  • I can definitely understand that as well. I rely on someone replying to the comment if I say something that is unclear or misinterpreted. It allows me to have better feedback anyway then trying to figure out where I went wrong on my own, plus it avoids being able to dismiss it as “well maybe it was just a unpopular opinion so it was downvoted”. I also find effort a huge factor as well, meaning that if someone went through the hassle/effort of responding to my comment then chances are it’s not an opinion type deal and more of either I wasn’t clear or there was a misunderstanding. (when the reply is opposing of course)


  • I’m not the person you responded to but, I also run with down-votes disabled. I found that paying attention to them was negatively impacting the platform and creating an echo chamber based off populous opinion. Since turning them off, my experience on the platform has been quite a bit more enjoyable. It’s not that I really have a mentality that is different than what the populous opinion is but, I much prefer not seeing them as it removes the potential of “oh this post has been downvoted” because that makes you go into reading it with an already poisoned mindset.

    I wasn’t attacking you in that message but, I think you should calm down some, practice what you preach. The world doesn’t revolve around you either, we are all just trying to enjoy it the best we can.

    Adding a simple “spoiler alert” is not that big of an ask. It’s not like its a request not to talk about it or not discuss it. It’s a request to properly label said spoilers to not ruin it for others.

    The mental gymnastics behind that is insane to me. Are you saying that a One Piece fan shouldn’t go on one piece forums period until they fully finish the show? That’s insane my guy. Just label content if its in an area that potentially hasen’t seen that content, that way everyone who hasen’t seen it can enjoy it as well.

    I don’t find that unreasonable at all in my opinion. Most wiki’s even acknowledge this by having a boiler plate saying “this page contains spoilers read at your own risk”. Dropping spoilers about any type of story is taboo even on fan forums regardless of how long its been since release. The expected place to talk about them is in private or under an area that is clearly marked plot spoilers (or at minimum a post with a spoiler tag that makes the text not readable).

    Even if it wasn’t the standard, at the very least its common human decency. If you enjoyed something wouldn’t you want everyone else to enjoy it as well? Dropping spoilers of any kind in a public page without proper precautions is just being a dick.(note I do feel that the person in this case at least tried, it just didn’t work well cause most would have to see it in order to read the comments under them, but an attempt was made so IMO they do not fall under this category)

    Time since release has never made sense as a valid excuse for me. So we are just going to magically think that everyone knew it was released and had the ability to watch it sooner? Hell some don’t even have access to the media to watch it sooner, either due to age or just lack of accessibility

    I fully agree. Like I am currently watching one piece for the first time, and the amount of people that are like “bro it’s been known for years you should have found out by now” is unreal. Like no shit its been out for years, that doesn’t mean I watched it release day.

    Its a rust x Cohen Exiles baby with a Dune theme.

    The actual game is decent tbh, but like it’s not at all what was advertised. It lacks common MMO mechanics to the point where the studio even said they were dropping the MMO theme then they used that same excuse “it’s an MMO” of why they couldn’t use self hosted servers and why it was forced private rented servers(which ended up being more like private homes) instead of allowing self hosting.

    The game is also very vastly empty, and combat will not be at it’s best until easily hours into the game and there is a lot of walking and copy pasting of designs. Plus it’s a forced PVP env, they can call it all they want, but required resources are locked to PVP only areas and end game is strictly PVP as well.

    Rebutting criticism in my opinion is fine… if its not reflecting the OP’s(OP as in the reviewer) opinion but something the OP is doing wrong game wise. Like mentioning the lack of an ability that would be super helpful (such as fast travel) but the person had missed how to actually activate it. That would be a proper response to say “Oh it is in the game you need to do X”

    Telling someone that the game isn’t that hard, or just a skill issue, doesn’t help anything. Same with the comments about gametime before refunding. Especially with drawn out games where it can easily take hours to actually realize the game, and by that point you have an 80$ game that you don’t like.

    I usually keep my comments on my reviews disabled exclusively because of the trolls. I used to keep them on because I liked hearing everyone’s opinion and debates. I have zero interest in personal attacks instead of discussions of the flaws of the review.

    Dune Awakening was absolutely horrible for that almost every popular bad review is a bunch of trolls foaming at the mouth that someone dared leave a negative review of their beloved IP.
