Was going to get it in Game myself for the DLC until they offered me all of 9 euro for trading Gears Of War 3 needless to say I declined their generous offer

I highly doubth it.. But would be awesome.. I am going to pick up the Genki Edition in 20mins so should be playing in about an hour or so

Can't wait, this game looks epic

EDIT: maybe you may be right, just spotted this:

MW3 can SMB it's going back to where it came from..

Bought it, played it for an hour now have to go to work. Pure fun. The game is GTA IV's crackhead brother.

Robby91 · 18-11-2011 6:38pm

Damn it all... went into GAME to pick up my PC pre-order, and they didn't have it in stock at all (but they did have console stock, and they said I could ring them in the morning to see if they had it delivered - they can f*** right off, I wasn't gonna wait if I could help it) so I end up with no Professor Genki stuff which is kinda disappointing since the Octopi(sp?) Gun and Ethical Reality Climax looks bloody brilliant.

Then, on my way home, exciting to get stuck into the game, my brother texts me looking for a game of Battlefield 3... and I feel kinda bad about refusing to play some BF3 with him all week since I haven't been in the mood for any gaming at all, so I told him I would... :mad:

tl;dr No pre-order content and further delays in playing make Robby91 frustrated

Zero-Cool · 18-11-2011 6:46pm

Happened to me twice, preordering with game and then they didnt get the game in stock for release day. Worst games shop ever and I refuse to give em another penny

tbh, I like GAME for the most part (in Limerick City at least) - the staff seem a good bit more helpful (in my experience) than in GameStop, but this is the second time that they haven't had the PC version in stock and GameStop did.

At least I emptied the contents of my reward card when I purchased BF3 so I'm not at any great loss :pac:

aN.Droid · 18-11-2011 6:54pm

Prefer HMV over game or gamestop any day of the week.

Also this game is bloody insane :eek:

Robby91 · 18-11-2011 6:57pm

HMV in Limerick City have a really poor selection of PC games, so they're not really an option (they're selling a keyboard which takes up about half the shelf space they've given to PC games, just to give you an idea :P)

Also this game is bloody insane

Stop teasing me ;_; I have to download ~1.5GB of content before I can play... FFFFFFFFFFFUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUU-

AH92 · 18-11-2011 7:09pm

Guys I ordered it from gamestop online does that mean I get any of the dlc's?!! Thanks

Not hugely impressed by SRT to be honest

phobia2011 · 19-11-2011 12:53am

seems a little bit too futuristic to me!

aN.Droid · 19-11-2011 5:22am

Played for three hours tonight, not as good as I thought it would be but then what is? Don't get me wrong I am enjoying the heck out of it way more then gta IV

Map is very small i thought too. From one end to the other in about 3-4 minutes.

thebostoncrab · 19-11-2011 10:42am

Are achievments not unlocking for anyone else?

Walking or rocket car? Thats a big difference in size

Have to say the driving physics are terrible, worse than or equal to SR1. SR2 had a better driving physics model.

Really takes from a game with alot of driving involved.

Noticed that myself. Very poor indeed.

On a whole I'd have to say I prefer SR2. Very unimpressed so far. Played for a bit last night and my save game said 30% complete or something, thought it was a bit ridiculous when I had very little game time played.

Also not impressed with the missions. What were secondary missions or optional activities in SR2 seem to be main missions in this game.

Also I've no motivation to play the extra activities now since they're not required to earn enough respect for the next mission

Really disappointed. It's fun, and some new additions are very nice, but it's a very small step from SR2. Seems a bit like an expansion pack rather than a whole new game.

Potential-Monke · 19-11-2011 6:40pm

Played it for about 2 1/2 hours this morning, and it's meh. Funny? Yes. But the driving is terrible. I thought it was just the car i was driving, but it's every car. Maybe it was hyped up too much, but it's just not right at the moment.

I think i'll be trading this for Skyrim tomorrow... Come back to it next year sometime.

Damo 2k9 · 19-11-2011 7:31pm

Regarding the genki stuff, I didnt pre-order it and it still came with it. I bought one for my mate aswell and his was the same so must come with all of them.

The game, I think its fun. The first few missions seem to introduce you to the activitys rather than the storyline which I dont really like. Looking forward to playing co op with a few mates.

Same here. DLC cheats made me wait and judging by the reaction, I'll be waiting a while and getting it when it's cheaper on Amazon.

calex71 · 19-11-2011 10:43pm

I put it in last night to see what it was like, as a break from skyrim and after only playing the heist mission at the start and what I've read here I'm in no rush back to it I to be honest.

Is it a case "style'' and off the wall stuff over substance?
