If you kept reading I do acknowledge it, I just missed it the first time and it will be fixed momentarily.
And still,, even using gameplay videos is beyond stupid. Those exist in completely controlled circumstances and don't always represent the final product.
It's fine to say something like I don't trust reviews, I trust word of mouthi I would rather rent/demo first but saying I don't trust reviews, trust demos and screenshots is just one of the most ridiculous things I've ever read.
Most people that say they don't trust reviews say that because they think the publisher bought the score. They are free to think that but then they probably shouldn't trust things like screenshots and demos that the publishers themselves provide.
It's not that hard to think these things through.

once again, thats fine if you think its dumb
i get why you would think that, but if this is really one of the most ridiculous things youve read, than i dont really know what to say lol
its also not hard to just try a game out without acknowledging reviews, the worst you lose is a couple bucks

I fully agree with Twestern here.
1 - As corrupt, incompetent, or irrelevant reviewers might be (hypothetically speaking here), their declared opinion will always be more reliable than that of the editor.
2 - The amount of games out there is insane. Without reviewers to somehow regulate expectations and prevent a shovelware-style crisis as that of the 80's what would we have ?
Console fabricants & editors & fans - a trinity sent from hell
