On Reviews

Find reviewers who agree with your tastes, and who like the things you enjoy. Follow them. Ignore the metacritic-like sites.

This is especially useful for games. Which is why it boggles my mind when people get upset at reviewers. Reviewers are not reviewing for everyone. Rather, they are reviewing for their readers. It's okay to disagree. It just means this persons tastes are different for yours.

The problem is people forgot how to use reviewers, and instead, just see them as weapons in a the game of "highest metacritic score."

It's silly.

Find the reviewers you agree with most of the time. Find several, listen to all of them, and make your judgement from that. Ignore the masses.

The problem normally lies in the fact that there is not much diversity of thought when ti comes to reviews... Most of them are in the same or select few cities, all have the same socio-economic backgrounds, all have the same political leanings, so all pretty much look at the world the same, and thus look at their entertainment the same

they are borg...

So today I have found it useful to look at bad reviews, and the worst reviews the critics have for something the more likely it is I will enjoy it...
