Ugh, maybe I need to speak to an Amazon rep...
Yeah, same here.
But I think I got Ar nosurge pretty late.
What should be allowed for open spoilers in the spoiler thread? I'll go ahead and make it early on like the others, but I'm not sure if it should be just about DR:AE and DR1, or about the entire series concerning what DR:AE could mean for the future (with the impending DR3).
DR0 still hasn't been officially localized, but I feel like a lot in there could tie into DR:AE... it's frustrating.

I think that since this is primarily an English board, all games that are released in English are fair game, stuff that is still just Japanese should be spoiler tagged.
Yeah, that's fair and what I'll go with. Ugh, Danganronpa 0 is so good and so relevant to AE. We really need to get that officially one day.

NISA c'mon already.
This is exactly my opinion & the main rule for the DR Community OT.
DR1 & DR2 are fine, but DR Zero = spoiler tags.

So when do we expect the digital version of the game to be up? Random time tomorrow? :T
Mine was part of a big E3 order from amazon.ca too and it arrived today. But I'm still on the student prime deal. I hear they've been slow on shipping non-prime orders lately.
And yea the visuals in this game look really good, it doesn't have a lot of the weird jaggy edges or white lines a lot of other 3d vita games have.
Considering it's PSN, yes, sometime in the afternoon-ish tomorrow. I really wish Sony would have an actual set time for PSN updates, considering Nintendo is right around 9 a.m. PT/Noon ET.

Does Sony update PSN separately on the PS3/4 and the Vita? Given MGSV comes out and there is likely a slew of people waiting to download and play at Midnight, would the Vita's PSN not update?

Going to pick this up in a week or 2. Very excited for it but wish it didn't drop on the same day as Metal Gear Solid V.
Alright, game's coming out tomorrow and the spoiler thread has been established. Open discussion of DR:AE Spoilers should go on in there in the future, so that people don't get too scared away to talk about the game as they play in this OT.

Unfortunately midnight releases are on a game-by-game basis, it has no bearing on the store update as a whole.

Aw, fiddlesticks....
Yes, unfortunately. There are a fair number of remixes, at least, but there's a lot of straight up reuse, and they need to stop that. Completely new soundtracks give games their own identities and, while DR1 had great music, it becomes less great as it's recycled for the subsequent games.

Just ate my words. Got an email 5 seconds after posting saying it shipped.
Yeah, there are some familiar songs in there.

I figured the same, but on the other hand I was a little put off that the regular tune didn't kick in during the title screen lol.
Also I started playing this right after work and why can't I stop? I was hooked right from the intro, I'm loving this.
Ha, I thought the same! If there's any song I'd accept to be reused or constantly remixed like that, it would be the main DR theme for the title screen. Ah well, that's this game's main theme so it works.
And yes, despite its gameplay drawbacks, DR:AE is as compelling as the previous games in the series.

Finally the time has come. I look forward to freely explore Tumblr and YouTube after finishing this game. And of course, the discussion here looks promising from the previews and what people that have already played the game have said.
Actually I'm expecting some info about DR3 to be released around TGS, so I'm waiting to see the plot developments in this game.

Something terrible happened last night. I wanted to play a bit before bedding time, booted up the Vita then the game, loaded my save and... nothing. It just prompted me back to the New Game / Load Game screen, even if it specifically said "Loading completed".
I tried to restart the game, nothing. I'll try again tonight, but I am really afraid to have lost everything. I had saved at the beginning of the 5th chapter (not at a duck station but the save that the game asks you to make between chapters), I won't start it again if this is a bug of some kind...

So, browsing Facebook last night, NIS America posted on their page that some items pertaining to the LEs arrived late in the day yesterday but they had started shipping them out. So I expect, depending on one's chosen shipping method, it's likely most should be receiving their orders between today and end of the week
I guess I feel a little less bad about this mishap if it was probably at least partially due to this. That's really unfortunate, though.

These are all criticisms I generally agree with, though I think they can be taken in a different light when you consider the game's nature as a spinoff title -- it's interesting to see Spike Chunsoft take things in a different direction, even if it means some things aren't done in a way that really clicked beforehand, like the shift away from a more comedic type of dark (that being said, I'm finding the Hit List Notes to fit in with the usual way of doing things).
I think the shooting segments are great given the game is very much trying to approximate a survival horror experience, but I agree with everything else you said about them. I have been avoiding Toko as much as possible simply because she turns the game into a shallow button masher, and her inclusion as a limited-use (but still widely available) win button definitely lowers the tension you feel in moments where you're low on ammo, or in danger.
It certainly adds to the feeling that things can feel disposable at times. As you mentioned, there's no real need to beat the puzzle rooms (but they are well crafted that you'd want to, I think), but I am pretty disappointed with the way the game seems to grade progress. Given the emphasis on ammo preservation and getting a "nice shot!", I would have loved to be graded on accuracy and nice shot percentages, but alas that isn't the case, collecting 5 floating stickers seems to be more important, and that as a task isn't really as incentive compatible for players who don't want to collect things for the sake of collecting things.

Ooh, Japanese voice over pack is up. Wasn't expecting 1.8GB, NISA really did have a good excuse for distributing them this way (that it wouldn't fit on the game card).
1.8gb for the DLC. I hope my theory about hardsubbed cutscenes being included is right, then. Anyone that can confirm?
Also, holy shit the theme is free.

Guess I should be hoping for tomorrow then. Not the end of the world, but I had today off from work.
Hey, it's free. *takes*

I'm committing to it now: I'm going to replay Danganronpa while working towards a platinum trophy, then pick up AE, and play DR2 after (maybe try to platinum that as well).
Didn't know we were getting a theme, and it's free too, nice. Thanks for the link
