I'm also not a big fan of review bombing, particularly before the game is released. Many times on steam, the people giving negative reviews have played the game for less than an hour. Kind of ridiculous
How long should someone be forced to play a game they don't enjoy before they're allowed to give a negative review?
You tell me. Let's say it's a ~40 hour single-player game. How long do you think it should be for someone to give a detailed review?

Hummm, I am going with at least once. Like I am not saying they have to play it all the way through, but maybe play it at least once for maybe five to 10 minutes?

I am not a programmer and my last programming language learned was Basic on a TI-99/4A. This question is rooted in all sorts of ignorance...but...
Does a service like Steam stop supporting older OSs due to technical differences between new and old OS platforms or do they do it so you have to buy the remastered versions of games? or both? a little of everything? Security?

Aware of that, but given that cookie chatbear-session-1 for a frequent visitor of the news forum is maxed out around 3800 bytes, that leaves less space for all the others combined. I guess I'll lower that limit to 3600 and then we'll have to see how it goes. It just means fewer remembered threads for everyone.

I wish there would finally be a 100% DirectX compatible alternative to Windows. I would switch in a heartbeat. Gaming is the only thing keeping me on Microsoft's shit OS.

I've had a lot of fun with this one. It's a really interesting mix of city builder and rogue-lite. The early game starts out a little slow but has a lot of interesting decision making later on.
It's a neat, unique game. However, I found it lost its charm for me as I raised the difficulty. It feels annoying that you can't actually explore the map because it scales the difficulty too quickly. But on easier modes, the game is too slow and there's a lot of waiting.

I kinda got stuck in braid and never got back into it. But it was awesome.. and The Witness may be my favourite game of all time. I hope one day to see a third game from this guy , he is a genius.

which I guess means you find it and download it from some website, because otherwise how would you get it into your PC?

I enjoyed Horizon Zero Dawn when I played it earlier this year, though it did wear thin by the end. Is the sequel fresh enough to warrant a play through or is it just more of the same?

"Incredibly, some of Steam’s early adopter accounts are still actively in use today, a full two decades after their creation."
Nice bit of casual ageism there. I didn't quite make the mark. I created mine in January 2004, so still have a few months until 20 years. I bet I'm not the only one on this board, either.
