6% Negative Reviews?

[Marcus101RR]

Those 6% must really have no common sense or logic, I couldn't think of one bad review to make for this game, even if it had a serious bug that prevented you from completing the game because everything else makes up for it...

Who are these 6% lol

[Groen90]

Rage quiters for ginso tree. Seriously there are too many of those. People give up way to quickly.
And other random stuff.
I havent seen any good negative revieus exept a few. I get its not for everyone but downvoting is a bit to exesive. And even when you soft lock you still have 5 backup savefiles so you can undo the damage to 0.
Some of them might be beceaus their game doesnt work but thats with every game. Its impossible to optimaze a game for every pc build.

The only complain i can give to the game is no option to change controls ingame. You can do it in the files but it should be a feature in the game. But thats all i can say. The rest is fantastic

Theres somes game-breaking bugs left in the game yet, if your PC shut down while playing theres a big chance from you losing the savefile, idk if it was patched (probably not) but it happened atleast 3 times with me

imo the unique fair point against Definite Edition is the additional sh*t rushed af story that even the devs used to hype the community during the teasers

Whats wrong with the aditional story then. Its extra content to know a bit more bout naru's back story and it teaches allot about the relation between creatures of light and dark.
And actualy there is one big lesson that they give you when experiencing a loss.
And loosing safefiles? I really never had that ever even when the game crashed. The only bug i had once was clipping trough the floor at sorrows pass but even that i just could continue playing.
But i do agree if thats a bug that ruins safe files they should fix it. Well now they wont beceaus they are working on another project

The firsts 2 cutscenes from DE story were absolutely good, making the player really feels the mysteoury place he was exploring (also the new areas were spetacular) and its was wonderful how everything was going but the 3º and last cutscene literally said ''f*ck dat now the story ends ok bye go back to the normal game'' and thats it, end of the content, alot of people got DE at the release mostly to the Naru's lore but got a little dissappointed by how fast and dry the story ended

I see what you mean, yeah it was a bit... too all of the sudden. its indeed the worst cutscene of the game. I woulnt call it bad but yeah it could use a bit more. still one cutscene doesnt make a bad game. how often I see people thinking a complete game is bad just beceaus they didnt like the ending its kinda stupid. something they could have done was maybe letting something happen somewhere else when you completed that section beceaus you idneed get there see the curscene and thats it. a small reward would be nice.

I'd argue against creating an echo chamber for yourselves. Yes, the game is good but player reviews exist for personal preference. Ori's platforming section is definitely not for everyone and is prone to massive difficulty spikes along with a few needleslsy cheap sections. People who don't enjoy platformers but bought the game on the premise of the cute visuals or mystical storyline wouldn't recommend it. Expecting a game to have 100% perfect reviews is being unrealistic and - I'd argue - biased.

No game is perfect, and this one is no exception. The good might outweigh the bad FOR YOU, but your opinion is not objective fact. Not really sure what you guys even want out of it, either. The game already has "Overwhelmingly Positive" reviews. Isn't that good enough?

Actualy the revieuw is based arround if you recomend it to others or not. not that you like it or not. for example you can dislike a game but still recomend it to others that you know who like these type of games. I can understand poeple not recomending a game beceaus of bad desing, poor company choices and so on.
the whole point of recomend and not recomend is totaly misundertood. and the biggest proble is that most not recomended revieuws are not even explaining why. they dont tell the flaws or what could be done better. at the end its these things we can use to learn from them.
for me a revieuw needs to have the folowing things to be acceptable: negative and positive elements of the game for both positive and negative votes, no lies, no cursing, no over dramatic emotions and a good structure. thats the minimum it needs.

from all i have seen all valid not recomended votes would be from 1-2%. there is too mutch garbage. it also changes the up votes aswell so it will rebalance the whole stuff but I wont go further in that.

Player reviews are not professional critic reviews. You cannot hold them to the same standards. All a player is strictly required to do is click thumbs up or thumbs down. Didn't like the game? Thumbs down, become a statistic. You can filter reviews for yourself, sure, but you don't get to argue what reviews a game "should" have.

This argument always crops up from people who like a game, as a means of discrediting negative reviews and praising the game. Ori has Overwhelmingly Positive reviews. That's good enough. Asking for more is not reasonable.

[ditt_25]

Potential Negative review reasons (Not saying I agree that these warrant a negative myself)?

The coupon and gift fiasco
Chinese support or lack thereof (at one point unsure if still issue).
Has problems on some laptops (integrated cards, etc)
"should have been free" whiners
Later release than X1 version
Microstutter
No cards despite pinend topic saying their coming

And then there's legit stuff, such as the difficulty and platforming (escapes, sorrow pass, Horu) sections being more difficult than those induced to buy due to the story and art style may expect.

And the intentional design decisions that people bash because it's different. Namely the more linear style compared to other metroidvanias and the combat being secondary to the paltforming/movement aspects.

And the no game is going to be 100% positve rec is true on anything with enough reviews. Even a niche game that nails it for that specific niche (say, the first month or so of Undertale's release, before all the overexposure, fandom, hatedom, backseat gaming, and spoiler spam got way out of hand) only got 98% positive. Pretty sure that percentage is at sub-Ori levels nowadays though.

That's my impression of it, as well. Expecting a near-perfect score for a game is not reasonable nor really necessary for the score to even matter. Overwhelmingly positive is still overwhelmingly positive. Slightly less so recently, but that's what happens with sales. People grab games because they're cheap without doing much research because hey - it's $10 and it looks good.

Besides, I like Ori and I don't need 98% approval rating to justify that opinion to myself. The game is already both financially and critically successful. I don't see why it even matters that there exist people who dislike it and don't recommend it for the "wrong" reasons. Hell, where do people even see these negative reviews to begin with? I had a quick scan through the reviews section and it's all positive reviews unless I deliberately go looking for the negative ones.
