discussion Do ratings affect whether you download a game?

[User_67502]

I think having good preview images amd tags are more important for me personally, someone might have very different taste and rate it higher/lower then you think it's worth

If a game has a 3 star or below rating with more than 1 review then I will deeply question if it is worth my time playing, but if there is only one review then it could just not be someones cup of tea.

 

[Seo In-guk]

For my part, I don't see the ratings, I only see three things, labels, version number and sometimes I ask if it is that good or the ntr is avoidable

 

[abooksigun]

I usually looks at the rating.
But most of the time the games with high rating I find them boring, too many genres together and a few scenes of each.
I prefer more when a game is more focused on one genre only

 

[Pantherdox]

I try to read them, sometimes the reviewers just say that they just don't like the kind of gameplay it has.

 

[xatfx]

No, I don't look at the ratings or comments.

 

[itisjj]

They play into my inherent tastes.

The only thing that effects if i download a game are the places its ported to. mega, gofile and work upload are the ones i trust the most. other than that ill download most stuff just so long as its not too extreme.

I don't much care about ratings. I'm more interested in accurate tags and decent preview images. Like don't put a loli tag if they are all 6 feet tall with watermelon tits in the previews.

A high rating does not mean it is a game I will like .. but a low rating means it is nearly certain to be a game I wont like.

Most of the time I skip games with less than 3 .. unless there has been a personal recommendation to try it or something else to make me overlook the rating.

Somewhat, but I’m willing to just try stuff on a whim sometimes

 

[Jakeisone123]

Anything less than 2.5 usually not interested

 

[JulianK]

Only if there are a moderate number of ratings. If it's just a couple ratings I won't put a lot of stock in it, but I'll pay a bit more attention if there are 10+ ratings.
Even still, it's more about the content. If it looks interesting I'll give it a shot.

IMO, 2 or lower with at least a few reviews I'll probably pass on, even if the genres are in my strike zone. 3 and above, if the genres match up and the screenshots catch my interest, I'll give it a try. Above a 4, unless the genres are not my thing, I'm willing to download.

That being said, there's several 4-5 star games that just didn't click with me and got dropped, sometimes multiple times. And I've taken a shot on some under 2 games that I ended up having a blast with. Just have to remember that everyone's tastes are a little different.

 

[Mr_Ozzo]

No not at all, tastes are so varied that some one can rate a game 10/10 just becaus it has a few sceenes with a feetish they like. Normi games i care even less since professional rewers are 99% payed for and user rewies are to easily swayed by "influencers"

 

[livelyfish]

Sometimes they do, but if it's something I'm already interested in anyways the ratings mean less.

 

[Puffnstuff]

Yes.

 

[Johngawn61]

I usually have to at least check out the pics, tags and maybe some comments even if the reviews are low. People give 5 stars to games because they are written without typos it seems with AVN games, then praise the story even though it's shit imo.

 

[sitrukpc]

A low rating with lots of reviews will affect if I download a game. A game with a low rating with a small amount of reviews will cause me to wait and see. Also I don't take reviews of the first couple releases into consideration.

 

[PervyGod]

If the ratings are low then i will check the reviews. If game has lots of problems that people complain against, then i usually skip the game, if those issues are something i care about.
