I picked a baaad time for my ticket then. Even though it was a day before Batman refunds. Ah well. Sure would be useful to have an inside man there.

Well things like that should just be on the front page for the controller or when you put your address it goes like nah bro we dont ship to china suks2bu

No. I want to ship it to germany. When it comes out I am back in Germany, so I want to preorder it now while I am in China but send it to my german adress. But I cant even buy the controller from here. There is no "Buy" button.

There is a permanent wall of shame on the Arkham Knight steam page that shows all them pre-ordering suckers.

First 10 posts will have at least 1 person saying each of the following "they wanted the bonuses", "I do what I want with my money" "the last game was good" "the pre-order price was cheap". BET ON IT

Oh please Arkham Knight is one game, people are still gonna pre-order games they have an interest in.
In fact I'ma go now and pre-order Mighty no 9 off of nuuvem.
meanwhile on greenlight
dance fighting game! You had no idea you want this, now you know.
1 bit HD (that was funny) roguelike
you actually can ride giraffe in this game, not sure anything else needs to be said
Also I never even heard about the first game, so I googled, it seems to be a free game, but highly rated.
Dads' brawler, funny idea
This could turn to be good, an ARPG
one more indie fighting game

Speaking of stupid people pre-ordering things...
...any idea when TPP is available?

Looking forward to it. Although in MY VERSION OF THE GAME I don't remember who lived or died. I think the daughter died... Yeah. That game needs to do a better job of like making characters stand out because I hardly remember them.

Gentlemen, we can rebuild it. We have the capability to make the world's first enhanced store. Steam will be that store. Better than it was before.

HA that shouldn't be too hard
(I suck at this game, but it's fun!)

Good luck with the last boss, if you play through Adventure.

Still need to play through the first one, been meaning to do so for a long time but other games keep getting in the way. Gonna have to remedy that as it seems the choices transfer across into the sequel.
Wild Season .0.4.0.3 Update

Well DMC2 didn't bomb it sold really well on the thought it'd be an upgraded DMC1 and that sadly ended up being wrong.
DMC3 had a slow start but it picked up a lot after it got reviewed well.

Because it's hit and miss.
I preordered Witcher 3 for ~20-30 a year before it came out. Turns out to be a very good idea. In turn if I waited for the reviews, I'd have to fork out $50-60.
I preordered AssKnight for ~30. Turns out to be a very bad idea. Basically having to wait for the release because the PC version wasn't reviewed (for obvious reasons now...).
Therefore...I should stop pre-ordering? Pre-ordering is fine when there is a track record of solid working products on release for PC. TPP, Dark Souls 3? I'll probably insta-preorder. Arkham next? Fuck no.
practical effects ftw

On PC, where we now have not only killer savings but an actual refund policy in place, the decision to preorder is less of an issue because we still have options as a consumer in the case that things go awry.
I aint hating on my steam brahs, just on the general notion that retail preorders are unneeded and working against your interests more often than not.
I'm not closed minded. If folks (like MMBosstones86 for example) present cases for their preordering i'm receptive to their points. Just that most of that thread is a whole lot of folks rationalizing bad or irrational behavior and being dismissive of the argument presented, probably mostly due to the part where they were deemed suckers in a hell of a derogatory move probably meant as a total clickbait maneuverWhat a lovely point of departure for a discussion!
which of course means youre a sucker if you get bothered by it because that exactly what that was meant to do, hah.

I'm noping the fuck out of that thread. Too many 'people who preorder are stupid' and 'preordering pc games is stupid' to actually have a rational conversation.
Should be "people who preorder for FULL price are suckers".

Are preorders cheaper than buying after release?
Other than that most of pre-order DLCs are not worth the risk for me at all. There's nothing loosing by waiting a couple days.

i hear ya brother. I come from the age of the russian bear, where you could get a brand new game for the same price you would pay waiting a year or more for the game to drop in price via steam sales. I had TW3 on lock almost a year in advance.
But paying $60 is especially terrible on the consoles, where there's no refund policy in place for the digital version and most places will turn you away if you try to return your game for a full refund at retail.
For the people that missed it during the Summer Sale, Bundlestars has NepNep 2 60% off.

I paid 13 for an NVIDIA code, so it was quite a bit cheaper for me.

Android Steam App seems to be getting a big update soon. A lot faster and with material design. It's not on the play store yet but you can download the apk and install it manually.
In german, a Nep is...not a good thing :>
