How are review numbers ruining gaming? Metacritic scores and sales do not seem to correlate.

They dampen my enjoyment of games. For example, I got Yoshi's New Island and liked it, the next day I looked up the Metascore and never played the game again.


So, you let other decide what you should read, watch and listen to? I guess you believe anything the media says. Back during the PS2 days, the Mark of Kri got a 8.0 and Primal got a 7.3. I gave both games over 8.5. I love both of them amost equality. But I ignored the review scores. I just didn't care what they said.

Same with Dead Island. I gave it a 9.0 even though it averaged a 8.0 on Meta and 6.8 from fans.
