Never pre order.
Especially shit that has gone though development hell and multiple restructures
I was going to say – It’s almost offensive they even offered it. I know it has a bit of a fanbase but it’s been through the ringer trying to get out.
I really liked the first one when I was younger. More than it deserved probably. It hit a lot of the right stuff for me.
I don’t have any good expectations for this new one. It should be something I’m looking forward too but I’m not. Much less pre ordering it.
I hope it’s good. If it is I’ll play it.
Keep your hopes down. The project has been restarted 4 times and lastly handed over to a small studio in a turmoil with no experience in the genre.
- I really need to play the first game.
- Those are some crunchy textures on the chest in the first scene of the trailer.
This game looks awesome. People who’ve gotten their hands on it are saying great things.
But in absolutely no way should you pre-order it.
People said good shit about cyberpunk 2077 at release.
Take games journalism with a grain of salt. Even the largely honest ones generally only get the first “X minutes” to demo, which designers pack impressive moments into for the press, but then the rest of the game is half baked or a slog.
Take fallout 4 as an example. They throw you into a laser battle, in full power armour, with a death claw in the first hour. Do you keep the armor? No. Do you keep going toe to toe with deathclaws? No. You get made into a minuteman bitch seconds after and then have to set up 638 settlements. Guess which part the press got to see before release?
No preorders is always right.

And after a lot of work it’s one of my favorite games.
I’m not going to pre-order anything, but I’ll stay cautiously optimistic.
This is still an thing?!
