Reviews and review scores is supposed to be a guide and set some expectations to a product. Not full blown pick decides for you.

If most people who have played a game says its bad, why shouldnt you make a decision based on that?

Problem is people don't use reviews for guidance, rather they use them to validate their already made opinions and bias. It's really shitty.

I think you know why but that's a fallacy called Argumentum ad populum. Do you let the majority dictate your decisions?

I just did. Just because you hear more people say pineapple sucks on pizza doesn't mean it will suck for you. Wait, are you just projecting the troll accusation?

Its funny how much stock people put into review scores when it justifies what the person wants it to.. or if they say the opposite of what a person wants how worthless and biased they are

Users here would be quite surprised at how many of the cult-classics they love and call masterpieces were critically panned (or just considered meh) back in the day.

For things I'm interested in, yes. When I see something I like I'll go look at the reviews for a guidance. I don't use reviews to fully pick my decisions. And I don't use reviews to validate my opinions either.

Taking some time to see the game in action yourself is the way to go. Trust your own judgement. Too many good games would be overlooked leaving it to metacritic and the like.

Ok. Some people value their time and use reviews as guidance and will prefer to spend time on games where the consensus is the game is good rather than gamble time on a game where the consensus is that its bad. Its weird that you dont understand this, if you are being genuine

Just look at that topic where The Marvels is given a 55% review score. The TC of that topic uses that to dictate his obvious bias against Marvel movies, he doesn't use that as a genuine guidance. Stop being dense now.

I dont really care if a specific individual uses a low review score to not watch a movie and neither should you

The issue isn't the score. The issue is people using the score for their obvious already made up bias and dictating their choices rather than using what they're meant for, a guidance. Stop trying to derail.

Grouped review scores are worthless IMO. I find it better to find a reviewer who seems to have a similar taste as you and how they like it. For example, FO76 got so much hate when it came out for various reasons. But one of the LP'ers I watch seemed to be having a blast with it and put like 50 hours of so of play up on youtube. So I gave it a shot and had a lot of fun with it myself. Just going of general review scores, I never would have found a game that I ended up sinking about 200 hours into before moving on to something else.

The ball is round, the game lasts 90 minutes. That's fact.
Everything else, is theory.

Review scores from faceless critics and the review aggregators that collect their scores are dumb.

Genuine reviews from people who's tastes you know and trust are valuable and informative.
