Did you ever buy games when you were younger......

[Cookie]

Without knowing anything about the game? I remember doing this and sorta miss it. I remember being at Toys R Us with my mom and seeing DK 64 thinking, "Oh hey that's Donkey Kong from Mario Kart! I'll get that!" Although at the same time you end up getting stuck with sucky games. I just was thinking about how much fun discovering games like that was, and lame it is now when I buy a game I've already watched gameplay videos and read reviews.

I did that with Mischief Makers for the N64 

I ended up liking it though

[don't let's]

All the time. I think prices and the internet have screwed that over now though. It is a little sad.

That is how I still buy videogames, and music, and books and anything...

Sometimes, yeah. That's how I ended up with Hey You, Pikachu! and Turok. Two shitty games.

[Samus Aran]

Which Turok?

i know i'm probably exaggerating when i say it's shitty, but i honestly never have liked it very much. i recognize that it was sort of revolutionary for its time in that it was the first real "wide open" FPS (instead of corridor-based) and that was graphically very nice back then, but i still never liked it much, and it has aged very, VERY poorly.

But Dinosaur Hunter was awesome. And those cheat codes it had, hnnnnnnngg
I miss fun cheat codes like that. Though I actually haven't seen it in years so…

Also, probably my first M rated game because my mom didn't really know anything about that stuff and she just thought you went around killing dinosaurs

enjoy your 5% environments, 95% distance fog

I still buy used games this way.

I need a good easy shooter game.   

[Wrench]

Got Gauntlet Dark Legacy because of this.

BLUE WIZARD NEEDS FOOD BADLY

[Kalahari Inkantation]

i almost never buy games this way

I always try to make sure that what I buy is something I actually do want to minimize the chances of being disappointed.

the only times i ever got randumb games were years ago when family members would buy the cheapest garbage they could find as "gifts" :'(

[YPrrrr]

I feel like more often than not, my impulse buys ended up being awful

Pokemon Trozei, what was I thinking
