People don't log onto forums for no reason. They get on forums typically because they see problems and want to create discussion about them. Nobodies going to pop in and say "hey larian I'm really enjoying your game it's probably the best game I've ever played". If they aren't enjoying the game they are more likely to say something about it.

Zherot actually has a reason to be here, because this particular user is not happy with their purchase. Someone enjoying the game has little to no motivation to post on the forums, while someone like Zherot wants their money on the game to actually be worth the cost. He's not enjoying the game, that's why he's here. People are enjoying the game, that's why they're in game.

I could also link you some scientific studies showing how humans only tend to report things that are negative if you need more convincing. Sounds a lot similar to posting on a forum no?

And if this still isn't enough to convince you then I would also like to point to the 94% steam user reviews as well to show that the majority are in fact very satisfied with this game.


As has been said: your argument makes no sense.

And just cause certain portions of the game are fantastically in need of tweaking doesn't mean the same people saying that don't also give positive glowing reviews. Why would I not recommend the game? It has one badly implemented feature, but it's still an overall greater product.

If you want to argue your position than the burden of proof to prove that others are in the minority is on you. That's how a debate works. You don't just get to magically wave your hands and say that even though there's nothing to validate your position, it's totally correct cause you don't like what you're hearing.

What? Is there some magical number of people in order to meet your criteria for majority? Or will you just keep moving the goal post?
