Have you ever ever questioned what Dave from midway internationally thinks about Helldivers 2? Nicely, now you’ll be able to know precisely how he feels concerning the newest weapon nerf! It appears to be like like Sony is dabbling on the earth of written consumer opinions and is planning on bringing them to the PlayStation Retailer.
This was initially delivered to my consideration by cusman78 on Reddit who received an E-mail invite from Sony asking them in the event that they’d like to put in writing a consumer evaluation for Helldivers 2. The picture beneath was taken from the web page they had been despatched to, the place there’s additionally an choice to flag the evaluation as containing spoilers.
Different customers chimed in to help cusman78’s claims. One consumer by the title of chalky_83 said they received an E-mail asking them to evaluation Remaining Fantasy 7 Rebirth, however couldn’t as a result of they personal it on disc relatively than digitally. Darkblade887 replied that they had been in the identical boat with Resident Evil 4.
It appears solely individuals who personal the video games digitally will have the ability to depart opinions. That is presumably in order that solely individuals who really personal the sport can evaluation it, not like Metacritic the place individuals can evaluation video games and flicks they’ve by no means performed or seen.
Folks additionally appear to be indicating that they’ll see opinions written by different individuals when visiting the web page by way of the E-mail invite. Nonetheless, going to the shop web page usually doesn’t show the opinions.
In the intervening time it’s unclear what methodology Sony is utilizing to pick out members. It might be random, or it might be based mostly on one thing like time performed or Trophies collected. What does appear clear is that that is some type of restricted check, however Sony clearly isn’t fearful concerning the information spreading as there doesn’t look like any type of Non-Disclosure Settlement.
Personally, I feel this might be addition to the shop. Sony has allowed star scores for some time now, and it is a logical subsequent step. On the Steam retailer, consumer opinions might be very helpful, though they do have some main downsides as properly, like individuals leaving damaging or optimistic opinions for issues that don’t have anything to do with the sport.
What do you suppose? Are consumer opinions helpful, or do you discover that you just wind up having to dredge by way of plenty of crap to seek out one thing useful?
