Dunno about GOW, Burning Shores and FF16. Hogwarts Legacy is slightly disappointing content-wise, from what I heard. Jedi Survivor was an unoptimised, unfinished mess on release and apparently still is. I wouldn't wanna pay 90CAD for crashing, stuttering game.
It's kinda the same reason people are careful with Kickstarter promises. They may not be fulfilled.
I definitely heard about some of the Jedi issues, but I had 1 crash in my entire 20+ hour fidelity play through. No hiccups, glitches, stutters or anything.
Al lot of what I heard was things like frame drops, but fidelity is capped at 30FPS, I much prefer to play a game at its best looking as I am some strange mutant of a creature that has absolutely no perception of frame rate.
I could not, and still cannot tell the difference between my 60 and 120hz iPhones. My 120hz Mac is connected to a 60hz external and I can see the difference in colours, but that’s about it.
I suppose it’s possible I may have had some of those issues and and was just completely oblivious to it.
Hogwarts I also quite enjoyed, some thing got a bit repetitive, but that had was less with the story and more with the trophies, and that’s a trophy side effect with many games, but I enjoyed it enough for it to be the first game I actually cared slough to platinum.
I’ve actually only ever backed 1 kickstarter and got the thing, but ya I’d probably never do it again. This was back way before they got the reputation of being a great way to pay for an illusion.

Don't pre-order. Ever.

Why? I’ve preordered all my recent games. Not getting this one, not a fan of the game style, I’ll play it when it’s either cheap or free.
I preorder GOW, Hogwarts Legacy, Jedi Survivor and Burning shores recently and enjoyed them all, got FF16 on PO now as well.

It's my money, and I want it NOW.

You can't have it now. They only take your money now. You get the game later. And you hope it'll be what they promised.
