@areanynamesnott: Heh, this is not the first time that I have seen a disappointed former fan exaggerating broken promises as proof of corruption.

With that said, when the development of the game took a hiatus for a few months because one of the game designers lost a family member, I knew that the development of the game is going to fall even shorter of expectations.

@Gelugon_baat: Broken promises? That's like the tamest thing you could have drawn from that. Did you see the screenshot? A very popular negative review is censored directly by the developers. It doesn't matter what it actually says, though it does break down the many problems with the game. The devs. Censor. Reviews. They did this in Early Access as well on the forums, after release they've actually gotten worse!

And the whole 3 deaths in the family for 6 months thing... at best it is statistically improbable. At worst? While they delayed they were always on Twitch or Twitter and have done plenty of scummy things. What's pinning delays on the deaths of relatives, who might or might not be quite dead yet sir?

@areanynamesnott: "Very popular" indeed. It was close to a 50-50 break. Its popularity is not unanimous.

Also, I had indeed read what I could from the screenshot. It does seem like an abusive post to me - too many conspiratorial allegations with flimsy circumstantial "evidence".

I will tell you this right now - if you are looking for support at GameSpot, you are looking at the wrong place. There are many people who will of course look at this thing your way, but there are just as many who would scoff at you for having blown something out of proportion.

Again, I repeat: You are not the first to exaggerate expectation shortfalls as "corruption".

@Gelugon_baat: Here is what happened here, since you don't get it.

I make review.

Review gets absurd number of votes.

Groupthink brigade comes out and shills, and rating drops 90% > 60%.

Review gets massive attention from all sides.

Shills desperately try and bury it. They fail.

Developers eventually prove they CAN alter reviews, despite lying that they cannot by flagging it. This removes the review from the most helpful list, preventing it from being seen unless you dig around for it.

Also, this is far from the only place I'm raising awareness. They use media as a weapon, so...

@areanynamesnott: I have been 'here' longer than you have. It doesn't work the way you say it.

Also, you are not the first to write all that. That's so much tin-foil hattery disguised as "raising awareness".

@areanynamesnott: I heard that before too. Tin-foil hatters typically believe that what they know is true and will bend any fact to justify their belief.

@Orontes13: ?It really will. In fact anyone who says stuff like that they immediately assume is me, even if it's someone on the other side of the planet. They then all attack, which the developers allow and even thank them for while being directly responsible for the censoring bans on any naysayers. So why are people positive about this game anyways? Very simple. Supporters of this game universally belong in 1 of 3 groups:

-The aggressive attack animals, which have already been covered.

-People that don't know any better, or are being tricked or manipulated in some way (most media outlets go here, and you can tell they're not really paying attention when they use pre alpha footage for the game...)

-People getting paid off in some way (there's probably a few media outlets here, mostly this is streamers though as streamers are the only reason this game ever had any presence in the first place.

There is also significant overlap between the first and third groups, with some streamers who disapproved of their hyperaggressive advertising contacting me under the condition of anonymity and telling everything they knew. Which admittedly wasn't much, they're super secretive as shady devs generally are.

If it were not for the sheer lengths they will go in making a sale and silencing critics, it would be comedy gold - GotY every year just watching them posture at being hardcore for winning a game they can't lose and where winning is literally picking the classes that do 50 damage instead of the classes that do 5 damage. But because they will take it that far, even engaging in cross forum harassment and real world crimes it's a damn shame no media outlets will actually LOOK at them instead of blindly praising based on hearsay, because then their biggest weapon will turn against them in an instant.

Oh by the way, seen the reviews for the game? They were predominantly negative for a good 6 months, and for good reason. Sure some of those were people complaining it was "hard" because they didn't make the obvious correct choices, but most were because, in one way or another the game was declining in a way that is obvious even for a layperson.

It won't look like that now though. Reddit is their safe place - where all the corruption gathers and supports their groupthink mentality, which they can enforce with mass downvotes and shadowbans and the like. They had them manipulate the reviews, and in a few days 100+ negative reviews were buried, and around 20 positive reviews written 12/28 or later got artificially raised. All so the store page won't condemn them on release.

Hey Gamestop, you listening? Interview me about the Darkest Dungeon scam, I'm game.

New HOMEWORLD!?!?!!

Best gaming news I've heard in a long time. But it's all a prequel, to before the people left Karak, and ground based?

Still exciting.

@dlaney34: Worst news i just heard is Glen Frey - Guitarist and frontman for the Eagles died , only 67 . Tough last few days losing true legends in Bowie, Alan Rickman and now Glen Frey.

I am glad we have games as a distraction :)

I know nothing of most of those games so I cannot comment on them. I have followed Darkest Dungeon's development since the beginning and the TL:DR is that it is a classic Early Access scam, complete with every hallmark thereof.

-Glacial development pace.

-Questionable balance, exasperated over time.

-Nonsensicial design decisions.

-Censorship of criticisms.

-Hyper aggressive advertisement.

-Focused entirely on looking good instead of being a good game.

-Community is more toxic than any other, even classic standbys such as MOBAs and attacks as attack dogs for the developers, even committing actual crimes against devoted critics.

-Developers have deliberately surrounded themselves with such people and encourage their behavior.

-Aside from their attack dogs, and whatever uninformed people they can trick and manipulate including many members of the gaming media they don't have any support anymore, as the original target audience (those seeing a Hardcore Roguelike about making difficult decisions) very quickly realized they would not get any of that here and those who did not simply leave in Feburary in favor of other games witnessed a very shocking and very rapid decline - or whether, we realized for all the potential this game seemingly had at first, it would never realize any of it and would move further away every patch.

Now if you want a game about making obvious choices, where you just run around and spam damage with high damage characters because every other mechanic and dynamic in the game is not viable, if you like infinitely grinding resources in dungeons that run the same as each other and the same as all the other runs, if you like always doing the same things in the same way - that is, if you are looking for a game that literally can and has been run successfully by basic scripts, and you can completely distance yourself from and disregard absolutely everyone else associated with the game? You might get a few hours out of the unique art style and novel, if incredibly out of place narration. By the time that wears off though you start seeing repeat everything, and it's been 5 hours so no refund for you. So if that's what you want I suggest a loot farming game with interesting itemization and better graphics. Whatever you pick, corrupt developers like that don't deserve your money.

@areanynamesnott: I absolutely agree with you on all points. Glad to hear all that spoken out loud. And yes, saying these things in the steam forums will get you burned as a heretic by jobless basement dwelling psychopaths trying to look hardcore.

I'm definitely picking up the first 3 tomorrow. RE HD was great, especially since I didn't get to play the original when it came out, Darkness Dungeon - I haven't touched since I don't touch early access stuff so I don't get spoiled/bored when the finish product gets out and Blade and Soul looks awesome and I'm probably gonna do the same thing I did in Guild Wars 2, level up and forget about it, but I had fun in that time I leveled up and this one looks fun too.

@hampton2003: Did Gamespot play through some of it with the developer a long time ago? Like a preview video, or maybe early access version?

The Homeworld game is going to be a ground based strategy game? Sounds like typical cashgrab off a name. Oh well, after watching E8 I have lost all hope of remakes ever being any good. 2016 still looking like a boring year for gaming.
