Does anyone else despise Video.Game.Reviewers?

[ChocoToken]

Does anyone else here despise video game reviewers? Ugh, I do. The only one I can somewhat tolerate is the Irate Gamer. I can actually sit through a whole video of the Irate Gamer's review, unlike the rest of Video Game Reviewers. -___-

You?

I don't usually listen to video game reviewers because they are typically unlikable. I feel they try to be funny sometimes, but just come across as a bit irritating. I'm only talking about the usual video review ones...

>reading game reviews

People sure are silly these days.

 

[cookieboy17]

I do not care for video.game.reviewers, I rarely ever read any and if I do it'd be for a game I had already owned for some time. I mean I'll take a friend's opinion every once in a while but not video.game.reviewers.

Reviews are usually an bunch of crap.

 

[ChocoToken]

I'm not talking about the people who type Video Game Reviews, I usually like those people. They are more legit, less annoying, and not overrated.

The Video Game reviewers I am talking about are those overrated, unfunny, over the top, "Actors" who records footage of themselves "discussing" and "reviewing" the game.

"I feel they try to be funny sometimes, but just come across as a bit irritating" ..Dolly, you just said what I wanted to say, without 1,000's of words.

Dolly, you just said what I wanted to say, without 1,000's of words.

Actually it was 38 words, nowhere near 1000. Also if your talking about stupid ones like homemade YouTube videos I sure hope you don't watch those to judge whether you should get a game or not.

Hahaha, smart guy. Dx ; OHH YESSS. This guy did a review on Sonic Heroes, he TRASHED that game. Sonic Heroes is a good game, he just sucked at it. And, I don't. I go on Gamestop, IGN for reviews, and I look at videos of the game for myself.

 

[SuperZambezi]

You have to remember that online reviews of video games are merely opinions of the game of that reviewer. That's why a game doesn't get one universal score but multiple scores from different sources. And when it comes to picking a review to read, I go to IGN where the reviewers there have made it their profession to review games.

 

[topper1]

I tend to read IGN's and occasionally Gamespot's reviews, but the main thing I look at is gameplay videos to decide whether to buy a game, as I can see it for myself.

 

[Amatatomba]

I'll pay attention to general scores (like Metacritic scores) to gauge the general opinion of the game, but if I was really looking forward to a game that won't deter me unless the reviews cite major problems.

 

[Snowy620]

Sonic Heroes is a good game

Stopped reading there

All AVGN does is use poop, beastility, and beer jokes to say "This game is bad".

Yeah pretty much.

But that's all he needs to do, people will watch it regardless.

 

[AegisReflector]

At least legit reviewers like The Nostalgia Critic takes a crapload of time to come up with jokes to apply to the movie he's reviewing. It's not a big "same material" fest.

 

[MLYW]

I read reviews to get a good idea about what a game is about but I read multiple ones to see if the flaws are valid or if the reviewers are just nitpicking.

 

[AegisReflector]

I have to admit, the Nostalgia Critic can sometimes be a faggot and nitpick at the most stupidest of shit.

Like in one review that covered "Ferngully", he complained about the movements of bats and fairies and tell everybody they weren't "realistic" looking. REALLY NOW? Have you seen a fairy?

And I'm one of those suckers. But I can't help it. He entertains me.


Anyway...I don't listen to video game reviews or any of that nonsense. If I wanna see how good a game is...I'll try it myself and see whether or not it sucks or is good.

But sometimes I just look at the game and already stamp it as "a waste of time".  *coughCallofDutycough*
