I don't think a review score has ever dictated a purchase from me nor did I ever care.

Personally, I almost never buy day-1 games unless I know it's from a good dev such as Elden Ring so that's about the only thing I ever feel confident for.

Depends on what it is. I almost bought a computer that somebody said died on them in 20 days. Negative reviews are the only review worth reading unless it's a food product,

Negative reviews grossly skew the overall sentiment of the product. So according to some random on the internet, YOUR computer would die in 20 days too? And whats his story? Is he some grand authority?

Honestly a lot of bonuses for game dev's and the people who work on them rely on Metacritic average as an incentive to make the game the best it can possibly be.

For dev's I care about I want their games to review well so the employee's get more money!

When you want to use a line so bad, even an obvious joke will do. You're different and better than everyone, bro. That's what half your topic are about.

There's the well known story of Fallout New Vegas devs getting screwed out of a bonus because of 1 metacrtic point. I don't know if that's still a thing today though.

https://www.gamespot.com/articles/obsidian-denied-bonus-over-new-vegas-metacritic-score-studio-head/1100-6366337/

As for the topic, yes reviews should be taken into consideration before buying.

The real problem is now-a-days people don't use reviews as a sort of guidance to a product. Rather people use them to validates their already made opinions. Either way it's not a good thing IMO.

Everyone wants to act like they know everything and yet they kowtow to reviews. You can't be the smartest person in the world and then let people make your decisions for you.

Even the smartest person in the world needs to defer to others, so it's probably a good idea if the rest of us do, too.

I was going to buy MK1 for the Switch until I saw the reviews and the videos showing just how fucked up it looked and ran. So now I wont buy it.

But if you personally like something, it really shouldnt matter if others dont. If we all agreed on everything this world would be boring.

Ive never really paid much attention to reviews. If Im looking for something specifically then I might check a review out. Just always seemed silly to me to trust someone that might have the exact opposite taste as me.
