Exactly the game is probably good but not worth this price here in Canada with tax the final price is 103$ … I will not pay this price for that

In Canada this game should be FREE. Wolverine is a Canadian folk hero. They shouldn't need to spend any loonies on one of their own bub.

I'm not Canadian, but I support this.

It certainly seems the game is not "good" at all.

u/No-Construction1958 Sep 10 '26

From the reviews it doesn’t seem “bad” it look fun to play and story wise look interesting but from the content side of the game it doesn’t look good at all and not worth the high price unfortunately

I got it for 15 dollars less so about 80 bucks but even then I’m debating of cancelling my pre order. Might keep it because after I play single player games I always sell them and I’ll get the money back but I don’t know if it’ll be worth my time

u/No-Construction1958 Sep 10 '26

Honestly I’d wait a sale like in December or something probably will be 30% off at that price range I’d say it’s worth it but more than 70$ (in Canada) I wouldn’t pay that

Real talk? It’s brain chemistry man. You have to work at delayed gratification. I have/had to as well. “Patience is a virtue” isn’t just some cornball saying it seems.

I didn’t downvote you bud, and I get it. Nostalgia is just bait these days. It never guarantees that the modern day equivalent is going to be just as good. In my experience it very rarely is. Don’t sweat the small stuff though, and as the others said, you can always cancel that pre order and wait for a sale to save some money.

Pre-orders just don't make sense anymore. I used to do it before the online marketplace boom because there would be a finite number of games shipped to my location. But now it's quite literally an unlimited resource.

Man, I was just saying this to people who are preordering gta 6. I got attacked left and right just for saying there's no point in pre-ordering anymore. I know Rockstar is in a league of its own, but it still makes zero sense to preorder a digital video game. Preordering was meant to guarantee a physical copy in case they sold out, which was a common thing during the midnight release era. This literally doesn't happen anymore, but mfs still gleefully throw their money at corporations way before their digital product is even released.

Especially since there's usually still a window between reviews coming out and release where you can pre-order and get the main benefit of a digital pre-order - which is being able to preload and immediately play on launch. Digitally pre-ordering months in advance is just begging for trouble.

Especially since there's usually still a window between reviews coming out and release

And if there aren't reviews then we know what's up.

u/Mushroomer Sep 10 '26

Yep. Sometimes a late embargo can mean nothing - Doom 2016 infamously had a release date embargo despite being phenomenal - but often it's a red flag.

u/OGgluttonousToad Sep 10 '26

1 billion percent!!! This was also my only defense for preordering lol. I think it's fine after reviews are out, you know what the game is about, and you can pre-load it so it's ready to play the second it drops. This is typically a couple of days before release. Preordering months or even weeks in advance makes no sense

1

u/StrombergsWetUtopia Sep 10 '26

I totally agree with the sentiment. I’ve never pre ordered digital. Until gta6. Even if all the reviews said it was terrible I’d still buy it. I pre ordered just to get it out the way so I can play the game without the bitter taste of losing ninety quid fresh in my mouth.

u/ArrivalBrilliant616 Sep 10 '26

Well with GTA 6 you get preload and a shit ton of exclusive rewards. For the biggest entertainment product of all time, it's not a surprise people are pre-ordering.

u/BlastMyLoad Sep 10 '26

Ehhhh if you’re a physical only fan especially in Canada it can be worth it to preorder cuz a lot of games have very small print runs here. Onimusha for example is sold out absolutely everywhere. RE9 was almost impossible to find until a few months after launch

The secret is preorder, see reviews and if the game is bunk return it before opening.

u/Anubra_Khan Sep 10 '26

It makes sense to preorder if you're buying the game on day one. It actually doesn't make sense not to. Otherwise you're paying the same for less content.

u/Kratosballsweat Sep 10 '26

You can still cancel it you know

u/illjkinetic Sep 10 '26

Just cancel the pre order 🤷‍♂️

u/Marsupialize Sep 10 '26

Dude cancel it

5

u/Anubra_Khan Sep 10 '26

You can cancel Preorders. It's not a big deal.

u/YeaItsBig4L Sep 10 '26

Or how about you not take this strangers reaction to something you haven’t touched and try it yourself.

Someone with poor cognizance can still think for themselves. You just follow someone else’s thoughts. Literally no brain lol
