Right now, what's on your preorder list?

A lot of people here have said they only preorder when they trust the devs, want some collectible, or are really attached to the franchise and so ignore potential day 0 issues.
I'm most curious about the first case. What upcoming games do people trust developers to deliver?

 

[I Love Rock 'n' Roll]

The Last of Us Part III, I'll be there fucking day 1!

 

[Nankatsu]

Just FFXVI.

 

[feynoob]

Sadly my wallet doesn't allow me this option this year.
70$ per game and too many games that I want to play.

 

[Zheph]

FFXVI and Diablo 4

 

[xrnzaaas]

I don't pre-order anymore except for carefully selected titles from studios that I trust. I definitely plan to pre-order 2 of the upcoming Like a Dragon games.

I intended to pre-order Alan Wake 2, but with no physical release that's not gonna happen.

 

[draliko]

Ff16 and D4 the only preorders I did in couple of years

 

[Heisenberg007]

Of the games announced:

• Final Fantasy XVI
• Spider-Man 2
• Hades 2
• Hollow Knight Silksong (but I'm a little cautious because of continuous delays and may like to see/hear a lot more about the game first)

 

[Joramun]

Diablo 4. Get to max level fast and then relax and farm after.

 

[KungFucius]

Final Fantasy XVI. I preorder most Sony platform exclusives on disk and want them day 1 so Spider-Man 2 will be queued up on Amazon when ready I bought the system for those games only. Same for Nintendo, but not all of their exclusives are my thing. Mario, Zelda, Xenoblade, Metroid. I preorder on PC too. I check prices on keys sites and if they are decent and the game is something I will play then I will do that. Hogwarts is a recent example. I did not preorder the Star Wars game because Zelda was on the way, but would have if it was the only thing. Now PC preorders are a week or 2 out, not months like the physical console games.

 

[Bartski]

Diablo 4 and Armored Core 6 with some time off booked. I don't see the point of preordering if I know I can't play a game on release, so there are some games I normally would but they'll have to wait due to work.

 

[mrmustard]

I wanted to say none, but Diablo IV got me and is my first pre order in years.

 

[Beardsalt]

And until I finish it nothing else

 

[Tams]

TotK was my only one and I don't think I'm going to have much time for any other games this year.

 

[Tiamat2san]

Street fighter 6 ,MK1 (the big digital version as i do for every fighting game) so it will be for Tekken 8 too when possible
And Diablo IV for the Xbox side.

FF XVI for the PS5 side.

I will certainly take alan wake 2 too.

 

[Naked Lunch]

I haven't preordered a game since Perfect Dark on N64.
Who are you people?
Especially in this day and age of broken junk on launch.

 

[PeteBull]

For now D4, preordered back in december, i really wanna play FF16 too but not sure how much of my time D4 gonna take, might be few weeks or few months, depending on how good endgame it will have.

 

[dreamstation]

Bone Totem (well, backed it not pre-order) and D4.

 

[NeonGhost]

Final fantasy 16 just saving up some more Microsoft rewards points for Amazon gift cards lol

 

[ShadowNate]

It's a maybe for Half Life 3.

 

[Gorgon]

For what it's worth given the OP's question, I never pre-order anything and I rarely pay full price for a game.

 

[reksveks]

No pre-orders and can't see anything on the calender that I would except for maybe BG3. Potentially P3R.

 

[Calling 911 Melts Beams]

i preorder every game or else my favorite companies will go out of business

 

[SSfox]

SF6, FF16, Tekken 8, Stellar Blade, Rise of Ronin, DQ12, Next Persona.

 

[Saiyan-Rox]

Got FF16 due to getting some nice Amazon credit. Next pay day is gonna be assassin's creed mirage

 

[Sethbacca]

Ff16 at the moment. I’ll be there for Spider-Man 2 and Ff7 rebirth too tho

 

[DownLikeBCPowder]

Just Final Fantasy XVI. That's it for the foreseeable future as far as I know.

 

[Dr.brain64]

Almost all
-sony
-ubisoft

 

[Perrott]

Maybe Grand Theft Auto VI just to have it pre-downloaded on my system in advance to the game's launch.

 

[35cent]

None for me right now. The only one I would consider pre ordering would be FFXVI but after being badly burnt by XIII and XV I want to see and hear more about it first before I commit to buying it. Also I got a bit of a backlog anyway so I can wait a bit before playing it.

 

[Azzurri]

Diablo IV

 

[Kusarigama]

Mortal Kombat 1, NetherRealm have delivered time and again. The last game i preordered was Metal Gear Solid 5

 

[HeisenbergFX4]

Only one currently ordered is Diablo but will preorder the premium editions of Forza and Starfield even though I have Gamepass Ultimate

 

[hinch7]

FFXVI. Diablo VI as well which was bundled in with my graphics card.

 

[Draugoth]

Starfield

 

[Drizzlehell]

None. Why would you even do that?

 

[BlackTron]

I don't really understand preordering these days unless there is some sort of free bonus AND you know you are there day one for a physical copy anyway. The only game that fit both those parameters for me in like 20 years was TOTK. And if Walmart hadn't advertised their free wall scroll I would have just walked into a store and bought the game. Even day one there were tons of copies everywhere.

Yeah maybe there are digital preorder bonuses and stuff but I'm more likely to do the opposite, wait forever and get the ultimate edition of a game for $5 lol

 

[SmokedMeat]

Nothing. I’ve got credit set aside for Starfield, but I’m not buying until I see some reviews, and hear about performance.

 

[Laptop1991]

None, i stopped pre ordering a long time ago now, i wait until a game is out now, then decide, which after the last couple of years on PC has turned out to be a good decision

 

[splattered]

Just Diablo right now but I do wanna preorder Tekken soon too

I buy, play and trade in within the first month of release, on consoles. Maybe lose £5-10 value. Like essentially renting a game, without the pressure.

If I enjoy it I may rebuy down the line for a fraction of the price. If I don't then its a play once and done. Get to play it from launch and avoid potentially getting spoiled by some idiot online weeks/months in.

 

[Aenima]

This year, just Final Fantasy XVI.

And thats because its the only game i want to play day 1, and pre-ordering saves me money, as the game (Physical) is cheaper during the pre-order window.

 

[Kilau]

Nada limited collector edition.

 

[cash_longfellow]

Only FFXVI here as well.

 

[worldwithpyramids]

Uh, I pre-ordered Metroid Prime 4 on Amazon in 2018 for the discount. That’s it.

 

[EverydayBeast]

Tears of the kingdom was a great preorder I’m ready to preorder breath of the wild 3 lol

 

[Clintizzle]

I live in 2023 and just download games on release and sometimes even preload them few days before release day.

 

[bender]

Diablo, Street Fighter, Armored Core, Pikmin

 

[Torrent of Pork]

The only way to not get fucked over is to never preorder anything sight-unseen.

 

[Corian33]

Diablo IV - No doubt it’s going to be great at this point.

Armored Core VI - Haven’t pre-ordered yet but it’s inevitable.
