Right now I’m buying one or two because that’s what my budget allows but i would really love to get SoT, FC5 AND Kingdom Come before March is out.

I haven't bought a game for the full $60 since GTA V on the PS3. I almost always buy games on sale or secondhand. I try to make use out of PS+ games when I can as well. I use GameFly every once in a while to play through a few games or so for a reasonable price. And I always have a backlog of games to play while I wait for newer games that I want to go down in price.

None. I don't buy games every month. Last time I paid full price at launch was Persona 5, it was worth it :D

It used to be bad but I try to only get 1 new game per month. I'm always picking up cheaper games, though, like used games at Gamestop or digital through flash sales on psn.

On average I’d say that it’s probably 2 per month.

How many top priced AAA games do you buy a month?

Don't every month, AAA games are not always that great or worth my taste. And most the Switch games that are AAA I bought last year in anticipation for when I grab the console which grabbed early 2018.

I got my refund for Sea of Thieves, so won't consider that a purchase. That was the last game I 'purchased' that would be considered AAA; the latest Kirby game would be considered in the B budget bracket, and honestly think it's a better gaming experience. Other games I've gotten lately would mostly be in B budget range also_

Only new AAA game that I've bought this year is probably Monster Hunter: World. And it was worth the investment. As I expected from a well received series I've liked for over a decade.

Depends what games are out. It can be 0 or 4. On average I'll say two.

Now I'm been trying to get just one, tops ,2, a month and the rest of my gaming needs I sort them with game pass for the Xbox.

I buy 1 or 2 games at full price per year. The rest I wait for under $10-$20 each.

This year God Of War and RDR2 will get my money.

I never buy Triple AAA games at full price, but I am signed up for Humble Bundle so I normally get 1 per month for about $12 bucks. I am sitting at 499 games on Steam so I'm going to save my money and probably buy Xcom 2 as my 500th game! (on sale that is though :D)

Rarely buy full priced games, I will almost always wait for a sale. The last 2 games I bought at full price was bayonetta 2 and mario odyssey. I may buy god of war day one also, but other than that I am fine waiting for a sale, I have a huge backlog so I always have plenty to play

Just bought far cry 5. But before that was probably Mario odyssey. I only buy a handful a year, maybe 4 or 5. I tend to trade them in when I’m done and buy some cheaper games that I missed. I also subscribe to gwg and ps+ so most months there’s at least one game from those I want to play through.

although what you say is true on the first part of the sentence its not related to the second like at all.

keep in mind I have 34 years of buying games, so 34x4?

Monster Hunter World, and before that Persona 5... Those are the only 2 games I can remember paying $60 for this gen.

Between the 2, I have somewhere around 500 hours.

@Macutchi: He's also said he's never heard of the Uncharted series or Horizon Zero Dawn.... Hard to take someone seriously when they claim that.

buys 4 games a year, only plays indie games, yet watch how often he'll pop up in a thread slating aaa games he's neither heard of or played, trying to claim some kind of moral superiority. don't think i've ever seen a gs user talk as much shit as he does yet be utterly oblivious to it

One game involves shooting from various firearms, the other involves shooting from a bow/ robot tail. Both from an over-the-shoulder perspective popularised by Resident Evil 4.

It's not that much information to process.

Nothing. I usually try demos if they're available or play at a friend's machine. A newer one is subscription services that offer a games library, but after I tried that once with origin, EA decided to go apeshit, so I aint giving them more of my money. As for the windows store, well, it doesn't work on my brother's laptop(which is the only win10 machine in the house.), so I had to try Sea of thieves somewhere else. And these are the ways I try the new stuff. But the latest game I bought was NMS on a sale

Maybe a few a year but never brand new, I always go for a sale on Steam or Humble Bundle or wait until it hits the bargain bin on consoles. I just picked up GTA V for my Playstation 3 for $10

If I spend more then $25 on a game feel I got ripped off. I wait for price drops on everything. I can't bring myself to pay full price for a game if it has dlc. I don't feel like I'm getting the full experience so why should I pay full price? I haven't bought dlc since 2007 and I've never bought a season pass. I buy maybe 6 games a year and 3 of those six are usually purchased on black friday.

I pay full price for about 2 games per year. You can generally find them for half price after just a couple of months.

None, my backlog is WAY too big for me to indulge in yet another one to make me postpone playing those games I alrealy paid money for. I'll buy my next game when my pile is at least a third of what it is now (unless a nice sale comes along, obviously)

I own PS4, so I actually have new AAA games to choose from every month!

I usually buy one per month.

Every time a new game i'm looking forward to is due to come out, I keep telling myself "this time ill buy it". And then i don't. I don't think I've bought a full priced triple A game in a long time. Same with the recently released God of War. Never bothered picking it up, not sure i ever will even though it looks great. So to answer your question, none.
