discussion Do ratings affect whether you download a game?

I never look at ratings. I just look at tags and pictures. If it looks interesting, i will try it. Same with AAA games. I just look at trailers and gameplay and decide from that, if it's something i wanna play

Ratings are like 10%, Screenshots the other 90%, honestly if it doesn't have preview screenshots of the game, not playing it

sort by ratings, but comments are what matter.

I don't look at ratings. I find it to be a poor metric as it doesn't account for taste. Some of my favorite games have mid/low-ratings.

Opposite can be true. Some games deserve a way lower rating than they have (not naming specifics). I suppose h-scenes alone can carry a game enough that'll be highly rated (though this isn't always the case).
