Games I've pre-ordered? Hmmm...

 

Bought a few within the first week this year, but in terms of genuine, actual pre-orders:

Dishonored 2 (

Tyranny (

Witcher 3 (

No Man's Sky (:@)

 

I also would've pre-ordered Deus Ex: MD but refused to on principle after all the crap that went down.

 

So yeah, I'm sort of 3-4 on pre-orders and quite happy since I got a refund on the one I didn't like. But as I said there are a few games I've bought within the first week.

<p>I think the first preorder I made was Pokemon Stadium. I remember sprinting to my bicycle when I got the call and biking to the center of town in record time without regard for personal safety. <img alt="" data-src="//content.invisioncic.com/g322608/emoticons/cool.png.f00d2562b2c1d873a09323753efdb041.png" src="<___base_url___>/applications/core/interface/js/spacer.png" /> Back in that day you actually had to because stock would be out before it was even in the store. Nowadays, it's freakin' digital people. There is no stock anymore. Why are we even doing it?</p><p> </p><p>

Lately I preordered Batman:AK through kinguin. Yeah, we all know how that went. It's been documented quite a lot. Since than, I'm happy not to preorder anything. <img alt="" data-src="//content.invisioncic.com/g322608/emoticons/tongue.png.ceb643b2956793497cef30b0e944be28.png" src="<___base_url___>/applications/core/interface/js/spacer.png" /></p><p> </p><p>

Only game I preordered for now is Torment: tides of numeria. It's been ages since I did (back when kickstarter was hot). <img alt="" data-src="//content.invisioncic.com/g322608/emoticons/rolleyes.png.4b097f4fbbe99ce5bcd5efbc1b773ed6.png" src="<___base_url___>/applications/core/interface/js/spacer.png" /></p>

[Celuwyn]

Never pre ordered a game. Bought UFC undisputed 3 the first day he was here, but that's all. I wait 2-3 months to buy games I want. Game i can't wait to play, only 1 month (The last Deus Ex, Watch dogs 2, Fallout 4).

I bought a Steam Link on Black Friday. So far, ironically enough, I've mostly used to to play FIFA (a non-steam game) - as I've come to realize that I prefer using mouse and keyboard for most of my games (even most console ports).

So, quick reply please, is EA Sports UFC 2 any good?

Any Mount & Blade: Warband fans here? I know it's an old one, but damn, that game is fun as hell.

The only games I don't play with the PC are cardgames and RTS games (and managers/sims for obvious reasons). I even play shooters with controller (don't shoot me ).

 

EA UFC 2 is pretty fun. If it's on sale it's definitely a good buy, especially since the next one is only due for the start of 2018 (I hope sooner though).

 

I love the concept of Mount&Blade, but held off on playing it longer than one hour (I was lost) as I heard a second game was coming out. Boy did that take a looooong time. Probably next year, and probably the only game I look forward to now that Mass Effect has been postponed to 2018.

 

WHAT MASS EFFECT HAS BEEN POSTPONED. (Where have you seen that ? just checked it's still for Q1 2017)

 

Mount & Blade is one of my favorite game. weak graphics but it don't matter. I agree that the first hour are rough, you need to find what to do. But boy, the mods with this game.. Brytenwalda, the 100 years war.. what a beautiful game.

 

As for the second game, it's been two or three years that we wait for.

 

 

Just bought Watch Dogs 2. I've liked the first,so i hope the second will be the same

[Blackman]

I mis-checked. Thanks for correcting that. Sorry for not double-checking.

Man, I am loving Watch_Dogs 2. There is a lot of something that was missing in the first one...fun! Like, the characters and story are fun. I would almost argue it as my game of the year so far to be honest but there are a few big titles I have yet to play</p>

[BHK1978]

Well Witcher 3 was great until the end. I felt that the end was really lacking. I am not sure what I thought it needed but it did feel sort of tame when compared to the rest of the game.

<p>Anyone playing The Last Guardian? Reviews were all over the place so I held off and got ff15 instead. </p><p> </p><p>

I loved Ico and Shadow of the Colossus so probably should have just got it but some of the even positive reviews were filled with caveats.</p>
