"It’s never a good idea to purchase a game on the day of its release. It’s almost always a waste of money, especially if you have an existing backlog to go through (and let’s not kid ourselves—you do!) before you’ll even have an opportunity to play whatever it is you’re buying."
Remedy and Tencent announced today the cancellation of the cooperative multiplayer game known as Project Kestrel (formerly Vanguard) to focus on Alan Wake and Control.
Hades 2 developer Suoergiant Games has possibly hinted at future DLC in what would be another departure from tradition for the developer.
Charles Cecil has revealed that the upcoming sixth entry in the popular adventure game series has been delayed.
I love Broken Sword but I admit I was disappointed to see it'll get a mobile release. Seems like it'll be massively limited because of that. Probably good for the studio though. Really looking forward to the redo of BS1 too. We need more point and click games
I hardly ever buy games on their release day and I have never pre ordered.
It's just too dame risky unless you're a huge fan of a franchise or know you'll love the game despite any possible shortcomings.
The best thing to do is read (reliable) reviews and if you're really not sure look for lets play videos, etc, the sheer amount of mediocre titles that get released each year and go on to be successful purely because people are purchasing them before they realise they are utter crap is a astounding IMO.
Games that I buy mainly for multiplayer are usually Day One buys for me, especially if I feel like I know how the game will be from a demo/beta (Bad Company 2, Killzone) or from prior experience with the franchise (COD). I like getting in on those on the ground floor.
SP games can wait unless Amazon is offering a good pre-order deal.
only pre-orders i get are from naughty dog
nope, don't care about dlc incentives- I never preorder, and I stopped buying collector's editions years ago. If I don't want a game, I don't want a game and for probably a good reason (ie: bad game design/ gameplay). Only thing on that list that is good is steam sales.
Master betrayed us. Wicked. Tricksy, False.
