As long as you don't:

1. Order their CEs (they have long lead times for some of these),
2. Purchase from outside of NA (they have rather high shipping fees for international customers)

Then it's mostly smooth sailing, with the exception of a few instances like the recent CD-R fiasco.

Ah, and yes, there's also the ideological issues that adamsapple mentioned in his reply in case you care about all that BS (I personally don't).

One thing they're doing better compared to previous years is their refund system. Well, you can actually cancel an order yourself and get refunded without the need to contact LRG at all!

One thing though I dislike is their obvious limited time to secure a copy. After that? You rely on a little handful of reseller. Then if you're unlucky enough like I've been with both Turok 1 & 2, well there's either eBay or Marketplace. Which are a bunch of bloodsucking leech. You want Turok boxed on Switch but you missed the train? 250$CAN minimum on eBay! YAY

And I'm talking about the normal edition. Now I can't wait to see the unreleased Shantae game when it releases. The gameboy advance cartridge from LRG? It's gonna sell for a thousand, mark my word.

 

[TVexperto]

any info on pricing?

 

[Morrie’s wig shop]

They will certainly change the look of the pig to make it more inclusive. Ubisoft, no thanks!

At least he’s already pink.

 

[Arsic]

Never played this. Will this work easy on steam deck I wonder?

 

[Quasicat]

I beat this on GameCube years ago and bought it on Xbox 360. I will probably just play the 360 version over paying full price for this again.

 

[Chuck Berry]

Back when this released, a few outlets coined it as "Zelda for adults"

All I remember is that it launched for cheap on GameCube and flopped bigtime.

I bought it day one for the original Xbox

The good ol Ubi days. Bought XIII day one too. And that "remaster" is straight garbagio

My hopes arent high for this one

 

[I Love Rock 'n' Roll]

It looks so bad in 2024!

 

[xrnzaaas]

I already own the PC and 360 version, I'm good, thanks.

 

[Darkmakaimura]

Hey that's the date I pick up my Ambien.

Anyways I have it on GOG so I'm good.

 

[Chuck Berry]

Any previews yet? This is really being sent to die huh? It even has a new minigame added that concludes with some sort of supposed connection to BG&E2. You'd think that alone would be giving it a little more of a push lol

Who here will guinea pig this romp?

 

[Krathoon]

It is already out now. Downloading it from Ubisoft.

 

[Dazraell]

 

[Krathoon]

OK. What keyboard key do you hit to use the camera? The symbol they are using makes no sense.

Edit: I figured it out. It is the caps lock. What an awkward key to use.

 

[Chuck Berry]

Up on PSN and only $20

Fuck it, Im in.

 

[keefged4]

Steam version has been given the bare minimum treatment as per usual by UBI, forced Ubisoft launcher, locked at 60fps, No achievements.

 

[FoxMcChief]

I own three copies of this game and have yet to play it. Maybe one day.

 

[OmegaSupreme]

HDR support?

 

[Chuck Berry]

Impressions seem surprisingly good so far. Hearing it runs fantastic on both Xbox and PS5.

 

[Chuck Berry]

The controls have been remapped to be more in keeping with modern titles and I found them to be smooth and responsive on PS5. Perhaps the most important improvement is the introduction of an invert option for all game modes, solving one of the biggest complaints the original game faced. The fantastic ring-based keyboard is retained and still feels head and shoulders above all other methods of text entry on controller.

 

[JimmyF]

How does it compare to 360/PS3 versions? Does it look any better or just the same?

 

[GutsOfThor]

It's a very overrated game.

THANK YOU. I played it when it first came out and it's mediocre in every way.

 

[Hudo]

Yeah, I cannot fathom, in the year 2024, that Ubisoft still insist on harassing people with one of the worst pieces of software ever created: Their fucking launcher. Steam is already a DRM tool, why the need for another one?

 

[TehGoomba7s]

Never played this. Did it age well? Worth a playthrough?

 

[Chuck Berry]

Never played this. Did it age well? Worth a playthrough?

Yes

It's a cult classic from a bygone era where unique and creative ideas were embraced, not rejected for the sake of the masses

I personally think it holds up better than a lot of 6th gen titles, and especially now that the controls have been tweaked.

 

[MALpractice311]

Dude, it's like 10 hours long on your first play through. It can be cut down to less than 6 on subsequent playthroughs. Just do it. It's a damn good game.

 

[MALpractice311]

Same question. Why would I want this version over the previous HD version?

You’ve got to be fucking kidding me

I really hate videogames in 2024

 

[Chuck Berry]

Aside from that thing posted above it’s been flawless

 

[adamsapple]

The water and reflections look better on the decade+ old X360 HD version ..

I appreciate the resolution boost and some of the rework but don't see any reason here, personally, to get the new one as I already have the X360 version.

Fucking hell. I hate modern media.

wtf is this shit this is worse then the tomb raider one.

Ehh, I considered to buy it. Well, not anymore.

 

[Chuck Berry]

The culturally misappropriated character models of the rhinos look great though. Clearly work was done here.

For $20 it’s absolutely worth getting. Just for the soundtrack and Pokémon Snap-ish photo hunting alone to me.

 

[Arsic]

What kind of game is it?

 

[Chuck Berry]

What kind of game is it?

Action adventure with some light puzzles in a pretty realized cartoony world that’s surprisingly dark. People liked to compare it Zelda because you got heart containers

There might be some minor Zelda-isms, but it ain’t Zelda. It really has kinda remained unique all these years later. It’s hard to compare it stuff out there. It’s always been it’s own thing in a way.

Check it out.

 

[digital_ghost]

One of my favorite games. Shame the sequel will be nothing like this.

 

[analog_future]

Massive improvements all-around:

 

[{insert code here}]

Might be a dumb question but is it an actual disc? Or just a code on a piece of paper.

 

[Brigandier]

It was really 21 years ago when this game first released???

Bought it. Will be playing it soon!

Nice improvement. A shame the game is a sleeping pill.

 

[reektann]

Saw you can finally invert Y axis independently! I’ll be checking this out, finally.

Agree, many things look better in the old HD version (that I actually own on PS3) then this new "remastered" version, other things look better in the new "remastered" version.

The same old "modern audience bootup screen" in the new "remastered" version, makes the old HD version the superior version though.

[Gamer_By_Proxy]

Never played this game. Can't decide if I wanna get it for Steam Deck or PS Portal.
Sounds like the HD version was a real bitch to get to work on the Steam Deck.
