You are the reason developers & publishers continue to flood the market with this shit, and the world would be a better place if you had never existed.

I've only done the second last one but not for extended periods of time.
Pretty sure no one on Sup Forums does any of that other shit you mentioned

Your wrong, but okay sure whatever you want to think. Not even worth wasting my time.

The problem isn't game devs, they're just doing what works and making money.
The problem isn't gamers either.
The problem is the Internet. We were better without it.

Well, colour me surprised, I'm innocent

You forgot to mention playing videogames in public, maybe the worst offender of all.

Did every single one. Fight me.

season pass is cheaper than the dlc I was gonna buy anyway

>>Purchased a more expensive "delux" "collectors", etc. edition.
That should only count if it is/was digital only.

I have never even actually bought a game, so I guess I'm ok.

Only Pokémon for the pre-order figures.
Kuma's R. Mika costume in SFxT
Same.
JoJo's Bizarre Adventure: All Star Battle
Never
Never
Tekken Tag Tournament II and I deeply regret it
Never
Live? Never
AVGN I guess
Never

there is literally nothing wrong with pre-ordering a game

Reminder that if you've ever quentin posted, you are the cancer that caused the current state of the Sup Forumsidya board.

There is never a shortage of games day 1 unless they are unknown nip shit that they didn't think anyone would want so the stores only bought 5 copies.

Even then, if your infantile brain HAS to play the game as soon as it comes out and can't bear the thought of having to wait a little bit on the miracle a game is actually sold out at every single store in a 10 mile radius you should be shot.

You should never put your faith in a game before it is out. See Mass Effect Andromeda. You should ALWAYS wait for reviews.

Pre-order sales entices publishers to remove game content from the game and market it instead as a "pre-order bonus" for idiots that pay full price for a game before they even know if it's good or not. It's just like that picture of the Mona Lisa with the removed bits.

I preorder Max Payne 3 and got it at midnight.

It was alright.

I'll add
>gone to a midnight release

to the list. thanks.

this, how can you even post quentin without mentioning the core tenet of quentinanity

>never went to a midnight release
And Sup Forums calls themselves real gamers lmao

>Purchased a digital copy of a game while a physical release was readily available, especially at an equatable price.
Literally nothing wrong with this.
Specially now since physical editions don't even come with a manual, hell nowadays they don't even come with a CD, just a key to redeem the game on steam or whatever.
If games still came on those hueg boxes witha beefy manual then I would think about it, but at this moment there's no incentive to chose physical over digital unless you want plastic hanging around your house.

Imagine being embarassing enough that you keep this picture on your hard drive for when you want to be an elite asshole on your Taiwanese basket weaving forums

Literally irredeemable faggots, kill yourselves immediately.

Reminder that Quentin actually supports loot boxes and preorders. Fuck off newfag.

>If you've done anything related to gaming in the last 15 years, you're what's wrong with gaming

Ok

fuck you I played a beta of lotro and ended up pre-ordering + buying the deluxe to get some cool artbooks and shit as well as buying a lifetime subscription. I enjoyed the shit out of lotro for a goof 7 or so I even saved money by buying lifetime sub instead of paying monthly

Only when physical wasn't an option. Disc drives die.

This, really. Physical used to be great, but now there is just no point, most of them are tied to Steam, GoG or something anyway and manuals don't exist any more. It's just a waste of plastic now.

>Have you done anything related to the board you are on?
>YOU R CANCER
Good job op, you proved you are just a faggot that never plays games and just shitposts online all day.

>playing on pc to begin with

Me too, beat it in one sitting as well.

Who the fuck cares about physical. You're a dummy.

none of those things are required to enjoy video games. they only contribute to the downfall of the medium.

good thing i only pre-order games that i know are going to be good and cancel ones that i'm unsure about

yeah I'm pretty f'ing epic and hardcore

Who was the bigger faggot?
>Quentin
>ButterToast
>Snapfit
>Gorespammer
>Mechwarriorfag

Oh, yeah, consoles. People play on those. Sorry, I forgot. Yeah, in this case physical all the way, although it''s still utter shite that almost no games get a cool physical releases any more.

yeah but what if I want to buy a game from Amazon and want it to ship out as fast as possible

What if I just watched a lets-play because I was trying to decide if I wanted to buy the game?
Do you know how many gimmicks they try to shoe-horn into rpgs these days.
Just let me turn-based cast fireball for fucks sake.

Certainly not Quentin because he was just a great, well-rounded person that only wanted to teach others the error of their ways,

Wrong ya lil faggot dick muncher.

If you supported sony during the ps1 era then you are the one at fault for the current era of faggotry.
Since sony were the ones that created the dude bro audience. That then later spawned the mainstream casual audience which ultimately led to all the bullshit we have today simply because they willing accept that shit.


So if you aint shitposting. Then hate on the real and actual bullshit which laid the ground worked for shit that ultimately made shit as shitty as it is today.

Why would I quit any of these when the only possible gain I could get is validation from some random guys posting on a board where people supposedly hate video games?

no

you're not entirely wrong, but you do come off as an entitled poorfag that doesn't realize that base game prices haven't gone up for a decade. A game that came out in 2007 for $60 should sell in 2017 for about $70. A far cry from the virtual currency once a year 2k sports $150 ultimate edition shitboxes, but you also expect far too much from a publicly traded company. Let me guess, early access games are cancer, too?

So now that all AAA and most indie titles are off the table, what's left? Some DARPA funded SJW bullshit click f to get hiv game?

Could anyone actually predict what it would lead to back then without clairvoyant abilities though?

Yes, because ported arcade games were so much better.

Games should be priced on value.

Witcher 3=+$100

Shadow of War=-$30

no cause nintendo was doing rumble pack expansion bullshit too during the N64 era which was the same time frame. the only ones really free from this sin is fucking segafags and they have the problem of sega being universally shit.

The answer is ManletTears

exactly.

Literally all me lmfao, and I'm over here having fun while worthless dweenies bitch about it because change hurts their feelings. What's it like to be so virginal?

...

manly tears cause he fucking never actually went away and became some faggot user leafposter.
besides which quintin at least tried to stop the reckless faggotry that is modern Sup Forums in his own way, you can't fault him for that.

Jesus Christ I'm literally every single one of those.
Am I the problem?

...

Nah, it's just tards trying to feel superior in regards to something completely worthless and superficial. Do what you want

The only game I ever preordered was Xenoblade Chronicles because it was limited quantity and went for 90+ bucks in Murrica afterwards for years. There's nothing wrong with Collector's Editions for something you like if it's worth whatever is in it

I miss Quentin

2017 was the best year for games in recent memory.

Why is preordering bad? I did when I was younger for special editions.

Buying sight unseen is a no no

>Watched someone else play a game being streamed online
>Watched an "e-celeb" that makes a living playing video games
Lost me with these tbqh, OP. Watching streams is the objectively best way to determine if a game is worth your time and money, since it offers the most unadulterated looks at new releases and old games alike.
>Streamed yourself playing a game
Friendless faggot NEET who thinks games can only be escapism for his awful life detected. Streaming for/with your friends is fun as fuck and video games are a great social hobby with IRL people you enjoy spending time with.

Because the game might just as well turn out to be shit. If you would have instead waited a week after release before buying it to hear the opinions and reviews and it would turn out to be shit, you would thus avoid giving devs undeserved money.

The internet existed, I don't think people put $5 down on games they just heard of for the first time.

>Why is preordering bad?
It's literally meaningless. Nobody runs out of physical copies anymore, and the fact that people do it for digital releases still boggles my mind. It only encourages companies splitting up content for "GameStop/Walmart/Best Buy exclusives for preordering!" bullshit.

>actual unpaid reviews come out before the launch date

>Pre-ordered a game
Nope
>Purchased on-disc dlc
Not that I know of
>Purchased cosmetic dlc
Yep. You'll never take my Stellaris Plantoids from me
>Purchased in game currency
Not directly
>Purchased a "loot-box", "card", or any other form of in game gambling service
Yep
>Purchased a season pass
Ew, no
>Purchased a more expensive "delux" "collectors", etc. edition.
Yep. I like the physical merch some games have
>Streamed yourself playing a game
I hate people, so no
>Watched someone else play a game being streamed online
only YouTube reviews and that's rarely
>Watched an "e-celeb" that makes a living playing video games
YouTube reviews for some games. I guess that counts
>Purchased a digital copy of a game while a physical release was readily available, especially at an equatable price.
Yeah. Gas costs money.

>Pre-ordered a game
very scarcely. I preordered Mario odyssey. last time I preordered a game before that was borderlands 2.
>Purchased on-disc dlc
no
>Purchased cosmetic dlc
no, although I don't really have a problem with this one.
>Purchased in game currency
I've bought $20 of gems in GW2 about 3 years ago.
>Purchased a "loot-box", "card", or any other form of in game gambling service
only if it doesn't affect gameplay, otherwise I won't touch them. I have no qualms with cosmetic only loot boxes.
>Purchased a season pass
no, this is arguably the biggest scam in modern gaming next to early access (aka pay us to test a game we will never finish)
>Purchased a more expensive "delux" "collectors", etc. edition.
not since borderlands 2 (I was super hype for that game)
>Streamed yourself playing a game
no
>Watched someone else play a game being streamed online
yes
>Watched an "e-celeb" that makes a living playing video games
yes
>Purchased a digital copy of a game while a physical release was readily available, especially at an equatable price.
I do this with steam games, otherwise I always prefer physical.

I guess Im cancer, sorry Sup Forums

>Pre-ordered a game
Yep, but only games on Amazon Prime with pre-order discounts and niche games with limited copies.
>Purchased on-disc dlc
Nope.
>Purchased cosmetic dlc
Nope.
>Purchased in game currency
Nope.
>Purchased a "loot-box", "card", or any other form of in game gambling service
One TF2 key I instantly regretted.
>Purchased a season pass
Nope.
>Purchased a more expensive "delux" "collectors", etc. edition.
Just Ys Celceta's because it was so cool and not too much more expensive.
>Streamed yourself playing a game
Nope.
>Watched someone else play a game being streamed online
Just Vinny, mainly the weird streams.
>Watched an "e-celeb" that makes a living playing video games
See previous.
>Purchased a digital copy of a game while a physical release was readily available, especially at an equatable price.
Nope.

>Purchased a "loot-box", "card", or any other form of in game gambling service
I'm guilty of buying VC in NBA2K17 and NBA2K18 for not wanting to grind characters. In my defense I already had grinded 3 players in NBA2K17 before I just spent the $40 on VC so I can level up my 2 new builds I had made.

In 2K18 I just said fuck it after a month and bought the VC. I'm not spending any more money though. I'll use that character to earn VC for other characters, etc etc.

>Streamed yourself playing a game
Guilty.

>Watched someone else play a game being streamed online
Guilty.

I think I'm good.
