Minimum playtime of 5 hours so you can form an opinion

[Larmoth]

It just that, if you played less you dont have any idea how this game plays or works.
Other should not decide if it is good or bad or meh but at least you can just ignore those that just spread fake stuff.

* Minimum playtime of 5 hours so you can't refund.

Really amazing game tbh. Almost 30 hours here. You can see that all people deniying the game is good do not have it on steam lol.

¨Played 14H in 2 sessions and loved it, but no way I can comment the game as a whole.

EDIT:
For the deeply different combats, it's only after like 8H I started quote they was like special single character combat that can be very good, before I thought it was too complex controls for me (play warrior) and it will never be more than ok good, opinion started change after about 8H.

trying to gatekeep having an opinion? lol

No, Bioware should release a demo.

It definitely doesn't take 5 hours to see how bad it is. The dialogue is super cringe from the get go. It feels like Guardians of the Galaxy at home.

Yeah it is getting better and better by the hour for now. Still early in but nicely done.

That's a valid point.
But overall - nope, an Opinion is something everyone can have. But a "review" should be only be possible after several hours of Gameplay or at least all other reviews should be flagged accordingly.
You can review a Game based on initial issues like "game does not run" but most of the time its a personal issue. Like bad specs or drivers not up to date... what ever.

That way reviews are based on own Gameplay experiance. I've watched thousands of hours of Gameplay for Games I never played... but that does not mean that I'm able to review the Gameplay.
It might LOOK cool or not... but how it playes? I do not know.

So - back to Demo-Land would be cool.

Pretty sure it would delete lot more positive than negative reviews in this case.

It has a real problem tho, and that is the technical side - you would take the riht to complain if the product is flat out broken or has heavy technical issues (which is not the case with DAV, mind you).

Plus forcing people to give up their right of refund AND play a game for 5 hours just so they can say they don't like it / it doesn't work? Might just as well forbid reviews altogether.

Deeply irrelevant, Loved play multiple times Starfield but:
- It's a huge disappointment for ton of fans, too heavy blueprint change after chaining clones of one blueprint.
- Starfield has a lot more big problems as procedure generation unable to target gameplay value just tourism value.
- Starfiled is a ton more flawed game.
- Only a tiny minority argued the game is better after 30H, I would never wrote that junk.

And I don't say either you need play DA4 30H to quote his great and good points, lol or it's for someone blinded and watching a let play perhaps. And even if it's less critical than for Starfiled, watch isn't play, particularly for combats, and enter in story, and relations with companions, and character building.

Then why did you review it at 2.7 hrs played?
And no, there are many factors you can base your opinion of the game the moment you start it. From technical standpoint to controls and visual/sound designs, these are just a few things that you base your review in first few moments.

Why waste 5 hours of my life playing a bad game?

Funny, you don't even know it's what Steam does already.

Reviews of refunded (and keys) aren't count in shop steam reviews rate.

Why waste 10H of your time lost in spiting on a game you never played but some 2H superficial play or from watching that isn't playing?

You just don't have the money, it's not a matter of your life time, and money spend is a clear valid argument.

I would argue there's the EA Play option but it is a bit fake because it's only with pro which has a clear too high price for the offering, EA not publishing enough games.
