Never ever ever buy a game until after reviews come out. It's not worth it. It doesn't matter if it's from a legendary game studio, they can find all of the developers, they could fire all of the managers, and still be called the same thing. The name is no guarantee of anything.

Pre-ordering games had a point back when they were mostly physical, because if you didn't, you ran the risk of them running out. Although I didn't pre-order GTA V, and just walked into a game store on the day of release and bought two copies, so since then I've rather been of the opinion that even with physical products, it's probably not very likely they're going to run out.

But now everything's digital there's 100% no reason to pre-order. Make them make the actual product they claimed to have made.
