I understand the hesitation on most games but I will absolutely preorder or day one order for a company like Supergiant, Jeppe Carlsen, Subset Games, Kojima. IMO they never make bad games, early games rarely have issues and I know that I’m supporting them to have garenteeed capital for more development, etc.
Anyone else have game developers that you have complete confidence in day one?
Nothing wrong with buying on day one, but don’t pre order. I get your point, they don’t make bad games, but we’ve seen this pattern often where beloved devs fall from grace. It’s just not worth it. Like they said, they don’t run out of digital copies.
If you really really wanna preorder something physical, maybe I can understand that, but I really only do PC gaming as of now, console gaming for me is pretty rare, so I don’t have much of an opinion on it.
I’ve only preordered two games in the last ten years, and in both cases I was buying them regardless of reviews, so getting them when it was convenient for my budget made sense.
Like so many others I finished expedition 33 most recently and it was fantastic for anyone who enjoys story heavy RPGs. I also finished citizen sleeper shortly before that and the last dlc of not for broadcast, also both amazing. Now I am on to palworld, I am judging this to be the right intersection of good features added but no major losses from the ongoing lawsuit yet. Time will tell if that’s a good estimate.
I have loved Nintendo games for a long time but after their behavior lately I am disinclined to support them anymore, and the original switch will likely be my last Nintendo console.
I can be cynical about the game industry at times but the reality is this year we got a lot of great games from smaller studios and it’s a trend that seems like it will continue. With kkd2, expedition 33, and that new survival craft that just came out 2025 is a good year for games as far as I am concerned
Oh man but what if i miss out on: preorder skin that is just the default outfit recolor, and weapon that is 20% better than starter, both made irrelevant by the first vendor outside of tutorial?
I could not get into Dawn of War 2 and 3 despite pouring thousands of hours into DoW1 and it’s expansions. Why do makers of classic RTS games (looking at you EA) have to f*** with the formula?
Was the same for me too. I remember getting DoW2 and being so disappointed. Then 3 came along… I’ve given up them making a decent game again.
Even that DoW remaster isn’t looking good. I’m holding out until I see the reviews but if they’re only going with AI upscaled textures for £30 then no thanks.
