Why do you keep recommending games / asking for recommendations? it's a waste of time

>No two people have the same tastes; one person's masterpiece is another's unplayable garbage.
>If you know yourself well enough you know which games you're going to like
>There is enough information on the internet to find if a game is worth playing or not (ignoring videogame journalists, of course)
>If you recommend a game to someone and that someone dislikes it, that someone will attack the threads about said game and raid its metacritic score, regardless of the game deserving it.

because people are sheep and like being told what to enjoy

In the vain hope that one can make a connection with another through our shared hobby, and that we can appreciate it together rather than spending all of our time screeching at each other over meaningless transgressions.

Why do you interact with any other human being in any context outside what's absolutely necessary for survival if you don't share the exact same experience? Why waste your time interacting if your views are guaranteed to be different? Could it be that discussion with those of a different view from your own helps you shape your own thoughts as you consider them? Never post on this board again you turboautist

Learned this after recommending Pyre to a co-worker. The game is basically a visual novel mixed with a sports game. Found out my co-worker doesn’t read and skipped most of the dialogue. Recommendations just help you lose faith in others

kill yourself sensitive tr*nny faggot

>No two people have the same tastes; one person's masterpiece is another's unplayable garbage.
People have similar tastes, it's not a 100% guarantee you'll like what they recommend but it's a better bet than just blindly listening to generic reviews
>If you know yourself well enough you know which games you're going to like
I know which new games I think are worth trying, old games don't get advertising anywhere and recommendations are the best way to find hidden gems that people similar to you like
>There is enough information on the internet to find if a game is worth playing or not (ignoring videogame journalists, of course)
You still have to find the games first
>If you recommend a game to someone and that someone dislikes it, that someone will attack the threads about said game and raid its metacritic score, regardless of the game deserving it.
No one does this

So we can discuss a game when he played it.

then why talk to anybody ever? retard

>>There is enough information on the internet to find if a game is worth playing or not
There are two problems with this statement. The first is that there is to large amount of information on the internet. A lot of gems can slip between the cracks, and asking for recs is an easy way of finding them. Secondly, you pointed it out in your own OP
>>No two people have the same tastes; one person's masterpiece is another's unplayable garbage.
Therefore a lot of the information gathered can have vastly different biases and viewpoints.
>>If you know yourself well enough you know which games you're going to like
Which means I know how to tailor my rec requests to find what I'm looking for. Besides, it doesn't hurt to branch out and try new things.
>>If you recommend a game to someone and that someone dislikes it, that someone will attack the threads about said game and raid its metacritic score, regardless of the game deserving it.
No one cares.
