Hope ye get yer copies sorted soon.

Lads.....Laaaaaaaaaaaaaaads this is epic. I can't believe I'm playing it. Readable subtitles and pausable cutscenes are such a subtle bonus in 2020.

You are making me want a copy of the game.

Chapter 2 done and i love it. The music, graphics, combat, all excellent that has a whiff of nostalgia but it's a completely new game. There's so many layers to the combat, it's really satisfying getting into a flow of attack, switch, ability, switch, magic, attack, etc. Also the enemies seem less spongey than the demo which was my biggest complaint of it.

I died once so far as i didn't take a new eventt seriously, good to see the choice of loading, a save file, starting from last section or starting from start of the last battle. Gets you back into the action nice and quick and skippable cutscenes are great as well. Can't wait to get stuck into it more.

You're probably the biggest culprit in here for getting me to buy games I hadn't intended.

You bastards, i hate all you physical feckers!

don't be too hasty, smyth's shipped my order yesterday but haven't provided a working tracking link, considering it went from order to shipped in until 3 hours I can forgive them for not putting in a working tracking number in the email/my account but I'm now sitting by the letterbox waiting/wondering if today's the day.

My postie has been and gone, with no FFVII I may add, mine went out yesterday, my link also does not work with tracking, could it be sent by DPD with Smyth's?

I normally only ever collect with Smyth's, never got anything delivered from them...

Doorbell rang. Never moved as fast in my life as the postie never rings unless there is a package.

Everyone can relax, my wife's makeup subscription box arrived.

So many emotions in such a short timeframe, you probably should lie down.

Gonna digital preorder this on Thursday night of my preorder doesn't show up soon.

Someone ripped the audio for the game, so you can listen before the soundtrack is released in a few days.

something similar here, doorbell rang, got down to see the postie at the house next door and said "Sorry, I rang your door by mistake"

I'm 8 hours in. Although I am enjoying it I do find the reactor 5 stuff is excessively padded.

I'm also disappointed in some of the visuals. Main characters look amazing and the combat looks great. But sector 7 looks weirdly last gen and uses a static backdrop image for the upper plate which I find a bit offputting. Reminds me of the Halo ring a little bit but in this fidelity it sticks out how the background is lower res than everything else and doesn't look right when you move the camera. Reminds me a little of how the backgrounds move in Duke Nukem 3D. It's not as bad as that but it's definitely not very good looking imo.

There are things I think that are incredible about the game, like that Airbuster fight. I want to grab a recording of it when I figure it out. But assets are sadly very inconsistent and don't always give the impression that this is a AAA game. Especially next to the likes of what we've seen from God of War, Gears 5, RDR2 and so on.
