  I remember pre-ordering Borderlands 2. You got 4 golden guns (a pistol, smg, sniper, and I think a shotgun). The problem was that the guns were so weak that they were outclassed about 5 minutes into the game by practically any drop. There's no transmute option either so you can't keep the cool golden skins. At least we got Gaige the Mechromancer with it.

  <i>Xenoblade Chronicles X</i> came with the game&apos;s soundtrack on a cheap 1gb USB stick. What nobody anywhere said about this stick was that it would, on first run, unleash a DRM payload which would fuck up any network shared drive access using Windows Group Policies, effectively preventing you from accessing your existing shares or creating new ones. It didn&apos;t just lock down the USB stick behind some abstraction layer, it locked everything that wasn&apos;t connected directly via SATA or NVME. This is doubly damning when you consider that the Windows Group Policy editor is not included with &quot;home&quot; versions of Windows licenses, so those people affected have to actually dig through the registry and get acquainted with the commandline real quick.<br><br>Oh, AND it didn&apos;t actually prevent you from copying over the MP3 files to literally anywhere and play them on literally anything!

  Getting the Suicide Squad clip to start with &quot;We trusted you&quot; was a good move.

  For No Man’s Sky, the pre-order shop was not supposed to have advantages. The devs were responsive to players specifically being vocal about not getting a bunch of advantages. <br><br>In launch though, using the pre-order ship would break the tutorial and not let you advance in the story because you still had to complete the “fix the hyperdrive” quest. That was the bad part.

  I appreciate most preorder items state that most items are available ‘later’ in the game. Saves spending that additional cash. Off-cam-Andy was our pre order bonus

  The funny thing is about the Pokemon preorders, is those items were everywhere. <br>I had more potions than I knew what to do with by the end of the game. It’s not like Legends where you could use them to craft better potions.

  It&apos;s almost like making studios who usually work on single-player adventures to make a live service game is a bad idea!

  Mike&apos;s customized Pikachu voice was my favorite part of this video.

  I&apos;d like to think that Jane&apos;s notes are just pages of just &quot;Get Andy first&quot;

  Jane is laughing now, but we all know she&apos;s getting Andy first as soon as the cameras stop rolling...

  I remember hearing about Fallout 76 not giving people who pre-ordered a canvas bag that was advertised. They gave a refund in the atomic shop that was so low you couldn&apos;t afford the one skin that did have a canvas bag.
