Is anyone even reading reviews?

You're just someone trying to justify that you spoiled a large portion of the game for yourself.

I (and many people who know not to read reviews for games such as these) are obviously just more perceptive than people like you.

My advice is also great advice for every gamer. As long as you're not a functionally illiterate nonce you'll easily be able to tell what sort of game something is by just a few words. You shouldn't need entire reviews to tell you if you'll like the game or not. Make up your own mind without outside influence. The experience will always be better that way

I feel sorry for people like you that ruin games for themselves and put so much weight in other people's opinions. You'll forever only follow trends and never actually have an original thought process.

Hi, I sometimes read reviews to get a better impression of how a game plays/performs or find out more about a game that hasn't been widely publicised and I can unequivocally say it hasn't ever negatively affected my experiences. How would you suggest one makes their mind up if not by researching and looking at reviews? By basing their decision on marketing?

As for illiterate nonce, my bookshelf is, at a glance, filled with a range of reading from Homer and Milton, to summer blockbusters like The Passage.

Don't let reality get in the way of your superiority complex though.
