I haven't, but the first game which I will pre-purchase is Grand Theft Auto V (for PC, when it will be announced). And Half-Life 3, of course.
I preordered Command and Conquer 4. My faith in the whole "pay before you know what the game is like" thing got shot down forever.
Few times I think.
Resident Evil 6 being the recent one
I haven't done this, and probably will never do so either.
I preorder left 4 dead 2, dishonored and bioshock infinite
Haven't been disappointed yet, the only game that was actually worth [i]preordering[/i] was infinite though
I might do it sometime, but only if it comes with a demo or something. (Like Overgrowth)
Edit: Ninja'd
Crusader Kings II and Age of Empires II HD
Not including games like Minecraft, Don't starve etc. that have playable early entry.
yeah, with guild wars 2
r-regret...
I preordered Duke Nukem Forever.
Hnnnnnnnnnnng
Usually if they have some sort of demo so you can at least try it. I've been burned once badly by pre-ordering. BRINK, game was quite alright but needed work so it just died within a month and the devs abandoned it after shitting out some crap dlc instead of fixing the game.
Preordered Borderlands 2 recently and [sp]Shadow the Hedgehog[/sp] when I was much younger.
I pre ordered dead rising 2 and portal 2. Dead rising 2 being such a disappointment kind of put me off the idea.
Portal 2 and Left 4 Dead 2
I only pre-ordered those for the pre-order discount though. The pre-order baseball bat you got in L4D2 was released to the general public a few weeks later anyway.
I pre-order games I look forward to.
I have pre-ordered:
Fable II, Splinter Cell Conviction, Hitman Absolution, Hitman hd trilogy and Dead or Alive 5. I will continue do so with games I really want.
Yeah, sometimes
I pre-ordered Portal 2, MW3, Slender: The Arrival (lol).
Preordered The Orange Box. Told College I was on holiday, that sure was a fun day. Borderlands 2 and Mass Effect 3 as well.
I also pre purchased Torchlight 2 and got Torchlight 1 free. So that was a nice deal.
A few times from developers I trust. Haven't been burned yet.
Forza Horizon and Portal 2. I think Skate 3 aswell. Oh and Black Ops. What a stupid idea that was because I wasn't really into CoD anymore. I thought it could boost up my trust with it but it did not meet that expectation.
The Orange Box, Armored Core V, CoD: Black Ops, Left 4 Dead, Portal 2...
That's all I can think of at the moment.
Games that I'm really waiting for and want to play the first moment I can. Like Half-Life series, portal, new major GTA's, etc.
I still haven't picked up my pre-order of Fable 2.
Yes, i preordered several. Either because i really want the game or because of TF2 promo items lol.
The only thing that I can remember pre-ordering was Halo 2, although that was so long ago that it was actually my dad that pre-ordered it for me.
I pre-ordered The Witcher 2, I felt that CDPR could be trusted to deliver and they most certainly did.
Otherwise I typically avoid pre-ordering. I don't tend to buy games any more outside of Steam sales (minuscule investments) but when I do I try to make damn sure it's a good game.
Portal 2, Poker Night 2, Minecraft and Kerbal Space Program if it counts.
Episode One and Two, Portal One and Two, TF2, Crysis 2 (regretted that one), STALKER: Call of Pripyat, probably a few more
The first game I ever pre-ordered was Modern Warfare 2.. haven't pre-ordered anything else since.
Portal, since I've bought mw2 for the xbox360 for 60€ im very sceptical about spending more than 40€ on video games.
Portal 2, Battlefield 3, Mass Effect 3, Bioshock Infinite, Arma 3, etc.
I preorder a lot, most games have not disappointed.
I pre-ordered Left 4 Dead, Batman: Arkham City, and Skyrim to my recent memory. I don't really regret any, though Skyrim did die a little quick for me.
