"Ill thought"
Yeah sure. It's like people are collectively now unable to read.
Surely Valve wont let this off topic review bombing stand?
"We define an off-topic review bomb as one where the focus of those reviews is on a topic that we consider unrelated to the likelihood that future purchasers will be happy if they buy the game, and hence not something that should be added to the Review Score. "
Reviews seem off topic and unrelated to the quality of the game.

So that's how you gonna reverse the bad mouth of that entry, huh, Ubisoft. All according to keikaku...

People re-evaluating a piece of media because of real world events is a completely valid review.
Its perfectly thought out. Review bombing can be taken out now. And this type of thing is one of the only ways consumers can make themselves heard. It had tangible effect multiple times.
Its a fantastic system. How people still make comments like this is mind numbing
I'm not surprised people still find ways to shit on PC gamers even in feel-good threads like this one.
Damned if you do, damned if you don't.
Thread proves that people will whine about absolutely anything. It's pathetic.
Keep going. Tell us how poorly thought out it is to give customers a voice.
Just wanna point out that to review a game in Steam you need to own it and Ubisoft is giving away uPlay copies of the game (which are not connected to Steam). So there is no connection with the free giveaway from Ubi.
The game is better than at launch and with more powerful hardware, it shouldnt be as... buggy.

Are you that invested into your ecosystem that you feel shat on whenever people are mildly critical about it?
No one's arguing against Ubisoft doing this. I too love it when corporation gives back to support a genuine cause and considering Ubi is french it's kind of a given to see them pour out support for their culture
At the second time...review bombing with bullshit irrelevant to the game is still, believe it or not, kind of bad. It's one thing to use the platform to air out grievances , ironically enough which happened to this very same game, but hey
No, it only shows that you've never bothered using them before. Ignorant people love running their mouths on the internet though, so no surprise.
Combat is not great but the game's world is really stunning. The Ubi artists that made it are like gods in my eyes.
It's a great game post patch. I always feel Unity gets knocked pretty hard because of the launch but it's actually a great AC game
I'm hard pressed to believe that Ubi is very concerned about the reception of a five year old game......
I was just sitting here thinking about how some of you would spin this in a negative way, but you all beat me to it. Christ.
Just when I think these boards can't get any more negative.
I guess this is the thing that really bums me out at the end of the day. Ubisoft doesn't really care either way about this instance. They're doing this because it's part of their culture that needs to be preserved.
Not sure why Valve should keep these reviews considering how irrelevant they are relative to the game, they're merely reactions to positive PR on Ubisoft's part.
My thoughts exactly.
Feelings of Ubisoft "doing the right thing" should be expressed, but not in user reviews. That has nothing to do with the quality of the game itself.
Aside from what the patches fixed, the other big problem was its performance but five years later with better hardware that's not as much of an issue anymore. So, yea it's a better game now than when it initially released.
I think the point is that these reviews do not represent how good the game is, but people's opinion on the behaviour of the developer/publisher. Which is generally the problem with negative review bombs.
The negative view on ERA about user reviews just highlight a shocking truth:
A lot of users never read reviews. Including from profesionnal outlets but only care about the score.
That's the only plausible way to explain why some people are unable to use the review system.

Sounds about right.
Either that or they're all to willing to have their voice taking away.
Fuck getting rid of user reviews.
Maybe you're trying to read too much into my post hard to find pc gamer hate?
