Buyers remorse thread
>>
I research my purchases before I make them, so I don't get buyers remorse.

steam used to get me sometimes with those trailers for the early access crap

The Forest's game trailer looked pretty sweet, but when it released it was a huge pile of crap, and still plays like crap this very day sadly

I get caught on very cheap sales or risky titles that may be too ambitious for the developer, but that usually doesn't foster a strong feeling of buyer's remorse. It's the odd occasion where I buy something I think I will like, or buy it based on reviews from /v/, friends, or a reviewer I like that I usually get remorse.

Watching gameplay videos just fucking solves the problems though. I think the Risen series and DaS are still the biggest thorns in my side.

I have a shitload of stuff from the first big steam sales that I barely played. Back then I had a toaster and couldn't even play most of the games I bought.
>>
>>339133957
I played them all except for stalker many years ago

beat em years ago on console, thought i'd enjoy replaying them again after so long on pc this time

except for stalker of course
>>
So, video games general?

Seriously fuck video games

>buying video games you don't like
You can't tell from a trailer and some screenshots if you'd like a game or not? I mean I can understand there are some instances where games turn out to be different than one they look and others where one might be unsure, but generally speaking you shouldn't have this problem.
>>
>>339134326
Trailers generally are huge fucking spoilers, to be honest. I always avoid watching them whenever possible. I'd much rather pirate a game and decide if it's worth my money.
>>
>>339134429
but what if I want to show love to the devs
>>
>>339134326
Trailers are only helpful if your buying criteria is the game having cute waifus. It's impossible to judge gameplay with them or with screenshots, and not even gameplay videos are always accurate.
>>
>>339134457
You buy their game once you've attested that it's not a piece of crap.
>>
>>339134512
I'mma gonna testify to the vidya church.

Mankind Divided is worth the money.

It's possible. I still feel ripped off after pirating ME3.
