I've been noticing a lot of people tossing around the steam reviews and using it as reference to claim that "most players" are turned away from the game and that they are the "majority" of players. This of course, is so far from the truth and is not bored out once you inspect the data. So let's break it down and showcase why these people are wrong and that the MAJORITY of players are having a positive experience and enjoying themselves.

Since the launch there as been 141,321 total reviews. Currently, on steam it breaks down as following;

Since April 4th;

Negative: 17,601

In the last 30 days

Negative:13,549

Total players daily average since April 4th- 87,839

Percent of players who casted negative reviews since April 4th
Negative: 15.42% of daily playerbase.

https://steamcharts.com/app/2694490



So No...I know you want to pretend you are the majority but you are not. Even if you look at this forum and reddit. Both of them with people leaving negative reviews STILL account for less than 20% of the total player base.

Stop it cause its kind of sad that ya'll use this stuff and don't even understand the data you are trying to present as evidence of your argument.

I have the impression that you are slightly overinterpreting what is written on Steam. There is that of all the recently posted reviews (~17k), most of them are negative. So we don't know what the "silent" people think about the current state of the game. To assume that they are all satisfied is far-reaching optimism.

False. 17k negative reviews have been left since the launch of POE 2. In the last 30 days (dawn of the hunt) the numbers are 13,549

You can look at the chart and use a calculator like i did lol

Wanna see something cool?

PoE2 0.1.0 peak 580k and 305k on day 19. That's 52% playing the game.
PoE2 0.2.0 peak 245k and 85k on day 19. That's 34% playing the game, with a downward trend.

Well anyway, it does seem like the review bombing that happened after 0.2 released was probably in order to try to make a collaborative effort with the influence of streamers to try to use political tools to shift the game development into ones favor.

The patch wasn't bad and also the game isn't bad or unfun. The game is actually very good and has a lot of promise and quality. Gameplay is a clear evolution to your typical arpg game available. New ideas and skillful combat, as well as well designed encounters clearly make this the best arpg experience on the market rn.

So why are people claiming it's bad? Clearly those people don't seem to be able to judge the game properly or are able to do so, but choose to be irrational. And if you choose to be irrational about something like that, it's probably because there's money involved in doing so.

I can't help but feel there might be an effort of streamers and parts of the community to sabotage the game, because it is as good as it is.

Who are you to decide that people aren't capable of "judging something accurately?" Just because someone doesn't like the current state of the game means they're incompetent?

Trying to negate the opinions of people that don't like the game does absolutely nothing toward moving the game to a point where the majority of the target audience enjoys it.

Your statement can be summarized as "oh, well since you don't like the game, you're not capable of forming a competent opinion."

Such levels of copium are literally unreal.

Prove me wrong and make a list of things you like and don't like about the game.

So that would mean that from release day up until Dawn of the Hunt dropped, there had only been around 4k negative reviews, with 13k negative reviews since DotH released.

Interesting, indeed.
