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

[sam13lfc]

If it's made by Infinity Ward. Ever again.

This.

 

[Mariakitten]

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

 

[General Ken8]

If it involves Duke Nukem
If it sounds cliched
If it's based on a movie

 

[K84]

If Yahtzee likes it.

 

[braincore02]

if I've been kidnapped.
if I'm somehow stranded on the moon.
ok haha seriously ummm...
if it seems like I'll be done with it in a week or less.
if it's a fps... so bored of those
if it's any version of the Sims

 

[e2density]

If someone who spends 80% or more of their free time on Xbox Live recommends it.

 

[Olikunmissile]

It is is on Steam as well as a hard copy. Read my earlier thread about Metro 2033 for details on how steam did me up the ass.

 

[Danglybits]

If its too much like a game I own, played or love. If its too exploitative or hyper-masculine. I just wanna try it out and I can rent it. If it's a remake when the original had good controls.

 

[sindremaster]

if its only multiplayer
if it has a short/bad story
if it sucks

 

[JaymesFogarty]

... it didn't feature an intelligent storyline. I'm just one of those people that can't sit around and play Tetris for a few hours; that's just not my idea of fun. If I'm going to buy, and indeed play a game, I want it to make me think, to be smart. Like Silent Hill 2. Or MGS2, provided the gamer played over and over again until they understood what the hell was going on.

 

[SuperNova221]

Most people just seem to be posting to say they won't buy a game if it's crap. Bit obvious, but ok.

Another thing that makes me curious is that a lot of people have been commenting on the gameplay and story, which you wouldn't know unless you actually played it.

 

[nick n stuff]

if it is said to be 'artistic'. grow some balls

 

[Sebenko]

If it has any ludicrous DRM requirements.

I'm looking at you, AC2. And didn't C&C4 have that?

 

[trueluigi7]

if it does not fall under my interests of games

 

[AnAngryMoose]

If it has no offline multiplayer (the exception is if it has a good single player to replace that).

 

[Hunter6475]

-if the single player story is short, seriously i saw a review for a game where
the single player story was 3 hours...WTF?!
-Music/Rythm game
-sacrifices singleplayer for multiplayer or vice-versa

 

[Willis_D]

...I have no interest in it. Why would I buy a game if I'm not interested, even if I have the money?

 

[PureChaos]

it's over £20. me likes me bargains. i would get Red Steel 2 and, though i heard from a friend it can be bought from his local Asda for £20, that's still a bit much

 

[Sprizmo]

If it's based on a movie, wait for it...directed by Michael Bay

Funny thing is, the Transformer games are generally agreed to be better than the actual movies. That's not saying much though. God I hate Michael Bay.
