I am, but only because it's going to cost me less than a big mac meal.
Aren't you capable of using the search engine and seeing for yourself?
Thanks for posting it. I laughed so hard.

Will this be available on the eshop?
If so, when? Midnight? Tomorrow some time?

It's actually been posted for a few days. It's not a great review IMO.
I did the same thing and absolutely loved it that there were consequences for
dawdling. This is the first and only game I've ever played in which "you've gotta hurry!" actually meant something.

Currently polling second in Australia's federal election (first in the Gold Coast), this feral may one day be your Bogan King.
I'll be picking it up on PC for $5 as I already own the base game and The Missing Link, along with the DLC. I'm pretty much paying $5 for developer commentary. I have a Wii U, but touch pad controls are not a big enough incentive to double dip at full price, not when it will look better and play great on PC for cheaper.

Definitely a huge highlight for the game. That and saving or failing to save Malik were great. Almost as good as saving/not saving Paul in DX1.
Yeah, Wii U's absolutely $20-or-less fodder with a debut price at $30 and a PC update for $5. And it'll be an excuse to finally get through Missing Link.

I feel it'll be more, 'wut is dis gaem?!' and 'huhhh...New community???' Posts than anything else. As strict as Miiverse moderation is, I wish it were stricter.
Anyway, I might pick this up on WiiU if I can find a good (sub $40) deal in the next couple weeks. Otherwise I might just triple dip on Resident Evil Revelations for $25.

Oh wow this game unlocks in 6 hours.

I really hope my achievements carry over from the base game. I don't want to play a pacifist run again just to get that achievement. Looks like its 2 and a half hours away which is nice I wasn't expecting it to be out until the afternoon. I too am basically paying 5 dollars for directors commentary but it seems to be really good commentary.

The Wii U version is a port of the Missing Link PC engine.
Should be releasing now. Dunno if I should use my $10 Amazon credits towards paying for release day shipping or just leave it as Super Saver. Only comes to $39.96 as it stands (with Super Saver shipping).
Edit: Woops, too late. Looks like they're shipping it already as it seems, and I can no longer change the option. Guess I'll just have to wait...WITHIN A WEEK. NO. SIX MONTHS.

I really cannot stand how some games just come out a few days later for PAL territories. On Steam the Director's Cut will unlock on the 25th but it's the 22nd for the US! What's the point, especially for digital releases?

I picked up Human Revolution + Missing Link for 4.99 in an Amazon sale a while back, I'm so in for the upgrade! Although I've only played HR for a couple hours so far...
They aren't going to remove effects from the existing PC release.
Conversely, they aren't going to take an existing x86 port, then port it to PowerPC for WiiU, then port it back to x86.
It came out 5 mins ago. Relax, take a deep breath, and wait a spell before throwing a fit about it, please? I mean if it's not fixed by the time the steam store updates that's kind of lame, but it's lets not shit the thread up because a game that just released at 2 AM CST (now 14 mins ago) doesn't have all the proper buying options up, yet.
Discount just popped up on the store.

Yup. For those concerned, the discount does indeed work now - just got the DC for $5.

You guys have become such a huge market and you still get delays. WTF

So will this be 75% off for good if you own DXHR and Missing Link? Or will the 75% discount end?

As far as I know, the discounts are permanent.
Seems to be indefinite.
It was noted in the Steam thread that the game is actually giftable. So someone with he DLC can purchase the game for the discounted price, then gift the copy to someone without the DLC.

Yep, but it's not for the conventional reasons, IIRC. It's thanks to fucking retail , and how games are 'traditionally' released on a Friday in the UK. Shouldn't bloody matter with digital, but retail still has huge clout. Stupid really. Ah well, still gonna get it, £3.49 for an enhanced version of DXHR is still a bargain, no matter the wait.
For those outside the US who'd rather not wait a few days:
You can disable the VPN after beginning the download if your find your download speed to be on the slow side. Similarly, you can also disable the VPN after launching the game; you won't be booted back to the client or anything of the sort.
Edit: I'm not entirely sure if the cc trick will work in regions that don't use USD. I suppose it depends on whether or not the prices in other currencies have been set up behind the scenes.
FYI, even if you're not in the US, you can buy the game now by using the ?cc=us trick to add it to your cart and then check out as normal. Steam will automatically change your region, but you'll be able to complete the purchase:

Cool, I was gonna buy it soon, was just hoping it wasn't some sort of pre-order/launch discount.
Guess I'm not in after all. Enjoy the game, everyone.

I did do a search but I didn't find any results.
Thanks, this'd be much easier to pull off in DC with the New Game Plus as I tried to have enough Praxis for it but didn't manage =P

Just reinstalled DX:rev on steam. Steam doesn't recognize the DC as DLC.
Do I rebuy the game for 8 then?
