@KratosMD That's unfortunate. The very purpose of pre-order is to ensure you get the game at release and avoid the pitfalls of release day shortages. I have good luck with preorders usually.

@KratosMD I usually buy my games from an actual "brick-and-mortar" store rather than online, but have had no problem with preordering online a few times as well. Sometimes online saves a little money. I had usually shopped around for who offered the best preorder bonus, but lately it seems that those bonuses are standardized across all retailers (ex. UC:LL where everyone got Jak & Daxter)
I guess as archaic as it is becoming, I actually enjoy walking into a store and browsing the games, soaking in all the adverstisements, chatting with the workers for a few minutes about games and comparing notes, and then leaving with game in-hand. And actually I often just go to the game store or electronics store just to look around with no intention to buy, perhaps hoping maybe to stumble upon a sale or see something that catches my eye.

@andreoni79 I did the same a week or two ago! What is your opinion on it?
I always liked the game world and gameplay, but I was ultimately a bit disappointed in how long the loading/saving times were in this Definitive Edition. You'd expect that on a PS4 (Pro even), they'd shorten those. I found it made the whole game a lot more cumbersome.
(By the way: I hate it when they call those packages 'definitive'. You just know someone's going to remaster this game again somewhere in the future.)
@Kidfried Talking about loading times I must say I add to close the game once because it entered in a loading-forever loop, but that was my first and only trouble; otherwise it's a matter of 10/15 seconds. I'm playing it at Hard with no HUD and that helps because even if I remember most of the areas, I sometimes get lost in Dunwall and exploring it it's always a joy.
Graphics are still sexy thanks to the art style and it's a shame they didn't add anything new (lights, shadows, particles effects) since they locked it at 30fps.
I picked up Infamous Second Son after missing it in PS Plus and Final Fantasy Type-0 HD. $25 total, so I didn't break any banks.

Took advantage of the VR sale and bought:
Pinball FX2 VR with the season 1 and Walking Dead add ons
Mortal Blitz
Here They Lie
I Expect You To Die
Volume
Apollo 11 VR
Statik
There were a bunch more that I wanted but these already cost me over $70 even on sale.
After finishing The Evil Within 2 I'm still in the mood for some survival horror so I got Resi Revelations in the Halloween sale just now. Looking forward to getting my Jill on.
@KratosMD Been thinking of getting it myself as well, but with me just picking up Super Mario Odyssey and then CoD: WWII here in a few days I don't know when I would have the time to play it.

Just pre-ordered HZD DLC. Given the quality of the first game and the minor price promotion, thought it was worthy of a pre-order. Comes out on the 7th but not sure if I'll get to it in time - I have been neglecting Wolfenstein 2 to play Super Mario Odyssey. Might try and power through my first Wolfenstein play through to make some room.
Now I may be an idiot, but there's one thing I am not sir, and that sir, is an idiot
Call of Duty: WWII — This is the game I was most hyped for this year, still though with great games like Mario Odyssey, MLB The Show 17, Shadows of War and now CoD: WWII it's going to be hard for me to choose my top game this year.
