[QUOTE="Corone, post: 7784583, member: 6806393"] There's a lot of fair points there, although I would say... :) While I can't be any surer than anyone else, I'm not convinced many places are deleting bad reviews. If there are mainly good reviews I'd offer that it is rare for people to want to trash something compared to those who want to praise it. (at least in terms of people willing to make an effort) :) Personally I tend to only write reviews for games I like as I want to share the word on something awesome. Also I might well run into the people who made the game and I'd rather have either something nice to say or just not say anything :) (there are a lot of very nice people making games that are not that good and vice versa) I do agree about reviews that appear the same as the release day (although some may have gone out early to a reviewer, but not very often) but I also agree you can usually spot the trolls and my answer to both is that the more people that do good reviews the less that will matter. I'd also add for Ramaster - it need not matter how good your writing is. Sure, there are well and badly written reviews. But if you loved a game (or hated it) and you can be at least reasonably articulate about why, I'd love to read your review no matter what length it is. Even one line saying 'I loved this, you should check it out' will usually warm the heart of the most jaded games designer. :) [/QUOTE]
