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.
The ONLY two advantages to preordering now are game preloading, and exclusive preorder digital stuff for a game you were already going to buy at full price day one anyway.
I preorder FFXIV expacs because it comes with an accessory to make leveling jobs wicked fast. So it's worth it and a game I know I will play. Other games I wait. Not only do I know it won't be my primary game, but I know not all games are going to be great.
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.
The only Mario series that gets more than rare 33% discounts
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.
Ubisoft games drop in value super fast
