Who needs em. I didn't buy or play Crysis because it looked like an average, linear, mediocre pos. ALL it had going for it was graphics. Big flippin deal.
This is a distrubing trend though. Oh well, as long as there are still people who make games worth buying then that's fine.
I download games to try them out. If I like it I buy it. If I don't like it I delete it. I'm glad I do this because otherwise I would've wasted a lot of money on bad games. Doing this has actually gotten me to buy games that I otherwise wouldn't have bothered with. I wish they would just release better demo's, or in some cases any demo at all. If it's a game I anticipate anyway, I buy it the day it releases. The ones I download are way after release.
The way I see it this method is no different from renting a game. Which sadly, as far as I know, it's not possible to rent pc games. It would be kinda cool if we can rent pc games. I would no longer dl torrents then.
I purchased Oblivion the day it came out and hated myself for it because the game sucked. It was shelved just days later. Many months later I reinstalled it and added some mods that actually made it good. If devs keep abandoning the pc then they suck. If it wasn't for fan made mods I would've thrown OB in the trash. I feel sorry for the console tards that got stuck with that pos and no mods. Modding is a huge part of pc gaming.
x360 and ps3 games are normally $60. wtf? It's the same ****. I would feel like crap buying a $60 game and being done with it that afternoon. Luckily, it's easy to return a console game or even just rent it. Good going there. The pc really needs some sort of renting system and less fuss when I want to return a pc game.
Now if Crytek intends to make some awesome Wii games I'm all for it. The Wii selection is like a G-dam wasteland. I bought a Wii the year it came out and I have a whopping 3 games for it (not inculding the sports thing that came with it). Waste-o-F'ing-Money
C'mon Crytek, make some Wii games you pansies!
