The Xbox One launched today, and, if you look at the Amazon reviews, it seems there are a good deal of people disappointed with their purchase. That is until you look a little bit closer and realize all but one or two of the reviews come from people who didn't actually buy an Xbox One.
Publisher Thunderful Games and developer Image & Form Games have released a “gameplay deep dive” trailer for turn-based RPG sequel SteamWorld Heist II.
SW: Heist was the first game in the series I played actually so I'm very excited to play this.
“April was an indie-heavy month and it was hard to pick the best games but here we go! Hope you have fun and see something you like.” - A.J. Maciejewski from Video Chums.
BLG writes, "Some of the most popular games have had a rough start, with some of them being downright unplayable.
Despite that, developers have managed to turn it around for them and make their game worth playing. Here are some games that had a rough start but were pretty great."
Sea of Thieves... I'm not disagreeing that the game has improved in terms of content. But I feel that the most significant change between now and its release is actually the public perception. Nowadays, most people are aware that the game is a multiplayer PvP-focused experience first and foremost, and not "Black Flag made by Rare". Consequently, people dismissing the whole experience because the single-player aspect is lacking or the story is plain are much less common.
Sad that people would take the time out of their day to do this. It happened on both sides of the camp though (you can see reviews from unverified purchases for both consoles). Pathetic.
I heard that all you have to do is pre order something for it to show up as a "verified review", then you can remove the pre order....is this true?
It's real sad that people are writing reviews for a machine they don't even own
I went through them and pretty much all of the 1-star reviews are from non-verified buyers.
I knew this was going to happen.
This is why "user reviews" are skeptical. Reviews in general are just someone's impression, one persons opinion. If the game looks like it will interest you, either rent it to try it, or buy it. Too many people miss out on good experiences because some online "journalist" didn't prefer the game.
