That is a completely horrible way of using review scores.

Games are generally a quite expensive form of entertainment (Killer Instinct being "free", is an exception and in its case I'd just strongly suggest anyone having the chance to try it), so just looking for someone that liked the game is the worst thing you can do when you're on the fence about buying it, the right way of doing it is looking at both sides of the medal, actually reading the reviews and then deciding if you want to pay 60 dollars for it or if it just might not be the game for you.

wait what ????? games is the cheapest way of entertainement.... with a console that cost 400-500 bucks and games that cost 60 bucks (new) I can play for half a decade to a decade during countless of hours.... movies cost 10 bucks a piece for 2 hours max of entertainement... going out cost you between 25-50 bucks a piece for 1 night out and I'm being nice I blow 60 bucks without eating easily when I go out with friends... vacation is just out of the league... maybe music can be named.... but can you seriously take music as a substitute for something way more engaging like gaming.... the main reason I went back to console gaming was the fact that I would spend way less money on entertainement than anything else....

If I do the math withthe cost of  all the game I have bought divided by the number of hours of entertainement I get it blows the cost per hour of any other enterteinement form out there....

 

looking for a positive review that suites your gaming taste is the best way to chose a game not its meta score.... so yeah one positive review in line with your taste is more important than 20 negative...

I'm sorry but you should overthink your spending habits, 60 dollar a night when going out with friends? 10 bucks a movie? Ever heard of Netflix? But even if we disregard this, gaming is not cheap, so looking for one guy that tells you what you want to hear and at the same time ignoring all possible criticism is not a good way to decide if a game is for you.

yeah I heard of netflix, comparing netflix to a movie in the thetre is like comparing a day at disneyworld with a bike ride in a park.... both can be enjoyable but come on ???? and it's not like netflix is world wide... I get it because I have a router set up with a VPN redirection.... and you still need a connection....

netflix alone cost me 50 bucks a month (if you take the internet connection and VPN sub into consideration, thankfully I use them for other thing than just netflix)

so i'll give you that netflix... which makes it pretty limited....

going out that's why I said 25-50 bucks for a regular joe because you can drink PBR all night at the local dive bar for pretty much a dollar a glass... you add a couple shots to clear the taste and you have 25...

but as soon as you decide to go out properly with actual drinkable adult beverage and be nice with your friend and take a couple rounds on your tab and don't stop until close time in my city which is 7am... 60 bucks is the bare minimum....

I follow my finance pretty closely with excel spreadsheets and other capital management apps/software.... and gaming is a cheap entertainement medium compare to most options especially if you have a familly and don't live like a cheap ass by choice.....

 

now that said I agree with you, what I said is a positive review from someone that appears to value the same things as you has more value than 20 negative ones.... so a game could be rated with a 50 average if I see a 90 from a person that points out stuff that suit my taste the other can bitch against the game for hours with their poor graphic argument, or slow downs.... and you always have the option to buy used.... which makes  gaming even more affordable and therefore you can risk it on more games... I discovered games I loved that way following a single positive review and went pick up the game when it was cheap on the xbox store or at the local gamestop....
