There's no way to tell whether or not a game is good before it's actually been released and there are proper reviews. It allows the gaming industry to hype their games, sell it before anyone has the chance to realise just how bad the game really is and then deliver a massive disappointment.

Another good example would be aliens: colonial marines. Much hype, worst game for ages.



True, pre-order is a scourge, people should reject it. Sadly too many fall for this scam.



As for hype and disapointment, SimCity 2013 wins 'worst' for me at this point.


When we compare the two romes launch looks rather smooth.

The Titanic's maiden voyage went pretty smoothly compared to Simcity's 2013 launch.
Too be fair, given TA's previous Total War games, people were deluding themselves thinking Rome II was going to be different, its not like we heard all the hype before and were left disappointed.

But but, what about all the preorder exclusive stuff you get. Lol


Anyway I can agree with you about pre-ordering games. So much hype on these things anymore.


Learned that the hard way from Pre-ordering ME3. First mistake, pre-oredering ME3, not recieving any of the bonus content was just icing on the cake EA threw at my face Roll

wumbo
