I hope you guys don't do this

controls bad is definitely the mark of a retard.

wat game

There's your problem right there.

Tbh devs are fucking retaarded because they think they can get away by simply adding the Unreal Engine Enhanced Input system and calling it a day. Customization used to be better 10 years ago.
>cant assign one action to multiple keys
>can't bind actions to most of the buttons
>forget about changing what mousewheel up/down does
>binding to mouse side buttons has 50/50 chance it'll work
>multiple actions hardcoded to a single button, over-reliance on radial wheels
>lock-on having weird quirks like either being overly sensitive to enemy swapping or not having a swap at all
>actions have "toggle" not "hold" states which is humiliating

>>715598070 (OP)
I always skim reviews
>1 star amazon
>it shipped slow
Retards always skew the average, frequently most negative reviews prove they didn't even read the product description

>wrote a steam review
>someone gave me a clown emoji award
>now its permanently on my profile and i cant even hide it

>>715598070 (OP)
I don't but reading them allows me to help me make my decision better on whether I buy a game or not.
Only the negative reviews of coursE.

>>715600735
i got a clown emoji for telling some who was complaining about the game that it is a skill issue.

>>715600773
>negative reviews talk about constant crashes
>the people posting them are 99% of the time subhuman third worlders with barely functional setups on their own
What do you do then?

>>715598070 (OP)
Games below 90% score are not worth your time

>>715600923
Guess mindseye is the best game of the year only enjoyed by the most patrician of PC gamers

>>715600923
You can ignore a single negative review by Prajeet1234
Several well worded reviews by users with long playtime complaining about the same issue is an alarm bell

>>715598498
Genuinely, for what reason would someone bind two keys to a single action?

>>715598070 (OP)
For me it's reading negative reviews + just watching some gameplay videos, never been disappointed with my purchase

>slightly autistic game gets negative reviews from normie retards who instantly switched into the fluorode stare after seeing something that doesn't really hold their hand right away
>game that tells its story with a bit of sublety and gives you room for making theories gets a negative review from a normalfag crying that the story doesn't just tell him everything straight and that he's heccin confused
>normalfag admits he was too stupid to beat the tutorial
These always get me tilted, doubly so if they have comments turned off and I can't call them retarded

>>715601053
I like to assume the best, that the person writing the review knows how to read and knows how to play viji games and doesn't want others to waste money on a product he himself regrets the purchase of

>>715600735
I always give people clown emojis. Even if they say something reasonable and correct.

>>715600773
This. By the time I'm reading reviews, I want to buy the game, and I'm just looking for deal-breakers before I take the plunge. So long as there isn't a glaring flaw that have multiple people bitching about, I'm good to go.

>>715601154
Nothing more infuriating than a confident retard

>>715601087
negative reviews are a lot of times the actual indicators
Most games have over 50% positive reviews, even some of the worst for some reason
And it also may be some game for very niche audience who love it

>>715601053
9 times out of 10 an Overwhelmingly positive game is actually fucking garbage but the reviews are propped up either by memes or some other shit I have had way WAY more fun with games that are mostly positive

>>715598070 (OP)
Trust literally no one. Gaming journalists are subversive frauds obviously, steam user reviews are made by the average person, content creators are more retarded than the average person, reviewers are incentivised to not be honest, etc. Nobody can be trusted, not even (you) or I.

>>715601417
Not always. I've seen plenty of negative reviews that are empty or have things like "it's shit" or "i hated it" with no actual reasons. Reviews in general are mostly useless.

>Vitriolic screed about some totally endgame, borderline-meta issue that the vast majority of players won't be aware of
>4000+ hours
Sure, the complaint might be valid. But you still got thousands of hours out of your purchase? Doesn't really warrant a negative review. Those sorts of posts always reek of "I wasted my life on this game and now I'm lashing out at the devs"

It's just an indicator if the dev did smth stupid lately. Which is why they tell you not to trust them.

>>715598070 (OP)
I have bought games before just because all the negative reviews were clearly from retards who found the game too complicated with no hand-holding

>>715598070 (OP)
>the controls are too hard to comprehend

Overwhelmingly Negative = Devs did some REALLY stupid shit
Mostly Negative - Game actually just sucks
Mixed - An update made the game worse but not complete shit
Mostly Positive (the golden zone) the game isn't perfect there's negatives actual negatives but the game is still good
Very Positive - game is really good
Overwhelmingly Positive - Game is average but a youtuber made a video on it and the reviews are full of "hey hey people" or its a "safe" game like a le comfy heckin wholesome park walking simulator

>>715601006
a 90% is a good or great game
a 60% could be the perfect game suited for (You)

>negative review
>"this game is woke do not buy!!!"

RDR2 is like 99% positive and it's one of my least favorite games I've ever played

>>715601738
I know, but until steam has an AI that knows exactly what I want, there is absolutely no way I can sift through all of your little shitty indie games that won't even let you rebind some controls or doesn't support 4k.

>0.7 hours played
>i died, this game is too diffiuclt

>>715601718
In reality they all just mean,
>this is how popular the game is

>>715600735
>now its permanently on my profile and i cant even hide it

this.
i'm clicking on your game, i'm actually bothering to go to the review page and i'm intentionally filtering to find the most indepth/helpful negative review to see if any of their points would turn me off.
i've basically paced around and checked the tires on a car i'm interested in

>>715601469
So you just look into them

>>715600735
it's all or nothing bitch nigga
