Have you ever ever puzzled 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 planet of written person critiques and is planning on bringing them to the PlayStation Retailer.
This was initially dropped at my consideration by cusman78 on Reddit who bought an Electronic mail invite from Sony asking them in the event that they’d like to put in writing a person evaluation for Helldivers 2. The picture beneath was taken from the web page they have 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 person by the title of chalky_83 said they bought an Electronic mail asking them to evaluation Closing Fantasy 7 Rebirth, however couldn’t as a result of they personal it on disc relatively than digitally. Darkblade887 replied that they have been in the identical boat with Resident Evil 4.
It appears solely individuals who personal the video games digitally will be capable of go away critiques. That is presumably in order that solely individuals who truly personal the sport can evaluation it, not like Metacritic the place folks can evaluation video games and flicks they’ve by no means performed or seen.
Folks additionally appear to be indicating that they’ll see critiques written by different folks when visiting the web page through the Electronic mail invite. Nonetheless, going to the shop web page usually doesn’t show the critiques.
In the mean time it’s unclear what methodology Sony is utilizing to pick out contributors. It could possibly be random, or it could possibly be primarily based on one thing like time performed or Trophies collected. What does appear clear is that that is some type of restricted take a look at, however Sony clearly isn’t apprehensive concerning the information spreading as there doesn’t look like any type of Non-Disclosure Settlement.
Personally, I believe this could possibly 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, person critiques might be very helpful, though they do have some main downsides as effectively, like folks leaving damaging or optimistic critiques for issues that don’t have anything to do with the sport.
What do you assume? Are person critiques helpful, or do you discover that you simply wind up having to dredge via a whole lot of crap to search out one thing useful?
