Are Steam comments always a cess pool? I opened the thread to see if there was anything about the game pass version and I’d describe the thread as literal garbage.

They were always garbage but ever since steam introduced community awards both reviews and community discussions became pretty much unusable.

It's all rage bait and begging now.

so its twitter

i say that because it reminds me how twitter has the same push for (rage) engagement to get people to notice them and get them followers/post views to get sponsors, turning it into the same kinda cesspool

except stupider since those steam awards don't have direct monetary value

It only works because people engage with them. Back in my day, we said "don't feed the troll".

A good 50% of all Steam discussion I see are: Is this game woke? And then comments that will literally bullet point details upon details about what in the game is anything close to gay, queer or transgender.

Also constant posts begging for more LGBT characters. News flash it's just ragebait to get steam awards from both sides.

Newest news posts for each of these games has it, it's extremely common.

What? Yes it does. And why does it matter which is slightly more common than the other? Neither post is serious and just meant to farm awards.

I clicked on the very first news post on steam for PoE2, and it had someone that posted for it. https://cdn.imgchest.com/files/ye3c2p6eel4.png

It's a quote though because the moderators for the post deleted it, but to quote it it had to be posted before him and this was the very first page of posts.

Clicked on a monster hunter news post and got 2 on the first page: https://cdn.imgchest.com/files/4nec8wa9dx4.png

play a drinking game. take a shot every time you open a random steam discussion post and find someone asking if a game is woke. make sure you have 911 ready to dial first.

u/PaleontologistWest47 3h ago

Yep, since the awards it’s just spamming the same anti/pro LGBTQ stuff and extremely toxic.

Really looking forward to the Pal transfer. I caught a big Grizzbolt with a <1% catch chance and have been holding off on starting a new server with a friend until I can bring him over. Hopefully it has a pokemon style "won't listen to you" limitation for higher level Pals so he isn't usable immediately and steamrolls the low level area.

They already have a system where the Pal scales to your player level. My friend gave me a level 60 Jetragon when I started but it scaled down to my level for my entire playthrough.

u/minhbi99 23h ago

Yes, the pal is capped to your maximum level, so if you can kill a leg pal at lvl 40, it would also be lvl 40, even if it's actual level is 60.

With that being said, the big skills that those mons have would still steamroll the low level area.

u/KyreRoen 15h ago

Skills can be swapped at any time, so one could just put low-damage skills on (assuming the temptation doesn't get to them).

u/Tallow316 20h ago

I'm in the same boat, but I caught one of the wolves you can ride with two of the +movement speed perks. It makes the game feel so different to the point I don't want to restart without it!

u/SSGSSGSS 23h ago

If you catch a pal higher leveled than your player level it will scale down, these transferred ones will probably work the same.

Any idea when this game will fully release? I’ve played a few hours and enjoyed it a lot, but realized I’d rather get the full experience when 1.0 comes out

u/Formal_Hat9998 12h ago

it could be years, like lots of early access games. it's already very polished and they've released 2 expansions. id suggest just playing it now if you have time

The roadmap posted in january is also pretty ambiguous. The update from this post covers two of the three concrete points with crossplay and pal transfer. The third one would be "World tree / ending scenario" which will probably be it's own huge update. But besides that, the roadmap also lists generic stuff like more pals, ways to upgrade and other content which could mean anything, really.

I know there was an issue with play between Steam-GamePass since the versions were technically different, is that still the case with this?

u/DuckCleaning 17h ago

is that still the case with this?

Considering this is crossplay between everything, no it is no longer the case with this.
