Based on what?

The negatives are extremely bad, and people are legitimately reviewing the game negatively because they legitimately think it's a pile of shit.

It is literally unconditionally impossible for it to be a review bomb if the reviews are motivated by the core design decisions of the game.

Give me controller support and a demo and I'll try it out.

A review bomb is when people start jumping down the game's throat with negative reviews for shit unrelated/peripheral to the game. If they're triggered by the actual core design choices of the game it isn't a review bomb.

These reviews are because the game is a money grubbing downgrade from the game people bought and had taken away from them, and this is the first opportunity they had to publish a review on a storefront. The motivation being the actual game means it can't be a review bomb.

You understand that the game isn't new, just new to Steam, right? Having zero hours on Steam doesn't mean anything when they forced all the people who genuinely wanted to play it to figure out that it was dogshit on their own launcher first.

If real people hate your game because of the changes you made from the last one (that you took away from them), that's not a review bomb.

It's just a review.

First one in a while I actually want to jump through the hoops for. I thought it was potentially abuse because it was on a keychain, but it died fast as hell.

It's a dev kit/enthusiast version to get their foot in the door. I want it bad, though. It's first/best in class at a bunch of shit.

We'll see how long it takes, but pretty much all the analysts have expected them to be trying to get the costs down for a more mass market version, and naming it Pro implies that as well. Ultimately it will take some engineering, but getting a real device into the hands of devs and higher spenders so devs have a reason to start building out an ecosystem should make it smoother to sell to average consumers if they can figure out a way to get the price point.

And actually making the hardware helps to work towards economy of scale as well.

It's fucking disgusting that it even exists on the consumer version bundled for $2 to OEMs with terrible computers.

Let alone the premium versions.

It's priced seriously aggressively for the tech in it.

All that enterprise shit is priced where Apple's is with awful displays compared to VR, while Apple's blows everything else you can buy out of the water on the display. And without a pretty high powered mobile computer and the excellent support ARKit offers in terms of making app creation reasonable.

They were good shit before they turned from buy to play to arcade style quarter dumps.

Binbok on Amazon were the least bad ones I found. They're shaped about like half a normal controller, and the joysticks were almost tolerable compared to the joke the hori Nintendo licensed ones are.

But they're still a lot worse than a real controller. The steam deck isn't.

If you don't care about inputs and have to have windows anyways, maybe.

Seriously joysticks and touchscreens to control a cursor both blow though.
