I ask this question sincerely, with no sarcasm. Speaking for myself, I don't trust any source to suggest to me what I will or won't enjoy. I don't care about what other people think of a game over what I personally do once I play it. If I play it and like it or not, then I know, and no one knows me better than me. I have played games no one has ever heard of, enjoyed them, and never looked up their score on Metacritic or looked up a 'professional' review of it. If I like something, that's good enough for me and I don't need justification.
Now, back to the question, I know some people who mainly buy the 'popular' games. highly rated games on commercial sites, or games that their favored critics recommend almost exclusively. If I may ask, WHY do you base your game choices that way? I'm not arguing or saying its wrong, I just question the preference.
