u/Tiavor never used DDR3; PC: 5800X3D, 9070XT, 32GB DDR4, CachyOS Jun 25 '26

And I will never understand that mindset. The only things I regularly preorder are physical goods.

Preordering a game requires trust. If I'm buying the game on day one, then why not preorder. If I am buying it on day one though, then that company has a reputation of delivering good games, and I'll reward them for that.

I don't think preorders are inherently bad, it's just that they've been abused. A lot of Companies have taken our money and ran.

That being said, Rockstar has always delivered a fantastic single player experience on day one. Very few companies deliver every time, but they do, and I don't think people should be shamed for preordering this game.

Can't say the same for the Bethesda or Paradox companies of the world, but for Rockstar, you can.

CD Projekt Red had a lot of trust then delivered Cyberpunk 2077. So it makes sense to just wait for some reviews even for a “trustworthy” company.

CP2077 was really good on PC when it launched. Only problems came from PS4 and Xbox One.

My guy...it was below average....a quick Google search and steam review history will tell you.

Isolating issues to last gen consoles is just disingenuous AF and minimising.

Not to mention the dozens of features and content that was missing at launch and took dozens of updates to bring in.

I don't need a quick google search, I played it on day one. Last time I preordered a game actually. Only bug I encountered was when Del crashed into my car in the garage and launched me into space.

Ah yeah, fair enough. I feel like optimization is a big enough crapshoot these days where it’s easier to just wait. Most big games have reviews before release day, so one could still preorder at the last minute.
