Look at all the negative reviews
Look at all the positive reviews

Someone in the middle is the truth.

OP is being a faggot again.

Backpedaling has woken up?

I would never trust a review system where reviews like:

"HAD FUN WITH A MEME 10/10"

"UNINSTALL BUTTON WORKS FINE 1111/10"


have better ratings than elaborated reviews.
>>
>>334285307
The trick is to read only negative reviews and form your opinion from there. When making a purchase hearing what you don't wanna hear is really important. If the negative reviews aren't enough to make you not want the game, get it!

That's how I've done it since steam reviews have been released and I have not been burned on anything.

>>334284886
if anything, the percentage is a better indicator than the raw numbers. seeing "100 negative reviews" on its own doesn't mean shit, what's important is if that's 100 negative out of 5,000 or 100 negative out of 150

The best way to not get burned on anything is to just not play videogames. The trick is to make not enjoying games into a contest.

You're right this is fucked, there is no reason to do it other than hiding shitty games.
>>
Doesn't this shit change depending on games?
I know some games just don't show stats of who's playing or stuff like that for the sake of avoiding humiliation.

>tfw looking at Evolve stats

Fuck, if only there was a way to determine the percentage of negative reviews from the amount of positives, and then turning that percentage into a ratio.

steam reviews are like reading the most boring unfunny redditors try to meme

I fucking hate them

some good games have 95% and then some get 50% because day 1 issues or because some dumb meme

most worthless reviews ever
>>
>>334283396
>create 'funny' category
>the 'most helpful' category is still plagued by sad attempts at unoriginal humor
>>
>>334290360
>guy with 5k hours writes "it's ok"
>3000 people mistake the helpful button for an upvote
>>
>>334290360
the main issue is that you're allowed to select "funny" and "helpful/not helpful". they should all be mutually exclusive
>>
the other problem is that you can't give a game a thumbs up or down without writing a """""review"""""
