That wizard came from the Moon [Official Destiny]

yeah tec kind of nailed it lol, also if you just look at a metascore and use that as your basis you're kind of a moron. find a handful of reviewers whom share similar tastes and interests to you and follow their opinions more closely and couple that with your own research, duh.

also ffxv has a metascore of a low 8 anyway, which is probably fair. at that range of course a decent chunk of people will just find it to be garbage; personally i'd give it like a 7.5 as it had its moments but the story was just dookie.

can't speak on horizon as i havent had a chance to play it yet

find a handful of reviewers whom share similar tastes and interests to you and follow their opinions more closely and couple that with your own research, duh.

there's an extremely basic formula to using reviews wisely

• open metacritic page for game of interest

if:

• score < 80

then:

• close page and never look back

else if:

• score ≥ 80

then:

• glean handful of random reviews from reputable sources for general information about strengths and weaknesses and noteworthy points regarding title in question

if:

• strengths > weaknesses sufficiently to justify current retail price of game

then:

• buy game

else if:

• strengths > weaknesses insufficiently to justify current retail price of game

then:

• wait for adequate price drop

else if:

• strengths < weaknesses

then:

• close pages and never look back

and that's how you use metacritic strictly to your advantage each and every time

it's a very useful tool for saving time/money/frustration that would otherwise be wasted on garbage games

anyone who hates or shuns metacritic simply doesn't know how to use it, or enjoys having their time and money spent foolishly, or both

idk man i'm looking at http://www.metacritic.com/browse/games/release-date/available/ps4/metascore?page=1 and there's quite a few games i loved that i wouldn't have gotten to play because of that first conditional statement

[spoiler]and i unconditionally wait for sales [/spoiler]

[Kalahari Inkantation]

you can adjust the given parameters to suit your budget of time/money/patience

in general, 80 works for my allocated gaming budget of time/money/patience

i own very few games that are exceptions to the first conditional, but i do acknowledge that indeed there are a tiny handful of exceptions

[Kalahari Inkantation]

[spoiler]and i unconditionally wait for sales [/spoiler]

my conditions are just really strict

for the vast majority of otherwise good games:

strengths > weaknesses insufficiently to justify launch price of game

therefore, i almost always wait, unless it's both great and either a special edition or expected to be rare or smth

[YPrrrr]

wait4reviews before even considering it

I mean unless you liked the first one

also
>still trusting reviews in 2017

I did that for FFXV and it was trash
same with Horizon Zero Dawn

How is Horizon Zero Dawn trash?

I still liked it alright, it got better as the updates came out. Still didn't like the always online. It was nowhere near the hype. I only have internet on my phone so I didn't get to play it a lot or any of the multiplayer. I hadn't played it much after the first year because of my internet situation.

I haven't kept up with anything about Destiny 2 at all. But Ia week or two ago I did get it for $12($10 something because of a code) from humble bundle with their monthly sub thing. I just need to order a bigger hard drive so I can try and download it. I still only have phone internet though, but I have a bigger allotment.

Also, Halo was better. I think bungie really needed Microsoft cracking the whip on them. Either that or they really didn't need to team up with Activision. At least as far as the first one goes.

Overall I still had fun.

And the pricing scheme for new content seems abysmal

Out of curiosity, why?

and i personally think the blame lies entirely with bungie, i have no reason to believe activision is at fault here

even if activision deserves some of the blame, bungie should have and would have known exactly what to expect when contracting with them lol

amazing, in separating from m$ft bungie killed both halo and its very own reputation lol

it's like accidental mutually assured destruction

[spoiler] I only paid $120 for everything at least [/spoiler]

mostly money. But I have an unlimited plan and a 20 gb hotspot. So it's alright. And I usually just tether my phone to my pc and it works alright.

[C.Mongler]

[YPrrrr]
