Did you mean "I know, and it bugs me too. But F 'em"? (meaning you misspelled "to" and wanted it to mean "also")
Or did you mean "I know, and it bugs me to Butt F 'em"? (as in you misspelled "but" and er... uh...) :-)
If it's the first, and that it bugs you also, yeah, I agree. Bugs me too.

This hobby isn't cheap and I simply cannot afford my time or money to buy and play games that are just okay.

Ok that's fine. I agree the hobby takes $$$ and spending money on crap games isn't the way to go.
I guess I wonder if the Jaded attitudes have some of you missing out on great games?

. I don't own a GC yet, but hey, somebody's machine had to be my 3rd choice in this round of console wars. This time was Big N's turn, in large part because of the debacle that was the N64.The only good games I feel I miss out on are the over-priced ones, and even then I only miss out until the prices drop. When I do get around to the GC, there will be lots of great games for it at a price I feel comfortable paying. Until then I have plenty to keep me busy, as I have a half-dozen games for my much-played PS2 and my increasingly-played XBox that I haven't even opened yet.
If you want honest opinions of games by people who have played them, I recommend www.gamerankings.com . Since this site was pointed out to me on this forum, I don't feel ripped-off by any game I've played. I've been able to get an accurate idea of whether a game was any good or not without wasting time reading the "opinions" of someone who's friend read a post on a message board that he saw a bad screenshot of the new PS2 Castlevania, so obviously the game sucks

Keep in mind that people are much more likely to take the time to bitch about something they dislike than to praise something they like on the internet.
Look at all the equipment review sites like www.audioreview.com.
If you went by them you'd never be able to buy anything because people are much more likely to get online and bitch when they have problems with something than when it works fine.
With games, some people are probably more likely to post and bitch when they spent $50 and hated a game, than when they are happy with it.
I think the regulars here do both, because they're hardcore and want to talk about games they play, whether they like them or not. The lurkers on the otherhand, seem to only post when they hate something or totally love it. Obviously news threads and what not excluded.
