>>741508930Terrible feeling. I once gave feedback on a game and the devs implemented it resulting in the second game not having as good of reception of the first. Made me realize not all of my ideas are good since while the mods I've made have millions of downloads, that doesn't always translate into being right every time.
>>741509636What game is that? I think I vaguely remember a gacha that removed lines about another male because players were mad.
>>741508486>game dev listens to the loud normalfags>game becomes shit
>>741509389At what point do devs keep saying this before people realize they suck at their job? Everything I've ever heard about Destiny 2 before Marathon came into the equation was almost every new thing added either sucked dick or came with some annoying caveat. Makes it hard to believe how people can express sadness over Destiny 2 eating shit when it sounds like it would've been only been downhill still with another new Destiny.

>>741510392Ok, now you made me curious about what game are you talking about and what change they did.
>>741510392Share with us your best and worse ideas so I can tell if they are stupid or not.
>>741508486I liked the comic, loved it even
I love talking to devs
>leave scathing review and point by point dismantling of everything wrong with the game on steam reviews >dev responds having a full emotional breakdown and apologizing>feel absolutely fucking awful about it even though the state of the game legit made me angry at him
>leave a really meanspirited and offensive review>devs thank me for sharing my opinion
>>741508486name 1 (one)
>>741511117I've never spoken to anyone who has put substantial time into Destiny 2 and described it as a positive experience but I've never actually been able to pinpoint whats so bad about it.
>Make a suggestion on the forums>Detailed description of mechanics, visual aid, diagrams and shit>No replies, no engagement>I guess it wasn't that good of an idea>Fast forward 3 months>Suggested feature gets implemented>People are going insane at how much more convenient it made the game for them and how glad they are to have the feature
>>741515579From what I understand it becomes a messy slog when you get to the more end game content, and the devs made mistakes with balancing and updates that made the experience worse
>release game>get several positive reviews and a single negative one>"I liked this game but *complains about a missing QoL feature*>said feature is literally included in the game and he somehow missed it
>>741508971Excuse me saar.

>>741515715>game has no tutorial! downvoted>the game does have a tutorial, but it's a menu option, not something you're forced to playStuff like yellow paint is put into games for a reason
>>741508930I'm scared that I did this to the dev of my favorite deckbuilder. It has like 40 reviews so he gets basically no feedback except for me, and at this point half the game is just my ideas, and he's burned out on development and isn't doing anything and I'm worried I ruined the game for him with my ideas that he felt obligated to add because of how dedicated I am.
>>741510392took me a while to realize "free and popular" doesn't always translate into "paid and popular" toohard lesson to learn
>>741509636Good. NTRetards must suffer.>>741510895I don't get why you would make a game for broken men whose only recourse is imagining themselves having sex with anime women in bad games, and then you just shatter the illusion and remove the only reason to play your bad game.
>>741515343I know a dev who gets badly hung up on negative reviews and I had to teach him not to engage with them for the sake of his own sanity.Your story reminds me of Kiseff breaking down on Atlyss steam forums because of complaints made about changes to one of the classes. It hurt to see him letting a bunch of retards get under his skin. He's a good lad but he's so unstable, he shouldn't ever have to talk to his playerbase.
>>741515779He kinda should've known known better than to expect a courteous greeting from this place. Should've at least gotten a tripcode, that's literally what they're made for. Kind of on him for being a dork.
>>741508930>game dev listens to subhuman streamers>game immediately dies after

>>741516419name one game where that actually happened
>>741508930>fighting game dev listens to your feedback>but they go further than what you suggested>game gets worse>character you actually enjoyed fighting is now 3x rarerOops
>>741516207No dev should talk to their playerbase, not even in cases like the OP, unless it's about things adjacent to the game like monetization.Creating the experience you envisioned is the whole point. You might not please everyone, but that can still be something worthwhile. In the worst case that you're bad at it and can't do something worthwhile, that's still better than just outsourcing the design of the game.

>>741517498Fuck you for reminding me
>>741517092Truth be told on rare occasions there exist people who understand your intent and see your vision but are able to give you a perspective on something that you've not considered before. They ARE exceedingly rare, and it can be a challenge for a dev to try and filter out all the screeching from normalfags to listen to the couple people who get it, but it can end up rewarding for the end result if you do happen across one or a couple of those people. I happen to be one of them, and most of my ideas, when implemented, benefited the games even according to other players.

>>741524119The only worth reviews are about bugs or glitches, imho.
>>741518937I'm a big fan of Lost Castle 2 and I find it interesting just how absurdly buggy the game is while the devs are fixing most of the things I report at mach speed.
>game dev deliberately prevents other devs from reading reviews
>>741524119In the context of game reviews the retarded democracy of steam reviews is slightly less bad than the incestuous low IQ evil corruption of the game journos. There is no winning move, but with steam reviews the industry loses less.
>>741524119That's where professional game critics are supposed to come in: people who are very knowledgeable about a genre and can understand mechanics, their implementation and can give actual constructive criticism.Unfortunately, it didn't quite turn out this way...
>game dev reads my review>adds me on Steam

>>741509389>>741511117I never played Destiny because I don't have any consoles, but didn't the first Destiny have so many flaws? I remember it distinctly being like a 7/10 game. I was honestly shocked when it got a sequel. Normally games that suck or are incredibly mid do not get sequels. And since it was made by the same people. my belief is that Destiny 2 is mid as well. So why are people complaining that it's being shut down over Marathon, a game that actually sucks and is 6/10 at best?
>>741508930>game dev listens to your review>game gets worseI complained about The Ancient Gods being too hard now that I remember because I was stupid and I did not git gud.By the time I got gud, TAG was nerfed.I also ruined a kids tv show because I got nervous live and hang up but my phone somehow blocked other calls and it was my favorite show. My number was blocked and could not try again, I also ruined an entire taping session.I am deeply ashamed of both actions, I ruined something beatiful.

>>741534380idk, best i've been able to gather is that that animation got associated with secondaries (or larpers as the kids these days call em) so people use it as a base for memes about them

>>741534380I think it's partially an off shoot of those wobbly Invincible edits, but it's also use to meme on the comic ending for The Boys since it has a dogshit ending just like the show despite what detractors for the show ending might claim. The zoomers that like this meme just all call themselves larpers that only watch these particular edits.

>>741516207Kisseff is so used to his hugbox it really disturbs me how delicate he is, he has no mature way to handle critical assessment or criticism he just has a melt down. This seems to be the case with all furries, they are extremely emotionally fragile. Feels absolutely vulgar, I remember having to console him with common sense advice like ‘take a fucking break’ and all this, suddenly it was just a wave of people echoing that sentiment and only when someone else repeated it did he understand. Dumb faggot
>>741517092You are a faggot. I dont make games for faggots. I want to hear what people have to say, critique makes the product better for the audience. You and your shit opinion need to die quickly
>>741534380It's a combination of general fandom culture, Invincible wobble edits, and 'larp' culture. Fandoms just like animated music videos or fancams of their content. In the Invincible community, people would make fanmade motion comics from the comic by making them move poorly which got flanderized into them wobbling, thus 'wobble edit' became a term for this kind of editing. LARPing has been taken by zoomers to mean being a fake fan or poser of something, specifically repeating or talking about something you've never seen, so this edit has been spread around as a bit since no one has read the comics.
>>741518638From my experience he changed the meta to be vehicle based and rockets were shit. Sometimes i was the only one running AA missiles on the entire server. It was a total bitch.

You get a lucky shop and lucky tarot packs to beat the game, because if you don't it's literally impossible to win with dogshit jokers like perishable castle or eternal egg. Cool poker hands like flushes and straights become unwinnable and you NEED meme combos because of the scaling meme. At least it's playable in the sense you can chesse it, we all know damn well Balatro 1.1 or whatever the update is will be the most polarizing indie game update ever.
