Well why would you buy a game you dont think looks like fun? You buy it in hopes its as good as it looks and beat it.

Again, I don't know before what if it will be fun. My impression before buying is more influenced by hype and advertisement - like all of us. Sure, I try to read the tea leaves and crow bones to get if a game or a show will be good, but they aren't always right. I decided to go a lot indie, with lower investment I can try out more different stuff. Better than trying to assuage if the big AAA game is another mediocre safe experience or actually a big step forward - but the marketing will always tell me it will be great.

Well you know what looks fun based on previous experiences with a similar game. Sure its not always clear, so you have to take a chance, but the intention when buying a game is to enjoy it and beat it. If its not fun, then you stop playing it. Buying a game just to see if you like it makes no sense. You buy it, play it for 2 hours, you love it and then stop playing it because you bought it ONLY to see if you would enjoy it. Thats just weird.
