| Onyxmeth said: I value the words inside more than the score. What I got from the Dante's Inferno reviews in a nutshell was that it was a God of War clone. I like God of War, so naturally I should like this game, not hate it. I don't care about the score given that is a result of it's lack of originality. I just care that it copied off the right game. You'll find that outside of the scoring, a lot of reviews are very helpful. |
Wow, first post got it right. If I know I really want a game, a review score won't affect that unless the review says that theres a bunch of things wrong with it (frame rate is bad, story might be bad, gameplay gets boring etc) . If the game turns out to be what I expect based off of gameplay vids, then the review score won't change my mind. To use the same example, right off the bat I was hyped for Dante's Inferno because of the similarities that it has with GoW, and I didn't even check metacritic to see what it averaged, I just bought it. Same thing I did with Bayonetta, and will do with Bioshock 2, and GoW III.
