Split-Decision: How to decide between two games.

[yuki]

Today's article is: How to think for yourself and make decisions like grown-ups. Lets jump right in.

How to decide (in sequential order, 1 being what you should do first):

1. Compare both games to what you like most.
Like FPS? Then maybe Sacred 2 isn't for you. Don't like RPGFPS? Borderlands ain't for you. It's really quite simple, look at the features and decide which ones you like best.

2. Compare both games to each other.
Compare the games, that's it. What has better gameplay, better graphics, which looks more intriguing, which has a higher rating? All of these can be answered by watching gameplay videos, VidDocs, reading editorials, and so on.

3. The "RTD Method".
Just randomly choose one if you can't decide, and stick with it. Pretty simple.

4. The foolproof "Case Method".
Go to gamestop, meijer, wal-mart, or wherever you shop for your games and simply stare at the game covers for a little under an hour. Alternate views, take a few steps to the left, the right, back, forward. Let fate guide your decision. Don't question it.

There you go, no forum posts, stupid text messages, weird phone calls, or social interaction at all.

Generally, asking other people grants better results, assuming they've played both games you're asking them to compare. It is very difficult to look at 2 games you've never played, and say "this one is more fun."

Generally yes.

There are cases where if you absolutely loved FPS games and you were trying to decide between Modern Warfare 2 and DS Mahjong.

Yes but I think yuki is referring to the many "should I get this or this?" topics that have been showing up.

There was a place built for the purpose of testing out new releases before you buy them. Granted, it's a little more costly than just renting them, but they also serve pizza there now and then.

This is the way you do it. The RTD Method is optional!

No Case Method or Comparing Quality!

No Comparing Quality!

Ah so if quality isn't the case then why are you here? There's another building game that's free. Clearly if you don't care about quality you'd rather be there right?
