The majority of the videos on the game are about how bad the game balance is. There should be no surprise that only 2/3s of the reviews are positive.

That's just not true, the game is at 89% positive. The game has gun balancing problems, but so does every shooter ever. They regularly release patches to shake up the meta.

Why are you using youtube videos and not actual game reviews as a metric for how good the game is? The videos stay up forever, reviews are MUCH more likely to change to reflect changes to the game.

[–] PM_ME_FEET_PICS@sh.itjust.works 0 points 1 year ago (1 children)

The videos are recent and show issues with the game.

Reviews tend to be put up and almost never changed.

my experience is the exact opposite, but i won’t invalidate yours! end of the day you’re free to enjoy what you want.

i may think your take is stupid and wrong, but it’s still your take to have! lol
