[Rlight]

This was the most addictive game I've ever played. I hope they kept the simple charm of the original

 

[LakeEarth]

Yeah I'm not really getting the need to pre-load such a small game. But really excited that its coming.

I'm guessing since you can pre-order it, there's no chance of a launch PS+ discount like some digital games get.

[Steverulez]

$15... or £14! What a joke. (XB1 version, not sure about the PS4 version price)

 

[Peltz]

This series is perfection thus far. I hope this entry lives up to the series' name.

 

[LakeEarth]

The, uh, "exclusive" bonus levels (One level from the PS4 ver. and the other from Xbox One ver.):

I didn't realize those were pre-order bonuses, I thought they were just platform exclusives. Makes sense then. Serves me right for not clicking the link.

 

[Thabass]

$15... or £14! What a joke. (XB1 version, not sure about the PS4 version price)

You're right. It should be more.

 

[TimeEffect]

I was super excited until fans started crapping on it for feeling like a knock off. Now I'm just waiting for early reviews. They still have the classic mode, though it has the weird 3D effect, despite being 2D.

I hope they at least keep the classic mode properly intact.

 

[JayEH]

Why is it unlocking at 7PM EST? Weird.

Edit: And you can start playing at 7PM EST for Xbone but 12AM EST for PS4. What the hell is going on? lol

 

[chubigans]

I would definitely wait on preordering this. I have yet to hear a single positive impression from anyone who's played this at PAX.

 

[nextgeneration]

Day one!!!!

I would definitely wait on preordering this. I have yet to hear a single positive impression from anyone who's played this at PAX.

Yikes, maybe not. That sux to hear.

 

[Yaranaika]

150MB preload...

Lol, why even bother?

 

[fernoca]

Preordered last week on PS4.
Game's 152MB.

Thanks for the warning. I don't want to repeat the same mistake I made when I bought the Mutant Storm sequel sight unseen. It just wasn't the same.

It LOOKS so good though.

 

[MrDanger88]

Played the original, 2 and Galaxies all to death, definitely preordered this

 

[Struct09]

Way less excited for this after playing it at PAX

 

[U2NUMB]

Why the hell does the x1 game unlock so late in the day? We need to fire off some tweets to find out why...

 

[chubigans]

GiantBomb talked about it off hand like it was one of their biggest disappointments of PAX, and I know a few GAFfers chimed in on the last GW3 thread we had. Anyone else been able to demo the game?

Way less excited for this after playing it at PAX

More details?

 

[Derpyduck]

I pre-ordered this last week on PS4 when my 15 dollar credit from the October promotion arrived. Really looking forward to this.

 

[Struct09]

More details?

It didn't feel much like GW. The things they added (like spherical worlds) didn't serve to improve the experience, they just made it more frustrating. Granted my impressions are based off of 15 minutes of playtime, but being a huge fan of the original two games my short time with this one really dampened my hype.

 

[BobTheFork]

Never played the first two. I'll probably have to buy this and see.

 

[Dynamite Shikoku]

Was the guy who created geometry wars even involved in this? Looks off

 

[Bgamer90]

I would definitely wait on preordering this. I have yet to hear a single positive impression from anyone who's played this at PAX.

Actual gameplay or simply due to it being different from the first two games?

I already pre-loaded it for free from the money I got back from XBL rewards.

 

[Petrae]

Withholding content to promote preorders on digital games is a surefire way to get me to pass on your offering.

It's bad enough that we see this crap with physical games, but at least there's an incentive reason to promote consumers to buy new. Digital games don't need this.

 

[VincentMatts]

Hmm, i was under the impression that this franchise is owned by MS, wasnt it in PGR? Im confused.

 

[LeonSPBR]

Also for last gen too... show some love for last gen OP.

 

[Jarrod38]

Really like Geometry Wars 2 but I don't know just looks like too much stuff going on at once for me now. Hope we get a demo.

 

[ThatsMytrunks]

Bought it on Steam. Didn't realize it was releasing on Steam. Can't wait!

I'm out.

Yeah I'm not really getting the need to pre-load such a small game. But really excited that its coming.

Gotta get those purchases locked in before the reviews hit!

 

[MilesTeg]

It's available for pre-order on the PS3 too, saw it on the store yesterday.

 

[G_Berry]

Does it have all the cool leader board tracking of the old games? Because ill get it on the bone if so (bigger friends list on there)

More details?

The Pax demo I played was "good" but was so different of a game from what we are all used to that it was bound to disappoint. I'm going to wait on playing modes and levels that are similar to what the original game had.

The worst thing I found in the PAX one was that there was a hitch in the controls when going around a part of the peanut.

 

[Iced_Eagle]

I would definitely wait on preordering this. I have yet to hear a single positive impression from anyone who's played this at PAX.

Yeah, this is definitely one where I'll be waiting on the sidelines.

Reviews and Gaf impressions go over well, I'll bite. I absolutely loved Geometry Wars so I'm hoping the game turns out well.

 

[toythatkills]

The thing that really killed the hype for me was a developer interview on Youtube a few months back. Basically they were running through some new features, and they were all introduced with the line "this is something the fans have been asking for."

"So we've put boss fights in, this is something fans have been asking for."

Fuck off. Idiots on the internet are the last people you should be listening to when the previous entry in your series has a metacritic of 90 and so clearly already works. You're the developer, trust your own ability to design a game or maybe consider a career change. The game wasn't broken and didn't need fixing with things like fucking boss fights. It's Geometry Wars.

So yeah, hype level has been at zero for a while.

 

[xplicitone]

Ehhh. So many negative comments about the game. it's just 1 exclusive thing per, which I agree I hate it and wish they didn't have it, but I loved the series so much so I'm super stoked! Can't really go too wrong with this formula.

 

[klodeckel]

Pre-Loaded on XBO Thanks.

aaaand I'm waiting for a sale.

Don't have the time or patience to deal with the cognitive cost of having yet another incomplete product at the time.

 

[Miles Quaritch]

Exclusive content for both PS4 and X1?

Well that's cemented my never buying this.

 

[Anion]

I wish this was a teaser for PGR5 ;,,,)

Nonetheless, looks fun

Pretty much. I never once thought that boss battles would make GeoWars better and I certainly don't know anyone who loves GeoWars who thought they would make it better either.

BS spewed by the devs to try and justify their not fully understanding why people loved GeoWars as much as they did.

aaaand I'm waiting for a sale.

Don't have the time or patience to deal with the cognitive cost of having yet another incomplete product at the time.

My thoughts exactly, but I won't be buying it at all.

I'd pay $30 for the new one if it included the originals too.

 

[Xone9]

just pre-ordered and pre-loaded..

one of the greatest day one games ever (xbox 360 version)

love me some GW3!

co-op should be fun

 

[Hawaii Jeff]

It will be free with PS+ next year.

I can wait, or at least until it's on sale.
