The Open World Roguelike is Here and I LOVE it | Hyper Light Breaker | Ad

[@Haelian]

Hey ya'll, you deserve to know that the Steam reviews for this game are coming back pretty rough with a lot of mentions about performance issues in particular. I did not have any these issues when playing personally, nothing more than what's visible in this video at the least. I stick by my opinion on it as it represents my experience thus far playing. Of course, I couldn't predict that other people would have issues that I did not. I am not here to sweep the problems under the rug or say that they don't exist, the devs need to hear your feedback.

[@TheRealAsen]

@@Haelian Thanks for the heads up. Appreciate your view on this

[@moeezS]

Thanks for saying this, so even if this is a sponsored video, you still care for other people's experiences and opinions.

[@slowmodo]

Steam reviews have fallen to "Mostly Negative" with the general consensus being that the game is simply undercooked... sure you're not the only KZbinr to give it a glowing review or seal of approval despite this but in general i would suggest against using words like "Perfect" in a paid Ad, if for no other reason than to save yourself from people writing you off as a shill.

[@GundamEnvy]

Solid advice! you should always try to show some level of integrity or make an effort to be unbiased

[@mbk337]

Yeah, this a tough nut to crack. Problem is, his experience might have been "perfect" and it is his experience that we come here for. He is just a single source of information or resource in your available information about the game. You used other resources to derive a different conclusion. We should never rely solely on recommendations, even if they are trusted sources; but you already know that. I would hope that people buying this know that they are buying into an early access release that may not be so "perfect" for them, despite what their favorite youtuber says.

[@awesomefox555]

Considering the mostly negative reviews I doubt it will be able to finish cooking in the first place. They will most likely just shut it down

[@mbk337]

@@awesomefox555 There is very little chance they will cut the cord. It has been less than 5 hours and they are a small dev team. They have already responded to many of the negative reviews explaining they are working on fixes based on their feedback.

[@awesomefox555]

@@mbk337 suuuuuuure they are. They totally won’t just leave it for months until people forget about it or just offer tiny in game bonuses for angry people that they just scammed out of their money. This has happened too many times already with other games and it rarely ends well.

[@Ikatik]

Glad you’re showing this off. I had no clue what to expect based off the huge shift from the first game.

[@infiniti7773]

My advisor in uni was the art director for this game! Extremely awesome dude with endless knowledge on everything game design.

[@isaacnykamp8083]

I built my own computer just to play this game I cannot wait

[@punani_slayer4209]

This looks like it could easily run on the ps3 but the requirements are so high. Devs don't give a crap about optimization anymore

[@thomashooper2451]

I'm doing my best to hold off until the game is done and comes to consoles (I have a potato PC), but I'm tempted to jump in right now. It looks so good.

[@CrazyLikeChris]

We need a 3060ti for this? Looks like shinier NMS for the power demand tbh but maybe it's due to early access

[@01Grytz]

yeah performance is terrible, guess its EA tho. getting around 35-60 fps which is never stable with rare highs of around 80 with a 5700xt and all lowest settings.

[@frostfour668]

Performance is very bad 4070 ti 50 FPS in town

It certainly looks perfect to me.

[@AZ23MJ]

I don’t know, I’ve seen reports otherwise. the current steam rating doesn’t lie.

[@pralenkaman8105]

basically gameplay good, performance bad with a lot of graphical settings we're used to in games nowadays being missing hopefully the devs get on these things quick because it's a shame seeing one of my most anticipated indie games being delayed multiple times and still releasing plagued with performance issues

[@derpherp1810]

Its mostly just morons complaining about SBI. That being said the game has genuine issues, mainly it needs the health system fixed, I don't like how overly punishing this game is. Grunts will one or two shot you in a few hits and stun-lock you, you don't start with a medkit nor can you find any on the map. Its a bit of malarkey to me. Other than perfectly good game.

[@raven80wolfx2]

@derpherp1810 I don't see any sbi reviews. I see everything, but that. It's major problem with the game ruining people's experiences. Performance is always number one.

[@MrGeoghagan]

​​@@derpherp1810Can we stop writing off the negative reviews like this? Even a relatively quick scroll through all through the negative reviews will show the majority of negative reviews point to performance issues and a lack of meaningful ways to adjust the graphical performance, controls, and other settings.

[@prashantgaikwad9808]

Ay man stop giving me games to play i need to study

[@Fungorrr]

why mostly negative reviews on steam?

[@DuPleasant]

@@Fungorrr way too high specs for a game with graphics like this, still a good game tho

[@aspizak]

"It's perfect" sits on mostly negative steam reviews. Glad we have steam over sposnored reviews.

[@derpherp1810]

Those steam reviews are just anti-woke morons, interspersed with some genuine negative reviews based on the performance and stuff.

[@Squid1da]

A lot of it is people on the sweet baby train just hating

[@ProfessorElb]

@@sytchnoth I'm not justifying this sponsored opinion but literally every take I can find is just "game sucks it doesn't feel finished" like bro it's literally NOT FINISHED thats what EARLY ACCESS means Seriously what are people expecting?

[@MrGeoghagan]

​@@ProfessorElb Early Access should not be treated as a shield from criticism. While early access is the developer opening the door for players to hop into a game prior to 1.0 release, it isn't an alpha or beta. The developer is releasing a game that should be further along in development than that, and in this case is asking for $30 to participate in the early access. The issues with this game is not a lack of content as would be generally acceptable for early access, it is a distinct lack of settings (graphical, controls, camera sensitivity, etc.) that players are not unreasonable to expect for this sort of release.

[@ProfessorElb]

@@MrGeoghagan Your reply is total nonsense. Are you blind? How are you even playing video games? Its never been implied that HLB is even close to complete. The Steam page is clear about this. Early Access basically means "open alpha." Alpha means features are still being developed, bugs are still being squished, and (usually) no external testing. Games can be in this state for YEARS and come out excellent, like Hades. Criticism is encouraged but calling this bad practice is just flat incorrect

How you gonna say the publisher sponsored this then turn around and call it a perfect game lol. I like the game but there are many many issues.

[@00F]

How can Heart Machine afford to sponsor if they are actively begging for money on Patreon?

[@UnsolPhysics]

@@00F how can a person whose declared bankruptcy 4 times in 15 years become the leader of the world's biggest economy? Turns out, you can do whatever you want whenever you want! Hell, maybe it's good business move to make investments even if you're down on capital.

[@DarekLeSecond]

I think they cannot afford that game to flop so they putting money their communication. There is nothing strange

[@DrWellRound]

My question might be off-topic, but my question is, how the hell did this achieve 5’230 players as it’s peak?

Crazy to imagine that someone might just enjoy it? Nah....too intelligent a thought for you

[@Haelian]

I stand by my personal opinion since it is based on my own experience playing so far! Others have had performance issues that I have not. I've taken many sponsorships in my time and do my best to represent the games in a fair and balanced way.

Eww one of those guys. Seriously look at this game and tell me its somehow "woke", you literally can't. Stop it.

[@CatWithThumb]

Genuinely asking, but assuming you're a semi regular haelian viewer how do you even have this mentality of being anti-woke? Like afaik haelian comes across as pretty progressive and open minded both on here and on twitch. So at what point do you come to the conclusion that this is the place where that kinda stuff would be tolerated by either him or the community he fosters?

[@sas-nooley]

THIS GAME IS SO PERFECT, I CANT EVEN IMAGINE THE WORLD WHERE THE GAME COULD HAVE MUCH BETTER QUALITY WITH THE LOWER COST. Oh, wait...
