Amazon.com Reader Reviews

[Narcolepsy]

It is this kind of thing that makes you wonder how mankind has not simply committed suicide out of sheer idiocy. Just look at the Reader Reviews on Amazon.com! We have
1.)1 star, conspiracy theory, it will never come out review
2.)1 star, I can't figure out how to buy off of Steam
3.)1 star, this game is dated and old
4.)1 star, OMGLOLFWTF!!11 review
5.)1 star, you shouldn't review it if you haven't played it, review

The average rating is now 4 stars. Why, mankind? Why?

Amazon shouldn't allow reader reviews until the game is out....

Do people even use the Amazon reader reviews as legitimate guides when buying? :|

lol. that's hilarious . stop taking that kinda shit so seriously man. if a user gives hl2 1 star before the game comes out, will that make the game any less fun than if that usre gave hl2 a 5 star rating?

I love reader reviews for unreleased games.

I THINK THIS GAME WILL BE REALLY GOOD BUT IT DOESNT GOING TO HAVE AND SKATEBOARDING SO I SATY THAT THIS AND TONY HAWC # WILL BE THE BEST GAMES OF 2004 I GIVE IT A 7/12.

^Most reviewers WISH they could write that well.^

Someone said there were Biozeminades in HL2.

Ok...I won't EVER shop at Amazon again.

I never trust reader reviews or movies reviews anything. I trust my own opinion.

 

[Mujuro]

Not reviews before the game, but ignorant people all together should be ban from...everything, or, how about just life?

Check out this review, it would be funny if someone believed him.

Oh god. Here we go again. The hype of greatness is about to be squashed under the steel heel of Valve.

Don't ANY of you get it? This game is NOT coming out in November, no way, no how. I bet ALL of you it's gonna come out sometime in spring 2005. My reasons? Check it out:
1) Valve is SCARED to release the game, because they know that the modding community could make money out of its "brilliant" creations.
2) The game is SOOO complex that it will take a WHOPPER of a computer to run. Valve's answer? Try and make the engine run on lower-spec computers, thus increasing preproduction time tenfold.
3) One word: Competition. It's taken so long for Valve to get this stuff ready that the engine may look insignificant to upcoming games like Tribes 3 and Halo 2 (You all know it. They have to make a PC version.)

I hope I saved many pre-orderers from months of frustration. Don't buy in yet. Just let Valve take its time...
