No, I'm simply stating that that's how the human mind works...And i work as a psychologists assistant, so I DO know a thing or two about the human mind...I wasn't saying you personally, but people in general...That's why I never read reviews or anything until after I've experianced it...For example, someone on another thread talked about how Michael Bay is directing a new Ninja Turtles movie...And in his version they are aliens, not mutants...I read this and flipped ****...And unless I remind my self to be optimistic about the new movie, my opinions will be sour because I already have the pre-convieced notion of how he fuked up my turtles...
But its a matter of personal preference really not about whether or not your opinions will be swayed because of what someone else said.
Say your afraid of Heights.
And your friends are trying to get you to go skydiving.
But one of your friends who is also scared of Heights explains to you the dangers of it.
And in the end you decide not to go.
Its not a matter of him swaying your opinion. Its about you knowing what you already like and what you do not like and forming your opinion based on your OWN personal preference.
I don't like horrible partner AI
I don't like horrible enemy AI
I don't like over the top action BS
I don't like when a story is completely uninteresting
I don't like low difficulty in my games
So if even though IGN has already warned me about the flaws in this game its not going to change my own personal preference I had BEFORE even reading that article. I already was not a fan of all that stuff happening in a game. So please don't come at me with "You let IGN influence your decision about the game" if I come back here after playing it and confirm that all those problems are indeed in fact inside the game.
