Ok, having an awesome time with the game now. Just completed the first dungeon and boss, tons of fun! Also just created my first character, a zombie hand sticking out of a mud pile in the ground, and when he attacks the torso of a zombie leaps up with his arms out! Raaa!

Wow, that's brilliant! You should enter that contest thingy.

I'm going with the Cube of Meat myself.

My copy has been dispatched. I went with the cheapo free shipping but if Amazon is as cool as they were when Demon's Souls dropped (this, meaning if there's a distributor close by), I should still have it by weekend.

Mine's coming from Amazon. I suppose I'll have it tonight or tomorrow.
Still think it might have been a mistake to order it, however. :/

Hoping my EB has enough copies today. Didn't preorder and this doesn't seem like the type of game that would have large numbers of shipped copies.

Unless it becomes a cult/Demon's Souls following, it's why I pre-ordered.

Oh, yeah, and Atlus: Which generally doesn't print more than a few thousand copies for pre-orders. :lol

That's a cool avatar! What's it from?

EDIT: Oh, it changed in the time it took me to post. I was referring to the black-haired cartoon lady.

I should be picking up my copy today (in Toronto), and putting a preorder down on Red Dead.

Alright, so I guess a few of you got your hands on the game, and I'm targeting those of you that also played the JP version.

As you know, the JP version got 4 pieces of DLC - Vol. 1, Vol. 2, Vol. 3 and Vol. 4. Each has multiple pieces of content such as minigames/expansions to minigames, the "classic dungeon", etc.
I know some of them are, but I heard not all of them all. And I believe the "classic dungeon" may not be on it.

So, I want to know how much of this is on the disc on the US version.

Here's a handy list of what's included on-disc on the US version that I know of (and don't know of):

  • JP software update that included install option, load screen gallery, etc. - YES
  • DLC Vol. 1 - ???
  • DLC Vol. 2 - ???
  • DLC Vol. 3 - ???
  • DLC Vol. 4 - ???
  • Pre-made custom characters that were either JP custom downloads or are new from Atlus - YES
  • From Software preorder bonus disc content that included a batch of pre-made characters, such as From Software's Link design - ???
  • Ability to download and use custom character files from the JP version - ???

You would think at least ONE of the reviews out there would've mentioned what's in the US release...guess we wait and see.

Most of the US reviewers don't even have much prior knowledge of the game besides Atlus' teasers, and more than likely no idea there was even DLC for the JP version.
What most of them do know how to do however, is point out "flaws" and nitpick.

Isn't that their job? I don't know about you, but I enjoy reading a review where they nitpick. I want to know every flaw and then I can decide for myself whether or not it is a big deal to me.

I've noticed mention New Game + in the US version, but I don't remember hearing about that when the JP version released. Was it a part of one of the DLC packs?

Just one more thing to add to your list of clarifications.

Just called gamestop, and my pre-order is in and I'll be picking it up soon. Anyone know where I can find some characters from the JP version? I can try loading them up and see if they work.

I haven't made a "Day One" game purchase in a long time, but... today is the day I should theoretically be able to pick this up in stores? Correct?

Got my call last nite, and i just called my GS....they got their shipment and aside from preorders, they only got 2 extra copies. If you didnt preorder, and want this, you might want to hurry and make sure you get your copy.

Played up until after the first dungeon, this looks stunning. I love all the references to retro games, especially that blue Dragon Quest slime in the village :lol

I'll be getting my US copy tomorrow, so I'll check that out too. Don't know if JP ver had NG+ since I only got up to the last dungeon before deciding I'd make my "master file" on the US version.
And no, I don't think a NG+ option was part of one of the DLC packs.

Oh, and the trophy list is the same as the JP version, obviously. Don't know why some people are confused.

Anyway as more people get the US version I'd like to confirm what pieces of DLC from the JP version are in, and what aren't.
I'm just getting a little afraid that if something isn't in (like the rumored classic dungeon DLC), Atlus I believe stated there won't be DLC for the US version.
Hope I'm wrong. In addition to the missed DLC from the JP version, they could also put up (free) custom character packs on the PS Store.

Aww... That kinda killed my interest to be honest. Not day one at least.

What? To think even GAFers are still reliant on reviews and impressions to decide if they buy it or not...make up your own mind. Don't be so naive.

(and seriously, screw Eurogamer and their pessimistic, soulless, robotic observations on almost everything)
