Tell me /v/, do you let review scores determine whether you purchase

If its a game I know I'll like I don't care about reviews (We're talking weeb shit here)
If its a game I was iffy on, I'll get it on a heavy sale one day.

In regards to stuff more "narrative driven" stuff I couldn't care less how well it was received.
I get some people want more narrative focused games but I'm not one of them.
muh sjw stuff aside I don't really like the newer naughty dog stuff.
Jax and Daxter was cool but Uncharted gets treated more as a tech demo than a game from critics.

Pretty much never, as a kid I would go off how cool it looked on the box/magazines etc

Now I just watch a bit of someone else playing it on Youtube and then if I like what I see I buy it, then if its shit you can always refund now anyway

>>388677930
No, because if I did I'd listen to IGN's 3/10 for God Hand.

Yes, I'll buy said game if someone convince me to

>>388677930
Well BOTW got 98 (YES IT DID OKAY JIM STERLING DOESN'T COUNT) so it's the best game ever.... *smirks and waits for your non-intellectual refute*

I don't purchase games.

>>388677930
No because I did not and will never purchase the last of us or play it.

Not really. If I think I will like it then I will like it, this was the case for all my games except for 2015 Battlefront. What a piece of shit game.

Now, when you fuck up a character THIS bad, it makes me want to not buy your game. They took a cute loli/daughterfu and shat on her design.
I might still buy it if they don't make her a lesbian, but knowing Naughty Dog she's gonna be scissoring some black girl that resembles her childhood friend for half the game.

Not really if its series or genre I dont like. I havent played Zelda games, Mario 64 and basically whole nintendo library and doesnt intend to, even if they have some of highest scoring games of all time

>Missing out on games just because "m-muh fuck this company"
I see you're a man of autism as well...
This only counts for EA and Dice

she looks like some manhating lesbian straight out of Lilith fair.

I didnt say company, just genre or series. Nintendo does a ton of platformers and I dont care for platformers. I tried hollow knight and it was meh. I liked mario kart though.

A stream of negative reviews will not necessarily dissuade me from something I'm interested in, but I'll do more research before jumping in right away at full price. A stady stream of exultant press, on the other hand, winds up making me suspicious of a game and more critical of flaws the reviews glossed over in their praise.

>>388679849
Then arent you still basing your opinion on the reviews, just in an opposite fashion? I think the best way to determine the quality of a game is to play it. TLoU is actually pretty good, I think.

>>388677930
Good review scores can get me to look into a game I might otherwise not have, and extremely low scores might deter me from buying something close to launch.

I don't pay attention to them at all. I honestly have no idea how 90% of the games I play have scored in reviews.

If a game looks interesting to me, I will get it.

Gameplay vids are what I need, not reviews.

TLOU was a good game by the way.

>>388677930
No. At the very least not since the internet and Youtube became a thing. If I'm interested in a game, I'll go look for some videos and see if it turns me on or off. Of course I will take the words of close friends to heart. Art is subjective. One man's ten is another man's one.
