Otherland has Hundreds of Fake Paid Reviews on Steam

Otherland has hundreds of fake paid reviews on Steam. They're so obviously fake too.

"Paid Reviews on Steam"
NO! Who would have thought? /s
Does Amazon also have fake reviews? I can't believe it. /s

Well... I normally don't read positive reviews. I mostly read negative reviews of games, movies, books, etc, I want to purchase. Those are the ones that normally have valid info and I 'll try to understand what they didn't like about the product in question... then make a decision to purchase it or not.

Dam... now they are going to post fake negative reviews :s

Darkwatchman3103d ago

Yes because there are never blatant trolls and fanboys that give perfectly functioning games a 1/10, right? On either end, positive or negative, there are always going to be untrustworthy reviews.

UserNameIsNotTaken3103d ago

I myself read the mixed ones. Like half the score or slightly better or worse that.

Volkama3103d ago

That would be a dispose of your available joy time. Rather if you have time to smoulder you will post N4G comments approvingly.

DittoHefner3103d ago

Who cares? Decide for yourself.

Should have happened a long time ago. People wanting refunds after 50 hours in game.

Pc gamers will take this as an excuse to pirate things

KyRo4d ago

I'm not sure why you're getting disgrees. Whilst not all PC gamers are petty, an awful lot of them are lol

Crows904d ago

Entirely untrue. Not any more petty than console gamers. The only large difference is console gamers don't have much of a choice.

Michiel19894d ago

Not sure why you're getting agrees. an awful lot of console gamers are overemotional twinks ready to go to war over a plastic box, I'll take being a pc gamer then.

Speaking about overgeneralizing much.

Nooderus3d ago

"X" type of gamer conversations are cringe

qalpha4d ago

Daily reminder that 'TheGamer' is a corporate-generated, anti-gamer, anti-consumer, clickbait web site. They are mostly A.I. generated articles that villainize gamers. They provide nothing positive and actively try to provoke and divide the community through extreme view points and politics. Do not give them any clicks.

Inverno4d ago

Only scumbags? As if people don't play their games on console put in the most amount of hours and return it to GameStop and trade it in for another game. But also how many people are actually do this? And what games have been allowed to be refunded?

DustMan4d ago

You can refund any game you've purchased as long as it hasn't been longer than two weeks, and you've played less than 2 hours. I wish they would change it to 3 hours because some RPG's have so much exposition that you may only get an hour total of complete gameplay. That's my only knock on it. I've refunded plenty of stuff I was just curious to try. I typically stay away from Early Access titles which are the only ones affected by this policy change.

Inverno4d ago

Apparently early access doesn't count, only complete games with a play early preorder bonus.

Gaming4Life19814d ago

I definitely know if I want a refund in 2 hours.

SegaSaturn6694d ago

I never liked refunding anything. Even if a film is bad, i dont want my money back. Sometimes things just aren't for me, and it's not the creator's fault necessarily.

Gaming4Life19814d ago

I feel you and i have never walked out on a bad movie cause I payed my money. I also don't refund games cause I'm a gamer and I know what to buy lol. I think having a digital refund is great.

Why Are Steam's Recommendations Dogpoop?

Blindfolding myself and clicking a Steam page at random would serve me better recommendations than Steam’s algorithm

Hmm, not sure I agree with that. The recommendations I get are usually pretty good, but then again I have pretty large library of games on Steam and hundreds of them in my wish list, along with lots of curators I follow for it to build recommendations off of. On occasion it will throw me a random FIFA game or something I've never bought or shown interest in, but mostly its decent IMO.

Skul is a metroidvania ? It’s on PS+ soon I’ll check it out. If it’s good I’ll buy a copy physically if they have one

Nacho_Z32d ago

If Pseudoregalia is one of the best I'd hate to see what the worst look like.
