This.

Once again.

Will save ￡60 or so in my bank account, just in case it is worth it.

because the game is not complete and is several months from release. I did not even know people made orders this early, which is not very smart thing to do regardless of what the game is.

I am waiting for the CE, or the unlikely announcement of no CE, before I preorder.

I was a little hesitant to pre-order the game after my last two pre-ordered games turned out to be a huge disappointment (Fable 3, Dragon Age 2)
but upon trading game into Gamestop the store manager convinced me to pre-order it, because i got so much money for my trade ins. I know its gonna be good, maybe it will fill that void that was left by two terrible games that i wasted money on D:

Gears of War 3 is an FPS with quite a few trailers and a beta.

Skyrim is an RPG with sparse screenshots and one trailer.

The average gamer knows what they're getting with GOW3, but even the most hardcoe TES fans are still unsure about a lot of key aspects of Skyrim.

Monday's E3 demo should give people a better idea of what to expect from the game, leading to more preorders.

Gears of War is actually a third-person tactical shooter. But it's got guns, chainsaw guns, and as of the third iteration, boobies. So yeah. Definite Bro-bait there. Not that there's anything wrong with that, Gears of War is one of the few "Shooters" I absolutely love, because of it's unapologetic "Michael Bay" feel, and great aesthetic design.

Are you implying that we owe Bethesda more preorders?

» Thu May 19, 2011 8:28 am

I already know I'll be buying the game - Collector's Edition, on PC. For some reason, I've never pre-ordered a game, except maybe a week or so before release. Just never had the need. :shrug:

I'm personally just waiting. I know for a fact I'll get skyrim, whatever they announce.

Do you guys have to pay to preorder? :blink: It's free at my local game store.

I'll preorder on steam if you can preload it.

I have deleted a few posts, it is fine to discuss and disagree but lay off with personal attacks.

» Thu May 19, 2011 11:17 am

I have already preordered but only because the gamestop in my area has gotten a ton of people preordering

» Thu May 19, 2011 6:26 am

You can't blame me, my pre-order has been paid off for at least 2 months.

» Wed May 18, 2011 11:28 pm

I'm waiting on official word of what we get with the game & the CE as well.

if the game is worth it I'll buy the GOTY like I did for Morrowind, Oblivion & Fallout 3

Pre-ordering GoW3 got players into an early beta.

I haven't pre-ordered Skyrim, but if I could get into a beta for Skyrim by pre-ordering I would in an instant =P

It's still too early for me. We still got five months and some change left to go.

Besides, I usually pre-order a week or two before the game releases anyway. I do, however, make certain execptions to an exclusive number of video games I want (if I want to get the CE and pay it off early) and Skyrim just happens to be one of them.

Waiting for Collectors Edition!

» Wed May 18, 2011 9:59 pm

I pre-ordered it back near the beginning January as I have absolutely no doubts about this game not completely blowing my mind, and I will surely swallow my own head the first time I play it :tes:

» Thu May 19, 2011 12:43 am

I don't really know what platform i'll get it on it yet, once we've received the system requirements then that'll be the crutch if im going to pre-order it on pc or ps3, but I doubt it would change much from Fallout 3 and I was able to run that on max settings with the higher res textures.

but rpg's will never be more popular than shooter games.

Being a big fan of both the Gears of War series and TES. I have to say not much has been released about the game to the people who are going to be new to the series. Gears 3 pre-order gave you a code to test it out by a beta. As for the Loyal fans to the TES series, I for one have already pre-ordered my copy, and I will know this game will brain bang me to this mental state of pure enjoyment.

I pre-order when I know im getting the game, and I have the money available. More than once a game has come out and I have had to wait a while to get it. Think of it as lay-a-way.

And please dont respond with how little $60 is too you. We are not all on the same boat.

I usually wait a while any ways for the bugs to get fixed. so preording just because It might be sold out for a few weeks is not really advantagoues to me.
