No, I see no reason to. It is only $60-max so why resist? I don't 'resist' buying my coffee from the coffee shop every morning, same here. Wonder why there seems to be more haters on the internet? Read this by an actual marketing guy to find out why. |

Originally posted by Amjoco Well, not $60 but coffee + bread-thingy is what $15-$20? Sides, a game lasts longer than a cup of coffee (most of the time). :P Wonder why there seems to be more haters on the internet? Read this by an actual marketing guy to find out why. |

I've actually been doing pretty good with this. I used to buy pretty much every AAA MMO but I always end up back in WoW and amazingly I have taken a hint.

There are VERY few games I buy without checking reviews first. The only game I've preordered in years, was Skyrim. This has saved me lots of money, no doubt. Of course there are temptations, but I've learned to resist them. Currently I'm resisting Skyrim: Dawnguard, and based on reviews, I doubt I'll ever fork out the money for it.

Honestly....while I can usually wait awhile, I have an aversion to buying every MMO I come across. I can't help it. I dont' do that with any other game type, so I guess it's good they only come out every so often. Part of that comes from being bored at the time though, BECAUSE they don't come out often enough, lol. Catch 22. Ah, well. I kind of like this prepurchasing of late. Makes me not lose sleep over the cost of the game as one can save up for it and have it paid for almost a year ahead of launch. Like with GW2. Expansion are another story. I can wait to buy those. Unless I'm neck deep in that game or looking to come back to it. Then I would buy it at launch. But like MoP or EQ2s expacks? Yeah, they can wait, if I ever decide to play them again(kind of hoping I've seen the last of them, but 2 years from now when we're all in that waiting on a new MMO limbo, I'll probably cave).  |

I tend to buy games when I have time off work, otherwise I skip buying stuff. I do recall buying a lot more games when I was between MMOs (after SWTOR but before TSW), mostly older games on sale though. The Enlightened take things Lightly |

Never had to resist games as i always came into them with the idea that it was a game for entertainment, as such at the end of the day i would always get my moneys worth, and with sub games it is the same till i fill i am not getting my money's worth i keep my sub. Though many of the new ff series games i have not touched after 10, but that was since by an large they did not look like my style of game, and so would not get me my money's worth. Though i have found too many people treat game series at large almost in a cult kinda way, that unless each game somehow improves the genre or game it is a waste or bad. Even games i found were bad in some way i felt i had gotten my moneys worth out of by merely enjoying what the game had. I always took a game by it's own sole marits, and not largely as a extention of the prior games like a vast majority do *een in movies like with the transformer movies, most see the new ones as garbage when compared to the older series and such, but why compare it to them really since it kinda dimishes both of them when you do.).

Console/Single player story type stuff....Easily. I prefer MMOs, but I still stay away from many of those. I am always looking, as the newer MMOs seem to not hold up as well as some of the older ones did, play time wise for me. |

It's easy for me. I've always waited to see how a title is after release. How a developer supports it and if it's broken mess or something I can enjoy despite what some might call flaws. Not even once have I got involved with the whole hype deal. I just don't understand it. It's literally a martian custom to me. Simply put, it looks like sheep being led to slaughter more often than not. I know that is a harsh way of putting it. It's just the way a see it. I don't understand why people do it. If a person buys a game on release and then 1 week later they are on the forums trashing it. The company does not give a shit. They got your money why should they care? Diablo 3 is a great example of this. How many on these forums went out and bought the game then turned around a week or two later started trashing Blizzard because of one thing or another. RMAH changes or implementation was one of the biggies. Those people knew before release that it was going to have one. So why on earth if they had a problem with it would they support the idea by buying that product. I'm not turning this into a Blizzard rant. I'm saying, tell me that didn't happen. I read post after post of people doing this very thing. It's not just one or two posts or people that did this. It was a lot. There are blogs all over the net by people who gave their money to a company which made a product and said we are going to have this as a feature. When it came time for them to implement it people get in a rage? It baffles me.. I have always been a tight ass when it comes to my money which helps. |

Far too many games to list. It's easy: look up the game's main site, look at the game content, try any available free demos (if one isn't available, that automatically is a red flag against it), determine if the content will be new and/or interesting or just more copied drek...if the latter, skip it. This is VERY BLOODY EASY to do. |

I bought diablo 3. It is one of my first big regrets as a gamer. What makes it worse my girlfriend ( who is by no means a gamer) warned me not to. She told me to remember what happened with tera and swtor. It has been a craptastic run for games the past year or so.

Originally posted by fascism How can you hate TERA? Been playing since release and still having a blast taking my time and just enjoying being in the world...so immersive . All other games are crap for me right now. Sooo tired of wasting money on every new mmo that comes along and yes I have done that for many years now. Tera is the last game I have bought and much to my surprise I am still playing it and right now don't even care about TSW or GW2. And for me that is a good thing..hope it lasts.... |
