Why would I ever care about the steam reviews section?

what game?

Furi.

Get rid of it completely.

this is literally the only way
there are useful reviews on steam but its one in about 10.000
acceptable losses

Start requiring real info to sign into Steam. Anyone trying too hard to be funny will be doxxed.

steam already needs your visa and your phonenumber, thats quite enough

Anime steam avatar should be instant disregard anyway, he probably browses and shitposts on Sup Forums too so that's another way to filter these kinds of people out. reason

Tell people when they're writing their le funny reviews to tag them accordingly and allow their reddit reviews to be tagged by the community and filtered completely. Anyone who doesn't abide by the rules is banned from making more reviews in the future.

Why do you guys care if there are useless reviews?

the system is broken beyond repair and 2000 teenages screaming THIS GAEM SUXX with 0.6 hours played can kill games before they get a chance

How does that kill the game? Does it get taken out from the front page or something? I haven't seen a case of something being spammed with negative reviews yet.

Have a character minimum to stop epic one liner jokes and detect greentext stories as spam

>I haven't seen a case of something being spammed with negative reviews yet.
how the fuck have you managed that?

I've only seen that happen to early access games, in which case it's well deserved

Only things I've seen with mixed reviews were shitty early access games, and the "recent" part fixes that unless some gamebreaking patch gets released.

I see tons of stupid negative reviews but while there are like 60 negative reviews, there are 600 positive ones, even if they are useless memes.

faggot with epic witty quirky 1 liner in steam reviews detected

Depression Quest.

That surprisingly tells me everything I need to know about the game.

Make it so a person has to either complete the game or play it for at least 2 hours

As a user of le Reddit I see nothing wrong with this review and consider all of your posts down boated

Who fucking cares if people make those reviews? It's not disturbing the existence of the game.

This is a good idea though.

Curation
Self moderation.
Neither of these will happen.

Too reasonable, GTFO

remove memers/12 yos from the internet

force a minimum amount of words

I don't care about the review system the biggest problem is the steam community.

"Recommended" and "not recommended" determine a game's overall score and it's all that matters. The body text is just an extra and reviewers can post funny/wack shit for all I care.

You must have a sad fucking life if you feel obligated to read these "reviews".

I'd put in a third option as an in-between for recommended/not recommended, so those who only recommend games under certain circumstances can do so. Do something to either properly segregate the "funny" reviews from those that actually make an effort or stamp them out as much as possible, such as actually enforcing the proper tagging of shitty quip reviews under threat of having their reviewing privileges revoked or doing what Miiverse does and puts something on reviews of those who had bought and played the game for a certain amount of time (lets be honest, 99.9% of the people who play for very little time aren't going to write anything of worth).

It won't happen as Valve are lazy shits who put in minimal effort, but there would only be good from allowing reviews with actual effort to be front and center than quirky quips and Sup Forums greentext

They deliberately keep it dumbed down, there will never be a third option in the foreseeable future. Like how Youtube ditched the stars in favor of thumbs up/down.

If you're on the fence, post a recommended review for games with low ratings, and not recommended for high.

>puts something on reviews of those who had bought and played the game for a certain amount of time (lets be honest, 99.9% of the people who play for very little time aren't going to write anything of worth).

People will just say "I played it 600 hours on console" at the end of their review for a game they played 0.0000001 hours on Steam. Like they are doing now.

>meme answer
>9/10 would meme again
>5002 out of 5014 people found this review helpful

Depending on the game, it might actually be the best description of it

Those are always reviewer's lackeys who upboat an entry, so it goes so high compared to the rest. They're fairly well organized, I've seen it happen before and I doubt there will be any chances of stopping it anytime soon.
