Megabyte: You know you MIGHT have a point here, but for this.. this line right here. The number of reviews dont matter so much if the collective community has spoken by promoting them like that. Just saying.
zheprime: "The community" consists of people going to the store page with the sole intention of review bombing and marking review bomb reviews as "helpful". How many people to you think actively goes to random store pages and looks through a bunch of reviews, reads through them all and marks them as helpful (because why would a bunch of people just head onto a store page and mark a bunch of reviews as helpful without reading them?). These people are united by their review bomb crusade. It's not a natural process at all.
This is why I think that review bomb reviews should be flagged as being automatically unhelpful. MAYBE allow one for visibility. MAYBE. But it'd be much better to have an actual review that mentions it as well and not just some shitpost "review" with a 1/5 score.
You're not helping your fellow gog users by review bombing.
You know... lashing out like this cause you dont like that people agree with the sentiment (which in essence is WHY THEY ARE BEING MARKED AS HELPFUL) isnt going to help your fellow users either. What is is to make them aware of issues you have with said game.
That said if you want to ignore all that, Im sure you can find people streaming the game and see it for yourself to make up your mind. That might help YOU and those who dont care about this issue far more.
EDIT: actually I reccomend it over reading blurbs in a gamestore anyway to be quite honest. I use these blurbs myself SEPCIFICALLY to be alerted to bullets to dodge. If I want to know how good a game is, I would rather check it out myself... and reccomend anyone else do the same
