Why so late? Usually that means we'd have a real piece of shit on our hands but recent impressions seemed to all be overwhelmingly positive.

Man, I wish US would get some sales. I would gladly buy the CE for 45 dollars
I paid full price, so I doubt it's Canada wide. I wish it was though
It is if you order it from best buy or futureshop, or even amazon.ca.
Bestbuy/futureshop/amazon all list it at about 45$
Considering that we really haven't had that many gameplay previews (this game has probably had the least public exposure over its development period that I've seen from any game), I would wager Matt and Trey are deadset on keeping spoilers under wraps until launch.
These days this doesn't mean anything. Embargoes that end way before release are a rarity these days.
listed as 85$ here (Montreal)

wait, i just realized...in that day one patch, it says the No Child Left Behind trophy will unlock regardless of requirements. What? I thought for sure that would be one of the hardest things in the game. Complete the entire game without ever finishing a fight with a downed party member.

Where are the day one patch notes at?

It is now it seems yea.
The deal that spanned all 3 is now passed.
Amazon currently lists it as 150$ and the other 2 at 85$
I think what the patch notes are meant to say is that WITHOUT the patch, the trophy unlocks regardless of whether you've done it. However the patch fixes it.
That would make more sense than they just making it so you get the trophy for free. That would defeat the purpose of even having it there at all.
I haven't heard anything to suggest otherwise.

ohhh ok, yeah that makes more sense. I thought they were trying to add another layer of pun to No Child Left Behind..where u can do horrible and obtain it still lol. But yea, u are probably right....i will most likely play without the patch then

What's the best price on this currently?
No, it's a bug where it unlocks regardless of requirements. The day 1 patch will mean it works as intended.
Playing without the day 1 patch as some above have suggested would be idiotic.

Wondering this as well.
The PC version can be had for ~$42.70 from Nuuvem. You may need to have Google Translate on hand when registering an account (if you don't already have one) but beyond that, buying and checking out is rather easy thanks to the iconography.

not for trophy/achievement whores like me...it would be genius. I will at least try to delete the patch before I finish the game, playing most of it with the patch.
That is just nonsensical. The entire existence of trophies is the gratification of reminding you of the struggle you went through to earn it.

not for some people. I just like seeing the 1000 g or plat, I dont care how I get it

Admitting you have a problem is the first step to recovery. ;-)
Honestly, I can't see how that trophy would be impossible to get on its own merits. Just don't finish a fight with any party members dead. I mean, how hard can that be?

it will be far from impossible, but there could be times where you might not have healing items or whatever. If someone goes down you would have to reload your game, not sure if that would negate it though....these are the kinds of things that I stress over while playing games, and I do not really like that I do it.
then play the games like they were back in the day? How hard is it to enjoy a game and ignore a trophy list honestly? Trophies and achievements didn't exist until the last 8 years.....how the hell did you survive playing games before?

I didnt really start playing games hardcore until the 360. I just watched my brothers play before that, and i didnt really care. But now, this topic is getting derailed lol
lol, well then you answered my question perfectly and back to the topic!
So what class is everyone picking then? I'm pretty sure with what I've seen I am going to eventually go all 4 routes eventually because the game looks like its going to suck my life for months to come.
But starting off, I think I'm going to go the basic fighter route, than jew, than mage and finally thief last.
He wasn't all that obnoxious about it though. People express differing opinions all the time, but for whatever reason posters tended to latch on to Derrick. It's not different than "Amirox sucks" on youtube, or "paging Devo" in threads about gender, or when someone gets banned and everyone starts posting photos of Bish (even though bans don't cite the banner he's just one of a dozen mods).
edit: fuck all these deals, 20% off gamefly, Grand Wizard ed. for regular price etc. I just preordered off Steam like a sucka!

Looks like the Stick of Truth toys are out, in case anyone wants a 3" version of the grand wizard edition

that collectors pack is pretty tempting. I bought a blindbox regular one a awhile ago and got Butters. idk if i should hold out and see if I can get a CE somewhere for cheap in the US though. I would be fine with the bigger Cartman

They updated the site yesterday with a quick description of each class. Avoid the "buddies" tab if you don't want to spoil who will get to join your party.

I think Thief is the only class we've never seen in action.
Hey, thanks for posting this. I had no idea they'd updated the site.
If that's true, gotta assume that that's just the main quest, right?
No clue. Could be.
I've heard everything from 12 hours to 50, never with anything concrete to back it up.
Not sure if you'll get the same offer but gmg is doing 25% off so its £30.00. I'd link the offer but their site is down.
