This just happened to me too. Trying to figure out what's wrong as it's definitely not my card, and my details are correct. Weird.

PSN is very anal when it comes to CC-details. You have provide your data exactly the way it is present at your CC-provider. I had to write the full name of my street to make it work. With "st." it did not.
That's a hard question to answer, not knowing what you like or don't like.
That said, the reception has been very good, and I would probably not even think about the price, rather think if your likes / dislikes align with the product.

Wow! This game is something special I must say. I won't post anymore now on to avoid spreading spoilery stuff to others.
Downloading! You guys that are getting stuck, do you really want someone to help you out right away?
Obviously to each their own, but I've seen several recommendations of NOT getting help. Think about it, sleep in it, go somewhere else on the island, etc.
I think if you just go looking for answers at every snag you'll deprive yourself of ine if the big draws of puzzle games.

Please, kind of losing my mind over here
Full whack, at least in the EU.
Im feeling a little bit o motion sickness, and I basically never feel like this with games. I feel like the camera isnt on the same pace as your movement. Anyone feeling like this?
Its not guesswork, they are actually easy.

Seriously though try PMing some reviewers quickly!
Edit: I know it's a long shot but it could work out for you.

I woke up at 3AM and I seriously want to know if I just bumbled my way into something huge or if I'm just freaking out over normal shit. I'm dying man I can't handle this
That's a shame. Still bought, but a little discount (Eg Galak-Z or Everybody's Gone to Rapture) would have been icing on the cake.

This game is unbelievable.
Is this game like Talos Principle in the sense that I will have to go see half the puzzle solution on YouTube...looks awesome but may be too hard and tedious for me(no patience for stuff like this)
If you plan on doing that then I would say skip this as you won't get much enjoyment out of it. From all the review/previews it seems like half of the interest in the game is due to the discovery when you complete puzzles and the feel good feeling you get when you finally get over a hurdle that has been blocking you.
If you think you'd be Youtubing a lot of solutions you should probably just watch a lets play for now. The Witness also sounds like it has a lot less story than TTP so you want have the rewards of story beats once you complete a puzzle either.

I haven't played it yet, but going off of the Giantbomb Quick Look, it does seem like those 2D puzzles are how you activate everything in the world. However, it's not as simple as going to a screen and completing the maze. They mention and even show a little bit of how the environment and prospective are eventually used in the completion of those 2D mazes. I recommend going and watching the Quick Look of the game if you're on the fence about it. It doesn't show off too much but you definitely get a sense of how the game starts to progress and gets more complicated, even though Brad insist that it's just the tip of the iceberg on how they change things up.

I'm gonna lose my shit if I just bumbled into something massive immediately but I'm gonna lose my shit even harder if it turns out it isn't even a big deal. AHHH

I'm a fair few puzzles/hours in now and stumped at two different locations! Will go explore some more and see what else I can find.

About an hour and a half. Stuck on
some shape block stuff in a building past a yellow bridge
some puzzles that seem to be about grouping secondary colours and their components
I also seem to have a bug that upon
crossing a moving bridge back and forth I can't seem to get back across it.

How long have you been playing, or panels solved?

I was gonna suggest this as well. He seems to have played pretty extensively pre-release.

There ought to be a dedicated spoiler thread for this game.

I don't think I skipped a puzzle all the way through my first completed region but then the next place I went to I couldn't figure out a single thing there so I just left. So maybe about 45-60 minutes in for me. Even completing a ton of puzzles after that I still don't know what I do in that second region I went to so I haven't bothered trying to go back.
It likely really just depends what direction you go out of the tutorial-ish section. People have talked about tree puzzles and I know what they're referring to based off of a picture posted before the game was out but I haven't seen those puzzles yet. I don't want to describe the groups of puzzles I've been doing so as to not hint at the theme but I've been going strong since leaving that second region I came to.
Based on your last few posts, I think you may have already lost your shit
Hopefully you haven't discovered a major thing so early on, as it might dispense some of the intrigue and discovery you may have otherwise experienced. Then again, may be you were just keen enough to notice, and that's a good thing?
I have no idea, but below post sounds like the same as you. Ask him

How do we check the amount of panels solved?

Not long, but I guess that's sort of meaningless since the game is so open ended.

That's what I'm worried about. I don't know how I'm gonna feel if I waited this long for the game only to walk right into something major entirely on accident. On the other hand it's cool the game is making me feel this way and I'm sure I'm overreacting, BUT

God damn it. About to start playing but this was my biggest fear. Even posted on it yesterday. Unfinished Swan made me so ill, now I'm having a feeling this will do the same.

Got that bunker puzzle done. Felt great after it lol
The same thing happened to me 6 months ago.
On PSN, if you try change card details multiple times in quick succession, or make too many purchases quickly, PSN deems your card a 'risk' and locks it off their system for 5 working days.
There is nothing you can do.
They won't unlock it.
If you try to change your card details again, the 5-working-day fraud check sequence starts again.
Basically buy an Amazon or CDkeys.com voucher. Just as fast, often cheaper than full value, and very secure. I now make 95% of my PSN purchases using vouchers like this, since I had the same thing happen to me. You get the code right there in your browser. It's really fast.
