No. Steam is full of retarded children, manchildren and trannies who will give games bad reviews for shit reasons unrelated to a game's actual quality.

No. Everyone said Euro Truck Simulator was the greatest. Reddit was cumming all over it. I tried it and it's a boring piece of shit game. The only good thing about it is nothing, it's stupid and boring. Also, a lot of those review are in Chinese WTF and are dumb jokes like "it's alright i guess [12000 hours play time]" like haha very funny, stupid prick. Then there are the faggots that actually take the time to write a 5 page review, like who the fuck is going to read that shit. Steam reviews gave Portal 2 a higher rating than Portal 1, but Portal 1 is GOAT. Fuck Steam reviews. I'm going through a lot rn.

Trust reviews in bulk, not individual ones. You know devs are scum or game fucked up when there are negative reviews in a short time frame.

I'm sorry to hear you have ADHD

it's a good game though, you just have to not be a hyperactive faggot

If a game has bad reviews on steam

>It has a game breaking bug
>The developer caused some drama with it's fanbase like saying all gamers are misogynistic cunt

No exception

Complete opposite, you assumptuous faggot. I hate that all the roads are miniature instead of true scale. It's awkward to drive with the mouse. Complete waste of time. If that stupid game is your gauge of how mature and non-ADD someone is, you have shit tier values.

I hate reviews that are negative and yet the person accumulated a huge amount of playtime. "I played this game for 155.4 hours but it sucks". What am I supposed to think? I mean sometimes it's because a patch broke the game but that's excessively rare, most of the time it's someone playing a game for hundreds of hours and then writing it sucks because the loading screen is boring or their waifu doesn't have enough lines.

If you see 1 or 2 reviews and base everything off that you're a retarded zoomer. You need to evaluate what games you personally like and ask yourself if this is the kind of game you'd enjoy. That being said I also do not enjoy Euro truck but it is not a bad game. I'm just not into slower paced driving games. Though I do enjoy games like house flipper, Plane mechanic simulator, and junkyard simulator.

>"cant get it to work"
>play it and it has no issues
can people stop shitting up the reviews with useless shit?

>excessively rare
Its not though and you can be damned sure the last part of your post never happens. Theres hundreds and thousands of reviews. Making judgements from one retard on there paints as you as a drooling idiot who needs his hand held.

I don't trust reviews period.

It's helpful to see when there's a massive wave of bad reviews to see when something controversial happened. It might be something dumb but you can do the research yourself at that point.

as long as it isn't written by a chink

Did you read my post correctly? I don't make any generalization. I am strictly emitting my opinion about one type of review that is rare by itself. The part in my post that says "excessively rare" is when a discrepancy between playtime and rating is strictly attributed to an ulterior patch, which is even more rare.

>euro truck is boring
What a fucking shit taste, Jesus Christ, get a grip man.

I trust them more than any other rating system, . Altough with the new changes, it might not be the case anymore.

Knowing how your tastes differ from gamer brah, or literally resetera, or fucking reddit is very important, and something you need to be able to read in the lines.

Not really, but i like to read a couple before purchase to get a general overview, ignoring short ones ones like the one in your image since i want to know WHY it is Good/Bad, performance issues and such.

The specifics of WHY it sucks is still sometimes interesting, at least if they even bother. It's also likely that the person reviewing isn't the same person playing, ala a brother.

i read through steam reviews for every purchase that i make.

never trust anyone with one of those

I know enough asian language shit to be able to read some of that, and it's actually useful. You just have to ignore the rating completely with the chinese, and pay attention to the meta. EG, paid good review bomb.

No. If the game looks good from the videos and screenshots I buy it.

Dude I've seen that type of review many times. One of the reasons its at the top is because many people trust others with large hours to tell you to avoid something. These games are designed to be near endless so having large hours of playtime and a negative review are common. Just look at WoW and you can bet most who've played it would never reccomend it to new players currently.

How many hours do you have in MGSV?

trust is a strong word, but i use them as one of the many sources to reach a consenus.

Would you trust this review?

I would absolutely pay attention to any ww2 war game he gave a positive review to.

You describe only a certain type of game (made to be endless) and a certain type of review ("avoid it because it's addictive"). I mentioned neither of these things.

never played it

More than Tim Sweeney

well look at this mister fancypants being all like "I'm reasonable and prudent"

I don't pay attention to reviews. If a game looks interesting I'll give it a whirl. If I like it then great. If I don't then I just stop playing it. Wasteful, perhaps, but I don't buy games often so it's not a big deal.

The overall gestalt of it has some value, the individual review on average doesnt.
Nonetheless, despite upvoting the biggest memes being a blight, actually insightful reviews regularly find their way to the top.
In essence: Yes.

After writing a brutally short and honest review of a game, I do trust them to a decent extent. It's more about the reviews in bulk than individual ones though.

nobody cares about your boring simulators

I read reviews to see if the game has a lot of red flags that would make me consider the game unplayable. I've hated very positively received good games because they had enough red flags to turn me off, and I've liked very negatively received games because the problems most people had with the games were not things I cared about.

In other words I trust people to give specific information honestly if they leave specific information at all since people who put no thought into it also don't have specific information to give. If they don't have any information and only talk about their feelings I just dismiss it.

Only the negatives that list problems clearly and obviously.

1 line reviews should be forced to be "information" reviews
Reviews with only 1 word should be banned. Yes, it's "Shit" or it's "Great" but please explain WHY you useless faggot. (unless the word in the review IS "why" in which case, allow it for comedy purposes)

Gaben said something like that once. The Internet (in aggregate) is scary smart.
