HuddaBudda, rok temu w Overwatch 2 director opens up about having the worst-reviewed game on Steam: 'Being review-bombed isn't a fun experience'

"Aaron Keller gets that (people are upset). "That announcement was about an ambitious project that we ultimately couldn't deliver."

On one end, he could be lying, after all it's not like they didn't have working prototypes and cinematic for the new game mode that wasn't deliverable

Or.

He is telling the truth. Then making people return to the office impacted blizzard's bottom line more then they thought and was a stupid decision that they should end ASAP.

That’s not a review bomb, you guys aren’t victims. That’s gamers telling you to fuck off with lies, under delivering, treating your employees like shit, micro transactions and battle passes

Yeah, this is why Jeff Kaplan left. My boy wasn’t gonna fall on this sword.

Saved you a click: The discount is through a key-reseller, not on Steam or GOG.

It's Fanatical, they do officially licensed keys and not grey market resales.

They used to be Bundle Stars ages ago.

We already had like 343289754357863948 JSR spiritual succesors already

Just kidding, but the press repeated that headline so much since the game was announced back in 2020 that it feels like every year we got multiple spiritual succesors to JSR, and it was the same when Hover was announced and eventually the releasded in 2017

Evidently playing the game isn't a fun experience either, Aaron.

Playing the matches is fun, since it is just Overwatch. Literally the same gameplay as Overwatch, but with 5 per team instead of 6.

In between is an assault of micro transaction manipulation bullshit that ruins the experience. PvE is hidden behind a paywall, except for the free stuff that is a retread of the seasonal PvE from Overwatch. I know this because I gave it some hours to see if it was as bad as people were saying.

People hate it because it was supposed to be an improvement but instead it was just another attempt to bleed the players dry. It might be the only game I have reviewed negatively on steam because the monetization really is that bad that it ruins the whole game.

jon, rok temu w SEGA has successfully acquired Rovio

So, uh, not to sound out of the loop here, but what exactly is Sega getting here? They spent close to a billion dollars for...the Angry Birds IP?

Gordon_Freeman, rok temu

Apparently the Angry Birds games are still popular and strong

They were good shit before they turned from buy to play to arcade style quarter dumps.

wave_walnut, rok temu w Hi-Rez Studios, the people behind Paladins and Smite, have stated that they will be using AI to clone voices and refused to add in any words to contracts that would protect actors from it

Is there a provision for paying the actor's family a performance fee each time he or she performs in a synthetic voice after his or her death?

This is the most on-brand and least surprising post I’ve seen today.

Scourge, rok temu w Japanese Charts: Pikmin 4 Comfortably Holds Onto Its Throne

It's a really great single player game, but it is a single player game now. They really botched the co-op. Fun game, but huge let down for my wife and I who loved playing Pikmin 3 together all the time. We had even been naïve enough to hope for online PvP, so the contrast was stark.

Yeah, the could release the best game ever made and I'd still avoid it.

They are scammers who do not comply with the law, these unethical practices are minor things to them.

NotTheOnlyGamer, rok temu w Hi-Rez Studios, the people behind Paladins and Smite, have stated that they will be using AI to clone voices and refused to add in any words to contracts that would protect actors from it

Cool. Now I really want to play Smite. If only it were available without DRM.
