What do you think about steam reviews, anon?
Do you think it's reddit?

They're fine for getting the gist of a game but not for whether or not it suits your taste. Reviews will tell you if a game has performance issues, if a multiplayer game is dead, or if it's abandoned by its developers.

I only read negative reviews

Just remember that all clown badges you receive should be considered badges of honor because it essentially just means you BTFO of someone enough to get THEM to give YOU a reward form blowing them the fuck out with your opinion.

It can go both ways imo. A review getting clown awards are usually at the top or bottom of the IQ bell curve.
Like a lot of the time it's just some faggot crying about the game being too hard for them.

This. I usually just read the best rated, top 3 negative reviews. If those are just shizo babble from someone with 3k hours, nitpicks or some filtered noobs it's a buy.

They're pretty useful but could be so much better. Hardware info should be included, and meme reviewers need to be shot on sight.

I leave a good review if I enjoy an indie game

reviews on any site will never have any value unless they're heavily moderated, gatekept, and restricted to people with many hours of gameplay. watching a gameplay video or a stream is infinitely better than watching a review, because nowadays the people who make reviews don't care about being informative.
>inb4 "muh freedums" or "muh right to an opinion"
reviews used to be sacred and anyone using those excuses to justify making their shitty reviews deserves to be publicly executed

>>716293753 (OP)
I looks for reviews from players with over 1000 hours. I will know immediately if the game is worth playing or not.

>Do you think it's reddit?
No, it's steam.

>>716293753 (OP)
Steam reviews are begging for some sort of technical issue filter.
I don't care if there were problems at launch that are solved now or about braindead fags who are incapable of looking up a simple solution on PCgamingwiki.
What about, you know, the fucking game itself?

>>716293753 (OP)
they're useful for getting a message to the devs
when Resident Evil 2make got its forced DX12 patch (in which they also fucked up the basic lighting in favor of letting raytracing handle it) the reviews were calling bullshit all over the place, especially as capcom had just had the game on a big sale and saw a good amount of new W7 users

This boss didn't enjoy the steam reviews at all.
