This too. I love always seeing the disparity between the paid off review sites whose way of revenue depends the same people they are reviewing, and the user reviews. Always trust user reviews.

Never trust "user reviews", especially on Metacritic. There is someretardedshit that happens there.

If you want to trust any reviews - find a reviewer (or reviewers) who consistently aligns with your view point on games. That's generally the "best" way to do it. Likewise, peer reviews from people whom you trust and generally agree with is another good way.

Eurogamer is my favorite source for reviews. They aren't 100% perfect. But they're good. Real good most of the time.

I believe you, it's just funny that you linked the out of place review supporting a Playstation Exclusive title in a thread where you've been shilling PS4 non-stop.

It's seriously coincidence. I will take a screenshot of my browser and write a diary entry of exactly what happened from the moment I woke up if you need it.

And I'm not "shilling" the PS4. I just like it and believe that great shit is coming for it and it's really fun to be part of a console launch. I am EXCITED and rather easily excitable.

Honestly knack is exactly what I thought it would be, a mindless game I can play co-op with the kid. Will most likely pick up the lego one also. Knack seems to be geared to kids by the way they handle the co-op.

Being excited for a game or console is shilling now. You must equally hate on every game, advise spending $400 on a new graphics card, and buying a console is complete heresy.

When did this place turn completely hipster?

I hoped it would be a little better, closer to a 7. Maybe it'll trend upward as more come in, there's only 17 reviews on it right now and generally games get around 40. I didn't expect greatness, but I hoped for some mild fun.

Lego is a good choice, it's gotten pretty good reviews and looks fun. I might exchange Knack for that or Need for Speed. Not sure how easy it is to send stuff back to Amazon (never had to before) or how easy it would be to just drop it off at Walmart for an exchange.

There is a big difference between being excited and being a RSSean feed for a gaming company.

Walmart is really easy except for the part of having to actually go in a Walmart.

Seriously, fuck that bullshit. I'm a positive person who gets excited about gaming and always will be. Fuck these old people-hipsters and their negative nancy crap.

Amazon is easy. They send you your replacement before receiving yours and will only charge if they haven't received it in 30 days

Yeah, going into one sucks. Seriously though, can I just like, take an unopened game up to Returns or something and swap it or what?
Click to expand...
Yes. "It was a gift". The people there don't give a flying fuck and could give a shit. You will get store credit, which is just fine for what you want to do.

Walmart, for several years, has accepted returns without a receipt, even though many of our competitors require receipts for all returns. Walmart gives customers the option of a cash refund (if the purchase was under $25), a shopping card for the amount of the purchase (if it was over $25) or an even exchange for the product. Also, as applicable, we follow any manufacturer's warranties.

Yeah back in the day I had friends that would steal shit like CDs and games from stores and then return them at wal mart and get shit for free.

Walmart's had that policy for a long time

That's official policy? Never knew, reason to use WalMart once in a blue moon for me I guess.
