| Pristine20 said: @The_vagabond7 So how do you decide whether or not to buy the "damn game" so that you can even play it to find out? Personally I take word of mouth over reviews and that did fail in the case of R2 since I bought it very early but I'm curious as to what makes you take the plunge? |
A combination of previews and how much money I have on hand at the time. I've been playing games a long time, I know what I like, and I know when I see something interesting.
I'm getting Killzone 2 because COD4 has gotten old and I want a new Multiplayer FPS. I like the idea of making a Final Fantasy Tactics like job system where you can mix and match, and use experience to purchase abilities. Plus I want to see how the game looks on my big HD TV with my surround sound, and I've got the cash right now. Smoke 'em if you got'em.
I do listen to word of mouth, but not word of mouth based on a small fraction of the game. Again, Resistance 2's multiplayer had great word of mouth from the beta. I thought the beta was great too under the assumption that this was just the beginning. I think word of mouth becomes alot more reliable the more time that passes. People have a more objective view of a game once they have moved on to being hyped about something else.
