A crucial note for every PC gaming enthusiast!
Pre-ordering isn't something to challenge, focus on that particular action... Initially, it was a shortcut to avoid waiting in line, a perk kids have enjoyed. Now it's mainly about securing your funds before the event. I'll remain thoughtful (considering the lack of heeding warnings), keep my Fallout 4 pre-order safe, and look forward to playing when it launches.
Sure, that does sound a bit amusing. However, he did present some solid arguments this time (he has done so before). You're spending money on something you haven't received yet or aren't sure will work well. It gives developers or publishers the chance to launch incomplete games—like the AC Unity project—and still generate revenue. It implies we're tolerating a product that's not fully finished, which sends the message that it's acceptable despite its state. Not every game released is bad at launch, but I believe we should vote more carefully with our money instead of jumping on hype beforehand. I also think we need to focus more on quality versus cost.
It's disappointing since Payday 2 was available a long time ago, and now the changes have introduced microtransactions that affect everyone, whether you buy the game in advance or not.
It doesn't matter what game you like—Nintendo, Fallout, or Kotor 3—I'll never preorder (thought the pip-boy is really cool, I have to admit).
It seems this might be a simplified version of a WWII-era game similar to Battlefield 1943, with less content. I expected a higher price point—around £25 or £30—possibly including some extra content later. A lot of opportunity was overlooked here. Also, preordering can be risky unless you're sure about the product, like with a developer known for quality games or something solid such as a visual novel.
