so, they take issue with the fact that it counts on mc? or with the review itself?
either way...if people actually read his review, not just looked at the score, and disagreed with it, then fuck it. get passed it and move on. get the game if you want, if you were really excited for it before then bad press shouldn't dictate your entire decision

It's mostly the score. They see the score and there automatically dismissing.

Reviews for exclusives tend to bring out the worst in people.

It'll be the best game ever for a week followed by being the worst thing Remedy has ever done.
You will miss lots of great games with this way of thinking.
What's sad is that consumers place to much reliance on reviews and they can't think for themselves to whether or not a game would interest them based on the masses of gameplay and previews available.
People without a lot of money miss a lot of great games, yes.
It's not the same as hearing from someone who's played through the game and doesn't have a vested interest in its success if you're legitimately weighing a purchasing decision. You could easily dismiss post-release user impressions in a similar fashion. But if you've got the cash and are already on board due to pre-release coverage, then yeah, reviews don't serve the same purpose for that consumer as they might for others.
I understand that, I don't disregard reviews, if anything theyve got me more excited for QB. I understand waiting on reviews if your on the fence, but cancelling pre-orders or disregarding a game based on a small minority of people's opinions is ridiculous, especially if you've followed the game prior and pre-ordered based on your own opinion of available material.

Not really... They just wait till it's on sale.
This thread now.
Is this the PC or XBox One version? Looks good either way......
X1 version, PC ain't out yet
I am not questioning that, I don't have much money to spend on videogames too.
Thing is that if I am interested in a game, I'll buy it despite what reviews say. I don't let other people to judge if a game is good or not for me. It's such a sad way of thinking.

What if you happen to have similar tastes as Jeff Gerstmann and trust his reviews more. Is being circumspect ridiculous in that case too? For that matter, when is it ridiculous to be circumspect?
Well if your tastes are similar, your not always going to agree. Just base your purchase on your own opinion and not some number. It's stupid how much weight people put on reviews.
I bet Batman v. Superman wished people thought that way.
Same here, I wanted in on that bonus bundle. I won't be playing at 4k, though..
I think someone using Brandon Jones' voice to tell me that a game is awesome had something to do with getting me more interested in getting the game.
I don't see how it's sad. Video games aren't going to disappear in the immediate future, there's always time to play games later.
Just ask my backlog.

Sounds like your money would be good to go for purchase
Well considering it broke box office records and already has profitted considering it cost them a bomb to make, I bet they don't.
That was one terrible movie though.
In no way has BvS already turned a profit.

Sounds more like they would rather allocate their money towards a game with a higher scores, of which there are plenty of.54 scores of 8-10/10

Don't buy it then. It's solid, but not "the best", not even close. I'm liking it a fair bit so far though.
Now I'm curious, what were the last games you bought? What's "the best" for you?
It's only a quick Google away...

It cost them just over 500M to make.
Marketing was 300 mil, they need to reach 800 mil for it to break even across the board.
Studios don't get 100% of the gross, no where close.
Ah cheers for that.
Man am I glad that these guys are back. <3<3<3
Actually, as a correction (I went back and looked through old articles) that budget of around 500 mil is the cost with marketing, give or take, it's just that the studio doesn't make back the full amount in theaters, so the gross for BvS to be break even would have to be about 800 mil.
Well, my original point was in reply to someone referring to Batman vs Superman and its reviews in relation to tickets. It's clearly doing well.
I read they need to clear 1 bill for the movie to begin any sort of success.
I think it depends on the age of the consumer. I haven't put much stock in a review since I was 14yrs old. I agree with your other point about watching gameplay trailers and previews. If I listened to critics I wouldn't be enjoying as much shit as I do now.

Where's the Giant Bomb review? Banner is misleading.
Well you know how that goes...
1 bil is the goal for the studio, according to leaks.
Not sure if it'll get there.
Studios can get over 75% of the cut during the opening week. The bigger the anticipated opening, the more leverage the studio has for a large week 1 split. As the run goes on, the split starts to favor the theatre.
I'd say that despite the critical panning, the movie will turn a profit, all things considered.
To address the original point
'Batman v superman' is a terrible example to support the idea that weak reviews will have a major impact on a games ability to sell.

I'm starting to think twice about this after Giant Bomb's review.
I have disposable income but I'm starting to doubt this is worth my time, much less my money.

Dammit, I was going to do that.
That is why I said "circumspect". It is okay to buy this game (or any other game that you are not too sure off) at a discount.
