I'm not saying it will definitely be terrible or anything. If it gets 10/10 everywhere and I haven't pre-ordered, what is the ABSOLUTE WORST CASE scenario? I have to walk to a shop and I don't get the game until one day later than I would have if I'd pre-ordered it. The horror!
I don't see why people shouldn't be erring on the side of caution with this particular game, is all. After the shitfest that was the last game, they do not deserve your pre-order, and pre-ordering just sends the message that they can do what the fuck they want because you'll happily bend over next time round as well.
