killamch89 Posted July 22, 2019 Share Posted July 22, 2019 Personally, I usually base my video game purchases on personal "cravings" at that point in time. For instance, I may have an urge to play a fighting game so I'll look for a recently released fighting game, do some research on the game and if I decide to give it a try, I'll search some reputable online seller's website for any discounts and get the game if it falls within my budget. If not, I may just try some random fighting game from a few years back that is highly rated. How about you? Are you an impulsive buyer or a bargain hunter or is it a game you've been waiting to buy for a while? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Blackangel Posted July 22, 2019 Share Posted July 22, 2019 I’m mostly an impulse buyer. I’ve been burned by buying that way a few times, but I’ve also found a lot of gems too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've made one or two impulsive buys before and I regetted them both so I've never really gone down that road again... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Blackangel Posted July 23, 2019 Share Posted July 23, 2019 Yeah, impulse buying is always a total shot in the dark. And sometimes you hit your foot with that shot. Other times you hit that bullseye perfectly. But anymore, with the help of the internet I can look at screenshots to get an idea of whether or not it would be a game that I would really enjoy.

kingpotato Posted July 23, 2019 Share Posted July 23, 2019 I probably just purchase 1 or few games every few months, I already have a bunch of games and I replay them a lot, so far I'm only looking forward to buy Read Dead 2 , Yakuza 0 and Last of US.

To be honest, I don't think I've played 50% of the games I've ever purchased. I would like to play them but I keep forgetting about them - I was going through my Steam library for a game yesterday and saw a bunch of games that I haven't touched yet despite buying them...

TheSteelyardDweller Posted July 27, 2019 Share Posted July 27, 2019 i usually buy games that seem similar to games i already like whether with how you play them or what they are about or even setting similarities Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
skyfire Posted July 28, 2019 Share Posted July 28, 2019 These days I am going to be pretty focused on the purchase of only which I can finish. I have got lot of backlog. So buying is kind of limited in terms of video games. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
