    I just traded in my pro for the special edition.

    The 2 games they took off me were pro evo 2015 and killzone shadowfall!

    Happy days

    Traded in Forza Horizon for it.

    20 quid in return for a game i haven't touched in well over a year is a steal.

    Just seen COD MWR is on that trade in list for gamestop. I've a copy gathering dust on a shelf so to get God of War for 20 quid with it is brilliant. Hopefully there'll be a few copies left come Saturday because that's the earliest I'll be able to get it.

    The offer is just on preorders, isn't it?

    Im not sure when it finishes but you have to ask at the counter. Its not on the site. Give your local one a buzz be your best bet.

    Seriously considering going for a nap and getting up around midnight. This was the best plan ever.




  • Hyped for tomorrow. Won't get to play until the evening tho :(

    Asked my wife to go in to Gamestop a couple of weeks ago to preorder this for me. Just noticed the receipt as limited edition but no final price on it. Maybe it will be the statue one :D She cant argue with me as she did the ordering, right??


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 856 ✭✭✭Battleflag


    Game was waiting for me when I got in. Installing now, pouring myself a beer and getting ready to dive into this beast!

    This tweet would lead me to believe no, it's for any purchase not just pre-orders.

    Just got a call from GS on my preorder of the LE, was told the trade in offer will work on that version, but will cost €30 rather than the €20 for the standard.

    Some people are just arseholes.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 9,795 ✭✭✭sweetie


    Just got text saying game is ready for collection. It'd be closed by the time I get there :(


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 13,409 ✭✭✭✭gimli2112


    Coming from Bloodborne flipping the x and o buttons around certainly helps me.
    Really getting the feeling they are developing the characters very well, I'm starting to root for them already which is a very good sign.

    Bloody hell can't open youtube homepage with almost seeing spoilers

    Wow. I've never worked on a single project for 5 years so I can only imagine the relief he feels in that video. Fair play

    That's pretty cool actually. He must have known he had a pretty good game but you'd never be 100% sure how the critics react and then to see it change from 93 (which was beyond expectation I'd say) to 94.
    Just looking at metacritic now and the surprising thing is there's only 8 negative user reviews out of 83

    played a few hours of it so far it's very good

    Is it similar gameplay to the previous ones?


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 3,783 ✭✭✭heebusjeebus

    No, looks to be more like Last of Us crossed with Dark Souls.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 13,409 ✭✭✭✭gimli2112

    Don't think so, I did find myself thinking it really is just a hack n slash type game but it done differently somehow. Having a long range attack also probably changes it up a bit now I think of it.
    The fixed camera makes it a very different experience to the previous games. It looks and plays awesome.


  • Registered Users Posts: 142 ✭✭hangar18_


    Got my smyths preorder in the post just now. Roll on 4pm


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 1,506 ✭✭✭Doctor Nick


    Might pick it up next week when paid. I'll keep an eye on thread for non spoilery info. Thanks

    I dont think that will happen somehow,they have raised the standards on this one technically at least (i havent played it yet) so they'll have to work off that benchmark going forward..


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 15,403 ✭✭✭✭Vicxas


    Picked this up this morning and played it for an hour.

    Have to say im very impressed so far. Combat feels chunky and feels like you're doing damage to people.

    Very excited for the rest of it.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 20,951 ✭✭✭✭2smiggy


    no Smyths pre order in today's post unfortunately
