I don't lose interest based on review scores. If I'm interested in a game I want to try it myself, I've had a good time playing many low-rated games. Also had a terrible time with high-rated games such as Inside.

I don't lose or gain interest based on scores. Either I'm interested in it or not. It only increases or lowers my hype levels. I'm still gonna buy it regardless of score.
If you demand respect or gratitude for your volunteer work, you're doing volunteering wrong.
I couldn't care less about review scores when it comes to buying games. I take the series and the genre into consideration and that's about it. I detest FPS games, so it could get 10/10 from everywhere but I still wouldn't buy it. Pokemon Mystery Dungeon: Explorers of Time/Darkness, my equal favourite gaming experience of all time, got between 5-7 in reviews, I think everyone that reviewed it were completely fucking stupid, as to me, beyond a 10/10. Knowing those review scores doesn't change my view one little bit.
If a game gets below 80, I would read the reviews, and I'd only buy the game if it looks really fun to me and if the negative stuff doesn't really bother me.

I buy games much more on the price rather than the review score, so not much really to be honest.
I’ve realised that I have loved games with a 7 and hated games with a 9, so probably 6-6.5.
Some critics are idiots. Same goes for movies. Some of the best movies only got an average score of 6.5 or so, just because many critics (or users) were to stupid to understand the genius of those films. Exaggerating of course. It’s mainly a matter of taste.
Tastes differ a lot, so to think “anything below 8.5 is crap” is naive and you’re most likely missing out, imho.

Last edited by Errorist76 - on 09 January 2018Scores don't totally affect me. If it has a low score, i'll read and see what the problems were, and also read some reviews of normal people. I may still end up getting what others consider a crappy game, for the right price.

It all depends on the genre and what the game is about tbf. For instance I find first person shooters boring and bland so for to to be interested in a game in that category it would need a score of 100% otherwise I’m not interested.
However I’m into my history and old cultures like the Vikings, Romans, Britannia celts and so on. So when a game called “Vikings battle of asgard” on ps2 or 3 (I can’t remember which), Which was a third person sword style game with a Viking story that only scored about 65% average but I bought it and still enjoyed it.
Sonit basically depends on the games genre and subject in the first place with me.

Depends entirely on the game, but let's say it's a new game series that I have no opinion on, then I'd probably say below 75 and I'm going to just forget about it.


There's no specific score that would make me disregard a game based just on how well they reviewed. My second favourite game of all time has a 74 metascore, and many other games I absolutely love are similarly poorly reviewed. For example, Nier has a metascore of 67 on PS3, and it's one of my favourite games of the previous generation.
