This is a problem with any site that relies on user reviews
[quote name="Arbit"][quote name="fabio"][quote name="skip"]You also can't sort reviews by rating so finding people who disliked a game for whatever reason becomes harder.[/quote] You just sort by most helpful then start from the last page. They always vote down the negative reviews.[/quote] The concept depends on the reviewers being objective, which instantly results in failure. Doubly so for GOG, because the only people that still care or think about these games are going to be enthusiasts in love with the concept of old games and/or people looking to post hoc justify spending their entire adolescence indoors. Sorting by stars would be best, because you filter out the 95% of the people that give 5 stars for a product merely functioning, and the people that give 1 star because they tried to shove the product up their ass and are pissed because they had to have a doctor extract shards of plastic from their colon. The 2-4 star reviews are generally where the good info is.[/quote]
