Battlefield 2042 has 30,000 negative reviews on Steam -apkrig
As we mentioned in our review of Battlefield 2042 – we may have potential in the game and with adequate modifications or changes it can stand alongside popular parts, but the current state prevents this for many reasons and it is definitely not just graphics or destruction. The fact that even the fans are not satisfied with the game, after Friday’s full launch of the game, manifested itself on Steam, where the first reviews began to appear at the time of the preliminary approach and the next wave came over the weekend. Currently, the game has 42 thousand reviews, of which less than 11 thousand are positive and over 30 thousand negative. According to Steam, the overall score corresponds to the rating rather negative and due to the number of negative verdicts, the game reached number 9 in the ranking of the worst titles on this platform.
As with the Metacritic user review, it is not advisable to make hasty conclusions. As has been said many times, players only question themselves in the evaluation and often speak emotions into these verdicts. In the case of Metacritic, the rules have been modified, according to which user reviews can be written only a few days after the release of the game, but it is still possible to give a rating of 0/10 without any comment and using mandatory review bombing. drop basically any game. However, the greater the difference between user ratings and reviews of game magazines, the more likely it is that the title has a problem, if it is not an intersection of any other case that may affect, for example, developers or publishers. In the case of Steam, there have been even more active changes to the rating rules in the past, so it is possible to filter out review bombing waves, or simply filter relevant reviews based on time played in a given title, and it is in accordance with these mechanisms that Battlefield 2042 player rating can be considered relatively conclusive.
If we take into account only reviews from players who have spent at least 10 hours in the game, their number has now stopped at 23,000. Even their overall verdict corresponds to the evaluation rather negative and complaints are mostly repeated. Absence of voice chat, random projectile scattering, lack of game modes in the basic part of the game, disconnection of already created lobbies, inability to change the team during the game, system of specialists and many other things, some of which the developers themselves began to reflect in the first major patch. make it clear that these are issues that need to be addressed. Of course, negative reviews are opposed by positive reviews, in which players fairly acknowledge that Battlefield 2042 has a lot of shortcomings, but mention the fun they had in the game, especially with comrades, the potential with reference to Battlefield 4, which also came out quite rude, or that it is a typical Battlefield with all the advantages and disadvantages, and so it is right from the fans’ point of view.
