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
I've played modern minecraft
Polu was hosting a server for Pix
It'd be june if we do this

Dude I was looking through my wishlist on steam to clear things out. I hate indie devs
This game is not a 30 dollar game
So leg, spooky, polu, myself, and a few others played the demo of this. It was fun, but its not 30 dollars fun
it would've been a good "phijkchu does a server for a couple weeks" game if it was not 30 dollars
Yeah we never ended up playing the one spooky did for christmas
The thing that kills me too, is it is always the soulless devs
95% of the time
These people did not make this game because it was their grand vision for the game they always wanted
The only major "I think this was the devs vision, but they charged too much" is the dunkey game animalwell being 30 bucks
or japanese shit because they do not know how to price their games
Valheim was what $11.99 on launch
that's what these games should be
sure, signal that you're not a $9.99 indie
but if you're more than $15, ESPECIALLY for a game where you need to get your friends to buy it too
then fuck off
