Lost Ark Review Padding

[Shepherd]

This is a HUGE problem and needs to be stopped now. Lost Ark has been allowed to post nothing but positive reviews on their game for months before it even released, and now that I am LITERALLY playing the game I can't leave a review.

Long story short, I don't like the game and want to leave a negative review, but can't Yet Steam is allowing Amazon to pad the reviews for the game, misleading the consumer.

This should never happen again.

Early Access reviews are allowed and will have a filter to separate them once the game is fully released on the 11th and new reviews are written.
There is nothing misleading or "padding" going on.

That's good to know, but I disagree. This is a very misleading practice and should never happen again. No reviews until the game is launched. Nobody should be able to leave a review earlier than someone else.

If you were part of the Early Access, you would also want to review it, wouldn't you?
You can disagree all you want to but there is nothing wrong with it.

That makes no sense. Sorry.
But as soon as games go into Early Access, they can be reviewed.

It's very bizarre to ever complain about this.
It's a practice that helps people know when Early Access games are abandoned.

There's 1.8k Positive reviews and literally only 76 negative, even if your right mate I dont ever recall any game having 1.8k positive to only 76 negative without someone banishing the negative ones off their reviews to indeed pad it, and I dont even play the game but thats scetcy as hell

You're free to have your opinion, but there absolutely is something wrong with it. I've been on Steam for a very long time and I've never seen this before. This is scummy at best.

The reviews really made me think I was going to play something special, and it was absolutely terrible. Felt like I was being gaslit lol.

Why are you claiming something that is literally impossible?

EARLY ACCESS GAMES Have always had people been able to review them in Early Access.
wHy are you trying to make it harder for people to determine if Early Access games are good or not?

REVIEWS are a good thing.

What error are you getting when you try to post a review?

It kinda seems like your complaint is because you can't post a review (for some unstated reason) that no one else should be able to.

Currently all the reviews are marked as pre-release. They're not all positive. Your conspiracy claims are unsubstantiated. And there's not enough reviews to save the game from being crucified if a majority agrees with you on release.

So what's really the problem? I don't see a huge problem, just a reactionary response that may not be warranted.

Not controlled reviews. GO LOOK at these reviews in question. The feedback in these reviews is absolutely paid for. This game is complete junk.

You apparently never saw an Early Access review in all your years on Steam. It isn't anyone's fault you had blinders on all these years.

Thats not the issue, the issue at hand is the game developers removing anything negative in reviews to the game as I showed above.

Only Early Access players can write an Early Access review for Lost Ark before it is fully released on the 11th. He is not an Early Access player.

THat literally can't even happen.
Not sure why you would claim it.

Also, I don't see why anyone can get upset at a game getting good reviews.
Makes no sense.

No, you can't leave a review until full launch.
