Forums - Gaming Discussion - Does anyone buy a console or game because of popularity?

Just another curious question...I always come up with these odd questions but I was thinking for the past couple of days about this...I do buy games base on popularity sometimes but not always...what about you guys?

same here, if i see a popular game on tv, hear about it etc, i usually look it up on the web see how it did and what its like. If i like it i go and rent or buy it.

Most of the time though i buy games i like, and thankfully most the time games i like are popular



                 With regard to Call of Duty 4 having an ultra short single player campaign, I guess it may well have been due to the size limitations of DVD on the XBox 360, one of various limitations multi-platform game designers will have to take into consideration-Mike B

Proud owner of 360wii and DS/psp              

Game trailers-Halo 3 only dissapointed the people who wanted to be dissapointed.

Bet with Harvey Birdman that Lost Odyssey will sell more then Blue dragon did.

Sometimes I will give a game a second look because of popularity instead of dismissing it immediately. I never rely on popularity alone.



Not usually. I buy one becuase it looks like fun.



pretty much the same as the other.. except for a game that rely a lot on online.. if it's not popular I won't buy and just rent it....

Cool cause I think the say way when I look at the box art of a game I go crazy and it makes me want to play it....Like:

Of course I buy games based on popularity since I rely on friends to tell me what they think of games that I don't know much about before I buy them.



how old are you Soriku really?




 

How old are all of you...

Bet with disolitude: Left4Dead will have a higher Metacritic rating than Project Origin, 3 months after the second game's release.  (hasn't been 3 months but it looks like I won :-p )
