Best preorder game you've bought?

none, not that i say i didnt enjoy the, i just say it wasnt worth paying overprice for it.

but these are games worth playing (especially on a dissent Price):

dragon age origin, mass effect, xcom eu, s.t.a.l.k.e.r

deadly premonition and final fantasy xiii (i got it on console so doesnt count) and To the moon

None, I never preorder. I DID win preorder for games, though. So far, I haven't played them.

best and only preorder: isaac rebirth

Half Life 3!

Halo 2

I used to be good and had significant playtime on it >>
between it and mechassault(2 was fun, but I sold it to gamestop pretty quickly as my favorite mech wasnt avail basically on any map) my original xbox w/ live days were amazing

Fable Anniversary

Rebirth

best.indie.evah

Metro: Last Light

Bit.Trip Runner 2 is the only game I've preordered to date aside form Worms Clan Wars, so Runner 2 wins by a long shot.

Borderlands 2 :D

Chaos Legion

The stick of truth!

I think I've only preordered one game, Portal 2 (me and my brother each paying half)
Well worth it of course. Absolutely amazing game. Had it on Xbox and now got it on Steam.

The Crew and Binding of Isaac Rebirth

I pre-ordered bioshock infinte, definitely worth it.

Middle Earth: Shadow of Mordor

Bioshock Infinite. Hands down.

For me, Portal 2. Borderlands: The Pre-Sequel runs a close second though.

The worst...Duke Nukem Forever. I bought it on the premise that Gearbox was doing it, so I went ahead and pre-ordered. I don't often pre-order unless the game looks like it will be awesome enough to warrant it. Found out too late that I should have waited. It's okay, but not worth the money I spent on it. :P

First game I have ever preordered and I'm not disappointed at all, The Binding of Isaac: Rebirth, awesome game.

I can't remember if I preordered The Orange Box but I don't believe I did so my answer is Uncharted 2. It definitely was on a whole new level compared to Uncharted 1 and to some extent even Uncharted 3. I'm not one to preorder at all though and most of my preorders used an Amazon glitch where I had a ECA coupon among others that made new games more affordable.

Do Early Access games count? I got Wasteland 2 in Early Access and I'm loving it so much I want to throw more money at the devs.

The best (and only) pre-order I've made was for Bioshock Infinite. I decided that the discount combined with the free XCOM: Enemy Unknown I got from it, would make it worth it even if the game sucked. It proceeded to not suck meaning it was a doubly good idea in retrospect. :D

the preorder i'm happiest with was blackwell epiphany. i regret preordering from dust (i didn't even end up liking it) and felt ripped off by preordering deus ex human revolution and then buying all the dlc instead of just waiting for the director's cut. i also preordered frozen cortex but haven't played it since they changed the name away from frozen endzone, and got in on the kickstarted for jagged alliance flashback but haven't played it yet. not sure if you count early access as a preorder, but i've been happy with prison architect.

my current stance on preorders is that they're a great way to support indie developers whose games i've played and enjoyed. this was the case for blackwell epiphany and frozen cortex. i don't mind paying full price especially when i got their older game(s) in a bundle. i can't remember if i preordered amnesia: a machine for pigs or just bought it on release, but while i was very disappointed in it compared to amnesia: a dark descent and the penumbra games i was still happy to support frictional games (at least i hope it supported them). i won't be doing it with aaa titles because waiting a year and picking up the game with all its dlc at about 1/4 the original price makes so much more sense when i have over 1000 games i haven't even installed yet.
