Welcome to modern gaming.

So what exactly do you base your purchasing decisions on?
>>319924903
I sure as fuck don't look around on the disaster that is the steam community for incite.
I look at trailers and gameplay. If it looks like something I would enjoy, I will wait for a sale and buy it if I have the money.
>>319925345
>incite
That is technically possible and believable. You can pirate a game, play it a lot and then buy later on Steam because it was cheap/you wanted to support the devs.
you are supposed to look only at the negative (and recent) reviews

Anyone who needs more than these to make a purchase decision on a game is part of the cancer ruining games.
How long have we all been playing games? 25+ years for me, and yet some people need to read up on forums and articles, looking at other people's opinion. What, you don't have your own opinion/taste for games you like yet? That's why all those stupid Let's Plays are getting popular.
Look up trailer and look up gameplay, in less than 10 minutes you should have your answer.

It could very well be a bad game (and probably is), but these "reviews" piss me off since they're clearly just an attempt to pander and make a haha so fahny joek rather than be any semblance of a genuine review by someone who actually played the game.
Yep I have seen reviews like that and people are actually that stupid

>Steam reviews say it's shit
>/v/ says it's good>it's good
Name the game.
It always blows my mind whenever I remember that reviews of vidya are still a thing, and that there's people who actually consider their vidya purchase based on review
How much more initiative do you need before you start being able to form your own opinion? YouTube, Twitch, piracy, and incredible refund systems aren't enough?

Because the refund system gives you wallet funds instead of actual money and its much easier to see someone elses plunge for security before you jump in the tunnel
>>319931443
All the STALKER Games before /vg/ existed.
>>319931509
i guess you must be some kinda retard then if you think people only base their decision on reviews. they can be helpful, let you know pros/cons of a game before playing it. there's nothing wrong with consulting multiple sources in making a decision about a game
>>319931509

lol
just pretend i posted a laughing anime girl
>>319934347
>trailers and gameplay
>gameplay trailers
Are you just pretending you know how to read?
>>319934347
Gameplay videos after release, or you can't wait a couple days/weeks? Oh you probably can't, you need to socialize with anon, so you get your daily dose of attention before all conversation about the game dies and you jump to another one.
