I only rent games if they are really expensive to buy and I know that I'll be able to beat it quickly.

Yes, unless I'm really sure about wanting it, I'll just rent it.

Sure. I haven't done it in a while, but that's mostly because I didn't really have time to play anyway. School all week, homework all weekend. More recently I had more time but I was till playing my newly bought games.

I'll probably start to do it again soon. Most of the time I rent games that have gotten good reviews but are said to be short.

No. I like to give myself the chance to replay games, which I do pretty much constantly, so there's no point in renting. Even if it turns out to be a bad or mediocre game and I never replay it, I still prefer to keep it.

I haven't seen what makes it a buy so far.  I was looking at the leader boards, and I saw that top person beat it in about an hour and a half.  doodhuh;

My first time through I beat it in 10 hours
Your total time is your fastest time in each chapter put together
So when you have the infinite rocket launcher it's going to go really fast.

Probably true.  Oh well, maybe I'll play some more tomorrow.

Nope, I do a lot of research about a game before I buy it.

I pretty much forced myself to beat it a second time.

RE5 only gets a 7 from me.
