[soundsdreams]

i never see so much link to a YT video in comment...

[Kleerex]

It's Shill Up, what did you expect?

[Cal]

How is it clickbait when it's a review video criticizing how bad the game is? because news flash the game is bad.. Nothing clickbait about it.

[thunda]

Thats not what clickbait means

Some really brain dead people here lmao. This game looks horrible. His review is 100% based, its not my opinion, its a fact. You can't argue with a fact. People add his review here because it makes sense. What part of him is a shill?

[Kleerex]

He hated Serious Sam 4 too, and yet it turned out to be a decent game. And he hated it because some other Australian guy, Gmanlives, told him to make a hateful review. Shillmanlives surely has some influence on Shill Up.

That's why I now watch reviews AFTER I play the game. If you let some youtuber play games for you, how can you have your own opinion about a game that you haven't even played?

That word doesnt mean what you think it means

Gmanlives "told him"? When? This is news to me. I'v never considered Skill Up as a shill at all. I don't agree with him some times, but a shill? Explain plz.

thats the dumbest take ive read in a long time.

NO, a single reviewer missing the mark (in your opinion) on one review is NOT the reason to buy pruducts only to read/watch reviews later.

what you DO is that you take in SEVERAL reviews of a product from different sources to paint the picture for you. ALWAYS has been. never rely on a single source.

edit: if you value your money and time that is. if you dont, do what you want.

I only watch trailers and maybe some streams of games. If I'm interested, I buy them on Steam and play myself. If I don't like it after 2 hours, I refund it.

Too many times reviewers ♥♥♥♥ on games that I end up enjoying. I liked Cyberpunk 2077 for its immersive and detailed world, and I disliked Elden Ring for its repetitive gameplay and general lack of meaningful content besides "kill everything that moves". Yet one was hated by reviewers and the other has been praised to high heaven.

Don't trust reviews, play the game yourself.

Skill Up's Serious Sam 4 review was particularly stupid. He complained about 'dated gameplay' and compared it to freaking Tomb Raider! The 1990's one! And yet fans mostly complained that game was too different from other SS games. So which is it then?

He also liked The Last of Us 2, probably because Sony paid for the review. Avoid him!

You must waste a lot of money on ♥♥♥♥♥♥ games if you buy first and then watch reviews.

or dont live in an echo chamber of your own opinions

You don’t need to play a game yourself to know it’s bad. I watched skill ups review of the last of us part 2 and straight away knew it was a steaming pile of sh** he literally saves me money.

[randir14]

Yeah guys, stop posting that one bad review. Post other bad reviews!

Watching someone review a game and playing a game for yourself are two different types of experiences. I love The Last of Us 2 (besides the golf scene bull) and many others like it too.

You don't like it, that is fine too, but try to give a game a chance before you rely on other people's likes, dislikes, point of view.

Why would I waste money on a game when I can already tell by reviews and gameplay that the writing and dialogue is atrocious. Just because I’m not holding the controller doesn’t mean it’s going to change my opinion, that’s just being delusional.
