Should I Pre-order Shadow of Mordor?

Won't say if pre-ordering is a good idea, since that's none of my business... :)

But you'll get a better deal trading for it, as the "Premium Edition" is about USD30 in the Russian steam store. If you're not a fan of trading, Nuuvem is selling the base game for about USD30.

If you'd search the forum you'd realize someone asked the exact same question a few days ago and you'll got lots of opinions from different people there.

Also you can find the Premium Edition which includes the Season Pass for 15 TF2 Keys on Steamtrades.. about 30$. Just make sure you're trading with someone who's got some decent rep on there, but in the end that's a way better deal. If you never traded on Steamtrades it's pretty simple.. you can buy some TF2 keys from someone there.. normally about 1.85-1.90$ per key, then you can trade those keys to a Russian trader.. Voilà !! A nice ROW gift for you !!

Skip the premium edition, it looks like crap and it's a rip off.

Buy the base game on nuuvem extra cheap, ignore season pass (only 1 storyline content and the rest is leadboards competition). Pretty much not worth it's current price.

No

If it starts with "pre-order", get away. You don't know how good the game will be.
NO!

Unless you know a game is good.... no. Normally, it'd be a good idea to pre-order once reviews are out and you feel like you'd like to absolutely have the game day-1. But... this game isn't given to any reviewer (for apparent no reasons), and when reviewers aren't getting review copies, something weird is up, therefore pre-ordering the game is even a bigger risk than usual.

If you have the money and don't care if it turns out to be a shit then yes. Otherwise, no.

"should I pre-order 'x' ?"

• no

Depending on how much faith you put in reviews, the game has been reviewing well. High-80's to mid-90's type of well.

Nah

Points to whoever can spot the wtf moment first.

Was on the fence about this, reading some indepth reviews has swung me over to buying it. :) I'm very much a story girl so for me, the fact the world changes so much even without direct action by you makes this super exciting.

Even if the pc port is bad, people will mod it quickly to be better.

Reviews are good, if you have a beefy pc go ahead. Otherwise, wait for benchmarks.
