Gaming / Re: What games do you have on pre-order right now?
« on: August 02, 2016, 06:23:38 PM »
How often does a game come out where it's canned like Dragon Age II? Most games come out and generally receive positive scores with most fans being satisfied with their purchase, what difference does it make whether they pay now or later? And my original question was remained unanswered on the people who preorder knowing full well they're going to enjoy it, such as me with the FFXII HD remaster.

I simply don't see enough games failing for preorders to be the underlying cause of the problem. Halo 5 was right in the middle of the preorder season last year yet it had the shittiest numbers in the series when it came to actual copies being sold. For every point there's a counter-point on preordering.

You are agreeing to pay money for a product before you could see whatever flaws it has. A great example of this is Dragon Ago II. Prior to launch, multiple sites had given it scores between 8 and 10; if you want reference on where it sits now, it has an average user score of 4.5.

Besides that, you're arguing as if a significant number of people cancel preorders. If people who place them don't cancel, they're paying money under the same condition: whether it's day -365 or day 0, you're agreeing to pay a product of undetermined quality.

Vote with your wallet. It doesn't only mean to boycott bad releases, but also to purchase when you're actually informed.

I would love to do Gendo considering I have the hair for him, but my current job wont let me grow a beard out unless I took like two weeks off. So realistically I'm left with just cosplaying Shinji (which I guess makes more sense personality wise).

Mickey's Not So Scary Halloween party is rolling around next month and all through October. I'd like to go with some friends one night as a White Mage, but getting the funds while living paycheck to paycheck is kind of difficult. So the only Cosplay is have ready is Homura and I sure as shit ain't gonna do that publicly.

Daily Reminder: RT gave Ghostbusters 2016 a certified fresh score and should not be taken seriously.

RT is literally a bunch of elitist snobs that are either paid shills (Marvel movies) or do it for free out of fear of being roasted by SJWs (Ghostbusters).

After reading through the posts, I believe some of you guys have pre-order confused with putting money down on reserving a copy. Companies don't make any money on a game until it's finished and shipped to the consumer.

I was originally going to post The Room, but I figured everyone else would say that same shitty movie so I picked the next one down.

How the hell did you guys pick the same obscure b movie?

Can't tell if sarcasm or not.

It's not who I am. I don't see any interest in being some manly walking definition of masculinity, that just doesn't seem like me.

wow wtf dude

if you're not manly then what's the point

Lost & Found/Merchandise Mickey's Gift Station at Magic Kingdom Main Entrance.

I have several transfers in, and one of them went to pending. I need to do an over-the-phone interview for Merchandise at Disney Springs for a shop in the corner called Design-A-Tee. There's no room for advancement where I'm at right now, and Lost & Found is literally the worst possible place in Disney.

As much as I love the misery of others, I must say I'm happy for you then....

I guess my recent predicaments are deserved for my negative behavior towards others....

I understand most of his points, but when he was mentioning near the beginning about how there's people who just preorder anyways and people who want to hold onto their money, he failed to acknowledge people who only preorder occasionally, or preorder titles they know they're going to like no matter what.

I preordered FFXII HD because I have TWO collector's edition copies of FFXII for the PS2 and I played the ever loving shit out of that. I already know XII HD is going to be balls to the walls perfect IMO, I don't see any hindrance in me preordering a game I know for a fact I'm going to enjoy with absolute certainty.

I preordered XV because I played the Duscae demo and enjoyed it, figured I would enjoy the full game as a result, and I rarely preorder for digital goodies, usually it's physical stuff included in the CE's that make me want to preorder. Granted I could probably go to a store on the day it's released and not have to worry too much about those editions being sold out, but it's more convenient to just have it mailed to my home with the billing and shipping prepared in advance.

Which leads me to the only other gripe I have with the video, companies wont get their money months in advance, billing never occurs until shipping is processed. I haven't paid a dime for either of my two preorders yet so Square-Enix still hasn't made any money from me yet.

preordering in itself isn't toxic but it perpetuates toxic behavior, and encourages developers to take advantage of the consumer through various marketing schemes as described in the video i posted above

FFXV Ultimate Collectors Edition
FFXII: The Zodiac Age

none because preordering is generally toxic to the industry

Preordering isn't toxic. Day One DLC, Pre-Release versions, season passes, and micro transactions are.
