Whaaah, the dev took away my ability to exploit a bug and balanced a boss, worse game ever, -100/10
- those children

To be fair, its a single player game. If the player wishes to exploit bugs to play the game that way, then the player should be able to.
Passerby6497@lemmy.world 3 days ago
Sure, but I’d the dev wants to patch out unintended behavior or mechanics, they can do that as well. If the player wants to play with broken mechanics, install mods like the rest of us.

It’s not
thingsiplay@lemmy.ml 3 days ago
Ok, fair I guess. Does it have player vs player mode? That was what I was thinking off.

There are leaderboards and daily challenges.

I mean I’m the sense that they shouldn’t be penalized, sure
But if the exploit gets fixed, they don’t have a right to complain about that. With some exceptions. If it makes a game iconic or something, that should at least have a way to play with that.
But crying because your game breaking glitch is patched and now you lost one way to just have easy mode is just not a valid critique to make.

In an early access game, no less. The game isn’t even done. This should be expected by the players.

That’s a Steam issue with automatic updates. I much prefer games that distribute on their own and let you download any of the old versions you want. I’m not the type of person who plays old versions to exploit bugs in a single player game, but I don’t have any issue with people who want to do that.

And again that’s fine, but fixing the game to fix actual technical issues or unintended mechanics isn’t a good reason to rate a game down. People always like playing with certain broken mechanics, but fixing the actual game should be call for pause, instead of neglect.
Again, maybe with certain exceptions. Sometimes the issue can make a game iconic as hell. But usually it just makes a game easier.
But unless it breaks the game, which nothing here seems like it’s that severe.

I was under the assumption this game was single player only. For multiplayer games, I am not saying anything, because exploits and bugs should be fixed. Below defending part of this reply is about single player games, which does not apply to this game.
But for single player games, if someone wants to cheat or abuse an exploit, it should be their decisions. And there is no need to shame anyone for doing so. That is like hacking a game and doing whatever you want (well its not the same off course). My point is, if it does not harm anyone, then they have the right to get upset for patching that out if it was part of what was fun to them. Off course getting upset over patching an exploit is just silly. And its even more silly to downvote a game for. But still, I can understand, because they had fun with it.

People review bomb games that add or take away things that didn’t even affect gameplay in the slightest.
For Lunacid, there was an update that allowed you to choose your character’s pronouns when you started a game; this has literally nothing to do with how you play the game, how NPCs interact with you, or literally anything other than just some flavor text. If you go into the steam forums and read reviews for the game you’ll see so many idiots harping on and on about how the game “used to be” great until they added pronouns, and now it’s literally unplayable.

Yeah, this is basically any kind of media these days. It’s rampant on Rotten Tomatoes. To the point where I’ll watch a decent show, and as soon as I see someone who might be nonbinary, I know the user reviews on RT are going to be artificially low and filled with “would have been good if it didn’t have identity politics in it, 0 stars” reviews.
Because a nonbinary person simply existing is enough to ruin the experience for them. Fucking losers.

I haven’t seen reviews for that show Will Trent (my mom loves it, she’s watched it all), but I just know there will be plenty of arbitrary negative ones because of a certain character who constantly walks around with a tiny chihuahua.
