So a lot of games came out lately…a lot of good games at that — but I was curious as to what percentage of those games were purchased on the merit of the review scores associated with it.
A famous actor from Starship Troopers has showered praise on Helldivers 2 and said he is open to the idea of playing General Brasch.
VGChartz's Evan Norris: "Is Ocarina of Time as legendary as I remembered it? For the most part, yes. In spite of a handful of missteps — a few obtuse puzzles, some tedious backtracking, and a clunky stealth sequence — I don't believe the last 23 years have been unkind to it. Ocarina remains a brilliant example of the medium, a landmark game that shaped the future of its own franchise and 3D gaming in general. After more than two decades it retains its inventive dungeon design, challenging puzzles, dynamic combat, wistful storyline, unforgettable music, and empowering open-air freedom. I feel confident calling it one of the greatest games of the fifth generation, even if I'm no longer prepared to list it among the five best games ever made."
Pure unadulterated fun. They don't make them like this anymore...especially not the triple A industry.
Back when video rental was a thing, I rented out Majoria's Mask, I never finished it though. I did buy the 3DS version before the eshop shutdown, so maybe one day I'll finally play through the whole thing, it's amazing how well these games hold up though. I briefly played Ocarina of Time for a while and it was really fun.
Game Rant participates in the Megaton Musashi World Cup, checking out the game a little bit beforehand and winning the first round match.
Nah. Even if Super Mario Galaxy averaged a perfect 10 on Metacritic..I KNOW that its not the type of game I'd be interested in.
I get games if I am interested in them or like the series or genre. I didnt like oblivion of Fallout 3 so I know I won't I like Skyrim and Fallout NV. I liked uncharted 2 so I knew I would like Uncharted 3
to a certain exstent, but a review is only one persons opinion so I will usually rent if I'm not sure about the game.
I don't literary RELY on them. Reviews only make a huge impact in my decision if I'm interested in getting a game that I'm not too sure about getting. L.A Noire for instance was a game that I was interested in, but after reading a several reviews I ultimately decided not to get it. On the flip side, the reviews for Batman Arkham City made me purchase the game.
Games like Uncharted 3, GTA5, Final Fantasy versus 13, and The Last Guardian are games that I got/will get day one regardless of reviews because I either like the series or respect the developers making the game.
I'm all for making my own decisions but at $60 a game, my making my own decision can be a costly mistake.
I learned this the hard way when I decided to ignore reviews and purchase DBZ Raging Blast 2 and Spider-man 3. I regret doing that.
