It feels like the only reason people here buy games is because it looks amazing or it got a 9 or a 10. Games that get 8.5 are considered garbage to you guys? Does anyone have fun anymore?

no one in system wars plays games at all, we simply argue about them.

I'll only buy a game if it scores at least a 9, and thats after a price drop. I simply don't have time to waste, nor money, on lesser games.

Do you always let other people make decisions for you? Are you able to make decisions on your own, based on your own personal preference? Just curious.

I don't normally buy games that don't get a 90 or above on Metacritic. They're too expensive nowadays and I don't have a lot of money.

Isn't choosing to do that a decision in itself?

That has zero to do with others making decisions for you, I never said letting others make decisions for you instead of using your own original thoughts wasn't a decision. I just wondered why you were incapable of choosing games based on what you liked instead of some random dude on the internet.

I tend to buy higher rated games (8.5 +) cause usually they are just plain better, BUT that is not always the case. Some of my favorite games scored relatively low. Baten Kaitos Origins anyone?

Perhaps the answer lies within this

The reasoning behind it getting a low score I would most definitely take in account because that most probably will effect my ability to have fun with the game.

It's the only reason I play. If the game scores low, I try to figure out why. And if I don't agree with their reasons or they don't affect me because of different preferences, then I'll go ahead and get it. But if their reasons sound like things I also don't like, then I'll probably skip it because there's always a deluge of other worthwhile titles.

GT5 looks like it will be bashed endlessly if it doesn't get a 9 and thats from people who don't even have a ps3 or even thought of playing the game.

It will be bashed even if it gets a 9. In fact,GT5 would probably still be bashed even if it scored a 10. :lol:

I only buy a game if it gets a 9.0 or higher. I don't have fun with any of my games though. I usually just play them for a few hours and then tell my friends how my games are superior to theirs. It makes me feel big and tough.

Games died long ago.

What we got now are graphic programs created to try and simulate photo realistic stuff as time goes on, to be more "immersed" in killing people, killing things in general, destroying stuff, etc. So They can alter the mentality of this current generation of humans into a sheep-like population of slaves.

This is just a small part of their hidden agenda. Microsoft, Sony, Nintendo, Activision, Crytek, Valve, Bioware, Square, and most other companies all are in it, and they work for Them to further the agenda and mold our mentality, selling out long ago for money and a place in this New World after the agenda is complete and the new generation looses their souls and minds completely, becoming blind fanboys and sheep people. The moderators here at Gamespot already know this, but they are not spreading the news to the masses. For they too will get a spot in this New World if they follow the agenda, yeah, that's right. Gamespot is also in it, as is IGN.

And you know what the sad part is? I'm not joking, i'm dead serious, and i urge you to listen to my warning. Need proof?

I usually agree with reviewers, but it's not like a company has never paid for a good review before.

I play games that interest me. Game like 50 Cent: Blood on the sand was fun from my view, but from critic's it was a 7/10 at best. Not saying a score doesn't come into my decision to buy a game, but I go by what looks fun or vaguely interesting to me.

Read the thread, he was sarcastic and anyone could easely check it. His avatar and sig are from a below 9 game :P

Anyway, I buy pretty much everything that interessts me and only keep playing them if I'm having fun. So yeah, pretty much only for fun
