Pre-Order or not to Pre-Order

This isn't an EA game, of course you should pre-order.

 

Seems about right.

 

Well yea EA hasn't being doing so well i only hope that they get there act together and maybe rethink some of there ideas because at the end of the day it is only really hurting us as they do push out good game but i feel they are trying to be too much of a business to the point they will sacrifice parts of the game to make more of a profit.

 

i very much want to pre order, but i cant cause my mother cant pay in dolars, if the pre order was on steam i could pay with my country currency

 

If you are this torn over whether or not to spend $15 bucks, then videogames probably aren't for you. I mean, this is an indie game. You can choose how little or how much you pay to a degree, as opposed to AAA games where it is locked at $69.99 or you have to wait a year to get it used. I preordered because I think the game looks pretty fucking good, and I really like the ideas that they are throwing around. If you have any doubt in your mind, then that is how that plays out. Its your money, so just sit back and relax and get comfortable, because noone is forcing you to do... Well... Anything with it. Take your time.

 

Thats a great way on looking at it after all as you stated it is a choice and only you can make that choice but i always like knowing what other people think hence the existents of this thread.

 

For Minecraft, it was $10 in Alpha, and now it's $30. I expect somewhat the same for this game, so you should buy it while its less.

 

Considering that I Pre-ordered the game like 5 times already, I would have to say Yes, it's totally worth it.

 

Did they really not just give the game to you? "YEAH, YOU WORK FOR US, BUT TOUGH SHIT, ITS NOT A FREE RIDE, BUCKO" ahahahah.

 

Pre-order of course !
Also, thank you for videos

 

Do it! I'm waiting to be paid so then I can- interesting video too thanks for posting it

 

There are many aspects that a pre-order gives to the devs that your standard purchase at launch does not. Among the simplest, the devs are getting more money to help support themselves and speed up the development. Also, because we're paying them now, as opposed to later on when it is fully released/Beta, the money itself is worth more now than it is then due to inflation.

The other aspect to pre-ordering is that the company gains confidence in the product they are making, and will be a huge morale boost to the staff. It also shows off in the marketting department, as they can visibly show that there is good interest in the game even though it's not out.

So yes, please pre-order . The game's easily worth $15 (or if you have 3 friends, $11), and more, if you're able to donate further.

 

Starbound is definitely a game to preorder. You get the starbound soundtrack, beta, and full game, and for a cheaper cost than if the game was out.

 

indeed, wish i could pre order

 

If you are ready to listen to this fine young man for 20 min
Then you can!

 

the problem is i can only buy the game when it arrives at steam

 

If the game was like 60 dollars or something like that, I'd say wait before you pre-order. But seeing as its only 15, I think that's a really good price.

 

Nice video but I feel that projects like these should be fully supported. I mean think about it, surely you've pre-ordered a game before that was less promising than this and for a much higher price. And I don't think anybody expects the beta to have full content or be bug free. It's a nice bonus for pre-ordering. In fact I don't think there's any reason why anybody interested in this project wouldn't pre-order (unless they don't have the money to do so for whatever reason).

 

Definitely pre-order. You get access to the beta, which means you can have a voice in the future development of the game.

 

Pre-order :

• Take risk with less payment.
• Youre supporting the game production before its released as sign to developers they are doing something people like.
• You can always donate to the Starbound crew when games released if feel you didin't give them enough support.

Release :

• Less risk, yet pay more for something you would gotten cheaper.
• You get to see video reviews/blogs/gossip about how did the game meet expectations of the audience.

Those are only tiny portition affecting whole pre-order/release concept. These can be argued over if they are true or not, only my quick thoughs about the matter.
Im sure one wouldn't be here posting if one weren't intrested of the game.

Nice review overall, its good to see people doing these.
