Metacritic critic review averages (NEVER, ever user reviews, though) can be a useful general indicator of a game's critical reception - but bear in mind their limitations as all sites will have different review scales and meanings to various scores. If you intend to place any reliance on a review, you should always read the text, not just any resulting score.

This is a great game. Well worth it at this price :smiley:
Never user reviews? They need to be taken with a pinch of salt but they are often far more useful.

If you find them helpful yourself, that's great, but almost invariably there will be a disproportionate number of 10s and (in particular) 0s/1s from people trying to weight the average over a very niche point, or something entirely separate from the actual game.

Thanks for the repost but you're going to struggle finding this. Out of stock up here in Surrey across the South East and out of stock across the Southern area as well when I went to visit mum. I'm guessing at this price the same will be the case further North.
Plenty of stock in Argyll as always though I bet. :stuck_out_tongue:

im just glad ive always used my own opinion not some reviews that are all different and mostly full of crap. if anyone thinks a game is good buy it and play it and make up your own mind not someone else's, is all i say :smiley:.or you may miss out

Well, yes - but then, that doesn't really help if you're trying to make the decision as to whether or not to buy. :stuck_out_tongue:
Certainly, everyone who plays a game should make their own mind up about its quality, but critic reviews are generally one of the best ways to determine a game's quality prior to making a purchase decision

Ignored reviews and used my own judgement and in 21 years of (PC) games buying now I've had about 5-7 duds - which by any standards is not a bad success rate out of very literally hundreds of titles now.
* Look at the screenshots
* Look at the developer and/or publisher and think about pedigree
* Think about the genre
* Ignore anyone who thinks they know your mind better than you do
* Buy or move on

I don't doubt that that works for you, but most people will need at least some guidance when it comes to buying decisions - professional reviews can provide that,

Is this all off line inc the free add ons or do you have to play on line

Heads up that I ordered this for collection from store a week or so ago, and they eventually just cancelled my order.

Everybody try delivery, then see if it gives to you for free. If so cracking deal.
If you're of a mind to like Metacritic averages, the game (pre-DLC) has an 89 there. Have a read of this, for example: http://www.eurogamer.net/articles/2014-11-11-dragon-age-inquisition-review
