Dune: Awakening’s Steam reviews have done a complete 180, climbing the ranks to Very Positive just a day after a player pile-on: ‘This game is great with friends, and lets me live out my fantasy of getting eaten by a sandworm’

    I too want to get eaten by a giant sandworm

    Everything’s better with friends that doesn’t automatically make it good.

  3. User reviews are poisoned by weird trends and brigading. 

    The best you can do is find people who review games that align with your tastes and see what they say to get an approximation of what you’ll enjoy. You know, engage with journalism.

    But what if you have no friends, oh, just a badly made beach walking sim then.

    Sure, but what about my fantasy of getting eaten out by a sandworm? can this game help me with that ?

    How strong of an MMO style game is this? I love Dune and don’t mind other players in a situation like how Fallout 76 handles it, but I don’t care for actual MMOs.

  7. Hey, everything is great with friends. If friends change the game for you.

    it wasent the game, it was the friends

    The only value of reviews for the first few days of a game is obvious bugs and server issues, as anyone who is enjoying and playing the game often dont go out of their way to make a review so early, where as the people who wants to just complain and get a refund within 2 hours will post a negative review.

    Wonder if they added explosions if you laser one one with a shield

    Perhaps the real game was the friends we made along the way

    So review bombs are only on if it’s positive.

  12. I played the test a few weeks ago and the combat is awful. I’ll be genuinely surprised if it has a solid player base.

    It’s gonna die in like a month, after the honeymoon period.

    Did G-Portal get their private servers running yet?

    All those people talking shit about this game yesterday are just trolls.

  16. “Great with friends”. Ah, so the game isn’t *actually* good, that Steam reviewer just likes their friends.
