BreOl72: Instead of writing and posting your review on the game's store page,
why not write and post it as a "review-thread" in the game's subforum? That way, you are
not hindered by a character limit, and
you can later edit your review.
You can even add some screenshots, if you want.
kenadrian: Huh, this is actually a pretty great idea.
kenadrian: But too much of these review threads could definitely clog up a subforum, especially if the game is popular.
I don't know what the average number of reviews for the most popular games is
(and I doubt everyone, who is willing to write a review, will go this way), but I agree: that may indeed become a problem.
(Though: many subforums already have a high count of "zero-reply" threads) However:
this problem could easily be circumvented, by simply opening a dedicated "Review-Thread" under each game's subforum, in which everyone posts his/her individual review to the game.
The benefits of this solution would still be the same, and an added bonus
(for those interested) would be, that well and extensively written reviews have a chance of getting "upvoted"
(= receiving rep-points).
One thing that would become a little harder with this "one-thread-for-all-reviews" solution: finding one's own review again.
But even that issue could be
relatively easy solved
(and would then still be better than the way it is now with the dedicated reviews under each game's store page): by simply copying and saving the link to one's review in a spreadsheet.
That way, if you want to find your review inside the "Review-Thread" again: simply copy the link to it in your browser, et voila: your review.
