I'm really curious why do people download games.
I myself never read a longer review - even if I buy a game in a store I don't read what it's about. I go by my gut feeling and decide to buy it or not (even if I throw away my money).
What about you?

[wormpaul]

I read every review...

ANd then decide to download or not

Well, I know usually the games that I search(ed), but it's still interesting to read the review and see what others think of it.

Well, im not that kind of guy who downloads everything he sees.mostly i'm searching for an old game I know or if the scrshots are realy impressive

[Stroggy]

Well its either something I've been looking for or the screenshots/concept catches my attention and I decide to read the review.

Usually I fall for the screenshots.
But sometimes It's a game I've played before that I really want to play again...

with me its a mixture of things for me. like if i have played the previous game/next game in a series, i will want to try the others in a series. sometimes, screenshots sway me, sometimes reviews, it just depends on a lot

A combinaison of all of the above, with those in priority:

Screenshots. I have a huge experience in games, especially in old games. When I look at screenshots I have a very precise skill (around 90%) to know what the game genre is and what the game is about. Sometime I am wrong but it is rare. When I see which genre it is, I decide if I want to play it or not. For instance I will never play an Adventure game.

Review. The review is a great source of information on the game. It also helps kill the 10% missing in the skill mentionned above.

Looking for the game. If I was looking for a game from a long time I will download it ASAP. However it is not the case right now for any game I know (which are abadonware. However there is some games I would want to download right now which were abadonware before and are not anymore).

Someone suggested me to. If a relative or a good friend told me such and such games are good or a gem and that I never tried it, I may go and download it to try. Most of the time it is not true however, since I already played a big majority of the great old games around.

I didn't vote, cuz my answer is mixture of:

1. I was looking for this very game and found it.
2. Somebody suggested the game to me.
3. I liked the screenshots.
4. I read the review and decided to try the game.

The most games I downloaded and played are because I was looking for that game. I don't read many reviews, cuz I just don't feel like I should.

I think that is not just reading a review,or just seeing the screenshots,or even seeing the rating(u forgot this one).Its a combination of them all.The games u allready know and like to play or to own its another category :angel: .You will download them anyway(u dont need to see or read something...) k:
