Review bombing? P2W? Nani tf are reviews on about?

[Reimu Hakurei x3]

Alot of these negative reviews are very sus, theres some of them that show concern about spyware and some that make claims that make no sense, I don't mind people disliking a game I like or anything but alot of these seem like organized review bombing since they repeat the same things and some of these things are not even part of the game. Or can so many thousands of people actually not realize they are playing a demo that is a work in progress, then leave a negative review without giving valuable input to the Dev team?

For example, nobody bother this user if you find them but this one as an example.

Bad: Style over substance. ♥♥♥♥♥♥ mobile game vibes. May be one of the most egregious UI nightmares I've ever laid eyes on. Battle pass. God-awful story, voice acting, etc. Shockingly bad tutorialisation and on-boarding. Wack as hell extraction mode.

Good: Robots are cool. Impressive, if outrageously horny character customisation. Extremely impressive, if micro-transaction-y mecha painting. Wack as hell extraction mode.



It's like if Armored Core had a baby with Anarchy Reigns and that baby was a predator and sexual deviant.

Do better. Don't pay for this.

"God-awful story,"
We literally don't know the story yet because it's still in development, so how can you comment on it if you haven't witnessed it? It's an intro of it's begging, it barely registered to me that there are probably aliens involved.

"voice acting,"
It's literally marked in each line how it says it's not the final voice over. Why would you leave a negative rating on a work in progress that specifically tells you that it's a work in progress and not the final product?

"if outrageously horny character customisation. "
You mean women that look like women? That's starting to make the comment even more sus, who sees normal looking women, be it thicc or anime girl-ish and calls it "outrageously horny" for being attractive? A 10 year old?

"if micro-transaction-y "
Bish theres not even a store, it's been down the very day you posted that review, Beta came out today without a store. Nani tf?

"sexual deviant."
Por que?

"Do better. Don't pay for this."
It's a free demo.

There were alot of reviews like this, unsubstantiated claims of spyware, criticisms of a story they are yet to witness, voice lines that are not the final product and what I presume are woke asylum escapees thinking the game is porn. There were many legit looking reviews too, but the bad ones are truly tragic.

Did I miss something though, any merit to spyware panic, was there something in the store that I missed?

It being B2P is a fairly significant reason.

Why would anyone try that game(let's pretend it has immaculate gameplay) if the characters all look ugly and it requires upfront investment to play? Especially when its competitors are all f2p.

Probably won't be B2P though, I think that's something we expect more from AAA titles to try on a game like this.

Which is why this game wouldn't be concord.

You'd have to uninstall all games that use it and it should uninstall on the last game as I understand it. Last I checked this is the current list.

Arena Breakout: Infinite
The Bornless
Free Fantasy Online [zh]
Goddess of Victory: Nikke
Honor of Kings
Call of Duty: Mobile
Arena of Valor
Dragon Raja
Strinova
Dungeonborne
Delta Force
Infinity Nikki
Mecha Break

Beautiful post. I've actually never seen something this strange lol - Review bombing yet theyres 230k+ Players (as of this second). The complaints are almost like they've not played the game past the first online mission you do. They're treating it like a full game release when is explicitly stated as OBT (Open Beta Test) Demo.
Some of the Mecha complaints don't make sense, the P2W complaints are a joke. So many of these Mecha's are lethal regardless of how cheap/expensive/f2p they are.
Im pretty sure its just typical steam discussion baiting for awards.

You can see there is a pass to buy to make you be able to get way more loot and better loot from the extraction mode. That loot in turn makes any mech you use way stronger in any mode you play in. Making a big circle of pay to win, just trying to be a little bit sneaky with it.

Are we really arguing over 1% stat boosts??? Go outside mate, this is not P2W.

[Nekkuraba]

I really like the game and I'm going to play it anyway but the definition of P2W is paying for an advantage on other players
Paying for the ability to unlock Strikers faster sounds like an advantage
Why should players call this kind of mechanic otherwise?

Any boost is too much of a boost. It destroys the fairness and integrity of competing.

It doesn’t though let’s be realistic here you’re just pre ejaculating all over the place because you’re a overly paranoid person that believes without a reasonable doubt the game will fail.

Once you put that wild imagination to better use you'll achieve great things, I bet.

So it's NOT pay to win but you think it will be pay to win? See this is what I mean, how can someone leave a negative review calling it P2W when it's objectively not just because of what they think might happen. As far as I know anyways since as I said I can't see yet.

You'd need to be hyper gullilble or naive to think this won't turn into a P2W stat check fest with the systems in place.

You'll be able to buy the yellow currency which'll let you buy credits which'll let you buy stuff... the writing is on the wall for anyone who's been through this before.

So review it negatively THEN.

Are the unlockable Strikers infinitely better than the Strikers that you can get really early? If yes then it is definitely p2w, if no then it is not really p2w.

You just unlock mechs to have different playstyles, every mech has their strengths and weaknesses, there is no mech that is best at everything at a p2w scale. If that sort of logic is the case then LoL and other moba games are heavily p2w with all those locked champions.

True, I like spamming stego because tanky, but light mechs slut shame me into oblivion going around me in circles, as I rightfully deserve.

[Mitty]

Are any of the mechs animal shaped so I can play Zoids while the rest play Gundam?

[Kirei]

game is great but its being bombed by idiots.

Giving the player more tactical choice by giving them access to more choice is an advantage regardless of the game
I understand that this is a generally accepted practice but I'm not going to fame because it's more acceptable in some cases

such practices must be condemned regardless of the context
