Feel free to replace “friends” with “anyone you know in real life” or even online groups you trust or are close with.

“They”:

WOM marketing is highly effective as 88% of consumers trust friend recommendations over traditional media.

and my own personal experience; most games I have bought in the past 10 years have been off of recommendations from r/gamingsuggestions before Reddit went to crap and Lemmy came into existence; and even moreso when it is a personal friend recommending things to me.

Mods, feel free to nuke if this feels too close to advertising or better-suited for [email protected] (my own community); I mean it more as a discussion piece but I don’t run the place.

EDIT: The “not” in the title is optional; I’m asking about both successful and failed recommendations.

      This was years ago so I’m not sure, but I remember I got to a sand planet.

      There’s a 21-hour full playthrough on YT by a channel called Lacry, I got to hour 8~9.

      I watched all the Star Wars movies and I actually enjoy them, but I’m not a die hard fan so a lot of the lore was not interesting to me. My biggest issue was the combat though: it did not grip me at all.

      I prefer much faster paced games overall.

      If the announced remake is a fast-paced action game, I may give it a shot.
