ken_cinder Posted October 8, 2007 Share Posted October 8, 2007 People still buy games? yes, people still enjoy supporting developers and their hard work... I did too, till I got to buying games and realizing that the reviews and video clips I watched made the game out to be more than they were. My retail PC collection alone totals over 300 titles.Got sick of forking over $50-$70 a game, for what 9 out of 10 times turned out to be utter trash. Haven't encountered a game since UT2003 (Last PC game I actually paid for) that was worth my money and wasn't shovelware. When game devs can start putting out titles that actually make me want to pay, I will. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
L.S.D Posted October 8, 2007 Share Posted October 8, 2007 games are "sold" here for USD1 - 2. Pretty cheap, I reckon. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gryph Posted October 8, 2007 Share Posted October 8, 2007 I prefer to buy used games I'd rather pirate a game than buy it used. People still buy games? I high five you for that. Last time i bought a game was about 2 years ago.I really hate this mindset. I really do. I used to be like that though until I realized how poorly PC gaming was doing. I can walk into any electronics store near here and pick up almost any new release so its all good. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chaotica Posted October 8, 2007 Share Posted October 8, 2007 (edited) I have always thought that games are way overpriced. But if I enjoy a game, then I will do my best to go out and buy it. I might rent it and burn it, play through it and find a real gem, then wait abit until the price comes down, but I will buy it if I really like it. I feel better that way. Having said that, I still need to buy Quake 4. That game rocked my boxers. I don't go into EB much anymore, but when I do, they seem well stocked with all the latest titles. Am I missing something?

Shibathedog Posted October 8, 2007 Share Posted October 8, 2007 first off i could get 200 cdrs for like 20 buxgame prices usually go about 60 for ps3 and 360 and some wiia lot of the wii goes for between 39.99-49.99 Yeah but be careful, he got TDKs which are usually pretty good, For some real good CD-Rs at a good price a 200 pack is usually around 40 bucks, to get them for 20 is a little suspicious.

Im really scared of playing games online if they are pirated. I dont like to take my chance . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have sympathy for the parents who are forced to buy games for their kids for 40-50$, when the child plays it's for 10 min and is bored with it. Yes, I do have a modded Xbox, and at the time when the Xbox was still getting games made for it, I pirated all of them, and I would have to say that only a few were worth purchasing. I downloaded every game that I was curious of playing, all of them were decent, but mostly considered as trash. Mostly today it seems as if game companies don't spend much time on the game to make it better, just enough to get buy and sell it to all consumers for 50$. I've downloaded some games worth 50$, that were trash, wasted my DVD+R disc if you will. Right now I watch and read as many reviews as I can, be sure to steer away from overrated games, don't get sucked in to spending half a 100$ for a game that everyone else has.
