well I spend way too much time on videogame sites and forums and reading mags and stuff... and I spend what some people would probably consider way too much of my money on videogames...
But I rarely ever pre-order anything, and I'd NEVER wait in some crazy long line (the only time I waited for something was Silent Hill 2... I waited like 2 hours in the game store, but that's because the delivery guy came about 1 1/2 hours late with the shipment... and there was no line there... just like 1 other guy waiting too heh heh)... and I usually never buy a game without
a: Reading a lot about the game (meaning reading stuff about the game and judging for myself if it sounds cool, not just hearing if the person liked it or not)
b: renting it first...
and I'm pretty good at picking out the ones I like...
PS2 is already one of my fav. systems of all time... underneath PSX (which is weird cuz I can play my PSX games on PS2) and NES... I already have 11 games (usually around this time of owning a system... about a little over 5 months I think... I have like 2 or 3 games... and with N64 I might have even just had 1 game)... all of which I give at least a 7.5 (and most of them at least 8... the only ones which score under 8 would probably be Gran Tourismo 3 and Summoner, which I got for 17 bucks
... oh, and maybe harvest moon, although i havn't had much time to actually get into the game much)... along with renting some games which range in score from about 7 (burnout) toooo... I dunno... pretty high (ICO, Red Faction, SSX tricky...)...
The main problem with people being let down with games and consoles is them getting big expectations... I never think like "THIS SYSTEM WILL BE BETTER THAN *insert my fav. system that the certain company has ever made*" or "THIS GAME WILL DEFINANTLY BE BETTER THAN THE FIRST!"... I just look at it like "Well I liked the other system, so I'll most likely like this one too" and usually I do... wether it's better or worse, I don't care, a good game is a good game...
'twas a good ready though... well, I kinda skimmed through it...
I hope I got what the article was saying...
