    Do people not read reviews before buying games? When I was a kid I’d want games based on the box art. Now I read what the game is about.

    The naming conventions they’re using are still bad, though.

      The only reviews I trust these days are Steam, Steam Brigades, and Video Game Dunkey. I have to assume everyone else at this point is on payroll. How many 10/10 did Starfield get? Cyberpunk 2077? Wild Hearts? Wo Long? Dragons Dogma 2?

        Side note: I went to metacritic to see what Starfield got from reviews. One of them gave it a 5/5 100% rating, but the opening sentence is “Starfield isn’t a perfect game.” Come on guys what do you think 100% means?

        But anyway, yeah, I mostly look at user reviews before buying.
