Jesus Christ, I thought I was excited and then watched the IGN review, absolutely **** giddy for 12am.

SuperBowserWorld · 11-05-2023 01:54PM

I can't believe it's getting such great reviews AND I've avoided all the spoilers ... except what was in the recent trailer and that short walkthrough the producer did. A win win 😁

Complately avoided all spoilers apart from the trailer. Going in blind. Knocking off work shortly, should have it on within the hour. And the missus is away until Saturday.

I'm sat here looking at the box and stuck on meetings all day - torture. Maybe I should just invent a power cut or something 🤣

Junior just home from school. Gona get first look at it together. Can't believe those reviews. Amazing.

tbahh · 11-05-2023 02:40PM

First impressions. No spoilers, don't worry!

If you have played Breath of the Wild, it is very familiar. It will get you thinking outside the box on how to do things. I would be spoiling it more if I go into more details but there is, thus far, a nice blend of both old and new.

The idea of being able to throw a stick with a barrel attached in a clutch is everything I never knew I wanted.

Got mine in the mail today:

That df review has me almost reaching for the wallet. I think I’ll try hold off a week or 2 and get botw finished first though. It looks amazing.

They've fixed that now. The banner is gone.

Went into smyths to get my collector edition, apparently no stock until tonight :(

What did you think would happen? :D

Are they doing a midnight launch?

The Nal · 11-05-2023 04:05PM

Couple of hours in. Its huge!

CastorTroy · 11-05-2023 04:23PM

Only 96 on metacritic? Preorder cancelled!

Speaking of getting it early, I can't remember what game it was but I got notified by text that the game was ready for collection on a Thursday night so since I was nearby and Smyths didn't close until 9pm on Thursdays, I went over. But unfortunately it wasn't actually ready.

bren2001 · 11-05-2023 05:19PM

Pre-ordered from Smyths. It didn't arrive today ☹️

Tom Mann Centuria · 11-05-2023 06:02PM

My preorder from Smyths was waiting for me when I got in from work. Teeny tiny patch and away we go*, can't claim my points for it yet.

*Well, I said away we go, away it went when my son saw it, so it'll probably be 6 months before I see it again.

I’m the same

expecting it first thing though!

SuperBowserWorld · 11-05-2023 07:04PM

So, my daughter has taken the switch and the game just as I was about to play it. 😒

Sounds like someone who's just convinced themselves to get a second Switch.

SuperBowserWorld · 11-05-2023 07:09PM

Nah. The next switch we get here will be the new switch when it arrives and with a game worth getting 😁

CastorTroy · 11-05-2023 07:10PM

So the fact I just received the text telling me it's ready for collection is permission for me to just go there now and collect it by any means necessary?

srcmtrl · 11-05-2023 07:12PM

I just walked into my GameStop and cheekily asked if I could just grab my preorder now and they let me. Can't wait to play!!!

recyclops · 11-05-2023 07:23PM

I went for 2 pints after work in the nearby brewery not expecting my text until morning 😭😭.

Disaster

CastorTroy · 11-05-2023 07:40PM

Like i said earlier, the last time that happened and I went to Smyths to collect it I was told I would have to come back the next day. So no need to rush now.
