Straightforward question. State your reasons if you can.

bump update: It's been almost 1 year since Cyberpunk 2077 released. You can do some research and discover for yourself whether the game is in a good state. With that information, as well as the other games launches that you have witnessed since then, does anyone want to change their vote?

 

[Punished Miku]

No chance. But for full disclosure, I hated The Witcher 3. I pre-ordered Cyberpunk to give them a chance at a new style of game.

Needless to say, I didn't like them before and will never purchase a CPR game again.

 

[Certinty]

Why not?

The Witcher 3 was great and despite CP2077 being a buggy unfinished mess, I still had a lot of fun with it.

Plus it’s only like $60, I ain’t exactly going to become homeless if the game ends up being a piece of crap.

 

[struggler_guts]

No way. Reason: CP2077

 

[SantaC]

Witcher 4 will be return to form.

Fuck modern setting, medivial fantasy 3rd person thank you

 

[darkleemar]

I personally have no reason to preorder any game. Most of my stuff is all digital so I can't even say it would be to ensure I get a copy. So no. I wouldnt preorder witcher 4.

 

[Mister Wolf]

Yes the Witcher 3 was the best game of last gen. I play Cyberpunk on PC and have had zero issues since day one.

 

[Paasei]

No, I don't preorder any game.

 

[Troozi]

Nope, but then I don't preorder any games.

 

[Hawking Radiation]

Not pre ordering another game.

Reason: Cyberpunk 2077

Im waiting for performance reviews and then I'll decide based on that.

 

[Aenima]

Hell NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO.

Once you mess up big time like CDPR did with Cyberbugs, my trust in you its gone. From now on it will always be a wait a see. I love the Witcher series, so would wait for other users feedback about the game, yes users, not fucking reviwers that are only sent the best version of the game. If the game runs well in the platform i own, its a buy, if not its a wait for bargain bin sale.

 

[Vlodril]

Day 1. I preordered cyberpunk and i loved the game as well (on pc) so all good here.

 

[Beer Baelly]

Day one

 

[Tommi84]

If the price is right, I'd even buy their collectors edition. The only one I don't have is Witcher 2

 

[Derktron]

First off stop preordering games, why do people do this still the game is still going to be there when it comes out. Unless you want some incentive where you can play early then sure why the fuck not. But why continue to even do this or even ask this. We should learn from the mistakes when supporting devs when it comes to releasing games. For fuck, fucking, fuck, fucking, fuck sakes. Dammit, when will people learn. DO NOT PREORDER ANY GAME!! I can care less if this a hyperbolic question. Rant over.

I never once liked CPR games, I hate how they design combat and overall gameplay.

 

[DrumNBassDanTTV]

No. Its rare i need to pre order games as plenty places hold stock.

 

[LostDonkey]

Hate the Witcher series. Can't get into any of them, I own them all, they just don't resonate with me.

Weirdly though I loved Cyberpunk.

 

[JohnnyFootball]

When games are available day 1 on digital. Please tell me honestly what purpose it serves? I'd really truly like to know.

 

[BootsLoader]

Nope. Not buying hype again. Gonna wait for all videos, trailers, gameplay sneak peeks, graphical downgrades, previews, reviews to happen and then will buy it.

 

[gunslikewhoa]

Fix the fucking combat first.

 

[Denton]

I mean, I preordered Witcher 1, Witcher 2, Witcher 3, Thronebreaker and Cyberpunk 2077 - and enjoyed all of them a ton, with TW1, TW2, TW3 and C77 being my GOTYs in their respective years.
So sure, I would definitely preorder another Witcher 4 Collector's Edition; this company makes my dream games and has yet to let me down. Of course it helps that I play on highend PC and had no significant issues with any of their games at launch.

 

[Africa's Toto]

why ... even ask this

Honestly?

I have no Idea (seriously, no Idea) why people preorder games, especially not these days. This is a poll born of genuine curiousity.

So I picked the company with the most recent large-scale game launch that ended up buggy and unfinished, then looked at a game that would have public demand if it were announced and asked if people would still preorder.

Some insightful replies here already.

 

[balls of snow]

Not only will i preorder. I will double dip too.

 

[KyoZz]

Nop. Fool me once...

 

[Senua]

Day 1. I preordered cyberpunk and i loved the game as well (on pc) so all good here.

Day one

Yes the Witcher 3 was the best game of last gen. I play Cyberpunk on PC and have had zero issues since day one.

 

[Mr Moose]

After Cyberpunk?

 

[Raphael]

Sure.

Reasons: witcher 3 & cyberpunk

 

[MeatSafeMurderer]

No. Prior to CP2077 CDPR was one of the only companies I'd preorder from. Post CP2077 there's 0 chance I'll preorder anything from them again.

Who cares, stop fucking preordering anything no matter if this is an "insightful" topic. We all should be against it. That's why companies keep fucking us in the ass because people refuse to stop preordering games. Is that "insightful" enough?

 

[Hawking Radiation]

In the same boat. Boat Witcher 3 based on hype. Found it fun for the first few hours then bored me to tears.

Cyberpunk (though flawed) has some promise and I actually enjoyed that. Don't like the fact the developer misled console owners on performance of the game but oh well. I'm awake to CDPR and their bullshit now.

I could never get into TW3 until I went through and played them all in order, one of my fav series of all time now, and also the first game might even be my favourite lol

Agree with you 100%. It's gotta stop.

 

[Hinedorf]

Witcher 4 is going to blow out preorders simply because of Witcher 3. For me though zero chance I preorder almost any game at this point.

peons, i mean gamers never learn

 

[Gone]

The only games I pre ordered were Battlefield 4 and Forza Horizon 3.

I normally don't pre order games but I might do it for the next Battlefield.

 

[DavidGzz]

Yes, I think CD Project Red got in over their heads with Cyberpunk. Too ambitious. I think The Witcher 4 will be a more focused adventure. I think they've learned their lesson.

Why in the love of fuck would you pre order an EA game of all the cunts

 

[Rockondevil]

Yes, because if it's garbage I have 10 days to return it.

 

[.Pennywise]

Only if the protagonist is Letho of Gulet

Relax, my man. We're saying the same thing. I consider preordering equivalent to funding early access games, or the promise of a game, especially these days.

But If members of a forum like this still preorder from CDPR just 5 months after Cyberpunk, then nothing will change about the way games are released any time soon.

If it won't stop, at least I can find out why people do it.

 

[Yoboman]

Witcher 3 was also a big downgrade, full of marketing deception and buggy as hell at launch - really only getting where it needed to be after patching

Their big saving grace was that people were just desperately hungry for a next gen experience in 2015 and the nearest point of comparison in open world RPG was Bethesda’s even buggier crap, so all the issues that weren’t acceptable for Cyberunk got overlooked

 

[Gone]

Why in the love of fuck would you pre order an EA game of all the cunts

Because EA makes some great games.

Any other question?

 

[ManaByte]

Yes because I had zero problems with Cyberpunk as I was playing it on hardware it was designed for.

 

[Josemayuste]

 

[xrnzaaas]

Not if Witcher 4 comes out at the end of PS5's life cycle and is crossgen with PS6.

 

[Dibils2k]

yes..yes..yes... give it to me noooooow

 

[Tranquil]

Nope

 

[Dream-Knife]

Nope. With how bad games are getting, I will only preorder Monolithsoft and Atlus games now.

I picked up Witcher 3 on hype, and got pretty bored with it.

 

[Zoro7]

After how bad Cyberpunk was, there is no way I would ever advance money to those fuckers.
