I don't check major review outlets, but I do check some smaller or independent reviewers from time to time. All in all it rarely has an effect on my decision to purchase

 

[Simon]

Not really. Sometimes I pull up "review" videos just to see how the game plays, but generally am not paying attention to what's being said.

If its a story game if it has a intresting plot ill just play it, but if Its a multiplayer game then ill look at reviews on it before purchasing. I always look at reviews and issues with anything before buying, so itll last me longer

I don't usually listen to reviews that much, I'm more of a, Play it myself and see how I think of it, type of person

 

[Boyle]

Absolutely, I won't buy a game with major bugs. When it is ready to go, I am ready to go.

Same, unless I do the unholy thing, and download a car.

i usually will watch game review on youtube or check steam reviews, but if its a steam sale im usually much more willing to buy without research

 

[Elbow Removal Service]

I do not. I rarely get a game from reviews of any kind. I mostly get games on a recommendation basis.

Ditto. When you hear the news firsthand on any server and it's good that's the time.
