Are most games worth 60 Dollars/Euros?
Whenever I buy a new game I first did a lot of research into that game. Why? Because I don't want to waste 60 Euros on a game I'm going to hate or a game I'm done with in just a couple of days. So yeah it's smart to know what kind of game you're buying and what you can expect.
Researching a game is a waste of time?
Maybe some people see it that way, I see researching a game as a way of preventing myself from buying a bad game or at least try to prevent that from happening. The worst thing with games is that you saved up some money to buy a game, you had to choose between several games you're interested in because you don't have enough money for all of them, and then it turns out that this game sucks or at least wasn't worth 60 Dollars/Euros. So if I can prevent that with doing some research into a game first then I don't mind that at all! It's important that you know what you're doing, just reading a review isn't enough. Because the review is usually the opinion of someone, even if the gaming journalist stays objective then there is usually the problem of the difference between reading about a game and actually playing a game. Which is why it's important to see some gameplay and if possible play the game yourself before you buy it. These days there are a lot of options for gamers to get early acces to a game. This often involves in pre-ordering a game but you could always cancel that if you really don't like the game. Joining an open or closed beta often gives you a good idea if the game is something you would like and there are also options for some games to play a free demo, which is probably the best way to find out to see if a game is going to be fun to play. Unfortunately even with all that information it doesn't always give you all the answers. You don't know how long a game is, if the game has a high replay value and if there are bugs/glitches in the game that make it annoying to play. But at least you can get a pretty good idea if you'll like the game and it can improve your chances on buying a fun game that is actually worth the money you pay for it!
Are most games worth 60 Dollars/Euros?
I think that's a personal question, because someone who doesn't like fighting games will most likely never pay 60 Dollars/Euros for a fighting game and the same counts for someone who doesn't like sport games because why would you spend so much money on a game you probably won't like? You often know what kind of games you like and you often stick to these kind of games. If you do feel comfortable enough to step outside your comfort zone, for example buying a racing game eventhough you're not a big fan of racing games, then you might want to research that game a bit before you commit to buying it. My advice is that it's sometimes better to wait, if you're truly not certain about a game and don't feel that need to get it immediately then it's probably better to wait. Games become cheaper over time, well most games at least (GTA V is a game that stays expensive even after more than three years), so you might be better off if you're patient. But the problem is often that when your friends are buying the game then you don't want to be left behind and so you buy it as well. Wouldn't it be smarter to first check the game? I mean if one of your friends buys it you could visit him or her and see for yourself if you'll like this game. All I'm trying to say is that it's smart not to jump blindly into a new game, maybe that makes the surprise even bigger when it's a lot of fun but it also makes you feel incredibly dumb when the game sucks. Games are meant to be fun, but not every game is for every person.
