Steam reviews
- Thread starter CommanderGreyFox
- Start date
Yep it's just reddit group-think in action (and there are worse examples out there). The sheep mentality (which reddit encourages through downvoting dissenting voices into oblivion) simply doesn't suit a game where you are expected to educate yourself.
The same thing was done by redditors to one of Derek Smarts games, but that went a step further people bought the game put in a negative review then got a refund. Hopefully people don't have the same level of spite for ED that they do for DS.
Both ED and Horizons have more good reviews than bad. The reason that they have more negative reviews on the first page is because of the "helpful" method of up voting. Those negative reviews, every single one of them, scream entitlement. I wonder who is doing the upvoting of the negative reviews? The authors of the other negative reviews perhaps?
"I'm not being personally catered to, so I'm going to kick and scream and rant and use all the media tools at my disposal, until I get what I want.... for free."

The last place I'd ever go to read a review of a game is steam.
I have nothing against steam itself and have many games in my library, but steam forums and reviews seem to be populated by absolute potatoes no matter what title. Tbh I'm amazed most of the chumps that post on there actually know how to turn a computer on.

One shouldn't take Steam "reviews" seriously.
_
That said, one shouldn't release an AAA-priced DLC and label it 'Early Access'. That won't fly on Steam and Frontier should have known better.

THIS ^ I totally agree
I have no hesitation in recommending E: D or Horizons to anyone. I'd recommend Steam to no-one... Just another middleman taking a cut from the distribution channel.
Jeeeez Then ppl will understand that a Horizons NOT A GAME BUT A SEASON. In fact it's a SEASON PASS for the whole 2016. Comoon already.. Yes, the Planetary landing is not cost that much. But this is it. Then all updates will out you will understand what a hell of a LOT of stuff in here actually for this price. Why ppl are so.. nvrmnd. Happy new year to everyone.

Steam reviews are like IMDB votes. Most of them are made by either fanboys or professional haters, with very little actual unbiased, honest opinions.
Its like thinking about buying a sports motorcycle, and asking the opinions of Valentino Rossi and our own mother. You will get extremed positions for and against, with little actual level-headed pros and cons.

To repeat myself.
The people who are used with "blizzard style" or normal games that hold your hand and lead you on giving you stuff for little to no effort and only making you "feel" like you do effort are the people that seem to moan most about Elite
Would not take them to seriously, like you said, ED is a game where you have to find stuff, and you, the player, have to do stuff.
So if 100 people try it, most wont like it because its not a game that gives them this experience on a platter, but those that stick, stick around because its an amazing journey and experience to be able to play such a game in 2015 soon 16 and not be lead on by the developer in "you have to go do X now because taht is what we tell you, go on now and i'll follow you and help you don't worry you will get shinies soon!"
I love the fact that ED is not made for those that are imaptiant, and to find stuff myself, and read about other people finding stuff, I was in glee when I found my first system that no one had been in before, knowing I was the first player in the world to actually be there felt very nice!

People who are convinced devs have done them wrong are more motivated to skew review upvoting system to their POV than people with positive experience. Nothing new there. Same happened on metacritic site when ED was released.
Yep, It has to be a conspiration by the illuminati to sink this game and drive humanity into another era of darkness... No sane mind would ever believe that they are simply customers unhappy with the product.

Aye, I sincerely hope that those who are happily going around thumping the reviews actually took the time to read said reviews prior to passing judgement on the content thereof.

I'm a big fan of the game and I certainly don't want handholding, but even I will admit there's a value problem with Horizons just now.
Your comparison to a Blizzard expansion does not help E
. Blizzard frontloads content out of the box, dude. You launch the new wow expansion and immediately feel the substantialness of it. And if you don't, Blizz gets raked over the coals for it. And rightfully so.
Well, if you read the reviews they are just people who didn't investigate what they were buying, then realised what it was, and started crying.

Just now? How about when the entire season of updates is complete?

I have played WoW since Alpha, and I still enjoy WoW and other blizzard games, a lot. But saying WoW has content is stretching it, as the only new thing to that game is a selfie game, and besides that theres not been any new refreshing stuff to do, at least not till Legion pops about
People love to deny that, but for what its worth, from someone that has loved blizzard from their gaming life started till today, they love to hold your hand, the only pioneers in that game is the top .01% of the playerbase sadly. My point was mostly the fact that they hold the players hand so much, you can start today, and be level 100 by tomorrow in 1-2 days without any form of gear helping you, and not taking in account instant max level boost, if you use the boost you even get yourself half way endgame content cleared, they simply hand you the stuff it took most players a few days to get. And farming for something or striving for something, usually takes your average OK dedicated player a few weeks at most, the pioneers clear the hardest stuff, and guides start poping up that the rest feed of. and along the way is blizzard holding everyones hand making sure everyone gets a whole cake, not just one piece.
In WoD you can not do any form of activity in any way shape or form, that kind of doesnot throw gear at you that you will need because the game holds your hand to go into X raid. and its been like that since WOTLK, this will change in Legion but that was my comparison. And trust me, people are complaining about Legion left right center and all over, because any player with a semi sense of glee will see "oh I have to PLAY the game again, awesome!" but the main forums for wow, both official and unofficial are flooding over with several thousand long threads about how bad it is. that they have to play... I don't get these people at all, the kind that want to play games, yet not do anything for it.. where is the rewarding feeling? You can at the moment even get endgame gear, by sending NPC's to actually do your work for you, while you do, nothing, you can send them to get gear and log off....
And when a new game, in this instance Horizon comes around, a lot of these kind of players will try it, I agree that FD markets the game to be "wooo pew pew space lazer fights pew pew pew planets awesome!" which is kind of bad. Attracting these players who are used to be hand fed any given content there is, either by doing the same stuff over and over, and\or the development company holding their hands, and thhat is not only blizzard, I used them sinec WoW is such a great example of how bad the silver platter players can get. But it happens in most games, in most genres, and only tiny indie games seem to stray from that. I haven't gotten around to play SC or even look into that much, even though I pledged a long time ago, I'm waiting for it to be mostly complete, but if they take my hand and show me how the wheel turns and don't try to punish me for being bad, I personally am the kind of gamer that will not like that, where as the majority will love that. No Mans Sky looks to be the kind of pedigree that ED is. hearing people doing something and losing their whole ship and everything they had, because they didnt expect a planet to rotate, so when they returned to the ship from their space station, it was obviously gone as the planet had rotated from where they beamed up, The stuff I love, do a mistake that you could prevent? I SAY PUNISH!

And WHEN it is...i'll buy it fer a tenner just like ED, and I won't complain about it at all, just like i'm chuffed i got ED for a tenner even though it's still full of dodgy missions, cheating / cheap ai tactics etc, etc, but in my opinion , as it stands Horizons is no-where near a full priced game, just my opinion of course.

Failing to have a free trial of the game, the people are obliged well to read the reviews of others, before buying
