minus-squareboonhet@lemm.eelinkfedilinkarrow-up0·8 days agoEssentially you need to find some influencers you agree with. That are willing to call out a game for being shit, too. Wait for game to be out, wait for your favourite YouTuber to review it. Read Steam reviews that aren’t oneliners or religious rants Just don’t preorder. You know what I told my friends several years ago? “Cyberpunk 2077 is the first game I’m actually considering preordering because it looks so awesome” I didn’t. And I’m glad I didn’t. I still enjoyed the game a lot, just later, after it had been patched to hell and back.
