Helldivers 2 drops to “Mostly Negative” on Steam, yet again as review bombers take aim at the game's lack of change (frvr.com)

Sigh. AH literally published a road map people. If you read the document seems obvious the next major event is at the end of the road.

I personally like the slow pace of development, it allows the devs to provide more quality updates rather than quantity

I've said it since launch the HD2 community is just fucking awful. HD1 community was nothing like this and when they game got popular people tried to force it into a DRG like community, but it doesn't work like that.

The review bomb with the Sony login stuff was deserved and great that it worked, but it also tells the player base they can get away with pulling that again anytime they want something unfortunately, imo

This reminds me of Slay the Spire 2 review bombing. An early access game gets review bombed due to balancing changes.

I just looked that one up. Apparently they hired someone who happens to a vocal feminist.

So naturally all the weak insecure men have to leave a negative review.

I think the main reason Sony backed down from the account linking stuff was the mass of Steam refunds, rather than the reviews.

... there may or may not be some of my copium in there.
At least I ~~cope~~ hope that AH manages to filter out all the noise, because surrounding the genuine problems with the game there is a lot of it.

At least I'm doing my part, with constructive feedback on the latest survey!

Part of the problem with the Sony refund was all the people jumping on the bandwagon. You can look at reviews at that time and see several reviews with playtime between 0.0 and 0.1 hours. Scope that out to .5 hours and they're even more.

🤦

I also prefer slow development. Give people time to play other games like Pragmata, Vampire Crawlers, or finish a run of Baldur's Gate 3.

Or play HD1. No longer updated but the galactic war is fast pace
