I went to check my reviews a few minutes ago (of which there are 72, and it still displays that number beside the link), and the page is completely empty, with a title saying "tis but a barren wasteland", along with the option of creating a review. I sincerely hope this is merely a temporary glitch, otherwise I have lost my reviews. Has anybody run into the same problem?

You can - you must have your listing show both "reviews and ratings". Unfortunately, your list is more than likely to be jumbled up anyway, even if you try to sort it.

GlitchSpot earns its nickname - again.

UPDATE: So... I have been going around, "editing" some of my user reviews which had been relabeled by GameSpot's schizophrenic system as "ratings". I merely went into edit mode and went back out for some user reviews.

They were re-listed as user reviews instead of just ratings.

Unfortunately, this might mean that any solution can only be implemented user-side.

UPDATE 2: ****, I want to try to fix this problem for my own user reviews myself, but I am flooding people on my friends' list with notifications.

@antipunt1: @Cartr1dgeBased:

Your works are still there - they have -somehow- been re-labelled as user ratings.

Also, I would like to report here that the number next to the "Reviews & Ratings" is utterly broken.

Same Issue here, any review I wrote before today is not there anymore, as long as they come back at some point, it's cool.

It's a tedious work-around involving re-editing every user review which has been mistakenly labelled "user ratings".

@Gelugon_baat: they were all ratings to begin with. when i go to ratings and reviews show: reviews & ratings, i get 1 rating. not 600. if you could link me my 600-800 ratings so i could verify this with my own eyes it would be appreciated.

i went to chrono trigger and a few other games i know i have reviewed in the past as well, and the pages for those sites do not indicate i have left any rating for them what so ever as well. i feel it's all been lost in the ether. these GS updates have been poorly implemented. so many issues. i feel like half the links take me to the homepage and now my ratings are lost. i should of used excel.

If all you had were numbers, then I can't help you.

Maybe if you had written actual user reviews instead of just planting numbers, you might still have them.

Might as well join the club, cause it happened to me too.

I had 129 reviews and now they're gone. Geez, this update is doing a lot more bad than good in my opinion. And as an added bonus, I can't change my settings under my user profile either.

The same thing has happened to me.

I decided to revisit this site after about 4 months or so to see how much they have fixed regarding the 'stacks' and bugs. What do I find? Stacks are barely function for me (but that is irrelevant to this topic), and my ratings and reviews are completely gone from my profile. Thankfully, I can still find the reviews on the games' pages but the ratings are nowhere to be seen. I'm ignorant concerning what has been going on on the website for the past months but seriously what have they been doing? Concerning reviews, ratings and game lists, its all become such a mess.

Hey. Unfortunately I can't find them even if they were supposedly relabeled as 'ratings' instead of reviews. I set my filter to ratings , reviews, and also both, but still a 'barren wasteland' >_>

Aaaaargh, WTF is going on here at GameSpot?

So the current "fix" is to track down each of your supposed still existing reviews and enter edit mode on each of them. Surely this is not a "fix" or even a sensible workaround. I get "barren wasteland" whether I toggle reviews and/or ratings.

Well my previous view, late last year when the site was "improved" with its useless stacks was not to submit any new reviews but just to rate the games. Now all my old reviews and recent ratings are hidden, albeit locatable by tediously searching each title which are no longer sorted by date or platform but thumbs up/down.

I wonder if I will bother coming back to GameSpot, which was once my only gaming home, and now seriously stuffed up.

God damn it, most of my ratings are purged.
I could spend few days rating them again but I don't remember all games I've played and what grade did I give them.

Thanks Obama Gamespot

Ya know, being able to write my own reviews is what has kept me here at GS for so long. If it wasn't for that, I would have left months ago. Now, I have no god damn reason to fucking stay. GameSpot, go **** off.

This. I'm really hoping they fix this issue because it was the only reason why Gamespot was my permanent residence. It was like my memory book.

Exactly. I am glad that we see eye-to-eye here.

You could always move to Giant Bomb. It's pretty similar to GS in design, except it's not horrifyingly buggy. You can write your own reviews and everything. Literally, it has ALMOST all the same formats and features that GS has, minus the bugs. I have only been there a day, so...take what I have said with a grain of salt.

I'm joining the bandwagon, over 400+ ratings and a quite a few dozen reviews are gone....however I think it is just a listing bug on our reviews and ratings homepage...when I go to the separate games in question I can find my own review in the user reviews, even better I can find my own numerical rating for games I only had a numerical rating...this should definitely be repairable, probably after a recent bugfix patch on the website something has gone wrong and reviews / ratings done previously are not correctly listed, however any done at the moment now appear correctly

We're aware of this issue. We understand the frustration but we're looking into it. It's not lost, we had a big data center move recently which could possibly be the reason for this. We are looking into the issue and everything should be restored soon.

I'm annoyed at this as well. I have about 150 reviews on my channel but when I wanted to view them the reviews were gone. What kind of glitch is this. Gamespot needs to put their games on hold and fix the website.

Hey guys you can still find your reviews if you search the game you're looking for and look at user reviews. However, like many other users here, if I try to access them through my profile, I am unable to find them.

Is this going to be fixed?

Keeping fingers crossed, I guess. Like some others who posted here, I kind of used the ratings system as a way to record memories of old games that I've once played. (Yeah, yeah, I'll put them into the "Games I've Played" stack once I get the ratings list back.)

Same thing happened to me. Hours were spent writing reviews, and now I only have access to two of them. Extremely disappointing. this was by far the most important Gamespot feature for me: I could go and see the ratings of every game I ever played.

PLEASE bring them back.

Something akin to progress perhaps?

14 of my 109 (or 13%) ratings and/or reviews now showing under my profile ... after 3 weeks, that is.

Every journey begins with one step ...

@derp_meowslurp: yea this redesign is just frustrating. the majority of the links just tak eme back tot he home page for w/e reasons. the ratings i did have were just thrown under random platforms and not the platforms i rated them under and all the platforms share the same ratings which is.. dumb.. and now my 700 or so ratings are simply gone... for the second time now.
