Betas only make me decide if I'm already leaning one way or the other. If I'm not too interested in buying, a bad experience in a beta can make me finalize my decision not to buy, and vice versa.

XB1. I enjoyed the FO4 mod interface for the most part, so I'll probably get Skyrim remastered at some point.

GTA Online. Found a solid crew to run with and it kept the game fun for the past three years. The bikers DLC getting it so, so right didn't hurt either.

I hope so. Games that take longer may not be guaranteed to be better by default, but it certainly gives them a better shot at it. I love Syndicate, but it was barely enough to recapture my interest in the franchise, so I'm glad they're slowing things down.

I'd love it. Especially if they managed to make the character creators not suck. At least bring them up to DAI level (not great, but not horrible).

I'll usually reward myself with a game or something that I've been holding off on for awhile. I'll go out for dinner with family, if it's big enough.
