Yea, I think they should sometimes stagger sales because if people are gonna be losing out during checkout, then it's not wise for people to go back and forth adding them up in the cart to combine orders. I usually just try to grab one and check out and then go back for the other ones I want. I end up paying more for shipping as a result.

Afaik the video didn't say :x
I don't think we'll ever see this euro Center, but aren't most of European countries' custom charges prepaid ?
If yes you shouldn't take them into consideration.
It has this kitsch 80's vibe that makes it a bad but still funny game. Most of us will probably buy it to point at the bad acting and the stupid plot.
I can't wait ^^

Grabbed it! Love the cover artThought some of you might be interested in this...
Based on the initial KS demo, the game is fantastic.

I'm getting customs charges on all my orders.

Bought it! OST on cassette in the bundle pulled me over the line.
Over time buying once physically will likely work out to be just as cost effective to buying all digitally and double-dipping on the ones you like.
But you can't double-dip when the game is already sold out near release. You can't make an informed purchasing decision and even have to double down on that if you want to get your hands on these physical releases. Provided they sell out as fast as I think they will of course.
You missed my point.
In the long run it would be cheaper for many people just buying the game once physically than buying it first digitally, then following up by buying the ones you like a second time physically. Even if the second scenario is hypothetical..
Maybe it's not true for you, as maybe you don't like as many games enough buy buy again?
Well, then you missed my point
I was only talking about games that have limited runs before they are even out, as with this game. It's basically a pre-order incentive, but it's also 40 bucks as opposed to just 20 for the digital version.
For other releases, even if you hadn't bought them when they first came out digitally, you can still look up reviews and player opinions to see whether you really want the physical release or not when it pops up. Can't do this here, have to go in blind or miss out completely (on the box that is).
Still available.

I didn't realize you were talking about referring to reviews. I generally ignore them, especially for indie releases.
Thought you were wishing digital was out first so you could buy that, then pick up physical when you liked the game.
Almost done.

That site is weird with no Paypal option. Still, had to pick up the PS4 version. That cover art looks great.

It's only 25 dollars. That makes for a low risk purchase.

Yeah I agree and Tribute Games is a very known quantity. I don't follow digital releases so much, so I'm happy that I'm getting some as physical editions without having to wait too long.

First time I heard about this, so I went to check it out on Eurogamer with developer commentary.

The moment he mentioned they looked at Enter the Gungeon for inspiration, they got me.
I'm a Euro pleb, so it's 40 for me. Besides, the game that prompted me to say this (Strafe) is 40 without shipping.

It's the controversy, combined with nostalgia, combined with the camp acting and story

Limited just posted that they'll have a exclusive cover/partnership.
Jokes on them, I already preordered a copy, Special Reserve knows how handle a release.

We're excited to announce that we'll be partnering up with @specialreserves to distribute variant covers of their upcoming PS4/Vita games!
All of our @specialreserves releases are distributed titles, not published titles. They are not part of the Limited Run Collection.
There will be no Limited Run branding on the packaging.

I asked on Twitter and LRG told me that these partnered games are not part of LRG collection and will not have the LRG series numbering.

That's the second announcement today that I totally didn't see coming. I guess that Limited Run got their Devolver Digital deal after all.

Well this is exciting news for two reasons:
1) Confirms Special Reserves are working on Vita releases
2) Is the first distribution deal LRG are doing? iirc they said that it would be a distribution deal if they ever landed Atelier.

Just got shipping confirmation email for DariusBurst
What a weird twist.
I guess it makes sense for Special Reserve Games because of economies of scale and the LRG name recognition. And LRG has a new partner instead of a possible competitor.
Not going to double-dip because of a variant cover, but it means that I can order STRAFE and other SRG games using PayPal, which is nice.

I guess I'll just get Strafe from LRG, tried signing up for SRG multiple times but couldn't get a confirmation email.

Which is weird, because the Special Reserve system is the exact same system that Devolver Digital uses for their store. Your login is the same for both.
So, I guess try registering an account at Devolver's store, see if that works.

That's a strange partnership but I guess it makes sense to both parties (at the moment). SRG gets some extra attention and LRG makes a few extra bucks by selling a cover variant. I guess once SRG is big enough, they will probably drop it.

I would guess that Special Reserve's Vita titles are a while off as they only have the following listed on their Facebook page at present:
Shadow Warrior 2: Special Reserve Collector's Edition (PC & PS4)
STRAFE (PC & PS4)
Absolver (PC & PS4)
Broforce (PC & PS4)
* more announcing soon*

Didn't realize Shadow Warrior 2 was getting a release through them. Big fan of the first one and was disappointed when this wasn't getting a retail release, nice to see that's going to be remedied.
Now the question is: SRG cover or LRG cover?

Fair warning, they retconned the previous Shadow Warrior 2 PC physical edition into being the first Special Reserve (despite, y'know, being also available on the Devolver Digital shop. They really aren't making much of an effort of hiding the fact that they're the same company). So, I would assume that they're aren't going to bother reprinting the PC version (considering it's still available) and instead will just do a PS4 run of Shadow Warrior 2.

Not a worry, I'll be going for a PS4 copy. But good to know for those who would be interested in the PC version.

Did anyone else here pick up a copy of The Sexy Brutale: Full House Edition? Noticed an unboxing popped up on my twitter stream.
Looks to be Europe only for now, but I'm guessing collectors in the future will want those backwards manuals lol
