Our Rules:

1. Keep it civil.


Attack the argument, not the person. No racism/sexism/bigotry. Good faith argumentation only.


2. No sexism, racism, homophobia, transphobia or any other flavor of bigotry.


I should not need to explain this one.


3. No bots, spam or self-promotion.


Only approved bots, which follow the guidelines for bots set by the instance, are allowed.


4. Try not to repost anything posted within the past month.


Beyond that, go for it. Not everyone is on every site all the time.

What game has so mich playtime until people give it a downvote?

[–] plm00@lemmy.ml 43 points 1 month ago (1 children)

From what I've seen it means the game used to be good (or had good potential), then the developers messed things up.

Reminds me of disco elysium, but there not the dev but there publisher messed up...

Usually games as a service, they'll release a large patch or expansion that makes significant, unpopular, changes. So lots of long time fans will review bomb it, in a good way, to show their displeasure.

It's sometimes works too.

One does not even need to review bomb as a single update can easily ruin a game. After that it's no longer comparable to the game one was playing for possibly thousands of hours.

Sometimes its strategy games like city builders and 4Xs that can be addictive without being enjoyable
