It's been like a decade, people are still mad at this fucking woman? Move on lmao. Can't remember the last time I cared enough about whatever she's doing. Besides there's like zero annoying things about the game that relates remotely to the shit she used to say back in the day.
I don't even like her but come on, this is retarded.
The fact that folks know who she is and her infamy is enough. We've learned to avoid red flags. Sooo... people are avoiding this game because of her, crash outs or not. 🤷🏽♀️
Who is she and why don't people like her? I googled her and it wasn't clear. I'm assuming it's an American politics thing and either the right wing people or the left people think she is evil.
Yeah, you can chalk it to American politics, but she breached the American confinement, contaminating the video game genre as a whole.
Initially she went to college to get into marketing, but she realized that she could easily grift her bad talking points in the name of feminism off the back of a massive discussion on questionable game dev/journalist tactics named Gamergate and make some cash and power along the way.
As hard as it may be to take in, her bad takes, her over usage of victimhood, and her plugs with big names in gaming and media was the perfect storm of getting her over and being paid to be an advisor of what is considered good and ethical in her eyes, rotting possibly good games from the inside out. She even made some moves with Zooey Quinn (yet another feminist who wanted power and fame, but she has blood on her hands) to go to the freaking United Nations, whining about their cyberbullying of all things trying to play it off that they were thinking about the community and not themselves due to them getting rightfully blasted in the comments.
TL;DR, she may seems harmless, but her involvement has known to kill off gaming companies all for the Almighty Dollar disguised as trying to be all about inclusion. She's faker than Dewayne Johnson's pecs.
It could be a number of things really. Honestly I can't really blame new developers of not doing their research on this person. Clearly no one would ever talk about their bad qualities.
But that's the thing; her limelight was back when Ebola-chan was big in 2014. 12 years, maybe half of that is her prime moment of influence. Online, that's enough time for most folks to have digital Alzheimer's to her shenanigans. And for others, especially those who are part of the gaming industry, that's enough time to cover up and sprinkle potpourri on her past. A tin foil hat theory is that some of the big hitters, especially those and journalism, are so deeply seeded in the industry that they could make these moves happen in her favor. Just hiding in the shadows... Kotaku... Polygon... Some lameo named Paul Tassi...
Add in the old "Us vs. Them" tribalism trope, more victimhood, and a major organization who is willing to slip some money your way if you follow these check boxes, then it's not so bizarre that they would take in her advice regardless of how infamous she is.
As much as I dislike her, I have to admit that she has gone to icon status. Just having her around speak levels for those who invest in that type of politics. For some, they see no destruction and are willing to invite her with open arms; just having her name will have people talking. Does the equate to dollar signs? For this game, possibly not since politics doesn't really help with the bottom line often.
"It's not about the money. It's about the message."
To be fair, it's not known what she has changed. The smartest thing they have done is to keep tight lip on her involvement. I would like to think she hasn't done anything to it at all, that would be the best outcome. It's more of the fact that she is there and she has not come forward to denounce what she has ultimately altered from her hot takes. That alone is a precautionary tale for anyone to take heed in, thus the massive downvotes on Steam.
I'll put it like this to explain why people are doing that: It would be like having KSI, Mr Beast, and Logan Paul sitting in the committee who deals with nutrition for schools. Why the hell are they there and what are they going to ruin this time taking how Lunchly had a bad rep at the start? Sorta like that.
What makes me angry is that, What kind of gay loser does a person have to be to play this game for 20 to 100+ hours. Finish the campaign, see no political influence in the game and then discover that some dum bi*** who you disagreed with 13 years ago is a part of the credits. And the worst part is that you had no issue with the game until you saw the credits.
That is literally the Quartering level of Anti-SJW. SJW. The thing is, who's to say that she could have made a positive build for the game, Or started to have an honest developing career since her shitty grift got dunked on so hard.
if Anita could have such control over your life in such a way that you downvote a game you 100% enjoyed playing. she's winning hard and youas a person who does this, you should tie the noose. you're hopeless
Eh. Folks nowadays like to think in absolutes. I can't blame em to a point; if a liar keeps lyin' and one day they are telling the truth it would still be rather foolhardy to trust em' without proof.
Devil's Advocate; one day she gets on BlueSky and kiiiiiinda comes clean about her involvement within the gaming space. She doesn't outright apologize (doesn't have to, actions are more effective), but she's saying the more favorable things than her yesteryear counterpart. Her colorful rhetoric is a bit tamed than before. She's still her, but.... less antagonistic and more reasonable... which arguably she was during the heat of the Stop Killing Games topic. Now, with how folks are online, how many will open their arms to em? Devil's Gambit; I just used the actions of Trump's campaign that lead to his presidency... and the most vocal wants him deader than Gus Fring from Breaking Bad. >_<;;
But yeah... If you are hardcore on a game, you enjoy the game - don't think too deeply on it. Maybe they felt a connection and something like this is like a small betrayal. I dunno. Could be a lot of things.
The entire shit storm of Gamergate and anti-SJW began when Zoë Quinn started banging some game critics so that she could climb her way to make her game "depression quest" get higher raise than what the game actually deserves. in anotherwords Co-opting the gaming industry.
the people who are fans of gamergate simply have 2 main points:
No political intrusions (Woke) in games
No Gayops in games and media related to games
in this Instance Slay The Spire 2 have no political affiliation also nothing is "Woke" not even the people who have negative reviews have any real issues with the game.
Yet low Iq asmon fans downvoting a game by adding the controvery that is not there and then complaining about it.
This is a very high level of extreme hypocrisy and autism. imagine if this is J. K. Rowling and leftest are trying to cancel her non political books for her political takes.
Yeah no, StS2 is a generic dulled down cash grab. People are afraid to say it because the first game literally did spawn a genre. Not a single streamer or gametuber said anything bad about it. Fucking pussies.
I'd like to say this is a problem with the Steam review system, since you can only leave a like (enjoy) or a dislike. There's no neutral button or scoring system out of five or out of ten.
If you say it’s between a like or dislike, it is not bad enough to be "disliked" by most players, but if it is score-based, it can only go up to 7/10 to be distinguished from a true 9/10 game.
Beat it on first run and it seems the game is heavily designed around the Hades' ascension mechanic which barely works even in Hades because there are stuff to do as it's mainly a rougelite. But it doesn't work with StS2.
Also, there aren't many new content compared to the first game. It's basically a DLC which is in Early Access.
Also, even the initial timeline arts are missing. I guess they put all the effort into making the multiplayer...?
Wym "ascension mechanic"? The difficulty increase mechanic one that existed in the base game and has nothing to do with Hades since Hades uses a different one?
"There aren't many new content" All enemies and encounters are different. 2 new characters, and the old ones, while still have the same build identity, play differently now. Only game mechanic is the same which is good cuz no need to reinvent the wheel.
In StS1 they used similar placeholder arts and ppl loved them (there's even an in-game option to enable them). So now they just continue the tradition. It's in EA after all
when you give minimum effort into trying things and just repeat whatever you see first without doing any research so you add nothing of value to the conversation sure bro
Are you using an HDD? It might take some time to load. Mine took under 5 seconds. Also, I only tested it on a PC, so it might not work if you're using Linux/SteamDesk.

I set a shortcut with "*.exe" --rendering-driver opengl3. This allowed me to launch the game, but there's an annoying visual bug with flickering colors in the background and uncommon/rare cards also have the same color flicker. Any fixes?
Yup. Godot 4 is notorious for this dumb vulkan incompatibility issue if something is slightly outdated like gpu driver.
The devs shouldn't have abandoned Unity after 2yrs of making and shifted to new engine. I don't think there will be a solid fix until the devs address this themselves.
It is about time to download Steam and install some free games from various engines, so you have all the common dependencies installed. It is most likely that you lack modern dependencies like Visual C++, .NET, GPU driver, PhysX, desktop runtime, etc. Or you lack the necessary VRAM; I’d say it is the former, so it is your problem for not buying it on Steam, as Steam will handle all dependencies in the background. It is not the problem of the dev team; it is the problem of not paying for the game. Your best solution is to find a bunch of free games on Steam with various engines and install them so you have the dependencies.
It can happen to the smallest of the games because it's not a missing file or dependency issue, nor occurs because of hardware requirements. It's essentially a specific compatibility issue that Godot 4 doesn't compile well by default when deploying as far as I know.
So even if we did buy it on Steam, like many other games that used the default godot 4 engine, it would still not run as discussed in the Steam forum of StS2 and for many other games.
Somebody already decompiled the entire game files on yt. The devs are clearly new to the engine. They were used to unity before.
GT1030 GAMEPLAY FOR THOSE INTERESTED! -Game is working well, one hour into it so far and have not come across any chrashes, bugs, glitches, ect. Comments below had me worried, but trying it out myself there seems to be no issues? https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ELKDs25eLiM -Also, here's an official untitled wallpaper if anybody wants it.
Kind of looks like that tbh But then again why reinvent the wheel? They added new mechanics for sure but didn't change anything drastically and they are probably right for that.
No it doesn't unfortunately. Only option is to wait until online-fix.me uploads it they have cracks that also work online playing with friends who also have the same version
It is in AppData\Roaming\SlayTheSpire2\steam, and there should be a different folder for different Steam users. If you have multiple folders, I would suggest you cut and paste everything into a different place and launch the game from Steam and see what the name of the new folder created in this folder is. Then choose the folder with a different number, cut, and copy, and replace the items in this folder.
Yo, this isn't where you ask for updates. Mod's don't monitor comments for upgrade requests. AT the top right of the page it says "game requests" Go there, read the rules, and supply the needed info in the thread for game updates.
Yup, it crashes at the start. Even if you do manage to run it for a while, it will crash randomly. Steam has a lot reports of this and it's definitely a game issue.
i try downloading the Slay.the.Spire.2.v2026.05.29 version but the link take me to the previous version where doormaker still exist . any fix for this ?
....ooooooh. So that's why the score is tanking currently...
I don't even like her but come on, this is retarded.

Everything burns, indie game companies and all.

Thanks for stopping by. Now go back to your gravesite. See you in 3 years. 🥱
- worthwhile life
- being a broke pirate
Being both of those is wild, anon.What would be worthwhile is working on your grammar, sounding like a meme edgelord. Who the hell are you trying to fool with this sock account? 🤣

You're being one of those toxic retarded people yourself.
And here I fixed it, since it made you so angry you literally made an account after me.

Why would you assume some weird conspiracy theory explanation rather than the very obvious one?
But there's no weird conspiracy here. It's just facts. You don't know how the entire industry functions.
If you say it’s between a like or dislike, it is not bad enough to be "disliked" by most players, but if it is score-based, it can only go up to 7/10 to be distinguished from a true 9/10 game.

New graphics.
This time includes bugs.
But then again why reinvent the wheel? They added new mechanics for sure but didn't change anything drastically and they are probably right for that.
Bugs in these types of games can kill your run and mood. So play with that in mind.

And Hit Enter.
I guess no choice but to wait for the hotfix.
the genre definer is back
In any case, the game is updated.
