Comment Sad but not surprising... (Score 1) 840
I personally don't care about reviews. It's always made me laugh a little. "Yes, I want to know what other think about said movie, game, etc. so I can determine if it's going to be enjoyable to me." I've watched movies or played games that absolutely bombed the review sites but I absolutely loved them. If I solely relied on reviews before I played a video game or watched a movie, I'd have far more time for cleaning the house, doing dishes, mowing the yard, etc.
I've personally started avoiding reviews for movies I haven't watched or games I haven't played. If I talk to a friend who's played/watch said product, I'll listen and find out what they truly loved/hated about it but review sites... pass until I try it for myself.
When I read this article, it made me sad that there are people out there like this. They seem to get some relief by trashing a product. It doesn't matter if the product is any good or has value to another person. There's too many comic book movies, lets trash this movie. This game wasn't made on my preferred video game console, let's trash it. It's just sad to see.
