Hm.. I'm gonna give two examples: Final Fantasy VII and Grandia. When I bought them, the reasons were

- I wanted to discover more Final Fantasy.
- The athmosphere looked different than the ones I've played before (FFIX and FFVIII).

- Grandia just appealed to me from the start, with the animé style, and the charming graphics. It looked like it could be even better than Final Fantasy.

Now I love these two games, but the replay value I consider very low. =/ =P And it's quite hard to know how the replayability is of a game by just looking at the package. :O

Yeah thats what get me into buying some games. If like I liked a certain game like Grandia II, then I will be trying to discover more. Pretty soon when I get enought money and get a few games I can't lived without. I will be trying to find Grandia I and III. I just loved the one I played and I was kinda too much in love with it. I play it all the time and can't stop thinking about it.

I can't remember, but I'm sure I have - but that's why I can't remember them

The most important feature/aspect I look for in a new game is playability (and replay value) - something which is difficult to discern from looking at a box. So I typically see my future game(s) in a mag, or a comercial on the tele. If a game LOOKS good, then I do a little research. Maybe ask a few of the guys at Gamestop what they think of a game (AND what games they found most enjoyable) this helps to keep poor purchases to a minimum.

Well, I regret buying Carmageddon and Time Crisis. It's fun for a while, but a very short while. ^_-

Re: What is it that makes you buy a certain game?

mine would have to be what type of game it is first, then music, storyline and character development.

Re: What is it that makes you buy a certain game?

When I was younger I tended to buy any old game if I could afford it, but that meant sometimes I ended up with sucky games which I could clear in a few hours.

A lot of the points people have brought up in this thread are what would make me buy a certain game but now days I dont buy games these days unless it is an established game series like final fantasy. If I am not playing my ff games I tend to try and get my hands on old games which bring a smile to my face with memories of nostalgia.
