Game Bashing On Steam

It's funny, I'm the one posting facts/evidence, y'all are just engaging in fallacious and disingenuous tricks to try to negate that. I never said I can prove Odyssey was review bombed, but I think with the reviews I've posted I think the question is a fair one to explore, but what I would categorically argue isn't the case, which is the one y'all are making, is that it isn't possible. The fact y'all are defending misleading/factually false reviews I think also is interesting to note.
Not impossible, you just have to believe a lot of fringe crap, and ignore the positive reviews that look just as junky as those cherry picked bad reviews, to believe the review score is not representative of the people that reviewed it on steam.
You are walking up a hill dragging a boulder behind you on this one.

This one mentions Star Citizen! My proof is undeniable now!

The facts and evidence you cherry pick and put out of context/in the wrong context to fit your narrative ? Yeah sure.
Cherry picking is taking a weird screenshot of one planet in Odyssey and claiming that it represents the entire planetary tech. Showing evidence to back up a point is not - I'm not making the argument that these reviews represent all of the negative reviews like y'all have fabricated that I am and stubbornly continue to insist even though I've corrected it many times. That would be cherry picking in the way that I illustrated.
That's like my signature dude, not a thread. And there is no statement alongside it, not even the one you say there is. There is literally no words associated to it.
The place is deciat, Farseer Inc settlement, known for engineer Farseer, probably one of the first you unlock. I did it to make a point that specific place look like crap.

Putting words into my mouth. Putting a context being a picture that I never did.


BTW, how ranching works in space ? Where are the space cows ?

Because you claim you are a "space cowboy".

See how dumb it is to pick something out of context and put a fake one behind it ?
When did Occam's Razor become obsolete?
When electric razor became popular.
 
Sure, I fully accept that Odyssey has issues and it was foolish of Frontier to basically go "FPS? We got those!" but the points some of these negative reviews make are really suspect. One of the most recent negative reviews is basically a guy saying he couldn't manage to get Elite set up to launch, and 7 people marked that helpful.
So the one review is representative of the lack of validity of 6300?
 
Gotta love the world today.

Product was poorly received? Obviously review bombing by a mysterious, conspiratorial force.

Product was well received? Clearly evidence of a publisher review padding scheme.

As opposed to people either liked it, or they didn't. Then voiced their opinion accordingly.

Please elaborate on how are they are out of context or that accusation stands as baseless.

It's a cherry picked image, I think it served it's purpose to illustrate my point just fine.

It is irrelevant as to who made it and I'm not sure how I put words in your mouth? It seems you chose it to illustrate something, what is it again? I will stand corrected if I'm mistaken though.

Apples meet oranges. As for space cows, there's plenty of Type 9 & 10s flying around..
 
There are always troll reviews. A review bomb is a concerted effort to lower the score. There is no evidence of this
Tell me what would count as evidence.


, and one post mentioning star citizen is not evidence of such a thing.
If it were only one, I would agree, but there are far more than one, you can't even make that point correctly.

You have provided no evidence of a "review bomb" on Steam. You cherry picked a review to support a conspiracy. The majority of the reviews in your screenshot are perfectly valid and reasonable. These are simply opinions of the game and whether or not they recommend buying it. I can cherry pick a few positive reviews that are somewhat troll like in nature, as well.
How much poop in the punch bowl is enough for you to say it is reasonable stilll to drink?

You have provided no evidence to support your claim, at all. It's cherry picking
You need to say cherry picking more, just to be sure that the label/narrative sticks. ;)

Simple, you pick the downvote trend and build upon it, ignoring the context of the sale and the upward trend.
Now, before you get mad, you mention the sale. But you don't do anything with that fact. And yes, you screenshot show the upward trend, but it's neither mentioned nor used.
It's a cherry picked image, I think it served it's purpose to illustrate my point just fine.
At least we agree on something. I'm sure cherry picking a picture is "fine" to prove a point :D

That's sarcasm. It's not. A representative picture is good, a cheery picked one isn't. Learn the difference, it's important.

I told you already ? Hard of hearing or are your pre-made assumptions too loud for you to listen ?

When confronted by a logic he can refute, the poster will take refuge in saying it's not the same, cutting short any discussion.

We both have a simple picture as signature, with no comment whatsoever. Yes, it's the same thing. Deal with it.

Evidence would be proof that there is a vast conspiracy. You can't make a claim it. You're saying people are getting together in order to negatively review the game and bring the score down. You have to prove that. Show me where they conspired.

There are thousands of negative reviews. Please show me evidence of people working together to achieve that.

You showed one review that could be questionable out of thousands. It wasn't even that questionable. The rest or those were fine. They're negative opinions of the game.

You're coming off pretty hostile Erei, I'm not sure I'm the one who's mad.
 
Don't worry, I'm not part of the conspiracy. I wanted to, but Chris Roberts is not answering my mails.

Ahh, so smoking gun or go home? If only that was the way it worked.

I've already said I don't have any conclusive proof as such, never did say that either, but there is enough circumstantial evidence to beg the question as to the possibility that Odyssey was review-bombed to a lesser or greater degree. Y'all keep arguing with me about how it just couldn't be possible and I will say that there is definitely loose threads that could unravel into something that could show it was. So y'all keep saying it's impossible and that is much more hard to believe. I can hold the thought that it may not have, but not that never could have. It would have to be proven either way and thus far I think I've backed my points far better than y'all have, and answered your rebuttals, despite y'alls attempts to cloud the issue and frankly attack and insult me.

Yes there are. I can't necessarily show you that but there are definitely is a recurring trend of commonalities between a decent amount of them that pertain more to bashing Frontier/Elite and/or promoting Star Citizen. I wouldn't minimize the coordinated effort to tag Odyssey as early access, taken in the greater context of bashing Odyssey, it is another method to achieve a similar result.

You showed one review that could be questionable out of thousands. It wasn't even that questionable. The rest or those were fine. They're negative opinions of the game.
I showed the recent reviews, which was the point of my post, why would you try to obfuscate that? You say only one was problematic, that's a matter of individual opinion and you still haven't answered, that I can see, why you think writing biased reviews based on falsehoods and misinformation is ok.
