In recent memory, I've been more oftenly burned by not listening to reviews. There's a litany of (typically cheap, small) titles that I should've did more research on before purchasing them. So even if my opinion is "corrupted", I'll put stock in reviews because (now) I place a high value on my time and money and will avoid gambling it away as much as possible. I've learned my lesson.
As for whether other people's opinions ever make me change my mind about a game I enjoyed... nope. Just because certain aspects in certain games ruin the fun for some, doesn't mean my own enjoyment was irreversibly compromised. I'll happily admit that my favorite games aren't for everyone and each have their own niggling problems which, on occasion, even frustrate me. However, I will defend a game I like if I feel as if someone has made an incorrect statement or appears to be missing the point.
