That can be said about any game, popular or unpopular...

Because I do my own research before buying games, and I couldn't give a shit if it's critically / commercially acclaimed or unpopular with people on the internet.

What baffles me is all the people who forego a purchase based on how well a game is received. Isn't that a vicious circle?

Well because i do research before buying the game. If i think it's good ill buy it.

Because games like Halo and COD used to be new unproven IP. What I am saying is that just buying sequels does not move the industry forward in anyway. I do not pay attention to reviews and I buy random games. Yes I have been disappointed before, but you can't win everything

Yeah. Exactly. Metascore was pretty close to quality.

its called loyalty

I don't buy games day 1.

Ok I just bought Fat Princess but that's because my friend insisted and it's only 15$.

I admit I do buy day ones, Conduit and Mad World are perfect examples

there have been few games i've bought day 1, i just can't justify paying $60 when I know its going to go down within a couple of months. There are exceptions though when certain games just don't seem to go down in price like fifa and cod by much. I remember buying cod4 when cod5 came out for $30 bucks and then selling it this summer for like $36, its just crazy sometimes

Why would i buy unproven titties day one lolol amirite, ladies?
