I personally don't really like preordes. Moreover this game seems (from what I've seen this far) that is going to be mediocre at its best.
And isn't Zombie-killing an already over-exploited genre?

I only pre-order when it comes with - good - rewards.

Cool I personally think that now everything has zombies on it. It might start to get repetitive and it's in one way a lazy way of developing a game. I mean you don't need AI nor fancy animations nor anything like that.
But well, that's my opinion. And by that I do not say that I don't like zombie games. But that there might be already too mamy of them out.
Comment has been collapsed.
There are a lot of zombie games, however no one has ever done it right as far as I'm concerned. I'm in the midst of developing a new zombie genre game, however it's not likely to be out for year. Hopefully there won't be as many zombie games then :P

Zombie killing has been around since almost the start of modern video games in the 80s - there's nothing new about it in recent years, meaning that apparently each new generation enjoys it. Also, it makes killing human, but already dead humans, easier to stomach for some. However, I do agree that I'm not getting my hopes up about this game...

I don't care much about graphics if the game is good

This is not good though. Not at all. This seems like a unfinished, buggy mess. I will be surprised if this will have a metacritic average higher than 60

I don't judge a game before playing it, screens and videos can trick you. cough Aliens CM cough

Yeah but that case was the opposite. I mean this game seems bad from the start so either a lot of improvement is done in the next months or it will be bad at launch too.
Comment has been collapsed.
Exactly. Everything they released about the game seems awful. That animation of Merle jumping over the counter reminded me of PS2 days. Also, Im pretty sure they said they canceled the PC version.

The same thing happened to the new DmC when Ninja Theory showed that awful video about the game 2-3 years ago.
Comment has been collapsed.
Well, except that was CGI and not gameplay, and the game was 3 years from releasing. They had time to make it better. In this case, they showed awful gameplay, and they are quite close to launch.

I think they said that that video wasn't footage from the game at all. The only official video is this trailer
I don't think it will be good anyway.

Unless they come from actually good developers of course. That, and there is a lot of times when preorder bonuses are actually quite good.
Comment has been collapsed.
I said never and I mean never. Good developers can slip up. Who gives a shit about preorder bonuses anyway, most of them are just weapon skins.
Comment has been collapsed.
Not even, many games give good promotions.
Free extra game, free soundtrack/art-book, and the DLC Season Pass.
Free game, soundtrack, and exclusive characters.
Greenmangaming was giving away a choice of 2 free games with Bioshock Infinte. I can go on....really.
Comment has been collapsed.
This+ some preorders have quite a discount that will not be reached for months (like 25%off brutal legend and such). If people inform themselves and trust the developers, I dont see no reason to not preorder. Just to ending buying it anyways at full price without bonuses? meh.
Also, it seems to me that most of these people now that are against preorders are only against it because of the totalbiscuit video :lol:
Comment has been collapsed.
I never liked preorders, I have preordered few things in my lifetime I think that every 3D Zelda since OoT and some other stuff and mostly because I wanted to have my collectors physical edition at launch. I think that even if some rewards might seem jucy there's really no point in preorder digital content.
It's true, however that I rarely buy things at full price (Some indie games, but certainly not AAA titles except for very few exceptions, and never on PC) The last PC full priced game I bought was Zoo Tycoon 2 if I recall correctly.
Anywas I'm starting to wander from the topic. I don't like them.

Personally I think RE5 + 6 are not very good games, but that's beside the point.
All right cool, you get "free" stuff for dropping $30-40, now what happens if the game ends up being terrible. Look at Colonial Marines and SimCity right now, both games from fairly respected developers, both got a huge number of pre-orders, both ended up being totally atrocious, and now we have several hundred people who are either trying to get refunds or angry because they got stuck with a shitty game.
Take RE6. I've mentioned before I don't really like it, but lets say you did really like 4/5 and you trust this developer. Launch day comes, and whops, turns out they handed the PC port to some cheap company and you can't even run the game. Now you've paid $30 for a digital soundtrack, digital artbook, and a game that's been on sale for as low as $7.
This is all hypothetical of course, but there's literally no way to know about these things until the game has been released and the reviews or forum posts start coming in.
Comment has been collapsed.
EA isn't respected by any sane gamer. Capcom ports are pretty amazing in general, RE5 and 6 have been out anyways, people know what they are getting at this point. By the time that game goes to 7 dollars its months or years later, by buying pre-orders you sometimes get a decent discount also many times.
But opinions I guess, some people like to support the developers also by buying the games for more then 7 bucks.
Comment has been collapsed.
I was talking about Maxis actually, not EA.
By this logic, though, it would make even more sense to wait for the pre-order time to be over so you can get the game without the oh so amazing discount of 25% and support the devs you like even more.
I've bought plenty of games at full price, but I've always waited until I know that something didn't go horribly wrong. You could get a Tomb Raider situation where certain things are horribly optimized for certain cards.
Besides, with the kind of games that offer pre-order bonuses you're not supporting the developers as much as you're supporting the publishers.
Comment has been collapsed.
hum, both indie and AAA games offer pre-order bonuses...
Comment has been collapsed.
Plus in reality you are supporting the devs and publisher. I know I am going to get some heat for this but the publisher does do work, they have a purpose even if its not as big as creating the game. Some publishers aren't the bad guys...

Not like THQ after all games going on sale with less than 2 months, I think developers weren't so happy ;P
Comment has been collapsed.
So...support those some by pre-ordering, that's what I think we have Been trying to say this whole time.
Comment has been collapsed.
Really? Can you give an indie example? I'm being sincere here I've only ever seen AAA games offer pre-order stuff aside from the obligatory week one sale.
Comment has been collapsed.
We're talking about pre-order bonuses, right? Because all I remember those games doing is offering a discount before and for a few weeks after it launched.
Also I was pretty vocal about how stupid the Indie Royale pre-order mystery bundle was, and I love Indie Royale to death.

Torchlight II gave a copy of Torchlight I, the Cave game some TF2 items (If you consider Double Fine an indie company-
Bit Trip Runner 2 gave a cape for TF2 and a copy of Runner 1. Brutal Legend some TF2 items too.

They've shown soooooooo very little for this game. It's gonna be bad.
Comment has been collapsed.
This.
They most used promotion piece is the one where the actors who play the Dixon brothers say "buy the game."
Not only that but we've seen very little gameplay.
I love The Walking Dead, not a huge fanatic or anything, but god this game seems terrible.
Comment has been collapsed.
for all the people who are complaining about graphics remember when the telltale game was revealed and everyone said they were not going to buy it cause of the graphics, yea look at that game now multiple game of the year rewards
graphics dont mean everything but this game might be okay
Comment has been collapsed.
Really? The graphics looked good in Telltale's game.
But let's not compare this game to Telltale's. At least Telltale talked about the game prior to release several times and they showed that they were actual fans of the series.
The only thing we gotten from Survival Instict is a trailer that shows little gameplay, and a commercial where Daryl's and Merle's actors say "buy the game."

i never said the graphics in telltales game were bad but people were saying that before the game came out

What? The graphics for The Walking Dead is shit. Utter shit, I love the game and the story so I can let it pass after all I don't buy a game just for graphics... I can understand their budget isn't that high either so I can let it pass. Don't write off this game over graphics and then say Telltale's graphics were good because that's just being 100% hypocrite. Both game graphics are crap.

Wait what what?
How are the graphics shit? I loved the comic style and the use of cell shading. And character animations were quite well done.

Well the game does have some drawbacks as the lack of interactivity and that gameplay is more like a depised stepbrother, an excuse than something big. Anyways the game is great.

Already knew about this, but just wanted to say.
Didn't the devs said it would be a long time from Season 2 like a month ago or something?
I was expecting 2014. lol
Comment has been collapsed.
Its not even expensive at a full price. You could buy it to support the developers so they can make a even better season 2?

Shame you people, stop criticizing this game before playing it (you can always try it from tpb :p).
Look DotA2 it's awful but still with thousands of players.
Comment has been collapsed.
Awful? You only played 3 hours. Dota 2 is a amazing game once you get into it and learn how to play.
And yeh,in this case people can criticize. I mean, if the footage they shown us is the best they have to show... well, this will probably be on par with Aliens CM
Comment has been collapsed.
Well I need to play 1000 hours to say the game is awful? lol I think 3 hours is enough.
I prefer bad rats than DotA2
Comment has been collapsed.
That's your personal taste and preferences. Expect people to have their own too.
Comment has been collapsed.
That's why I'm asking why so many people is criticizing this new game before playing it?
Also I enjoyed StarCraft II: Heart of the Swarm pretty more than Dota2
Comment has been collapsed.
People are critizising it because the footage and gameplay provided this far certainly looks dissapointing to much, group I'm included in.
It certainly can turn into a great game, but to be honest it does not seem promising this far, not at all.
Comment has been collapsed.
Because the footage and gameplay released look very,very bad.
Comment has been collapsed.
3 hours is not enough to learn even the basics of Dota 2. So no, I dont think its possible to say its awful with only playing 3 hours. I would think that it was awful as well if I only played 3 hours
Comment has been collapsed.
I have to agree here. With three hours into Dota, and if you are new to the genre you will do nothing but die over and over again. And have no idea what you are doing. 3 hrs is roughly 2-3 matches.
I'm not saying that everyone has to enjoy that game. It's certain that many people won't, but it's far from being a bad game.
Comment has been collapsed.
I'm not "new to the genre"...
Seems that nobody got what I said. I meant that nobody can judge a game before playing it or even blam someone that like the game. For me Dota2 is awful but I know that other people like it.
Comment has been collapsed.
I never said you were, thus the if.
Anyways I used to play LOL a lot and still have problems with DOTA, hell. I think I've played like 20-30hrs of it and still have no idea what I was doing (Well, I have, but I don't understand many things yet)
Comment has been collapsed.
I got your point but everyone is different. I ,personally, don't need much time to get the point of the game, unless I'm playing the genre for the first time (but since I played all genres already...)
Comment has been collapsed.
Well 3 hours is enough for me, if not enough for you I'm sorry. Have you played Aliens CM for 3 hours? Bad Rats? Maybe it's enough for me because I play videogames since my 4 years old.
Comment has been collapsed.
Lucas, if you are new to the MOBA genre it's impossible to understand the game with 3 hours. Seriously.
Comment has been collapsed.
lets wait for the reviews, shall we? Game is supposed to be out in 3 days. They didnt showed us anything else, there is no advertisement for the game, etc etc.
Yeah, this will suck. I can guarantee that.
Comment has been collapsed.
DOTA 2 is not really awful. It's quite a solid, balanced, enjoyable game. Having said that I just said that the game does not look good this far with the information we've been provided. And nothing else.
Things might change, or might not. But well that's yet to come.

Why would you want to pre-order this? A game based on a TV show that is loosely based on a comic series... the game play looks awful and it's just a rehashed generic FPS model with The Walking Dead slapped onto it and sadly because of that it will sell.
Urgh. Just urgh. I'll stick with Taletell's game, not that you can compare them because they're completely different games, but still.
Comment has been collapsed.
I'll wait for some sort of bonus before I preorder, otherwise it'd make the same amount of sense to just buy on release day.
Comment has been collapsed.
Survival Instinct isn't being made by Telltale Games. The developer, Terminal Reality, has a pretty bad track record so I wouldn't count on it being very good.
Comment has been collapsed.
So... 8 days to release, and they the information on this title is basically null and nothing has been done to advertise it, nothing meaningful has been shown.... yeh, this will be crap, dont even bother.

I hope so, despite it seems to be a retailer version.
Also the season 2 will be available at April? I'd read it somewhere.
