You will regret review bombing this game

[Litwick]

This was Naughty Dog's first foray into the PC market. It's been a learning process for them, and rather than being supportive of their work, we've trashed it and damaged its sales figures.

Let's be honest, if you spent the better part of a year away from your family, trying your best to optimize a game for an unlimited amount of hardware configurations, and it ended up review bombed on release day, you would feel some type of way. I don't think we'll see another ND game on PC. And that's a massive loss for our community. You have to understand that besides Rockstar, no other studio comes close to the quality ND puts out.

When ND releases their magnum opus in a couple years, and you find out its forever exclusive to Sony hardware, that's when the regret will sink in. I honestly used to be a hardcore PC gamer (17y Steam account) but the toxicity of this community pushed me towards console gaming. Instead of embracing these games for the modding goldmines they are, we just cry about framerates. It's sad to think about how far we've sunk.

If you got the balls to charge full price for a 10 year old game you better make sure the product works. /thread

yes, this is the steam community now, disgruntled people who actually do not know the word "appreciation"

You will get this on EVERY major AAA title released on steam, the minority have the biggest voice

If every person that was "satisfied" with this game created a post then this forum would of been inundated with positive comments and positive review,

Nothing but facts

Wasnt Uncharted Naughty Dog?

Good riddance. If they don’t care enough to put out a quality product I don’t care or want anymore of their garbage products

"It's been a learning process for them, and rather than being supportive of their work, we've trashed it and damaged its sales figures."

If it was minor, sure. But the game literally launched unplayable for a lot of people. They deserve flak. They need to do better.

If ND wants to publish more on PC, they need to know that this isnt good enough.

I don't know if you're being sarcastic but yes. It's that type of freedom that makes PC so special. And we've lost sight of that in the past decade. We're too caught up in performance when 30 FPS at 1080p was the norm just a couple years ago. I don't care if I can run this on maximum settings. I just want the freedom that I can't have on console.

Stop apologising for companies releasing unoptimized products.

Who it is doesn't change what reviews are for - saving people's time and money. We'll update to positive as soon as a patch resolves the crashing and other issues people have. Stop being a fanboy.

Shareholders will be angry. No ROI no more amazing ports like this one, but maybe it is a good thing bro.

The Uncharted port was handled by a different studio. This one was done in house at ND.

[alumlovescake]

They will all cry when they do not release Bloodborne then people will beg for a port no matter how bad it is even if it is because hypocrisy is the Internets favourite thing
But Halo Infinte, FF7 and Elden Ring are allowed to be "fine ports" dispite being worse

If they couldn't do it right, they shouldn't have done it.

If they knew it was hot garbage, they should have delayed longer.

Don't blame people for expecting the absolute basic requirements of a game (actually working when it launches,) then being disappointed and salty when it is released as a dumpster fire.

If they had delayed further to make it a quality product people would have been salty, but gotten over it with a successful and optimized launch product.

Release a good product: get good reviews.
Release *this* product: get *these* reviews.
