Nobody likes Half-Life: Alyx. (Reasons for it)

[Tighty-Whitey]

half life alyx has a negative reception for the most part. that's right, those reviews seem to look as if the game is successful reception wise, but it actually isn't. the only people who have something good to say about half life alyx are the ones who planned to buy the game regardless, even if the gameplay is mediocre. many people bought the game without even having a vr headset, they bought it only for the valve collection or to feel as if they own an "expensive" game made for expensive vr headsets only to look like as if they own the headset, when in reality they don't. those are the reasons people buy the game for, but who actually likes it? no one really enjoyed the game because there isn't much to it, it's short and the gameplay variety is simply not there. those reviews simply lie for the reasons i described above and combined with what the game has to offer, those reviews don't seem to be convincing. most people didn't buy half life alyx and feel no need to talk about and don't really like the game. everyone pretty much knows that it's just a marketing scheme, what Valve did, so no one really considers to buy it nowadays. by looking at how many players play the game on daily basis on SteamDB we'll see it's not popular.

You know that single player experiences aren't meant to have 20k players on it daily. Right? people buy it to experience it once and replay it every now and then.

Like anyone cares whether a game they like is classed as popular or not. The 'it's not popular' argument is classically used by people who have to believe the games they like and the choices they make are in some way superior to everyone else's. It's often a sign of peoples insecurity.

I personally only care that companies like Valve and others keep making games I like and can buy. The very fact that they do, and continue to, proves that there is a market for them and it's financially viable by whatever metrics they use. Nothing else really matters.

You're becoming ridiculous, please stop spamming a new novel every few days, or upping older ones when nobody cares about them. And please stop taking your desires for reality: nobody likes Alyx... with 97% positive reviews. Seriously... Whether you like it or not, you belong to a tiny (but very very loudy) minority. Please just cope with it.

It would be more correct to say that Alyx has little replay value once you finished the game. It's not an open world sandbox like Skyrim that a massive amount of people still play 15 years later.

Your logical fallacy is "Cherry Picking":

"You cherry-picked a data cluster to suit your argument, or found a pattern to fit a presumption."

That said try to put the horse before the cart next time you post, instead of the other way around.

lol this guy again.

[temps]

Lol you just assume people buy the game and leave positive reviews to make it look like they're enjoying an expensive game...

Citation needed.

Also, I very much enjoyed Half-Life: Alyx.

Jesus dude just go and read a good book and give it a rest. You're like a starved dog with a bone.

not many games are "meant" to have 20k players daily, but this one isn't even meant to have a 1000, it seems like.
