MindsEye, the game so bad it makes Cyberpunk 2077 look like a masterpiece, continues its reign of terror. 🎭 After a launch so turbulent it could qualify as a new extreme sport, players are now demanding refunds faster than you can say “optimization patch.” 💸 PlayStation, known for its iron grip on your digital wallet, has started caving, issuing refunds like they’re going out of style. 🔥 Meanwhile, the dev team at Build a Rocket Boy (more like Build a Rocket *Bust*, amirite?) has issued an apology. An apology! As if a few lines of text can fix the steaming pile of code they unleashed upon the world. 💩
After a week of being mercilessly dragged through the digital mud, MindsEye is still struggling to impress anyone who isn’t a paid reviewer (and even they’re probably struggling). User ratings on Steam started at “mostly negative,” briefly flirted with “mixed” (probably due to pity votes), and have now returned to their rightful place in the abyss of “mostly negative.” 📉 This, after over 1,000 brave souls risked their sanity and hardware to play the game. Remember that launch trailer? Yeah, that’s where the problems started. Fans noticed the performance issues faster than a caffeinated teenager spots a new TikTok trend. 📱
Speaking of trailers, did anyone actually *see* gameplay in that thing? Or was it just a bunch of pretty lights and vague promises? 🤔
But wait, it gets better! Mark Gerhard, co-CEO of Build a Rocket Boy (who probably should have stayed in rocket science), suggested that the negative feedback was the result of a coordinated attack by… wait for it… *paid* detractors! 🤯 Yes, folks, according to this genius, people aren’t genuinely disappointed; they’re just being paid to hate the game. Clearly, he’s never heard of the Streisand effect. 🤦♂️ The developers claim they’re working “around the clock” to fix things, but I suspect most of that time is spent Googling “how to fix a game that’s already launched.” 💻 And let’s not forget the two chief executives who conveniently bailed ship right before launch. 🏃♂️🏃♀️ Foresight, or just plain cowardice? You decide! 🗳️
The situation has become so dire that players are actually *getting* refunds from PlayStation. 🤯 Let’s be clear: PlayStation’s refund policy is stricter than my grandma’s rules for using her good china. 🍽️ The last time they caved like this was during the Cyberpunk 2077 fiasco. 💥
Ah, Cyberpunk 2077, the game that set the bar for disastrous launches. 🏆 MindsEye seems determined to limbo under that bar. 🤸♀️ Just like Cyberpunk, players are complaining about bugs, glitches, broken AI, and game crashes. 🐛 One brave soul even took to X (formerly Twitter, because rebranding is always the answer) to share their refund victory. 🎉 “Playstation refunded me Mindseye!!!” they exclaimed, as if they’d just won the lottery. 💰
The developers, bless their hearts, have issued a long-winded apology on X. 📝 They’re “heartbroken” that not everyone is enjoying the game. 💔 They promise to optimize performance and stability. 🛠️ They’re “fully committed” to a great player experience. 💯 Blah, blah, blah. 😴 It’s the same old song and dance. 🎶
So, while MindsEye continues its descent into gaming infamy, remember: the developers are “aware” and “working” on it. 👷♂️ In the meantime, maybe just play something else. 🎮 Like, anything else. 🤷♀️ Seriously, even Minesweeper is a better use of your time. 💣
