None of those reasons sound especially practical to me, but I may be in the minority. I’d rather wait and see that the game is stable and if I really want the extra content I’ll get it later (I’m patient).
I worry that pre ordering may send a message to publishers that a game doesn’t need to be good or even finished
Interesting. I can’t see any practical reason TO preorder. Are they going to run out of digital copies? Am I going to forget to buy it? I’d rather wait for reviews and a couple patches.
I don’t want to yuck anyone’s yum, as the review scores keep improving so obviously folks are liking it, but you’re not alone if it still doesn’t click. They keep polishing it and piling on more stuff, but the base game is still rather disjointed and in my opinion, easy to burn out on. Procedural generation doesn’t mean any of the procedurally generated things are going to be interesting.
I watched someone on twitch playing this and there was a point the character was playing a phone game and it was so frustratingly accurate the way it portrayed the “watch ads to get gems, but the ad is a fake game that you try to close but you click the wrong X and it leads to a broken link” experience perfectly
