TLDR: People are review bombing the game for poor performance and lack of endgame content. You can go look at the recent Steam reviews to see this.
Edit: wow people don't like it pointed out that people are unhappy with the game?

So we're calling legitimate criticism review bombing now?

I did and lot of people complaint unable to launch or crashes. How that is review bombing?
I would be pretty pissed too if I would pay 70 for game that does not work.

wrote on last edited by [email protected]I swear "review bombing" has to be an astroturfed term to delegitimize criticism when companies do shitty things.
It shifts the blame from the companies doing a shit thing (lacing their game with DRM/anti-cheat malware, making them run like shit unless you enable AI slop upscaling, shoveling AI """art""" assets, MTX, etc.) to the customers that are rightly mad about the shit thing.

I don't know why, but I feel like Capcom is just going to offer more DLC instead.

Review bombing is now criticism of a game I like
- people who are wrong

Compared to World and Rise? It's just not very good. It's by far the fewest hours I've put into a Monster Hunter game since... Well, literally ever.

Why do people bother with PC gaming again?
Never had a poorly performing game on my Series X. Even Cyberpunk 2077 ran perfectly on launch, I only experienced few minor graphical glitches once in a conversation with an NPC.Feels good man.

I don't think they truly understand their audience. Everything before the endgame is just a tutorial in MH. Yet, they usually ship the endgame with the DLC .
Then again, it sells anyways.

wrote on last edited by [email protected]The problem is that giving a bad review for performance is kind of (not exactly) like giving bad reviews to something that arrives broken. You never even used the thing how can you give it a 1 if you objectively cannot judge the items on its merits? Likewise you’re not judging the game itself but rather the fact that it does not run well on your hardware. Obviously the developers have responsibility for this, but if you’re a console player or have good hardware the criticism might not sound like a legitimate assessment of the game on its merits.

If it runs poorly on the recommended specs, bad reviews are warranted.

I agree, I’m just saying that the “vibes” of it are like that of giving a 1 star to an item that arrived broken, which is why people will call it review bombing etc.

- Mods
- fan patches
- backwards compatibility stretching back ~50 years
- indie games aren't always on consoles
- fewer subscription fees
- hardware can be cheaper over time depending on details
- games, especially older games, can go on sale for deep discounts
- piracy
- can avoid supporting megacorps like Microsoft and Sony
Just off the top of my head

But blockbusters always seem to have performance issues.
I have my series X for those major releases and my ROG Ally for indies. Gaming has never been better for me.

If an ordered item arrives broken once, it's a shitty delivery company. 1-star probably isn't warranted unless the company is shitty about replacing it.
If an ordered item arrives broken regularly, it's a problem that the company should've fixed.
If a game doesn't work on one person's machine, maybe they've got a bunch of malware installed or something.
If it doesn't work on many people's machines that meet the recommended specs, the company is at fault and deserves bad reviews.

On the Series X? Absolutely it did. I had some glitches with objects floating in cutscenes and that one cyber implant that didn’t work. Put 90 hours in.
