I'v been wanting to try Super Mario Galaxy, from what i'v seen of it, it looks fun as hell. But 20 bucks isn't cheap...20 bucks is usually all I have to spend on games, so I would rather walk away with a stack of games then a single game. Maybe if some fool is selling it for 5 bucks or I happen to have some extra cash...till then I'm not getting it.
I'm trying to give the DS a chance but it's hard...I really come across some shit piles when looking for DS games. The Wii...some games are fun on it but the motion control is just a deal breaker for me...I'll never get over it so it ruins the system for me.
Where are you looking for games? If it's thrift stores, pawn shops, and yard sales, it's pretty much a crapshoot, as you're going to run into more shovelware than quality games. At least in my neck of the woods, the thrift stores have dried up when it comes to games and systems, and the pawn shops are a mixed bag. That, and the independent game shops here overcharge for a lot of games. I'm with you in that I prefer to spend as little on possible on games. I don't like to spend more than $20 at once, but at least consider spending the full price. It is worth it.
I don't necessarily agree with your opinion on the Wii, but I do understand where you're coming from. I recently bought a Playstation console for the first time. There's a lot I don't like about the controller. It feels small in my hand, I don't like the space in the middle of the D-Pad, and the analog sticks don't feel tight enough for my liking. That said, those problems go away once I got into the games. I would've missed out on the Sly and Ratchet & Clank series if I didn't look past it. Even on the Wii, there are some instances where the motion control is annoying, but the games as a whole are worth it. All I am getting at is to try to not let something like motion controls get in the way of experiencing an entire library.
@oxymoron: Apologies for the topic detour. What launch games were you looking into?
._. I hate putting a thread off topic but if people keep asking me stuff...
Pretty much what you just said, thrift stores and yard sales are my main go to for games. Pawn shops only when I have enough cash/around the holidays because they usually have good deals on DVD's and some games...buy 3 get one free kinda thing...good way to stock up on good movies btw. And I hit the flea market near us as often as I can which isn't very often since I don't drive and have to rely on my parents wanting to go there as well..and they hate the flea market..
Unless its a hard to find game/one i'v been wanting for a long time/new game I never pay full price..I really can't afford to do that any more. A few years ago I could but now...I have to keep track of my pennys ffs.
That being said...I think online is where I need to look now. I pretty much strike out if i'm looking for anything that isn't Xbox and the odd PS2/PS3 game...and tons of sports games. Because that's all I usually find. So...wheres the best place to go for good deals online?
Hm, the PS1 controler is tiny...but the PS2 controller has to be one of my favs. Then again I most likely have smaller hands then everyone here lol! That's what I mean about uncomfortable controllers...I have small hands (since i'm a woman...though I have seen some guys with small hands..hm) so some controllers that guys can handle with ease feel to big for me. I do hear you on the d-pad space, and I think some sticks can be loose after wear so that might be your issue, mine feel tight. But if your used to another type of controller then I could see how it might feel loose to you.
Oh and one more thing on uncomfortable controllers, I dislike the NES controller. It hurts my hands after a while...the SNES was much better making a rounded controller to fit hands better. But the Genesis controller...ick another example of too big.
