As others have pointed out, you are wrong, its okay to be wrong, just accept it and move on.I see you haven't added a poll. Are you a coward? Or do you just think your position would lack the majority strength of this community?

My dad is stronger than your dad!
Yes, we are glitching through their shield wall right as we speak. Their cavalry is charging at us but they have T-Rex swords so we should be alright.How's the Grift-Gift war going? Have we broken through the enemy's lines yet?

66% of people who voted are over 50% disappointed in the game, you seriously over estimate how many people like the game on this forum
Since the private beta people who enjoy the game have been in the minority on this forum, only recently have more lunatics who somehow enjoy it appeared, but still you're in the minority and probably always will be
If you want some buddies you can back pat with and tell each other how much you like the game, reddit is the place
Now imagine if Steam had a rating scale of 1 to 10 (like this poll) - the average would be much less impressive than 87%. It's artificially inflated number with little meaning because of the rules/sucks rating system.on steam 147,349/168,782 (87%) reviews for this game are positive
and 84% of reviews in the last 30 days are positive
But I guess the 159 people in that poll knows better than the 168,752 people who bought the game and left reviews on steam
Damn normies that havent been around since warband dont know any better

A hell of a lot of those reviews have low hours, or, are actually positive "overall", but still full of criticism. Examples:on steam 147,349/168,782 (87%) reviews for this game are positive

in the poll 16.4% were 100% disappointed so 83.6% were 10 - 90% disappointed (there isnt even an option for 0% dissapointeted but there is one for 100%)Now imagine if Steam had a rating scale of 1 to 10 (like this poll) - the average would be much less impressive than 87%. It's artificially inflated number with little meaning because of the rules/sucks rating system.
Clueless normies who think they are clever are dropping in here every week and saying "but what about that Steam rating, checkmate haters". At least read the thread about Steam ratings first because we see this simplistic argument all the time.
As already said, posts over 100 hours still remain positive. And of course, some contain criticism, you can like a game but still want it to improve. Having some issues with a game won't cause someone to instantly leave a negative review.A hell of a lot of those reviews have low hours, or, are actually positive "overall", but still full of criticism. Examples:
Except it has also been shown that this forum doesn't reflect on the M&B community at large. In the post by Orion, the amount of people on this forum is small compared to the rest of the community, and to generalize using Orion's statement a lot of this forum are long term fans for the series, dating back to WB, which is the exact type of person who would be incredibly vocal if they didn't like BL.Now imagine if Steam had a rating scale of 1 to 10 (like this poll) - the average would be much less impressive than 87%.

YeahOh **** oh **** I'm getting involved in this thread and I told myself I wouldn't. OK no more posts here from me, unwatching the thread.


He didn't mention steam though did he you weapon, he said on this forumon steam 147,349/168,782 (87%) reviews for this game are positive

Even if you filter to just steam review with 100+ hoursAs for steam there's people with 3 hours played saying the game is good, but yes I'm sure they know enough. If you're relying on those people as an argument, well then you've hit rock bottom
It's already been explained to you why steam reviews are a terrible statistic to look at, the game hasn't peaked past 23,000 concurrent players since July 2020, some months averaging as low as 9000, I do not care how many times you parrots want to repeat 'steam reviews good!' just because you heard someone else say it, the fact is those people aren't playing the gameEven if you filter to just steam review with 100+ hours
its still 84% positive out of 22,484 reviews
I actually agree with you on the Steam reviews myself, although I don't think that the fact that most people like the game implies that it is a good game. I also think that the "Bannerlord was a grift" thing is just ridiculous and I have said as much in this thread. However I am around 100% disappointed in this game, but at the same time I don't blame the developers but rather the management which has been a gigantic cluster**** (I think everyone who has been following the development with attention agrees with me on this point).Although to be fair I probably would say Im like 40% disappointed. I'm not here to be a giant simp for the developers and the game does have a lot of issues, but I don't think its fair that the developers are getting so much hate. Lot of them just normal people just trying to do their jobs

Why are steam reviews bad? You brought up some of them dont have enough hours in the game to make an accurate judgement but those can be filter out? Five bucks pointed out their are a handful of joke reviews but having a few joke reviews doesn't invalidate the whole system. I would agree that the binary rating system does lead to higher than normal ratings, but you can still compare rating of games on steam to the rating of other games on steams in relative term, better games will get better ratings most of the time. There are tons of games on steam on that I would consider actual grift or shovelware and the rating on those games reflect that. Most of those games have ratings under 60% positive range and the rating on bannerlord shows its not in the same category as those game.It's already been explained to you why steam reviews are a terrible statistic to look at, the game hasn't peaked past 23,000 concurrent players since July 2020, some months averaging as low as 9000, I do not care how many times you parrots want to repeat 'steam reviews good!' just because you heard someone else say it, the fact is those people aren't playing the game
Why cant I bring this up? Its an open forum isnt it. I'm still sticking to the topic of this thread (bannerlord being grift) and I'm just disagreeing and providing evidence for why I feel that wayAgain nobody was talking about steam, I don't know why you brought it up
Because they're not definite, there are so many different motives and factors that you cannot just look at the base number and think it's conclusive in it's meaningWhy are steam reviews bad?

I don't know man, maybe because the post I replied to was talking about the forum community, hence why I showed a forum poll, if you need a little bit of help here's the commentWhy cant I bring this up? Its an open forum isnt it. I'm still sticking to the topic of this thread (bannerlord being grift) and I'm just disagreeing and providing evidence for why I feel that way
I don't really know what steam has to do with what he said or what I said, maybe you're just that insecure that you feel the need to white knight this game at any momentI see you haven't added a poll. Are you a coward? Or do you just think your position would lack the majority strength of this community?
Yeah, but most SP games have player activity drop like a rock. The exceptions aren't because of any sort of inherent quality but because they have DLC scheduled to counter the drop.It's already been explained to you why steam reviews are a terrible statistic to look at, the game hasn't peaked past 23,000 concurrent players since July 2020, some months averaging as low as 9000, I do not care how many times you parrots want to repeat 'steam reviews good!' just because you heard someone else say it, the fact is those people aren't playing the game
