It's a gaas mp title, so they couldn't be "sent the game early" to "finish it" and write a review. They're grappling with the same issues everyone else is trying to figure out where it's gonna settle on the fuck up scale.

Why does it seem "shitty"? The combat/gameplay looks superb

That makes sense .. I always forget that games like CoD get a review because it pretends to have a single player campaign thing

Been playing it all morning through Steam on my new 4070 ti super. Have not had 1 crash. Played well with others online and game runs super smooth.
So wait, the devs actually said GameGuard is removed at the same time as the game is uninstalled and that they even have the gguninstal in the game directory (so no dubious download if uninstall somehow fails) but you're just calling 'fake news'?
People can check if this is the case in literally 5mins, there is no reason to bullshit.

Spend a bit more then 5 hours on the game yesterday in coop with a buddy of mine and we really like it.
You do missions with objectives and earn XP and medals with that. XP upgrades your level which allows you buy new weapons and stratagems (pokeballs with like turret, resupply, cluster strikes). The medals can be spend on the free battlepass for new weapons and upgrades and armor and helmets and boosts. It's a bit of a grindy gameplay loop but i don't mind that. The difficulty is pretty high, they have like 7 or 8 difficulty's and we are playing currently on medium (which is the 3rd difficulty i think?) and for duo's this can be pretty challenging already.
If you like this type of games it's super fun for a whole lot of hours. But I would recommend it with a buddy or 2 or 3. Although there is matchmaking and cross play

Improving rapidly.
Once the servers are equipped to handle the above-expected launch, this will rank above 80-85% most likely.

Awesome fun! Glad to see it's doing well.
AFter a few hours of teething issues, the PC version ran perfectly for me last night.

Shows just how little stock you should put in day one steam reviews.

Any studio that does this automatically gets a failing score. Period.

These steam reviews show the pedantic pathetic side of PC gaming.
One little thing can spurn the community, the connection issues are annoying but on PC seems to be pretty stable now which took less than 12 hours and Id imagine a couple more hot fixes will sort it out.
People banging on about pay to win, there is no pay to win, the MTX are just for cosmetics which are completely optional.
Its not a MMO or game like suicide squad, you can play this on your own.
Then theres the anti-cheat, I imagine to stop people from hacking it and ruining the overall galactic mission thing. Ive never had an issue with anti-cheat that I know of and if you dont like it , no one is forcing you to play it on PC.
Bunch of fucking babies.

It has nothing to do with PC gaming specifically and a game releasing with connection issues does need to at least get called out. I just wish Steam reviews had better filters so that you can make more informed decisions from them. For example make it easier for choosable date ranges so that you can filter launch hiccups, the ability to filter out reviews based on keywords so you can maybe get rid of some of the dumb reasons to hate a game like "omg I think the author of this game is a nazi who hates lesbians" or "omg this game is so woke". That's the pathetic crying baby side of reviews I'd like to get rid of. Other than that i think steams review system works very well.

It's weird as the EN review score on Steam is now at the very positive threshold with 81% of them being positive. Looks like there's lots of negative reviews coming from Chinese players dragging the avg down.
Good luck with that. Fortnite, Hell Let Loose, iRacing, Gears 5, Halo MCC, Apex Legends, The Division 2, PUBG, Fall guys... The list goes on.
You'd be giving everybody a failing score because these all use Kernel level anticheats.

Yeah call them out on the issues, but a 12 hour turn around or more like 8 is pretty decent. There are issues but the game isnt like a competitive shooter like COD for example and has probably the 5th size of a team.
Not only that but I cant remember an online game that didnt launch without some issue that knocked it offline for a couple of hours on launch.
my biggest issue is no cross save at launch, which is a shame but not a deal breaker. I wanted to hop from PC to PS5.

The team did a really good job on it, yeah. Ideally now that the connection problems are fixed players could go back and edit their steam review but I don't think many bother with that feature of the system. It is what it is. Hopefully more recent reviews offset it over time if they keep this good support up.

Looking forward to Arrowhead joining PlayStation Studios soon.
There's been a wild trend I'm seeing where people come to conclusions about a games worth by simply "observing" and not actually engaging. Like, if your describe this game as a "looter shooter" you clearly are just observing, and taking that as enough to judge the game. For example:
I played SS completely solo (for the most part); good luck doing that in this game. And while the MTX in this game isn't strictly P2W, it does put game content behind a paywall, something SS doesn't do.
. . . like, good impressions or bad, at least make them valid.

The games awesome. If I have a great weekend with it, I'm going to post a positive review and I never post reviews.

No worries, because I don't play multiplayer games that much. And if gets too extreme, there the "other" option of playing the game if it's single player.

Once again there is no pay to win in this, you buy points to buy cosmetics, there are no purchases against guns or equipment, its exactly like SS. In SS you need to pay something like $30 for some skins.

Shows you how much stock you should put in Steam reviews. Game was a mess at launch, and developers had to immediately jump in and fix it.
You want people to just blindly buy into games that aren’t working properly at launch just because you like the company/game?

Exactly.
And some devs fix it within 24 hours and others weeks or never.
If you had plans to play opening hours with a friend and this happened , you would have been burned and pissed.
Reviews of bugs/network issues etc are the most valuable ones.
