Should be, I pre-ordered it for $42 (we usually get price gouged)

A little forgotten hell hole that forms part of the PAL region, not quite as bad as Australia though.

I do NOT want to cheer on higher game prices, but for this game, I think it makes business sense to shoot for $50 and not $40.
Bamco know this game won't break records in the western world; at the same time, they recognize that the niche fanbase will REALLY want to buy it, even if it's at an unreasonable price.

I do hope it sells well enough in the US if anything to show to Namco that undubbed PSN only titles are viable in the states.

These guys are right, I just beat him and when it comes down to it Wapol doesn't piss around, handed me my first three deaths.
I also barely remember any of the arc this bit was based on, I don't think i've ever viewed it out of its oh so wonderful 4kids interpretation many years ago nor did I go back and read it when I started following the manga.
Anyway as for the game itself, I picked it up on a sudden impulse even though I'm lukewarm on musou games and while I enjoy One Piece I never considered myself a big fan or anything, even so this game is enjoyable enough so I expect it will certainly please most of the people here when they get their hands on it.
In all seriousness I came across this thread, saw playable Jinbei in the opening post and was like "okay, i'll look into this".
The adventure/action stages are okay so far but a bit too many quick time event styled "platforming" to fill out the actual stage length that can get a bit tiresome, that said I appreciate the effort to add variety and mix things up from simply wailing on enemies which I might add is mighty satisfying.

Starting to feel the hype. Might have to cave in and buy tomorrow...
I don't think there will be a demo, at least not this week. =/

Same. I actually forgot Hell Yeah was coming out as well. $80 week. D:
GTA 3 as a PS2 classic as well. Big week.

GT5 Academy Edition, DOA5, New Little Kings Story pre-ordered...

Gonna wait a bit on DoA5. Still messing around with Tekken Tag 2. Little Kings Story would be a must, if I had a Vita. :B
Thankfully, the rest of the year won't be too nuts for me, so maybe I can save up a grab a Vita. Ragnarok comes out in a couple of weeks and that's one of those titles that just might push my hand in getting one.

No, I hope it shows that they should have considered durbbing it and releasing it on disc in the states. Graces F and Ni no kuni get durbs but not One Piece which has wider appeal :/
Almost none of the audience want dubs, though.
I do...
Just common courtesy to include a dub. Plus, Funimation does a really good job.
Sadly, a lot of people STILL think 4Kids does the dub. Even though Funi has been behind it for FIVE YEARS now.

they spent so much time on nami's titties, they forgot to work on her limbs.

I want this game, but I'm saving up to help my brother get a Wii U.

Hm, might try that. Or I might be totally impatient and go the PSN route tomorrow. Thanks either way!

It's 469 SEK on Swedish PSN. That's roughly a million British pound.

Anytime! Have you made up your mind on which route you'll go? Or is it still up in the air?

As kassatsu stated in the PS Store update thread, this game will be 50 dollars. Go, go, Namco!

Meh, what I figured. I'll just hold off for a little while despite it being OP.
Since I'm moving in a month, I don't want to risk the long shipping times and will probably just go the PSN route. Instant gratification is good too!
Sounds like I'll be getting it later rather than now. Hopefully it will be enough to show Namco that people want One Piece games in NA.

$50 was expected but a bit of a bummer. Can't wait to play this and Tokyo Jungle!

Do not want the OP dub. I rather read subs with Japanese voice.
Imagine if 4Kids still had the One Piece license for English dubs. Personally fine with it just being in Japanese. That's how I tend to play my Naruto and Bleach games too.

I'm still amazed by how accurate the dialogue, music, and...well everything is about that. Dude must've worked for 4kids or something.
But yeah, I'd watch too. While it was a terrible rendition of the actual show, it was pretty hilarious when looked at as a parody.

Ugh, never again. I vastly prefer having Krillin-Usopp over Puberty-Clown-Usopp (that's what Jason Griffith sounded like to me when doing that voice).
One complaint I've about Funi's dub is how they "sound too much like other characters". Well, that's just how voice actors work, they can sometimes reuse voices.
This complaint can be applied to the Japanese version as well (Mayumi Tanaka uses her Krillin voice for Luffy, Ikue Ohtani is just Pikachu if he said more than his name, and Kazyua Nakai does the exact same voice for Date Masamune). It's like complaining that Jake from Adventure Time sounds too much like Bender from Futurama.

How something can be so bad and good at the same time amazes me. It basically ruined OP for America, but I still go out of my way to watch it sometimes due to how much the stupid puns and edits make me laugh. Here's one: Zoro's Chicken Ways.

The opening is actually pretty catchy and good, the other changes though, depressing.

online coop campaign or separate mode?
