The first one is a decent game.

But it also went to $20 extremely fast. Pretty much by itself, that takes the pressure off of rushing to buy it.

I pre-ordered the game.

Then, very quickly, the full game + all DLC was available for $20. And I was annoyed, because the DLC itself barely went on sale at all. I sure as shit am not about to pay more for it, after overpaying in the first place. So what do I get? Zero DLC. Nice.

I learned my lesson. I’m waiting for the sale on part 2. And on this new prince of persia game.

Rule 1: Never pre-order

Pre-orders used to come with sweet incentives, since there’s otherwise no reason to do it. I’ve got cool tins, coins, plushies, and even a working mini harmonica from pre-orders I did in the 2000’s. Now they give you nothing but a few in-game items if you’re lucky. I have no idea why people even do it anymore.

I pre-ordered a game once. It came out 09NOV2010.

Still haven’t played it. Probably never will. The HD remaster is on steam now with mixed reviews.

Never made that mistake again.

I managed to buy mine on sale but not soon enough to get cheap parts… Waited out and found a bulk load being sold for mega cheap at a local warehouse.

The second is a decent follow-up, too. There’s some things I wish it hadn’t changed while others I wish it had changed more, but honestly, I enjoyed playing it. A lot. Even the DLCs, though they are just more of the same and most will feel it’s too samey at that point.

The first game was great but I got it at a steep discount. I have fully intended on getting the sequel but I wasn’t running out to get it at full price with so many games still in my backlog

Mario + rabbids had no right being as good as it was. It’s cool its getting a bit more notice.

These people and their definition of “flop” perplexes me.

It’s what happens when the only people calling the shots are the ones whose personal payment directly scales with “over-success”. Anything that just makes money or just does well is a “failure”.
