I totally disagree @ bolded REVIEWS are very important.......£40 isn't some amount that grows on trees Without reviews or META I would have bought LAIR, HAZE & so on Without reviews I wouldn't have been warned of the shortcoming of assassin's creed 1 compared to its immense hype If I wouldn't have listened to reviews I would have spent £40 on uncharted 1, basically £40 for 8 hours of gameplay, I don't have that kind of money to burn Reviews & Meta are vital, especially as this is an expensive hobbie But for some select few games like MGS4, FF13, GT5, GTA4 & so on.....games that you BUY the system for, meta isn't important for the rest our tastes alone aren't that rgeat to decide by, as theres something called buyers remorse.....Meta + Reviews can help you avoid that. Now onto the AAA GAMES point: As for deciding what makes an AAA game, what makes a critically well recieved movie? CRITCS giving it high scores in the same way an AAA GAME = 90 + on metacritic now.....simple as that really |
Using your tastes is bunch of crap, since i would never play VC,( Because the demo was not good representation of a full game) or other niche games. Also i would be scared of spending so much money on things that i haven't even tried yet.
