Looks like Valve is introducing a new review system to filter out "unhelpful" reviews (www.eurogamer.net)

I wish they would also let us filter out unuseful guides.

PROS

  • I can write a list
  • It will be a few lines
  • I can fluff it up a bit
  • Keep going
  • Almost there
  • It's an okay game

CONS

  • I'll write 200 of these
  • Most will be nitpicky
  • I still played over 1000 hours
  • I clearly have never written a line of code yet somehow know how they could have done it better
  • I should be paid as a game journalist

3/10

at least these reviews are more informative about a game than the "just leaving this cat here" for thr billionth time

Eh. I mark people complaining about core elements of the genre or similar stuff that's a clear valid design choice as "not helpful" if it's whiney enough sometimes, but at least they're talking about the actual game.
