Are You A Patient Game Buyer? (No Launches For Me!)

Depends on the game, ie Endwar I can easily wait a few months. That said Dead Space, Gears 2, Fallout 3 and Saints Row 2 were bought on day one!

Note that AAA titles being released so close to each other doesn't occur that often!

Peace

None of those are AAA titles. they are nowhere near the same league as Halo, Zelda, Mario, Metal Gear Solid and Gran Turismo.

I usually don't get around to buying a game until it is a year old.

I useually don't but there are exceptions. I bought fallout 3 the day it came out but there's not to many games i get a chubby over while I'm waitin. The second exception is sports games, I bought NHL'09 the day it came out BUT I'm not buyin madden this year(gotta rotate, games are too damn expensive). Sports games are only good for a year then they aren't worth anything so get 'em asap in my opinion.

I don't buy the games on day one, cause it's better to get some feedback first, although it depends on the game, for example Starcraft 2 has to be a day one purchase no questions asked (If it comes out someday).

Also, the only day one purchase I did, ended up badly, I thought burnout dominator wouldn't be that bad but I couldn't be more wrong, I played it later but I was very angry the day I bought it

i am very patient. ive yet to buy a psp game for more then $11. and i have popolocrois, rainbow six vegas, medal of honor heroes, sid meirs pirates, and many others. many games are over hyped, and you cant decide you like a game just by watching pre launch videos, because some of the stuff in those videos isnt in the game, or is totally different then the video portrays. i just like to wait it out

i usually try to by the day it comes out if i really want to play it. with christmas coming i have a few on my list. i still haven't bought Resistance 2 yet!!!

The only ones that I bought at launch was the n64 with Super Mario, The Wii with twilight princess, Mario Galaxy, and Mario Kart Wii. (Not much of a Nintendo fan eh?)

If I have some spare money by the time they arrive, and I'm hyped enough for the game, I don't see why not.

Eh, yeah they are.

Why do you think they mentioned the "AAA" term in the first post to start with? If those you mentioned are AAA, then there are no AAA titles coming this year...
