I give this thread 2/10.

I hate how on Google reviews everyone gives 5 stars to kiss butt. Its like "I went in and bought the product and got what I paid for. The staff wasnt rude either." Its like thats whats supposed to happen. But really its a crappy place where 2 stars would be honest.

such is your right. also fairly based i guess

People read reviews?

I got permanently banned from 'Trading Card Simulator' for saying on the forum that its been a year and they havnt marked anything off their roadmap yet. They are triggered because they know they took the money and ran.

Same. I've never left a good review on a game, just bad ones because I felt like venting all the things I hate about something that wasted my time/money.

But I at least delete all my reviews after a few weeks, and for some reason have gotten a fair amount of awards so maybe people even relate or avoid a bad purchase.

As a reviewer I give you a 3 out of 10. At least you play the games before reviewing them, even if you do not play fair..

Yeah, sure. Indie game developers. That's why it bothers them to see a bad review on their pet project game. They're the only ones though. AAA developers only care about and most other people just look at the net score. >_>

I use reviews as my personal blog where I complain about games that annoy me even if it's a good game that I've played for hundreds or thousands of hours.

I know some indie devs are annoyed when they reply to my negative reviews but I don't care.

Sad for you.

what did they say? was it an automated response or hand crafted?

I don't usually review, but when I do, I'm either needlessly cruel towards a game aimed for children

Or fanboying a lot

I generally scan them but they don't influence me much anymore. Some of the worst games I've played have overwhelmingly positive reviews on Steam.

Witcher 3 still have overwhelmingly positive reviews

Fair enough. Reviews are subjective, and using them this way, is well within the scope of them.

Also there are too many games and most of them don't deserve to be played. There is literally an endless supply of games and they can't all get positive reviews. We need to start being more critical and holding developers to higher standards. Unless a game is 10/10 or does something truly innovative, then it deserves a negative review.
