Pre-Order Incentives – Where Do We Draw The Line?

Pixel Gate writes:

''The concept of pre-order content for video games has become a hot topic in recent weeks.

Extra content locked away on the disc!!
I hated not being able to drive the RUF RT 12R in Forza Horizon because it was Limited Edition DLC but NPC's were driving around in it. Heck they even had an outpost stunt involving it!

I'm not paying a dime towards a game that hasn't released. I don't care what the bonus is. Paying for a game that has yet to prove itself is nonsense.

My backlog on my ps3 is to long to even think about a pre-order anyways.

Most preorder incentives sound good in adverts but when you actually get them they're usually a let down. Sometimes it's a weapon which you get maybe a few hours earlier than another equally as good one. None of the ones I got were particularly memorable for me.

tbh it doesn’t need a sequel. Fantastic game but not something to make into a long running series.

Good month imo. I'll play Gotham Knights and House of Ashes. I'm finishing up Disco E on Steam right now - that's a superb game.

House of Ashes was weird but one of the good weird ones! Really enjoyed it
