I always research! D: -pats pockets- because.. I have no money, and if I use my money on a game that turns out to be awful.. I'll be upset. Plus it's a waste because I don't finish games I can't get into, or just can't stand.
Still, even though I research into games before buying, I'm always cautious about my purchases. Which may be why it takes me so long to get new games. Hehh.
