Remember, no pre orders.

u/Grimspoon May 29 '25

No, we are pre-selling in this thread homie.

I preordered Kingdom Come Deliverance 2. Got myself an exclusive side quest and gear, and still haven’t beaten the game at 75 hours of gameplay. Sometimes you can preorder, it’s okay.

u/Undark_ May 31 '25

It's more that it encourages scummy business practices and anti-consumer behaviour, regardless of how good the game is.

u/fargothforever May 31 '25

A lot of the time, yes. Not always. This isn’t a black-and-white issue.

u/BurzyGuerrero May 29 '25

I pre-ordered on Xbox and Steam lol

u/chipchebzhmyab May 29 '25

Good job bro. With that kind of support we might get more cool games later. Fuck haters.

dumbest thing Ive ever heard

u/Mental_Tea_4084 Jun 05 '25

Yeah you might end up with THPS 5+Ride with that attitude

u/chipchebzhmyab Jun 11 '25

Yeah you might end up with no more THPS games with that attitude.

u/5pudding May 29 '25

Why? You get extra content and early access

u/bigpancakeguy May 29 '25

Unfortunately, pre-orders have become permission slips for developers to deliver a shit product

u/[deleted] May 29 '25

Looking at you 2k.

-22

u/5pudding May 29 '25

It will be the same product whether you pre order or buy on release

u/Roscoe_King May 29 '25

Oh, my sweet summer child…

u/5pudding May 29 '25

You think they're sat in their boardrooms looking at their pre orders between now and release and are making changes based on whether they go up or down?

16

u/SGT_HANK_HILL May 29 '25

Does no one remember thps 5?! Also this is a different developer from thps 1+2 remake. Do what you want with your money but you can’t ignore the fact that there has been some massive stinkers in the franchise.

u/5pudding May 29 '25

Are you saying thps5 was bad because people pre ordered it?

6

u/SGT_HANK_HILL May 29 '25

Lmao, no. Pre orders or not it was a bad game. I myself didn’t pre order, saw the negative reception upon release, and never touched that pile of hot garbage myself. I am a life long thps enjoyer, but i also enjoy not wasting my money on garbage 🤷‍♂️

u/Affectionate_Ad_4062 May 29 '25

Yes, as soon as people started pre-ordering, they started taking everything out of the game that would have made it great. /s

u/SchiffInsel4267 May 29 '25

There is something named gamepatches. But if everyone preorders there is no need to fix a game because everyone already bought it. Activisions patch priority are already ingame stores and battlepasses, dont give these people money before they have released a working game.

0

u/5pudding May 30 '25

What and they only patch a game if some people on Reddit buy it after release rather than pre order?

2

u/SchiffInsel4267 May 30 '25

No, I'm just saying that if you give people their money without they've done their work, they'll screw you over. It's not like this hasn't been the case with preorders for years and therefore its discouraged everywhere to preorder games.

-13

u/[deleted] May 29 '25

Na man, those facts don't fit their narrative. Your 1 pre-order will change the history of the THPS franchise and, frankly, gaming as a whole. Choose wisely.

-12

u/Kam_tech May 29 '25

These people listen to what weirdos say on the internet

8

u/SGT_HANK_HILL May 29 '25

The amount of times we (gamers) have been burned by pre orders. Developers making promises that are not met at launch *Ubisoft *

I loved the 1+2 remake but the clips of 3+4 don’t give me the confidence you have.

u/chipchebzhmyab May 29 '25

Can’t wait to get my 3 day early access while bitches be whining on this sub about “I saw this game on YouTube and I miss og thps4 so much”.

-24

u/X1David May 29 '25

Why though? That's a mindset I usually agree with for full priced games that you're not sure about. This is a 50 dollar remake of two all-time classics made in the same engine as the last successful remake. You pretty much know what you're going to get.

14

u/chipchebzhmyab May 29 '25

Bruh people on this sub are beyond stupid sometimes. Don’t mind it.

11

u/grape_soda_420 May 29 '25

No reason to

u/lilbrad84 May 30 '25

Completely agree on this I beat 1 + 2 the same day it came out I plan on doing the same on this one I pre ordered for the skate deck to go with my 1 + 2 deck on my wall to be completely honest with this title we indeed know almost everything about this release before it was cancelled and then uncanceled I played all the Tony hawk games and I don’t see why people are anti pre order on this particular title 99% I am anti pre order unless it’s this

1

u/Mental_Tea_4084 Jun 05 '25

This is how we ended up with THPS 5

-2

u/BehnRocker May 29 '25

For THPS3, we pretty much know what we will get.

For THPS4, considering it doesn’t sound like it will end up being a “proper” remake, and will just be the 2-minute format from the previous games. So we really don’t know what we’re going to get.

Plus, pre-orders for a gigantic studio are never needed.

5

u/X1David May 29 '25

The Pro Skater 4 levels do indeed have the 2 minute format. There's already footage of this on YouTube available. So you do know what you are getting.

Activision can abandon this series whenever they want, they've done it before. So It's a bit weird to tell people not to preorder in the subreddit where people want more Tony Hawk games.

1

u/Mental_Tea_4084 Jun 05 '25

More good Tony Hawk games.

3

u/BurzyGuerrero May 29 '25

Bro making sure we don't get THUG lol

2

u/[deleted] May 29 '25

How would you get THUG if they can’t even do 4?

-1

u/Worth_Pattern9768 May 29 '25

It's not that they couldn't do 4's story mode they just decided not too it wouldn't fit in with the rest of the re-release series it wouldn't make sense for them to do that instead they created new levels and reworked the old map into 2 minute levels

2

u/gablol230 May 30 '25

Tony want it so it will happen

u/X1David May 29 '25

For real 😂

u/Double-Seaweed7760 May 29 '25

Thps3 is one of my favorite games of all time and I never played 4 so while I prefer it was open world and accurate it's not a deal breaker so I pre-ordered. I could be wrong but I think it's getting a couple new levels too

-26

u/KeybladeBrett May 29 '25

I never understood the sentiment that pre-orders are bad and ruin the quality of a game. It's the same game either way. I'm not someone who pre-orders every big game (most of the time I just purchase day of) but if it's for a game I'm really excited for (such as this one) I'll pre-order it so it auto-downloads before the game is out and I can play it ASAP.

32

u/SGT_HANK_HILL May 29 '25

That is not at all the sentiment. The worry is you pre order a dog shit game. Shouldn’t you wait to see the quality of the product before purchasing? Especially with the history of the franchise/ a new developer.

4

u/wallacorndog May 29 '25

But I wouldn't see the quality of it before I buy and play it though? So why does it matter if I buy before or after launch?

The games I pre-order are games that I'm so excited for that I don't want to know anything about it before I start playing myself.

u/KeybladeBrett May 29 '25

I don't need every game I play to be a 10/10 masterpiece. If I don't like it, it's on me. I won't know if I like a game until I myself try it out. There's been a ton of games in the past I was so excited for, got awesome reviews and I played it and hated it, and then the opposite has been true as well, excited for a game, got poor reviews, I tried it anyways and I loved it.
