About the reviews

[T:Jenks]

Is it just me or do most of the reviews look like paid actors and bots?


Edit: my steam profile's comment section got botted
coincidence?

What makes you think that? Go on express yourself.

"Once again, the Game of the Year – Split Fiction – delivers the wow factor!" Played for 0.1hour

"Best game I've ever played!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
not lags!!!!!!!!!" 0.1h played

"Man there really is no studio like this one" 0.1h played

"10/10 p.2 ♥" 0.2h played

"This game is the best coop game so far" 0.1h played


And so on.

Well I see much different, more thought out reviews. But yeah, those may be blatant bot reviews

Just thought the same and came here to comment. I remember seeing this game at the game awards last year. The dev team behind this game seemed very woke and cringe. Hard to believe these are real reviews.

[󠀡󠀡Ghannon]

The amount of gas lighting going on here is absurd.

Anyone who has played a game for only 1 to 6 minutes yet claims it as Game of the Year should not be seen as authoritative or honest. Such a review carries no more weight than that of one written by someone who doesn’t even own the game.

This happens in all reviews for Steam... Do you have a problem with those games played for that amount of time and are negative? I would guess not, as you didnt include it in your examples... So what is the real reason you have an issue with this game? I mean lets be honest, Steam reviewing process is a total joke and people trying to use it for "some reason" are clearly hiding something else under the guise of that system.

It does not matter if the review is positive or negative, such reviews lack weight, thus they should be disregarded.

You took OP's question as a personal attack, which speaks volumes as to your intellectual capacity, and which direction your moral compass points.

Steam has been idle with bot reviews for a long time

No you assume I took it as a personal attack, even when I said nope.... Which is odd as you just like the OP need to believe I did for whatever comical reason.

I assumed nothing.

You are emotionally invested in discussion, which is evident by the fact that every comment you have made is dismissive of the fact that many of the reviews are paid for.

So I guess your reviews of games that were less then say an hour, means you are a bot then? People post vague reviews for various playtimes.... You have people that have played crazy amount of hours in a game and just review it with a thumbs up. Kind of odd the reviews of this game are being picked on, given the vast non sense that is Steam reviews.

Personaly, I think this game looks great, and have been watching it sense it's anouncment. I plan on asking one of my friends if they want to play it later after work.

One of the first things I noticed when looking at the reviews were how many are from people who recieeved it for free, give shockingly similer review styles that say almost nothing but blind praise, and had low play time. I notice this with games frequently, it's common, and in this case doesn't impact my intrest, but I definently noticed it. One of the first things I do when looking into any new game is read the actual 'review' reciews on the store page, so I noticed it pretty fast.

For some reason, no one has a problem when this is brought up with negative reviews, but when it's the positives doing it, no one bats an eye all of a sudden. Not worth thinking about.

Also, you're not being slick, everyone with eyes can tell you're trying to bait op into saying something controversial. Judging by what else I've read in these forums so far, you're trying to bait him them into saying they don't like playing as a woman or something. You flat out ignoring them what they asked why you're taking it so personal with a "Nope, next question" makes it glaringly obvious.

People can notice these reviews withought it being some sort of conspiracy, and they don't need to justify themselves to you just because they don't mention it on every steam game released under the sun with similer review activity. Stop talking to people with the tone of a disaproving father talking to a child, you aren't that important.

Are you having a bad day?
At this point you're just trying to start and argument.

Just tried to check the reviews and was kinda getting a "sus" feeling.
Came to the threads and saw this thread where OP had the same questions as me.
Saw the triggered response of that guy and was like "yeah right".
He dodge the obvious exposure statement that he takes it personal.
Maybe a hidden profile of a dev or 3rd degree friend of the game.

[Birdd]

It's the same people who rush to youtube videos to comment FIRST

Lol....Well I guess tiny minds, can only have tiny thoughts.

This is an example of emotional behavior, which is on top of the fact that you have only dismissed the evidenced based truth.

The evidence is in the time played. A game that is so good as to be declared worthy of a game of the year award would not have been played for a mere 1 to 6 minutes by the person making the declaration

What evidence? and how is this so called evidence have any factally basis? Again "trust me bro" and I will add "I have a feeling" are not evidence of truth...

Again, the evidence is in the time played. A game that is so good as to be declared worthy of a game of the year award would not have been played for a mere 1 to 6 minutes by the person making the declaration.

My argument would hold up in a civil court lawsuit for false advertisement and business malpractice.

Paying for product reviews without disclosure is illegal. In the US, the FTC requires that paid reviews be clearly disclosed. The UK and EU have similar regulations under consumer protection laws.

Hmm my view is whether it be positive reviews or negative reviews, they should be purged(given certain perimeters). But the proof isnt "trust me bro, its happening" as evidence. I asked a question in my first post in this thread. A whole lot of your post in regards to your view on me, is somewhat comical. and as such will be dismissed. Because I wouldnt even begin to think I know you based on the limited interaction I have had with you, but yet here you are spouting off random non sense regarding me.

Buddy, you're using the same tactics I used on the internet when I was a snobby know it all teenager in the 2000's. It's not slick, and no one is falling for it. I don't need your permission to see the writing on the wall dude. And I certainly don't need you're 'approval' to point it out.

But I'll play by your rules. I don't need to prove anything to 'you' either, nor does anyone else. I will compleatly disregard your holier than thou comment from this point forward. You said that's that, so I guess I'll stop it there. Good day to you.

Then take your argument to civil court.... Please do and let us know with evidence how that works out. I wish you all the best and look forward to those updates on progress.

More divisiveness.

How about this. Explain to me why a paying customer would claim that a game is amazing, the best of the year, but only play it for 1 to 6 minutes.

You can filter out reviews with less than x hours if you want to, it looks about the same.

So which tactics am I using? If asking questions and responding are tactics from the 2000's, then ok.....

You’re too blinded by emotion to realize that your first comment acknowledged paid reviews as a pervasive issue on Steam. Yet, because you are emotional, you keep insisting there’s no evidence that this problem exists with this game.
