| TheNoobHolocaust said: Review scores can be misleading, but that shouldn't discredit all game reviewers. For example, there are some really off based and biased reviewers, but just try to find a reviewer that you agree with. I wouldn't use Metacritic for a reference because there are some unfair reviewers out there. I use Game Informer, I think their reviewers and I look for the same things in games, so when I look for a game I usually use them as a reference, it's really up to you. This may come across as a "well duh" to many of you, but if you do understand this then why do you complain? |
This is my general philosophy, but it doesn't sit well with the board as a whole. I discount all reviewers because none have ever shared my, admittedly, bat shit insane taste in games. I still object to the notion that review scores have some intrinsic value that can be brought to others though. Game Informer reviews are great for you, but I laugh my ass off when I read them because of how out of touch they are with my desires. I think we would agree on this.
