| BaldrSkies said: There's little reason to preorder games, and certainly no reason to trust "professional" reviews. It's better to wait until the game is out and read a wide range of reviews and info, than the pre-release hype. The only preorders should be for companies and game series you really truly trust to not lay a landmine. That list for me is very short and consists of Falcom and Gust. |
For me that list is Naughty Dog, SSM, Suckerpunch (not on many lists but through 5 games I've never been disappointed), and...I guess that's it. Used to be Insomniac but their last 2 Ratchet games were abominations to me and I had completed every Ratchet 100% until A4O which I never even bought because the demo and reviews were so horrid and every piece of press just turned me off more and more. FFA was an OK game I guess but tower defense isn't my thing and it shouldn't have been a R&C game and now Fuse is looking generic and unimpressive. After Resistance 3 I thought they could do no wrong. They had made my favorite game of this gen (ACiT) and probably my favorite FPS ever (R3) in successive years then they raped my favorite franchise ever in successive years and now I'm just waiting for them to earn my trust again. It's been such a quick fall I really can't explain it. I mean September 2011 wasn't that long ago.
