| Veknoid_Outcast said: That’s a fair point. And of course you can’t truly know what a game is worth until after you’ve purchased it and played it extensively — that’s the rub. Perhaps I should have put “pedigree” as one of the poll options. I know that I assign a lot of weight to certain studios, publishers, and directors. The new Fumito Ueda game, for example — I’ll pay pretty much whatever they ask for it. I trust in his genius. |
That's why you look at who created it as you said. Today I blindly bought I, Robot. I hadn't even heard of the game before but saw it on the PSVR2 reddit today, new Jeff Minter game, add to cart, download, gonna play it soon.
And yes I'll do the same with Project Robot when/if it comes out.
It's the same with other authors, directors for books / movies / music.
But you need to take a chance on new unknowns as well and then you can only say afterwards if it was worth it. However after 40 years of gaming I'm pretty confident in what I'll enjoy although I still get 'burned' now and then.
And I'm also pretty confident in MKW not being worth $80 for me as I've never really enjoyed MK for more than a couple matches.
