You will enjoy games more if you can avoid the 'reviews' which are just opinions. The refund policy is a great thing. It allows you to form your own without consequences.
If the game was great, the reviews would be Overwhelmingly Positive or Very Positive. When the reviews are Mixed, that means the game is NOT great.
It is possible to use spell check on Steam forums. The word "consume" is not difficult.
Reviews are common across all consumer product industries. When people cars, they typically read reviews, watch video reviews, etc. When people go to the movies, they typically read reviews from critics, listen to people they trust, etc.
The practice of reading reviews before purchasing a consumer good is not strange or odd or even problematic in any way; it is a normal part of every day life - with the exception of gaming industry.
ONLY in the gaming industry are people encouraged to disregard the views and opinions of others in order to "experience the game for themselves." I've never understood this logic, and quite frankly, I only started noticing it appear as the result of games appearing on the Xbox platform.
Now, I don't know if this game is from a Xbox-studio or not; I'm not here to bash Xbox, but this person's comment stood out to me because it sounds like they embody the logic of a Xbox user who is more interested in defending their platform than acknowledging that games are sometimes launched with flawed design elements and have a variety of areas for improvement. All of which of things that are pointed out in reviews of the game.
So, to conclude - reviews are helpful. Sometimes, they lead people to making more informed buying decisions. If I see a bad review that causes me to not try a game YOU like, it's okay. I'm interested in consensus and I'm comfortable missing out on a game if the consensus on a game's reception is mediocre or poor.
Steam really does attract the lowest common denominator to these forums. I would prefer not to see these types of low vibration / low brain-function comments on my posts in the future. Try harder.
Developers are not given a chance to prove themselves.
Worked very hard, and you straight up complain that the game is bad that you didn't play to the end.
And what's saddest of all is? that you're asking for a refund because of the negative reviews.
I like the energy of your post. I truly do. But guess what? The chance for developers to prove themselves was with the INITIAL LAUNCH/RELEASE of the game.
I'm not sure how you were raised, but I grew up in a time where first impressions mattered.
Oftentimes, you only get ONE chance to make a first impression. In those situations, you have to put your best foot forward. Otherwise, you will miss your moment (or have your game refunded on Steam).
1- you should never pre order, and even more so when this game has been announced as a day 1 gamepass title..so you could totally try it there before making rushed and dumb and blind decisions like a...PRE ORDER!
2- follow reviews strictly whwn games are subjective, you can acknowledge bugs, technical stuff not wdoing great but a game's opinion has to be yours.
