I think a neutral review is completely worthless to me if I am interested in a game.

"do you recommend it?"

"meh"

Isnt helpful.

Hello there,
Like many others, I would appreciate it if game reviews could also be rated "neutral" instead of just "positive" or "negative." Especially with newer games like BF6, many people write, "I would say neutral, but I can only give negative or positive," and these ratings are often negative and distort the results, in my opinion.

What do you think?

You're never being asked to give a positive or negative rating. You are asked a simple question. Do you recommend the game? It's a yes or no answer. If you can't emphatically answer yes, then your answer is no.

It's not a distortion. It's simply the truth m8. At the end of the day they could not honestly recommend the game so the only honest answer is no. If they were actually neutral...they wouldn't be writing a review.

If you are not saying yes to a yes or no answer, then you are saying no.

A shrugging of the shoulders does not help people looking to buy something.

If you want to make informative reviews, start a curator group.

I'd rather see if someone likes or dislikes the game, and then decide if their reasoning applies to my interests. Neutral doesn't help me. If your opinion is neutral, then it's best not to write a review.

What happens in America if you say, you are neither a republican nor a democrat but neutral regarding politics?

Everybody calls you a F***** P**** who is to much of a coward to stand his ground.

There will be no "neutral" option and if there was, much fewer people than you think would use it.

Thank goodness I don't live in America :D It's not my fault that there are only two parties. Or rather, there are more parties, but because of this really weird electoral system, all the other parties practically have no chance xD

Bad example. There are other political leanings that exist outside the two party system. But thats about identity. Not experience.

You both know exactly what was meant by that example and yes it does apply here.

Steam is not asking you to write a games journo worthy review, you're not going up on IGN. They ask you a basic yes or no. 'Would you recommend this game to others?'

"Iunno, maybe?" Does not answer that question. And before someone trots it out, no your single review doesn't mean ♥♥♥♥ to the average game. Deflate your ego if you honestly think that you leaving a personal, 'I don't like this', on a game will ruin it or actually affect it noticeably at all.

Keep your political BS in Off Topic.
This thread has NOTHING to do with politics.

Read the thousands of other threads suggesting this and the replies explaining why it's a terrible idea.

You know you don't HAVE to rate games or software .... that's neutral enough for me

You are asked a question: Would you recommend this game to other players and the answer is either yes or no. In the text box you explain why.

Neutral is a shrug of the shoulders and defaults to no.

I see better reviews here than on IGN honestly
And yeah/ IO think its more that people are affraid of getting backlash if they voice the 'wrong' opinion.
