I'm guilty of this as well, don't go as far as say it is bad or I hate, but I decide quite early if I want to try or not a game and sure that can be often based on imprecise information.

It's the reason why I never played Uncharted until PS4, of which the UC Collection came with my bundle. I was going to sell it because I read a few somewhat negative reviews, and a few of my friends said they didn't like the first game. Those friends were fairly liberal, and one was a bigger XB fan, though I didn't really pay attention to politics back then or look at the world in a political way. A 'buyer' actually messaged me asking me why I was selling it and told me it was like a better version of the Tomb Raider franchise and I should really try it out. I did oddly enough and loved the series, eventually getting UC4 and UCLL.

It works the opposite way as well at times. You just gotta make a choice and maybe it turns out positive or negative. You never truly know until you try though. For some people $60 just to try every game they want ain't worth the risk. When you get big legitimate leaks and can easily watch walk through's now however, it makes deciding a little easier anyway.

That is basically my only use of Metacritic. If I'm buying a game from a dev or IP I don't know and it is below 80 I'll probably only buy for less than 10USD. The other deciding factor is genre, some genres I have played some games and didn't like so I avoid most.
