@JackHandy, @Veknoid_Outcast, @KLXVER, @IcaroRibeiro,@JRPGfan: I’m realizing I dropped this thread a tad bit prematurely— I quickly typed this up in like 3min as I was waiting for Church service to start.

My aim is for the aggregate gaming community (not merely myself) to avoid forming opinions based solely on what critics have said. Maybe this thread can be changed to a discussion on solutions to this issue? IDK. I’ll edit it in a moment, or just open a clean new thread.

I don't know anyone that does that though.
Metacritic/OpenCritic is not a great way (for me anyways) to judge games.

I want to see gameplay and judge it myself.... thats why I don't enjoy trailers where its just like a title of a new game announcement, or just a CGI trailer.
The best way to judge games is from Players.

Reviewers and journalist can have very weird scoring metrics.
Ei. Relooted, HighGuard, Suicide Squad, Concord ect (and many more) reviewed much much higher than players judged(scored) them.

Word of Mouth, Random players on internet, your own eyeballs (watching gameplay) >>> metacritic/OpenCritic scores.

All that said, I still think having review scores is better than having nothing.
