Oh I will likely buy it.
It is, after all, not a Witcher Game. I am concerned though with where they go with this since much of the marketing for the past seven years has been confusing, at best. the past three months have been better thanks to gameplay.

It seem like they're going to give Cyberpunk 2077 as much,if not more love than they gave the witcher series, so it is definitely a pre-order for me.
I am not scared of downgrades because that is not important to me. Heck, I consider DAO to be the best of DA series even it it looked wonky and very buggy. Writing, stories and narrative always takes first for me. And bugs? Except for the water diving bug 4x I had in TW3 and 1 hard crash, I never had problems with it.
My only immediate problem is if my current rig will run the gdamned game smoothly, which I dont think it will :/

... to justify a pre-order, so I'm in... A philosophical objection to pre-orders, PdL, or this game specifically? I enjoy playing games and like to play them when they launch. I do occasionally cancel pre-orders based on pre-launch information, Fallout 76 being one example.

Personally I feel it is basically wasted money for mostly nothing in return. Call me modern but I don't see a reason in times when SKUs aren't necssarily counted in physical form anymore.

I can cancel an Xbox pre-order prior to a few days before launch, by which time I've got plenty of information to make a judgment.

I'll probably preorder because GOG usually offers a discount. Plus you have the return policy, so it's a no brainier for me. And I feel their track record is solid enough.

I don't what games people are buying that do that, but none of my Bioware DA/ME pre-orders have been charged until the game release date. People have complained on the official forums with both Mass Effect and Dragon Age when they were using PayPal as their payment method, so it might have more to do with payment options over source or even country of origin.

I just checked my CC statement from when I bought MEA. I ordered it via Origin on 3/4 and it was billed to my account on 3/11. Official release was 3/21 but I dl'd it and played early through Origin access so maybe that's why it was billed early? I guess I never noticed because I don't pre-order things that far in advance. I wait until pretty close to release when I'm 100% certain of the purchase.

Do these devs expect me to pay 200 bucks for their game on launch? I don't usually pre-order but for this one, I was ready to plunk down whatever they asked for to get their biggest deluxe package that they were going to offer. I was super hyped for this game. Then the no TPP news came and completely killed all my excitement. From what I've seen it looks like its going to be a great FPS/RPG and I am still pretty bummed that I am going to miss out on it.

I'm going to laugh when Cyberpunk 2077 ends up being a glitch-riddled piece of shit.
Not that it'll stop CDPR fans from worshipping the game and treating their delusional psychosis as justification to harass and threaten BioWare fans and staff, because they know how stupid they are to idolize CDPR.

The salt is strong with this one.
I love sci-fi, so I'll give Cyberpunk a try. Probably after a patch or two. Why would anyone preorder in today's world of digital distribution and devs/publishers releasing games before they're cooked properly?

I will buy it but probably when it gets discounts. Two reasons: 1) it's first person. I tend not to like this one bit. 2) I intend to spend less on videogames in 2019

From what I have read and seen so far, this game should be right up my alley. So in all likelihood I will be playing it at or shortly after release.
