This is a heads up on a growing trend which is only set to get bigger if something is not said about it now. As of yesterday, you will no longer be allowed to post identical user reviews across different platforms for the same game. This will apply to already existing identical user reviews as well. To explain what I'm talking about, take
Broken Sword: The Sleeping Dragon, a recent multi-platform game. It was released for the
XBOX,
PC and
PS2. Now take our fictional member,
Trenton_Banks53. If
Trenton writes a user review for this game, he can only write one for the copy of the game that he owns. So, if he bought
Broken Sword: TSD for the PC, he could only write a user review for the PC version and would not be allowed to post the same user review in the
PS2 and
XBOX forums. If a Member says they have a copy of the game for two or more platforms, they must write unique user reviews in relation to each platform. This does NOT give them permission to post identical user reviews.
Why? Well, despite the games being very similar across all 3 platforms, many things differ such as the amount of onscreen action, the loading times, the graphics, what settings you can change/alter, the controls and sometimes the game content can differ as well, with extra levels for some versions that others wouldn't get. If a member such as
Trenton posts his PC user review in the PS2 forum, it might not necessarily apply there because the game could have more levels, problems in the PC version which caused
Trenton to review it badly might have been fixed in the PS2 version and loading times could have been present in the PS2 version whereas there might have been none in the PC version.
If you come across a Profile containing identical user reviews across multiple platforms for a game, report them all with "Identical User Reviews Across Multiple Platforms" as your reason for reporting and moderators will then remove them.
I've tried my best to explain this but if things are still confusing, ask your questions here or [
NeoPM ] me.
