  1. To elabourate the title, were there games which you relied on the professional critics' reviews and recommendations? This is as opposed to, say, brand name, or word-of-mouth from friends or fellow gamers. Out of these, I want to hear which of the games turned out have well-deserved or spot-on reviews. For me, it was Tokyo Mirage Sessions and Persona 4: Golden, both receiving praise from critics (particularly the latter). The former was generally well-received by critics (in contrast to the scorn of fans here), and got me curious about the game. Good thing I played the game, because it got me hooked when I borrowed it from my friend. The seemingly different elements from the two franchises being juxtaposed (particularly the medieval FE with modern Persona), the hilarity of the story, and the very fact that Atlus had balls to make such a crazy move (with Catherine being another example of a crazily-designed game) were just too good to pass up. The good experience I had with the former prompted me to check the latter. To be sure, I also checked the professional reviews and other articles related to the game, as it was my first time to play a main games of the Persona series. My opinion? This game in general, and the story, the narrative, and the moral lesson in particular deserves all the acclaim and praise it gets.
  2. As the title says above, who here reads/trust reviews from critics/reviewers before deciding to purchase a game? It can be anyone - professionals from say IGN or Kotaku, to reviewers from their Youtube channels, or even from forum members' reviews. And what were the ones that were good or otherwise? While I am not going to elaborate too much (as it is 3am local time), SuperButterBuns from Youtube was definitely one factor that prompted me to make the purchases for Persona 3 (Portable) and 4 (the other factor being playing a bit of Tokyo Mirage Sessions and loving that, no less) and her review of Catherine also solidified my decision to get Catherine: Full Body next year, and maybe FF12 some time after. While I generally get opinions from others as well, I say she's very entertaining, and goes in-depth in the reasons for recommendations.
