Now that those are there and you have put your mind in kind of the same level as I, you kind of see what is wrong in game industry atm. If not let me explain it to you.
In the old good old days when we got game and such there wasnt much of pre-order at all. Sure you could go to store and say that when x game comes out they should hold it and such. And that was about it. People still bought the game and were kind of happy. The gamemakers that made good games got their money as they get now and people were as happy as ever.
Now for some reason you can get five diffenet things if you pre-order game in different places and this is weird. You have these things and you are not giving it to us but you want us to pre-order or we dont get the complete game cause most of us dont want to buy in the dark. I think that is kind of **** thing and we are kind of fault here.
We as the buyers said it was ok. Its not like we dont get the game to our lovely hands in the release date if we dont pre-order and I dont see the worst things when we pre-order games. It is that exclude things from people who want to buy it later. They dont want to give the whole game to people who buy the game day later or so. Is that so much out of their pocket that they have to do it.
In some valid point I can see is that the competion about people is fierce and they want to get enough people to buy the game, but people buy good game no matter what in the end. You dont need to put "extra" guns or doohigies in the game. Just give them to every one if you want to make them.
Ok it is kind of iffy to give money to game that you do not know nothing and risk is ok... kind of. They the makers take that same risk also as to make the game and I hate that people tend to buy more the next halo or some other fps that comes out. People atm tell aaa complany that they want the generic games so they gives us that and some companies dont want to risk it and that is bad for the cretive minds.
Ok so I hate fps but that is me, I still gonna pre-order games... at least some if them... sometimes. Less these days cause I dont have the money buy all of them and the ones I buy I want them to be good and worth my money.
So in the end Pre-order "extra" crap is bad and should be stoped. Pre-order is kind of bad and people should wait to see if the game is good. Why people should get there hands on the game first day? I dunno. Maybe mmo I do undestand but as a normal one player games... Well I dunno.
Keep it cool and wait for the games to come out and see if they are any good and really worth the money. You should buy games cause they are good and not cause they have been made by X person or such.
