I should not need to explain this one.

Beyond that, go for it. Not everyone is on every site all the time.

What was Capcom thinking?
That nerds would bitch and moan and cry then buy it like they always do. Which is exactly what happened.
Unfinished slop will be bought if the game has a devoted enough following/hype, a notable example being Cyberpunk 2077
To be fair the developer that said that and the corporate shill that decided microtransactions should be in the game arent the same person
They added this shit after the reviews and shit came out and said it didn't have any of this garbage though, so it's a bit unfair.
I don't think that's true. I remember seeing some of this stuff on store description at the very least and as far as I'm aware, some reviews mentioned the DLC could not be reviewed because it wasn't live which inferred it was known. I'll have to research this tomorrow because I keep hearing both sides but this aligns with the fact they were available day one unlike RE4Make
I literally took that screenshot right before I made the post. Right this second it's still the number 1 seller on steam.
Many of us preordered because at least for me day 1 performance issues don't bother me. I loved dragons dogma and knew pretty much no matter what I wanted to play this.
Hiding that you have micro transactions until release day is just bullshit. I don't know if that knowledge would have kept me from buying it though. Fast travel so far is pretty much non-existent as the ferry stones are super rare...
Never pre-order. Never. Just don't fucking do it.
I's bad for you and everyone else who buys video games.
I get what you mean, but 99.9% of the time I'm buying it day one anyway so they get me with the dumb trinkets they throw at you for pre-ordering lol
Well, no one is saying you can't buy it on day one, just don't buy it on day minus one.
On the day it comes out you can just check some reviews first and then reaffirm your decision to buy, or you may hear about something you weren't aware of, and then decide not to buy.
Also by doing this, you help all your other fellow gamers, by diminishing the importance of the pre-order and the shenanigans that go with it.
You do realise that the stats wont just change overnight right?
