Isn't this a discontinued headset? They've had the X32's out for quite some time here, though I don't know if it's different in Europe.
If it's going to impact the price of the console, at least make it a separate SKU so people have the option. There's always an outcry about backwards compatibility, but what's the percentage of people that would really use it after the first 12 months are over? If it's high, then great, throw it in. But if it's low, then at best make it an option so everyone isn't paying more for a feature they'll never use.
Except that when they removed backwards compatibility, they dropped the price of the console. No one's pissed because the console is now half the price as it was when those features were in there.
GameStop ran out of preorders for it a couple weeks ago...
Completely agree Lab. The reviewer starts by saying he didn't play the first game, then complains that he can't follow the story. It's not a difficult story, but maybe even doing a Wiki lookup on the plot from D1 would have been helpful for him. Also, it's ridiculous to dock a sequel for problems you have with an entire franchise's story conceit.
Might be worth mentioning that Best Buy is doing this exact same promotion and, like the PowerUp program, is offering another 10% if you're a loyalty card member with them as well.
Both G4 and IGN will definitely benefit from some additional insight to the game through Chobot, but to say that either of those outlets will skew their review scores is probably pushing it a little. She doesn't necessarily have a vested interest in how the game does financially, just how her own performance is viewed. I'm sure both outlets will go out of their way to not mention the voice acting at all, just so they don't get bias claims.
From what I've read and seen in gameplay footage, Amy getting a 4 is generous.
Agreed. Only 5 1/2 more days!
Vercetti is definitely there, but I'm pretty doubtful on CJ. It's kinda hard to see Claude in there, as there's so many people that don't even know that's his name.
I've watched the video several times and didn't notice half that stuff. Nice catch.
I love how low consumption was 3rd on their list of reasons for this, behind the earthquake and supply chain issues. Pretty sure those first two didn't have as big an impact as putting out subpar games.
Before you penalize the developers of this game for a publisher action, do a little bit of research. Call your local game retailer if you must. The Ranger mode is NOT DLC! It's already included on the disc.
Deep Silver packaged this game like EA normally does. If you walk into a store tomorrow (or whenever it releases in your market) and ask for the game brand new, you'll get the Ranger mode. It is included on ALL first runs of the game. If you wait a few weeks/...
