Why you should pre-order.

[zmanbuilder]

You should pre-order because you did your research, got the benchmark running great and did good in the beta and had a blast with it.

Do not buy on hype alone as you will just be disappointed.

[BigCatRob]

Lol. Lmao even

[Kashra Fall]

PReordered because the beta was fun. Ran the benchmark, it ran better than the beta.

[Mostly Objective Gaming]

Preorderd because its going to be 70$ regardless.

You shouldn't ever pre-order digital goods. The distribution isn't limited by stock and it only encourages price gouging and bad market practices. Wait for launch, look for transparent reviews and let's plays to make an informed purchase.

We got to play it before release and benchmark it before release. If we spent 2+ hours on the beta, it stands to reason we enjoyed outselves, no? I can get behind your idea for games that don't allow either one of those though.

I've done my research, ran the benchmark, and played the beta, i see no difference in putting money aside and buying at launch vs pre-ordering.

And you think price gouging is because of pre orders or are you just made triple AAA games just cost 70 now?

it was bound to happen games where going to cost 70 because everything gets more expensive.

Your home, Internet, Food. You name it. But also your paychecks.

Not there is anything wrong with that fyi, as long as its from a legit retailer listed on isthereanydeal.com and not a grey market.

Really hope we can pre-load the high res texture pack too, as that is a extra 75 gigs.

Steam Refunds
You can request a refund for nearly any purchase on Steam—for any reason. Maybe your PC doesn't meet the hardware requirements; maybe you bought a game by mistake; maybe you played the title for an hour and just didn't like it.

It doesn't matter. Valve will, upon request via help.steampowered.com, issue a refund for any reason, if the request is made within the required return period, and, in the case of games, if the title has been played for less than two hours.

There are more details below, but even if you fall outside of the refund rules we’ve described, you can ask for a refund anyway and we’ll take a look. Consumers in some jurisdictions may have additional rights to a refund in circumstances where the game is faulty.

You will be issued a full refund of your purchase within a week of approval. You will receive the refund in Steam Wallet funds or through the same payment method you used to make the purchase. If, for any reason, Steam is unable to issue a refund via your initial payment method, your Steam Wallet will be credited the full amount. (Some payment methods available through Steam in your country may not support refunding a purchase back to the original payment method. Click here for a full list.)

Thats something to account to as well. Cant do that on third party sites no matter if official or not :p

I mean I was gonna preorder the game regardless of the beta and benchmark. I bought a new PC 2 years to play the new monster hunter game comfortably.


Everyone most likely has a franchise they'll be buying from regardless of reviews or content shown. Monster Hunter is one of those for me. I'd afford the same luxury if there was a Team Fortress 3, a Digimon World game, or another 3D mario game.

I preorderd it for 20% off lmao

[𝐕𝖆𝖒𝖕]

Preordered because if I didn't I'd forget and spend the spending money on something else. Plus it ain't like the price is going to change anytime soon.
