Multiple creators asked for key codes to gain access to the playtest and are asked to sign a contract.

The contract signs away your right to negatively review the game.

Many streamers have signed without reading just to play Insanity.

Guess we really can't trust anyone else but ourselves when it comes to judging a game's quality.

Thats was always the case for me, I trust my taste and my taste alone when it comes to what games are worth playing and so far it hasn't let me down.

 

[MagiusNecros]

At least they didn't say you can't make an Objective review.

"Some may like this game because it controls this way and other people not so much".

 

[LordCBH]

That’s really scummy and shouldn’t be allowed to be honest.

 

[Portugeezer]

Easy, if someone doesn't make a preview we can assume they didn't like it.

 

[Moneal]

This won't hold up at all. There is no way they will attempt to enforce this because it will make them look worse than any bad review could ever do.

That's right friend.

While the supposed video game analysts at Meristation were not committed to finishing Gollum.

I took the initiative to finish that monstrosity to the end even with bugs... And indeed it was a mediocre game.

But I did it alone and with my perseverance.

 

[Bumblebeetuna]

No one should be trusting the impressions of these personalities who get early access to shit anyway. They’re given preview access for a reason in most cases.

 

[FeralEcho]

"Our game sucks. We know it,you know it, don't let anyone else know it till we make some money off of the fools who preordered."

 

[Magic Carpet]

End review with a /S.

 

[March Climber]

A few streamers have pointed out that some of the bigger streamers out there are still able to get away with criticism, which means that there seems to be a clout filter happening here.

That makes this more odd.

 

[TheInfamousKira]

That list of banned terms, holy shit, ROFL

Do They pay a guy to brainstorm memey shit that might get said about their products?

 

[DrFigs]

I don't think its a big deal. literally don't agree to the terms. no one is forcing you to participate in the closed alpha.
if its a matter of just not being able to trust previews, then it shouldn't be a problem. either you trust someone's opinion on gaming and so you believe them if they say the game is good or you don't and their opinion is irrelevant anyway.

I’m kinda impressed. Those are solid insults.

Fauxverwatch sent me to the beyond.

 

[Ozzie666]

Seems they may lack some confidence in their product.

 

[Gamer_By_Proxy]

Fauxverwatch sent me to the beyond.

If they didn’t want us to use them, they shouldn’t make them so good. Ha! I may lift a few of these.

Been there for years.

 

[StereoVsn]

Corpo scammers keep scamming. This is really ridiculous though. Wonder if these contract terms will fly in EU.

 

[Silver Wattle]

So this is made by the company that made Diablo immortal? Stay the fuck away from this then, holy shit the level of predatory decisions in that game is insane.

 

[Saber]

Keypoints here are that multiple didn't even read when signed and this game is apparently made by the Diablo garbage phone game(surprisesurprise).

Honestly, I wouldn't be surprised if most are fine with it. Most of them just want the review code and not paying for it.

I totally support the idea of reviwers spend their own money on the game for review purposes. That way they gonna think twice about giving good scores for unndeserved companies.

Yep, Netease is horrible for this sort of crap.

 

[MayauMiao]

Whoever reviews this will have his or her reputation called into question. They all should stay away from this kind of contract.

 

[Ryūtō]

This should have always been the case. I don't think I've chosen to play or pan a game based off of reviews or horrendous previews.

 

[winjer]

This is probably a strong indication that the company knows they have a bad game.

 

[Pop]

Screams zero confidence

Does looks like a OW clone though

 

[bumpkin]

“Pheauxverwatch” and “Bootleg Overwatch” are accurate though. The truth hurts?

 

[Jadsey]

I now wouldn't touch this with a shitty stick.

Slippery bastards.

 

[midnightAI]

So they admit they ripped off Overwatch?

Marvel Rivals developer apologises after banning negative reviews

Miscommunication...

 

[DAHGAMING]

"Hulk got no ass" lol, more soyboy superhero shit for the bin.

 

[ssringo]

Marvel Rivals = Bootleg Overwatch

That's all I'll think of now.

 

[iHaunter]

 

[e0n]

Are people really falling for obvious jokes? The "disparaging phrases" section is fake and the game is f2p either way.

[SmokedMeat]

If any of these people have a backbone, they’ll say nothing at all about the game. Their silence would speak volumes.

 

[Fake]

Is this even legal?

 

[Stitch]

This game is shit - in Minecraft

That should work

 

[Kadve]

Never forget Driv3rgate guys! Moneyhatting has been a thing since forever...

Driv3r and corruption, continued

 

[Arsic]

I watched some folks play last night and it looked like a lot of fun honestly,

That said… Diablo immortal is absolutely pay to win. I imagine this game will be that too or just have insanely over priced skins.

 

[Lucifers Beard]

Shit practice obviously. I'd make a video with absolutely no commentary outside of 'here is gameplay for the new marvel game, make your own mind up' and proceed to show unedited footage of it. If it's bad, people will see that.

 

[DonkeyPunchJr]

I’d like to thank the studio behind Diablo Immortal for allowing me to review this amazing game, which I would never describe as “Fauxverwatch”, “Bootleg Overwatch”, “we have Overwatch at home”, “Overwatch but less fun”, “Overwatch with even worse microtransactions”, “Blowverwatch”, “even gayer and that’s saying something Overwatch” or any other pejorative.

 

[whyman]

The OT for this game has to be Bootleg Overwatch OT and nothing else.

What you say about Hulks ass? Hulk sensitive. Fragile like Marvel.

 

[midnightAI]

Not sure, but they certainly told testers not to give negative feedback. I think the list of terms is probably fake though just to take the piss out of it

 

[Herbspiceguy]

I think it's called humor, guys.

I've been watching Lirik play the game and honestly it looks like a polished and solid Overwatch clone.

[TheInfamousKira]

Fauxverwatch and Chrissie from Jews are still the best things to have happened here all week. Like a one two punch.
