Not a gif but when I saw it I bought the game, and love it.

There is a gif of Street Fighter 4 I saw somebody did a super but was countered by an ultra, I bought it soon after for the pc.

C'mon man, shes like the worst and most unnecessary addition bro

 

[BTHR Zero X]

Just Cause 2

Thank you, I am now going to get it xD

I laughed so hard when someone posted that in the OT. I think it was even made by a Gaffer (the addition of the last picture at least). Originally it was just the first two.

This thread is awesome and I'll be making some purchases this weekend. I need to play JC2, it's on my PS+. How long does it take to open up for maximum sandbox fun?

Do play it on PC if you have a capable machine. Vanilla JC2 is good, Modded JC2 is god-tier.

As for your question, it opens up very quickly.

Yep, I came here to post this.

[Sapphire Dreams]

Gifs are not enough to sell a game to me...

 

[drkOne]

So.... Uh.... What game this might be.

For scientific reasons of course

Looks like Warriors Orochi or maybe Dynasty Warriors, don't know which tho.

 

[Joeshabadoo]

So many hilarious gifs lol

When i saw this gif i thought WTFITS?
How a spammable feature that let me pass over all the enemies, platforms, obstacles and bonuses is supposed to sell me on a platformer? :\

Lol spammable feature. You have any idea the kind of timing and coordination it would take to actually pull off runs like that in co-op. 'Spect the skills, don't hate.

Also this thread proves that F-Zero GX was an astonishing achievement considering the platform, and that Just Cause 2 and Dragon's Dogma are quite bad-ass

How do you guys view this thread

I'm on a powerful workstation and business interweb and Chrome starts crying every page I load. Can barely scroll at all.

Do other browsers handle it better? :C

Chrome is notoriously bad with gifs.

 

[inky]

Chrome is shit for .gifs

But I can't go back to firefox now (cause it is shit with almost everything else, especially flash).

What? Placing/jumping platforms at the same distance is that difficult? lol

[efyu_lemonardo]

i really believe that after you think long and hard about it, you'll have a eureka moment. I'm optimistic like that.

So am I for you

Since FC3 seems to be a much better game than its predecessor I hereby proclaim that from this day "Punching the shark" should be pretty much the opposite of jumping the shark

I am for this.

Also, what's the name of the one with the skiing midget?

 

[Joeshabadoo]

What? Placing/jumping platforms at the same distance is that difficult? lol

right because each one of those plats is being spawned at the same x/y grid spot, and the timing is clearly constant and repeated

 

[speculawyer]

Seriously now, what is this from. It is beyond ridiculous.

The reverse: The GIF that prevented ANYONE from buying a game:

 

[Azure Phoenix]

,

I was hoping this'd get posted. The only gif to ever convince me to buy a game and I was happy with the purchase.

 

[Muffdraul]

I thought my answer was 'no' but when I saw that on pg 1 it reminded me, actually yeah I did buy GT5 because of a gif. I normally never have any interest whatsoever in GT or any other realistic driving games, but goddamn that gif looks so sweet. I bought it and installed it months ago, but I still haven't actually played it yet. I am not being sarcastic or hyperbolic or trying to be funny when I say that by the time it had finished installing, I had lost interest. I figured I'd play it later that night or the next day but for whatever reason it never happened and I moved on. Obviously I still intend to play it at some point.

Sorry to see comments to the effect that it's a bullshot gif somehow. I remember the first time I saw it and thinking "oh man I hope this is what driving in GTA V will look like."

 

[The Elite]

This looks like it could be Ninja Gaiden Xbox kind of special. A

 

[Shao Kahn Brewing a Stew]

,

I didn't pay for it, but the MotorStorm Apocalypse GIFs convinced me to download it from PS+.

Yep. This wants me to get this game so badly, but knowing its on EU PS+, I'm now waiting for NA release.

 

[Nymerio]

Not a gif but when I saw it I bought the game, and love it.

There is a gif of Street Fighter 4 I saw somebody did a super but was countered by an ultra, I bought it soon after for the pc.

I remember that I was going to wait for a sale on that game, but after I saw this image I bought it on the spot.

This should actually be a thing for OTs: Images that may convince you to buy this game.

 

[Megasoum]

Is that the motorstorm game that came with the Sony Playstation TV? I never unwrapped my copy...maybe I should check it out lol.

 

[silenttwn]

Gifs are not enough to sell a game to me...

Why are you in this thread?

 

[Interfectum]

Why are you in this thread?

To pretend like he's better than everyone else.

 

[Ferrio]

So am I for you



I am for this.

Also, what's the name of the one with the skiing midget?

It and the horse racing gifs aren't really a game, they're flash videos from a japanese website. The horse one is from a horse racing website, and they run a parody horse racing games.

 

[artist]

Only winners in this thread so far (in order)

Just Cause 2
Kill Zone 2
MotoStorm

Spoiler

And I agree. I may probably add Uncharted.

 

[kiryogi]

So.... Uh.... What game this might be.

For scientific reasons of course

Dynasty Warriors 7/Warriors Orochi 3

 

[Chet Rippo]

I've never really had say a gif sell me on a game, but I have had GAF threads that have. MHT comes to mind.

 

[legacyzero]

Can't really nail down a gif, but I know the pc screenshot thread has sold me a few games.

 

[lightchris]

Why are you in this thread?

Why not? He gave an answer to what was specifally asked by the OP.

 

[maniac-kun]

Came to post this.

 

[Rinoa]

 

[geebee]

What game is this?

 

[N30RYU]

What game is this?

Should be a Dynasty Warrior

**edit**
Yes, Dynasty Warriors 7 Xtreme Legends

 

[Saint Gregory]

Damn, why is Dragon's Dogma still so expensive?

It was $10 during the "Microsoft's Lost Their Minds!" BF deals. But yeah, I missed out on it too :'(

Did I miss the Journey gifs? That's the only game I've ever bought based on a gif and I still haven't gotten around to playing it.

 

[Punkster_NY]

tha...that's just so wrong. lol

 

[RazorEdge]

Came to post this.

What is it?

 

[Satchel]

I have the game but I don't remember it looking like that.

Because it doesn't look like that.

I worry for anyone who would buy a game based of a compressed animated image that in almost no way reflects how the game will look on screen in front of you.

 

[Slamtastic]

 

[ElFly]

,

I didn't pay for it, but the MotorStorm Apocalypse GIFs convinced me to download it from PS+.

Pretty sure I bought the game the day I saw this gif.

Worth it.

 

[Teppic]

Remember these ones from Halo 3. Was already sold on the game, but it made me look forward to it even more.

 

[Skyzard]

Lack of wipeout gifs :'(

[going to improve my tiny regular one, uno momento]

yeah man Skyzard's done so plenty of times.

dem wipeout gifs. Before he showed me those, I had a broken definition of "quality" in my head. Now I'm on a horse.

hahaha, you bastard... & old spice?

 

[Stencil]

sleepingdogsdriving.gif

Wow, this has certainly piqued my interest...

Also, I bought Journey based off that gif. You know the one.
