No Mods = negative review

this comment forces me to give this game a negative rating

There are currently no plans to make Steam Workshop available for Railway Empire 2.
Have a good one

as a pre-order, I assumed that the game would be as fun as its predecessor. But you can't do that without mods.

Its available on xbox right now. I played for about 20 minutes, not enjoying it like the first one so far but maybe it will grow on me, giving it a chance.

Um show me a pre-order game that supports mods day 1. Most games don't but eventually do add games workshop once the dust settles a few months later.

Parkitech, Stardew Valley, every single Paradox Interactive game and those are notoriously buggy.

Age of Wonders 4.

They even emailed everyone that the game has amazing mods. It released not 2 weeks ago lol.

Ok, thx for your warning. I hope the world will still turn with your negative review.

I don't need mods.
There are just problems similar to the Transport Fever series and fans of mods should rather head there. The "vanila" game itself has enough variety.

[Devilhunter]

But the store page clearly says about no workshop intergration. You want to give negative not for the game content, but for something the game don't even offer.

[pmierow]

You know any game of THIS developer in the last years that has mod support?
.... see ...
So there is no reason to be astonished and no reason to rate it negatively.
Just don't buy it if you want mods that badly.

no one will deny that the previous game had very good mods with even complete scenarios. I can expect from the successor that there will also be mod support here.
-
A good game also includes good support and always listening to the community.

MODS are important nowadays for every sophisticated player since games are targeting the average mobile game player...

And everyone knows what will happen with official Workshop support. Patch release, most Mods won't work anymore and People in the Forum pull out the Torches & Pitchforks. The Stellaris Forum demonstrates this over and over.

When this Game is popular enough I am pretty sure there will be Mods at least on Nexus, it's just not a 1-click install anymore.

That's a good thing, not a bad thing. It increases the game's review score.

Maybe don't buy it if you're not going to enjoy it? A negative review means you don't enjoy the game as a whole, not just a single part.

Surely you're not that rich you can buy games you hate before you've even played them just to review negative!

If it's a big turn off maybe refund before release so you don't lose out?

Have a nice day!

[Mr Xus]

Also if you love mods, why not make some? It's a pain if workshop is not enabled but certainly not the end of the line
