Whenever someone sings fansa and they don't input their name instead of mona at the mona-beam part I'm like "Are you even a real aidoru?".

all that matters is whether or not a game has enough action for your son

Also, see shitty game launches.
From what I hear No Man's Sky is pretty great now but it will always be MIXED on Steam.

Apparently if you bypass the live service features... Anthem is actually a good game

In general I agree: critics tend to focus on wonky tech issues and hold up their nose at the concept of "fun". You can typically get a better sense of a game by reading a few fan reviews and separating out the mindless fans & mindless haters.

still never going to give my money to a guy that obviously lied about his game.

super obvious he was lying in that interview.
working to correct your lies doesn't deserve praise, certainly doesn't deserve business

I mean, it kinda does. Accepting your mistake and working to correct it is unambiguously a good thing in any scenario. Murray's propensity for promising the moon when all he has is a small rock means I'll be approaching any future Hello Games projects with a healthy dose of skepticism, but as far as NMS itself goes, by all accounts it's a pretty solid game now and holding the disastrous launch against it just deprives you of being able to enjoy that, for no real reason.

Both are tools. You're not smarter than all of us if you bash a nail in with your bare hand. Learn which critics are trustworthy. Find the user reviews that are useful and not just stupid memes and jokes.

Mostly, actually read reviews instead of blindly following numbers.

Personally, I tend to look at reviews after I've already formed a preliminary impression of the game from other sources, mostly as a way of confirming that the things I think I will like are done well and that there aren't any dealbreakers I didn't consider. Unless the score is quite low (like sub-60) or there's a significant disconnect between critic and user scores, I don't usually bother to dig much deeper than skimming them for confirmation.

Doesn't really matter.

The only thing that matters is if a product is good and if it's worth the price now

The last time I tried a new game series was TES with Skyrim in like 2013 or so. Besides that I stick to games/franchises I already like.
