[quote name='ZForce915']On a really new blockbuster game, yes. Especially if that game has an active multiplayer aspect. A game like BioShock I plan to wait until it is $20 before I get it. And we'll see if I still have interest at that point.[/quote]
I don't care if a game has a multiplayer aspect to it, though it is a bonus if it does. Although, with the bulk of development being for next gen(or current gen if you've already switched over)systems anymore, I find myself with limited options for new games to play anymore.
So lately, I've been diving back into my backlog and checking out which used games I wanted to try back when they were new on the scene and getting them for a steal of a price compared with the $50-60 of current stuff and the $50 or so they started out at last gen.
There is something to be said for not being impatient and wanting the latest and greatest right this second, that being that all of the glitches, exploits and various other game aspects have been determined and usually the price is MUCH lower and you can get 2-3 games for the price you'd have spent on that ONE 'blockbuster' title that may turn out to be a total waste of time and money.
I just wish that Microsoft and all of its third party partners in turn had not abandoned the original Xbox for development, since I feel there was alot that still could've been done on it. But, I guess some manufacturers think the old cut and run is better than hemmorhaging money and keeping the fan/userbase strong and supported. I don't blame them though, since I'd do the same if I were still losing money on every system sold.
Either way, it'll be a long while till I have to worry about the pricing for current stuff, but I intend on enjoying every last gen title I never got a chance to play and wanted to at a cheaper price than many paid.
I still don't see the appeal of rushing out to get the newest 'blockbuster', when some of them turn out to be overhyped garbage, but I guess just like the astronauts going into space, someone has to be the pioneer and put their money on the line to determine if the new games live up to the hype.
