![]() ![]() This type of polarized position is, however, typically normal: the proportion between extremely negative reviews and positive or mixed reviews is not, just as the reaction of the specialized press is not.Īs already said, it is not strange to see the phenomenon of review bombing even in titles with great visibility: recently Doom Eternal has undergone a strong wave of negative reviews due to the inclusion of an anti-cheat system deemed too intrusive on users' PCs, with the result of a corrective patch that used a different system Animal Crossing: New Horizon, Astral Chain, Death Stranding, any title seems to be subject to review bombing in some form for some reason. It goes from 10 of those who "It is a Naughty Dog product so it must be bought blindly" to 0 of those who "Unacceptable", in a continuous blow and response of monothematic phrases that extreme without actually saying anything. The "absolute" reviews are not new for the world of entertainment, not even the most loved and appreciated video games by users are exempt from numerous unjustified and misplaced 0 or 10, yet the vote split between reviewers and users has never been so large for a title so in the spotlight: thousands of negative votes afflict The Last of Us Part 2 with an overwhelming majority on the positive ones, with many on both sides without a real justification for the vote assigned. ![]() ![]() Bomb Reviewįor the uninitiated (or for those who need a review) the review bomb is a phenomenon typically associated with the network in which a product, mainly entertainment, is "bombarded" with reviews from the extreme evaluation by a large group of users in order to place the emphasis and visibility on some aspects of a production or product.Įxtremely positive ratings, for example, may end up being given to smaller productions to give them visibility or praise customer-friendly conduct, just as extremely negative ratings can be given in large quantities to contest practices or content perceived negatively by the community. ![]() The recent official release of The Last of Us Part 2 has abruptly moved the waters of the web in the face of an unusual form of review bombing which has led (at the moment) on metacritic to a user score of 3.6 based on 37.941 user reviews against 95 by metascore based on 94 reviews.Īnd already in this way we would find ourselves faced with something strongly anomalous and practically unprecedented, but to increase the dose is the debate, or rather its lack, which was born around what happened, the approach to it and, in In general, the way in which the criticisms (positive and negative) are being treated leading to unnecessary destructive frictions that lead to the benefit of anyone and which creates a generally negative climate in the gaming sector. ![]()
