Hi everybody! So I'm really considering pre-ordering DNF, and I wanted to know if there's anything at all special about the pre-ordered game? Any goodies?
How many of you all have pre-ordered the game?

[kaisersoze]

Pre-ordered it when Gamestop offered the free overnight shipping on it. Sometimes you do get pre-order bonuses(I guess the free overnight shipping was the deal with mine).

[Honza]

As I'm from Europe I'l wait for Steam preorder option. (Considering that demo is good enough.)

Naah, if this game comes out, It will be one of the few games that I want in a box.
That's the only way I will fully realize it's finally in my hands!
I want a box with DNF on it in my shelf, to keep there and look at 50 years from now!

[DI-MeisterM]

No, I order only a game when I tried it before. With DNF it won't be any different.

[LkMax]

Of course not!! Pre-order DNF? Are you crazy? I'll buy it only "when it's done".

I couldn't agree more. I like to wait for big discounts on Steam to get some games there, but other games I prefer to have in box, and DNF is one of them for sure.

Quite funny to read a line from somebody that has a Daikatana fansite in his signature.
Double standards much?

Because you don't tell me you actually tried Daikatana demo and enjoyed it:P

[Master Fibbles]

Daikatana isn't that bad.

I don't generally pre-order things because I don't like spending money on something I may not get for a while. I'm not pre-ordering DNF because I want to know that they finish it and release it before I drop any coin on it.

Now, the curious thing is: are any of those pre-orders from the last 2 decades still valid and will they be satisfied?

I participated very well the Daikatana Deathmatch Demo on Mplayer, several months before the Single/Multiplayer Demo and the final version arrived.

And yes, for me it's still the most competitive multiplayer game which is out. That was the main reason I bought the final version aswell.

Wow , time really heals every wound i guess!

Never thought i would hear that phrase! Whatever floats your boat. Sorry for the OT

EDIT: Well meister you sure are quite peculiar, i think probably you won't like DNF:p as it looks like a quality game you know.

Hehe if DNF ever comes out I'll see. At least Daikatana has more than two weapons at once

[High Treason]

I have not pre-ordered it and have no intention of buying the game unless I play the demo and like it.

[The Commander]

[T-What]

I never preorder anything until it has a release date... Or until they show the f'in trailer they refuse to show.

They won't show the trailer. That specific trailer was made by 3DR when all the game content was 3DR, yet Gearbox has clearly been replacing/updating the artwork, and the last thing Gearbox wants is to show people how far they've deviated from 3DR's vision.

I was so tempted to preorder when they offered free shipping, but I almost never spend money online so I'll hold off until it hits stores.

[Jeff]

Haven't yet. I figure since this is such a special game that I might wait for the Collector's Edition if they are releasing one.

[ferran275]

I'm waiting for announcement on a special edition, but come on people, do you really want to sit and WAIT for it to show up via UPS or FedEx or whatever when you can go to the store and stand and wait at midnight with all the other hardcore fans? I'm planning on having a HUGE release party at my house the day before, just a big ass PARTY, taking the week off of work, then the next night, we're all gonna go stand outside GameStop together at midnight, singing kumbaya's and beating up the homeless until GameStop let's us in! IT'S GOING TO BE AMAZING!!!!!

a DNF release only happens once every few million years, why sit in your undies staring out the window waiting ALONE when you can have some fun with it is all I'm saying.

didn't Randy mention that he didn't want the game streaming on services like Steam? not sure but I have a recollection of that being said somewhere.

[MrBlackCat]

If they are going to offer the game in a Big Box, that is what I will get... A big box would fit in great with my PC game collection.

MrBlackCat

[Frost Nukem]

Yes ! and only if I can have the box version (and not the dvd package) I prefer the good old style box

I've that feeling too as you said it... However it would be quite a bad idea though.. I'm sick and tired of installs from DVD.

Not really. He said he didn't like steam or GFW exclusive multiplayer. But Steam doesn't enforce that so I don't see a problem here.

[Sharpie]

Waiting for some sort of uber mega ultimate edition to be announced. Then I will pre-order that edition.

This is the only game I will ever wait for at a midnight launch.

[Splat]

Nah, no pre-order.. I'm recieving a copy signed by George Broussard. He's the badass mastermind of this game.. No other signature will do.
