i kind of agree with you.

I know there are titles I will like.  Pretty much 90% of JRPGs I will enjoy because something about that genre appeals to me. Watch a bit of gameplay to get a general feel and then go dark for months leading up to it.

I hyped GTA IV a bit (one of th elast games I really did) and when it came out I just felt deflated as I wa snot enjoyign myself. I never thought I'd like Saint's Row, but I picked up Saint's Row III in a bargain bin year or so ago and I ended up loving it.  I also liked Saint's Row IV and will try like crazy not to hype up V if it comes out.

Often we can be molded a bit to think we have to like something because it is so big and their is a general consensus that "A" is better than "B".  So I guess th eother aspect is making peace with your tastes and not be suckered in as much by places like metacritic.
