Pre-Order Club

[DerSnake]

Well, who has already pre-ordered it?

I hope it sells just as well simply because the games deserve it.

I never said no one was allowed to speak or debate, but does eeeeverything in life, every single ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ zone in this world have to turn into a heated debate, on life or death Ben Shapiro-style, or can we have some social skills too? There’s a time and place for everything, debate some guy your own size instead of trashing down on me and whatever the f I do with my money I made myself. Freedom of speech doesnt mean I should (notice I say should, not can) go around being a total prick for fun. Only online this have become normalcy because you can get out aggression on a stranger instead of getting it out on someone in real life, someone your own size with the risks that come with that. That’s not manly, it makes me think you’re gay as hell

If you're excited for these remasters... that's perfectly fine.

If you're going to brag about doing something extremely stupid... pre-ordering... don't be surprised you get a bit of 'guff' over it.

There are people who are excited about going to the pool... then there are people like you excited to pee in the pool. People are telling you that's wrong. Your come back is that it's your body, there is chlorine in the pool, we should mind our own business and we're mega gay if we can't handle girl pee in the pool.

Maybe don't pee in the pool!

A lot of people will give me guff if I posted a selfie too, heck, took a walk in one too many wrong neighborhoods.

Ooookay.

That doesn’t make it any less socially retarded though.

Be the bigger person, behaving like this changes nothing.

Maybe next time you'll rethink peeing in the pool.

I have the right to be here as anyone since I love the game. Weirdos

Ok... TR 4 is my favorite classic game. Am I allowed to criticize the practice of pre-ordering or do I not because it ruins your vibe?

You... really shouldn't be calling others 'weirdos'.

I will pre order closer to release for the discount price.

Thing is ... topic was all about "who preordered" not "if it is good or not".
You could had created your own topic to talk about why preorder is not good or is bad or why you preorder, etc, without derailing the topic to say why it is bad.

And you turned a topic on Tomb Raider into a topic on Resident Evil 3.

At least my 'derailing' is still about the topic.

To steal someone else's response:

Who here doesn't like the game? People create these forum threads presumably for conversations to happen. This is a thread about pre ordering and some are pointing out that pre ordering can have perverse effects. Seems completely on topic. No need to name call or strawman people who disagree with you.

Not exactly "I" ... you derailed it bringing Resident Evil to the table, not me, I just continued with it because it made sense along with the topic and then the Resident Evil derail went for aa few more posts of both of us) and yes I also stopped too ...and that was at the start about the topic too as both things were related (I stil think it may be if they remake AoD instead of remastering).

Well if you think that's the best use of your money, then you should hold on a bit. I personally don't believe there will be anything that will bother me considering last revelation is unplayable as it is without patches that are tedious to install. Just to be able to open the game, have it run at a desired framerate and look great with improved graphics, is a buy for me

What exactly are you losing by waiting a few months to purchase it when its finished? There is a dramatic difference between the last remaster at the day of release and 4 months later.

Why am I bothering? Flush your money down the toilet for all I care.

Well that statement in just wrong. A dramatic difference between release and 4 months? Lol
What am I losing by waiting? A great trilogy of games that I played as a kid with my brother and have good memories of it. By that logic we should all wait for every game we want to buy to be on a huge sale since what's the difference between playing something on release or after

If I bring something up as an example of a similarity and then you make that the primary focus of your reply, even though that wasn't the point, then you're the one derailing it, not I.

I'm not even complaining, I enjoyed talking about it. I'm just pointing out that "I" am on topic here, about pre-orders. You just don't like that I'm against them.

Yes there was. Do you not remember the design changes of certain levels? Solomon's Folly for example? The game was still a work in progress at release with assets they were still working on. The game should have been delayed, but they gave the release date as "Lara's Birthday", Feb 14th and they decided to release it... ready or not.

And guess what, they're doing it again. If you want to bet they learned their lesson and will actually have it finished this time, good luck.

Believe it or not I hope it is.

EDIT: You probably know this, but fictional character Lara's Croft's birthday is February 14th (Valentine's Day) and for some dumb reason they feel its vital marketing to release the games on that date.

You aren't losing these games by waiting. The point is to make sure they are finished and not glitchy at release.

My experience was ruined because I had faith they'd do a good job with the remasters. Instead I pre-ordered to be an early access beta tester.

Months of patches resulted in the game that SHOULD have been the release state. I'd have nothing but praise for the original remasters if I had waited. Instead I have that negative experience. First impressions are important for me. If they're not for you go ahead and risk it.

PS: Anyone REMEMBER THE INVISIBLE EFFING KEYS!?

You people have short memories about what a slop fest the original remasters were.

I just pointed out what someone else meant with "trying to kill the fun of others" also the topic is not "reallly" about if the preorder is good or not, valid or not and, again, I had just "pointed out" here:

Not "we" because I see no reason to continue, I gaave my reason to why I prepurchased and dont see it as wrong and you can repeat 10, 1000 or infinite times you wont convince me I am wrong (even because 1 of my reasons is that if the game is not what I want I can refund) and for the same reason I dont think you wil convince anyone here either.
You gave your opinion but you dont want to give your opinion, you wantt to change people opinions and want to win and to me there is nothing to win (or lose) here other than time as "to me" this game existing (despite not released yet) is already a win.

No you should grow up, no sane man gets out aggression on a stranger who for the most part probably don’t even have all that different opinions of games than you. Laughable, talk about creating enemies where there are none. Paranoia.

Lol, do you know the concept of "diving" in football? Cause that's what you're doing.

I actually do want to change people's WRONG opinions on the FACT that pre-ordering is not a good thing for consumers. There's also literally no reason to do it. You can wait and purchase it on day one. You can give them more money at the time too if they've done a good job.

I can't force you to do the right thing, as many people including myself, often have to learn the hard way.

If you're under any sort of impression that I'm trying to convince people to not eventually buy this, then you're mistaken.

TR IV is a great game, its my favorite of the series and it alone would be worth the price. Its just a question of whether the remaster will be worth the price at release or if it will be a work in progress... again.

The most exciting prospect of the original trilogy was the possibility of them going on to remaster TR IV. That was before release. Now its a case of how long do I have to wait after its 'finished' before its 'worth' buying. I truly hope its day one, but I'll be waiting either way to see.

No need to convince people that they’re bad people, stupid, or doing the wrong thing supporting a game.

Youre taking this very personally.
