i just cant phathom why its so much more as there is zero production and shipping cost and it takes away the pre owned market by a chunk which is what the games makers want .

The manufacturing and shipping costs aren't the issue, it's about giving retailers a reason to stock the game and if they're not able to compete, they might not bother.

Read a couple of reviews so far from Eurogamer and Polygon and they were pretty-much what I'd been expecting. A storyline and characters with little substance and a large, fairly detailed world that fails to really feel alive, but plenty of stuff to hack and lots of side-activities to do. Has to be worth a go at least and I'm sure I'll get a decent amount of enjoyment from it, but it's a shame it doesn't seem to have come very close to living up to what was shown off and promised all that time ago. That video of the shootout at the intersection truly impressed me but it's quite clear that an event like that is never going to actually happen the same way in the actual game.

I was expecting more to be honest, guess i've been sucked in by the hype.

I'd say 8/10 is excellent all things considering, a lot of people were very sceptical that this would bomb, myself included.

It's good to know it's actually a decent sandbox game.

I ordered a copy off Amazon yesterday instead of waiting for digital prices, knew they'd be ridiculous. Got it £19 (had a gift card on my account).

What does the season pass at £16.99 get me? Also, if anyone on Xbox One has it yet, are there any patches to download right away?

Read some reviews this morning, looks to be pretty good. I watched the E3 footage they originally showed too and looks nothing like that, but should hopefully be a good game still.

Patch is only 100mb if I recall
 
From glancing over the reviews it certainly seems like the kind of game I'll enjoy playing. It won't be a GTA-like masterpiece, but it should be enjoyable enough for the 30 or so hours I'll put into it. That'll be good enough for me.

That's my thinking too. Put all the hype and false promises to the back of my mind and just play the game and judge it based on what we've actually been given. It's been marketed quite aggressively so I think it'll end up being a reasonable sales success, so perhaps that'll mean WD2 delivers what WD hasn't.
 
Doesn't look like my tesco preorder will come today, just seen the postman come and go.

Seems the folks a few pages back were right :/
 
Seems to basically be a GTA clone with hacking - nothing really wrong with that. Very sandboxy which for me is sometimes a good or bad thing, I like distractions from a goal but always want that goal there - why I really enjoy GTAs...

Just watched the TB video and only real issues he sees with the game is how inconsistent it is in punishing you when you do bad things (i.e. you can mow people down without police being called but steal a car with the owner in it and you are likely to be chased). Sounds patchable...

Graphics on PC on Ultra are surprising though considering the spec you need - seems to be poorly optimised across all platforms

ps3ud0 :cool:
 
anybody know if any of the supermarkets are doing a decent deal ?

Didn't pre order a copy so looking for the best place to pick one up on the highstreet

they do this all the time. I got burned with a COD release and was warned at the time but ordered anyway as it was a good price. Tesco are often one of the cheapest places to pre order, but the massive size of their organisation means getting games to punters on release day is pretty low down their list of business priorities.

Was looking forward to getting this on the download this morning but not for £60. Got it from the forest for half that price so waiting another day won't hurt.

I've also given up going digital as if I have one disc I may as well have 100. Double price just is not worth it whether I have infinite money or not.
 
Still undecided about this. Even though ive read every review and watched a few hours of it on twitch.

I currently have it reserved at Argos but just don't know whether to get it or not.
