That is a completely horrible way of using review scores.

Games are generally a quite expensive form of entertainment (Killer Instinct being "free", is an exception and in its case I'd just strongly suggest anyone having the chance to try it), so just looking for someone that liked the game is the worst thing you can do when you're on the fence about buying it, the right way of doing it is looking at both sides of the medal, actually reading the reviews and then deciding if you want to pay 60 dollars for it or if it just might not be the game for you.

No need to try and look in KI case. Everyone loves the gameplay. 

The only question is whether to wait till January to play one of the best fighters in years. When it gets re reviewed with full content. 74 now, with full content 90 should be easy. The gameplay is near perfection. AS is the visuals.

Don't care about fighters. But you like it, good for you.

I guess people seem to forget that reviews are for the people that are interested in the game. Showing them what to expect good and bad about it.

Thought you didnt care about review scores?

Only if they're negative. 


And that is the best way to use review-scores.

Don't let them ruin your fun! Let positive reviews show you games you did not have on your radar before!

That is the one and only way.

They're gonna add Story Mode, Finishers, More characters and costumes.

They did great because MS gave them 10 months to make K.I. from the ground up.

They are mostly solicited to make licenced games; games about movies for quick cash in, so usually their games suck!!

But this time they did a great service to Microsoft and they'll be rewarded in the future.

wait what ????? games is the cheapest way of entertainement.... with a console that cost 400-500 bucks and games that cost 60 bucks (new) I can play for half a decade to a decade during countless of hours.... movies cost 10 bucks a piece for 2 hours max of entertainement... going out cost you between 25-50 bucks a piece for 1 night out and I'm being nice I blow 60 bucks without eating easily when I go out with friends... vacation is just out of the league... maybe music can be named.... but can you seriously take music as a substitute for something way more engaging like gaming.... the main reason I went back to console gaming was the fact that I would spend way less money on entertainement than anything else....

If I do the math withthe cost of  all the game I have bought divided by the number of hours of entertainement I get it blows the cost per hour of any other enterteinement form out there....

 

looking for a positive review that suites your gaming taste is the best way to chose a game not its meta score.... so yeah one positive review in line with your taste is more important than 20 negative...



yeah its back alright!!! released with 1 playable character and then you have to pay for additional characters LOL!!! Are you guys that dumb?
