In today's day and age of absolutely, horrifyingly, ridiculously shitty, overhyped games piracy seems to be the only way to actually see if the game is good, or as is the case significantly more often than not, just hyped up by a lot of dumb sheep. Maybe if there were proper demos this wouldn't be as big of a problem.

Or just proper reading of several reviews and a good understanding of your own preferences could do the trick, but no, thats too hard for many people nowadays as it requires reading skills.

Apart from that in this day and age most games are actually "good". There's hardly any games that are unplayable and only few that control so bad that you can't have any fun with them, but the true "gems" are still as rare as in the past, as most games stick to "tried and true" (creating lesser versions of known blockbusters) and while that can produce "gems" through a lot of refinement it's still easier to be wowed by sth thats completely new.

Edit: This was a post ripping you a new one due to your ignorance of today's gaming scene, but mummelman said everythign I had to say more tactfully above.
