Thats true.After i bought swtor collectors edition i realised the mistake i have done.

The only game im willing to play is diablo 3.I played the beta and the game is going to be awesome.i know it was easy but that was only 1% of the game.

I preordered collectors edition as the final collectors in my list except the upcoming diablo expansions :).

In gw 2 i didnt preordered ce because i didnt had the oportunity to play the game.Additionaly im not even sure if i will buy the standar game in the end.Im tired of all these mmorpg craps coming one after another fooling people around saying we are the jesus in the mmorpg genre.

Thats why i turned back to my beloved game Diablo.It's not mmo,you can play with your friends,you can have much of adrenaline pumbs while playing in higher difficulties and you can even crank your adrenaline to the max by playing hardcore.

Additionaly u can try your luck to the rmah hoping to earn some cash for energy drinks :)

Finally you got pvp that will come after 3or 6 months and at least 2 expansions if im right that will follow in the upcoming years.But im sure blizard will add more than 2 expansions if they see that game has made a huge success.

Having a game like this seriously..who gives an f about mmorpgs.

It is kinda like going to the movies.

You generally know what to expect via the trailers/actor/director etc.

Sides, last I checked, a night out is more expensive than a $60 game anyway so who cares if I buy 1-2 crap a month? :P

its not about money. its about ensuring we dont get shit games in the future.

you buy crap games -> you lose some cash, no biggie

you buy crap games -> devs keep making crap games knowing that you will buy them

 

 

also; i generally spend less that $60 on a night out.

how many hours do you play a video game a month?  Just one night?  Turn it into money per hours then come back to us.

night out chance to get laid.

at home playing zero chance to get laid.

 

now tell me witch one you choose? :p

 

also I agree with no buying crappy games make devs make better games, it also should be used for all DLCs and any other method to milk games, like selling endings, paying for DLC who are already in cd you know all the crap things most gamers let then do....

Sure, he must be some kind of player. 

No worries, I've learned my lesson with Age of Conan.

No way I'll ever pay for any new MMORPG without an extensive trial/beta.

So no one should buy until someone else buys to tell you about it?

Awesome advice duder!

So we don't have to believe the gaming sites but we have to believe you:P

Most games not only are reviewed but also have alfa/beta testers placing gameplay videos on youtube or forums where players tell about the game you can have fair knowledge of most games before you can deside to buy the game or not.

You don;t have to tell what i should or should not ok and thank you have nice day:)

And who desides whats crap or whats not? Tell me whats definition of crap game?

For one its crap for other its awesome game remember thats my friend.

Nice attempt - but it won't work of course. Too many people seem to have an MMORPG addiction and are excited that a new game comes up - it doesn't really matter what the game is and what features there are.

It's funny how many of the GW2 fans have been SWTOR fans just half a year ago. In fact some of them even made posts like "innovative", "changes the way we play MMOs", "makes Blizzard nervous" on the SWTOR forums 6 months ago. They're now making the same posts about GW2. :)

I reckon there are a number of players in the MMORPG genre that really want to be excited, they want to be all hyped up. It's almost as if getting all excited and hyped-up is more fun to them than actually playing the game.

This is very spot on.

It's really hard to tell people to do that when all the preorders come with special benefits.

Many MMO let you play beta if you preorder....or they let you play a couple of days in advance...people are going to buy it no matter what.

Game companies are one step ahead of us.

For the patient ones, the non hype train passangers, it's actualy quite a good feature, a luxury even, to have a crowd of people willing to test a product for you, for free or even pay to test it.

I'm quite happy this way. And than you even get to say TOLD YOU. That's the best part :>

Yet more reason for F2P.

Tried LoL, Tribes, Super MNC, Star Trek Online, and Stronghold Kingdoms.  For free.

Guess which ones received my money?

Answer: all the non-crap ones.  (Which I could tell were non-crap because I could play them.  For free.)

Yeh. Read the reviews, and posts from beta-testers.

There are always some who get to play the game BEFORE anyone has to buy.
