Always. Since the 8-bit computer days. Read reviews, buy games that seem interesting. Occasionally take a flyer on a bargain bin game, hoping for a hidden gem.
Demos often don't reflect the real game, for example, Monster Hunter is a big offender. --- If ballet was easy, it would be pointe-less ... Copied to Clipboard!

Demos are a relic of the past. Not exactly, they've just been replaced with alphas/betas/early access. Although much of that is for multiplayer. You do still see demos and free trials for single player games, though. They're no where near extinct just yet. --- https://i.imgur.com/ZwO4qO2.gifv Bluer than velvet was the night...

I mostly play on PS4, and they have demo trials fairly often. Completely free. Does Steam not offer anything like that?

I cant fathom anyone with a half decently sized library that actually tried out every game before buying it.

I think Steam games go with the logic that "people only really buy on sale anyway, why bother with a demo". Also the refund system lets you refund games within two hours of playtime, which is a good length for a demo anyway. --- DorkLink said I could borrow his signature so I did (see below): ...

I've bought literally hundreds of games without ever having played them prior to the purchase. I've even bought games just on a wim because the box interested me or something. I think I've only played 20 demos in my life & I've never rented a game before. I would much rather buy a game & grow my collection then just rent it for the weekend. But that's coming from a collector so... take it with a grain of salt.

Well i guess unless i signed up for Gamefly there really isn't away to try a game before buying it anymore?
I don't think there is a single rental store anywhere in my state anymore. I guess a better question for me would be if you ever bought a game without reading a review or even previewing it. ... Copied to Clipboard!

The video rental places by me didn't rent Game Boy games. You didn't really have much choice but to buy them and hope for the best.
Even with games I could rent, though, no, I didn't always rent them first. I'd suspect most people didn't always rent them first. --- Who's your favorite character from "Bend It Like Beckham"? And you can't say Beckham. ... Copied to Clipboard!
