How do we take Steam reviews seriously when we get reviews like this?

>literally hundreds of reviews in a game
>WAAAAAH THESE CHERRY PICKED ONES SUCK!
cringe

steam isn't going to enforce some arbitrary minimum review quality, if you don't like the review skip it and look for a more informative one

why do you want to regulate peoples free speech in regards to reviews?

He has every right to just say
"Its shit"

It's not about entitlement. If you're going to post a review explain yourself. It's not helpful at all. If you post just "It sucks" don't expect anyone to take you seriously. This is one of the reasons why Epic Store with no review by users is such a god send. Because we get fucking retarded anime posters who don't even give the time and day about the actual game.

Who am i supposed to listen to for reviews then?
Game journalists and critics?

I'd take a flood of reviews with small amount of retards over that shit any day of the week.

>free speech
>muh censorship

Yes, I also have every right to complain about how stupid and irrelevant your review is. Notice how we can rate reviews? It's shit just as much as his lazy post. I also have a say on things too. How does this negate what I say? If your review sucks it fucking sucks you pathetic faggot.

its not their fault that the only way to get consumers voices heard is through reviews. most publishers dont give a fuck what your gripe is up until it starts to actually hurt them, in this case it being negative recommendations.

First of all.
>cherrypicking
Secondly, how are they invalid? Don't throw shade without at least backing them up. But what can I expect from a filthy chink. Worse than Indian telemarketers.

Missing the entire point user. This goes for lazy reviews with nothing pertaining to the details of the game. This also goes for positive. If someone says, "It's good" or, "It's bad". Fucking explain yourselves. What made some fucking lazy faggot to think and post just 2 words thinking they made a helpful review. If you're going to be helpful be fucking descriptive.

this, they bought and played the game. 10-15 minutes isn't all that much time to make a real critical opinion, but certainly enough to have their initial reaction heard. two and a half hours certainly is. the top review is a prime example of the good reviews can do for the community beyond just the yes/no or five-star voting system.

>Implying it only happens to one game
>Reviews like OP's happens on a constant basis through all the games on Steam

Not cherrypicking go and look up any game you'll get the same lazy response

I know exactly what your point is you fucking hypocrite. Why didnt you also include examples of ''bad'' positive reviews in the OP? Get the fuck out.

You can complain about it, but you have no right to have it removed

>No

Isn't that what OP is saying but in regards to the reviews? (Yes it is)

Who said we want them removed? No one said this other than your /pol/ brain thinking that

Do you have zero capacity to filter usefull information? Fucking brainlets I swear.

It's a store wars thread. They're paid to be stupid.

No wonder why lotas devs are moving to EGS

I don't need some random faggot giving me a full page review of a game. I can find that anywhere. Him telling me it runs fine on Linux though is extremely useful information.

Nice of you to damage control. Nice spacing too era.

Good games will have overwhelmingly good reviews
Risk of rain 2 has 900 negative reviews and they arent any less valid than the 17k positive reviews

But he doesn't talk about the game whether it's good or not it's not even a game review

better than having no reviews

I bought Risk of Rain 2, and refunded it after an hour and a half. Here's my legit review:

It was bland and boring as fuck, and I don't plan on ever giving it a try again. Thumbs Down.

See? Thats perfectly enough to be a review and I don't need to explain shit to anyone.

>Moving the goal post this hard

Haha u browse reddit xD

>It was bland and boring as fuck

Why was it boring?

These are things you need to put a little more effort into. Or else people will skip your review as non-helpful.

You do need to justify it, that's the point of a review.

Yeah, and it was a great site when lolspeak was a thing too right? I would go up to a cashier and say "o rly?" in the same way I would go up to a professor for my college and say "seething Wojack" as a response to something. Things were always stupid.

your argument would be valid except you didn't actually post positive reviews that were meme-y

The positive reviews you posted were useless, but the people played them for 20+ hours meaning the opinion is valid.

Chink.

There's literally nothing wrong with the first review.

>things were always stupid
actual newfag

Those reviews only matter to other users, like the devs give a shit about a bunch of shitters with one word reviews

What's the point of repeating the same few positive or negative points when nobody is going to ever read past the top ones?

>actively policing reviews
Jesus Christ I hope Epic is paying you for that.

I always make my reviews detailed so my friends can know whats up. Reviews of friends show at the top.

>The positive reviews you posted were useless
Then I made my point.

>but the people played them for 20+ hours meaning the opinion is valid.
No it's not. There's people who are biased and love the game because of the name. Ever heard of blind fanboyism? You gotta put them in check.

>your argument would be valid except you didn't actually post positive reviews that were meme-y

I don't care because that's not the point I'm trying to make. Also if you've never seen those meme reviews on games you don't even use Steam at all.

Epic doesn't need to pay anyone. Gamers or incels as I like to call them are doing a perfectly good job of making themselves look like retards with the Steam review bombing.

Here you go less reddit for you

There's literally an upboat feature on reviews seeing if the review is helpful or not you fucking retard

Do you have any arguments towards the points made? Are you too lazy or you just don't want to admit that you're wrong in even a slight capacity?

I said more, bitch.

Even zero effort low content reviews serve their purpose, no matter whether they're positive or negative. Quantity is at least good for gauging how many people are liking the game in general so the customer may be prompted to search for more fleshed out information that actually attempts to put into words why the game in question is supposedly good or not. While quantity of positive or negative reviews isn't the end all metric for the quality of the game that should solely guide your purchasing decisions, seeing something like "Mixed" may be a good red flag and incentivize you to check out why it happens to be that way and then make your decision.

Just use your brain for once like any other sane person.

>"Hey did you like indiegarbage XYZ?"

That's what recommendations mean, if you want any more in-depth reviews you can either scroll through others or engage with the person in a dialogue. You can PM them on Steam or literally leave a comment under their review.

They are not journalists, they are customers. They are not bound to any standards, suck it up indiefag.

If I were a developer I’d be glad such a brainlet movement that wants user reviews policed exists. More money for me!

>That's what recommendations mean, if you want any more in-depth reviews you can either scroll through others or engage with the person in a dialogue. You can PM them on Steam or literally leave a comment under their review.
We're all doing that already.
>They are not journalists, they are customers. They are not bound to any standards, suck it up indiefag.
It doesn't take a journalist degree to post a thoughtful review. Literally add a few more sentences bare minimum. Not this lazy shit

you can't have a valid opinion of a game if you've played it for less than .1 hours. That is literally less than 6 minutes. The review isn't valid; the opinion isn't valid.

Wrong, nigger. We review to voice our opinion and to shift the game's popularity/future profitability. I will give bad reviews for any small detail I deem worthy of shitting on it.

This isn't necessarily true. One can form an opinion on Tetris within 6 minutes. Modern games tend to be more complex, but not all of them are. I knew within 6 minutes of starting Crypt of the NecroDancer that I liked it. I knew within 6 minutes of starting Downwell that I liked it. I knew within 6 minutes of starting Thomas Was Alone that it would probably be boring and pretentious garbage, and I could have been wrong — the game could have suddenly gotten better after an hour or two — but I wasn't wrong; it sucked.

You call it like that, I call it a valid opinion as I do not need to explain myself. Fight me, try to remove my review.

Because you retarded faggots have made reviews meaningless with your incel rage? Are you actually retarded?

seethe for me gook!

I'm talking about taking your review seriously as in actually using your shit-tier review to convince me to buy or not to buy the game you fucking mongoloid.

Silence, incel

So don't base your purchase on his review you tard

>try to remove my review.
That's not even the point and we don't even need to. All we do is just skip your review and never see it again. Maybe we'll laugh at it.

it's chink not gook you retard can't even shitpost right

Its your mom that makes all the noise bro not me!

You are, faggot

What the fuck do you even mean
Just read the other reviews

No review is reliable.

The best that could ever be said about user reviews is that they’re better than shill professional reviews.

That is still true.

Wow this user is so smart! No way!!! It's not like any of us thought this way!! Thought provoking user

Move on

Sounds like you need to dialate, sweetie.

I agree. It serves more as showing your opinion rather than explaining it.
It would be nice if you could just rate a game without having to leave a low effort review saying "bad game" or something. Seamless does that I'm pretty sure and it works well.
It would also make what OP is bitching about effectively a non-issue.

>we

Look aroud this thread user it's not just me. it's we.

So what's the problem

Please tell me a time when things were "bette4" without the generic rose tinted goggles of "LE EPIC CHRIS CHAN, POOLS CLOSED, MOUNTAIN DEW NAME CONTEST!!!" Because you seem to be purposefully ommitiong literally anything negative from past times because you want to feel nostalgic.

Yet you keep coming back, every fucking time.
