Green Man Gaming has it for $34.

Code is 20SUM-MERSA-VINGS

Will it work on Euro Steam account?

 

[HP_Wuvcraft]

No idea, didn't check.

 

[graywolf323]

I hope Steam starts allowing preloading soon and Green Man Gaming gets their keys out

I want to be able to play this game as soon as it goes live >_>

 

[The English Conquistador]

Anyone else pre-ordered from Game?

I did mine last year, and received an email the other day telling me the price for the augmented edition had been raised from £30 to £35, but that I'd still be paying the original price (£30).

Was quite happy about that.

I've never bought a Steamworks game from a non-Steam entity before, is that how it works?

 

[Chrysalis]

Is it just me, or are there a shitload of deals for this game? Does that mean pre-orders aren't looking good?

I would imagine it's the opposite. For a major release- and this game is one of the bigger PC releases of the year- retailers are realizing that they have to compete for sales by offering discounts and bonuses. This is especially true now that PC sales have gone digital and it's so easy for consumers to compare offers. If it was a smaller release, they wouldn't bother because they would know that other retailers wouldn't bother.

The game goes on for another 20-30 hours past what was leaked. So actually, you don't know what the fuck you're talking about. Yet. Also, the real "Reviewer's Problem" is the double standards of people who are going to shit on anything that says something they disagree with, regardless of how well-developed their opinions are. If we don't compare something to other games that are better, we're not doing our jobs. If we do compare something to other games that are better, we're judging a game based on things "it isn't trying to do," etc.

So just admit it - you're going to discredit any review that says something other than what you want it to think about it, a full day before you have the chance to start playing it (and even longer before you've played enough of the campaign to have much ground to stand on when opining with regards to its overall quality).

Caveat - I like the game.

Just post your review here once its posted on whatever site you work for. Game comes out next week anyways.

Critics don't like criticism I guess.

Greenman Gaming will get keys when Square Enix gives them to GMG. According to the forums they *should* have the keys up alittle before hand for a pre-load.

Don't quote me on this, i might be thinking of RO2 or Dead Island.

 

[Zenith]

Oh ffs, full game leaked to the pirates already and I've got more than a week till Europe gets it.

Par for the course

I have not read, seen or heard anything about this game until i read the OP. Now, I must have this game! Sounds soo sweet! I was thinking about playing the original in preparation, how has it aged? Is it still worth playing (graphics aside)?

DX is one of the most creative games I have ever played.

 

[iNvid02]

another victim of early leakage, shame

Well... It's been a victim of early leakage for months.

 

[Robobandit]

Needs to be tuesday of next week already.. I don't want to get spoilered by these pirates who get it early.

What you're providing isn't criticism - it's blind product loyalty. Which you're entitled to, but you have no ground from which to throw stones at reviewers who give a game less than the score you need to see to validate your purchasing decisions.

And you can find my review at IGN on Monday morning.

Consoles only or PC too? Nowadays it's more common just for the console version to be playable prior to release.

PC too it seems.

 

[balladofwindfishes]

TF2 Promotional item is coming either tonight (probably) or tomorrow at the latest.

it was hinted at by a developer, but someone visited Valve today and they confirmed it.

 

[EatChildren]

Orange and lemon lime for the Scout, please.

Blind loyalty? Correct me if I'm wrong, but I've played 1/3 of the game. Game magazines and sites have posted and printed reviews of games where the reviewers didn't even play that much of the game.

 

[03sho]

ok so now that it wont be reigon locked for us/uk/europe maybe this deal will entice some of you

limited edition deus ex £25.24 ($41.70)
http://www.tescoentertainment.com/S...otating1&utm_campaign=15Offdeusexpreorder2011

£25.24???

How did you work that one out?

Shows as £33 in my basket after discount

EDIT: PC version I'm guessing

 

[Subterranean]

It would be really cool to add a augmented arm to any TF2 class as the promotional item.

 

[Data West]

Spy could use it and have the elbow things come out for backstabs

 

[Solo]

Strongly considering doing so this weekend.

Damn man, finishing DX in 2 days would require hitting that shit hard.

 

[mxgt]

PC too it seems.

PC version isn't cracked yet it seems, so they can't play it.

 

[Subterranean]

Every class will have a special augmentation involving the arm. Genius! Make it happen Gabe!

 

[angular graphics]

PC too it seems.

You can't play a SteamWorks game before its release - the content is encrypted and the exe is missing.

 

[MNC]

Maybe it's sunglasses.

And your vision



BECOMES AUGMENTED.

 

[Robobandit]

Sounds like Eidos Montreal needs to go over their reviewer list again and hunt somebody else down..

Normally a steamworks game would be encrypted and need steam to unlock it...

 

[Rumble19]

Looks like you are able to start preloading steam copies of the game now.

[darkressurection]

Hopefully Green Man gets their keys out ASAP so I can start pre-loading.

 

[Deadbeat]

PC too it seems.

Not cracked on PC due to steamworks. The vital files needed to run the game arent out there yet.

edit: I really need to start refreshing tabs before posting.

 

[Subterranean]

Yay pre-load time!

 

[K.Sabot]

Come on GMG, pull through for me.

I want to have this ready.

 

[Lostconfused]

sweet sweet juicy pre-load.

 

[Snuggles]

DATA THAT CONTAINS A DEUS EX GAME IS BEING PUT INTO OUR COMPUTERS

send me my fucking code GMG you assholes

 

[Saren is Bad]

AW FUCK GREENMAN WHERE YOU AT DAWG

 

[K.Sabot]

The TF2 item better be a new Deus Ex style Gunslinger with sick shades.

 

[shadyspace]

Nope. Not gonna play this. I have way too many games to play right now. No sirree......








Fuck.

 

[The Stealth Fox]

Didn't DX1 get a lot of 8s too?

If IGN 8.5s it, it's fine. GameSpot 8.2'd DX1.

That doesn't mean it won't be classic DX awesomeness.

 

[DualShadow]

At this stage its just the pre-load right?

Not an early release?

 

[sflufan]

That's correct.

[KorrZ]

Fuck..I've never wanted a weekend to end before it begins so badly. Seeing all you guys talk about preloading is making it worse :\

 

[Horns]

I'd buy the Steam version right now if I could play it tonight.
