Thats what I primarily buy my games off along experience.. I know what to expect of certain games/devs and if Im mildly interested Ill cop when the price drops, watch it on YT or play a demo if available.
Demos are a thing of the past, and not all games have betas and sometimes a lot of shyt changes from the beta. I have eclectic tastes. I don't limit myself to one particular genre or anything. I'm the same way with music. I'll listen to any genre (minus country...[fukk that shyt]). I want to know what's going on with all genres. Metacritic allows me to easily do that.Havent you aqcuired a taste thru the years?
If you have that much games, you should kind of get a feel for what you like. Me, I know I won't enjoy games like Shadow of Mordor or w/e so even though I'll see big hype behind such titles like The Witcher 3 or Dragon Age, they're not my type of games so I'll skip. That's where Steam comes in handy, I end up buying games on there that I wouldn't for console because of the low prices from time to time. I bought SOM for $25(well $12 since I split it with my cuzzin.)
I typically like everything (except turn-based combat and action games right now). I'll play a puzzle game one day, an rpg another, an action/adventure another day, etc. I don't limit myself.
How am I a freak? Metacritic is a very popular site. I'm not the only one that uses itIm open minded too but we sure as hell aint got the same mindset. You a freak
Well, all I can say is you should hop on that P4G. Put it on very easy
Besides you admitted multiple times you a freak
No, I use reviews as a tool. Like I said, I have over 500 games on steam (and that's just on pc alone). I don't just buy games because they have high metacritic scores.You lead yourself thru others
Not for these obscure indies. Plus, what I gotta do, read 150 reviews for games now (or even worse, just trust one review site)? I like to read positive, medium, and negative reviews of games. metacritic allows me to easily do that. Without numbers, I'm stuck reading 80 reviews or some bullshyt. I'm not making reading reviews my new hobby, and I'm not letting advertising influence my decision to buy a game either.
Metacritic is a great tool. I still have no idea why people hate it so much. It all started with Destiny. That shyt got reviews in the 70s and everybody turned on metacritic. Users don't even like that game either. I don't know what the big deal is.
If you don't like reviews, don't read em, and buy games based on hype. If that's your prerogative, then so be it. I for one love metacritic and use it as a tool to buy games. If it goes away, I'll just go buy steam reviews or user reviews (but it's much harder for me to trust those people).
I literally do not have time to read 100 reviews for a game. I don't think anybody does. You read glowing reviews, mediocre reviews, and bad reviews. That gives you a good idea of what that game is about. The number helps point you to a game you might have missed cuz it doesn't have a million dollar marketing budget. shyt is such a helpful tool. Why do people hate it so much?
I've never hidden myself on this site. If you frequent the locker room you'd know all about my worldview and mindset. I'm comfortable with myself. I got nothing to hide. I'm an extremely negative person. Who cares?
My problem is, I can't just trust one site. One opinion means nothing to me. I need more than that. I like aggregates. Metacritic gives me that
