I won't buy a game if.......

[dancinginfernal]

I haven't rented or heard a review from somebody whose opinion I care about of the game.

 

[BlainosGhost]

It says treyarch on the box

 

[PHOENIXRIDER57]

If it is not coop. I know this may sound a bit weird but most games have a decent single player that I can go through in a rental, and I usually don't have xbox live so what's the point of the multiplayer feature?

 

[aspher]

It's made by a developer who has a track record of poor games.

It's a music rhythm game.

It's an RTS.

It predominately promotes its multiplayer on the back cover.

 

[mr.aravaro]

if I don't like the demo

 

[PixieFace]

If the story is poorly written and unimaginative.

If the characters are walking stereotypes.

If it's only multiplayer. (Only got TF2 because it was with the Orange Box.)

If it's a rhythm or RTS game.

If it's not on PC.

If I haven't researched it extensively first. I'd rather avoid wasting my money on a potentially shoddy game in the first place rather than do some uninformed impulse buying.

If its not on the PC

 

[eggy32]

If the main focus is multiplayer and the singleplayer cannot stand up on its own. I don't minds games like Red Dead Redemption where the single player is amazing and the multiplayer is fun too.

 

[PAGEToap44]

...if I can't afford it.
...if it's shit.
...if I see something better.
...if it's sold out. Damn you fellow Red Dead Redemption owners!

 

[Gingersalt]

If I'm intoxicated (though that's generally applicable for any purchase)

If I'm out and about (prefer buying online - cheaper and can check player reviews)

If my brother already has it (sharing is caring folks)

 

[Slaanax]

I don't have rules for buying game, as long as it gets good reviews

 

[Peabob]

I'll pay stupid money for games, but not if the box is damaged or scruffy.

 

[Dango]

If it's trying to appeal to to wide an audience (every first person shooter of the last couple years).

 

[Havra]

it is a pre-owned DS or PSP game *shivers*

 

[Chancie]

But aren't most games around $60 now?

Anyways...for me, I won't buy a game unless I'm interested in the characters.

 

[proctorninja2]

i am out of cash and it dosnt have at least one weapon that has range

 

[Quiet Stranger]

If its part of project ten dollar, yeah Im going to boycot it.
Also if its a CoD game, I just dont like them.

What exactly IS project 10 dollar?

 

[Romblen]

If it has teenagers with odd hair and strange clothes running around with swords the size of school buses

If it's full price, and only a multilayer game.

If it has the title "Modern Warfare" in it.

 

[Verex]

? It's over priced
? My friend recommended it. Sorry, but his tastes sucks
? A racing game
