I don't understand why is it popular to shit on Bethesda games? Just don't play it if you don't like it. At least it has no microtransacrions or Battle Pass nonsense.

I imagine a lot of people bought it, enjoyed it for a few minutes too long to refund, and are now stuck with 60 bucks down the shitter

Makes you wonder why game demos aren't a thing anymore

[–] bonfire921@lemmy.dbzer0.com 9 points 1 year ago

Well steam is really pushing devs to use demos again, given it's mostly indie at this moment but slowly more and more demos start showing up, which is nice. One can hope AAA will do this to but I highly doubt they will

I don't understand why it's so popular NOT to shit on them. Remember when Andromeda came out with many of the same issues, and people fucking REAMED it (rightly)? Now Bethesda is finally getting SOME criticism for their shitty business and game development practices and we have lots of people out here suckling at their teat defending them for some reason. "Leave them alone, it's just a Bethesda game, why do people love to hate them, wahhhh."

As if Bethesda isn't one of the most beloved companies of all time, and most everyone started from a place of WANTING to love this game. But they've been making shitty decisions for years, hiding behind the nostalgia of their past titles, and they are overdue some criticism. It doesn't mean everyone hates them.

I dont know why pepole shited so much on Andromeda.it was fairly ok title and i personaly was looking forward to next part( which sadly probably wont happen ). Certainly gameplay fitted andromeda more than inquisition. Alghtough from what i have seen i definietly wouldnt be so amazed as some journalist seem to be but Its a ok title. Not a BG3 for certain. Alghtough i admittedly never really liked bethesda style games.i even prefered dragon age 2 rather than skyrim. Bethesda games are too diluted for my tastes.

No, enlighten me, because I fucking hated Andromeda.

Typo on my part, but a definition of 'ream' is to reprimand or beat up, essentially

[–] flucksy_bango@lemmy.world -1 points 1 year ago (1 children)

It actually means to make a hole bigger

[–] iheartneopets@lemm.ee 2 points 1 year ago (1 children)

As a phrasal verb it also means to reprimand severely

[–] flucksy_bango@lemmy.world 1 points 1 year ago

I wonder why they're synonymous.

[–] CountryBreakfast@lemmygrad.ml 6 points 1 year ago (1 children)

I dont think gamers know what they want.

[–] WereCat@lemmy.world 1 points 1 year ago (1 children)

They know exactly what they don't want at least

[–] CountryBreakfast@lemmygrad.ml 1 points 1 year ago

That isnt clear either. I wonder if some people are just routinely negative about major releases? I usually don't have wide expectations and get into games for niche reasons, for settlement and ship building in this case. I'm not really invested in what the more negative gamers have to say because it doesn't have much to do with why I want to play the game. Also I feel like too many are just outrage poisoned so their opinion is just guaranteed to be ridiculous.
