Usually one of Giantbomb's quick looks will either turn me on to a game or completely deflate one that I was looking forward to.

Personally I play what my friends play, so I go on their recommendations.

 

[Ray-]

I voted for recommendations from friends. Although its more of a, get this game so we can play it together.

 

[Ezekiel]

It's kind of a mixture of recommendations from friends/Steam reviews/on sale. It depends on who is making the game too.

Friends

Steam opinions and Metacritic.

I usually buy games based off of reviews from sites such as RPGcodex and Hardcoregaming101.

Its pretty much everything for me. Steam, firends, Youtube, etc.

Videos or Other Types of Media

 

[Drifting Dreamer]

I generally don't trust marketing/trailers, I mean we all saw what happened with Watch Dogs - something that looked amazing when it's first gameplay trailer was released became incredibly average when the full game released.

 

[Bladed]

Videos and multiple sources online. I don't go by just what one person or website says.

 

[762MM_REPR]

I buy a few games a year usually games from series so I know what to expect.

 

[Dbad]

For me it's mostly Marketing/Advertisements.:biggrin_old:

 

[Bryan]

If it's on sale, I'll be purchasing the game.
