddit.nl avatar

I’m on PC and I haven’t noticed anything changed. Literally. I don’t notice any bugs nor have I noticed a sudden improvement of my graphics. It seems to me that the 15gb that Steam downloaded, was just full of 0’s and don’t do anything.

Edit: Nevermind, apparently the new quests and items are part of the update, so in that case I have definitely noticed something lol.

changingfmh,

The primary issue on PC is that it broken F4SE, breaking a large number of mods and delaying Fallout London, a mod they poached developers from.

That, and loading times in some areas are suddenly a minute long.

Fredy1422,

yep, and im still waiting for the dev to update it (tediously painful he says.)

VindictiveJudge,
@VindictiveJudge@lemmy.world avatar

Every update breaks F4SE. Same with SKSE. Just wait a few days and it’ll be fine.

erwan, do gaming w Fallout 4's most popular mods are now ones that remove Bethesda's disastrous 'next gen' update

What’s wrong, only that it breaks mods or does it break even for regular usage?

JakJak98,

Really it breaks f4se which is the script extender for mods.

And it takes me sometimes 45 seconds to a minute to load when returning to the Commonwealth or large buildings like the library or institute.

TheDemonBuer, do gaming w Fallout 4's most popular mods are now ones that remove Bethesda's disastrous 'next gen' update
@TheDemonBuer@lemmy.world avatar

I wish I hadn’t installed the update. I was hoping it would make the game run better on the steam deck, but it’s actually worse. I think they’ve increased the graphical fidelity, but it’s come at the expense of the battery. I found a work around to get the game launcher to come up so I could lower the graphics settings to improve battery life, but that doesn’t fix the bugs. They seem to have gotten worse with the update. Never change, Bethesda. Never change.

LodeMike, do gaming w Fallout 4's most popular mods are now ones that remove Bethesda's disastrous 'next gen' update

Everything I hear about AAA games is just straight garbage

RaoulDook,

Mine works fine without mods on the next-gen update. It’s looking much better than before on my widescreen monitor. I used to need mods to make it work in 21:9 and unlocked framerate, and now it’s all supported by the stock game so I’m pleased with it.

I did have a crash to desktop bug until I disabled the Weapon Debris graphics setting though. That was my one lame hassle that happened with it.

UsernameIsTooLon,

You living under a rock? Ghost of Tsushima, Spider-Man, Elden Ring, God of War, Doom Eternal, RE8, and Tears of the Kingdom are awesome AAAs of just the past 5 years to name a few.

It’s just that bad games tend to get more publicity cuz the mob likes to shit on them. Tbh, Cyberpunk wasn’t even a terrible game, it just dropped with performance issues that took over a year to mostly fix.

I’ll give you that all recent Ubisoft titles have sucked though.

LodeMike,

Perhaps

derpgon,

I started to wait a year or two before I try them, that usually means they a) they got most bugfixes, b) additional content and c) they are on sale.

Omega_Haxors,

Because there’s a good experience buried under a mountain of extremely bad decisions. If the games lacked potential people wouldn’t care.
