This is true. Also the Saints Row Reboot sucks. To make things clear.I simply trust my own taste in games and so far it hasn't failed me.

Reviews are bought and sold these days in main stream media.
CyberpunkGive me examples where you believe the metacritic scores show the game reviews were paid for.
If you use Metacritic user scores to judge a game you might just be more retarded than game journalists
Checks out. The more reviews, the more the user score reflects how I feel about these games.
To be fair, there should only be thumbs up or thumbs down on user reviews unless they go through a screening prosess. This is mostly how users score games.I must say it's quite a fun game looking at user "reviews" for popular/unpopular games
"0/10 - mediocre"
Opencritic is a better alternative if you want a review aggregator.
I mostly use Steam reviews. Minus review bombing, they are the most accurate and honest overall.Reviews are bought and sold these days in main stream media. Most game journalist know little about gaming and should be writing for political magazines.
My criteria for good games to purchase are:
1. Myself, my own eyes.
2. Metacritic where there are thousands or millions of opinions.
Agree, disagree?
Cyberpunk has a 86 Metacritic on PC and a 57 Metacritic on PS4.Cyberpunk
Touche.Cyberpunk
True but tbf ign is getting way less political, havnt played hogwarts but they did a decent job reviewing it, think they only mentioned jk once lmaoThe key is to go to a few outlets, watch a few yt or streams and then decide, for me unless I know its something I will play, for example Destiny, Zelda or a Mario release:
I only use mainstream outlets for previews or gameplay footage these days, they're far too political or not focused on the right things these days
- Check IGN's review
- ACG if he's done one
- If Digital Foundry have a video on it before or around release
- then maybe some check out a few mins of streams of known streamers that are or come across as unbiased or more typically not being sponsored (Cohhcarnage, Elajjaz and some smaller streamers tend to be good for this)
in game battle musicThat song at 9:40 goes hard. Is that in-game music?
They didn't. They manipulated them and greased them. Withholding PS4 review codes and pushing embargo back.Cyberpunk has a 86 Metacritic on PC and a 57 Metacritic on PS4.
How much do you think CDPR bribed journalists for those scores?
I see indie games, particularly hard games and old school 2d platformers get a lot of flak. I tend to look at user score as how much/many people like certain games, and not how good the games are.I must say it's quite a fun game looking at user "reviews" for popular/unpopular games

I agree, that's one of the reasons Steam reviews are really the only ones I look at. That and you're required to actually play the game before you can leave a review.The same applies to critic scores. Numerical scores are meaningless since sites use different scales and weights. The key metric should be the percentage of reviewers who recommend the game vs trying to empirically analyze something inherently subjective.
The moment anyone can write a review on metacritic without owning the game, its the moment it became useless. The user score is just to review bomb and console war. Reason 90% os the reviews are 0/10 or 10/10Checks out. The more reviews, the more the user score reflects how I feel about these games.
I trust the stars.

It's beautiful , British gaming mags during the 90's/2000's were something special.you can trust this review
Why? You can look at previews to see if it is something you think you will like, and check aggregate reviews to make sure it doesn't have major issues. Obviously you need to verify it is not being review bombed, but overall the method is a reasonable way to filter out stinkers.Based.
Cringe.
Very true. It turns out I hate literally every game that releases. Thank god I don't have to actually play them.I only trust angry YouTubers, they let me know what I hate without having to form my own opinion.
Obviously there are user score totals that I agree to a lesser degree with but I don't fault that on individual reviews, because I view the total as a probability for me enjoying said game. Regardless of what the sites intent was with user score.

Steam user reviews are the only ones worth taking in consideration as you can even see how much time the user spent with the game.
AgreeIn my case the critics metacritic average match more with my own opinion. There are always cases where i find games overrated or underrated, but thats why i read a few resumes from various websites to make a better opinion, and dont take the numerical rating too serious.
Opencritic might be more accurate.I dont read a full game review since the PS3 gen. Been using Metacritic just to have an idea how the game has been received by the critics, then if it looks interesting to me i watch some gameplay footage and make my purchase decision based on that.
