Amazon Removing Negative Reviews for Spore

GameViper Writes: "For the last couple of days we've seen thousands of users back lashing against EA on Amazon for their restrictive DRM which limits the game to only 3 installs. Today, Amazon deleted the most viewed negative review against Spore.

"It had 3000 out of 3300 helpful votes, was the overall most helpful review on the Spore product page, and was quoted on several news articles reporting this anti-DRM protest.And just a few minutes ago, for some weird reason, Amazon decided to remove my review." says Ericha Remarque."

PC gaming is killing itself.

How can you be mad at what he just said? It is 100% correct. It is killing itself.

Pebz6469d ago

I think it would be more correct to say PC gaming is being killed.

By things like DRM, which might temporarily slow down pirating, but always causes a lot of hassle for everyone else as well. Stuff like games for vista doesn't help much either.

Jodou6469d ago

Hmm, either he's lying or they put the review back because it's still there.

It looks like they put it back after all of the complaints:

Well Amazon is a business who want to sell this game in huge numbers, what do people expect?

TheIneffableBob6469d ago

Well, I wouldn't exactly call these legitimate reviews. They're basically bashing the DRM on the product and not reviewing the actual product.

ruiner44826468d ago

Well DRM is a part of the product, so it deserves to be scrutinized.

jay26469d ago

Good Amazon, for a game that gets it wrong on so many levels it diserves everything it gets, I love it at first, now I'm on the space stay and lost compleate intrest in it.

The 10 Weirdest Video Games You Can Play Today

From Xfire: "Anyone who's played video games for a couple of years has stuck around long enough to stumble across a few weird ones. Some are even quite popular, which is all the more reason why you'll wonder what made the developers think about making such a game and why people are loving it, despite its weirdness anyway. Not all weird video games are head-scratches. Some are actually quite good."

The stick of truth is a must have for any South Park fans. I spent a good afternoon on Goat simulator, a rare real open world. I planned to try hatoful boyfriend since it was free on Ps Plus. Disco Elysium is on my radar since the final cut came out; as soon as there is a discount, i will take it. Like movies, i like weird games too :)

The 10 Best Video Games With Cut Content

From Xfire: "The four-hour director's cut known as Zack Snyder's Justice League has led to the discussion of movies in the past that might have fared a whole lot better had they been released to be more in line with the original vision of their creators. But, as it turns out, cut content doesn't just happen in movies. In fact, the act of cutting content before the release date happens arguably just as often in video games as it does in cinema."

I can't believe they cut stuff from Skyrim. At release, it was a barebones game with a slight improvement in graphics.

-Foxtrot1848d ago

"Now, before we proceed, we'd like to say that Metal Gear Solid V: The Phantom Pain is one of the best video games ever made. It's not just a fine piece of gaming. It's one of the finest there is"

Really?

MGSV is easily the worst main line MGS game and not just because of cut story content, the open world is bare bones and there's hardly anything to do. It's repetitive, samey and is just lifeless. I appreciate the stealth mechanics, the animations and the way you can go with combat but it's not enough to keep me engaged the full way through.

Kojima should have done a twist and make the main chunk of the game a Metal Gear & Metal Gear 2 remake to bring the story full circle.

lsujester1848d ago (Edited 1848d ago )

Story issues aside, V has amazing gameplay. I'm not sure what you're wanting out of the world in terms of "things to do", it's all the great gameplay the series has always had. Useless filler that other open worlds have like collecting flags and petting horses would have added nothing to that game.

JRMVN1841d ago

THE TRUTH! I don't even know how that game gets praised. The previous ones were so much better.
