[…] the reviews I decided to give it a miss. That was months ago. After reading an article titled Trust Your Instincts over at United We Game I decided to give this game a try. Well, I can certainly see why […]

By the way, I picked up remember me. It’s got its flaws but not bad. If I had listened to most of the reviews I would have missed what I think is a worth while adventure:-)

I’m told that GTAV is practically the best thing ever for GTA fans. So if you liked the previous games, it’s probably worth taking a look sometime. I’m not a GTA fan, so I’m not going to pick that game up despite the praise. Call me stubborn. :D

boy, am i late to this party. As soon as i read the first paragraph i knew you were right. Using Remember Me as an excellent example of a game that I have skipped over due to other reviews. I plan on going to get that game soon.

I think it’s fun to get lost in the hype. I got caught up in the GTA5 hype quite hectically and I’m not even that big a fan of the series, lol. After GTA5 came out and i saw some gameplay, doesn’t look that fantastic anymore…I love being human :-)

I hadn’t considered that. Games that get a lot of attention, whether good or bad, are nonetheless important to the industry. I suppose that having first-hand experience with them is important if you want to keep up with the trends and dialogue going on in gaming as a whole.

Exactly. Reviews and other gamers aren’t always right, you have to pay attention to your own preferences. However, you’re definitely right when you say that others’ opinions can help us find gems we may have missed. Thank goodness for that too! If it weren’t for one of my friends insisting so vehemently that XCOM:Enemy Unknown was a great game, I’d have never played it. Now I can’t put it down!

You have a point. For better or for worse, it really is fun to get swept up in it. Especially when you have group of friends to pour over all the news and rumors with! It’s just annoying when the hype ends up getting the better of you.

There are times when I let the hype lead me to a game I might have otherwise waited on or skipped. Some games are important, and I want to experience them because I love games and the industry. But I’ll definitely sell the game afterwards, and sometimes I’m not inspired enough to finish them. I try not to feel “bad” about that, just because my taste is different!

I also try to avoid reviews before I play games I was looking forward to. I really liked Remember Me too! You do have to trust your own judgment.
