Pre-orders (Official Thread)

Unless there is ridiculously awesome bonuses for pre orders, pre-ordering makes little sense.

In fact, I'm planning on waiting a couple of weeks till I buy the game to make sure the worst bugs have been fixed before I start my first playthrough. 

Probably. I'd like to have it loaded up on my system so I can get my fix immediately. I probably would've spent that $60 on some other nonsense anyways, so whatevs.

Searched it before posting, didn't found it.

Myself, I'm gonna tempt fate. I've had only two crashes in DX:MD after 2 full playthoughts (85 hours).

Damn, I am an inept for searching D:

Yes

Need a BL Marcus gif for this 

As long as you deliver...all the games I've pre-ordered in my life so far have delivered. Will you?

In fact, I've had way more dissapointments with games that I didn't pre-ordered than I've had with pre-ordered games. The key is patience and to only pre-order what you know that it won't dissapoint you

Old topic, same answer.

No.

I was thinking Wayne's World, when Garth asked Wayne if he found Bugs Bunny in a dress attractive 

True. Old fashioned cold reason probably has less to do with my preordering decisions than I would like to think. Especially in the case of TW:W, because its predecessor Rome 2 was released as quite the hot mess, so I reasonably should not have preordered. I was fully aware of that, I basically just had a gut feeling that told me that it would be fine.

That same gut feeling told me to not buy DA2, but the reasonable thing was "it's from the studio that made DA:O, what can possibly go wrong?".

Erm. So. Not preordering ME:A.

This is usually how I feel, which is why I didn't preorder Overwatch, for example, but for myself, Mass Effect and Dragon Age are special exemptions. I've invested so much time and been satisfied with each enough to warrant the risk.

How interesting.

I liked DA2, though I'm not fond of the reusable assets and the Carta dropping from the sky. The main  reasons I like it is because  I could play as a melee character. That AUTO ATTACK mode really helped me. In this game I can play as a tank or as a Rogue. Otherwise, I'd be swinging at empty air, which is exactly what I do with Skyrim in First Person mode and DA:I with it's totally change PC controls... I compensate by choosing long range classes.

DA:I delivered a strong lesson about buying unseen, which I've taken to heart.
