Who is shipping early to the US?

probably too late to get early shipping. But I preordered the game last week from Bestbuy and it says its going to be delivered on Monday. It's already arrived in my town.

 

[texhnolyze]

Is the day 1 patch included in the pre-load? If not, how big will it be?

250MB

 

[dEvAnGeL]

honestly speaking, when was the last time we had a game that didn't need a day 1 patch to work properly aside from Nintendo games? this game is worth to own on disc for sure, you can just pop it in and it will work flawless

Dragon Quest Builders didn't have one. But this is great we don't have a 12gb patch!

 

[Kin5290]

Welp, I can't pick this up until 9pm on Monday. Damn you local Gamestop for not bending the rules.

 

[Skeeter49]

Nioh, Yakuza Zero, and GR2 were good with minor patches.

 

[DriftingSpirit]

I want to finish and plat Horizon and Yakuza in March. I don't think I will make it.

 

[Skyzard]

This looks real good. Very impressive.

 

[The God]

Is preload up?

 

[Sword Of Doom]

Nobody in LA breaking street date?

 

[ScaryShark]

Is preload up?

For NA it's supposedly 9 pm PST according to the email they sent out. It's already available in some other territories.

 

[Bishop89]

You're having a laugh, right? There's no way that's true

It is for me..

 

[polyh3dron]

Nobody in LA breaking street date?

You may want to check World 8 on Monday.

 

[CHC]

I'm eager to preload! PSN is so fucking awful that I'll take all the time I can get for the download.

 

[robotzombie]

this game is so friggin good and so pretty

 

[Peroroncino]

Nioh, Yakuza Zero, and GR2 were good with minor patches.

Yakuza patch wasn't really a 'patch', it was an update with free dlc, no bugfixes etc. whatsoever.

btw. Glad to see Edge gave it a 9, though this score is probably gonna get a wee bit eclipsed by 10 for BotW.

 

[More_Badass]

It is for me..

Which only proves it's not a universal thing; it's not even a universal thing for the individual. I treat spoilers differently for different mediums, different genres within those mediums, for different works in those genres, for different levels of interest regarding those works

To use blanket terms like "spoiler culture" or try to apply things like "spoilers make people enjoy stuff more" as a universal constant makes no sense

 

[Evolved1]

I bought this game on PSN months ago, but the hype is only just hitting me.

Perfect timing.

 

[Evolved1]

One question... can (some) hud-stuff be disabled without breaking the game?


Edit: oops double post, sorry.

 

[DriftingSpirit]

Yes.

The entire hud is customizable! 😎

It's been up here for several hours. Asia.

 

[Head.spawn]

I finally saw a commercial for this game on Spike TV.

Gotta say, WOW! Amazing to actually see a DEVELOPER in an actual commercial for the game. I can honestly say, that's the first time I recall seeing that.

 

[GribbleGrunger]

Uhhh so why are we openly spoiling that we see

Spoiler

child

Aloy in the game in this thread? And calling her an ugly bitch no less?

Because I warned people not to go into the spoiler thread because of it and then people started arguing it wasn't a spoiler which lead to someone saying it directly. From that point on it wasn't a spoiler because those of us who didn't know already knew. It's remarkable how we get something spoilt and then people say it isn't a spoiler. Now watch as people argue it isn't a spoiler even though the two of us had it spoilt for us. And they STILL won't understand how ludicrous they sound in light of what you said and what I just said.

 

[Zemm]

God damn lmao. This might be the ugliest kid I've ever seen. She's pretty damn hideous xD

Possible Spoilers

Reminds me of that creepy ass kid from Medal of Honor.

That is horrible, looks like Chucky from Childs Play lol

It absolutely does ruin things for some people, you're not wrong, and people should absolutely try and avaoid giving away too much, especially dramatic moments and plot twists, simply out of courtesy.

But he's not wrong when he said there's increasing evidence to show that most 'average consumers' do find greater enjoyment when given spoilers in advance of experiencing narrative driven artistic mediums. It's the reason movie trailers more often than not give away the entire bloody plot so often.

I find it annoying as hell too Honestly, but yeah, the ordinary Jane and Joe public that are who every company want to sell too really do just get hyped by spoilers.

 

[Reckless Onion]

So the performance mode is locked at 30fps?

 

[The Jazz Cabbage Master]

God damn lmao. This might be the ugliest kid I've ever seen. She's pretty damn hideous xD

I mean you can stop almost any scene with a human delivering dialogue and catch them in the middle of some awkward face because you don't pause your face in the middle of a word in reality 💁🏼

I saw that bit in a video and I think she was getting angry so, imagine that.

 

[TalentAlwaysWins]

Is meta off on weekends?...

 

[DriftingSpirit]

Is meta off on weekends?...

Meta is fighting to keep it at 88 as long as possible.

 

[Evolved1]

Yes.

Thanks for that.

Cool.

 

[The Lamp]

She kinda looks like kid Joe Dirt, I'll admit, but she has cute moments.

 

[GeoramA]

Pre-loading in a few hours. So close

 

[hbkdx12]

Im considering getting the digital deluxe edition with that comes with a couple of outfits.

Carja Storm Ranger Outfit and Mighty Bow
Banuk Trailblazer Outfit and Culling Bow
Banuk Traveller Pack
Carja Trapper Pack
Nora Keeper Pack

I'm assuming these are just things that you can get through regular play but just sooner. Anyone know for sure? Can't seem to find a definitive answer.

I'm not sure if the extra tenner is worth it. If it's stuff that you can eventually come across with normal play i may just pass

 

[MegaSackman]

haha in talks to get some future 6/10 reviews as soon as possible.

 

[Eklesp]

my hype is swollen

 

[WhiskerFrisker]

I got a copy! NYC continues to come in clutch.

 

[Gurish]

There's no way that it tops the craziest moments of Uncharted 4 where there's a million things going on on screen without dropping frames. I don't care that's you've played the game already, lol.

Which moments were those? the E3 setpiece?

 

[CHC]

Yes.

Incredible!

 

[Kenzodielocke]

How does the dynamic option work? I read somewhere I need to push the touchpad ?

 

[WordsintheWater]

Hud pops on when you're in combat, gain xp, near a quest, things like that, but you swipe the touchpad in order to bring the hud up as you're exploring, it fades away after a few seconds. Just to add compass and quest markers are always there with dynamic.

I don't know if there's some special way to get those items through regular play, but i've never seen those outfits and weapons so far. And I have 64 hours of gameplay.

 

[Tyaren]

I already love Aloy. :3

The uncharted 4 E3 setpiece was ruined for me because I kept dying and it became incredibly frustrating

 

[DriftingSpirit]

haha in talks to get some future 6/10 reviews as soon as possible.

Yep, it would be funny if they added all those high scores and upped it to 89 only to immediately drop it back down by quickly adding a low score lol.

Do what must be done, Meta!

 

[CHC]

I like how she has big ears and kind of a round chin / jawline. Super tired of the fucking DAZ3D supermodel looking women being the default.

Are those shots from the Pro by the way? Or regular PS4? I'd love if someone could post a couple more regular PS4 shots.
