So you let reviewers decide what games you buy? That's kinda lame.

Well, yeah unfortunately, but it kind of makes sense. Quality of some parts of games has undeniably increased, I think that gameplay itself is arguable, and that is going to color the views of the reviewers. I think that they should be more critical, and unless a game is near perfect, it shouldn't get beyond a 9/10. No game should get a 10/10, ever, and definitely no game should ever get an 11/10. But honestly, I have loved nearly every game I have played that was 9/10 (with some noticable exceptions), and mildly enjoyed the 8/10's that I have played so I guess it's about right. Anyways, this just shows that you should read the text of the review and only use the score as a general guide.

So you buy every game and judge for youself, and then throw away or sell for a fraction of the original price the games you did not like?  That's even lamer.

lol, I don't sell my games. I keep each and every one of them.

Well I assume, when the game is well rewieved and reviece an universal acclaim... it will be great?

What else should decide which game to get, since I've bought consoles for the first time in this gen (been a long time pc gamer)? I didn't know much series except for those famous IP's such as Final Fantasy, Gran Turismo, Halo, Zelda... When I'm deciding which game to get, I read the reviews, look at meta score, If I'm still in doubt I check some gameplay video. Ideally there is a demo, but that's not the case for older titles or some titles at all in EU.

I'm not the kind of guy, who can play games for hours and hours every day. So I have to be picky... I still have more than 30 titles waiting in the line to be played (and they are all supposed to be great titles), while I'm buying other titles that catch my attention.

wayyy too many games are getting 9.0's thats its hard to tell when games are really good or not

Maybe they all are? You don't know until you try.

Well, there are plenty of highly reviewed games that I did not like at all and some low reviewed games that I did.

Reviews are helpful for games where you are on the fence, but I never take them as gospel. I mean, listening to reviews, I'm told GTA4 is one of the best games of all time. I highly disagree and don't even consider it a good game.

I don't play games that are scoring lower than 120% anymore.

Well than you are living in denial... GTA4 is definately a good game, even if it's only your opinion, denying it's quality is very biased bs (no not a bulletshot).

Ofc I pick only games I might enjoy. I'm not a retard that would look at meta and ordered the first 20 highest rated games for that system. I have my favourite genres, so I buy high quality games from those. Than time to time some game from for me unusal genre catch my attention, I get to know as much as I can about it (hopefully without spoilers) and than I buy it. This way I've discovered DMC 4, which really isn't my kind of game.

But the point I'm trying to make since my first post is = If the game is universaly criticaly accepted, it can't be bad. Than it's just a matter of your taste. And since I know mine, all of the picks I've made were successful (except for Burnout, oh god how I hate that game).
