Hoping everyone cancelling their Tesco orders will guarantee mine!

I'm glued to BF3 at the moment anyway, so I won't be too disappointed if I have to wait for Monday. Any later than that though and I will definitely start geting rowdy!

WAIOT MY ORDER WITH SHOPTO WONT AUTHORISE!!!

TRYING PAYPAL ZOMG

Not bothered about getting mine early tbh, i will not play it before about 6pm on friday anyway.

^^ Did you have the capslock on when entering you password?

Will Steam let us installed it from disks before midnight? With Shogun 2 it wouldn't let me install till midnight and then there was a small download as well. Wasn't happy with steam that night!

No news from Simplygames yet. Hoping they'll send it tomorrow and would be happy to receive it on Thursday just so I have peace of mind knowing I can play on Friday.

Concerning the strategy guide:
Prima Blog

"This weighty tome clocks in at 656 pages. It is around 550,000 words. It has over 150 maps and well over 1,000 screenshots. It has an interactive online version with a malleable world map (and an iPad map app)"

Oh My God; apparently the world has 350+ primary locations, which is 250-odd more than Fallout 3!!!

If only it was available to purchase...

Pighardia · 8 Nov 2011 at 19:13

I don't usually go for guides but i would definitely get this, i can't find it anywhere though, is it being released at a later date?

Seems they have all sold out. No idea if there are going to be more

As I said earlier, gamestation are selling it. I ordered this morning and they have already dispatched it

Pighardia · 8 Nov 2011 at 19:34

Actually, £17.99 might be a bit steep. Am I being unrealistic to expect to get one for around a tenner?

weyland yutani · 8 Nov 2011 at 19:35

Dont know anything about this game or it's history, is it an RPG? It looks abit like Game of Thrones meets LOTR.

Normal one should be a tenner, collectors edition should be £15.

The prices seem to be inflated because there arent many of them.

My payment to shopto went through and I got email confirmation, but my account hasnt been updated with the order yet

That isn't the CE though - I would want the code for free access to the interactive world map

Still tempted to get that though!

Seriously??

Yes it is an RPG, have you played Fallout 3? it is very similar in structure. You can basically do whatever and go wherever you want and the world is massive! There is also a story to follow but the main draw of teh game will be exploration and side-quests.
