You have gotta be fucking kidding me. If this game fails, no way I'm preordering from PSN anymore. This goes for any game that has pre-release review embargo.

Good. Hate stuff like that in games anyway.

So you have nothing to complain about then?
Don't you have to collect the Engima Codes to unlock the modes?

Yeah, I think so. There are
four Enigma codes, so maybe four unlockable modes
Okay cool, so..

15-16 hours. So I have to play this game again to unlock new modes. I don't know if I want to do this, lol. Especially when you know nothing about these unlockable modes.
999 mode
From Reddit, this is what you unlock after finishing the game, don't know how Perfect Dark missed it (perhaps he didn't find the collectibles) - EDIT: my bad, according to Perfect Dark, this mode is accessible immediately after the intro:
Beware, could be slightly spoilerish (edit: no major story spoilers):

But this guy seems to really like the game.
Well, spending $60 in advance and reading bad things about the game from early players, kinda left me pissed off.
The two story line thing is just the same but with a different character, but the player can access separate areas which aren't in the other story line.

Weird, pre-ordered a physical copy for X1 at Gamestop and the website still has May 23rd for release

You don't unlock this option. It's accessible from the beginning (after the intro)

Well, maybe the lesson here is that instead of being pissed of with the game, you should be pissed off with your lack of patience and insight.
Why the hell did you preorder the game? Couldn't you wait a week until reviews and user impressions come in?

Digital purchases on PSN/XBL are a rip off. I dont know why anyone would buy one. Unless its a smaller 10-15 eur title, i avoid them at all costs. I got TNO for 22 on PC so im not bothered if it turns out a bit duff. If id gotten it on PSN for 59.99, id be pissed.
No pre-load on steam is bullshit tho. Unlocks at 12 midnight, so i wont be playing it today.

This. I will never understand why some people will pre order games when there is no refund policy in place.
I have my copy pre ordered from amazon and for a good price but if I wanted to cancel at least I could.
Because I'm from Europe and I use US Store regularly. EU prices are a goddamn rip off. Americans get games for $60. We get the same games for 70 (or $96).
My only alternative is ordering from sites like VGP, but then I have to wait 2 weeks for the game to arrive.
Game looked really good in all gameplay trailers and I wanted access to Doom beta. Satisfied?

When I wake up greenman better have sent my key and steam better have unlocked the pre-load or I'll whine in this thread a bunch!
Please <3
Lots of mixed impressions in this thread. Kinda hard to tell if the game is good or not, I'm guessing it's somewhere in the middle
I enjoyed the 2009 game and I was planning to do a second playthrough a couple of months after I beat it but unfortunately my copy got stolen.
If this is better than the 2009 game, then it's a day one purchase for me. Game length seems very good and if the story is interesting I'll have a blast. Don't care if the stealth is broken, Metro Last Light, a stealth centric game, had a broken stealth system but was tons of fun and certainly my favorite FPS from last gen. If the gameplay is as awesome as shown in the promotional videos, I will definitely enjoy it

off-topic but it is ridiculous that you can't cancel a pre-order on PSN. Sony should fix that
Jeez people, calm down on the leaks. We have no idea how all of them link up, what they actually mean or better yet a real idea on how the game even plays. Just as bad as the Watch Dogs crap, everyone up in arms when no one bar reviewers have had a chance to play it properly.
I'm sure it will be a fine game, and if scores are really your dictator in enjoying games, well just wait until tomorrow.

I don´t know what people go on about here. The game looks great, and plays even better. Even the collectathon is fun and not a chore.
Example (spoilerish):
Example (spoilerish):
When you silently kill a Kommandant, it shows the collectibles as "?" signs on the map. But only the place, not at what height. So in on level, you are on the first floor, and no collectible to be seen. So it has to be either on the roof, or in the basement. No matter how and where you look, there is no way to get on the roof. But the basement only has one door, that says it can be only opened from inside. When you go hunting around, you see one of those destroyable crates. Totally dismantling it shows a metal grate behind. But no matter how you tackle it, it stays in one piece. Only by accident did I find out, that this grate can be destroyed by a mounted turret gun. And then you get inside and find the goods.

Yeah the game is fairly big, devs weren't bullshitting on that part. I think it took me well over 5 hours to reach Chapter 6. But really, the negatives posted here do hold some merit. Not everyone is going to like it and I can't see many reviews go past the 70 mark.
Wolfenstein series was mostly about guns blazing, but not this one. Its stealth focused. Stealth killing at least the commander gives away locations of secrets and defeats additional enemy spawns. You're quickly dead too, enemies aim well and you can't take many shots. But you really have to scavenge health packs, ammo and all that stuff. Thats what I like the most. The one issues I have is that the guns lack punch and the AI during shootouts, nothing that couldn't be fixed actually.
Hammer24: I think I know what you mean and I missed that one as well (chapter 3). I guess you have to have enemy spawns open it? Dunno.

When is the embargo up? How much is the digital pre-order on PSN in the UK?

Well from what I just read on Gamefaqs, one of the secret modes is
Don't know if this is common knowledge or not :/
a one life mode

Game is utterly fantastic in this regard. There are so many different ways to tackle a level, that can be combined in different ways. Really oldschool. Goodbye corridor dumbness!
No.
You can unmounts turrets by holding X. Take it with you, and destroy it. The grate even glows redhot in the places you hit it!

Yeah I understand now.
I was thinking about the door, because i CAN be opened as the game states. Albeit from the inside. But the Grate, yeah I saw it, chucked a nade on it and called it a day. Dídn't work. I might retry with the turret, but it prolly erases current progress.
Hmm, I would say save it for a second playthrough, but I´m not sure how the game handles this, if you keep the collectibles or are they going to be reset?
You need to install first disc & after that you will need to swap from disc 3 & 4.

Well, I haven't found all of the collectibles yet. There are unlockable modes but you won't get anything for completing the game (on normal difficulty at least).
