unless it comes wit some sort of bonus. I live in NYC and there are hundreds of places that sells games days before their release dates

JelalTrueshot6218d ago

Its true and not to knock on my own submission, but they could have done so much more with that action figure.

pixelsword6218d ago

Other than that, there's not really an advantage for ordering early; as there hasn't been a title shortage this gen as far as I know.

-EvoAnubis-6218d ago

You have a M-rated (17 and up) violent action game, and you want to have a damned action figure as a pre-order bonus? Someone didn't think this through.

JelalTrueshot6218d ago

True, and if they were going to have an action figure, make it a good one at least. Why choose the boring human-looking guy and not one of those crazy creatures seen in trailers?

Sky Zero6218d ago (Edited 6218d ago )

At least there giving away something for Pre Ordering.

I rather an Action Figure then a piece of paper with a code on it I can't use until a month later.

They don't have to do this it's just one small part of marketing.

And my Vault Tec Bobble Head was the BEST Pre Order figure ever. And Fallout3 is mature right?

ThePoorman6218d ago

I appreciate getting the extra goodie too. The figure is not the coolest I have ever seen but I will take anything extra the game companies want to send me.

-EvoAnubis-6218d ago

The F3 bobble head was a direct reference to items that actually appeared in the game. Unless you mean to tell me that Alex in Prototype has a side mission to collect action figures of different characters in the game for in-game bonuses, then I'm not seeing your point.

sonarus6218d ago

Metal gear had action figures and so did resistance. Age has nothing to do with action figures imo its just a collectible item. That being said i have never pre ordered a game for an action figure. But i did pre order ninja gaiden for a shirt

Cajun Chicken6218d ago

SmokeyMcBear6218d ago

Ranking The Coldest, Most Ruthless Protagonists In Gaming

Not all video game protagonists are sweet, jolly, or wholesome. Folks like Agent 47 are cold, ruthless, and reserved and it shows.

cloganart668d ago

I'd like to believe Joel's situation is more about turning into a calloused survivor in a cold-hard world who may have made selfish decisions. Not inherently ruthless.

Armyofdarkness669d ago

Ah, fond memories of strangling all the people in their hotel rooms in Hitman 1

bunt-custardly669d ago

Lara Croft, Nathan Drake etc, cos they pretend to be the good guys but are mass murderers that show no remorse.

6 Fun Games Where You Actually Play As The Bad Guy

While the mainstream media always sees things turning in favor of the hero, here are 6 games that own being a bad guy.

Profchaos750d ago

Pretty much all of these games listed are based around a morality system you don't have to be bad and you don't have to be good.

It seems to have left out some real amazing games like red dead redemption 1/2,ass effect and true crime la/ny

Tacoboto750d ago

Armored Core VI?

Ok, I'm really missing something here. Just beat chapter 3 earlier this evening, unlocked A-rank Arena fights. I'm not seeing or sensing any branching paths or morality system and I've done every side mission and arena fight available to me up to that fight.

Is something big coming soon to branch the story?

banger88750d ago

No mention of Grand Theft Auto? Saints Row (original trilogy), Manhunt? Also The Suffering (depending on the ending you get).

ChasterMies750d ago

Trevor in GTA 6 is a sadist and psychopath who dabbles in cannibalism. Should be top of the list. These game “news” sites should hire people that know games.
