I played 360 hours of this damn game in a month. It changed the way my brain works, and is amazing. Space Age is hilarious and infuriating. The built-in mod manager is mind-bogglingly good.

Hopefully some of the devs don't have awful worldviews anymore.

Listen, I hate reviewing things, but here we are almost 2,000 hours in and this thing just keeps getting worse.

Paliverse's cash-grab "upgrade" moving DS functionality into a higher premium add-on when it used to be base app functionality was a trash move. This app used to be great, but now we're in a place where settings are just ignoring their selection after a steady decline in user experience since I purchased the original DSX, before the "upgrade" existed. I never, *ever* want to see this app on startup and it used to respect that setting, but the V3 "upgrade" hogs a huge chunk of my screen on every reboot.

The app is constantly dropping inputs, sometimes even in passthrough, though rare. The CPU resources needed to emulate controller functionality are either low-priority in scheduling (potentially a machine issue, but likely not) or horribly allocated (not my fault, but is causing input drops). I'm more inclined to believe the former, because controllers connected without the app running work without any issues, there's just no DS functionality.

Lastly, get that "kindly connect a controller..." language out of here. No. I will not, and I will not do it kindly next time I do because of how this app makes me want to behave: like a petulant teenager with a baseball bat. I don't know who on your design team worked in call centers or for how long, but it's offensive to be told to do something with the request of "kindly." Don't tell me what to do directly, just inform me that I need to connect a controller for the app to work. Less words, more clear, doesn't use uncomfortable language. Amazing. What a concept.

I bought your product, twice. Lots of people here did. Kindly pull your heads out of your asses.



(Edited to add dropped inputs complaint)

Played 7 years ago before Heavensward dropped. Came back and this game has aged like a fine wine. In one month, it became the second-highest played game of the year for me. I definitely don't have a problem.

Getting better.
