How do you react when you play a bad videogame?

Normally you can't trust reviews. One game (forgot its name because it was so bad) had a 8 out of 10. I figured that's a good score so I went and rented it. The game was so bad, not only did I return it in anger but I told the employee "You oughta warn me next time." Next I went back home and went on a videogame chatsite (not the one in KMC) and started giving it crap.

Depends really.

Never rent. If I buy a game, whether its just a random buy or I looked it up. I stick it in the draw and don't play again...unless I'm bored.

"WTF?? Shit!! damn (the name of the game publisher)!! give me back my money!! i'd better play tetris than this!!"

but then i just leave it dusted in my cabinet

Reviews are random opinions by random people who play random games.

It does help sometimes... but it also helps a lot to read USER reviews and watch the trailer/s

I very rarely play bad games and I only own one: MK Armageddon. Fortunately, this copy has UMK3 so it wasn't a complete waste.

How did I react to the main game? I played the game with all the characters plus some custom made and that was it. I tried beating the game again with Scorpion but the gameplay feels stiff, broken, and just not fun. It tried my best to like the game but it just didn't work.

Regret and resentment shower over me. But I really don't react physically.

When I play a bad game I have to buy a new TV for reasons I will not...or rather am not at liberty to say.... dur

I once bought a bad game and I responded to this situation by knocking books off a shelf and started to curse.

Very creative, I usually just burn them at the stake, and then trade them in at Gamestop or 3D games...

I dont really ead reviews anymore, just word of mouth from my friends.

If I play a bad game, I usually ***** and moan about it. I dont return the game but rather let it rot away on the shelf.

*CRUSH EVERYTHING!!!*

then pee on everything. 😮

Indeed, only not really like that, i just kind of crumple the controller into a ball while muttering angry thoughts, slam teh console into the tv, shattering one and probably causing one to be irreparable, and then pee on it while its still plugged in, causing sparks.

yelling is soooo undignified.

I never buy bad games. I once thought I did when I bought Saints Row 2, but upon playing the game for more than 2 hrs I realized my instincts were spot on and it was a fun game.

The worst games I've got I rent, and instead of simply returning them immediately, I lie that they were bad copies, and pick up a better game for free in exchange.
