Well I certainly will be there.I would even creats an OT for that, but given my threads attach rate, mmh
I never have anything constructive to really say about games I play. As passionate I am about games and have a lot to say about the medium as an artform, I am certainly not a critic.
Sadly yes. You don't get the best build of the game
I played Gato Roboto last weekend and I made a point of reviewing that (even if it's just an extremely short review).
It's a really solid game by the way, if you want to play a short, focused, cute, minimalist Metroidvania it's a great choice (took me ~3,5 hours).
There are still lots of really obscure indie co-op games we played that I should review, but since those often have very few reviews that (somewhat paradoxically) makes me less likely to write one. When a game has 10 reviews or so I feel some pressure to go more in-depth and provide more information, rather than just a short impression. I should get over that, even a short impression is much better for the game than not writing a review at all.

The meteor spell is always been silly. I remember questioning it when I played FFVII as a kid.
Yeah, i'm no writer so my reviews wouldn't be much beyond "I liked the game and had no problems with it." and even if i did have something deep and philosophical to say about the game i certainly don't have the talent to express it.
Expect a lot of "Good game.", "I liked it.", "It was fun.", etc reviews if i'm expected to add my voice to the chorus more often.

Thanks for confirming. That's messed up
Will just read a synopsis for the DLC. Not gonna support this kind of stuff.
I did start playing Gato Roboto and was enjoying it, but I found the boss battles to be a pretty huge difficulty spike and gave up.
Finished NieR Automata last night (on Game Pass, but I didn't notice any particular issues with the PC port aside from the AA bullshit). Hack-and-slash gameplay gets awfully repetitive by the end, and Route B should have been cut down significantly to help the pacing, but the story, atmosphere, world-building, and ending make it worth playing through all the way.

Hmmm yeah you are probably right.
Though there aren't many games that i dont like enough to leave a negative review. Its usually that ive bought it without proper research or got swept up on the hype train and so i deem that to be more my fault than the developers. I'd probably leave negative reviews for technical issues or outright mis-marketing.
I'd rather praise those games i like and for the ones i dont they just wont get a future sale without some proper research into it. I guess thats where the negative reviews help though.
It's a physical split for RE8. Xbox has been pushing people towards digital for years.
It's not the complete picture, is my point.
I still believe that Valve should allow us to thumbs up games without having to write a review. It doesn't have to carry as much weight, but it would be nice.
I write reviews for almost every game I play on Steam, especially indies. I'm aware how important this is for them.
Logistial 3 was my legit GOTY 2020 and I'm not even joking.
Game engine is a bit crusty (you get used to it quickly), but man is it Zen af.
obviously it's the PS4 size, but should be somewhat similar on PC

I've been asking for something like this for years. Forcing someone to write something, anything, is silly, just giving the option to vote positively or negatively would bolster the nr of reviews, especially for smaller games.
Also, give us an "average" option for when a game isn't so good that it deserves a thumbs up nor is it so bad it deserves a thumbs down.
I usually only do reviews when the sales metagame requires it for cards. Guess I'll start doing it more often

I really should leave reviews for games I liked even if they are simple reviews.
We're seeing more consistent reviews with this system, so there's no way Valve will go back to the old system, even if it's optional. Having a threshold goes a long way as mere likes/dislikes aren't indicative of anything in the grand scheme of things. They want reviews to be informational and they risk losing some of that if you can just push a button to recommend a game. Also, it's not like it's impossible to put up a review with only a few words if you really want to!

Nooooo, Not IdolNinja! He's been amazing and his work on the Saints' Row series and at volition will never be forgotten. Dammit.Unfortunately guy who is doing Saints Row 2 patch didn't manage to beat cancer and it is in terminal phase so he is stepping down as Community Manager and it will work on patch for as long as he can.

Fuck Cancer!
IdolNinja helped get Saints' Row working "better" on PC and his "Gentlemen of the Row" release was an AMAZING mod for Saints' Row 2 that really helped pave the way for the Saints' Row PC community! Dammit again!
to be fair I think i'm more organised about my games than my work too
one interests me a lot more
I need more of these, who's the author?
it's actually a homage at the IRL sketch from 2015

My most hyped game at the moment, my favorite cookies and a nice drink!
Turns out the payment I received wasn't an error so went directly to cdkeys and got RE8.
Already 58€
Oof, I so wanted to make this joke I didn't see your postbut ... but i linked it
Le Pertti, Congrats mate. Prepare to be spooked.
Yeah, some of the boss battles were surprisingly challenging. I still found them not too difficult to learn, but I've played a ton of Metroidvanias and precision platformers over the years. I've seen that there are a few other complaints about them in the Steam reviews.
In general, larger Metroidvanias give you more options to use the "Vania" part of the game to make boss battles easier beyond the pure action gameplay, but Gato Roboto doesn't have a lot of that due to its somewhat limited scope.

Introducing miniature painting may be a bit difficult. Where to start ? In the beginning there were pigments. And man's love to put those on every sort of shit, because ! Who doesn't like colors ? Then there were those damn teenagers and their inextinguishable lust for power fantasy, thinking...

The RE engine really is magnificent ! Not only does it well on weak hardware but looks so good. Like RE7 and Remake 2 on my MacBook pro 2017 and now RE8 on series S.
OMG the ponytail!
Also that guy was lying to Gordon, in Xen you find dead Black Mesa scientists and they are using helmets!
