I always try to keep my reviews constructive for small devs. So far, they've always appreciated the detailed feedback. I've had a few where I completely changed my reviews after they fixed my complaints and let me know about the update.

Reminds me of when someone left a leaf-blowing simulator a review "can't sex the leaves" and it caused the dev to make a sex update to a leaf blowing simulator

[-] CuriousRefugee@lemmy.ml 38 points 1 month ago

Outrageous! It's terrible what people can force devs to do. I would like to apologize for my fellow human's behavior personally; can you give me the name of the game and/or a download link? Or at least some screenshots, so I can, uh, be further outraged.

[-] general_kitten@sopuli.xyz 15 points 1 month ago* (last edited 1 month ago)

Ok

But reviews on game like that are totally warranted as look what their CEO (Chief Exploitation Officer) Said

[-] Sabata11792@ani.social 10 points 1 month ago

Dose it actually add a new way to blow the leafs?

That's a set of some of the best DLC I've seen in any game.

[-] Mercuri@lemmy.world 66 points 1 month ago

For a laugh, review games on Google Play. The asinine responses you get...

The most ridiculous one was for a pay-to-win bullethell game WITH NO BULLETS. You literally just effortlessly shot at enemies with virtually no way to die. But you could pay stupid sums of money for a better ship which killed enemies faster.

The dev's response to my review calling their game overpriced and boring? "Join the discord so you can get tips from top players"

[-] Wizard_Pope@lemmy.world 30 points 1 month ago

Well we need an update.... Did you join? Did you get any good tips?????

[-] Good_morning@lemmynsfw.com 16 points 1 month ago

They are now a top player. TOP. PLAYER.

[-] Buddahriffic@lemmy.world 4 points 1 month ago

Becomes a top player just to advise others to stay the fuck away from the game.

[-] DiogenesOfMiami@lemmy.ml 7 points 1 month ago

The tip is: Buy the bigger ship.

time spent in game when making a review: 600 hours.

I hate this game.

time spent in game after the review was written: 1400 hours.

I was thinking more in line with Paradox games, but your version works too.

[-] BluesF@lemmy.world 6 points 1 month ago

Every MMO on steam is at mixed with negative reviews from 1000 hour players lol. Stop doing this to yourselves!

i got in a fight with a small-time dev when they implemented marriages in a rogue like and allowed child marriages but not gay or interracial marriages

long story short the community exploded and he went full nazi on twitter and now the reviews are actually more positive but from 4chan weirdos calling child marriages based

[-] BluesF@lemmy.world 22 points 1 month ago

What game was that!? Why does a roguelike even have marriage lmao

At this point it's "unmoderated comments section" moment. Pretty much all public spaces are infested with this stuff now.

[-] TriflingToad@lemmy.world 8 points 1 month ago* (last edited 1 month ago)

did they literally just imply that adding same sex marriages that the user has to initiate is the same as living under nazis?

My grandparents survived the nazis, my parents endured communism, I had to live through religious oppression since the age of 10, and now some spoiled brats think bend my knee to their rainbow flag, or else they'll type some words.

[-] june@lemmy.dbzer0.com 5 points 1 month ago

Not a great article. While it was mostly objective about the situation, it did not quote anyone but the developer, giving him complete control over the narrative, and links to many other articles about “rejecting wokeism”.

The reply: Thanks for the money dipshit

[-] metaStatic@kbin.earth 49 points 1 month ago

That would be incredibly stupid.

1 bad review wouldn't put me off a game I was genuinely interested in, but the dev being a total douche canoe would.

[-] Dave@lemmy.nz 29 points 1 month ago

I like to read the bad reviews. I know everyone has different tastes. A constructive bad review can sell me a game if the things that person didn't like aren't a deal breaker for me.

[-] Skua@kbin.earth 25 points 1 month ago

This is somewhat separate, but personally I find that the most reliable way to find good restaurants is to read the bad reviews and see if they have real complaints or if they were just in a foul mood because there was a wait to get a table without booking. If the restaurant replies that can be helpful too

[-] echodot@feddit.uk 8 points 1 month ago

The best one on when the reviews are can incoherent.

Best one I saw was

thus tame should be free , there are orth gmes lime thisone and they are not as good

To be fair it could also be league of legends or destiny 2

I will say that games aren't static any more so there are legitimate reasons why this might occur. For instance, I had over 100 hours in a game and then the devs decided they liked money more than their player base so they retroactively added a bunch of micro-transactions to the game. The game had been fully released at this point and they just updated it to milk more money out of their player base. Bad updates can ruin the experience in what had once been a good game.

I had a dev respond to me 5+ years after a review saying they had fixed the problems I mentioned. Now I have to download the game and play it again or I have no balls. God damn devs holding us accountable.

[-] TriflingToad@lemmy.world 25 points 1 month ago

Once I reviewed a $3 game and got the dev to add the frog character in the sequel lol

Me, when Bethesda replies to a negative review:

[-] nutsack@lemmy.world 17 points 1 month ago

I got so mad playing your video game. 30 hours of my life

[-] ChiefSinner@lemm.ee 16 points 1 month ago

I left a negative review on a "AAA" game and the dev responded to it by gas lighting me that I didn't play it right.

TL;DR starfield sucks

[-] ByteOnBikes@slrpnk.net 5 points 1 month ago

Lol I was just going to bring that up

[-] Mango@lemmy.world 12 points 1 month ago

When it's "the" dev, give them a break.

[-] yamanii@lemmy.world 12 points 1 month ago

Steam reviews are very important, even big studios like bethesda reply to negative reviews.

Gta 5 doesn't allow linux users to play online anymore. Everyone from the linux community shat on them, especially because it was one of the top played games on deck. Where are my rockstar replies?

[-] skulblaka@sh.itjust.works 19 points 1 month ago

Rockstar is just asleep on the big pile of money that they got from the 100 people that bought shark cards every month since the release of GTAO and RDRO

The joke is that people (including the main character/OP) feel comfortable criticizing others when those others don't know about the criticism, but as soon as they do, the anti-confrontational/cowardly/etc. part of them immediately regrets being critical.
