You're going to pass up one of the best games of the generation because it's too long? Seriously?
Click to expand...

most of the games, even today are too long for what they have to offer. i'd rather play a 3h game with no 'extra' BS like portal than a game that goes on forever and overstays it's welcome like Okami.

yes this is an RPG but i'd prefer 20h for the main quest and sidestuff for everyone who wants to do it.

Has anyone already reported on USB loader compatibility?


Well, at least I get the game :(

I'm tempted to get another CE (resell the game itself), and sell the artbook to a fellow gaffer. Anyone interested ?

Well, do you plan to start a bidding war for the artbook or do you have a certain price in mind? :p

Metro Online review [9/10]

The second one that accounts for Metacritic. They seem not thrilled with the British dubbing, but otherwise, they loved the game.

As I hope I do. Two/three days more...

If anyone is still looking to preorder the game, I've noticed that GAME have reduced the price of the regular edition to £29.99.

BEST DAY! Not only did they sent me an email this morning telling me the lower price will be charged they also sent me another one telling me it is going to process my card and dispatch to me! 4 to 6 Business Day Shipping. This wait is seeming to get more bearable and my pocket isn't going to hurt so much.

From the Email: "The order will be despatched by your chosen delivery method in time to reach you for the day of release." YES!

I don't even have words. I was expecting to have to call up Europe and fight them to cancel the preorder and update the price. Apparently not!

Concerning the CE artbook I have received some PM, I'll be shipping it for like 20bucks + shipping (perhaps less, depending of the quality of the product, harcover or not, etc...).

If interested PM me and I'll choose randomly. If I guet no response, then I'll choose another one, etc.

I thinks it's the most fair way, can't do better :D

Anyone know if game.fr ships to Germany? My boyfriend says he really wants that steelbook.

I don't think so. Do we know anything about the steelbook?

Apparently that's the limited artbook? So no Club Nintendo offer?

WE ARE GO FOR LAUNCH!

(Yes, I am somewhat excited. Not least because this falls just as I've polished off Saints Row and Sly 1 from the Collection)

Damn it! I got a email saying my card was blocked. I called my CC company to remove the block and now I have to call them? WTF?! I'm not spending $2 a minute to call the UK. Has anyone else had this issue? What did they do?

Use a calling card or SkypeOut? Those should work out cheaper than $2/min.

Use a VoIP service or buy an international calling card or something. It'll net you a much more reasonable calling rate.

Edit: Beaten like an old whore.

Oh shit, looks like I'm getting an extra copy. I didn't have a confirmation for the special addition order so I figured it never processed and I didn't show any activity on my card at the time so I reordered the game only version through paypal. Oh well, I'll sell it on eBay. I'm sure I'll find someone who'll at least pay $50 for it.

Try a different card

try ordering from Gamestation instead, they are owned by Game and accept Paypal. They have the special edition in stock...not sure if they do international delivery.
