Please don't post on this thread if you're just gonna say you don't care what critics say about a game
Death Stranding has made me wonder about this rare phenomena: Those rare highly-anticipated games that has a near decidedly split in positive and negative reviews/word-of-mouth from game critics.
How kind of reaction does that get out of you? Does it make you want to try the game even more? Does it just turn you off from playing it as if it's critically panned?
Personally this makes me more intrigued than any sweeping high scores. How about you?
EDIT: To be specific I mean games with both really positive and really negative reception. There's a difference between a game with a mixed metacritic score because the majority of reviews said it was okay but not amazing versus a game getting a score like they because there are publications giving it both extremely high scores and middling-to-low scores as well.
