I stopped giving a shit about reviews a long time ago. The only opinion that matters for media is my own. If you like a movie, song, game, etc, that other people don't like, so what? Same with disliking stuff that a lot of people like. It's called an opinion. Just deal with it and move on if someone disagrees with you on a piece of media. Not rocket science.

RetardEra have never gotten past the high school stage of maturity.

trouble with this is it means you have to buy everything to get your own opinion on it, which is exactly what the companies want you to do

my opinion? watch all the negative reviews and decide if it seems well-reasoned or if it's overblown, if it seems like stuff you can deal with

you can't argue with the footage in the skillup review, even if the review was all ideological, it literally shows you dialogue and "puzzles" you can expect to see

Completely understand that view.

The problem I find with reviews is that they tend to spoil a bit too much for my own liking. That is just my own personal view for reviews nowadays. A few years ago they did not go into too much with spoilers. I like to go into games I most likely will be getting blind and not knowing too much. Especially if it's a series I've played all the games before the new one releases.

I just watch trailers and read a ton of info about the games. I tend to stick to the franchises / series I'm used to and don't branch out much nowadays. Plus I wait for sales and if I wasted money, at least it wasn't full price.

No judgment for how other people choose on how they purchase games, I just have my own way of doing it.
