The wonderful temptation of pre-ordering games online is an excellent venus fly tray I’ve avoided for years. Gamers are baited with extra goodies for parting with their cash as an early adopter of the title.
As a rule, I never do this but for FarCry 5 I’ll make an exception rather than a habit of it.
Streamers, however, are pulled into this to boost their viewing and subscriber numbers and people naturally want to see the actual gameplay before diving in. I didn’t catch a Beta for FarCry 5 but already had some hands-on gameplay at a Gaming conference late last year; the look and feel is awesome.
Of course, the pre-order options are more attractive for the digital version so you are literally playing on Hour One of the new release. Predictably, the very same title will be available for 30-40% lower a few months later.
