If you preorder games, you're stupid

ok

So true.

If you make blanket statements about people, you're stupid.
Also, GMG had it on sale for $20 as a pre-order, so....

I got pre-order for the equivalent of about £3, I'm not complaining.

Ye, preordering is too risky, you may much regret it. Not worth risking 50-60 euros for some preorder bonus weapon, when the game may be a complete shit, like the last Aliens game.

Ignorant and Arrogant!

what a mature thread name. thumbs up I've preordered some games, not for any discount but for other rewards. Like one pre-purchase gave me X-Com Enemy Unknown. Some give season passes.

I got it preordered for 33% off ($20 off GMG). besides, BNW is $33.50 right now in Australia.

I preordered it for 10€, now I can buy it for 20€? Damn it!

A friend of mine got it pre-order on Nuveem for 14€.

Not checking prices, that's stupid.

yes, I'm too stupid to PO bioshock infinite, don't starve and borderlands 2 and brutal legends and look.

PO deal for B:I is waaaaaaaaay better than 50% sale (36$ for B:I + XCOM:EU + mafia II + Bioshock 2)
Don't starve was 12$ for 2 pack, and now, 15$ on 40% sale only
Borderlands 2 PO gets you free unexpected DLCs
Brutal Legends PO price was 15$ with 2 TF2 items. I basically bought them for 3$ as those tf2 items sold for 12$

suck on that

Wow. Just wow. Dick move Firaxis, dick move. If I didn't had it from Brazil quack up I would write one angry mail.

I only preorder physical copies of console games.

I have a preorder for Dragon's Crown for PS3 and Pokemon X and Y for 3DS.

Dragon's Crown because it comes with some sweet loot, and Pokemon because it's Pokemon.

Sometimes pre-orders do gives great incentives.

that depends, depends on what you pre order and from which store you preorder. Preordering full game before release generally gives you some extra bonus for instance some in-game character skin, special weapen, expansion pack and some maps as well. And there are many legit 3rd party stores that have different offer on preoder. Brave new world is not a game, instead, it is a DLC for civ 5 so preordering it could only give you a discount of it or stuffs for other games but that is the business of 2K. But overall, preordering is a good way against piracy and get early fund from buyer and players can get extra bonus, it is not that stupid.

Sooo, I have yet to see any reasoning behind this post, just that the OP is insiunating that everyone who preorders is stupid. I've actually preordered quite a few games. (Both console and PC) There were only one or two games I regret preordering, or buying in early stages. But many of the times, I got it for a lot cheeper than release, also in the case of BNW the only real reason it's 33% off after release is because it was released so close to the steam summer sale, so it was allowed the chance to be in it. Also, just so ya know about this, it was released like 2-3 days before the sale, so they did have people buy it full price also, because they like the series.

Plus, people who like a series/saga or whatever you wish to call it, and can tell they havent changed the core mechanics, will preorder it no matter what because THEY LIKE THE GAME SERIES. A lot of people don't give a flying flup if it's discounted or for any bonuses, but if you base preordering SOLEY on that, only to hate the game....good luck coming across a really good game that you like if you keep doing that.

I only regret my pre-orders if a game's bad. If I'm willing to pre-order it, it means I REALLY want it. I can't say any of my pre-orders have horribly dissapointed me, and I regret nothing.

In my country if you don't preorder a 3ds game forget to find it in stock for the next 2 months

if you buy games, you're stupid. You can pirate them for free, yay!

So is it just me, or does anyone else find it pretty funny that OP hasnt responded to ANY of this?

I guess I'm a major idiot for pre-ordering Super Meat Boy and Don't Starve. lol

Come on, mkrnic. Some of us really like supporting the devs who make our games. Pre-orders do that. And there are situations like DS. Don't Starve's pre-order was still a much better deal than its current sale price.
And though SMB was heavily discounted just a month or so after release, I couldn't care less. Was more than worth the ten that I payed for it. Some of us look at value per dollar spent, rather than if we got the best deal or not.

And as for situations like this, you never know when a game will have a sale like that. They usually don't. So it's less "Being an idiot" and more "Took a gamble and lost out a little".

If you're making useless threads like this, you're stupid too.

this thread is stupid

Hrumm, well then, I am an idiot for pre-ordering Rome 2: Total War.

What did I get out of it? Oh well, I only got some few TF2 items, a good DLC (Which imo. should have been included in the game), and I supported one of my most favourite franchises and developers. Ah well, that is surely very bad.

I'm gonna preorder Dark Souls 2.

Whatcha gonna do about it?
