Fuck that Squeenix box, man. Avoid.
This goes well with my theory that they are trying to pull Ubi.

I can't wait for the misery box.
Probably English is not my first language, probably. But please, carry on!

Well, that solves your problem with not having Ultra
Edit:
Square Enix is having a Christmas surprise box
Six steam games for 6.49
Six copies of Final Fantasy VII on PS4.
I don't think this was targeted solely at you Monk, as there's been a few others. You have a good excuse though, my spelling in other languages is utterly atrocious!

This isn't the first time this has happen. Telltale's PC games are often the most expensive (out side of crazy steam sales), and least supported of their product line.
Oh but I made the mistake he mentioned. In fact I make others as well, that's why when I post some Steam reviews in here I always apologize for my English vocabulary. I actually don't mind and I even have to thank to those who help improve my writing every day. The carry on part was honest, I do like to improve.

so Car Mechanic Simulator is oddly satisfying. Having passing automobile knowledge is pretty helpful and it's quite simplistic, but it's not too bad.
eh.
I can't buy it anyway because U.S.
whenever I read "whats in the box?", it's always in Brad Pitts voice.
Please be excited.

I would jump at it but considering I owe most everything from that company except a few really recent titles, I think the chances of getting nothing but duplicates is really high. Plus is the Europe only.

You guys need to think bigger!
FFXV, Rise of the Tomb Raider, Kingdom Hearts 3, Just Cause 3, Life is Strange, new DE
this is their equivalent surprise for us PC gamers for the FFVII PS4 release

Your analysis of TW2 seems sound (I'm ashamed to say I still haven't beaten it, so I can't say myself), but I feel like they have a lot more invested in TW3. Maybe I'm wrong, but all the marketing deals and endless hype make it seem like they are really pushing for huge numbers and I feel like if there's a major backlash it would completely destroy their company. I don't know that they will delay it, but I think if they were doing a major downgrade by now they'd know and would be trying to temper expectations somewhat.
All that said, the internet will always find something to complain about, and that doesn't in any way represent typical gamers, so who knows if it will really matter or not. As we know, there are people who thought the graphics in TW2 weren't good, while the general consensus was that they were some of the best of the generation.
They've stated The Witcher 3 will have a bunch of free DLC as well. I don't think anyone can question CDP's post release support history. But if the game isn't an initial success who knows what will happen. I know personally there's no way I would have a pre-order copy if not for the cheap RU version.

Ah why not, it's only £5.
Don't give us too high hope, higher hopes will just disappoint us more.
Pretty much how I feel too

Even bigger: The Christmas surprise box is meant to usher in the era of Square-Enix distributing Valve titles at retail and it includes Half-Life 3 and Left 4 Dead 3

Why did no one tell me that Electronic Super Joy got new dlc? http://store.steampowered.com/app/317770/
this would be excellent continuation of "SE the trolling masters present!" ... only these have to be steam games
but I'll give you 8/10 for effort

Ordered the SE mystery box, hope it has FFXIII and FFVII and FFXIII

That guy is my hero! This is how I play Elite at the moment
Much cheaper setup but great nonetheless, can't wait for the Occulus consumer version
Yes we like our Simulators, especially the space type
(The head tracking is great in Euro Truck Sim 2 too but really takes some time to get used too)
Edit: And I'm also using Voice Attack for spoken commandos, cool stuff
I use a PS3 Eye cam for the headtracking and voice recognition, works really well
This man speaks the truth!
The sad thing is that my two most played games this year are both not on Steam (Elite and Hearthstone), kind of Ironic.

No, they send the key around xmas, it's a mystery until then.

Last year was ok, hope this year is too.
no, they'll send it on 18th of December. Don't any of you people read before buying?! (><)
Well, we won't know if it's a bad surprise until they reveal what we're getting.
But..
Everyone knows, that everyone in the future will only use multi-functional-multi-configurable touch screens with Dragon Glass™. Because Star Trek and dozen other Sci-fi shows/movies were right, they never used a joystick to control their space vehicle.
Joking, that is an awesome setup man. I wish I'll have something on those lines, by the time Star Citizen is released.

Of course I read it, but they say you can only order it until the 18th, I think it doesn't say they'll send the key on that date.
Actually I didn't read shit :|

Thanks! Overall the stuff I use wasn't that expensive but still good bang for the buck.
I couldn't justify too spend to much on this, after all it will only get used on a handful games.
I own Star Citizen but still haven't played it once yet
I really should give it a try in the near future.I KNEW IT!!! you Germans are crazy!!!!
We just love good organized and efficient fun!
But for realz stuff like Elite is sooo much more fun with the right controller setup. Pushing the throttle forward is a thousand times more satisfying than pressing a button on the keyboard or trigger on a X360 controller

I haven't really been SUPER impressed with next-gen console yet, but damn UC4 looks nuts.
no, that's misleading wording yet again, you still get to know only after delivery, meaning on 18th of December.

Same for me, I think most of it comes from playing on PC for the last few years were games looked "next-gen" 3 or 4 years ago.

Yeah, this stuff is really dumb and as far as I know not a law thing. I mean I can buy mature games on Steam and most other services all day long but for some reason you can't on Uplay for example.
And it's pointless anyway, if some kid wants that game it will just purchase it after eleven o'clock.

Looks like something Nintendo would do.
UC4 has a very sterile look, imo. I think the game looks fun, but a lot of the textures and geometry are simple. As always, the art budget is pushed towards eye catchers, features like character models and ocean backdrops. Meanwhile, ambient terrain textures and models, things your eye won't dwell on too long, are low quality.
If you want something on PS4 that looks nuts, you should look at Bloodborne.
I'm also still impressed by Smash. They did a great job on that.

my e-mail with confirmation clearly states, I don't get any info till I get the e-mail with games. So it is unfortunate wording yet again, ya, but I'll check the store page again later to be sure.
edited: just checked my account on store, the same, no info, although... some things can be assumed by package having 18 PEGI rating, let guessing commence (><)
I can confirm that no info are inside the confirmation email (and why would they? it would spoil the whole thing for everybody), so it's just an unfortunate wording.
