Rome 2: Total War

I've heard it doesn't suck anymore but I'm waiting until I get a real gaming PC again before giving it another shot

It is, but it's like 2 or 3 games behind now. Atilla is the best historical Total War right now.

But I wasn't really mad or anything, that was just the last game I pre-ordered.

That's okay, I love the Roman theme so it'll be fine. I've actually replayed the original Rome TW in the time since Rome 2 came out and pissed me off.

I honestly feel like this happens every single time a new Total War is released. People complain about how it wasn't as good as the last one. A few patches later, everyone says it's 'much better now'. A new game is released and everyone complains that it is shit because it's different than the last one.

Rome 2 honestly was shit when it came out. Battles felt like you just grouped all your troops at once and right clicked towards the enemy. And the campaign map aspect of the game was oversimplified to the point of being completely and utterly boring. Also it was terribly optimized and ran poorly even on high end machines. So these are the kinds of things they definitely did need to fix.

Pokemon Platinum. It's kind of baffling how it's retained its retail price - gen 4 is slow, sluggish and overly drawn out, and I felt bad for my mum who shelled out $60 for it.

It's my least favorite AAA game.

None. I'll still pre-order from time to time. The most recent ones that I seriously regretted pre-ordering are Mass Effect 3, Batman: Arkham Knight, Mortal Kombat X and Fallout 4.

GTA San Andreas. Was so hyped for it for more than a year before it came out, and it just didn't live up to the expectations I'd built in my head. I realise that was mostly my own fault, but the game just seemed so bland and too "square" compared to what I envisioned (I wanted lots of super intricate roads, roundabouts, etc.). Also really despised the thug theme. Still a great game overall but it was the last time I was ever excited for a video game.

Well the last one I pre-ordered was Guild Wars 2, but that was at worst a minor disappointment.
To date, I'd consider FFXIII to be my biggest blunder in pre-ordering.

i forget which one (since I didn't actually want it), but it had 4 different pre-order perks depending on which store you bought it from. so, to get everything, you'd need to buy it 4 times. lost a lot of interest in video games altogether after that, honestly. Definitely expected that to be a big trend.

Destiny

Expected a story on the same level as Halo at least. Instead, they didn't have time to explain why they didn't have time to explain. And not even a lot of content either.

I'll be carefully watching Destiny 2 to be sure it actually, yknow, has some meat at release.

I've only ever preordered a game for free gear included. If I get free gear for my 5 dollar down payment, I'm happy.

Otherwise I've never seen the point in preordering. Every game I've purchased on release was available off the shelf. I don't recall ever waiting or hunting for a game at any point past the N64 era.

OOT was a legendary hunt led by my Mom.

None yet, because I only pre-order games that I know are going to be good, and ones that I can get a discount off of launch day price.

Metroid: Other M, sort of killed preordering for me.

I occasionally preorder for bonus goodies or special editions, but I've stopped doing it for every game I want. Other M was so disappointing.

i still pre-order full games, however Wolf Among Us was the last time I paid for episodic games. Their delaying work on the game to work on bigger branded name games stopped me from going down that road again. I stopped buying Crapcom games well over a decade ago (RE4) for their nickel and dime-ing DLC practices.
