Geoguessr responde a la retroalimentación en medio de malas calificaciones de vapor

Autor : Allison Actualizar : May 14,2025

Geoguessr Steam Edition, una reinvención de vapor de uno de los juegos de navegador más queridos del mundo, se lanzó el 8 de mayo, pero rápidamente se ha convertido en el segundo juego calificado de todos los tiempos en Steam. La versión del navegador de Geoguessr ha sido increíblemente exitosa, con 85 millones de jugadores y una amplia gama de opciones de personalización. Estas opciones permiten a los jugadores adaptar su juego, incluida la elección de oponentes, seleccionar mapas, decidir entre entornos urbanos o rurales, restringir las generos de generos a regiones específicas y alternar el movimiento, la panorama y las capacidades de zoom, incluido el modo No-Move, Pan o Zoom (NMPZ). Además, la versión del navegador presenta una variedad de mapas personalizados creados por la comunidad.

Sin embargo, la versión de Steam ha recibido comentarios abrumadoramente negativos, con el 84% de más de 3.000 revisiones de usuarios como negativas desde su lanzamiento el miércoles pasado. Los jugadores han criticado principalmente el sistema de monetización del juego gratuito y las opciones de juego limitadas en comparación con la versión del navegador.

Los fanáticos de GeoguessR también están frustrados por varios otros temas. Vincular una cuenta de GeoguessR de navegador a una cuenta de Steam es permanente y no se puede deshacer, y los usuarios no pueden cerrar la sesión de la versión de Steam. El juego en solitario, incluso para la práctica, no está disponible. El modo aficionado libre parece estar poblado por bots en lugar de jugadores reales. Además, las funciones de compra para la versión del navegador no se transfieren a la versión Steam.

En su defensa, GeoguessR aclara en sus preguntas frecuentes que una suscripción de navegador no otorga automáticamente acceso completo a la edición de Steam, excepto para aquellos con una suscripción anual de élite. La edición de Steam ofrece una compra única de Steam Pass para el acceso al año completo, a diferencia del modelo de pago anual de la edición de navegación. El juego también está marcado como un título de acceso temprano, lo que permite el refinamiento del juego, las nuevas presentaciones de características y los comentarios directos del jugador para garantizar la mejor experiencia posible.

A pesar de esto, los foros de discusión de Steam y el subreddit de Geoguessr revelan que el modelo de monetización y las limitaciones de características han atrapado a muchos jugadores desprevenidos. Aunque etiquetada como gratuita, la versión Steam ofrece menos de una hora de contenido gratuito, limitado al modo de duelos en la división de aficionados. Para acceder a rangos más altos, los jugadores deben pagar una tarifa inicial de $ 30 por una suscripción mensual de $ 2.50, y actualmente no hay otros modos disponibles.

La versión del navegador de Geoguessr tampoco es gratuita, lo que permite tres rondas por día sin suscripción. Para acceder a todos los modos, los jugadores deben suscribirse a uno de los tres niveles premium: Pro Basic a $ 2.49 por mes, Pro ilimitado a $ 2.99 por mes o Pro Elite a $ 4.99 por mes. Solo los dos últimos incluyen acceso gratuito al juego Steam.

En una declaración exclusiva de IGN, Geoguessr expresó emoción por la versión de Steam, señalando que se alinea con su visión de hacer que el juego sea accesible en diferentes plataformas. La compañía destacó nuevas posibilidades, como conectarse con amigos de Steam y una funcionalidad anti-trato mejorada, lo cual es vital para abordar los problemas de trampa que han afectado el juego del navegador.

Tomas Jonson, Jefe de Marketing, describió el lanzamiento de vapor como un hito importante, pero también el comienzo de un mayor desarrollo. Reconoció los comentarios sobre el modelo de monetización y el deseo de una opción de compra única. Jonson explicó que debido a los costos continuos asociados con los datos de Google Street View, la edición Steam sigue un modelo similar al juego del navegador, con el pase de Steam como una compra anual no recurrente.

Geoguessr planea mantener la versión de Steam en acceso temprano durante al menos seis meses, durante los cuales introducirán nuevas características, mapas y elementos competitivos. La compañía aprecia el alto compromiso y los comentarios de los jugadores y se compromete a trabajar estrechamente con la comunidad para desarrollar aún más la edición Steam.

Shadow of the Monkey King: PS5 Patch Delivers Major Performance Boost, But 93GB Download Warning Sends Players Scrambling The highly anticipated Shadow of the Monkey King — officially titled Wukong — has just dropped a major performance patch for PlayStation 5, promising smoother frame rates, enhanced ray-tracing, and improved load times. However, fans are reacting with a mix of excitement and frustration after discovering the patch’s staggering 93GB download size. What’s New in the Patch? According to the official patch notes released by Game Science, the update brings several key improvements: Stable 60fps at 4K Resolution: The game now maintains a consistent 60 frames per second in most gameplay scenarios, a significant upgrade from the variable performance in the initial launch. Ray-Traced Lighting & Reflections: Enhanced visual fidelity with more realistic lighting and environmental reflections, especially in the game’s lush, mythological landscapes. Faster Load Times: Level transitions and open-world travel have been optimized, reducing loading times by up to 40%. Bug Fixes & Stability: Numerous crash fixes and AI behavior adjustments have been implemented based on player feedback. The team has also added a new "Performance Mode" that prioritizes frame rate over resolution, ideal for players who value smooth gameplay over ultra-high graphics. The 93GB Download: A Double-Edged Sword While the improvements are undeniable, the 93GB patch has sparked controversy. For context, the base game was already around 80GB — meaning the patch adds nearly 120% more data. Players on limited storage devices, particularly those with older PS5 models (1TB or 2TB), are alarmed. Many have reported that the patch not only eats up valuable space but may force them to delete other games to make room. Sony has since confirmed that the patch is required to access certain new features, including the expanded "Spirit Realm" side quests and new difficulty modes. Community Reaction “My PS5 only has 2TB, and I’ve already got 100+ games. I don’t even have the storage to test the patch!” – @GamerFromShangriLa “The visuals are gorgeous, but 93GB? That’s more than some whole console games.” – @PixelPanda99 “I’ll take the performance gains… but maybe next time, send a patch that doesn’t require a hard drive upgrade.” – @WukongWarrior Some players are turning to external SSDs, while others are demanding better compression or incremental updates in future patches. What’s Next? Game Science has acknowledged the backlash and said they’re exploring ways to optimize future updates with delta patches. They’ve also hinted at a potential "lightweight" version of the game for lower-end systems. For now, if you’re a fan of Wukong, the patch is worth the download — just make sure you’ve got the space, patience, and a good internet connection. Pro Tip: Use a high-speed external SSD and schedule the download overnight to avoid disrupting gameplay. Shadow of the Monkey King continues to impress with its unique blend of Chinese mythology, fluid combat, and breathtaking art direction. Just don’t forget to double-check your storage before hitting "download." 🐒💥 Lectura
