The early gameplay videos looked amazing. The dialog was spot on and the interaction between the char was very well done. Looking forward to seeing how it turns out, and looks like I will not have to wait that much longer.

VPNs only work if different regions are on different schedules.

They're literally going to click the unlock button sometime after 10am tomorrow.

I'M GONNA GET YOU DUCK

I can't remember the last time I pre-ordered a game, but I loved reading all the Quarterly Reviews when those came out so if the game's strength is in its writing I'm definitely throwing down for it.

I'm down loading now. I've pretty much avoided all pre release content so hopefully will go in completely blank.

This looks really neat but I'm scared that there's going to be some dumb gimmick that ruins it for me. I hope there's no monster out hunting you like there was in Miasmata. Loved that game but the cat monster thing ruined the exploration and survival fun of it all.

The button will be pressed at the same time it was always going to be pressed, but now when it's pressed, it will be pressed for you.


Also there's no monster hunting you.

The gimmick is that it's narrative driven game and you cant shoot guns

somebody mentioned the framerate sucks for PS4? wondering if that's been reported anywhere else. I really cannot take another poo poo tier console release that runs at sub-25fps.

btw when I pressed the button to deploy I told the team "I told a guy on the SA forum that when I pushed the button I'd do it for him, so this is for that Something Awful guy."

For anyone else having trouble finding the game on the EU PSN store, it's on the front page of the EU browser store.

Holy poo poo I already love this game's teeny tiny little touches. A cache box near the very start contains a deer antler, and if you comment on it Henry calls it a horn as per its mouseover text, which irks Delilah so she corrects him. The mouseover text then changes to say 'antler'.

Super excited to get into this later tonight. I've watched way too much preview material, but I'm still loving stoked. Peeked into the settings real fast and saw there's an option to turn off the game showing you where you are on the map, and I'm assuming forcing you to rely on landmarks and the compass to navigate and I am 100% into that.

Farewell, good Hunter. May you find your worth in the waking world.

Any thoughts on the story yet? Some of the reviews I read said it's not what one would normally expect. One went so far as to say the ending was quite empty. I'd hate that. I'm absolutely stoked to play this and hope the story is just incredible and not zombies.

I thought it was quite good.

Without spoiling anything, there are some mysterious elements that lead you to wonder if the story is going in a number of directions throughout the course of the game, but the one they go with is totally earned and makes sense.

I read there's no bundle with the PS+ discount, so it actually works out to be about 50 cents cheaper buying them separately.

I'm getting a bit of stuttering on PC, but I don't think I've rebooted my computer and Firefox is eating 2GB of RAM or some garbage.

I couldn't make it past the opening sequence before having to alt-tab out and tell a friend "HOLY poo poo THIS loving GAME". Now all I have to do is to get off my rear end and get my Firewatch poster framed.
