This community is focused on games, of all kinds. Any news item or discussion should be related to gaming in some way.

2. No bigotry or harassment, be civil

No bigotry, hardline stance. Try not to get too heated when entering into a discussion or debate.

We are here to talk and discuss about one of our passions, not fight or be exposed to hate. Posts or responses that are hateful will be deleted to keep the atmosphere good.

This is to prevent people from posting for the sole purpose of promoting their own website or social media account.

4. Stay on-topic; no memes, funny videos, giveaways, reposts, or low-effort posts

This community is mostly for discussion and news. Remember to search for the thing you're submitting before posting to see if it's already been posted.

We want to keep the quality of posts high. Therefore, memes, funny videos, low-effort posts and reposts are not allowed. We prohibit giveaways because we cannot be sure that the person holding the giveaway will actually do what they promise.

Whaaah, the dev took away my ability to exploit a bug and balanced a boss, worse game ever, -100/10

To be fair, its a single player game. If the player wishes to exploit bugs to play the game that way, then the player should be able to.

I mean I'm the sense that they shouldn't be penalized, sure

But if the exploit gets fixed, they don't have a right to complain about that. With some exceptions. If it makes a game iconic or something, that should at least have a way to play with that.

But crying because your game breaking glitch is patched and now you lost one way to just have easy mode is just not a valid critique to make.

I was under the assumption this game was single player only. For multiplayer games, I am not saying anything, because exploits and bugs should be fixed. Below defending part of this reply is about single player games, which does not apply to this game.

But for single player games, if someone wants to cheat or abuse an exploit, it should be their decisions. And there is no need to shame anyone for doing so. That is like hacking a game and doing whatever you want (well its not the same off course). My point is, if it does not harm anyone, then they have the right to get upset for patching that out if it was part of what was fun to them. Off course getting upset over patching an exploit is just silly. And its even more silly to downvote a game for. But still, I can understand, because they had fun with it.
