StaceyPowers Posted March 11, 2019 Share Posted March 11, 2019 Who here pre-orders games? If you do pre-order, do you usually get standard game editions, or do you opt for the premium editions which come with all the extras? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alexander. Posted March 11, 2019 Share Posted March 11, 2019 (edited) No. I choose not to pre order video games. Most of the time when it comes to new console and game releases, my preference is to wait a while after the initial release of the computer game as the price tends to reduce over time.

UleTheVee Posted March 12, 2019 Share Posted March 12, 2019 I usually go for my gut instincts. If a game turns out to be looking good, I pre-order, If it doesn't, I usually wait before release or buy post-launch. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
skyfire Posted March 13, 2019 Share Posted March 13, 2019 If it is FPS then I usually look through the demo and the trailer and gameplays. If all of those are good then yeah, going for the pre order makes sense to me. Though I am kind of skeptical about games such as New Dawn. I definitely don't want to play such type of games after ordering them if they have agenda in it. Humble bundle pre order also looks like a good deal to me. I got ebook bundle once in pre order it was a good deal. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SpaceExplorer Posted March 13, 2019 Share Posted March 13, 2019 I never pre-ordered. I first read a review and other people's opinions before buying the game. It helps me to see whether I would really enjoy it or not. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DylanC Posted March 13, 2019 Share Posted March 13, 2019 I’ve pre-ordered games in the past. It’s usually when there’s a really good deal for a game I’m gonna buy, or when there’s some freebies thrown in (like a soundtrack/artbook/badges etc). I haven’t pre-ordered a game for years, though.

The Blackangel Posted March 13, 2019 Share Posted March 13, 2019 I've pre-ordered a few. I pre-ordered The new God Of War that came out on PS4, and I pre-ordered For Honor (gold edition). Elder Scrolls: Elsweyr is coming out on June 4th. When I first saw the trailer for the game on YouTube, I initially thought it was a movie trailer. I'm going to order it when I get a few bucks in my pocket. The pre-order has a lot of extra features, that the regular pick up order won't have. I pre-order series that I'm a big fan of, like God Of War. Other series that I like or games that just look really awesome to me I'll pre-order. But I don't do it often.

kingpotato Posted February 20, 2020 Share Posted February 20, 2020 Anybody here planning on Pre-ordering the Last of Us 2? My concerns about the game itself is that if by preordering or buying the deluxe edition if it will grant us access to any future DLC ? (Dont know if the game will have any DLC like the first) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
skyfire Posted February 21, 2020 Share Posted February 21, 2020 Currently with all the top games delayed due to corona and PS5 delay. I think my pre orders are saving me money lol. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Patrik Posted January 26, 2021 Share Posted January 26, 2021 Never ever pre-order, wait for reviews! no matter what the product is (console, PC part, games or anything else that nobody knows), just look at cyberpunk for example or anything else that got released and disappointed people :( Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
staticradio725 Posted January 26, 2021 Share Posted January 26, 2021 I'll only pre-order if it's the latest installment in a franchise I'm already invested in. I know I'm going to play that bad boy the day it comes out, no matter how much it sucks or doesn't suck. Because it's just that much easier than walking around the internet with horse blinders on trying to avoid spoilers. Otherwise, if it's not part of a series, I'll wait a year or two until the price drops and/or I can buy a used copy. Unfortunately, buying used copies of games is going to get harder in the future, I think, with most game purchases being digital these days.

Empire Posted January 27, 2021 Share Posted January 27, 2021 I haven't pre-ordered a game for a very long time, last I can remember was BF3. Recently, however, I pre-ordered Battlefront 3. I am a huge fan and can't wait for this game however I waited then it came then I had to cancel the order, and the moment it comes out I wanted to play it, but didn't happen. I am not concerned with performance issues or a lazy port job. I just want to play the dang game. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Syntax Posted February 3, 2021 Share Posted February 3, 2021 Last time I did was for No Mans Sky - and man what a bust. Since then I avoid it like the plague since great games are already overvalued (ex; Cyberpunk on release day). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
m76 Posted February 4, 2021 Share Posted February 4, 2021 I pre-order games that I'm sold on. What difference does it make if I pre-order or buy it on release day? As for which version that depends on the extra features and costs. But recently most digital deluxe and gold editions were just not worth the price. They only include a few useless in-game items and a season pass. And I hate live service games so a season pass is of no use to me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Family sedan Posted February 5, 2021 Share Posted February 5, 2021 I've never pre-ordered a game. I've never seen a pressing need to do so. Then again, my newest console is a PS3. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
