Can we help Clod? Yes!

how does that make a 'user' review system ridiculous?

it's entirely up to users how many stars they want to give, if a user gives 5 then that user feels it deserves it......otherwise it would be called the Force10 review system

Ouch! That stings...but I will take shot at explaining. If you look closely, you will see all 6 5 star reviews are dated yesterday and today, oddly the same time this thread was posted. They are not actually reviewing the game on it's merits, it's basically an attempt to sucker our fellow gamers into buying something under false pretenses. They are just toting the developer party line and throwing fellow simmers under the bus. I guess I will have to give it a 1 star review to give some balance back to this charade.

Here is a review from today that sums things up:


"Beware the newest reviews for this produce claiming all has been fixed by patches. The "next patch" was supposedly in "final testing stages" according to the head dev Luthier well over 6 MONTHS AGO and still isn't released.

These new 5 star reviews are a sham that originated at the 1C forums to bring up the average and trick customers into believing the game is fixed. For proof see the following link..."

I have highlighted in bold a part that is a fiction, this is really just a case of the exact same thing you are claiming but used for malice, I noticed the apparent link to proof is missing too

Ok...I guess you can't be taken seriously then. You think that it's just fiction or a "coincidence" that after this thread appeared, six 5 star reviews showed up at the site. That six people all of the sudden became "5 star happy" with this sim, just after this thread showed up asking people to post positive reviews.

Looks like your blinders are securely bolted on, and all sense of reality is gone.

No it's not surprising that a few people acted on the advice of the OP, the fiction part is what I highlighted and the claim to a link for proof.

What's with all the drama queen accusations of blinkers and reality all about?

That was my review. Link was to this thread but they are apparently deleted when reviews are submitted.

Did it to offset the half a dozen or so "5 star omg best game evar" reviews that popped up.

Don't review based on what you want/hope/think it will be a year from now.

Review based on what the game IS, or hold off till it's a legit 5 star...

MG fanboys said when the game released "stop crying the game will be amazing a year from now".. etc.

This is a year from release and the game is still fubar.

Can't agree or judge the game simply because I have held off from buying Clod and haven't played it yet after reading about all the issues it has. Waiting to see what the new Patch will be like for forum users before buying into Clod.

Have recently returned by loading up 1946 for some fighter action. It's still a worthwhile fly. Will be looking into a new Graphic Card purchase too. Hope the new Patch is going to settle some accounts.

I'm still not sure why anybody needed to bother offseting any of the 5 star reviews, it's not like there was a majority of them.
So do guys like you think the best way to get this sim moving along is to damage sales so the company goes under and everybody is left with an unfinished game and no future development?

Because the game is in 1 star condition.

I held off a year from making that review hoping the game would be fixed. At some point enough is enough.

If you want to make bogus reviews about how fine and polished the game is go ahead.

I'm sure Luthier loves that you are so happy to wait indefinitely. I on the other hand want the patch that he claimed was in "the final stages of testing" 6 months ago.

Nothing new in 6 months except the old standard "new bug, need more time, here's some 3d models of upcoming expansion".
