Guys and Girls i usually don't rant but this round i do. I want to rant about current video game reviews such as game informer and many others. Firstly a couple things I have noticed...
1. Game Informer and many other reviewers rate the mainstream and top selling games high even if they are a pile of crap or the same thing with 1 addition this time around (sports games im looking at you).
2. The Indie and Hidden Gems are very rarely recognized even if they have a multi million selling rate and fanbase
and lastly the reviews are biased and many a time do not go indepth to all the features but cover the ones they dislike/like.
Now i rant about this because many a people rely on reviews to buy a game and not their own likes and dislikes. this means many games are being unnoticed because they got rated bad or never got a rating. For instance the newest Alice and Duke Nukem got horrid ratings yet when i played them i had a blast. now your like Jon you play all games so you don't count.
Well i may play all games but i know one i can enjoy and one i dislike with every fiber of my being. For instance i dislike many a sports games yet i see 8's and 9's with every single one in the review. so i don't go near them even though im recommended them by people who say "It got a good review so therefore it must be good". And lo and behold I try them and guess what...I still hate them...
Just Remember reviews aren't everything and try a game before dissing it because of a bad review...
