Limited Run Games - Putting digital games into your hands

Hey guys.

So I missed the boat on #13:Soldner-X 2. Does anyone have a preorder and not sure if you want it?

I'm desperately looking to get one. I'd prefer the bundle with soundtrack but would still be really happy with the just the game.

Thanks

It was in really high demand. You may have to go eBay route.

How about that Rainbow Moon though?!

August is going to be a great month!

We are going to limit Rainbow Moon to 1 per customer since the run size is only 3,000 per platform.

Can't wait for Vita Rainbow Moon.
 
First two copies of Soldner sold on Ebay for:

$85 and $110

Yay

Where allowed, I think I'm going to start buying two copies for trade fodder. Could have easily traded a copy of Breach & Clear for Soldner at this point.

Is it possible to upload my digital Vita save and continue on the physical version?

Will trophies sync correctly?


I'm still trying to figure out if I should try to check out with just Rainbow Moon first or add everything to the cart. I'm hoping in the future only one game is released at a time.

Scared as hell.

Gotta wait till Black Friday for the remaining stock
 
Limited Run has already shot down proposals toward a pre-order/made-to-demand system along with shying away from the membership subscription based on the nasty feedback. Discussing these ideas any further will be a moot point. It's pretty clear we're going to remain in the same circumstances until further notice.

I just hope that I can snag a copy of "Shadow Complex" as "Rainbow Moon" looks too grind intensive based on the remarks that I've seen despite the positive outlook from critics.

Where is all this Shadow Complex hype coming from?

But yeah Rainbow is awesome, give it a chance!

1) Detctive GAF figure it out several pages back. I'm hoping we're right. But you guys did say that providing hints would be very "complex"...

2) RB is awesome. Apparently my PS3 purchase years ago has given me rights to Vita version. But I'll wait for the cartridge to attempt the new Platinum.

Edit: Or maybe I bought the "Special Offer" deal for half off the Vita version? I can't remember.

Technically the first two sold were both $60. Latest two were indeed at those prices.
I still believe it'll settle down.

Rainbow Moon was a PS+ title at one point no? Perhaps you own it already.

Still not considering shipping costs :(
If every game was released individually I would definitely have to rethink some purchases, it's only economical for me if the shipping is split across games.

I'll have all pages open in tabs and F5 all of them, as they never go live at exactly the same time. Then just add to cart and check out. Worked for me so far but I've never gone for the OST bundles.

We will try to active them at the same time. Have some on each of our computers and hit live.

Good month for it. There's not much I'm interested in for August so I don't have to worry too much.

September though, is an absolute disaster. Luckily only Dragon Fantasy announced so far, which I'm not fussed about. If anything else gets announced though, eep.

September will have One Way Heroics (or Croixleur Sigma), mark my words.

Japanese developed Vita RPG is September :p

EDIT: ^One Way Heroics seems to be the best fit. Croixleur isn't really an RPG. And there aren't many digital only PS4/Vita JP RPGS that I can think of.
 
It wasn't really a bug. Copies are reserved for a few minutes once a user clicks "check out", and only get removed from inventory when checkout is completed. Since items are still technically in inventory, but reserved, you can add them to your cart even when you can't actually initiate a checkout. If you happen to click "check out" after another customer backs out and releases their reserve, you can get an order through. That's why some people report success after clicking check out multiple times. Eventually they get lucky and catch one coming off reserve.

The best we can do is make sure people understand that adding an item to the cart is not a guarantee that its theirs. There would be a whole logistical can of worms if inventory was removed before checkout was actually completed and due to that, no eCommerce platform works that way. We could create a better queue like PAX has but even then I get the option to buy tickets that aren't actually in stock so that would not be a be all end all solution. There just isn't a super clean way to do this.

I'm sorry, but this is total bullshit and you guys need to figure out a better checkout system. Every other online site that I've dealt with, big or small, lets you check out once it's in your basket. There's no excuse, especially when the current system gets taken advantage of by script kiddies and resellers. Adding in a membership option isn't going to matter if those people pay their fee and ruin the early access listing too.

If diehards who are legitimately trying to purchase one copy get fucked over the MINUTE the game goes on sale (like me), then you guys aren't doing a good job, sorry bout it.

Considering I even had Amazon checkout processes interrupted by items going out of stock, this is blatantly not true.
 
I'd honestly hope you read more than just that reply before bringing your shitpost in here, considering it's been talked about for the last several pages. Read some more replies before restarting a discussion that should have died off already.

There is only one other post from LRG that's just a giant shoulder shrug, then it's right back into cockteasing Shadow Complex. The rest of the posts are pointless banter from people outside of the company.

The ordering system has been completely fucked up since day one and nothing has been done to fix it, and apparently LRG doesn't care since they make their money either way. It's bad customer service, plain and simple, and they need to do better before people get pissed off enough to stop ordering.

A. Something in the basket doesn't mean anything. I've had Best Buy, TRU, and Amazon among others deny purchases even though I got something in the cart.

B. It's not their system and they can only work with Shopify and voice their complaints.
Heck, they've just fixed one glitch that allowed you to put any product in the basket despite order limits, or even stock quantity. (that Yian discovered here). That glitch works across all Shopify sites.

Would a 1 click ordering system be viable? I know Amazon does it but they are a big company.

I meant posts from other people, considering that's where the discussion has largely been. If you actually read any other posts, you'd see that the demand for the game was largely underestimated, which no website fixes would have changed and there was no real way to gauge that the demand would be so high before release. Get in line with everyone else who didn't get the game due to it's demand being underestimated and try to come up with a real solution that could help them in the future, not come in here and run your mouth when you have no idea what went on.

Saying "I'm pissed, fix thing now" isn't a solution and it in no way, shape or form helps them work towards bettering themselves or the site.
 
gilt.com has a cool system that reserves an item in your cart for 10 minutes with a countdown. they do the timed release limited inventory thing pretty damn well. LRG should look into how they do it and use their system.

sure, but what's the difference? Everyone is going to be using it and you still will be either fast enough or you won't.

Anything that makes checkout faster makes it faster for everyone. You won't have an advantage

The difference is just at what step of the process you'll see the error message

same here. you'll just get an out of stock message when you add to cart instead of when you check out

The goal should be to have enough stock so it lasts for a while. Everything else just seems like a band aid to me and won't really prevent people from missing out

A 1 click system would just remove errors, so yeah it's time based but a lot of people get screwed by glitches and such it seems.

I'm a bit worried that so many changes are made and not tested before the next sale. Sounds like it could backfire.

Shouldn't there be a way to test the functionality somehow?

Also maybe its just me but it's not 100% clear what exactly was changed from those tweets

I agree.

I'm not sure I understand this:

" You can still add out of stock stuff, but it doesn't matter because you can't actually check out with it."

So, you can add stuff that is OOS, but if you can't check out it is because it really is OOS... not like before when items appeared in stock, you would add them but the system showed them as sold out during check out.

I guess that's what it means.

This must be what happened to me when I was trying to buy the B&S franchise bundle. Was in there within the first 5 seconds and somehow was able to add it to my cart, but couldn't check out - three times in a row. I managed to get Soldner and Deadline soundtrack bundles. Killing me all I need is the first B&C. lol
 
I'm trying to reconcile this against the issue that I had early on with the first LRG games. I was there waiting for it to go live, immediately added to my card in the first seconds and couldn't check out. That seems like odd timing, since that much product couldn't have been added instantly when it went live.
 
Boom. Thank you LRG.

So basically they did exactly what I replied to you about after you said they don't care about their customers because they're getting paid anyway.

Yeah, people trying to add the regular Soldner and not being able to check out from he start. That is just odd.

They only need to ask fanbase and tweet a week in advance for a fake selling test, maybe with a contest or lottery with one or two leftover copies for participating. I think anything that gets posted here or in the twitter reaches ALL the audience.


They get feedback on the system, we get a better syste, everybody gets what he wanted.
Would be a first.

That's what happened to me and LRG responded that it was claimed that fast.

I like this idea. I can't afford to miss out on any more games so I'm all for testing it.

This shouldn't happen anymore with Amazon, unless you had it in your basket for more than 15 minutes. When you add to basket, that item is 'yours' for 15 minutes or until checkout and confirm the order.

Not to mention the one click ordering.

are you sure that's not just for lightning deals? It definitely happened to me fairly recently
