"Review bombing" just means "the peons disagree". They hate that we hsve ability to express opinions.
This. Specially on Steam. You can't review bomb on Steam (not efficiently, at least) because you need to buy the game first (you can go through the trouble of buying and refunding but still). "Review bombing" on Steam, like the anon said, means that customers are angry because of something. Sometimes it's a legit concern (like a series of bugs) or sometimes it's something petty like "muh second/third/fourth most spoken language and this game didn't translate".
A ton of trannies turn their reviews negative for a game if the developers miss a beat in proclaiming their undying love for wokeshit, what are you on about?
Wish they had a rating out ten. These stars are unreadable and hard to interpret, comparatively.
>out [of] ten
0-6 literally hitler you ain't gonna play
7 jank af if it's your niche
8-9's devs' not getting their bonus a maybe
10 the tutorial had a black gay girl in it! when you get around to it.
>10 the tutorial had a black gay girl in it!
You know they're chuds not just "conservative men" because men know how to accept defeat gracefully. Chuds will forever seethe over the fact that their opinions are now the minority
Men also stand up for what they know is right in the face of adversity. So changing their opinions just cuz they're not mainstream enough would make them a pushover conformist. So maybe I don't need the validation of the TV people to think "women and minorities are overrated"
>Men also stand up for what they know is right
Which is also how you know they're chuds, because they can't back up their stance with anything but lies and cope. absolutely 0/10 "humans"
Judging from your behavior, you seem to only back up your stances with only state approved opinions and never look beyond that regardless of whether or not they're lying to you.
>only back up your stances with only state approved opinions and never look beyond that regardless of whether or not they're lying to you.
And the scheisters trying to sell you on division aren't also trying to artificially block out outside opinions? Face it, the thought police is so uniform people are arguing against each other under the same regime.
The journos never play further. She wanted to be a real journalist but had to settle for silly video game articles
>Hsve
Noooo you can't criticize my ragebait article, NOOOOOOOO!
The frick is this about?
People saying that Eurogamer docked their score of XVI solely because of muh diversity
>eurogamer
More like bri'ish gamer, the rest of europe barely talks about diversity. I can't believe these morons put "euro" in their name, the UK is basically an american colony now
Really, review bombing is considered uncouth because it's agknowladged you're leaving negative reviews for reasons the game typically shouldn't be rated for or overblowing the importance of one element. For example the cast and crew who worked on a game shape the game, sure, but to say a game is bad because I don't like the director can be argued to be an immature and unrelated piece of criticism.
If you bomb a review because you don't think it has enough diverse people in it, that may be relevant if the game is heavily cast or narrative focused like a detective/VN, but not to a Sonic game or a Mario game, but even then such critisism doesn't deem a game to be absolute good or bad.
But its my review, I should be able to make whatever score I want soley on my own criteria
If you do this then you're fighting for the ethical usage of review bombing, and the only remedy for this is the requisit of actually writing reasonings ala a comment or a fleshed out review. People ought to understand why you rate a game as high/low as you do, and if I see a 1/10 and the written reason is "go woke, go broke" or "the misogyny in this game is toxic" I'll now know you aren't judging the game on its gameplay merits but on these sole standards that are fractions of the entire game's recipe.
Ironic, nobody will want put forth the effort of getting an account setup just to participate in a discussion of a subject when they know their opinions aren't welcome and will be censored anyway. Way to have a nice day in the foot and disinterest your audiance.
>But its my review, I should be able to make whatever score I want soley on my own criteria
Meant to be greentext'ed as an >inb4 predicted argument
That's a lot of words to say you're a homosexual.
even israelitegamer didn't give the game a 1/5, they gave it 3/5 presumably lowered from 4/5
it's still moronic but better than review bombing that goes 1/5 or that moronic hogwarts review that gave it a 1/10
Where do you draw the line between review bombing and a game just getting tons of negative reviews?
Why is it only review bombing if they are ''negative'' ?
Cant I log onto meta critic and say fallout76 is the true magnum opus of the 21st century even though I never played it?
If there is some political/superficial bias behind it, then it's review bombing. If it's genuinely bad, then it's just bad.
simple as.
by this logic LGBTroons and journos giving more positive reviews to """inclusive""" (blackrock-certified ESG shit) games is entirely invalid and review bombing as well
Yes, remember when they review bombed Kingdom Come because the dev refused to add african americans to his game set in medieval europe?
I remember
Yeah. That falls under "some political/superficial bias behind it"
>and review bombing as well
Bombing implies that you are decreasing the score.
What would be the opposite of review bombing?
Review ballooning?
inflated reviews I guess
>review inflating
>review dobsoning
>review blowing
>review constructing
>review city building
or just shilling
Well there is such a thing as spamming it with fake positive reviews becuase it has a fake political messege you agree with.
On rotten tomatoes at least critics give some films that nobody likes positive reviews because it's controversial. Since nobody looks at critic scores anymore, they even have a thing called a "verified audience score" now. Sometimes they just lock the audience score too.
Bad game = bad score = normal negative reviews
Game, regardless of quality > bad score based off of some external politics > review bombing
Fallout76 is legit just objectively bad. But lets say it was good, or at least as good as a typical game. But it got hogwarts'd and the developer was accused of being transphobic, or alternatively, the game itself was accused of being right wing propoganda or racism or whatever, and then the negative reviews come in with no real basis, thats a bombing.
Same way snoys giving Horizon a 10/10 were review bombing zelda with 0's and 1's, its not substantiated, thus its bombing.
Steam reviews is the only platform shills, executives, companies and devs can't control. You can silence your troonycord, reddit, twitter, forums etc. but the red line on steam isnt going anywhere 🙂
People get banned on steam forums all the time.
Again, forums =/= reviews. Ofc gays ban negativity from everywhere its possible thats why they hate reviews tab on steam.
Xbox games have reviews but they get trolled so much I think they might stop allowing them I hope not because it's the main reason I get games on Xbox instead of PS or Nintendo which allows no customer reviews how the frick are you supposed to know what you are buying
You can get temp banned from upvoting other people's steam reviews for a month or longer if you say you click that you found the review helpful, and someone doesn't like what it says and reports it, or the review has info on how to make the game functional by downloading a community made fix from github so that an older game will work again.
Yes. Review bombing is bad because it's the most powerful tool the filthy gamers have at their disposal to express their disdain.
It's fine, but Chinese should be banned from the west
>trannies are hypocrites
>trannies lie
why do you think they rape kids?
Which fricking game journo called for review bombing over diversity? Fricking show them to me you clown.
its okay when we do it
we are the experts
>popular game gets controversial update
>a lot of players show their dislike by leaving a negative review
>developers claim review bombing
warthunder?
pretty much everything, happens almost every day somehwere i believe
for the last 4 days i noticed this
what the frick did an idle game do to piss people off?
He introduced a gacha lootbox with 0.29% chance to get 5 star hero (overpowered pet which saves you ~6months-1year of actual playtime) which goes away after 10 weeks pretty much forcing everyone to dump $1400 if they ever want to have it.
Then guy went radio silent confirming he decided to milk the game
Good for him to be honest.
i mean saving 6-12 months of playtime for only $1400 sounds like good value
guy makes EA/Activision/all the mobile chinese garbages look like amateurs
currency can only be bough by money, there is no pity system but with each pull you increase chances (up to 0.85%) except the cost of the pull also increases which is just unheard of
pets can be traded which means he could in theory make fake accounts, generate himself a pet and then sell it on third party website to make even more money, also creates RMT out of thin air in a stupid mobile idle game
pulls max cost is 250 while dupes can be recycled for ~10crystals
if anything others should study as he already made around 100k in a single day as a 1man
you get access to everything from the activity without even having it, you dont have to touch it ever, even if you dont have it unlocked you get EVERYTHING
Oh god I thought you still had to unlock the god in the first place, that's even more fricked.
The pet doesn't even save you that gameplay time, it literally gives you all the effects of a certain activity in the game at once. Normally you pick 1 god out of 10 for a benefit (something like 30% bonus damage or easier training of something else) and the new pet just gives you all 10 of the abilities at the same time, something that isn't possible elsewhere. It also applies to all characters at once and on your way to getting that pet you get a bunch of other overpowered abilities too.
On top of that a "f2p" player can get a single roll at the pet week, so your odds of getting the good one are pretty much 0 with that ~10 week time limit
I'm sure there's some nuance I'm missing here, but the idea of paying extra money so you can potentially save time you would have to spend playing the actual game seems insane.
its not even spending money to save time, its spending money on gambling to maybe save time
that game in particular is more like rpg with items etc than just cookie clicker but the thing is like having item in WoW from MoP except you are still in Vanilla
review-bombing is just another one of those fricking -isms that the fricking israelites and their pathetic fricking lapdogs have come up with. in reality, there is no such thing. in a free economy, everyone can dislike a product literally for whatever fricking reason they want to. the boss is a fricking dick? shit product. the boss loves Black folk and liberals and israelites? shit product. the boss hates cute and cuddly animals and kicks innocent little cute puppies for fun on his way home from work? DEFINITELY SHIT FRICKING PRODUCT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
>paying customers decide to leave bad reviews after questionable changes made to the game
>"NOOO PAYING CUSTOMERS CANT JUST RATE US NEGATIVE ALL AT ONCE. IT MUST BE AN OFFTOPIC REVIEW BOMB. BAN THEM BAN THEM."
yes you can get community banned for being part of a "review bomb"
ffxvi has really bland sidequests and the plot flipflops between "grounded in reality" and "jrpg bullshit". eurogamers review got shat on too hard.
Yes because their reasons are good and yours are bad. They don't care and never will about being consistent and complaining about it is a waste of time
>tfw you play a video game and there are white people in it
Guess the game.
anime fighter #92
People seem to compare hours with fun. Yes, these people may have fun but realize the game has huge issues. After so many hours I think the guys can talk about a thing or two. They are at least experienced. I'd rather listen to someone with 1k hours than someone with 5.
You can realize a game kinda sucks after 1k hours. Or maybe the updates fricked it.
Review bombing is literally no different than a toddler stomping his feet because mommy won't buy him candy.
>you will eat the shit and you will like it!
>how DARE you peasants speak against us!
>MODS BAN THEM!! MODDSSSS
>you gave a bad review to a bad game from my beloved giant corporation, you are literally a toddler!
If it's a bad gsme that deserves critisism then it's not review bombing when the critisism is just. It's just getting reasonable review feedback at that point.
It is different because potential new players on steam look at the page, see negative and go away
Word spreads etc. Some people read comment and quickly decide they dont want to have anything to do with it.
Also some people just filter negative/mixed games so that helps hiding trash even further.
And devs know it thats why they hate it, can't even pay off journos or make thousands of bot accs as 0.1h garbage reviews actually get deleted unlike the 500h ones
"Review bombing" means gays on Ganker give a game 0/10 despite never having played it just so they can feel like a part of an imaginary community. Use your words correctly, please
Anon, you're describing journo's again.
No, I'm describing you
>gee, imagine if the situation was reversed
Why are anti-trannies such brain dead homosexuals? Of course journos have one standard for their friends and one standard for their enemies.
Chuds still fail to realise that it's not about hypocrisy but hierarchy
this.
I hate hearing "imagine if the situation was reversed" these days because they KNOW they have the power on their side and are asserting that power wherever they go because they hate you.
>incels still struggling, in the year of our Lord 2023, to understand that their opinions of women and minorities (because that's the only thing they ever complain about) are no longer mainstream
>2023 thinking reviews matter
pirate a game, if its good buy it, its not complicated you donut.
For example I am disliked gta iv for removing radio stations.
i heckin love steam reviews bros
shut up chud, this doesnt happen
when anyone review bombs its you chuds crying over "woke" shit
>"good when my side does it, bad when your side does it"
Welcome to everything ever
>review bombing bad
>also if lots of people are unhappy with the game, that's review bombing
stop being such an anti semite there chudster
