I'm following PC Gamer and Kotaku.
Would you recomend other ones..? Post here:

Why? To hear some douche with a British accent talk shit about every game he plays?

well, some people prefer to hear the British douche talk shit about every game they play... others just go to RPS and read every John walker's article.

I suppose you can just go the route of an average consumer and lap at the balls of every single sequel released instead.

I'd maybe follow personal friends whom i know share my tastes, that's about all its good for in my eyes. Especially noting that totalbiscuit actually recommended DRAGON COMMANDER!!!

I would never follow TB as a curator despite watching his videos simply because he doesn't like genres I like. Unless you are able to find someone with the exact same taste in games, you're only going to get recommendations for games that don't interest you with the occasional interesting game, which might already be on your wishlist. Therefore I see it as a completely useless feature and I'm not going to follow anyone.

The same goes for Steam's recommendations as well. If it's a game I think I would like, it's already on my wishlist.

I would love if people could follow my curation: http://store.steampowered.com/curator/6859093/ . It is a community-based one, in that it is filled with recommendations by more than one person (all of us who play indie games)

Great, so after having to avoid those 3 brit trashes on youtube now steam just shits them down my throat with this yet again useless feature. GG valve, G fucking G. Not to mention the sjw army camps that will surely show up on every single game I visit.

Let's see how long it takes them to give us the option to not include those stuff. (Hopefully before Half-Life 3 comes out...)
I like Jim's videos and even TotalBiscuit sometimes has good-ish ones... but those are their videos about the gaming industry, they are their own people with their own tastes in games. This feature is beyond useless- you know better than any "curator" what games you'd like the most and there are already reviews to point out which games are flat out bad in order to avoid trash. Unless you find someone who is your exact copy, I would suggest remaining skeptical about this feature.

Just how much bribing for recommendations is this gonna cause? <.<

I have been reading the reviews of the so-called "curators" over the last 5 months.

Those people are amateurs, have no idea on how to create a proper review and yet they call themselves "professional" gamers. The random reviews i read are 10 times better than theirs. I still can't figure out why people like them, honestly!

Their reviews miss all the main points i wanna read like which are the pros, the cons, the limitations, the time someone can spend on the game, the separate evaluation of every part of the game (graphics, gameplay, sound, story, fun, uniqueness) and the list can grow longer depending on the review! Their paragraphs are wrongly separated, their sentences lack of point, they only wish to sound (idk how to say it) cool (?) but they always manage to sound irrelevant with gaming and unable to create even a small, worthy review.

For me it's pathetic (yeah, i said pathetic) to follow or even support these large groups/channels/websites. There are guys who write reviews on almost every game they play and yet their reviews are much better than the ones the "curators" create! EDIT: they don't belong in any "curators" group, they do it for their fun. Today, the web is full of "Mr. i-know-everything" (while in fact they don't know a s**t) and these "curators" groups are a great example of that.

I prefer a separate breakdown for the individual aspects of the game as a means of highlighting either the very good or very bad parts of a game. Limited gameplay, but great story and amazing soundtrack (LA Noire). Graphics unfit for a cell phone game, but the best controls of the generation (The Godfather: Blackhand Edition).

A game is absolutely more than simply a sum of its parts, but it can help to break it down into its key elements. The tricky part about scoring all games with the same system is that some parts of most games are simply unremarkable, but not bad.

Those curators have become a huge trend I fear. Even on YouTube. You do not really find critics anymore. Critics, from criticize. Most curators repeat the points others have brought up. Hypes will most likely hyped more. And those amateurs steal followers of professinals, who do not speak the word everybody speaks. They only make cool comments or cool videos about a game.

"Let's plays" are even the same. They hype the games they are playing, even if they suck, just for the subscribers or followers. Everygame becomes cool looking. This way, many people get tricked into buying early access games that will never last. The influence those amateurs have is huge, really huge and if you ask me, its hurting the video game industry. Flaws, especially are only mentioned if most people mention them. Otherwise, they are excused. Thats the reason why future games will have the same flaws as todays game, because this stuff sells.

The curators thing is what annoys me the most in the new steam shop. Today I was even confronted with a disguised referral link in one curators "review".

To be honest, I tend to read mostly the negative reviews. The long negative reviews. Why? Its easy. Every great aspect of a game is already mentioned in the steam description. But the negative parts are what can make a game horrible. And they are mostly honest. Many also mention the great parts but are not too hyped to point out what is wrong about a game.

To me, this whole curators, vlogger, youtubestuff of the new wave of amateur reviewers is nothing but a facebook-sideeffect. People make profiles of themselves and they want to look awesome. They want to sound awesome and they want to be liked and celebrated. So they mostly do what most people like. And talk what most people like to hear.
