Arkham Knight Pre-order... Go for it?

Noooo don't preorder

Life is short

Why not, your money, your choices

You could try getting a copy from someone who bought an Nvidia card but doesn't want the game. I did a search on ebay and already found one with a slightly cheaper buy now price than the GMG deal.

Personally, I would advise against preordering as it's really not healthy for the consumers in general, especially these past few years with half arsed releases that aren't properly fixed till months later. Although almost 50% off is a hell of a good deal in this case, even I would be tempted.

If you want to do it, go for it, as you might not see this kind of sale until next year, but if you have a decent backlog of games already, hold off until it's confirmed not buggy and is on another good sale.

why would you buy a game that isn't even out yet

Might want to check out This deal before you buy from GMG. I don't know anything about the site except what I was able to Google, and that a friend from Germany had no problems when he purchased from them, previously.

too expensive even with a 40% coupon. I was ok with nuuvem pre-order pricing, but that was going to be region locked to SA so I refunded my order. Too much backlog to shell out $53 on a game that I will only use to benchmark my upcoming graphics card.

Also since it's WB, their games will be on 75% sale in less than a year.

Are you a fan of Batman?
Have you tried and liked the previous installments?
Do you have spare money to waste?

If you got at least 2 of 3 Yeses, go for it.

You seem to have the money and the intention to buy it. So the real question is, will you play it right away when it launches or will you leave it waiting in your backlog?
If you're going to play it on day one, then just buy it and enjoy it.

Pre-order; Not even once.

Don't take my word but This

there's an idiom that well-known in my country.
don't buy a cat inside a sack

I just checked the steamgifts trade forums. Codes from Nvidia are going for around 11 keys (approximately $22).

Don't give in to pre-ordering. It's a bad for our future. (Must not ... give in... )

Oh Batman, the days you would snap your enemies necks, crush their bodies, lynch them from the batplane, and just plain go to crazy town with machine guns. You truly were the god damn batman before you received marvelous magic powers and some wacky code of honor in a city that will always get worse and worse. Holy Batman indeed Robin.

I'll be waiting 2-3 years till GOTY + full dlc is like $25, but hey, if you got the dough pre pay for the show.

I woudn't do it but I'm very cheap so :P

i would if it wasent for all that dlc an nonsense already planned, ill grab the inevitable GOTY edition with all that tat for one price.

Thanks for the help folks!

I actually wasn't sure what kind of turnout I'd get.

I'm gonna hold off. The next chapter in the Arkham saga can wait.

I'll buy it for 10 bucks in 2016 or 2017 and play it in 2018. Meanwhile I have hundreds of games in my backlog, including Arkham City and Arkham Origins. :)

nope i will wait for sale off than preorder a game,your money your choice

If I could see the poll as a persistently updated pie chart, that would be pretty neat.

Listen despite what others say (I didn't got the time to check) idk if you have made up your mind but I would really suggest you NOT to pre order (any game in overall), these words coming out from a guy like me who has Batman Arkham Knight, kinda ironic but I have the game from Nvidia. However my point is that it is really not worth the pre order, only cos they stomp some ''bonuses'' to lure us like little kids....NO, trust me. Wait for GOTY where you can play all those ''bonuses'' maybe for a cheaper price.

Probably. There's pre-order bonuses that you only can get by pre-ordering. I pre-ordered.

Preorder is for the weak. True men pirate games.

A game made by Rocksteady, one of the best and most promised studio that showed what they can do, i see only quality from them, seriously these guys make games with passion.

I can safely preordered but im afraid the shady tactics of the publisher which can destroy a game franchise in no time.

Please... old men in Bethesda, 2K, WB, EA, etc, show respect to your sons/daughters or even your chick and leave this stuff to them to make decisions for a game.
