chakoo Posted August 2, 2020 Share Posted August 2, 2020 I only have one old pre-order for Metroid 4 switch atm. 39 minutes ago, stepee said: i don’t understand preordering anything anymore I only do it when it looks to be a low print run game or I'm getting a good deal. Like my metroid preorder is $20 off because it was tied to e3 preorders. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EternallDarkness Posted August 2, 2020 Share Posted August 2, 2020 only preorder I have is Cyberpunk and it's because I ordered it when i still had gamer club or whatever the BB thingie was called so I got 20% off plus it has a 10 dollar gift card with purchase.

Nokt Posted August 3, 2020 Share Posted August 3, 2020 I still have a reservation for Final Fantasy Versus XIII at GameStop. I’m sure at this point it’s been cancelled, but as far as I’m aware I was never informed or given my $5 back. So I still consider it pre-ordered.

Spawn_of_Apathy Posted August 3, 2020 Share Posted August 3, 2020 I don’t think I’ve ever had a game on preorder for more than a year. Even with delays, any game I’ve preordered came out within a year of that preorder. Mass Effect titles, Halo titles, Forza titles. Those were the only games I wanted to be sure I got my Limited/Collector’s edition. So I’d preorder as soon as they went live. Anything else, and especially since I went digital only in 2013 there hasn’t been a reason to preorder right away. So I usually preorder within the last month, even down the last week before a game comes out. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jason Posted August 3, 2020 Share Posted August 3, 2020 6 hours ago, stepee said: i don’t understand preordering anything anymore I put in Bayonetta 3 and Metroid Prime 4 preorders right before the 20% Prime discount for preorders was discontinued to lock in the discount. So those preorders are around two years old now. Otherwise yeah, lol at preorders. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ALIEN-gunner Posted August 3, 2020 Share Posted August 3, 2020 I kinda feel sorry for all those poor souls who preordered Squadron 42 8 years ago. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

johnny Posted August 3, 2020 Share Posted August 3, 2020 No. I only preorder something to have it preloaded so I can play it and not wait for downloading. I preordered TLOU2 and Ghost of Tsushima a little more than a week before they came out. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
XxEvil AshxX Posted August 3, 2020 Share Posted August 3, 2020 I can't remember the last game I pre-ordered. Probably Skyrim (the first time it came out). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CastlevaniaNut18 Posted August 3, 2020 Share Posted August 3, 2020 I still preorder stuff, mostly special editions and such. And Amiibo. I don't see the big deal with it. You can always cancel. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TwinIon Posted August 3, 2020 Share Posted August 3, 2020 I pre-ordered a few games on Amazon back when they were ending their 15% discounts on pre-orders, but I think the last one was FF7R. Most of the time if I pre order something, it's the weekend before release. It's odd, but sometimes physical pre-orders are still the best deals on new games.

Kickstarter is the closest I get to months/years long pre-orders and that really shouldn't count as a pre-order. The soonest I order a game is usually the soonest I can preload a game prior to launch. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
vaxick Posted August 3, 2020 Share Posted August 3, 2020 When my Gamers Club expired, I went on a pre-order spree just in case I wanted something at launch with the 20% off discount. All that's left is Cyberpunk and a couple of games that have no release date. I'm also still waiting for Rent A Hero No. 1 for the Xbox that I pre-ordered at Funcoland. I lost the receipt so I'm doomed if it ever comes out. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dodger Posted August 4, 2020 Share Posted August 4, 2020 These days I have nothing preordered and if I do want to preorder something it will be a week or two before launch just to get the pre load ready for launch day. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LazyPiranha Posted February 12, 2022 Share Posted February 12, 2022 I don’t preorder anything these days unless it’s a Nintendo game I want a physical copy of that I know I want to play day one, and even the I almost never do it. With a Nintendo game though, screw it, shits not getting a price drop in the next decade anyway. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

best3444 Posted February 12, 2022 Share Posted February 12, 2022 I do miss the good ole days before digital though. It was great to go to the store and pick up your copy along with everyone else. Now I don't buy physical games at all. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Aside from my switch(partly because of limited space, but mostly because I don't tris Nintendo with my digital library), I haven't bought a physical game in two generations.

This is true. I always buy a physical copy of Nintendo games. I'll probably end up buying Kirby if it turns out good. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GameDadGrant Posted February 12, 2022 Share Posted February 12, 2022 This advice will likely fall on deaf ears, but you can trust Nintendo with your digital purchases. I don’t know where this irrational fear came from, but it’s completely unfounded. I’ve had a couple buddies either lose or accidentally destroy their hardware…and they got all their digital stuff back. Heck, my own 3DS took a dump back in 2020 and I was able to recover all my downloads. If any company I don’t trust with my digital stuff, it’s Xbox. Since my account has been hacked a couple times and my games either get nuked and replaced with crap I wouldn’t buy (like I suddenly owned Madden for no apparent reason a few years back). That said, I’ve had a habit of buying physical copies, just because I like the tangible feeling of a game in my hands. Even for my PS5, since the storage on that machine is a complete joke.

nublood Posted February 12, 2022 Share Posted February 12, 2022 Kena was the first game I’ve ever pre-ordered. Since then I’ve pre-ordered Elden Ring and Horizon Forbidden West, all digital copies.

Stan for switch, calls ps5 storage a joke. Thats a straight up lol. And why i don't trust Nintendo is because my digital editions of games that were on both WiiU and Switch had to be bought again. Fuck that noise. Until Nintendo has a unified store, ill never use it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bruh. Don't tell me you think the PS5 storage is great. LOL. Yeah, the digital editions of your games from Wii U don't transfer to the Switch. Your mistake was buying a Wii U in the first place!
