"Review Bombing" is a terrible term that attempts to discredit when consumers are not happy with the product.
THIS IS WHAT THEY TOOK FROM YOU
After over 1,000 hours in that game, I left my negative review a couple years ago and quit forever. The predatory monetization eats away at the fun. Slowly at first, but building up over time. It's just been bad decision after bad decision since the game came out. You slowly start to realize the game you've been playing isn't even fun anymore and you only play for the new cosmetics for fear of missing out. Daily challenges, weekly challenges, seasons, events, limited time game modes, premium skins, loot boxes, special legendary cosmetics for those that spend the most, vaulting content for a false sense of scarcity and slow progression. And now after all this, the one thing people could get from a one time purchase (if they grind hard enough) is gone. Honestly, I'd leave another negative review if I could.
I would have happily bought the game. I'm still having a ton of fun playing with friends.
But I have never, and will never, spend even a cent on it.
I left when I realized people weren’t aimbotting… they’re just using a controller and my keyboard/mouse ass is being auto-aimed at from medium and short distances.
Yeah, the fact that all the pro player switched to joypad was so sad
See that's insane to me, your spent 1000!! Hours. It was obviously a good game
That's not inherently true, though. What if 99 people out of 100 who play 1000 hours are fine, but the 100th has his brain broken and is addicted to giving the owner their rent and food money? The people who escape can still see the things that the game did to their brain and not suggest anyone else go down that path.
And yes, they're literally designed with that intention in mind, to create addicts. Escaping doesn't mean the experience was worth it.
Used to be. Hence why I don't play it anymore.
Is still a good game for people who had never played it. Even though you have seen and done everything and is done with the game
The problem is the game was developed by a (for the most part) loving studio with a vision and then EA started milking it dry.
The term "Review bomb" has lost it's original meaning at this point.
Every negative criticism of me must be a coordinated attack by 4chan! There's no other option.
Well from looking at steamdb, they have an additional 1500ish negative reviews today.
But it isn't a meaningful amount to actually catch the attention of the corpo meat suits yet.
It takes a few days for these things to pick uo steam.
impressive use of an idiom in a literal way appropriate to context.
Last time I saw an Apex article was when some hacker installed cheats on someone else’s PC during the championships.
"There hasn't actually been an immediate dip in Apex's player count"
Well then
I didn't realize they took away the apex coin option. That sucks.
I used to top up to unlock the next pass and bridge the gap when I play casually with friends.
Not sure I'm gonna be paying anymore towards this.
