Except for the part that all SP games that have released this year and last year have been well received while the GasS are the shitty games who only purpose is to make the consumer tired of grinding and make them spend money. I’m glad reviews exists to keep me informed of these stupid games. I already fell for Destiny 1 and No Man Sky with the “I don’t care about what reviewers/people say” attitude... never again
A single review shouldn't really influence someone. But, generally speaking, the collective review scores should give a good representation of the quality of the game overall. However, no review, collective or otherwise can determine how someone may actually feel about an individual game.
I find word of mouth a better indicator for games which don't have all that exclusive hype wrapped around it, but I've been gaming long enough to be able to watch trailers, and read a review, and have a general idea of if I'll like the game or not. Sometimes, I'm wrong, but I'll figure that out on my own.
If you expect people to she'll out $60 for your game on day 1, then it better be worth the asking price regardless of the game model - GaaS, singleplayer, multiplayer or other. The problem is not the issue of "modern reviews", the issue is the release of broken and incomplete games at the ppint of launch. It is this practice that needs to stop.
Yeah no they aren't they are just on YouTube now and people trust people like Jim sterling and angry Joe more than the established games media its just a fact.
I rarely buy games day one anymore because of big patches, games being broken, lacking content, etc. Complete editions and sales are where it's at most of the time for me

Release a full product instead of releasing a shell and milking the shit out of it!

Are you kidding game reviews haven’t been relevant in almost a decade its all about what the games think and say about the game not the reviewers.
