Isn't it a bit absurd when people say play the game to see if you will like it? (mainly for lowly reviewed games)

I was about to say "it makes sense if there's a demo" but the OP has it... So you're not crazy ;)
Usually, I buy games when they come from a franchise/series I love (Zelda/DBZ games), my childhood (Mario and Pokemon), super cheap games thanks to piracy (This is how I found out of GTA, and FIFA), or gameplay footage (Pikmin). Also, borrowing from a friend could work, if you have the same system as your friends...

Do you happen to be one of the 5000 wii u owners? j/k

In all seriousness though, I do the same with franchises/developers that have proven themselves to me over the years. Just seems kind of weird to plop down money to just try out a game.

NOO!!!
