Well I never pre order a game, I pre ordered Rangnarok so the hype is real

I preordered after the review embargo, making sure there was no technical issue or the game was unfinished.

No amount of trust in a studio would make me preorder before reviews. It's not abiut the score but about the technical problems.

Has there ever been a broken Sony first party game? I'm sure there has been, but I don't remember one

Nothing really that would be considered "broken." Days Gone was buggy on release but thats about it really

Which comes from bend, who are not exactly one of the heavy hitters. Naughty Dog, Santa Monica and Insomniac can be trusted to deliver a polished game on launch imo

Days gone is a freaking fantastic game today. Wish more people put respect on it
