Have any stories about not knowing what game to get? It can be quite the pickle! All these great games lined up in front of you that all came out/come out around the same time. You could get more than one, but you probably shouldn't. What do you do? :eek:

For me, this happens a lot. I don't buy a lot of games at a time and I usually complete (or grow tired of) all the games I have before buying a new one. Actually, more often than not I only ever have one maybe two (or three) games at a time.

A recent predicament is with inFAMOUS 2 and LA Noire. I really wanted to get both. I didn't know what to do! Until I rememberd I had already preordered the Hero Edition of inFAMOUS 2 for $100, so I won't be buying any more games any time soon. ^^'
 
Well, what a convenient place... I was recently in a bit of a trifle with deciding whether or not to get Final Fantasy IV Collection or .hack//GU Vol. 3 Redemption. I finally decided on .hack because I was still pumped up about finishing my website for it, and plus I figured it would give me more bang for my buck even though it's a shorter game.
 
I think like that: Tekken , Street Fighter, and Marvel vs Capcom > Other games.

So if a Tekken , Street Fighter, or Marvel vs Capcom game come out, I'd ignore other games(unless it's a PES, Or Fifa), and buy them.
 
Erm....I use my emergency credit card. It's only for emergencies - well I tell myself that anyway. A game buying dilema is an 'emergency' in my opinion!

It's easy, I'll rank up which ones I like the most. Series I like and gameplay, I usually go for what kind of gameplay I long for the most as well. Kinda like how Portal 2 was released recently but I didn't give a damn because I don't want to be solving puzzles in a portal game right now. But I'm damn sure I'll want it badly in a few months or so.

I never really try out any new random games except some when they go low in price, so it's mostly sequels, spin-offs, etc in games that I look up to buy months before. When Starcraft 2 was about to be released I wanted it BADLY, but my friends had nagged about Pokémon Heart Gold/Soul Silver and I wanted that too. But seriously... I've longed for Starcraft 2 for years, it wasn't a hard choice, that game was to be mine during the day of friggin' release! DX
 
I normally see how much free time im going to have and if im going to have enough time to put into a game and if its a game im going to have to sit down and play for ages to get into or complete or a casual game thats easy to pick up and play when i have a couple of hours free. Also if the game has lots of replay value or multiplayer to keep me playing after single player experience is over and if not i might get another game to start playing immediately after finishing it.
 
Yeah, i bought a game for my birthday ,, but i couldn`t decide on it for a while.
I wanted a game that i can play again and again, that doesn`t get old. So i was caught betwean SC2, CiV, NFS Shift 2 Unleashed and Blazblue. CiV is quite tedious in MP, and gets boring if played constantly. NFS Shift 2 was the last i`d have picked, simply because of the no DLCs for PC, kinda. Blazblue, i`m not that good at fighting games, but it`s alot of fun, so this was my second choice, so i ended up picking Starcraft 2, i knwo that the expansion will be out sometime 2012, but whatever, i have enough time to practice for it.
