There are these things called demos in this day and age. They used to be exclusive to PC, but now all handhelds and consoles have them too. For those games without playable demos, you also have free access to dozens of gameplay videos and reviews on the world wide web.


Just because everyone likes a game doesnt mean I will, and also not all Demos actually show what the entire game is like, and one more thing please dont talk down to me.

The combination of demos and reviews(both negative and positive, User and critic) should at least give you enough info to make an informed decision on your purchase. imo, M$ should make demos mandatory for all Xbox One retail titles. I've never loved a demo and hated a game, but maybe that's just me.

Oh, and sorry, heh. I never used to talk like this before. Too much time reading N4G and Youtube comments, I guess.

Ty for apologising and yes I see your point with the demos and reviews but somehing could change although it is highly unlikely it is still possible. Also the methods you mentioned is why most games are bought these days, But and a very big "But" not all games are reviewd and showed fairly and also not all games have a demo before their launch.

If a developer is too lazy/secretive to put out a demo their game, despite the lack of reviews, then I'm not gonna take my chances on it. Unless it's under $10, of course. heh. I can see how rentals could come in handy in that there. Though situations like that are becoming more and more uncommon, and they may very well be nonexistant on the Xbox One.
