If Metacritic scores are now plagued by fake profile reviews, what can I trust?

Yourself.

you'reself

Sup Forums

Sup Forums

You watch streamers and decide if this game is for you.

Your mother

will die will die unless you reply to my post.

Stop buying games.

Urshelf.

Meme asides, when the truth has become blurry and even hope become a thing of the past, that's where piracy comes in.
Test it yourself, do whatever you want afterward.

wow really

Nobody. Stop trusting pleople. Life becomes a lot more fun when you assume everyone's out to get you.

Sup Forums
You should be able to form your own opinion based on shill and anti-shill posts.

Easy.

1. Watch announcement/gameplay trailer
2. Go to it's general and listen to what the fans like/dislike about it
3. Decide whether it's worth your time/money

If you're one of these old people that actually read reviews and don't just use the score to confirm your own bias, find a reviewer who has a similar taste like you. Even in the pre internet era reviews were very subjective, though no one tried to pretend otherwise.

>not knowing how to instantly tell if something is shit just at a glance

The weak die and the strong survive. If the devs are even remotely politically correct it'll be shit, if the devs have a diversity quota it'll be shit, if the devs are edgy it'll be shit, if their forum has a voting system for posts it'll be shit, if the majority of previews they show are from cinematics it'll be shit, if it's made by a company owned by or affiliated with the jew nexus that is EA it'll be shit.

christ centered gaming

please DO NOT trust Sup Forums

you will miss out on so many great games

trust nobody but yourself (and even then not always)

watch gameplay videos on youtube

read user reviews

MOST IMPORTANTLY

ALWAYS PIRATE BEFORE BUYING

ALWAYS

but make sure you buy if you like it because those developers need to eat too

name 3 games Sup Forums shits on that are good

borderlands 1
portal
saints row 4

>portal
wrong
>borderlands 1
wrong
>saints row 4
It is shit, even 3 was at least heavily redeemable.

Many of the best games I've ever played I wouldn't have played if not for Sup Forums
You can trust the anons of Sup Forums, you just need to become proficient at sifting through bullshit.

Sup Forums shits on everything because Sup Forums is not one person. if user reads a thread about a particular game at the wrong time of day, user might decide that game must suck without ever even trying it or looking at videos of it, because user just happened to look at a particular thread where "Sup Forums" was shitting on that game at that time.

Having said that:
Most multiplayer games that aren't quake or broodwar
Most indie games that aren't Risk of Rain or Cave Story
Most wrpgs that aren't Infinity Engine classics or Deus Ex

They always were user, they always were.
