Only limited editions of games are pre ordered to ensure you get one. Pre ordering helps these companies out more than you think so people who pre order should be rewarded. Actually I think first month buyers of a game should be rewarded considering all bugs and network issues come with most games and that first month buyers pay full price.
I'm guessing that kevco33 was assuming that the author was British and thought that the exclusive was underwear that made you faster.
But I think it's pretty clear that the author thinks that pants/trousers are a stupid preorder bonus.
For a real example of confusion over pants/trousers, a funny one, I once read a comment on Youtube (or a forum post or something, IDK, it was a long time ago) that a British kid was confused when he saw this back in the day: https://www.youtube.com/wat... lol, because if she meant pants the way the Brits say it...
I always thought not wearing pants made you faster. I'm positive that not wearing pants makes you more dangerous. That should be the promotion...the no pants Assassin.
No running with no pants definitely dies not make you faster. Your testicles best into your stomach and the pain slows you down. And it creates more drag.
Yea no pants definitely makes you faster. Then you can also hit the NOS bottle aka Fart and you'll go faster. Without the pants the fart should propel you forward at warp speed.
I think if they were actually giving you a pair of trousers that be cool. But in game trousers for extra speed is dumb and not really worth the 30 minutes of development time IMO.
I am glad the pre-order bonuses are generally pretty weak, pre-orders are completely useless nowadays and last thing we need is to be locked into one supplier because the "bonus" being offering is absolutely game changing in a huge way.
A man agrees. Lives is an archaic method that doesn't make the game any harder (it's usually for 1 hit kill games anyway) and just artificially extends the life of the game. Rayman has it right with unlimited lives but just as much challenge so you're always progressing yet challenged
Just a reminder everything is changed in AC U, every clothing item, weapons, everything has Stats. So each clothing will depend on Arno's movement and speed and weapons will depend on Arno's attack strength with that weapon and other stuff.
Boourns! I'm not feeling this year's Assassin's Creed except for the fact that it's in France and city is looking beautiful. I'll eventually pick it up when it drops to 30$. That's my sweet spot for how I'm feeling about it.
My friend says he heard there's an exclusive pair of socks that'll allow you to climb faster, but I think he's lying. Wouldn't it be awesome if it were true though? :,)
I agree. I really don't understand the haters that get their panties in a bunch over people pre-ordering a game. If you think about it you're getting free things just for securing yourself a copy day one. Whats not to like, even if it is something as trivial as in game pants. :/
Id rather have something like this than story content or missions. Ubisoft has been horrible in the past with preorder dlc being whole missions, this is a step in the right direction if you ask me
I completely agree with you. Its a huge bummer that so many games have exclusive maps or missions that you can only get by with a preorder. The worst is when they do it with multiplayer maps.
It seems to me though that preoder bonuses are starting to go in the right direction with in game items being the incentive instead of parts of the game being locked to people who didnt buy early.
That being said I've been preordering games for as long as I can remember and it is nice that I get something a little extra for putting faith in a game before reviews come out.
I cannot wait for the nostromo edition of alien isolation.
Alien isolation is the worst pre order ever,an alien game where the cast of alien is held back for pre order bonus.just shows how anti consumer the industry has become....watch jimquisition on pre order bonuses he sums up pre orders very well,as long as u can put up with the guy being a little bit weird that is.
It is not the best when it comes to dlc but it is an actual incentive to get the game early without being worried about it affecting multiplayer (which there seems to be none)
There is a bonus mission that's a pretty good preorder bonus. And since reordering games at Gamestop only requires 5$ which they take off the purchas price, I guess anything they are willing to go e you for free is cool. What worries me about this is that it might be hinting at micro transactions and a lot of them
You have misunderstood.
American pre-order. Pants = trousers in America.
Amazon's preorder bonus for Sonic: Lost World was worse of a bonus. 25 extra lives, smh
Just a reminder everything is changed in AC U, every clothing item, weapons, everything has Stats. So each clothing will depend on Arno's movement and speed and weapons will depend on Arno's attack strength with that weapon and other stuff.
that pre-order bonus is pants.
i guess the author hasnt seen the preorder bonus for 2k15
