No Rest for the Wicked

No Rest for the Wicked

What's the Drama about?
have this game on wishlist since it announced, and noticed that the reviews were dropping.
Can someone give me a quick rundown?
I'm too lazy to read through the reviews to be absolutely honest.

Chinese were reviewbombing for whatever reason, CEO called players to give positive reviews or else the studio might go under, now other screechers are bombing.
the drama is really not that relevant to the reviews, same with any game that releases a changes in mechanics. it doesn't always go down well. the reviews are simply a reflection of a bad patch - same with any game tbh, look at helldivers for example they do a bad balance patch or a sloppy warbond it shows in player count and reviews

look at vast majority reviews, they are about gameplay mechanics people didn't enjoy, only a tiny number of those left negative review for non-game reasons

reviews will wax and wane, they can easily shoot up again if good changes are made to the game - same with any early access or live service title really

politics and issues that have nothing to do with the game

Hard to say the game is in some of its mechanics very unique for example

-You can use embers (game items ) to reroll endless encahntments on your gear the importance of this mighty tool is poorly explained by the game
-Poise System doesnt feel subjectivly in a good spot
-High rarity gear doesnt mean that it is better then your already blue one

All in all lets say it this way if you dont spend some time to engage and learn the mechanics of the game it "can" be struggeling.
And if you someone who leveling up Strength and playing a Mage it isnt the game for your. ( Mahler said a lot of peole seems to done this; maybe this are the same guys rated it low on there reviews)

If your a fan of such games give ith a try for an EA its highly enjoable. Can only speak for my self i still have my fun with it.

A lot of the negative reviews are actually from far left leaning individuals that are upset that the developers don't support video games being a platform to lecture players on political issues.

A lot of youtubers have been covering the drama and in return people are checking the game out and leaving a positive review to combat the left leaning review bombing.

Why the ♥♥♥♥ someone would expect spellcasting from strengh? I know only 1 game where "strengh" is somewhat tied to spells and it is Pillars of Eternity.
I've seen devs comments about removing stats, but that would be idiotic. Just add notes how runes scale in their description.

So it's just stupid sht? Not like GGG where they f-ed up the difficulty for Season 2?

Basically devs screwed up big times in last big content patch, players got mad and posted a bunch of negative reviews (understandably).
Then game's studio lead posted borderline blackmail/hostage message on discord how the game got "bombed by haters" and studio might close because of it.
Now here is a bunch of white knights defending every single aspect of the game, no matter how bad it is.
is it wrong to defend such a beautiful game i think not!
Well difficulty was really cranked up on the last patch
Perfomance issues, expecially game crashed when you went to lowland meadows after story.

I believe they fixed that already. At least it works now for me and the game seems to be easier too.


And yes, its good to defend games you like. Those trolls and toxic haters dont sleep either. These discussion forums are partly really bad.
Untested patch with glaring gameplay and balance issues happened. They hotfixed as fast as they could but by the time it happened, the damage was done already

I do not see nothing bad about this game, I like it very much, why would I not shout it out then. I want to see this title finished. That the game seems to be diffiuct for some. Well, I never played DS either and I do not spam their reviews/community about it.

Tbh just take your time and read some negative reviews and you´ll see that the most are nonsense.

Besides politics it´s mostly:

- "I miss a QoL feature."
- "Game is too hard.", even if it´s tagged as souls-like ARPG on the store-page.
- "I have to start a new game to play the new stuff."

Poeple just want fast and easy games these days. They "don´t have the time" to grind something or to find out stuff on their own, or to actually get better at a game obviously. It´s laughable at best.
Also this game is still in EA and the devs communicated that a fresh start is needed because they made a massive gameplay-overhaul together with all the new content. Yet poeple cry... because they can´t accept their own incompetence to read properly what the EA-state means... It´s not like it is shown on the store-page aswell.

The fact that you believe in that stuff is silly,I did some research and digging and I speak with CEO 3 hours ,like rofl cool story bro..Got paid to brainwash you when he coming from same circle as asmongold and asmon got payed 2,3 times to play the game..No CEO or game director will jerk with you 3 hours if you don't have some payed promotions with them it simple as that..Why you as customer don't go chat with CEO when his so friendly to see how that goes
