The TAG system works surprisingly well, you can get a good idea what the game is about just by reading them. Then there's usually a trailer with some ingame screenshots. And the user reviews are usually good too. There's really no need for reviews on youtube or anywhere else. And it's showing too, because most of today's "reviews" in this industry are just advertisement. . Steam's quality control for what they host on their platform is awful. | ||

or maybe books that were so poorly edited that they have obvious spelling and grammatical mistakes? I mean just avoid the shit. If you don't know what is shit, you have game reviewers for that. | ||

If only there was some kind of network where you could look up reviews and videos for these products before purchasing... | ||

If only there was some kind of network where you could look up reviews and videos for these products before purchasing... Someone should really open a website and call it something catchy. Like Game Place. Or Massive Explosive Device. Or just make a place where their are literally thousands of videos saved that you could review to see if a game is worth your time. Or a site where you could see the game streamed live and get commentary by the person playing it. If only had these things, we would be the most informed consumers of all time and never buy a bad game again. | ||

But anyway, I said: "When I took this picture, my goldfish was on fire. It was distracting, that's why the picture is bad." And he asked if I was cooking fish or something I don't know guys, I am done. I tried my best. | ||

Besides, what idiots buy other games when u can just play dota? :3 Its such a dumb argument, because they can't all be on the take and providing fake reviews. And that is the most short sighted business plan of all time. I get that there are concerned with specific sections of video game reporting, but saying it is the "entire industry" is just a lazy argument. | ||

Did you give him cocaine and he was going wild in the bowl? | ||

It's like the "Sec my cat's on fire" dota pause excuse. As obviously bullshit as possible. With the intent of being amusing. | ||

Guess I should have said "koreans take everything so literal" even when it's somewhat easy to understand I am not serious instead of sarcasm t_t | ||
