X-COM Preorders

[tgb]

Nope....nope.   Not gonna do it!  Stay strong. I just about clicked the buy button at GG.

I promised myself that I'd never to another pre-order after the last couple of debacles.  I'll let someone else be the guinea pig this time around.

I was very dissapointed with two recent Frixasis releases (Civ 5 and Pirates). 

They do not have the track record to entice me to pre-order anything.

Also, a release this big will have tons of reviews and lots of commentary by players pretty shortly after release.  I'm for other people being the beta-testers.

But don't let me stop you from spending your money.  Enjoy and hope it is a great game!

Urrr, the 2 most recent releases are the Civ5 series, and Civ4 Colonization.
Pirates was long ago, and that is talking about the remake :P (the original is ancient)

Thanks...but what I don't understand is their price is $59, then with discount it is $47.  Other sites like steam and gamnersgate by default selling at $49.  Maybe because a box copy?

In north america the retail is the deluxe addition at $59. The electronic and console versions are $49.

Tuna,

That price in the PC Download and not the boxed special addition.

Interesting to see amazon has the xbox and ps3 at 60 bucks and they ARE NOT the special addition. Gotta love those consoles having lower game prices since the platform is stable and easier to code for. Fail!

Wow thanks for reminding me about Civ:Colonization, another ruined memory, I was actually thinking of breakign down and pre-ordering.

[Bison]

Haha.  Personally I'm waiting for Christmas time.  I've no doubt this baby will be on sale and we will know for sure of its quality.

Quickest pre-order for me since Borderlands 2...a week ago.  ;D

Just some info on this.. I checked with their support and no pre-order bonus packs come with it.  Not sure that is a big issue or not, but just thought people would like to know.

Pretty good hands on report on Rock Paper Shotgun : http://www.rockpapershotgun.com/2012/09/13/hands-on-forty-hours-with-xcom/

I need to stop reading these things, because they make me want this right now. And it's still weeks away.

I seldom buy major games at release prices anymore.  I always wait for them get old and go on sale.
I buy indie and wargames at full price to show my support though.
