Here's hoping the 54 reviewers and counting don't spoil things for the rest of us. Seriously, though, why are there 54 reviews, and why were there so many before launch as well? -_-;
Posted May 17, 2011
How can someone rate & review a game they've only seen trailers for? It kinda helps to have played the damn thing...and finishing it only makes a rating & review even more reputable. I mean, hell, I'm a "turn-based combat" guy, you don't see me giving a 1-star rating & poor review to every RPG that doesn't offer turn-based combat (which would be equally as bad as giving 5-stars & a great review to a game I've only seen in trailers).
And gamers complain about professional reviewers being biased...

When were the reviews posted? The Polish CE edition unlocked a day ago, so I guess it's conceivable that some people may have finished the game already. I honestly don't understand why people race through RPGs though. I like to take my time (and also don't generally have more than 2 or 3 hours in any given day to play games). I figure I'll be at least 3 weeks before I finish this one.

I was disappointed that Mr. Gog was allowing people to post reviews of the game here before it was even out. I'm all for freedom of speech, but posting reviews before a game is out, or on other versions is hardly what I think of when I think free speech.

50+ reviews is a lot more than some older GOGs have. If that's the number of reviews the game has when even pirates shouldn't have had enough playtime to properly review it, well, it's pretty much a sea of spam and it may be hard to find actual reviews worth reading in the future.
Not one of these is an actual review. The following individuals could've been more helpful simply by not submitting a review at all, but instead chose to spam the reviews section with unfounded praise, random comments, replies to other reviewers, and complaints. Pretty much everything that doesn't comprise a review.
Perhaps some of you were well-meanining, and thought spamming the page with "Best RPG ever made" and "I bought two copies" was helpful, would boost the review count, and therefore would increase awareness and inform other people that it's a good game they should get. Instead, anybody who visits will find over 50 pointless reviews, which could only have a negative impact (i.e. they could think GOG themselves posted a bunch of fake reviews to promote sales).
Please, submit your jeers to the following members of the Review Hall of Shame! Be sure to blacklist the opinions of anything these individuals have to say should you meet them in the future, as it will probably be useless, unnecessary, and entirely unhelpful:

"The Game only supports 16:9 Resolution. So you'll see black bars on top and bottom of the screen if you use Resolutions like 1280*1024 or other 4:5 / 16:10 Resolutions.

The studios from eastern Europe bring us a new wave of great european games, so much better than US and Japanese games, because european developpers love their games, that's not just a business.

Después vi que podía darles todo mi apoyo comprandolo desde aquí y se que han estado 4 años trabajando en esto, así que dije... read more pues por qué no comprarlo original? :D
Esperando ansiosamente el 17 de mayo :)

They're ALL like this. Go on and pick, which one of these people is a game tester, and who worked on the project? Here's hoping it's none of these people, or GOG help us all..."The Game only supports 16:9 Resolution.

I would agree with you on TW2 but due to the fact a lot of people have played the entire GOG catalogue already there is a wealth of experience to be shared with someone who is purchasing the game for the first time. I appreciate that I knew not to buy Master of Orion 3 without a new wave of dissappointed reviewers having to buy it. I would like to see GOG flex its muscles a little more with rule breakers, though.
