    If only there was some method to check the gameplay after release and decide if you want to purchase.

    Emotionally pre-ordering a game based on your own expectations is a meme.

    I wanted to play KSP2 and waited an actual decade for it so I could go to space with my friends. Upon release I checked gameplay and reviews and never ended up buying it. I voted with my wallet and not my complaints, it’s that simple

      If only there had been a game that you had played thousands of hours on and had high hopes for the sequel.

      Also, you waited a decade to play a game you wanted to play? That’s a you problem.

        He’s not arguing against hoping for a better sequel. He’s telling people to stop pre-ordering games without knowing how good the game is going to be.

        Also, you waited a decade to play a game you wanted to play? That’s a you problem.

        Read his reply again. He waited 10 years for it to release and get reviewed before making an informed purchasing decision. He made a smart move.

          Ksp released 2015 so unless they were awaiting its sequel 1 year before it released they are chatting shit. Facts mean nothing to you do they?

      I shouldn’t expect a sequel to do at least what the previous game did and a little more? I don’t have to pre-order a thing to still be disappointed about the state of it’s release when it doesn’t even meet the bare minimum expectation for a sequel.

      It even works in the opposite way. I didn’t get The Witcher 3 at launch because of the expectations set by the first 2 games being technical nightmares. But it turned out to actually be good.

        Should it be the case? Yes. But we’ve been burned enough times that it’s incredibly naive to expect it.
