How is that exactly? 'Journalists' are just as much video games fans as you or I.
Completely disagree, they need to get through each and every game as fast as possible to be able to write about it. Where as you and I don't have to play everything under the sun and can take more time learning the mechanics and subtleties of the select few games we actually enjoy. Hence why every Multiplayer review is a shallow joke from people AWFUL at the game. Games journalist now are a joke and are more concerned about politics/wokeness of a game then actual mechanics.
phhhhh alpha, this i will be a demo, just like all "betas" now.
I wasn't able to get a refund on mine, even AFTER they promised they would refund people even if it was from their own pockets. I couldn't Steam refund cuz i had more than 2 hours played (hell it took more than 2hrs at launch just to get the game to run somewhat stable) and then when I followed the steps to request a refund from CDPR I jumped through the hoops only to be told to use the Steam refund system

Yup, it was a promise from the start. Now just another of many lies about this game.

The game is fun, but the mouse is just awful. So floatly and the sens is just whack. Plus it doesn't hold the setting for mouse inversion.

All I want from Avalanche is a Mad Max 2. As easy as it can be to make a sequel for it, I'm fully aware that they can screw it up as well (Just Cause 4). I also tried Rage 2 and ended up refunding it. Just couldn't get into the over the top that they were going for. Was a little too much..
The combat mechanics of Rage2 are incredible, better than any other games. Too bad about the awful story and even worse open world.

It has nothing to do with ego. Last time I checked it was ok to be correct and back up statements with data, which I've done in this thread. Note that I said 'I would revisit' and nothing about anyone else, Capiche?
except you've excluded the data from 2020, the game was growing long before the covid-19 concern. And that steamdb article i posted proves that CSGO is simply not big in China, so Wuhan province's lockdown is not affecting the numbers for CSGO (Feb 8th record numbers).

PCGamesN article is 801 days old (over 2 years) and i don't think you understood the 9 month old steamdb article.
Don't worry, when this is over I will revisit the thread with a chart that shows this peak to be the anomaly that it is.
the Steamdb article confirms that the Chinese player base for CSGO is tiny.
how do you explain the Feb 8th CSGO peak players at 900k (a all time high) one month before any one was required to stay home?
Obviously ALL games are benefiting a player peak right now, but that is not the only thing attributing to CSGO's growth. It was growing rapidly over the last 6 months, covid-19 is increasing that growth but it was still growing before.
TLDR CSGO numbers have been growing before Covid-19 and Chinas numbers have never affected CSGO

Dude, the Chinese may play games but not CSGO, trust me. The majority of the CSGO player base is in Europe, North and South America, always has been. China didnt even get CSGO until late 2017 and players have to verify their identiy, nor is it even on Steam in China. So your point is moot, the rest of the world didnt start to care or self isolate until March.

By March the CSGO playerbase was already peaking at 925k.

OK, but late 2019 and ALL of 2020 the game has been growing, How do you explain 900K players in Feb 8th, long before the Covid-19 scare?
Fine a 8yr old game is gonna have bumps and peaks from years ago, but over the last 6 months the population has been growing steady.

From June 2018 its only been climbing, and 2020 (even before cvid-19) the numbers have been growing rapidly, in early Feb it was peaking at 900k.

As a DH main, this is the worst season theme they've done; in addition to the lack of a new set for the DH, will pass on this season.
I really wish Wolcen launched well and I could be enjoying that game. Maybe in a year.
I can't believe people still play D3, so many better games.
Have you tired Girm Dawn?
nah this game is doing it right. its a straight up Day of Defeat clone and its fun as hell.
I'll be playing and streaming it all weekend
