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

      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.

      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.

        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.

        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.

      Look any change, no matter how you feel about it, is going to make someone upset

      The sense of entitlement from a lot of gamers is really unbelievable

    Doormaker is the best thing that happened to Act 3. Right now Act 3 suffers from being too much of a victory lap, there's not much you have to do to prepare for the other bosses. The most fun runs I've had were when I had to scramble through the Act looking for solutions to get ready for Doormaker, picking cards and Ancient boons I rarely took before.

    Unfortunately, we can't have nice things because too many players want a power fantasy rather than a difficult strategy game. I've even heard people whine that A10 is too hard, not that the game as a whole is too hard, but that hard mode specifically is too hard and it would hurt their ego to just play a difficulty they're more comfortable with.

      We can have nice things because mega crit doesn’t need to care about steam reviews at all.

        I hope you're right.

    I hope they make it an option to use their placeholder art. The paint placeholders get me every time

      StS1 had unlockable beta art after completing the True Ending. I guarantee this will be back, once True Ending is a thing.
