You still get burned now and then with strong reviews and even advice from friends. Only buying games with strong sales is silly and no guarantee either.
After reading positive professional reviews and good stories on the internet I decided to take a chance on Folklore. I won't rank it among the worst but I couldn't get into it and never finished it. I recently bought El Shaddai acsencion of the metatron, also has good reviews and is made by the character designer of Devil may cry and Okami. I won't give up on it yet, but so far it's a big WTF?
Sure I can play it safe and only buy major sequals where you know exactly what to expect, but then, just this year, I would never have played Catherine or the excellent Terraria, or Majin and the forsaken kingdom. New franchises are the ones that deserve the new sales imo, keep the originality coming. I can only stand so many sequals and remakes before I need something unexpected again.
