Why do people feel the need to do this?

 

The guy named "Sony Prophet" has also commented on others: 'Could possibly be the worst launch title of all time. Microsoft needs to learn from Sony and release quality games.'

Yeah it was also sent in as a news tip, but I checked all 5 pages and none were verified customers. I'm not surprised this is happening after the genuine reports from last week, but Amazon should make it easier to filter reviews to verified only.

It happens both ways, one side can't be painted as saints and the other the fanboys. Amazon reviews are silly unless you pay attention to verified purchases, but even then apparently if you buy something, then cancel your order you can still do a review?

Seriously >.>

Yes, but there's a difference between expressing a valid opinion when you've actually purchased the thing and trolling.  A majority of the negative PS4 reviews were from verified buyers, and at the moment anyway not a single one in the X1 reviews are verified...  suspect at best.  It's not reasonable when it's purely posted to bash "the opposition" and unlikely based on any actual experience with the unit.

Seems like ps4 fanboys are butthurt cause ps4 (and its games) received lower review scores....

 

The worst part is that they're so obvious about.  If you click on the 1 star reviewers profiles, most of them rated the PS4 a 5 star just a little while ago lol.  It's sad to see people behave this way over a entertainment device.  I like my brands of choice, and I'll even defend them (to a point) as to why they make a compelling purchase for people- but I never insist they are the only choice, or actively go out of my way to slander and denigrate other brands.  These guys act like it's their religion or at least as if they're getting paid.  It's really sad that they do all that for free lol.

Why do Amazon allow reviews from people who don't buy their product from Amazon? It's annoying. It's almost as bad as allowing reviews for products before they're released, but I think they've stopped allowing that, or are at least clamping down on it.

Amazon reviews are screwed beyond recognition anyway.

 

I was looking to grab an emergency battery charger for my phone. Checked one out - loads of 5* reviews. Started reading through them, 90% said something like "Anker provided this unit to me free of charge to review honestly".

While I think fanboys are rather annoying, I am intrigued by the psychology behind it.

Pathetic. It was going on with the PS4 reviews too, although not to quite the same extent.

 

Why do Amazon allow reviews from people who don't buy their product from Amazon?

I've always wondered why they allow it too. Just opens it up for abuse like this.

I don't care about reviews...

 

All I do is buy a product and check it out... if something is wrong, I can take it back for exchange or refund. If they don't have return policy, then I wouldn't buy it.

 

Simple.

 

The reviews sometimes are full of trolls. They are looking for something to do... Like 'Oh, let's go to Amazon and post a bad review on it, heheheh.'

1.0 out of 5 stars Radioactive., November 22, 2013
This review is from: Xbox One Console - Day One Edition (Video Game)

Xbox One has made me sick, I think the radiation from the kinect camera has burned a hole through my brain as it scanned my vital statistics.

Buyer beware, I now have to go to hospital to get a diagnosis.

really?? wtf is wrong with people

      This is a none story - these low volume Chinese models will always get new experimental features first because Apple and Samsung can't produce them in huge volume to meet demand.
    • Nvidia GeForce NOW gains support for Dark Scrolls, Empulse, and more

      By LoneWolfSL · Posted

      Nvidia GeForce NOW gains support for Dark Scrolls, Empulse, and more by Pulasthi Ariyasinghe The final update of June for Nvidia's cloud gaming service GeForce NOW is now available, and it is touting support for six more games. The company is also drawing subscriber attention towards the summer sales kicking off across stores, so they can stock up on more cloud-supported titles. Of course, the Steam Summer Sale is the biggest promotion, which is kicking off later today. "Supported Steam games can be streamed across devices with GeForce NOW, making it easy to buy a game once, keep progress synced and pick up where the gameplay left off on PCs, Macs, handheld devices, phones, TVs and more," says the company. "In other words, the Steam Summer Sale brings the deals; GeForce NOW adds the flexibility." Don't forget that the GeForce NOW summer sale is still active as well. This limited-time offer drops the 12-month Performance membership from $99.99 to $64.99, saving members $35. At the same time, the 12-month Ultimate membership is currently going for $129.99, dropping the price by $70 from the original $199.99. Here are the games joining GeForce NOW's supported list this week: Dark Scrolls (New release on Steam, available June 22) SAND: Raiders of Sophie (New release on Steam, available June 22) Deer & Boy (New release on Steam, available June 23) EMPULSE (New release on Steam, available June 24) The Adventures of Elliot: The Millennium Tales (Steam) FATAL FURY: City of the Wolves (Steam) With the June expansions coming to an end, Nvidia should be announcing its July GeForce NOW plans next week. Keep in mind that, unlike subscription services like Game Pass or EA Play, a copy of a game must be owned by the GeForce NOW member (or at least have a license via PC Game Pass) to start playing via Nvidia's cloud servers. There is also a limit to how many hours subscribers can use the service per month.
