Go vote it if you agree.

Above all:

1. reviews system sucks (lots of spammers, you can't edit your review, you can't even find it again if there are many): more sorting options (most positive, most negative, as in Amazon, plus 'game owners only' option), editing options (also delete), allow long reviews again (really!!!), get rid of spammers (report button? parser?), an indicator to know if the reviewer owns the game (also: show at first only reviews from game owners in the front page of the game, extra opinions only if a box is checked: so spammers and hopefully reviewer bots are out).

2. clickable usernames: find posts, find reviews, reputation, etc. Maybe even profile, but only with privacy setting (so that you can choose what to show and what not).

All this is aimed at one thing GOG is lacking: TRANSPARENCY. Who tells me that many first hour reviewers aren't paid by GOG to write good things about those games? I want to read their forum posts, and read their other reviews, to be sure they are customers/players and not REVIEWER BOTS.

Yeah, clickable profiles, friends system, favourite games to show, etc. would be great because of its social values.

I don't like those conspiracy theories about GOG and positive reviews. Come on. Most of the customers here exactly know what do they wanted to buy. I don't think it was necessary to write that accusations.

SAUSAGES!

All this sounds awesome but it has one personal problem (for me) and one objective problem:

I think reviews are a flawed tool to gauge what kind of games you might be interested in but I like the entertainment value of the ones I've finished myself so I would still like all the things you mentioned.

The objective problem is that you are not the first one to ask this and GOG hasn't responded: either they don't care or can't afford the change, the GOG team seems to be all about making sure games work and new releases which of course makes sense, it's their revenue but it still doesn't explain supposedly easy programming problems aren't fixed yet.

Boobies!! There's been a lot of suggestions which haven't been actioned. Stuff like a proper working search for threads has been asked many times.. still nothing. And they only just hired new web people a few months ago?.

FTFY

Christ on a crutch. You haven't spent a lot of time here, have you?

They still do. http://www.gog.com/work#senior_web_developer

But I wouldn't expect changes so quickly.

It's not that I'm keen on conspiracy theories either, but if GOG does nothing to improve these aspects ambiguity remains. If you want to stop the bad talk, be transparent and things get better. I can't believe that with all the money GOG has been making in these years they can't afford some site improvements.

Yeah. Let's not forget what the money was actually spent on for the last few years. Getting more publishers and more games on the DRM free bandwagon.

Such frivolities. Those people make me sick.

Keep making fun, of me? Even of yourself as a customer. They make those things not for charity you know. Are they dumb at Amazon and other retailers, that they allow people to search for other people's opinion and such? It's part of the customer care. If they don't care, neither I will any more.

You made an assumption. I pointed out the obvious flaw in that assumption. I also used fanciful rhetoric while doing so. I regret nothing.

There are spammers, especially in the games with lots of reviews. And let's assume that first hour reviews are like you say, still it wouldn't be needed much to make already the reviews more useful. More sorting options (sort by most useful positive/most critical review) wouldn't need to change the layout of the page, just two more options in the dropdown menu. And a button to show/hide opinions from non-game owners would be a good thing too, I think. I'm not saying that who doesn't own the game shouldn't be entitled to review it, if they own it from other sources (I made myself a couple of reviews of old games I didn't own on GOG), but it's a very useful and important sorting option in my opinion.

Right now, in the reviews, the first ones who post a review are almost guaranteed to have it on the 'most useful reviews' forever. Putting a limit on reviews length has only aggravated this, because in-depth reviews aren't even possible anymore. In games with lots of reviews, 'most recent reviews' brings you to the spammers section.
If you want to look for somebody who disliked the game and why, to make yourself an opinion, it's almost impossible. At Amazon reviews are extremely useful, at GOG they are useless.

What do you mean there are lot of spam reviews on GOG? What do you call 'spammers'?????
Have u actually looked at Amazon reviews???.. There an awful lot of 'fake' (ie people paid to do them)reviews if u look closely enough - it has been talked about elsewhere
