mechatech Posted March 11, 2013 Share Posted March 11, 2013 One commenter said that in the past you bought a finished product. No pre order or retailer specific bonuses, no dlc, no microtransactions to unlock already present content. That's amazing, what a novel concept. /sarcasm Thoughts?

Werne Posted March 11, 2013 Share Posted March 11, 2013 (edited) I never preorder anything, if I am to buy something then I want to know what the hell I'm throwing my money at. And ordering something you know absolutely nothing about is just plain stupid. :yes: I didn't preorder Far Cry 2 even though I loved the first one, it sucked and I saved money. Didn't preorder FC3 either, it sucks like the second and I saved money. :thumbsup: I didn't preorder Skyrim even though I have and like a few of Bethesda's titles (Fallout 3/NV and TES III/IV). It's because I knew Bethesda will screw it up and release a patch a few days after the game. And I was wrong, they actually released it the same day they released the game. They released a screwed up game, they knew it was screwed up but they did it anyway. I bought it later when they fixed it up a bit, after that "dragons flying backwards" patch. ;D I didn't preorder Serious Sam 3 even though I have and freakin' love the first two. It didn't suck (it was actually awesome) but I got it for quarter-price a month later during some steam sale thingy, along with the first two I didn't even need since I have the old ones from before Croteam switched them to steam. Didn't get some ugly character, big deal. :rolleyes: Anyhow, just with these examples alone I saved about 150$. If I were to preorder them, I'd have a bunch of games (with crappy bonuses) that suck and a 150$ less. Simple as that.

hoofhearted4 Posted March 11, 2013 Share Posted March 11, 2013 @jim_uk, i knew this thread looked familiar. i do pre order games sometimes. like StarCraft2. i wouldhave pre ordered Heart of the Swarm, i just dont have the money right now....i usualy pre order if i either really want the game, or i get some cool little gadget in the game haha. the only game ive pre ordered that i was dissappointed with was FONV, i predered for PS3 cause i played FO3 on PS3 ad loved it...i soon traded FONV it and got it for PC and modded it, then it was sorta fun. lol. on a different note, i just started playing FC3 the other day, never played the others, and only about an hour or 2 in, and im having a blast with it so far :P Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I didn't. When I don't listen to that little voice I usually fail. I wish there was a thread delete button. 0/2 today. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
