Great, the game has been dispatched and I've got the Pre-Order code from Amazon.

Ugh just been watching my Amazon order all day, it went from Preordered to Shipping soon, to preparing for shipment back to Preordered.
 
The beauty of digital preordering is that patches ect... are installed, the game is installed and now all you have to do is select start. Those who get the physical release will get home and have to wait on an install and 2 patches.

The beauty of physical is that we get nice-looking shit with ours, so I could care less about having to install patches.
 
My copy from Amazon.ca is being shipped today, but arriving by 8 PM tomorrow

Is there any way I can ambush the delivery guy sooner?

Generally, the only way is to change delivery options online. For UPS for example you can change the delivery options online so you can pick it up at a UPS store, but that causes a one day delay. You can try to call them and ask them to hold it for pick up before or afterit goes on truck for delivery, but I don't know if that would delay it a day as well.
 
I wonder if IGN is feeling the heat from their "initial" review and their 8.8 score, sticking out like a sore thumb now, wouldn't surprise me if they bump it up to a 9.0.
 
To all you people with Amazon Prime who aren't going to get your game on time: Don't lay down for Amazon. It's not your problem that they can't fulfill their obligations. Call customer service, tell them it's unacceptable, and get compensated. It's that simple. They fucked up, they broke their end of the agreement, make them pay.

The very least you'll get is a free $10 credit, and in some cases, they'll give you the digital copy for free. But only if you speak up.
 
It's nice to know Amazon finally shipped my package.
At like 16.30 too. If they picked Royal Mail, chance so of it arriving tomorrow are slim.
Ah well, I'll get another month of prime then.
 
I'd give it a ten out of ten! Playing a game without needless crafting, leveling, just pure gameplay, it's such a relief. The steatlh is so good, being able to avoid a complete huge set piece battle by being sneaky is so rewarding.
I got some footage of using stealth to avoid a huge battle, slight location spoilers, but no story stuff or anything.

Skip to 30:11 if it doesn't take you there.
 
Hey Karak, just watched your review. Fantastic work as usual. Loved the "murder grass" quip lol. For those that missed it, here's the video review.

ACG | Uncharted 4 review

Thanks Nib glad you liked it. I know I am not for everyone but appreciate your honesty both positive and negative in the past about them.

While I am not in love with its being passive, thats for another discussion, the addition of it really does level out the gameplay. As I stated in my review all the changes means this Uncharted finally feels right to me with enough breadth and choice to the levels now that it feels like we are actually exploring where in the past many times we sort of were shown exploring. Small difference but a huge impact to me on the gameplay.

Yup, whenever my launch PS4 was late I got 20% back on the price. They charged me for the bundle, still no shipping notification, though.
 
Multiplayer feels terrible right now. People are teleporting everywhere. Also the down system continues to be stupid in uncharted, there is literally zero players looking to revive so it's just a boring 10 seconds or pointless button prompt until you can actually die.

Best score in the series imo. Manages to not constantly blow its load with nates theme every half hour making way for a more varied and subtle score.

Im guessing the MP teleporting is because the player count is very small and from all over the world.

I like the revive/down system a lot. It feels incredibly rewarding and strategic when you have a team that knows what to do.
 
Wow, so when you die in multiplayer you leave behind treasure that either team can pick up. So when you're bleeding out, your teammates wait for you to die so they can pick up the treasure.
 
Im not gonna buy this but i want to watch a livestreamer play it, does anyone have any suggestions for someone who is likely to play it in longish bursts, doesnt stop every 5 minutes for 10 mins of sub thanking or has a huge number of overlays/overbearing personality?
 
Just got my shipped notification, should be here tomorrow night. Looks like rain tomorrow so won't need to do anything but go home and play.
 
Wut? You're gonna keep all three of them?
na. the Ps4 bundle is a gift, I'm gonna get rid of the steelbook case that comes with the collector's edition, and I'm most concerned right now about the original arriving.
If you've been charged, then it is at least in 'preparing for shipment' status.

Contacting Amazon if you're worried about it is probably better than posting in the review thread.
I came in to work late today so unfortunately for me I don't have time to call them, but hopefully it just goes through by today. If not, I'll call them first thing fucking tomorrow.

Should they care about heat? Yes there have been fanboys attacking the reviewer, a lot of it misogynistic due to her being female...with really ridiculous and gendered comments related to kitchens and doing stuff in them. There's no point in caring about that
 
Umm... That's unacceptable, unless you ordered today.

Ordered last week..also took a screen shot to make sure I get the extra pre order bonuses. Once I ordered a game and they didnt include any of the pre order bonuses since they said I had no proof of it, this time I do..should I contact them about changing the shipping option, I dont want to pay extra for shipping
Edit: Cant change shipping since it says its shipping today, only gives me an option for canceling the order and tracking it(Even though it has not shipped yet) says expected to ship on May 10th
 
Amazon order in transit now and moved up to Wednesday instead of Thursday. Still not good enough, I'll drive and intercept this shit if I have to. I want this baby by midnight.

Edit: What if I hijack the delivery truck for my own paid copy? Lmfao.

that's fucked up. it's one thing to be a fanboy passionate about a certain product but if you don't like a review, like, criticism someone says about it why make it personal?
 
AH FECK! Those damn Asians and their circle/cross swap around.

Uncharted HK version suffers from this :'(

Phew. For anyone else who goes HK route it's okay, once you're in game controls are the same as they are for everyone else. It's just the main menu and pause menu navigation that is switched. No need to turn on PS4 controller remapping (Sony should do per game profiles for this at some point...).

Their chat support is fantastic. It's all I've ever used recently and it has worked great.

Fuck. Hope it gets better in a couple of days.

Really really really hoping I'll like the multiplayer.
 
Anybody playing the mobile game? I finished all the available puzzles and got all the keys. Got 6000 relics to use right off and 8 or more of each booster plus the 2 camps and the casual drake and newsboy hats... sad we can't get France sully or the top hat yet...
 
The current opinion is reflected in the Nathan Drake Collection.

No it isn't, because the Nathan Drake collection gets a lot of criticism related to the removed multiplayer and also, reviewers do not isolate each individual game in the collection.

It also loses marks for being a rerelease. It's reviewed as a re-release, not as if it just released now, for the first time, so it's really, completely different to how say, it would be viewed if it were its first outing, but in 2016.
 
LOL. Sorry for laughing. Must pulling your hair out.

Yes basically! Especially since a friend on the other side of town preordered on Friday, is also prime, and also did the same free two day shipping sped and his copy is in town out for delivery as I type this. I preordered back in September, does Amazon not prioritize preorders in order by date?
