Witcher 3 is an awesome game. 9.1/10 user score. 100% :fire:. Hmm…

Nier Automata is the only perfect game. That android booty reflect a man’s life time work.

From this list, it seems that only a few magazine critics have not been bribed or have a clue about games. :thinking:

It could be that there’s phantom “scriptkiddies” who only mysteriously target this one game that has obvious bad public reception.

OR

You’re a single delusional idiot who can’t cope that public opinion doesn’t agree with you and so creates conspiracy theories to protect your ego.

I’ll go with the latter. lol

Except rating in this case is not thumbs up or down but is using a scale from 1-10. So which numbers should be removed?? 1-3? 1-5? 1-7? or maybe just keep the 10 or change it to a thumbs up but then it would not be a rating at all. No matter how many numbers u ad or remove to the rating scale the lowest numbers will always be considered trash

Just make it 7-10, that way journalists can rate bad games a 7 and still pretend that it’s good and keep their jobs. Please think of the games journalists.

For the games most of us here enjoy the 1-10 scale just ends up being a 6-10 scale instead, so 1-5 stars works better.

I think the journalist rated the game pretty high, but user ratings is another story

That was the point of my joke, journalists rate everything high. Their baseline starts at a 7 and only the most atrocious slop gets anything lower than that which invalidates the entire 1-10 scale in the first place.

they delete negative comments from the wow forum a long time ago and always block reviews , i am not surprised at all , blizzard is just being itself

Yeah the star scale works too, nevertheless it still provides the possibility of a terrible rating and review bombing. There really isnt any way of solving a problem like this without removing rating completely and only provide a thumbs up and remove the down vote like youtube did, but then again this would not be a rating at all then

And the removal of ratings makes things easier to exploit from the company/uploaders side.

:+1: yup there really is no good solution to the problem

Sorry for not replying sooner but feel free to use keywords and search for yourself, literally in every Metacritic post there were people saying such things as “Tank it” and “Let’s lower the score to 1.3” or " Everyone make an account and f***ing blast it towards 1.0. We can do it. WITH OUR POWERS COMBINED!!"

This is the definition of review bombing /shrug
