This isn't the same game with the preorder exclusive multiplayer is it?
In 2005...
It is sad Techland keeps making mediocre games while 38 Studios made a great game and got closed.
Game the system. Pre-Order Day 1, get the code, cancel the pre-order and then wait until you are ready to get the game.
Companies shouldn't do this, but not for the reasons expressed by most of GAF.
I think you can just make up the details and get the free stuff.
The place I ordered it from wasn't on their drop down list and it still worked for me.
Solid plan. My suggestion would be to sell the code on Ebay and never buy Dying Light though. You'd still be less scummy than the publisher by orders of magnitude and you get to profit AND you don't support the practice.
It doesn't look like the site validates anything, I just typed in some bullshit and it gave me 8 dockets which I assume will the be currency to get the weapons. So its really just an issue of "register 8 weeks in advance get 8 spacebux, diminishing by one every week after".
I guess kind of a sad way to gauge interest in your product, since I doubt this kind of small studio has any way to pull preorder sales data from places like amazon, best buy, target, walmart, etc.
Of course it'll backfire as some people will register hundreds and thousands of new accounts to get preorder codes which they will try to ebay and the publisher will think they have 2m preorders when its really closer to 1/40th of that.

And people believe this is the greatest era of gaming? :/
Still not going to pre-order. Weapons you get for doing so will be garbage an hour into the game.
Drakengard 3 did this as well with its preorder DLC on the Squeenix store.
Man, what a GREAT game that was. *thumbsup*
How to troll them for doing this
1. Get pre order
2. Register Docket
3. Keep getting weapons on the site until release
4. Cancel pre order the day before release
5. Register codes on PSN/XBL/Steam
6. Buy game at later date on sale
7. Win

It is in the base game. It's an invasion mode. Everyone can get invaded, only those who pre-order (or pay for it) can invade.Then it likely wasn't good enough to make any difference.
If it were, it would be in the base game.
When is Eurogamer's "5 reason why you should not preorder Dying Light" video launching yet...?
;-)
You don't have to preorder, just register on the site.
There is no codes.
What the fuck?! That's way, way worse. Why isn't everyone talking about this instead of stupid weapons that'll probably be outdated 1 hour into the game? Holy shit... that's beyond scummy.The other pre-order DLC is much worse than this dockets crap. They made the ability to invade other players' games pre-order exclusive.
Imagine if Red Eye Orbs in Dark Souls were a preorder DLC item, and cracked orbs didn't exist. That's basically what they are doing here.
HahahahaThey should pre-blow me.
That's pretty shitty, but --

(Apologies if people are talking about this in another thread, I haven't seen it.)
Hahahaha
