I read them for laughs, and sometimes for nothing more than a general consensus. Sometimes there's a good review up there or two that I read, like some ones I've seen from people like Big Albie, but other than that, it's for laughs.
Fixed that for you Don't expect devs to read forums either though - if you find a bug or have a feature request your best bet is to contact the developer. Those support links in iTunes aren't just for show!
Yeah, but you can kinda sift through them here. On the App Store, you'd end up just sifting through every review.
LOL! Oh yeah, I totally forgot that. I have to add in this one really REALLY funny one I saw on Skater Nation Lite: The person reviewing was named Ooga 2000: Title: Rating This should not be rated 4 and up When my husband got this game, I had to cover my six year old son's pupils! LOL!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! That's one of the many hilarious reviews I've read. But that's by far my favorite.
I honestly don't read the reviews. They're always craptastic. One of the one's that strike me strange are the epic paragraphs that break it down into multiple levels. They're rare, but really? "Minigore: An Analytical Essay John Gore. Who is this man, that dives into reckless violence with furry creatures? What elusive childhood event has caused him to enter this frenzy of psychotic madness? Perhaps schizophrenia could be the reason, severe depression and a mental breakdown, perhaps. The red, raging bull he turns into could mean psychedelic drugs. Was this John an abuser in the past, or still one in the present? Perhaps we shouldn't take this literally, but instead see the furries as the analogy they really are, as they refer to Gore's horrible experience with the clown as a child, and how they propagate throughout his life. Never ending, all-consuming, until he'll eventually have to give in. The multiple other characters in the game could signify the other people he's dragged in. Helpless family members and friends eager to intervene and help John out of his pit of despair, but alas, once they got in, nothing could get them out. Or perhaps they represent the various facets of this bushy-bearded man's personality. The feminine side he was always to afraid to show, fearing that revealing vulnerability could result in being backstabbed again, like when his first and only fiance ran away with the UPS guy as he stood at the altar, rain clouds in the background, foreshadowing the pain and tragedy soon to follow. The bear, the monster within, that his soul constantly battles with, but is becoming more and more filled with disdain, sorrow, and defeat. I do not know what to think of this game. I do, however, think the controls suck. 1-star."
Just saw this one.... Governor of shmoker by Dofenshmirtz This game is pretty good I like it it's like cheese on a pastrami sandwich with ketchup French fries and also kibeh and lachmajeen superb. אני תיפש ו׳ אוהב דודי
Some quality reviews by our good buddy Kijib http://itunes.apple.com/WebObjects/MZStore.woa/wa/viewUsersUserReviews?userProfileId=43873585
You guys say you don't read reviews and that you'd rather use the forums to judge/discuss the demand and quality of the game. I can't tell you how many times I caved in and purchased a game thanks to the hype of ~30 pages of positive remarks and the game was terrible. Way too many ~10 year olds on this forum make these games out to be way more than they are sometimes.
Kijib's reviews are exactly the type I hate. Whiny update reviews. Every single damned review is either "CMON make SOME MOR LVLS it gets BORIIING YOU SAID U WOULD UPDTE THEM CMON!!!!!!!!! DONT LIE!!!!!!!!!!!!MAKE MORE LEVLES FREE!!!!!!!!!" or "Worst game ever, don't buy it."
i read the reviews on the game sto get some feel back.. i do not listen to the tween crying cause they have to pay for x.. or the guy who wants way more than any developer can pull off. but if i read enough and throw a grain of salt with them i can get a feel for the game.. some honest reviews do pop up.. and ignore the shills.. the shills are easy to see. for a good laugh. i will read the reviews to "touch pets" o man when they realize they have to pay for dog food.. you get some damn funny reviews.. and some broken heart kids when there pup has to die. laughs about the only game i will go to read the new reviews for once or twice a month for a laugh. chris.
This type annoys me the most. I wish I could track down the reviewer and personally smack them in the face. I wouldn't say anything either. I'd just leave behind a printout of giant emoticon of an angry face because people who can't use words don't deserve them.
LOL! Yeah, I'm with you on that one. Especially the ones that just put the pile of crap emoticon. It made me laugh the first time but then everyone started putting the same thing on their reviews and I got sick of it.
Wow, all it is is a bunch of 1 star reviews and a 2 star review, they should just permanently delete all his reviews and get rid of his right to review at all, for some reason, he doesn't even review the apps he DOES like, if he likes any apps at all.
Man after reading through these...well...um...uhh...hell I'm at a loss of words. Rant much? I have to admit, those are funny as hell. He obviously hates DLC too.
