Role-playing action NieR: Automata PlatinumGames Studios Was Review Bombed In Steam from users who are dissatisfied with the lack of updates for the game against the background of the release of an improved PC version for Xbox Game Pass…
While the overall rating for NieR: Automata on Steam remains very positive, statistics from recent reviews show that over the past 4 days, the number of negative reviews of the game has sharply increased – from March 18 to March 21 it was published more than 600 negative reviews…
The main essence of the claims boils down to the fact that in the four years since the release, Square Enix has not released a single significant patch for the Steam version that would fix problems with freezes, crashes, FPS drops, incorrect resolution, locked at 60 frames, lack of frameless windowed mode and the like. Players have to solve all this on their own with the help of third-party modifications, such as FAR, while Game Pass immediately released a corrected version, devoid of most of the listed sores.
Even a separate thread appeared on the Steam forum, calling to join the flash mob and bombard Automata with negative reviews until Square Enix puts the game in order… So far, there has been no public reaction from the publisher.
“In the light of recent events, I will support the community with a negative comment. It’s generally great, in fact, for 4 years the game has been without patches, and then a version for Game Pass is released, which is technically in excellent condition, unlike the Steam version. If Replicant has such a same story, fuck you, not buying a game. “
“I think Valve should have removed the game from the store. Otherwise, it turns out their customers were thrown like suckers, they took the money, filed a new version for Game Pass, and the owners on Steam were sent to suck their paws. Which is basically not surprising, given the publisher of the game.”
“To release a patch on one site, and put a giant reinforced concrete bolt on the other, are you serious there? As much as I love the game, it’s just an edge.”
“Is this some kind of joke? That is, they found people to make a special version for Microsoft, but did not give it to those who already bought it on Steam? Shine. I always knew that Square Enix was not very good, but this is quite the bottom “.
Notably, NieR: Automata wasn’t the only PC game to be improved for Xbox Game Pass, but not Steam. Horror The Evil Within hit the subscription service with a new FOV setting option, first person view mode and more. At the same time, in this case, users reacted much more calmly to the lack of an update – only a unit of negative reviews has been added in recent days…
