I'm not saying we should ignore negative reviews, just saying that the ones on this game arn't the best. Most of the reviews were outdated, and some were straight up there fault. What these reviews did was point out some things that the player didn't like, and allowed me to decide whether those points mattered enough to me or not.Īt the end of the day, telling people to ignore negative reviews is as reasonable as telling people to ignore positive ones - this is not at all a balanced approach towards keeping consumers informed. I for one found some negative reviews to be very useful, even though that didn't put me off from purchasing the game in the end. Originally posted by IxianMace:Negative reviews, just like positive ones, vary in how useful they are in giving a potential buyer information that will help them determine whether or not a game is worth a purchase. This review has a lot of subjective elements and might be a bit outdated now, but it did raise some interesting points that helped me get a clearer picture about Subnautica:Īt the end of the day, telling people to ignore negative reviews is as reasonable as telling people to ignore positive ones - this is not at all a balanced approach towards keeping consumers informed. The point made in this review about random map generation is correct: Learn to distinguish the subjective from the objective, and then make up your own mind. Of course, it got downrated to oblivion, despite the detail I put into it.Īnyway, the lesson is simple: Don't ignore negative reviews, and don't take them as an attack on the game. I left a negative review to try to warn people about my experiences. I specifically brushed off my concerns after reading some negative reviews because the game was so highly rated when I should have come into the game with the mindset that I was buying the game at my own risk with the possibility that I might experience these problems. I've bought a game that had a 95% positive rating and had to give a negative review due to my experiences. I'm finding many more positive reviews to be far less useful than negative ones due to them simply being one-liner Internet memes, or just not giving any details explaining what the player liked about the game that warranted a positive review. Just because someone doesn't agree with a review, that doesn't make the review useless. There are subjective and objective elements in any review. You might find the game entertaining beyond 50 hours. What these reviews did was point out some things that the player didn't like, and allowed me to decide whether those points mattered enough to me or not.Īlso, it's worth considering that when someone posts a comment like, "There's only 2 hours of gameplay at the moment", that may or may not be true for you. Negative reviews, just like positive ones, vary in how useful they are in giving a potential buyer information that will help them determine whether or not a game is worth a purchase. Who said I didn't like mp or anyone else? The devs arn't making mp because they want to focus on other things(I wish they wouldn't, I can agree MP would add much to this game.) I don't know if you can properly judge someone as a "casual bad gamer" over a 2 sentence post over the internet. If you use video games as a judgement of person or opinions, you're a silly goose.Īlso, insulting people over debates makes it harder to accept new perspectives and arguments, it's a bit immature.ĭid you watch any videos of this game before playing it, because I wasn't just talking about finding stuff, I ment I also like to take the time to look around and see the games beautiful artwork and graphics. WAAAA I just want to swim around and collect stuff and build so everyone should be forced to do the same. WAAAA I don't like scary monsters or challenge so everyone should be forced into playing my little pony underwater. WAAAA I don't like MP so everyone should be forced into single player. The sad part is it could have options to still cater to that crowd but still be challenging and intense for others. Seriously the casual bad gamers this game targets really make me sick because this game could be so awesome. Lol wut? My first play through took me at most a couple extra hours to find all that stuff without looking at the wiki. The only way you could get everything that fast is if you read up on the wikipedia, something you should rarely do in this game.
