You think it's a hive mentality?

As in, every media outlet are one and the same and every of their reviewers consult each others before posting their reviews?

Even weirder I find is the suggestion that we should not believe the majority of people who say it sucks but instead listen to this person and watch a youtube video which says it doesn't and believe them instead?. I mean neither of those options are forming an opinion for yourself. It's still going with a hive mind, just a different smaller hive.

I don't follow the hive mind. And I really don't care about it. Well... It annoys me quite abit at times. But mostly because it's annoying to see many aren't capable of forming an opinion of their own.

I have a few reviewers and website I trust, because they more often than not align with what I seek in games. I will watch some trailers, some gameplay videos, and read or watch reviews from sites or personalities I found that share similar gaming interests and expectations to mine. Usually, I have a pretty good idea of what to expect from a game before I buy it. In Mighty no. 9's case, I've read the Eurogamer review, and except for their complaint about the cheap end level second forms, they said it is Inafune's best game to date. That is enough for me to give the game the benefit of doubt. And I will most likely give it a chance once it comes down in price, or when it gets a momentary price drop on Steam or PSN.
