My Rants: How to Save Yourself From Bad Games

Now as everyone may recall, everyone got their own taste in games and because of it all sorts of genre's and game styles have been made. There's been wars on consoles and which game or game sequel/prequel was better. The latest gamer war was with the upcoming Xbox One and the Playstation Four, and like always I'm sticking with the Xbox so long as I can play rented and used games then that's all fine and dandy. If not then fuck me sideways then. But even with all these fancy consoles and upcoming sequels or prequels to a certain game, no matter what's the time period gamers will always suffer from a bad game.

And so, with this I am hoping to at least share my knowledge on how to dodge a bad game. This knowledge coming from a guy who has to play bad games in order to review but FUCK IT I'm doing it anyways so let get started shall we? Now a note that this is all just a way to help keep some green and medals in your pockets and at the same time enjoy video games at home or at the streets or whatever, you don't have to follow these rules because every gamer is different and that's why I love you all (so why don't you come down here and give me a kissey *smooch*)

#1: Dont Preorder: Now this is just a marketing scheme to get people to buy their game at the very first second it comes out and in return you get some useless shit like art books, a statue or something, and a fancy disk case for your game. Now that's a given, some games that do that have some pretty nice stuff but in the long run it's pretty damned stupid and a waste of money. Hell, I could probably go to Ebay and buy the entire Skyrim collection with the Alduin statue a bit more cheaper than it sold at Gamestop (Or the guy selling it wants to be a cheap ass and sell it for twice its worth!)

#2: Always Rent: Now if you're a gamer like me who just wants to play every game in existence, then renting is your best friend. Now in these times, video games costs an arm and leg meaning Sixty American Dollars or Fourty if used and do you think you really want to buy a game like I dont know "Fifth Element: The Game"? Fuck no, for that game I wouldnt even take it if it was free and in a garbage bin in my weekly garbage dives and find some cool shit an-whoops did I just said all that out loud.

#3: Watch the Company: Now as many as gamers know, where the game came from is a rather important deal because depending on what company it comes from the more different the game will be portrayed. Like for example, Capcop is great at making Fighting games, Nintendo is good at making platformers, and Bethesda is good at making RPG's. However there are times where certain companies want to take a leap over something new and different than what it originally makes, so it's a risk that one got to be careful for. And if it's a bad game and they made a sequel to it, you already know to dodge it no matter how much it temps you. Or you can be a bitch and buy it with your cold hard cash, but I feel your pain you need your fix, so get that rusty needle out of your arm and get a jo-

#4: Reviews: Now this is a major point that will help you dodge bad games, on how professional critics place their ratings on the game AND I'M NOT TALKING ABOUT THOSE DAMNED CRITICS YOU READ ABOUT IN THE FUCKING COMMERCIAL, THOSE FUCKERS CAN EAT A DICK! Those guys are PAID to say it's a good game, reviews from normal gamers is where they are at. So dont listen to the critics on TV, listen to the critics in the forums or on youtube or whatever.

#5: But Used Games and Wait: Now as time goes on, popularity of a certain game will slowly start to decline and so is its profits, thus the company is trying their best to sell all of their inventory and squeeze the money pig as much as they can from their product. When this happens, the companies lower the prices and low prices means more customers to buy it. A game that was used and sold also lowers the price value because it's not really new. Sometimes the case is broken, sometimes the case is replaced or the manual is gone or something like that. So buying a game takes alittle time and patience as well as a good strategy on how and where to find and get good used games.

#6: Stick To Your Known Genre's: Now, this is a rule where almost every gamer bends because sometimes a gamer wants to try out new things. Like me I stick to platform, RPG, Strategy, and Shooter and from time to time I go to the Fighting genre, sometimes I go to the Racing genre but that's a giving. With this rule, you are most likely to encounter a bad game on the first try of the specific genre and makes you just want to hate the entire genre. Just like me, I hate Sports and Racing games because with Sports it's the same fucking thing. Same goes with Racing but with cars "Whoop De Fuck Me Sideways Doo Dah" and because of certain games it makes me want to never play the genre again, until years later I encounter certain games that follow that certain genre and was fun as fuck for example Sonic Racers. It was fun, it was colorful, it brought new material on the table and it was a Racing game. So once again Sonic, you helped me through tough times.
