Subject: pre-order bonus, exclusive guns,characters,and recharging equipment

what do you think the pre-order bonus will be, better yet what do you WANT it to be?:)

I think it would be pretty cool if you could play as The Chief :D

Nothing. NO -blam!- PREORDER BONUS.

I've already lost out multiple times despite preordering just because I live in Singapore. They've crossed the line when they took away my Blackhold gun for the upcoming ME2.

About my stand? Well ho ho ho, You're on a forum my friend. And I'm a member of it.

Sighs...

I just find the entire notion of Pre-order bonuses to be messed up. If you want to do it, do it right? I've preordered every game I think deserves being preordered and sometimes preordering is supposed to entail some bonuses.

But no. I live in Singapore and apparently that doesn't apply here. We play games too. No reason to exclude us from the equation.

For example, when ODST got announced, I waited. The moment after the E3 showing, I preordered the game. Supposed to get Johnson right?

Wrong. I don't because I live in Singapore.

If they want to do pre-order bonuses, make sure they do it right. Make it fair.

most people would hate singapore if bungie said"sorry we were gonna add a pre order bonus but since we were not able to send it to ALL pre orderers we just said forget the bonus."

By far the best way to elicit positive responses to your threads -- mindless flaming.

Good show.

Hmm, you know what's the think I'm sure you didn't think of? The content is done. Nobody's gonna hate on Singapore, or any other country, if they are not forced to pre-order for content that should already be in the box.

They worked hard on the content. What's the point on limiting it to pre-orders? And in the case of Sgt Johnson, fine, its a skin. Not that important for gameplay but its the principle behind it. But my greatest problem now is Mass Effect 2. You get an exclusive -blam!- weapon for pre-ordering. How's that fair?

The preorder bonus is usually something that is already on the game disc or should be and it's just retarded in my opinion that you have to preorder to get it.

Don't take life too seriously, no one gets out alive anyway.

Any game that gives a pre-order bonus such as exclusive guns,characters,and recharging equipment does not deserve one sale. Your taking away apart of what should be a []bfull[/b] game only giving it to those who can afford more or pre-order it before its out of stock. Basically,NO

  • 11.08.2009 2:30 AM PDT

If anything, I want a life size weapon from the game, because I'm a nerd like that.

I really hate this recent trend of, "Oh, you want the full experience? Well, you gotta pre-order." Yeah, full experience my ass.

Grr, pre-order bonuses, I mean it's alright if it's a cool skin or like something completely useless in the case of tactics like the ability to have your armour beam out light in all directions [which technically is a re-skin] but if it's something that can give you a tactical advantage over other players like a special weapon or vehicle or something like that then it's just stupid, how about bungie have the pre-order bonus of armour where, when you look at the detail on the character, which just repeatedly writes NERD on it... maybe even make it light up

  • 11.08.2009 3:37 AM PDT

I agree, nothing that isn't only looks.
Answering the thread, I think a nice bonus would be that every Assault Rifle you pick up in campaign should be matt black instead of silver-grey. Wouldn't change the AR at all apart from colour, of course.

  • 11.08.2009 4:25 AM PDT

Pre-order bonuses are extremely annoying. I hope Reach doesn't follow that troubled route.

None of that extra weapons -blam!-, that's just stupid in my opinion. Johnson was a good bonus in ODST, keep it at that level. People should be enjoying a game equally. Johnson was just a character model so he's no big deal.

Most pre-order in game bonuses are not part of the full experience of the game. If you look at a game like Scribblenauts your pre-order bonus was an irl hat that the main character wears. That's what a pre-order bonus should be. The Johnson bonus for ODST was nice too, because it's not game breaking at all and it's still a nice little incentive to buy the game. I've been pre-ordering my games for a very long time before this pre-order bonus craze hit the industry. If you're going to buy the game why not just pre-order it so that you know you'll have a copy on launch day? If you get something extra out of it, great. Most companies aren't stupid enough to put something game breaking as a pre-order bonus. Judging from Bungie and what they did for ODST, there's nothing to worry about when Reach comes around.
