but you can only truely know the game after spending hundreds or thousands of hours on it.I always laugh when people who spent hundreds or even thousands hours playing a game are writing bad reviews in the Steam
So 30 minutes of gameplay has more value of a review than 100?I always laugh when people who spent hundreds or even thousands hours playing a game are writing bad reviews in the Steam
Exactly, the game has the skeleton but it lacks the meat.So 30 minutes of gameplay has more value of a review than 100?
I get your point but a sandbox grind should have over 40 plus hours of gameplay. BL can be played for thousands of hours, but what does it offer? Once you try to become a vassal or king you begin to see the limits of diplomacy and just the repeat of stupid campaign ai wars. The lack of so many little features like feast, garrison troop training, town building, lordship options, tournament options, i could go on and on make the game boring and pointless. Add the fact that many restarted new campaigns with new updates to see if changes improved will rack up you total hrs played. This doesn't mean the game is good. More so that we care and are hopeful.
I used to think like that. However, in games like Bannerlord, you spent lots of time progressing your character and your story and in the end, you want a satisfying end. Thus, when the end game and you do not feel like it paid your effort, you feel bad.I always laugh when people who spent hundreds or even thousands hours playing a game are writing bad reviews in the Steam
I think it's a little bit (I know, this is just a game, but the principle stands) like it is with cheating girlfriends.Yes, I understand we already bought the game under false pretenses but we can make other people second guess the decision to buy the game if we review bomb the game. What is everyone's thoughts on this?
I haven't reviewed it yet, 2.5k+ hours but I'm waiting till it's actually finished.
(IT companies lie about the amount of people working on something all the time),
same, 1.1k hours but not feeling like giving a review yet. Still waiting. My impression is overall positive though, other-wise I wouldn't have spent so much time to play it anyway. As long as nothing really bad happens in the development, and they deliver on some basic additions/polishes to the game + they support modders the best way that they can, I am happy with the product.I haven't reviewed it yet, 2.5k+ hours but I'm waiting till it's actually finished.
Less than 1%.We few people here in this forum aren´t important. We are like 3-5% of all customers? (customers = bought Bannerlord).
Why do you think they care about keeping the playerbase afloat? It is mostly an SP game (player numbers fall off a cliff after three months) and has zero monetization beyond the initial sales.I highly suspect that TW is counting on modders too to keep the playerbase afloat.
For brevity's sake, as someone who has spent thousands of hours with administrating all over the place in Multiplayer and modding both Warband and now Bannerlord: I would nonetheless very much like to "brigade" on our community forum, because Taleworlds made us bet money and time on this game's future and now seems to throw us out into the cold, damp streets. Either way, TW should probably prefer brigading here over brigading in other places without control.For brevity's sake, let me be perfectly clear: brigading on our forum is not allowed. Since discussion has shifted to individuals' opinions of their own reviews and the general state of the game, the thread is remaining open for now with this clarification in place and a notice added to the OP.
Also remember that review bombing is against Steam's Terms of Service.
This ^^It looks like TW devs are either too few (IT companies lie about the amount of people working on something all the time), or that the majority of them are incompetent and causing troubles for the skilled few. Whatever the case, it's dev hell.
