Lucky! I'd go all 1TB SSD's if I could afford it.

Yeah, it was the second most expensive part of this rig, behind the Gfx card. No regrets!

 

[MNC]

Just do one C, I think, Partitions are for the old people ;_;

Is it really? Does it really have no benefits? What about data recovery or whatever?

 

[raviolico]

Question - if I were to purchase the game digitally from the UK but via the US Marketplace (as all games are region free) and then played it, would I be banned for playing earlier than my region should be?

:/

11 years on XBL, I realllly don't want to be banned for something as silly as that.

No you'll be fine.

Thanks. However, I will hunt you down if you are wrong.

 

[CyanideFuse]

I was hoping to play the game on Tuesday (I am in the UK) but having read the [INSERT SITE NAME HERE DIDN'T HAVE A CLUE AS TO THIS BEING AN ISSUE BUT I GUESS IT WAS AND IS] email it looks like I won't get my key until a day before release here (14th).

Spoiler

And then I have to download it using carrier pigeon to bring me the data.

I don't know why we have to wait. It won't be easy reading this thread next week for the 3 days I can't play.

Purchased PvZ from Europe via the US store and got to play it before the local release, and I am still living.

There is a lot of people, including me, that do this since the beginning of this generation.

Anybody managed to get a copy of the game now ?

I don't think the servers are even up yet.

Don't listen to him. Partitioning makes sense for when you want to cleanly reinstall your os without wiping all your data.
I always use a small 80gig c partition for this usecase.

 

[Shadders]

Have we had any news on digital pricing for this?

It's £42 on Amazon, but I'd rather have the digital version.

 

[Principate]

But to mention the fact that you really don't want to do a lot of rewriting on an ssd. They do have a limit to how many times it can be done. The limit is high, but it is there.

I doubt that matters all the much, in the time it'll take for a SSD to use up it limited writes (I researched around 10 years for mine) the chances are your HDD would also have failed or had some issues. It's specific to the type also. And on the guy referring to the size, It's clearly an older SSD, SSD's weren't always the price for GB they are now, nor were they as reliable for the lower price.

- Gamespot: Titanfall will have free/paid DLC and season pass

Zampella was non-committal about the recent Reddit leaks (which included images of ziplines and heavy turrets) saying, "I haven't read it all, so I can't say if some of it's incorrect or not. But at some point you just have to throw up your arms and say, 'Alright, you got us. It is what it is.'"

We'd also heard that the game may include a season pass, which Zampella confirmed. "We're going to do paid DLC. We're also going to do free updates. There are things that we want in the game that we didn't get to ship in the final game. So we'll add private matches and things like that for free. There will be some paid DLC. We're going to do a season pass just because if you buy it up front, it's a deal. We're not going to do microtransactions. You just buy it up front, and you get a better price."

Regarding the game's multiplayer campaign: "You play it from both sides. It's a short experience meant to be a couple hours on each side, and then you never have to touch it again. You can replay it, but you don't have to. You can go right into multiplayer."

Calling something that is going to be added in a future update "free DLC" is ridiculous.

 

[The Elite]

In the quote Zampella refers to them as " free updates" so I think that's just the author of the article.

Free downloadable content isn't free DLC? I'm confused. Be careful trying to make terms mean more than the people who used them in the first place think they mean.

 

[Guy LeDouche]

If you got the $250 Collectors Edition, don't worry, you'll get to pay for the DLC too

 

[TechnicPuppet]

Have we had any news on digital pricing for this?

It's £42 on Amazon, but I'd rather have the digital version.

If you are comfortable doing so you could setup a US payment based in Oregon linked to paypal. Game will then be around £34 and you get it early.

In UK I think it will be £50-£55.

Updates aren't free DLC,

 

[ElRenoRaven]

Updates aren't free DLC,

Yup. Updates are not DLC. To think they are is insane. Because If so then almost every game last gen and so far this gen has had free DLC because they had updates.

 

[derFeef]

Dpends what those Updates contain, no way to judge this right now.

Haha, way to sell it Vince.

Might be. Sorta... no you're likely right. They will charge for meaningful content.

 

[mcrommert]

Wrong thread...oops

 

[Woo-Fu]

Updates aren't free DLC,

Updates that add content, updates that you download, updates that are free are free DLC.

What part of free, downloadable, and content is confusing?

 

[Proven]

I guess it comes down to whether or not you consider private servers content or a feature.

 

[PoweredBySoy]

What a horrible time for me to be getting sucked back into Diablo.

Nothing left to do now but get a divorce and quit my job.

 

[Woo-Fu]

I guess it comes down to whether or not you consider private servers content or a feature.

New features are content. If there is a private server option that ships with the game and is broken that they then fix after release then it is just a patch.

If the feature isn't there at all at release then it is new content.

 

[HelloMeow]

If the feature isn't there at all at release then it is new content.

So if an ordinary update adds an arbitrary new feature, it's free DLC?

 

[Mechazawa]

So if an ordinary update adds an arbitrary new feature, it's free DLC?

Private rooms are not an arbitrary new feature.

But the main point, and I don't know why Woo-Fu keeps fighting this, is that private rooms are something that should be expected in the first place and calling it "Free DLC" is disingenuous at best, even if technically correct.

But it's all moot since Vince Zampella never called it "free DLC"

 

[Lothars]

I tweeted pretty much anyone that I could asking but is it known if there will be a season pass / titanfall bundle on xbox one?

 

[Deleted member 22576]

If its content and you download it for free, I'm gonna go ahead and say yes.

If they do it digitally, I'm in for this day one.

 

[E92 M3]

The owner of the company I work for basically told me I work too hard and need to take a 2 week vacation starting from Monday. I wasn't even going to take off for Titanfall, but this is all falling into place now lol. Such weird circumstances with all of this; I was taken back haha.

 

[BruceLeeRoy]

Somehow missed this OT. Fantastic job Odd One. Very clean.

Now to see if this game can do the impossible and pull me away from BF4.

 

[monome]

nope. so far the digital combo is Origin exclusive.

I'm not counting out a digital deluxe version hitting X1 online store on march 11th tho.

if you're talking retail, then no. why would they bother with a different sku?

 

[Lothars]

Yeah I just wish they would say, I mean there's presidence that dead rising 3 had a bundle day one.

Sorry I am only referring to the online xbox one store, I wasn't referring to retail.

 

[monome]

I suppose, but only suppose that including the digital version of TF with the new X1 pack killed the digital deluxe edition.

that and X1 doesn't really need any incentives.

Season pass is 5$ off. Digital combo would have to end up being a 10$ off discount.
MS has already put a lot behind TF, I don't think they need to stretch it to 5$ more.

tho, I like the idea of a one-click purchase. and digital deluxe is the new Super Turbo.
Name itself implies you're buying the best version ;-)

 

[Ceebs]

So are the PC keys region free? Meaning, could I buy a key from Nuuvem and be fine?

Yo didn't notice the 60fps trailer download in the OP till now

Yeah, if you want to to knit pick then yes, you can download it and it can contain new content, but when I hear "DLC", I think of expansions, map packs, weapons and content like that.

Saying there will be free DLC, while in reality it's just ordinary updates, creates false hope. So saying that was a bit of a stretch on Gamespot's end.

If I buy digitally from the US store then switch locale back to UK - reckon the game will still work?

 

[Deleted member 22576]

I'm experiencing Titanfall nesting syndrome. I was just thinking I should clean my mouse and lubricate its feet before this game arrives.
