Ain't nothing like going on the Steam store and seeing a game advertised with a negative review. It's like seeing a car dealership commercial where the owner says "Let's hear what our customers have to say!"
>Took hours for them to get me a good deal
>They got me in a car really fast! Awesome service! The one car salesman Carl was really creepy tho lol
>Couldn't get the sales guy to understand I wasn't interested in a pickup. I got my mustang, tho, so its all good.
>DO NOT GO HERE. Worse salesmen ever. I waited in the parking lot for somebody for like 25 minutes. My husband has diabetes and we can't have him out in the heat for very long. To make a long story short, we were about ready to give up when
And many more! Bob Goldberg Buick. Like my daddy always said: If we can't get you some wheels, well then we aren't doing our jobs.
Yes, that's literally the function of a bad review. Congratulations.

What point are you trying to make here? Should Steam only display positive reviews? Cause that's audience manipulation and no-one would be fine with that.

>playing borderlands for the story New or just retarded?

>wtf why isn't steam biased and hiding the truth???
Kayden Green
No. I have nothing against it. I'm making note of how odd it is after seeing billboards, boxes, magazine covers, etc, with reviews, scores, and customer comments praising whatever the advertisement is.
You will never open a magazine to the Marlboro guy and his caption "This shit's not worth the price"
Kayden Kelly
I'd honestly perfer to get an honest review that takes in merits and flaws like that one that straight praise or pure negativity. Plus that guy in the pic is saying Borderlands 3 is saying it's a good game.
Kevin Murphy
What the fuck are you even talking about? The review recommends the game and calls it fun but also calls the story trash. Which is true - it's Borderlands.
Jordan Howard
How is a user review balancing positives and negatives odd at all? This isn't a Gearbox sponsored advert, it's a Steam user review.
Juan Taylor
At least Steam has user reviews.
Asher Moore
>I'm making note of how odd it is after seeing billboards, boxes, magazine covers, etc, with reviews, scores, and customer comments praising whatever the advertisement is. So you're just so used to shilling, that an actual review of the game is confusing to you?
Ryan Rivera
It's not a high bar but Seam user reviews are unironically the best review system in the vidya industry.
Prove me wrong.
Evan Nguyen
It's not about a review or borderlands, you idiots. It's the fact that it's on the store page like an advertisement in which it could potentially display an extremely negative review that the developer may not want.
What if it said "Don't buy this piece of trash game." I have no doubt it alone could influence the sell. Some not even needing to see other reviews. I'm all for honest reviews, but if I had my game up on the store, I don't think I'd like it advertised with the most negative review. Nobody would, and you're lying if you said otherwise. And that goes for any business. What if the cable networks decided to include my worst customers opinions when showing my commercial? What if they were lying?
I'd rather it simply show the game for sell. Then you can click reviews and sort how you wish. It's just fucking odd to see a review saying buggy piece of shit right next to the game advertised. It has potential for abuse by the competition, or even Valve. They can select any review to display?

>OH NOOOO WONT SOMEONE PLEASE THINK OF POOT OLD RANDY It's a user review. Who cares?
A positive one too.
Owen Collins
fuck off randy nobody cares
Connor Collins
That's what happened when Valve coincidentally sets the algorithm to detect a review bombing and making customers see the altered review score by default. If customers want to see the truth they need to OPT OUT of the disinformation on a game-by-game basis. It seems this shit has been forgotten already.
>it could potentially display an extremely negative review that the developer may not want. it'd be a damn shame if people interested in the game actually received honest information about a shitty game before pissing away money on it.
Review bombs barely happen anymore mate. And the last few ones have all been about utterly asinine garbage where Yas Forums and retardera shitflinged with each other again.
Luke White
Do I look like I give a fuck? Valve decided they are the arbiters of what is or is not a valid review when they stand to financially benefit when review scores are high. This is clearly a violation of customer trust when you consider they're not doing anything to curtail illegitimate positive reviews. Is it a big problem? No. But does that mean it should happen? Fuck no. Customers should opt-in to see altered shit. The unfiltered results should be the default. Let crybabies who only want to look at positive reviews put their own fucking hands over their own fucking eyes.
Ian Cooper
Don't use the review system for your trash political agendas.
William Gutierrez
I don't. I'm a customer that values the truth. More information is better. If there's something going on with a game or the developers that some people find bad I want to fucking know about it. Odds are I will agree with them and I will be thankful that I did not waste my money. Hiding information like that slightly increases the likelihood of me regretting my fucking purchase. This has nothing to do with politics. Don't expect the review system to be curated on your behalf. Curate it yourself. You have plenty of tools to do this already.
Hunter Cook
>It's not about a review or borderlands, you idiots. Oh so that's why you chose a borderlands review. Makes so much sense now.
Austin Johnson
But every reviewbombed game already has a mark of shame asterisk next to the rating that will never go away.
Robert Mitchell
Would be nice to just ignore it, but it's hard to do. Yes, it's not just cutscene after cutscene, but it's still an unending barrage of poorly written dialogue in your ears due to characters being unable to fucking shut up for a goddamn second.
Isaiah Lee
Not good enough. Let people who only want to look at positive reviews check the box that says show positive reviews. Let everyone else see the truth by default. Why are you fucking advocating that customers have information withheld from them? Are you not a customer? Are you some dick sucking developers that hates the review system because people judge your pixel indie shit appropriately worthless?
Jeremiah Taylor
>shitterlands >bad story what were they expecting?
especially after all 3 previous games were dogshit, too.
I wanted to get borderlands 3 so bad bc I played all of them previously with a shifting group of friends (there were like 6 of us so we had to switch around). I even played all of that Telltale Borderlands too. But borderlands 3 would just remind me none of us are even friends anymore and how I wasted my teenage years playing videogames with the same people who arent even worth second look in the street now
Kayden Carter
you're supposed to advertise with them? huh
Gabriel Green
based on what they've shown so far, the story is gonna suck major dicks (literally), the gameplay is gonna be the 2nd coming of christ with mayhem 2.0
Chase Anderson
>automated system looks for certain keywords like SUPREME, fun, friend >automated systems don't screen for context >company doesn't have an actual person approve the content Is this your first time using the internet?
>Some not even needing to see other reviews. I'm all for honest reviews, but if I had my game up on the store, I don't think I'd like it advertised with the most negative review.
So what? Reviews aren't to protect bad developers, they're to protect consumer's money and the publishing/review platform's reputation as something worth listening to i.e. not a shill factory.
Ryder Johnson
>The first DLC was well received where did you hear this at? gearbox headquarters?
Hey Randy, I want you to know that I was a BL2 fan until you soured me on your entire company by shilling Epic and SJW shit. I'm also one of those people that other gamers listen to and do or don't buy shit based on my recommendations because I have actual taste.
Get your shit together and stop pandering to minority flakes and con artist platforms.
Gabriel Torres
I fucking hate people with type 2 diabetes.
