Bought it yesterday but couldn't play it, will try it today, hopefully it's good.
Europe? I don't think we get it in UK until Friday.
Any reason why you went 360 over PS3??

It's also available in the middle east on PS3 at least.
E-mailing GMG later today to ask if they're gonna have it for pre-order @_@
Not really, I want the DOA5U costumes for my Xbox version. :]
I will try it today after work.

Gonna play on Hard? I was contemplating Hard, but after recalling my past experience with Character action games on Hard difficulty...I'm gonna stick to Normal and do Hard on an NG+ >_>

This could be a fun hack and slash, although not at the level of the genre greats.
Normal, I play the first playthrough on normal difficulty usually.
Yes.
It includes the soundtrack, costumes in DOA5U for Hayabusa and Momiji, small comic book.

I'm sure this is one of those obscure games GAF will attempt to convince everyone that "It's good" when in reality is probably more of a regretful $59.99 + tax not well spent.

Great! So I can pre-order anywhere and I'll be safe? Awesome! Was already wondering why only 1 store here mentioned the SE.

I don't live in the US but got games from amazon.com with no issues.
Just keep in mind that DLC are region locked.

Legit good. To say I went in with insanely low expectations would be untrue but admittedly to say I went in thinking 'this will be brilliant!' would be a lie as wellWhat I got was a damn solid shooter with one of the best atmospheres of any game released last year and some of the best writing/story telling of any game after The Last Of Us. I think it's an excellently written/voice acted game that got overlooked due to being Lost Planet 3 basically. The relationships between the characters and especially Jim and his wife were excellent, it's also one of the most laid back shooters I've ever played, something I loved about it. (I could go into a whole fuckin spiel as to why I liked it but I won't, irrelevant to this thread!)
I'm sure some folk hate it (and some do think it's boring as shit) but I loved it so I can't go into Yaiba hating Spark Unlimited at least or at least using them as a hate factor. Doesn't mean it'll be any good but they aren't a factor for me in looking down on it.
Well that's me sold. I just ordered a copy from Amazon. Thanks for the feedback, I dismissed it as garbage at the time, guess I was too hasty...
Now watch you end up hating it lol
If you want to catch a glimpse of the voice acting/writing then someone made a 'movie' with all the cutscenes. You may not want to spoil yourself but just in case you want a quick looksy.

That's cool as it shows it's part of the NG universe.
Momiji makes an appearance in this game as well.

I imagine this is going to be like Splatterhouse (2010) in more ways than one.

Let us know what ya think!
OK, once you start the game you will get an achievement directly, 3 seconds later you will get another one, more seconds later and even a new one.
- You can't change control settings.
- There's a finisher if you hit the enemy certain amount of hits, but I didn't like it, it stops your pace and some of them require QTE like God of War.
- The game is way harder than what I expected (playing on normal), died twice in the first stage and 6 times on the 2nd. :|
- There are many types of enemies.
- There is platforming.
- The game uses comic style sometimes.
- Voice acting is strange/bad.
- There are some puzzles.
- First 2 stages were good/fun but not that good, I didn't get used to the fighting style even though it's simple so I need more time.
I think we'll see many 7s.

I'll try to go in with as much an open mind as possible. Thanks for the link, but I think I'll just wait for the game to arrive...
I'm actually surprised by how excited I am to play it.

2pm today apparently (GMT that is)
I see! Thanks
Reviews most likely will be bad, but if it's fun to play, I'm totally getting it on steam, not at the ridiculous present price, though
Whilst I don't pay attention to reviews in general in all honesty I can see this game as being an easy whipping boy for the press to dismiss and slag off. Of course it doesn't mean the game will be good either but it feels like one of those games the press won't get on with regardless of how bad or good it is. That's me just being very cynical as I usually am with anything related to the games press though.
I agree with your pessimism concerning reviews. There are so many games reviewers don't get. That's why I take impressions of gamers I know share similar gaming tastes with me over reviews any day.
I honestly think reviews could go either way. It could be great and ultimately get trashed anyway, like countless games just in the last 2 months. Or it could suck badly, but reviewers would end up loving it. They have very little attachment to advanced gameplay in NG or DMC, typically.
Whoa, that short?!
Is their much room for replayability ? I know there's the bonus side scroller style game as well included. Brawlers/beat em ups don't tend to be that long but it does make me wonder what else is their content wise.
Ground zeroes just looks even more attractive
, honestly if it's that short, shouldn't this just be a £15 downloadable title on PSN and live.
