I'll just wait here then... Group: Senior Members Posts: 882 Joined: 7-October 05 From: Florida, U.S.A. Member No.: 4,538 |
I almost pre-ordered the game just for these.
On a side note, 3D Dot Game Heroes is awesome! I downloaded a bunch of characters to test them out and so far my favorite is the main character from Persona 3. The game is chock full of some awesome/funny references to other games and the load screens are the best. This post has been edited by UnderSpaced: May 17 2010, 11:06 AM |

I played through the first couple of hours of Alan Wake on Saturday.
Was good. |

Alan Wake is basically Luigi's Mansion for adults. Still fun though.

Luigi's Mansion wasn't for adults?

I was going to get it from town but they wanted £40 for it which I'm not paying when Play are only charging £30. Guess I'll pick it up after I'm done with RDR. |

There's usually a few places that do. I've ordered mine from play (£37), and I often get stuff a day early. Hopefully get it on Thursday. Damn youse Americans and your crazy tuesday release dates.
I like the fact you can cheat in poker. That should be fun. |

Those certainly are a nice deck of cards.
Is the poker aspect of the game limited to offline play does anyone know? If I can play Texas Hold'em online with friends within the game it might just sway me into getting a copy sooner rather than when it goes down in price. |

In an interview where they were answering questions quite freely, they were asked about online poker and just said "no comment" instead of yes or no. Either it's not in and is never going to happen and didn't want to outright dissapoint fans, or it's going to be DLC at some point I reckon. Playing poker in playstation home works just fine, so getting it yo work in RDR should be a cinch.

I cancelled my pre-order on Amazon as I wasn't sure whether it would get here in time. I'll just head to Tesco's first thing Friday and pick it up I think. Metacritic is showing 95% so far with IGNUK giving it 98%!! Looks like my excitement is well founded. Roll on Friday. |

Metacritic is showing 95% so far with IGNUK giving it 98%!! Looks like my excitement is well founded. Roll on Friday. Metacritic is odd, I found out a while ago Its not a true aggregate score. It's a useful place to see all current scores but the overall metacritic score isn't an aggregate of all collected scores. The founder/staff assign a weighting to each website, so some reviews are worth more than others even if their scores are lower. Which is silly. Hope my order at least arrives on Friday.... |
