After looking at the good/average reviews of Resident Evil: The Mercenaries 3D I noticed the user score was only 4.9 (it's since gone up to 5.4). A lot of user reviews were from people who hadn't even played the game and many were just complaining about the one save slot and the inability to delete your saves. I still plan to buy the game, but i've not yet as it's not quite out in England.
So people of The Escapist, what are your opinions on Metacritic and other similar websites, especially the user scores? Do they put you off buying a game, or do you try the game for yourself first? Personally, I try to ignore them but when the user score is that low it's difficult.
