Any game i'm on the fence for, or interests me but I'm currently not in the mood for I wait until it drops in price, though I like a lot of different genres and if I'm a fan of the series that almost makes the game an instant day 1 purchase. My reasoning: -I read a lot of articles on games that are new IP's and usually know before release date whether or not it'll be worth the day 1 purchase -If I like or will like a game why not support it and the developer by buying it new. Look at Valkyria Chronicles. I bought that day one cause I knew I'd like it. A lot of people waited to pick it up used or when it dropped to $20 and because of the low sales on PS3, SEGA made VC2 & 3 on PSP. Then people complained about them not making the sequels on PS3 >_<... If you like a game buy it fairly new to support it... -I usually get hyped for games so it's better for me to play while there is a lot of media and hype on the game rather than wait 6 months when I'd be hyped for something else. -Even if a game isn't that long, if I have fun all the way through it will be worth it. For example I bought Mirror's Edge at launch, even though every review complained about the short campaign and it not being worth $60. It didn't sell well at $60. I beat it in less than 6 hours but I loved the story and i LOVED the gameplay, my brother did too. I ended up beating the campaign multiple times and my brother was hooked on the time trials for a long time. For me that was $60 well spent. Other games with short campaigns that I thought were worth it and only beat once Asura's Wrath, Vanquish, Binary Domain.... these are all fairly short games, that didn't sell well because people didn't see the value in it but I really liked and for me it was well worth the $60. - I also have no life and do nothing but play games and watch stuff after work... which is good cause that means more of my free money goes to games.... well maybe.... actually i probably should get out more XD But ya just because a game isn't worth buying for you doesn't mean it isn't for others. Everyone has different tastes. People are also in different situations and can put the money into gaming.... |
a shame that they don't make a VC2+3 HD bundle for PS3.... I would definitely get that.
