What is wrong with you people?

[[BORG] Karbulot [TN]]

"I won't buy Dead Island 2 because it needs Epic", "I won't buy Hogwards Legacy because Rowling is a sexophobe", "I won't buy Atomic Heart because it was made by Russians". What will happen when the new S.T.A.L.K.E.R. comes out? You won't buy it because you don't support Ukrainian ologarchs?

People, calm down. I'm not a fan of Epic either. I don't like their bandit politics. But I won't give up the game I've been waiting for 11 years just because it's proposed to link my account to Epic to be able to play with people from that platform. After all, when you buy a game on Steam, you don't pay for Epic? So why are so many arguing so much? Dambuster Studios is a company with little experience. For them, this game is a great opportunity to become famous. They did the game very well. But because of a many haters, a game they put a lot of work into is getting low ratings. They should take away your ability to write reviews, since instead of the game you are reviewing the tussle between Steam and Epic. How old are you? In my country there is a saying: "To spite my mother, I will freeze my ears off." And that's exactly what you're doing. You buy the game to denigrate it and then refund it. Do you know how you hurt the game's creators with this behavior?

Did you know that Dead Island 2 and many games use the Unreal engine? This engine belongs to Epic. And by buying these games you support Epic? Maybe you should stop buying these games now. Or stop buying games altogether, just take the toys and go back to kindergarten, because that's where you are mentally. I don't like Epic. But I learned to coexist with him, because I know I would lose a lot of fun games because of it.

game is so ♥♥♥♥ and boring anyway it deserves bad reviews

I mean the 73% metascore has been public for a year and I think it's a valid score.

so is Gone Home better than this? it has 86%

ill take the opinion of a hundred tards who use their own pocket money rather than those decorations

Gone Home is not comparable, you could also pick any highly rated visual novel, these games are completely story-driven and if you aren't really interested in the topic, they won't resonate with you.

And honestly pick any visual novel on Steam with 99% positive ratings, chances are high I won't enjoy them.

With Dead Island 2 it's way easier to review it more objectively, there are gameplay elements that can be judged and compare them to other games.

While DI2 has the best 1on1 zombie slaying, it lacks in other aspects compared to other open world games, even in the zombie genre.
There are no hordes, no vehicles, no destructive environment.

And in the case of Dead Island 2 steam reviews are even lower than the 73 metascore, because most people just whine about Epic and Denuvo.

best 1on1 zombie slaying? what about literaly tens of hundrets other zombie games , state of decay games , dead rising games , dying light games , dead island games

as person who plays quite a lot of these DI2 is just unfun , only reason i played it is i was already past my refund window and wanted to finish story to judge it , lots mechanics are odd , world is small , linear to ♥♥♥♥ , short , weapons are uninspired , story is boring , most time i played it i just wished i was playing dead island/riptide or other zombie game

i agree with steam score , id give it 5+ 6 at absolute most out of 10 , get on big sale only.

just disregard the MAGA morons who are whining about epic online services without a clue what they are hating about, most of them already have it installed from one of the thousands of multiplayer games on steam thats been using it before diead island 2, if there hadnt been issues with it at launch no one would have noticed it just like they dont know they have been using it for years already

you can disregard a lot things but 1 thing you cant is epic game store since it been created not had single dollar of profit yet

whats worse in 2 past years they had massive revenue drops who hits even harder if your running unprofitable store

i usually dont want to discuss lawsuit drama , but best thing who came out with apple vs epic , is epic had to publish their profitability records

if you want other store GOG is great alternative. but sadly not all games are sold there.

Gamers have become one of the most braindead consumers in all of media, it's pretty hilarious.

100% agree with this thread.

Exactly my thoughts on this topic in general, not just for Dead Island 2.

And yes, I also dislike Epic and their holding games hostage as exclusives. I never buy on Epic and i do not even use epic store not even for free games thats how much i dislike it, because it's a bad service and a bad store.

But once the game is finally on Steam, it's over, the sin is absolved, welcome back home lost son and all that.

Gave you 10.000 Steam Points in awards simply because you seem to be one of the rare people who are NOT idiots about such topics nowadays.

Well said.

You are always complaining about video game prices. If being a shill gets you paid, might be time to start shilling Jacky. Seems like you need it

Dear OP what you are experiencing is sheepism. IMO all of those Epic related reviews should be removed, since it's review bombing. Those people are misguided as likely the game wouldn't exist without Epic money due to development hell it's been through.

Dead Island 2 seems like a fun game. That's enough. Quoting Dambuster Studios -their answer to "What is Dead Island 2" was: "zombie gorefest" and "pulp extravaganza". They went for it and provided it. And further down the line they got asked about features they wish they had in the game and what affected those, that's when they locked eyes with the reviewer and responded in unity "scope". Dambuster started from scratch and made the game in 4 years, which is very short for a title this size. The studio is below 200 staff.

I really hope we get an announcement about Dead Island 3. In the meantime, I'll take the opportunity to grab a copy of DI2 soon.

Massive revenue drop? what?

EGS revenue:
2023: $950 Million (16% increase)

2022: $820 Million (2% decrease)

2021: $840 Million (20% increase)

2020: $700 Million (3% increase)

2019: $680 Million

There isn't any massive revenue drop going on.

Companies running at a loss is normal, even for many years. Disney planned on running a loss on Disney+ for years, though sure they ran at a loss higher than expected, but the point is they started up Disney+ knowing they would be running at a loss for years to come. Tesla, Unity, Spotify, Netflix are other companies that ran at a loss for many years.
