also if you like a game please leave a positive review!!! and also if you get in the habit of it you’d be surprised at how much better of a critic you can be when you get the hang of learning how to talk about why you like something just as much as why you don’t like something

a good way to combat this (although not fool proof because the algorithm really does suck ass) is to write extremely insightful takes on games if you’re leaving a positive review - i think people are often not inclined to list a positive review as helpful because they’re rarely detailed anyways
Even on hugely popular games with 95%+ Steam user review scores, you will almost always see some interminable, essay-length negative rant flagged as the 'most useful' and put front and center on the store page.
Part of it is Steam's upvoting system being busted. Part is human nature being stupid.

One negative review killed Pendragon. It was posted within hours of release: a detailed "objective" explanation of why they didn't connect with it.
But it's ticked as helpful by passing people *who have not played the game*. This keeps it pinned to the top.
It's longer than our description text.

If nearly everyone is being positive about something, the one guy who's 'saying it like he is' must clearly have a point. Everyone wants to believe that they're the enlightened child telling the emperor that he is, in fact, naked.
More often than not, it's just someone being a weird grumpy hater.

RE that RT.. it’s wild how steam reviews are still so damn important to getting visibility. If you play and like indie games, the most generous and helpful thing you can do is spend an hour popping positive reviews onto anything you like with <500 or so reviews.

Just a reminder, the greatest living American historian filmmaker, Ken Burns, released a 720 min exploration of every facet of the American revolution using zero generative AI and paying for all of its assets instead of cobbling it from stolen data, then he gave it away for free on PBS this year.

for the record this is also possible in tokimeki memorial girls side, which does have an english translation unlike tokimemo 2 so if anyone who doesn't know japanese wants to experience this hopeless fumble that's an option

we don't talk enough about how funny it is that in tokimeki memorial 2, you can press L1 during conversations to gamble on calling girls by a different name and if you fuck up and she hates it (because you two aren't close, etc), it worsens your standing with her in a completely avoidable self-own
