Reviewers (legit ones) essentially only gives reccomendations, insight on the products, but in the end it's up to us (the consumers) to buy it or not.
In some cases scores doesn't mean shit. Examples: we know FF Dirge of Cerberus overall sucks and reviewers gave it a crappy score, but still it sells because of the "ff" brand. Western reviewers gave Lost Remnant average till shitty scores but being an avid jrpg gamer like I am, and the Squeenix franchise, I still went ahead and buy it, and enjoyed it for the gameplay and quests. We know overall Star Wars the Force Unleashed sucks and reviewers gave it overall average score, but still ppl buy it and it becomes a hit because hey, it's 'star wars'.
Sometimes it's the brand and franchise that matters lol.
