There are only a few games that I bought without the opportunity to test them before the purchase. And I don't mean a scuffed demo that only gives you a very shallow impression of how the different game systems interact with each other, I mean actually being able to play the damn game.

I don't subscribe to the idea of hype purchasing just to shit on the game after release because it's inevitably gonna be trash. Last time I made that mistake was with D3, oh boy, was that game a dumpster fire on release. The next thing I'm gonna buy without testing it first will be the Fangs of Asterkarn expansion for Grim Dawn. The devs are awesome, the base game is awesome and the last 2 DLCs were awesome too, so that's why I don't need my pirate hat in this instance.
