> bonus if you pre-order
> bonus that you cannot ever get because you did not purchase the game before release

This made me stay away from RS2:Vietnam.
Why do companies do this?

I don't mind if the game gives unlocks or something that others can also get later on... but exclusive shit?
Fuck that.

What other games did this?
Did it affect your purchase?

> inb4 poor
I purchased RO1, RO2 and RS.

Well the way I see it, I'll never use them anyways because everyone has them
>>
>Why do companies do this?
so you fucking buy it
>>
>>379156012
But that's kinda my problem. Not everyone has them, or at least not me or my friends who wanted to buy this ... shit.

>>379156172
Uhm what?
That is why I won't buy it, because I won't get the same set of things that others have. While paying the same price. Makes 0 sense.
>>
>>379156407
pre ordering was actually cheaper in this case
>>
>>379156490
Well, even better.
> Pay more
> Get less

What a deal!

>>379155874
>They're literally just hats

Why does it matter?
>>
>the only exclusive thing you get from preordering is one EXTREMELY pathetic and shitty looking hat for each side
Ohhh noooo... how will you ever live without it...

This is just like TF2 where people were running around in the most boring and worst looking hats/unusuals just because they were worth more on the market.

>>379156407>>379156538
The real reason for pre-ordering is to secure the hardcore monies before the reviews and bad word-of-mouth hit.

Don't be salty about this process, every industry does it from Airlines to books because locking in your money early is a tangible business advantage.

Actually, the hats comes with camo which you won't get until you're level 20. Really useful since the default GI's helmet is brighter than the average FNG and easily picked off.
>>
>>379156538
Can you take a screenshot of the cosmetic screen? I leveled up at one point and after the game ended it showed that I unlocked some of the pre order bonuses I already have.

Could be wrong but maybe you can still unlock them.
>>
>>379155874
If hats are that important to you, I'm glad you didn't buy it. I don't want to have to put up with your whining for two rounds before you fuck off back to TF2 or counter strike.
>>
>>379155874
I thought you could unlock the preorder shit at level 35.

Regardless, you're autismo bro
>>
>>379156725
Nah I didn't buy the game.
Wanted to buy it with my group (we played RO1 together), but some dude had no money so we waited. Fuck us for wanting to pay I guess.
>>
>>379155874
youre like 15 years too late to be complaining about this
>>
>>379157094
can't really remember recent games that locked away content from people who didn't preorder

They also discounted it 25% for pre orders and had an open beta the week before it released.

If anything the company handled it correctly by only offering dinky cosmetics, which you can unlock the equivalent to in game.
