What do you do when you don't have a game everybody has?

Sorry, but lately I'm really dubious about what games to buy. Recently, my friends talk to me about stuff like Dark Souls, or Assassin's creed, or Skyrim, etc. But I don't have any of that, because I've been spending my money more on the Marios and stuff. Obviously if a game is bad I ignore it, even if everyone plays it lol. But it gets serious when it's a good game, because then there's the dilemma of which game to get: The one everyone has or the one I want.


What do you guys do in a situation like this :-\?
 
I think it's better to just stick with games you enjoy playing. People have different tastes, so just because there's a game that, say, "everyone" likes, it doesn't necessarily mean you'll enjoy it. You'll have to discover what your tastes and preferences are.

For example, I have Undertale and many of my friends have played it. Yet it never clicked with me long enough for me to stick to playing with it. I don't think its gameplay is anything special. I haven't experienced enough story to have a take to it but so far, I'm not drawn into it as I thought I would.

Another thing is, well, I don't play popular online games online. Mario Kart, Super Smash Bros., Left 4 Dead 2, and GTA V...I exclusively play them offline or local because that's how I enjoy these games most.
 
I don't have a Switch either.


Also what if you have to choose between 2 games that are also 10/10 and good for my tastes preferences, but one is more popular than the other?
 
Wellll, if you have Steam, you can always buy either game and, within 14 days of purchase, then play them under an hour (so you can fully refund one) and find out which one gets you in the mood better.
 
I mean I'm talking about console games.
 
You just have to make a decision, then. Research the games online with videos or reading articles about them, maybe ask questions on forums that specialize those games. But ultimately, it's really up to you to make that decision, not anyone else.
 
Back when I used to be a countdown maker, I would sometimes get recommendations for games that were popular at the time. One such recommendation was Team Fortress 2 since it was free and everyone and their brother absolutely adored it, I decided to check it out one lazy day afternoon but honestly couldn't get into it. Might be partially attributed to the fact that my laptop is trash and can't keep the framerate consistent, but I just didn't have that much fun.

Like BLOF said, it might be better to look into what your getting first to see if it looks like something you might be interested in.
 
I go with the flow when it comes to games with the occasional not popular game.

I mean those games are probably most popular on PC.
 
Almost everyone in my school talks non-stop about Fortnite.

Do I care? Heck naw, it’s not that good of a game imo. Tried it when a friend brought his PS4 in my house.
