Does A Disappointing Review Affect Your Decision?

If your carious about purchasing a game but wasn't to sure if it's going to be 'EPIC', So you're waiting for a quick review from one of you're trust worthy sites to help you make that decision. Well what if that game "FLOPPED"? Would you jump on the bandwagon and claim it sucks too just because they reviewed it from their point of view expectation? What if it doesn't "SELL" a bunch of copies? Does that let alone deserve to receive a negative image? Of course not but it sure does lately.

It really depends on the game being reviewed. Like for MAG, the mostly 7s and 8s it received didn't effect my decision at all. The game is awesome and I would score it higher than most of the reviews I read.

I think the ONLY game i've ever considered not buying b/c of reviews was Haze. (i rented it and was glad I never bought that PoS.. i could barely stand finishing that games)

The most reviews ever affect my opinion is 'when' to get the game.. not whether to get the game or not. I put off a few highly anticipated games (for me) like Dead Space and VC. I plan on picking both of em up sson since they hit the 20$ mark

Lair
Bought Lair first day, loved it, am in the top 100 world wide for scores *(the last time I checked lol) Animation is organic and realistic for the dragons (as realistic as a mythical creature can be), ground soldiers moved a little robotic, everything else ran pretty great, the story was good, but a little light in terms of conversations. This game is still unmatched in a lot of areans in terms of things buzzing around onscreen, 1080p graphics, and the 60fps (not steady, but shines most of the time)

Too Human:
Went through the entire game. Graphics and configuration is it's strongest points; the best looking game using the Unreal engine that came out that year if I recall correctly... or, at lest the most impressive use of the engine that year. Not a single load screen (first game I know of this gen that was like that), animation was stiff and the controls were unique, but not deal breaking. The horrible story, dialogue, and "modern" look for a Hyborian civilization wrecked it for me. Didn't keep it, but I would recommend a playthrough.

HAZE
Went through the entire game and played some multiplayer. Outside of the Rock-solid controls and a few multiplayer maps, there is no redeeming factor for this game. The levels seemed like various multiplayer maps stitched-together. Graphics were inconsistent in almost all of the areas: some parts of the game looked pretty nice actually, but others looked kinda poor; and they'd be on the same stage, which looked like the game was slapped together. The story was crap, and the dialogue was so lame that it made Too Human's story look like Shakespeare's Hamlet.

I returned it and said it was so bad, I think it gave me AIDS.

At any rate, I like to use my own brain; and nowadays, a lot of stores (where I live, anyways) will let you return it for store cred if you return it (The Gamestop where I live will give you full cred if returned within seven days).

Effect is a noun, Affect is the Verb.

I think Does is the verb, but this is me with three hours of sleep, so don't quote me. :D

The gaming GOD5860d ago (Edited 5860d ago )

is if you're some sheep that doesn't know how to make his/her own decisions. Review scores mean NOTHING to me. I base my opinions of what I play for MYSELF. Not off people playing a game "for me" and then spoon feeding me his/her own opinion.

Sure I can understand when people are afraid to risk $60 on a game. It's not like gaming is cheap. But hey, that's what rental and borrowing from friends is for
