Oof. No pre-orders, kids!
And yet steam users have rated it 84% favorable. Weird how it’s so wildly different than critics and metacritic users (though, to be fair, metacritic gets reviewbombing and all kinds of hate trains choo choo)
Reviews all seem to say fun game but get on a sale. Wonder if there’d be more success if it launched at a lower price like palworld, since movement looks enjoyable like Sunset Overdrive but I think only die hard fans are willing to pay the $70 price tag.
Yea, some of them mention “it’s decent if it were 30 $/£/€”.
Also, on the
salt minesSteam forums there’s some mentions of unfavorable reviews being deleted, dunno how much credibility there is for such claims.Steam does remove the occasional wave of reviewbombing, but AFAIK only when the reviews focus on some aspect not directly related to the game. Would be weird if they allowed publishers/devs delete reviews.
It would be very weird for steam to go out of their way to protect suicide squad, but not Starfield. So probably more conspiracy.
I’m not defending this game but the title is a bit misleading… according to SteamDB the peak concurrent player count was Saturday 5pm 13.5k, then at 5am ET Sunday it was 6.3k, then now in Saturday afternoon it is 12.8k again. It’s not like half the people refunded it overnight, necessarily.
We will see if interest wanes quickly by looking at the trend over the next week or two.
It looks like the stuff that Warner Bros. put in to make this IP a cash cow just made it boring and dry.
Its a shit game.period
It didn’t have to be. Good job rocksteady
Blame WB Games. The devs just did what they were told by the publishers, and that was to make a shitty live service superhero game.
