Do you pre order games?

Pre ordering games is something gamers who would love to have early access to the games usually do. I hardly do it because most of the time these game companies never deliver what they promised and promote.

Have you purchased any games on pre order?

RE: Do you pre order games?

I do sometimes digitally the big titles. Few times have I paid $5 for a pre-order of a physical copy and highly unlikely I would. But call of duty and halo and things like that. Maybe ghost recon and stuff the answer is yes.

I never pre ordered before, not even on my intentions at this time to pre order games, I prefer waiting for the game to get released and I buy at my own will.

RE: Do you pre order games?

I have had a few games which I purchased on pre orders that came out very good. The Last Of Us Part 2 is a very good example of such games. I got Battlefield 2042 on pre order and it turned out to be a very bad decision.

RE: Do you pre order games?

My experience with pre ordering Cyberpunk 2077 was the last time that I'm ever going to purchase any game on pre order. I don't even see much need to have the early access to the games. It's better to wait till the game is fully released before I pay for them.

It depends on the game. When the type of game is one that can be scarce when it is finally out, then paying for a pre order is not a big deal.

I have never heard that a game is scarce to purchase especially when it's a digital copy of the games. It's only digital copies that are being pre ordered.

I'm not among the kind of gamers who pre order games. I don't see it as something that's important to do. Pre order or no pre order, it's still the same game.

You have a very good point there which I agree with completely. I can wait and there's nothing that's going to change in the game. In fact, it's better to wait and see the bugs and glitches the game might come with get fixed before you buy.

Yeah, it's sort of the reason why I don't do it. I have seen a lot of games broken at its launch and when you have paid but can't play it, that sucks.

Making pre orders for games can be risky especially when the game doesn't live up to the hype. So, I don't like pre ordering games for any reason.

I almost pre ordered God of War Ragnarok because of how the game was hyped. It was actually that good when it came out but I ended up not pre ordering it.

This game was actually on my wish list but I haven't gotten it yet , I am also planning on purchasing this game and playing it for my self.

I haven't pre-ordered any game in the past though.

You end up paying more now that you want to get the game.

Even if you have pre ordered the game, you wouldn't feel bad about it.

It's a game that's worth it. The same thing can be said about Elden Ring.

No, I don't pre order games. I have never done it once and I'm very sure that it's not going to happen with me as far as video games are concerned.

You get games cheaper whenever you purchase the games on pre order. It's why a lot of people are interested in buying on pre order.

I only pay for new games. I don't have the money to buy new games before they are out.

If the games are worth buying on pre order, it's good. Take for instance, buying God of War Ragnarok in pre order is good.

I pre order video games once in a while. It's really a bad way to go about purchasing video games as long as you have the money.
