I actually live in Canada. And I made a mistake, I looked at the DLC section and I actually saw the Hunting Season Pass only, no Monster Expansion Pack.

I wonder why I can't see the Monster XP..

It doesn't have a store page yet and the owned DLC box Revolutionary mentioned is currently a feature of the beta client, but you can view a list of your owned DLC by right-clicking the game in your library, selecting "Properties" and then switching to the "DLC" tab. The game unlocked in the remaining countries bar Japan about 10 minutes ago, though, so there's the distinct possibility that GMG had already destroyed its NA pre-order keys before you bought it.

Woah woah woah.

They overpriced the hell out of the character content coming up, but are also starting the kick with a bunch of overpriced cosmetics too?

2K, what the hell are you thinking? Don't you want people to buy the DLC? Does the amount of content coming up make that pricing necessary?

I'm not one of those type of people that live in the fantasy of expecting DLC to be free, but I do expect it publishers to at least try and make the DLC attractive to a purchase with its price.

Game is crazy good IMO. Hit level 10 in one sitting, unlocked the third Assault Character who has a shotgun and rocket launcher, plus the kraken monster. Going to play a bunch more tomorrow.

It's a damn shame what they're doing because I like the game a lot, but don't blame anyone who is turned out/skipping the game because of this stuff. A new IP needs momentum and good word of mouth, this isn't the time to be greedy fuckwits charging around every corner.

It even follows the same general mindset I have with other games. If I like a game enough I might drop some additional money on it. Without the season pass and preorder stuff I would actually be likely to buy a skin pack...but not at THAT price. They just don't get it.

Just purchased the preorder from Amazon since they were still running it. What's nice I already had credit with Amazon so got it down to $48.

Bad news is Amazon is on US/Pacific time. So looks like I have to wait another 2 hours. Bed time anyways. Will need to wake up and start the download tho so I can play it a little in the morning

Grabbed my pre-order today! So ready to get my kill on in a couple of hours *sigh* Stuck at work atm!

Will post some impressions tomorrow as i'm going into this fresh, so no idea what i'm in for. Did ready the basic synopsis of each class so might go with the heavy class first.

Very nice OT btw, infact one of the best i've seen. All info seems very comprehensive (had to avoid most of it cuz I wanna go in fresh). Excellent colour scheme and very clear and concise layout. Great work!

Played my first two matches and was Goliath both times and it was a blast. I managed to win one of my games by killing all of the humans off. Playing as the monster definitely seems like the way to go when you want to play alone and not chat. It was stressful and a ton of fun both times. Definitely made a good first impression.

I was playing Goliath and it was fun. Is 2k Store or 2k sport Link down because it says it's inaccessible. Does that apply to you guys too?

Man I have the monster on the bottom of my list, and it made me play three games as it. Made no sense because two of those games had an empty player spot.

Watching it on Twitch, the game seems pretty fun, but I'll wait to see if it builds a community before nabbing it at a lower price.

Also I'm watching a stream and I just realized the person made enough money from donations to get the game for free. I need to get in on this.

If there's an open slot, then you can fill it by pressing O or B and then select the available role.

Thanks, Amazon.ca!

For those of you playing the PS4 version, how's the framerate hold up? I only played one round of the last beta, but it seemed pretty solid to me.

Pretty good. Noticed a few drops when one of the creatures blew a blast of smoke and everyone was fighting around it. Def not a big deal

Great, the game still crashes sporadically on PC. Damn it.
Edit: Hopefully new Nvidia drivers fix it for me. TXAA is still borked, however.

Must've played about 10 matches as the monster... haven't won a single match yet! Woo.

But at least I last longer in PVP than solo lol.

Also, the load times on X1 are painful.

I have a hard time understanding why so many people are having a hard time with Cosmetic DLC

CoD has weapon skins and no one bats and eyelash, it should not hinder a normal person in any way shape or form because its purely optional, you can play with and against people with stuff you don't have, it's going around as well that you can join matches that have started with a character you don't own if the person who was playing as them dropped.
