Oh right! I forgot you're from the Phillipines! Sorry... I don't know how the game business works there either. It's lame you don't get some of the neat bonuses.

The complete bonuses are cool for people who passed on the game long enough, but lame for those who got the dlc on release. Something seems kinda wrong when they release a complete edition later...

I preorder if the bonuses are nice. Or, if it's a game I know I will love and am buying digital, I will preorder so I can preload.

These days I only preorder if I have absolute faith in the dev (pretty rare post 2014) or if it's some obscure Japanese game that will probably ship maybe 2 copies per store. When companies started virtually begging for preorders I had to stop, now they're trying to convince us we'll miss out on important content without preordering.

I only preorder if I'm pretty confident it will be good (these criteria are lowered if we're in a drought like I am right now) and they offer something good. Dat DLC and the steel book are enough for me to preorder a game called the Order that I am anticipating very much. Plus I'm going to sell the statue and so it will only end up costing roughly $40

its totaly fine if you are preordering something from nintendo

I actually can't argue against that, practically everything I;d ever bought from Big N for years hasn't really broken on me nor let me down in a mjor way other games have tbh, every pokemon I played was great and was never broken to me along with other titles, they seem the most trustworthy out there (yes even with some bad history but that's not the overall point), I just hope they don't follow that horrible trend of having to constantly update their games with patches day 1 and releasing broken games.

you allways get what they say you get from nintendo. they dont hide anything, they dont talk bs about gameplay, and they test their

games.

You know that's one thing I;d love to see a lot more of in the industry, testing games I mean and at the same time showing us proof that they are testing them and taking what we give into account, we see dev diaries but really those are just fluff vids that are more "we're working really hard to make X a great game" and that's all that is to those, I'd love to see "as you can see in dev diary test 142 we took into account the user feedback and changed the game as shown/listed changes etc" type vids, I know we already get a few of those but they mostly stem from Indie devs that work on ea games, I can't say I;ve seen big leagues like EA or ubisoft pull those type of vids, I bet if they did they'd show how much effort they truly put into their games =P.

I've only had an interest in preordering games that I am super, super hyped for, and TBH there hasn't been many instances of that. MK8 is one of those rare occurrences, and yet I still didn't preorder it. I was driving to GameStop to order one on the night before launch (to get the bonus), but I hit traffic and was too late. Ended up buying the game about a week later.

I just preorder games when I feel like it. I don't really care if or when other people do.
