Why would you pre-order something that has unlimited supply? What other industry of products has people pre-order stuff that won't run out of supply? I just don't get the point of ever pre-ordering a game no matter how much I think I want to play it or how much a love a certain developer.
The only reason I can see as being remotely justified is dev support, for a dev that has a great track record you know it's gonna be good no matter what.
The only time I ever pre-order is usually if it's a niche game or game where there's only going to be limited copies. or if I know I'm going to be playing a crap out of the game. Otherwise, I rarely pre-order games. Especially of the AAA variety.
I wanted to try it at launch (first time ever for a CDPR game personally) and the price doesn’t change before or right after release? Also the GoG version comes with a ton of extras as usual. I knew I wanted to play it anyways, plus several YouTubers like Skill-Up were already talking it up on PC for what that’s worth.
Although now with everything digital, limited copies is only for special edition packages or the crappy practice of locking exclusive game items behind preorders, instead of making them available to all buyers.
Because pre-ordering, from an actual store anyway, is in my view a clever method of paying for the game over time without one blowing an entire entertainment spending budget in one go.
It's interesting to me that you keep claiming that Dead Rising 4 is "more fun" than Cyberpunk 2077 when you've already admitted that you've never touched Cyberpunk nor have any intention to.
And your point being what? I am not wasting $60 on a game that ain't close to finish no matter which platform. You must have missed my other posts, so read those while you're at it.
Congratulations, you have a different opinion. Welcome to life and the Internet. I don't care nor does it bother me. Glad you're having fun. I rather play other games in a cyberpunk setting. I made this super clear in the thread early on.
Ahem....
I don't care much for the time limit either, but 2 and especially 3 give you way more leeway and are much more forgiving. Seriously, 3 let's you dick around a lot. I wish 3 had gotten ported to PS4 by now. It should have. I would love to play the Ultra Dead Rising 3 DLC so much. A tribute to everything Capcom, and it is fun. 4 does not have the time limit, but prepare to be bored out of your fucking skull and even more frustrated.
Oh I totally understand you not wanting to play a half-baked game. I just don't understand how you can claim that one game is "more fun" than another game when you've never touched said game.
By who's authority? Certainly not CDPRs. Not some grand council that's an overseer of all things gaming and gamers. Sure as hell not yours. If you like Cyberpunk, more power to you. But guess what? I did not come to this forum for your fucking approval or standards. Get over it. It's my opinion and I am sticking to it. They are both bad games that were rushed out the door either way. Even if I take Dead Rising out of the equation, there are better games with a cyberpunk setting that I am playing, played, or rather be playing. You have game and you're having your fun. I am not taking that away from you. I don't know why your being so anal or pedantic about, but I don't give rat's ass. So cut the crap and go back and play what gives you joy, and I am gonna play what gives me joy.
You simply can't say that something is or isn't fun without playing it, just like you can't say that something does or doesn't taste good without having tried it.
Semantics and nothing more. While you have some points, I know myself more than you know me. You can't tell what's fun for me and what is not. From what I've seen, I am not gonna have fun with the game. I am not spending $60 on it. Hell, even after everything is "fixed" and in the state it should have been in the first place, I'll still have no interests and will not be spending money on sales or lesser prices. Listen and put a sock in it: If you are having fun, more power to you. I don't care about your goddamn approval. Play C2077 and move on with your life. If you keep being repetitive and constantly bringing up, I will ignore you. You can keep crying all day, I won't be listening.
I like high quality sushi.
Hey, I'm not trying to convince you to buy the game or anything, I'm just saying that the argument you're using is flawed.
Because I know me; end of fucking lecture. We're done here; moving on to something else. I am gonna go play Age of Calamity and Zombie Army 4. You have fun arguing with yourself.
He did say the game was unfinished. Plus, at least for me, all the things I highly value in a game he said weren't in it. The line "Broadly speaking, Night City looks and feels far more impressive than it plays" had me significantly disinterested in playing it even when it does get finished because that aspect isn't going to be patched in.
Or you can like put $5 per week/fortnight/month in a jar and pay for it that way. Or you can set up your account to auto move the money into say your PayPal account and only use that account for gaming purchases. Or you can just not get say that $5 Starbucks once a week (or whatever your daily vice is if you have one). There's many ways of paying for something over time that doesn't involve giving your money to another company that they make money off of.
I will pre-order when it comes with extra shit, like soundtracks or bonus items, and only when it's a game I know I wanna buy anyway. It's not like you can't refund digital games anymore, so there is no risk.
I mean Hipster has a point dude. You can talk made shit about CyberPunk, but there are somethings you can't rightly say without playing it or any game. The game being fun is one of them. You can say "it doesn't look fun to me" which is opinion, but outright saying the game can't possibly be fun is just hyperbole. Hating on a game is fine, but sometimes the way you say it just doesn't sit right.
Dude I love art books! I never look at them, but I like having them......it's weird.
I know know why you would do that. I love reading and viewing art books. The best parts are seeing the storyboards and background art game. It's even better with the concept art. The art books that came with my pre-orders I've enjoyed the most are Killer Is Dead and Code of Princess (3DS).
