Do you read reviews before playing a Video Game or Watching a Movie?

Usually no. I'll just ask my friend if it's good or maybe watch some Youtube videos of it. That'll give me a real idea of whether it's good or not, without reading a ton of stuff.

 

I usually try not to look up reviews or videos. I like making my own opinions about things I may be interested in. Sometimes reviews and such can ruin a game or movie too if there are spoilers.

 

I look up review and I watch videos when it comes to video games. I need to make sure that it is a game that I will actually play and not a stupid game that I won't ever touch again. For movies, I just ask my oldest brother, he knows everything.

 

As or games, anything that's not licensed by Nintendo, yes. Everything else can't be very trusted.

I don't watch many movies nowadays, but when I do, looking up reviews first is a must (though I don't always trust them anyway and end up giving the movie the benefit of the doubt).

 

Nope, I'll find out on my own how good it is, however if I do read a review, it can definitely influence my decision.

 

I tend to read a lot of reviews just to make sure I don't get scammed. Advertisements can make something seem absolutely necessary. However, if the reviews are bad, I know that I should stay away from that product because it probably won't work or has somekind of side effect.

 

I don't usually look up reviews for movies and stuff because I want to form my own opinion rather than a slightly biased one due to a review that I read prior.

As for products, I will, to make sure the product or the seller is good.

 

I don't watch a lot of movies anyway, so I don't look up any reviews for those in general. Video games however is a completely different story. A lot of times, I get interested in a game or game series because of the reviews some YouTubers give about it. For example, it's because of YouTube that I bought A Link between Worlds, and now I love the Zelda franchise Without those reviews, I probably would've never played any Zelda game at all.

 

I tend to be a mix, but sometimes yes. I always research into a game before purchasing, to see if it's worth it. On occasion, I go off what others say (like with Fantasy Life, thank you Ben), but generally, it's always about the research!

 

Sometimes I'll read movie review and even the plot if I haven't heard of it before, but usually for movies I'll go in blind and games I'll be recommended by a friend.

 

Nah. Just because someone doesn't like it doesn't mean I'll have the same opinion. Everyone's taste is different.
I'll check to see if the game is glitchy though.

 

If it is a movie I am not that interested in, I would read the reviews just in case I need to justify the reason why I don't want to see it.

 

I don't, i feel like it spoils too much for me

 

I do, mostly because I want to make sure I'm watching/playing something that is worth a damn.

 

No I don't really read the reviews for games or movies I tell if they're good just by playing or watching them

 

I don't pay a huge amount of attention to reviews, especially if it's a series that I know a lot about and enjoy. If I'm not sure about watching or playing something, I typically look at reviews just to see if it would appeal to me or not. I don't take ratings into consideration too much, as everyone has different preferences.
