Fable II Pub Games. I don't even know why they rated it like it was a regular game. Anyway, I have fun with it.

Generally, no. Because my budget for games is tight, I usually will not spend my money on something that gets low scores across the board.

I will however buy a game that gets an average or sligtly mediocre score if it looks appealing and I get the feeling that reviewers are selling it short.

Well not "low" scores. But many games that get 6s I have loved. Killzone, Diddy Kong Racing and Fire Emblem for example.

That's exactly what I said about Viking when I played it; can't believe the score Gamespot gave it. I read the review and the guy was way way off. It just sounds like he was playing a different game.

Also agree about the Fable 2 pub games.

Viking is truly a great game, and severely underrated by most places.

That said, bad review scores usually keep me from buying on release day, mainly because bad reviews usually mean that i'll be able to get the game used pretty cheap within a few weeks of the release. Poor reviews never keep me from playing a game im interested in eventually though.

yea, sometimes, if the game looks appealing. but i do rent some things randomly as i get free rentals.

anyhow, I bought it like 2 months ago and I must say, this game is freaking awesome.


Seriously. If you like Dragonquest, DragonBall Z, or fun-loving animes at all, you owe it to yourself to get this game. If I had to rate it numerically, I'd give it a 9.2.

I did rent Viking for the record though. It's an okay game, but it drags on after a while. Id say that it's a 6.3

I think these two games are really addictive, despite their bad scores.

Only if it's a Critical sleeper like the Viking game you're talking about. If you look around the forums you'll see that many people that got that game actually enjoyed it quite a bit. Folklore for the PS3 and Godfather:Blackhand Edition for the Wii are another two games that were under-rated by Critics.

I play games that I like, scores mean nothing to me. Out of all the current gen games that I have played, I've more enjoyed the titles that have scored between 8.0 and 8.9 here on Gamespot than those that have scored above 9.0.

Really enjoyed:

Dead Rising
Mass Effect
Devil May Cry 4
Forza Motorsport 2

Really didn't enjoy:

Halo 3
Call of Duty 4
Gears of War
GTAIV

I don't think I ever purchased a game based on the score, I just watch the gameplay videos and look up what features the game has before I decide to buy.

It depends on what it was rated down for. Dull story but fun action means I'll probably buy. Poor performance and frustrating controls and I may skip. Generally, though, poor reviews means that I may wait until it finds its way into the bargain bin, and then I may pick it up. I also want to hear what (arguably) a better review board has to say about things - the people who actually play the games in their homes.

Yeah. Since quite a bit of GC, N64, and PS1 games that scored in the mid 6's and low 7's are some of my favorites, sure....

Depends. Say the games gets like a 6/10 or even a 5. Like Two worlds on most sites, even though it got such a low score in most places I had already done my research on the game and it looked quite fun and interesting. I decided to get it and it was well worth it and I really enjoyed the game. But say the game gets like a 2 out of 10 or the reasons for the score are very valid I probably will not get it.
