One time I pre ordered a less popular game from Gamestop and they didn't even bother to order any copies. They gladly took my money and never had any intention of honoring their agreement. Another time I tried to buy Unreal Tournament 2k4 from Gamestop on release day and the fucker gave me a whole bunch of poo poo for not pre ordering. He went on and on with this lecture on how I wouldn't get a copy for weeks because no store would be foolish enough to hold inventory. I then walked across the street and bought it from Best Buy.

RVWinkle posted:I then walked across the street and bought it from Best Buy. Yeah what really sealed the deal on the preorder poo poo for me wasn't even the advent of the digital stuff, it was just the fact that Gamestop et all would be hugely up their own buttholes while big box retailers stocked poo poo tons of copies anyway. I got GTA4 at midnight at Best Buy with no preorder, and they gave me a free t-shirt. I still have it I think.

first game I ever preordered was Zelda OoT for the gold cartridge and the Musselmen fire temple music probably the only thing i ever preordered that was worth it other than the disc they gave you with a bunch of old Zeldas with Wind Waker back in my day video games and their marketing were cool and good but only for Zelda apparently

The Dennis System posted:Dude, what? MGS5 is baller. MGSV legitimately sucked dick solely because it pulled one of those faux-cinematic "you're a wounded soldier wandering through a hospital" moments where the controls are rear end and you have to sit around listening to an NPC blather on about poo poo you don't care about before you've even gotten oriented. I sat through 20 minutes of bullshit before I set down the controller and said "no way." That poo poo isn't novel, it isn't fun, and it goes directly against a series that by and large had the good sense to throw you into the action right away. It could work if you're 13 and have a ton of free time, but I ain't sitting around waiting for it to "get good." I've got wikipedia and youtube mothefuckers I ain't gotta be held hostage for poo poo if I don't want to. Throw me a save file where I can jump right into the open world bits which I heard are awesome and yeah, I bet it's pretty baller.

I will pre-order games now and again because I have a budget for entertainment and just take it from there. Most of my stuff through is purchased through Steam and have taken advantage of their return policy if something is a huge turd. The only time I was going to pre-order a game from GameStop was in 2014 and they had the "digital downloads" in the store and the guy told me that I'd have to come back in on release day to pick up my code. I said, "That's stupid. I'll just buy it from your website and get it the code emailed to me." I haven't stepped foot in a GameStop since.

I guess it depends on whether you can hold off from buying them long enough to see which way the reviews are going. If you plan on buying it as soon as it comes out on launch day regardless then you might as well preorder and get the discount or bonus content or whatever they offer.

Also, Yoot Tower (simtower 2) used to be freeware. a free copy of it might still be kicking around somehwere. It's much better than Simtower but has all the classic graphics.

Yeah true, I was just thinking 'well if I was gonna play that tower game on day 1 anyway might as well take the discount.' I can handle a lot of shittiness from games if they scratch a genre itch. Tbh I almost pulled the trigger lol but I just now bought the new Hitman so whatever.

last game i preordered was resident evil revelations 2. i like resident evil games, and for years capcom has done really solid pc ports so it was an exception to my no preorder policy. it was an awful port that ran like garbage on every computer known to man. they eventually patched it into an acceptable state, but that was enough of a lesson to get through even my stupid head.

Canadians, between our increasingly-poo poo dollar and 30% off pre-order deals and various other deals which stack. Pre-ordering at the right time can mean you essentially pay half price for the game. At least you can cancel/send it back for a refund relatively consequence-free.

symbolic posted:kickstarting is worse than pre-ordering because at least you know for a fact you're going to get SOMETHING when you pre-order This. Preordering is stupid as gently caress because you don't know what you are getting, but kickstarting something is insanely stupid because you may not get anything at all. Don't contribute to kickstarter anything and when a game is released just wait a few days for reviews/hotfixes to come out you dumb impatient babies.

Sometimes you get cool bonus itams. The only game I preordered was GTAV and it was worth it cause I put a billion hours into it. I may preorder dishonored 2 but I dunno. E: there's some ridiculous preorder box set for dishonored 2 on Amazon for like $200 lol

i would pre order a game if they made pics of what the game will look like and it looks super cool, and they make pics of downloadable content and it looks super cool, and if they say people are giving them millions of dollars so they will for sure be able to make the super cool game, i will not only pre order the game, i will pre order the downloadable content, in fact, i would spend thousands, possibly tens of thousands of dollars on the downloadable content, if the representative pics look super cool and they write super cool descriptions on what the things in the pics do (this has actually happened and is happening right now at this very minute)

I preordered A Link Between Worlds like 4 days before it came out because I knew I was getting out of work between 11:30 and midnight and they'd be open because it was the same night PS4/XBOX were released. The people that were in line for the consoles were visibly annoyed that the guys at the store let me in at 11:58 so I could get the game at 12 and walk out as they were letting people in. It was worth it just for the scowl on those nerds faces because they'd been waiting in front of the store since I walked by them at 4:30.
