The popularity of From Software’s Elden Ring has made many players immersed in the open world created by Miyazaki Hidetaka, forgetting food and sleep. However, there is a good side to things, and naturally, there is a bad side as well. Reddit user OkPiccolo2678 found that there are still many users who are bad review bombing of the game on the M station, which is suspected of maliciously brushing bad reviews.
At the beginning of the game’s release, there were indeed many problems with Elden Ring, which also made many players question the quality of the game. The user evaluation on the M station was not high, and it was only “mostly favorable” on the Steam store page at first.
However, with the patch repair and update of the game, and the fact that the game itself does not have any serious flaws, the reputation of the game has also heated up rapidly, and it has come to “especially praised (85%)”.
OkPiccolo2678 found that users who wrote negative reviews on station M are very suspicious. They seem to be the same group of people who have posted negative reviews on different platforms; secondly, these users who write negative reviews usually only leave two or three simple words. To corroborate their ratings (rarely mention a little, just mocking the game as “tattered” and not worth playing); third, most of these users who give bad reviews are new accounts, and Elden Ring is their first game or one to review.
On the Reddit forum, many people agreed with OkPiccolo2678’s opinion that despite the game’s performance issues after its release, the quality of the game is hard enough that it is still called “Victory of From Software’s craftsmanship” by many players.
According to reports, many Reddit users believe that these negative reviews may be the work of fans of “Horizon: Forbidden West. Previously, the developers of “Extreme in the West” also complained about the poor design of the map of Elden Ring on personal social platforms.
Users may feel that their fans agree with their views and put them into action. Some people think that these malicious users who write bad reviews are the organized actions of a small group of people, but after all, this is only the speculation of netizens, and players still have to treat it rationally.
