Agreed. Too many "exclusive" pre-order offerings and not enough planning. If you read the official forums there are even people complaining about the DLC being corrupt after downloading and crashing the game. :(
Sucks to see what looks like a good game plagued by a poorly organized launch.
Wording is way too vague. Bascially allows EA to deem just about anything a violation.
Yeah, goof with the back end settings. Doh. Should be viewable with no issues.
Looks like GameStop has pulled all copies and is now offering refunds to prior purchasers.
Personally I wonder how GameStop stores are going to handle all the people either demanding a refund since they didn't get the whole product or doing a credit card chargeback if GS refuses to refund.
I'm playing through it a second time (third time through the Detroit Hub) and still finding new areas/things that I didn't see when I did the review run.
Did not expect this one to be as much fun as it is.
I had assumed this was going to be one of those "token only" things. I suppose we'll find out soon enough when the Gears 3 review events start up later this month.
Free is always good. :)
Glad it's not a pre-order exclusive somewhere.
Gameloft usually takes an idea and makes their own version of it. This looks like a straight up copy, art assets and all.
Both games have their place. Just because you play more than one franchise doesn't make you a hater. ;)
Not really fair to say everything is doom and gloom. Same site posted a positive story about Sony's Welcome Back program this morning.
N4G won't let me post the N4G link in comments, but you can see it as one of the top 5 stories in the PSP section right now.
News isn't good or bad. It is just news.
It's *really* hard to go wrong with LBP. I don't know anyone who doesn't like it. It's one of those games that you can play with casual gamers and get them hooked. "Gateway game" ;)
Here's hoping that Sony can deliver on the promise of the video.
We were playing on a local network so no way to test lag. I suspect that lag issues (if they exist) will be identified during the multiplayer beta.
PSN = Feb 8.
XBLA = Feb 9.
Game is totally worth it. Actually quite suprised that Sony ponied up to include it in PlayStation Plus. Good deal for anyone who subscribes though.
@Dsnyder How, exactly, is a review that runs the day a DLC pack releases, considered "late?"
Or do you just enjoy trolling? ;)
Will it allow normal controls? Didn't know if CoE was going to be Kinect enabled or Kinect exclusive.
I've been waiting for something like Child of Eden since I first fired up Rez in my Dreamcast. Hopefully it doesn't disappoint.
Yeah, the console versionswere nothing to write home about. Still, somewhat odd that the publisher would announce it and then have the franchise head come out and say it never existed. Why even bother announcing in the first place?
