At this point it's 95% none of these things, and instead just me playing it safe & buying games from established IPs that I like. I'm not complaining about it either, I never really was an innovationfag and would rather see games i've enjoyed get small improvements & basic changes to make the experience feel fresh enough & more enjoyable than the last, even then i'm content with a game that's just as good.

I look at a game, and go with my gut.
it has been pretty right about games. I remember Portal when it was coming out. Everyone was saying it was just some lame puzzle game that would never take off.
Parker Harris
Price, word to mouth is about as deep as I go.
Jonathan Thomas
Word of mouth and discounts for games I was on the fence about. Once in a blue moon I'll get a game based on a youtuber's recommendation.
Mostly this tho
Nathan Green
Word of mouth, developer interviews and gameplay trailers. I've been playing videogames long enough that I understand my own tastes and know I'll enjoy something before I actually get it. I haven't been caught off guard by a bad purchase for 6 years.

1. Price (unless I expect THOUSANDS of hours out of a game, there's no way I'm paying more than ~$30, there are just too many good AND cheap games out there)
2. Word of mouth (including USER reviews on metacritic which I always look up)
3. Influencers/Streamers/YouTubers (I typically watch some gameplay before deciding whether to buy a game, 90% of the time it results in my not buying a game I was considering buying)

Before the Internet really became a thing, sure. In 2019, I can't imagine how much of a cuck you'd have to be to tick that box.

Not even then.
I remember reading a review of King of Dragon Pass all the way back in 1999 in a printed magazine, the reviewer rated it 1/10 (the lowest possible mark)
I actually got to play it over a decade after that, and the game turned out to be fucking awesome (for what it was, it's definitely not for everyone but 1/10 is a joke), a very solid 7/10 maybe even 8/10
