Is it worth it anymore?

[haohmaru]

I can't come up with all that many games that I *have* to have as soon as they come out anymore. I buy some stuff more on the fear that I might not see it around in 6 months than for having to have it immediately.

With my current purchase of a new desktop, I'm going to have to wait out games. However, if the game is going to be a blockbuster title then I pick it up day one. Only ones that are going to have me do that are MGS3 and Metroid Prime 2. Capcom Fighting Evolution and Resident Evil 4 may wait a bit.

I have no choice come this November...there are games coming out that month that alone would be the sensation of a whole month otherwise. It's a veritable orgy of A-class games. But sacrifices must be made. Metal Gear Solid 3 and PoP2 have to wait if I don't have the funds.

If I dont buy a game right away I usually wont end up buying it at all. I usually lose interest in playing a game if I wait for it to drop in price. Because by the time the price drops Ive seen a dozen reviews and previews and cheats and spoiler to just not give a shit about a game anymore. But I may buy a game only if I have nothing better to do and nothing new has come out for a while.

If it's $30 and under at launch, odds are, I'll get it on day one. Other than that, 99% of the games I buy wait for price drops. Thanks to them occuring so quickly, unless I'm dying to play it, there's no real reason not to wait a month or two to save $20.

One of the first casualties of the season- Second Sight, $20. Not that I care about it or anything, but that was really quick.

No way, that was fast. Is the game any good? I haven't bought a game at $50 for a long time, and I traded a bunch of crap in just for Donkey Konga so I didn't have to front any $$ for it.

For me it depends on how much I want that game. If it's one I truly can't wait for, I'll pay the new price (Gotta have my Crisis Zone, Neo Contra, Out Run 2, & Chaos Field). Some other games that sound a little interesting I'll wait for the price drop on.

As for imports it's best to pick them up right away lest they become "presold out". Such was the story for XII Stag.

maybe if you bought great games for $50 right away rather than these blah titles you might not feel ripped off so much.

I'm still waiting for the GC to hit 50 bucks, and the games a max of 20 bucks.
