I’ve read comments to this effect for years, and the only time I see objectionable shit on Steam is in reviews for intentionally political meme games like the recent one about putting up flags in the UK. Typically my only exposure to the forums is when I’m looking up obscure puzzle solutions, but the worst comments I ever see are just stupid or unhelpful. I imagine it’s worse for big multiplayer games, but I tend to avoid those, so maybe that’s why I don’t see the problem.

I always downvote any post or comment that complains about downvotes, especially when the commenter claims that downvotes are somehow proving their point. This is probably the only exception I’ve ever made, because you’re right.

Patient Gamers@sh.itjust.works•Weekly Recommendations Thread: What are you playing this week?English
3·2 months agoBroke my normal rule of waiting for a 50% discount (or better) and picked up KCD2. I’ve just been mainlining it. It’s a bigger, better version of the first game (which I loved, hence the early purchase), and picks up right where that one left off. No complaints, except maybe that horseshoes are a pain in the ass to forge.

3·3 months agoWell, it’s inaccurate. Fiction does not require unrealistic elements. There’s just scads of fiction out there—across multiple genres—that’s set in a real time and place, and doesn’t involve anything fantastical.

1·3 months agoTons of 'em! Comedies, in particular, tend not to have guns. I watch a lot of UK light ent, particularly panel shows, which fit the bill.Then there’s sci-fi (if you’re cool with space guns), and shows set before guns were invented (other weapons may make appearances).

1·3 months agoI had a lot of fun with Eve Echoes for a while, but the steady catering to whales and multiboxers sucked the fun out of it for me. I just want to fly around with friends and blow shit up, without spending exorbitant amounts, or running my own personal fleet.

3·3 months agoI was disappointed by Fetish Locator; I wasn’t into any of the included fetishes, so I rapidly got to the end, and missed all the content. Got an ending screen suggesting I should go back and try something, but like, no thanks! Still, at least it was free!

Games@lemmy.world•Mass Effect 5 is "still in pre-production" says director as BioWare shifts full focus to the sci-fi RPG amid dev reshuffles and reported layoffsEnglish
4·5 months agoI agree! I think I got a free copy somewhere, years after release, and really enjoyed it. Sure, I wish the characters had been a lil’ more fleshed out, but I had fun with it. I have to assume that the bulk of the negative reaction to it had to do with bugs and/or missing content on launch, that had been fixed by the time I got around to it.
I often have this experience, since the only game I recall buying on or before launch in the last decade is BG3.
That sucks! I’m sorry. They really ought to moderate it better.
