I didn't realize they literally had SweetBabyInc doing the translation
no wonder
I remember now why I never finished Ninja Gaiden 3 Razor's Edge. I kept restarting the game to increase my Karma rating (which you use to buy upgrades), since there is no where to grind in that game. Playing Razor's Edge revealed something in me that makes me not want to play Bayonneta. "Oh you'd love Bayonneta. It's hard", I don't like games that judge me. I'd love for someone to give me a Dark Souls game, but no one ever gives me those.

I'm getting in contact with this guy to collab on the next PhijkchuGames project
The dev is super interesting, and he's local to me
Same
nah fuck that
if you don't feel strongly, that's the same as a negative review
Replying to Spooky Phijkchu #spooky.131 if you don't feel strongly, that's the same as a negative review
same as the *status quo
Steam should have neutral, positive, and negative. And every steam page shows you the top positive, the top neutral, and the top negative
Replying to Spooky Phijkchu #spooky.131 if you don't feel strongly, that's the same as a negative review
And I agree with this. Too many people want to leave neutral reviews because they didn’t like something, but they feel bad giving negative reviews.
You should have a pass, fail, or whimsy rating
for reviews
I don't think neutral is really needed. the review content and the positive/negative are basically seperate
you do positive/negative for if you want to reward or punish the game
and then you write whatever you feel like for the actual review
if you want to do an evaluation or critical analysis with a score attached you should do that somewhere else, not on steam review
the review content you could mainly break down into shitposts, venting frustrations, dick sucking the developers / hype riding, trying to actually write a helpful "you should buy this if / be aware of this" review, and then people trying to use it like mal or etc
adding neutral would push certain categories of those reviews into avoiding giving a thumbs/down rating which in steam's eyes would just reduce the "accuracy" of the review score
since it biases the review score to account more for certain types of review mindsets than others
Pirate's take is really good
I also just tend to think there's zero value in discussing/reviewing anything "Objectively"
Tends to devolve into either parroting generic nothing phrases that critics use, or becoming a hyper-contrarian
I usually only use steam reviews to see if people discuss game breaking issues or things like that
other than the raw number of "80-90% of people who review this recommend it" the actual reviews are meaningless
Replying to polu #polutropos Depending on what they changed I think it could be done in about 3 1/2 hours
I'd be down to race you sometime in the future
since I've not done my lunatic run either
Replying to Spooky Phijkchu #spooky.131 I sort of think it should be doable in ~3 hours without skips/tech, idk if Polu thinks that's absurd or not
same estimate on my end
only part I think would suck is not having unlimited jet boosts because we don't farm all the loli cubes
I was going to pass on it until the demo
It was one of the more interesting looking games from that E3
I assumed it was going to be shovelware at first
Replying to Phijkchu_Pikachu #klombak It was one of the more interesting looking games from that E3
great trailer but the gameplay premise was goofy, I had 0 confidence it was going to work
Things move slow enough that it probably works without gratuitous auto-aim
lmao
launches while we are in toronto
