Title: Pre-Ordered/Waiting for...
Post by: disgaeniac on August 01, 2012, 10:54:01 am
Just a thread to list games that you've already pre-ordered/are waiting for...

Right now, the only outstanding pre-orders that I have are for 2 of each of the Mugen Souls LE's coming out next month.

I have Ni No Kuni on pre-order. Considering pre-ordering the next God of War game but most likely Ill wait for the actual release. Even though the games are awesome, people start selling them off immediately on craig's list around here.

When is Ni No Kuni releasing & who's releasing it - NIS?

Studio Ghibli and Level-5 are the developers and Namco Bandai is doing the localization I believe, non-official release date is early 2013.

According to Amazon its coming out in January and I believe Namco Bandai is the NA publisher.

Sounds like Ni No Kuni might be coming out around the same time as Nisa's Witch and the Hundred Knights game, then :)

Anyone heard anything about a Ni No Kuni/PS3 Bundle coming out in NA?

@Jobocan will do. I withhold judgement and ignore reviews until I've actually played a game. Though I did check and I guess Famitsu gave it a 30/40. Plus it looks very Guardian Heroes and I'm all over that.

Anyone else looking forward to (maybe/hopefully/eventually) seeing the PS3 HD re-makes/re-masters of FF-X or Okami?

It's strange - I never preordered anything in the past, but ever since joining this site...  ::)

Had preordered and received:

The Last Story
Guild Wars 2

Have preordered:

Ni No Kuni (wizard edition so far, might do the steelcase, too)
Code of Princess (had not paid any attention to it 'till recently and am excited about the online co-op)
Borderlands 2
Persona 4: the Golden - Solid Gold Premium Edition

Considering preordering:

Harvest Moon: A New Beginning (x2?  damn those plushies!)

Waiting for, but will not preorder unless there's some sort of bonus:

Zero Escape: Virtue's Last Reward (had not heard of this at all until a friend who also loves 999 put it on her bday wishlist)
Professor Layton and the Miracle Mask
Paper Mario: Sticker Star

Im in the same boat. I will probably leave the wizard edition sealed up and play the Gamestop one.

Post by: desocietas on September 08, 2012, 04:29:57 pm
Hm... and maybe Torchlight 2, but I'll see how reviews are when it's launched.

Poor Torchlight 2 - it's gonna get lost in the mess of Borderlands 2 and GW2 and D3 already in full swing...

Just remembered to preorder Pokemon Black and White 2 along with the guide. Didn't realize that it was coming next month until I got the email from Nintendo about the new event Pokemon available at GameStop right now. Which I went and unlocked this weekend on both my Black and White copies, ha.

Not a real preorder... I bought Quantum Conundrum with two DLCs and the soundtrack a few hours ago for less than four bucks.

But the damn store ran out of keys... so now I have to wait until they get more. :(

Atlus just tweeted that the Persona 4: Golden - Solid Gold Edition is now sold out... I'm kinda surprised... Limited to 10,000 copies.

Anyone else preorder it already?  Guess I'm glad I did.  Will leave it sealed (especially since I don't even own a Vita).
Title: Re: Pre-Ordered/Waiting for...
Post by: desocietas on September 24, 2012, 03:50:14 pm
Ugh, ok, so Harvest Moon: A New Beginning has TWO pre-order bonuses... looks like I'll have to pre-order both versions and do the bad thing of returning one (or both) copies to the store.

http://natsume.com/store/games/3Dhmanb/index.html

They're just too adorable to pass up.

Also, how did I not know that Virtue's Last Reward had a pre-order bonus??? Amauriel, did you know?

Blegh... info here, but don't take my watch when I try to order it this Friday.  The bonus for 999 is going for some ridiculous price on eBay now, and I'm still kicking myself for not getting it.

The Legend of Zelda: Hyrule Historia
Anarchy Reigns

Also, I have a Backordered Pre-order on the Wii U, because the day they announced the price my one of my dogs got really sick, he had a seizure and temporally blind (turned out it was from a tick bite, he fine now), so I had to stay home that night, the next day, after work I went to gamestop to pre-order it and the pre-orders were taken off the computer 5 minutes before I got there, went home luckily I got a pre-order off of BestBuy.com and the next day I get an E-mail saying it's backordered. Also knowing mine is backordered and seeing people selling their pre-orders for $500+ pisses me off.

 :o 8)

As for me, I was just looking through NIS America's "Holiday Sale".

Considering that I have just about everything by them that I want - I was surprised to find something to actually order!

I'd heard of it, didn't pay much attention (not having a 3DS), and forgot about it...

Anyhow, they were listing Cave Story for $29.99 (which, actually, seemed a bit *high* for a sale price); then again, I really don't know anything about how good/rare the game is...

At any rate, now having a 3DS (and always happy to buy from & support N1)...

...I applied my $15.00 gift-certificate towards it as well as the $5.00 gift-certificate (that JOBOCAN so kindly gave me)...and...voila!!!

A new/sealed game for $9.99 (free-shipping FTW, baby)...now *That's* more like a "Sale" price XD

I have a couple of games coming from Ebay in the next week or 2.

Rayman Origin for the 360. Santa will be bringing this one to my son Christmas morning
Return of Double Dragon and Final Fight 2 both for the Super Famicom - $19 for the pair shipped. I have heard good things about the SF version of Double Dragon so I am looking forward to giving it a try :)

Post by: disgaeniac on December 06, 2012, 09:48:52 am
More "waiting for" than "pre-ordered", but:

Me & CranberryRiddles (a 'silent-site-member' here - who I've known for a long time from other places); have been putting together a somewhat sizeable "order" (I'm buying/he's selling) of a bunch of games 'n' guides for close to a year now.

Turns out that once every November, his work brings him to my area.

So, to cut-out shipping costs, do a face-to-face transaction instead of anonymously through the mail, and really (for me, at least) I was pretty psyched about meeting someone irl that I've only known on-line for a long time...we decided to just meet-up and take care of everything while he was here for work...

...of course...SANDY fucked that up for us quite nicely >:(

At any rate, we should be completing the deal any day dow (him sending & me paying).  I guess that one way of looking at Sandy as a *GOOD* thing (other than the Toyota that I'd been trying to sell for months (w/ NO interest shown in it) for $8,000...being totaled-out by my insurance company for $11,000 (they even paid very quickly & towed it away pretty fast, too)) - would also be that this whole order (~$500 worth) will now be "Christmas-Listed" to my g/f & family rather than me paying for it out of my own pocket  ;)

Pretty psyched for the incoming/new items!

Feeling bad for whoever ends up doing all of the gift-wrapping for all of this...yep...my family's funny like that...even if someone already knows *exactly* what they're getting...they still bother taking the time to wrap it all up  :o

*Random* P.S.:

After towing away the totaled car - my insurance company asked me if I'd be interested in buying it back from them for $2,000?!

Anyone here work in insurance or knowledgeable enough about it that can explain to me why a company would pay me $11,000 to total the car...and then give me the option to buy it back (potentially re-selling it "again" for more) for $9,000 *LESS* than what they'd just paid?

It seems ridiculous to me :P

I forgot Amazon had this thing going on, so I re-preordered Etrian Odyssey with the discount:

bestbuy.ca frequently has 5$ discounts on pre-orders, so I pre-order from them a lot (and sometimes they have badass coupons like 20% off pre-orders too). amazon.ca also does that sometimes, but I hate them so I don't order from them.

Anyways, I also pre-ordered Etrian Odyssey 4 today, can't wait to play it.

I also have pre-orders on:
Metal Gear Rising Revengeance (my best buy order says I have the limited edition pre-ordered for only 47$ (I originally ordered the normal edition, but they seem to have made a mistake on every order for that particular item number), but I'm guessing they'll fix that... I did take a screenshot of it though and will complain if they change it back to the normal edition :P)
Castlevania: Mirror of Fate
Luigi's Mansion 2
Lightning Returns: Final Fantasy XIII
Sonic & All-Stars Racing Transformed (vita version, for 20$)
Bioshock: Infinite
Ni no Kuni Wizard Edition
Anarchy Reigns (though I might cancel that and switch it to Ebgames since that actually has the Bayonetta DLC and bestbuy.ca doesn't have the item in their inventory anymore so I'm confused about it all)

Gonna pre-order some more as soon as I see them popping up on websites.

For a while, Newegg was giving quite a few good deals on preorders of $10-15 off, but they haven't done it since October or so.  Was hoping I'd get another offer from them, but I guess I still have time in case they offer anything soon.

That's a nice limited edition, and from the sounds of it a nice bundle too!

Agreed - I like the LE, too...and...soon-ish - I'll be getting around to being more specific in the "Recently Added to Collection" Topic  8)

Just ordered/pre-ordered 3 items from Amazon:

(Sealed) Code of Princess - just 'cause I have a feeling it won't be getting much easier/cheaper to find later,

Ni No Kuni - I fucked up & missed out on the "Wizard's Edition"; so I'm stuck w/ a lesser LE (not even sure what it comes with...an art-book...maybe?), and

Etrian Odyssey IV!

Keeping my eyes on both SMT: Soul-Hackers & the new Fire Emblem 3-DS games, too...anyone heard anything about any LE's for either of those?

Last I checked Amazon UK still had the Wizard's Edition in stock - why not order one from there?

Just checked out the site - looks like it's more *Buyer* friendly than it is *Seller* friendly (by a long shot)
:P

I checked it out myself. Their shipping costs are outrageous. It cost as much to ship two NES cartridges as the price they were to begin with and that was the slowest shipping option they had. If I wanted them next day, it would have cost $100 shipping.

Technically not a preorder... I heard that you could get stuff at Goozex for free for a few weeks - without having to buy their stupid trade tokens. So I cashed out and asked for a few DVDs and some PC games:

Hulk
The Incredible Hulk
Iron Man
The Shield (based on the TV show)
Fantastic 4
X-Men: The Official Game

I also asked for four DVDs, three of which are already confirmed, and the last one - which happens to be the one I want the most - has not been confirmed yet. :(

I'll retract my earlier statement about it being more "buyer-friendly", then...as I didn't even look at/into their shipping prices & policies... :o

Yeah shipping prices is why I did not pick up any other games.  The game did ship fast though and the label is in perfect condition!

I went a bit order/pre-order crazy a few hours ago...and...the winners are:

ORDERED:

Tales of the Abyss (3-DS) / I have the PS2-version in my backlog -and-

Theatrhythym: Final Fantasy (3-DS) / Missed this one when it 1st came out, but I thought it looked fun :)

PRE-ORDERED:

South Park: The Stick of Truth (x2 copies) / (PS3-LE),

Shin Megami Tensei: Soul Hackers (x2 copies) / (3-DS-LE),

Fire Emblem: Awakening (x2 copies) / (3-DS-LE), and

(a 2nd) Ni No Kuni: Wrath of the White Witch / (PS3-Gamestop-LE) - the other one I pre-ordered was the Amazon one (with, iirc, a plushie - and this one comes w/ a steel-case)...all of the rest of the above (except for the 1st two "non-pre-order" ones are the Gamestop LE's...and they all come with shiny, pretty stuff  ;D

Nice! I need to get myself Abyss on the 3DS as well one of these days...  Did you buy two copies of all the LEs so that you have a sealed one?

Also, a few more things:
- Was there an announcement for a LE of Soul Hackers?  I hadn't heard anything, but I also hadn't heard anything about the Fire Emblem: Awakening preorder until someone in the VGC forum posted about it...
- I think the Ni No Kuni for Amazon had a digital bonus - am I incorrect?  I also preordered at GS for the steelcase even though I'm getting the Wizard's edition, too (which has a plush Drippy)...

I just thought it weird with all the gaming Twitter feeds and newsletters I'm subscribed to that I still miss out on preorder info.  You'd think Gamestop's newsletter or Twitter would've let me know about something that was GS-exclusive...? Or at least is currently GS-exclusive...

SO... that means I'll subscribed to Operation Rainfall's twitter feed and hope this doesn't happen again!  Thanks for your source!

Haven't looked at any of the behind-the-scenes stuff or other videos, but excited for the Wizard's Edition!  Admittedly, I probably won't open it anytime soon because I'll have the steelcase version for actual playing.  Er, whenever I get a PS3, that is...  :-\

According to Amazon, there's possibly some delay with shipments for Fire Emblem: Awakening...?

http://www.amazon.com/Fire-Emblem-Awakening-nintendo-3ds/dp/B00AKIPBNS

Also, when I went to pick up Ni No Kuni yesterday, the GS manager mentioned that pre-orders for FE:A have been cut off, so if I did it earlier, I'm lucky.

Anyone else hear anything about this?

I already pre-ordered and paid it off, but if an LE is announced, I'll pay extra/change my pre-order.

Hm, I've played a few hours of P2 and P1, and I'm not sure if that's the best place to get introduced to the SMT series.  But hey, as long as you're aware of that  ;)

Currently waiting on Etrian Odyssey IV, Devil Summoner: Soul Hackers, and Pandora's Tower.

I had pre-ordered the Ni no Kuni: Wizard's Edition, but was unfortunately one of those who received a nice (read: wtf?!) cancellation email and a useless coupon for the Namco store. Hooray!

Hahaha, the smirks are a little odd, yes.  I'm so used to the SMT blank face, it's a little off-putting.

Also, I saw that Dreamworks/Pixar comparison right when Up came out - hilarious comic.

EDIT: Hm, I guess I must be responding to something someone had just deleted  ::)
Well excuuuuuuuuuse me. :P

XSEED Games Rings in the New Year with Stellar 2013 Lineup Including KILLER IS DEAD from SUDA51
A roster of hand-selected new Japanese-developed titles coming to fans across multiple platforms, including PlayStation 3, Xbox 360, Nintendo 3DS, PlayStation Vita and Windows PC

Torrance, Calif., (January 31st, 2013) - – XSEED Games, an independent-minded publisher, is celebrating the new year by announcing a robust lineup of action and RPG titles scheduled for North American release in 2013. Among the titles XSEED Games has revealed it will be publishing is the upcoming action thriller, KILLER IS DEAD™. Developed jointly by KADOKAWA GAMES and esteemed game creator, Goichi Suda (aka SUDA51), and his GRASSHOPPER MANUFACTURE studio, KILLER IS DEAD will be available for the PlayStation®3 computer entertainment system and Xbox 360® video game and entertainment system from Microsoft. Other titles confirmed for release in 2013 include a host of handheld titles, such as the RPG adventure title Rune Factory 4 for the Nintendo 3DS™ hand-held system, as well as Ys: Memories of Celceta and Valhalla Knights 3 for the PlayStation®Vita handheld entertainment system. The company will also be releasing Ys I&II Chronicles+ on Windows® PC via Steam.

“XSEED is ringing in the New Year by sharing a glimpse of our upcoming lineup of great titles for 2013, including the exciting partnership for KILLER IS DEAD, the newest creation from KADOKAWA GAMES and SUDA51, which I personally selected to bring to the US market,” said Shinichi Suzuki, President and CEO of XSEED Games. “In the coming year, we will release an array of solid action and role-playing games that are sure to delight fans through a combination of high quality gameplay and well-crafted localization.”

The full lineup of XSEED Games titles includes:

KILLER IS DEAD
PS3™/Xbox 360®, Summer 2013 – Created by game legend SUDA51, this highly anticipated original game is set in a not-so-distant future similar to (but not the same as) the world we know now. The player takes control of an executioner named Mondo Zappa who wields a Japanese sword in his right hand and brandishes interchangeable weapons in his left artificial arm. His ultimate goal is to execute various heinous criminals scattered around the world and beyond.

Completely unique visuals and outstanding stylish action come together to deliver an unprecedented gaming experience in KILLER IS DEAD. This brand-new action title is being jointly developed by KADOKAWA GAMES and GRASSHOPPER MANUFACTURE, with SUDA51 lending his trademark sense of style at the helm. Deep Silver, the games label of Koch Media, will bring the title to the countries of Europe and Oceania.

Rune Factory 4
Nintendo 3DS, Summer 2013 – The first game in the Rune Factory simulation/role-playing series to be released on the Nintendo 3DS, Rune Factory 4 adds new romance options, the ability to select a male or female character at the game’s start, and has endless crafting, farming and cooking opportunities. The player becomes Selphia’s prince or princess and can manage the village, explore the countryside with townsfolk, or tame monsters in the wild to aid them in battle or help out in the fields.

Valhalla Knights 3
PS Vita, Fall 2013 – The fourth title published by XSEED Games in the popular Valhalla Knights action RPG series, Valhalla Knights 3 features a robust character creation system and brings intense seven-on-seven party-based combat to the PS Vita. Players can select from one of seven races and one of twenty job classes such as Fighter, Mage, Thief, Priest, Akatoki or Archer, while also equipping two sub-jobs. Players can adventure with a party of their own making or brave the wilds alone and seamlessly engage in real-time combat to earn skill points for upgrading and unlocking abilities unique to each job class.

Ys: Memories of Celceta
PS Vita, Fall 2013 – An extensive reimagining of (and pseudo-sequel to) Ys IV, one of the only Ys games never before released in the west, this title puts more enemies on screen than ever before and features the largest, most non-linear overworld in Ys history, boasting superlative graphics and a triumphant evolution of the fast-paced gameplay that has made this series a timeless action RPG mainstay. As the game opens, long-time protagonist Adol Christin finds himself alone, dazed and confused in a strange land, and must piece together his memories of how he got here and why, all the while struggling to determine whom he can trust.

Ys I & II Chronicles+
Windows PC (Steam), February – XSEED Games has delighted RPG fans for years by publishing multiple Ys titles from legendary RPG developer Nihon Falcom for handheld platforms and Windows PC, and now Ys fans can celebrate once more as an enhanced remake of the classic first two games in the Ys franchise comes to Steam for the first time. Including both Ancient Ys Vanished: Omen and Ancient Ys Vanished: The Final Chapter, this action RPG tells of red-haired swordsman Adol Christin’s inaugural adventure to defeat the evil forces blighting the isle of Esteria and uncover the mysteries of the eponymous lost land of Ys.

“This will be an amazing year for us,” said Ken Berry, Executive Vice President of XSEED Games. “Our portfolio continues to expand and it’s evident by this stellar lineup of titles, so we’re excited to share more details and hear what our fans are most looking forward to playing in the coming year.”

Additionally, XSEED Games recently announced that the company will be publishing the highly anticipated action RPG title, Pandora’s Tower, on Wii™ this spring. More information on each of the upcoming products will be announced in the coming weeks and months. For more information on XSEED Games products, visit xseedgames.com. Fans can also follow XSEED Games on Facebook at www.facebook.com/XSEEDGames and Twitter at www.twitter.com/XSEEDGames.

I'm intrigued by the new Rune Factory 4... wonder how it'll compare to the others.

Hella stoked for Killer is Dead and Ys: Memories of Celceta, but I'm really hoping both get some kind of non-GameStop pre-order goodies. I tend to need incentive to pay full price, even if it's a game I reallyreally want.

I'm the same way...  I hate that I need the schwag, but paying full price for something I might not play for a while (even if I'm stoked for it) isn't always a possibility.

Eh...I actually *don't* do it for anything even close to every one -but- I'm pretty good at (by now) knowing pretty much the ones that are almost certainly going to rise to double, triple, etc their original prices...the 'worst' I've ever done on one is to break even.

Pretty much, what profits I make like this = the amount of $ I spend on my own collection & future speculations.

There's also been a lot of times (like w/ Darko recently) where I wind up using extra copies (AT COST...*NOT* doubled *cough*Scott*Cough*:)

I'm definitely glad I was able to get the Wizard's Edition when I did - I have to thank VGC for that as I probably wouldn't have even known about the game otherwise.  And I feel really bad that you didn't get the Ni No Kuni LE, esp after they had the "second wave" of sales.  Really, really unfortunate for many people.

In any case, I'm thankful that I have one in my possession while watching its price skyrocket.    I have other LEs that are doing ok (ex: Skyrim, Persona 4 Golden, Virtue's Last Reward), but the whole craziness of Ni No Kuni is insane.  People are selling just the plushie for $50, even...

But yeah, I hear ya - sometimes I buy additional copies in case any of my friends wanted it but weren't able to get a copy.  For instance, I gave a friend one of my VLR watches since she wasn't able to purchase the game when they were still coming bundled with that bonus.

I slipped and fell and ordered a copy of Crysis 3: Hunter Edition.  I don't know why.  My wife actually did it.  She said it was an Xbox game that was $3, so she ordered it.  I don't know the first thing about it, but it's mine now.

Im not a fan of any sort of shooter game whether shmup or fps ... but the commercial for Crysis 3 really looks badass. The main character has that "fuck the world, Im going to kick ass all day and night" sort of appearance in it making it seem pretty cool to play.

Well, I think this is my first real preorder:

Brutal Legend with Soundtrack on Steam. I got it for slightly less than the asking price (about $16) so this game had better not suck. It comes out on the 26th.

I also got two virtual items with it. :p My heavy will rock that mullet like nobody ever will.

How was the soundtrack for the game, soera?

Were there any stand-out (80's...or otherwise) metal hits or ballads on it?
Title: Re: Pre-Ordered/Waiting for...
Post by: soera on February 25, 2013, 11:55:43 am
Oh, some of the tracks that were on there were shocking. Children of Bodom is quite a bit more hardcore than alot of the stuff that the game was based around. Skeletonwitch is pretty unknown but not bad. A song I hadnt ever heard before from Static X popped up during playthrough and it took me back a minute. Had to pull up images of Wayne Static to show my stepson his crazy hairstyles. A lot of the music was new to me though. If you like metal at all, you should be pretty well covered with the all the songs on here.

I feel it should said that songs that might seem a little out of place when looking at the soundtrack (and by that I mean just a list of the songs featured in the game) like "Rock of Ages" work great in the events that are being play. Even bands I don't care for at all like Cradled of Filth and Dragonforce, when their songs came on in the story mode it worked perfectly. Also it should be mentioned that Peter McConnell did an amazing job with the OST.

AFAIK only Dodonpachi Daioujou (and DDP: DOJ Tamashii?) got a PGM 2 release, and Demon Front is on PGM1 ;) I'm not that fussed about DDP - I don't mind buying the odd console port of it but *checks online* I'm not enough of a fan to spend $500+shipping for the arcade version. Demon Front's one I'll definitely pick up at some point as I already have a PGM1 motherboard, it's just a question of getting the money and finding one at a decent price!

Yeah, the price is the killer on a lot of that PCB stuff. I could see paying around the $250 mark for some of it, but when I see the price of games like Ketsui, I just sit there gawking for a moment. Hopefully you got a good deal on the PGM2, though :)

Well, I played the Brutal Legend intro and liked it. Unfortunately for me, the game lags heavily in some areas, especially in cutscenes, and it's a wee bit unstable. So I'm going to wait for a few more update patches before delving into the game.

Still, I found out how to extract the soundtrack! Which is pretty darned cool so far.

I now have Castlevania: Lords of Shadow - Mirror of Fate (3DS) pre-ordered, along with Gears of War: Judgment (360).

EDIT:  Yesterday I cancelled my pre-order for Gears of War: Judgment and transferred what I had down on it to Castlevania: Lords of Shadow - Mirror of Fate, which is now paid in full.  After looking over some revealing (read: extremely disappointing) information on Judgment regarding campaign and multi-player, I'm no longer interested in the next Gears installment.
Title: Re: Pre-Ordered/Waiting for...
Post by: insektmute on March 03, 2013, 01:24:58 pm
I didn't have it pre-ordered, but I wasn't too optimistic about Gears of War: Judgment. Something about the whole idea seems like a needless cash-and-grab before the current console generation ends.

Kinda sad that People Can Fly are being used to churn out a Gears prequel, though. I liked what they did with Bulletstorm, and would much rather see a sequel to that.

I have absolutely nothing Im waiting for game wise. I just left Best Buy and looked at their pre-order list. Every game is a sequel of some other game I dont care about. Ni no Kuni was the only game I had actually pre-ordered in almost 2 years (MK 2011 was the last game prior). Hopefully some new stuff comes out to fill the empty spots.

^ This.  Only difference is that I've got mine completely paid off already (non LE/CE copy)!  Like I mentioned before, I'll probably just switch over to the LE for a bit more.

No more pre-orders for me for quite a while!

I had a bunch of credits for their on-line store (enough to order the PS3 game Bleach for free) -but- of course, 'while I was there'...I ordered the Giclee, too.

Honestly? No idea, since they haven't listed the details yet. My guess is that it'll be similar to the 360 LE though, which included a slipcover, soundtrack CD, and superplay DVD. I figure if I'm paying through the nose anyway, I might as well get some goodies with it, especially since all the 360 Cave shmups I've picked up have been platinum releases.

As far as I've seen, this is going to be every copy available, regardless of retailer. 1st print package of sweetness, same as they did with Shin Megami Tensei: Nocturne, Persona 3, etc.

Per their twitters - "The 1st print of Shin Megami Tensei 4 will include a Limited Edition Box Set with a Strategy&Design Book, Music Collection CD, & slipcase."

Awesome, looks like I finally have something to look forward to. :)

Going to go tonight and try to pre-order it from best buy. It looks as though as its not a particular "limited edition" but its simply the first release of the game so every pre-order should be the same version. Also the price appears to be $50 and considering the price of new games now, you are getting the game at a normal price and all the extra stuff as just a super free bonus!!

Called my local GS yesterday to make sure that they were already accepting pre-orders for the game +  'extras' -and- they are.

She didn't know the price for sure, but, she said she's *pretty* sure that it's going to be $49.99 + tax...

...A LOT for a 3-DS game -but- I'll pay it gladly enough for SMT IV + all of the sweet extras...I like to know the prices before going in to pre-order, because, 99% of the time...I like to pay-it-off completely in advance so I can just pick it up on release day :)

@desocietas SMT4 is not the only JRPG that coming to the 3DS, bravely default: flying fairy (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bravely_Default:_Flying_Fairy) is coming to europe sometime in 2013 and for north america its being released sometime in 2014, you know the 3DS is becoming the PS2 of handhelds aka there's are a lot of JRPG's on the system

Yup, lots of good stuff announced recently

- the new flying Pikmin is ADORABLE -

but I haven't had a chance to catch up on everything.  I haven't looked into Bravely Default yet but it's all up in my twitter feed.  Folks are excited!  I'm definitely happy with my 3DS and am wondering how many of them I'll end up with in a few years time.  All these limited edition 3DS XL versions... so tempting!

Just look at all those goodies for SMT IV!  :o  Can't pass up a pre-order on this one.

As far as I'm concerned, all Megaten games must be pre-ordered. No exceptions! :D

Oh, I forgot to mention that when I went to preorder SMTIVLE from GS, I mentioned to the clerk about the news about the limited edition upgrade for that title.  He said the same thing happened for Project X Zone, which I had not heard about - perhaps because I was out of town:

(http://www.gamestop.com/gs/images/bonus/170684_LELG.jpg)

He said all existing preorders were automatically upgraded.  Yay swag!

UPDATE:

Whoa, Atlus just tweeted this:
https://twitter.com/AtlusUSA/status/325030295822798849

I'm glad I put in that second preorder with GS!  Wondering if I should switch my Amazon preorder to GS, too...

Why not do the pre-order online, set it for in-store pickup?
Title: Re: Pre-Ordered/Waiting for...
Post by: desocietas on April 22, 2013, 07:40:23 pm
Best Buy.com's preorder for that title doesn't offer the pickup in store option for some reason, but you could get free shipping to your home.  And in regard to Zelda, I don't think anyone has that listed yet for preorder, do they?  I didn't see anything on Gamestop, Amazon, or Best Buy...
Title: Re: Pre-Ordered/Waiting for...
Post by: soera on April 22, 2013, 08:02:34 pm
Yeah Best buy doesnt guarantee first day delivery either if you order online + ship to house. While not necessarily a big deal, I really want to make sure I get what I want when I order it.

And Im not sure on the Zelda thing but you are probably right. I dont even think there is a legitimate release date anyhow ... I just wanted to get it pre-ordered as soon as possible. :D

When does that come out?

I'm still waiting to learn more about the PS4 before buying/deciding on any games that are going to get both PS3 & PS4 releases...
Title: Re: Pre-Ordered/Waiting for...
Post by: soera on May 16, 2013, 12:38:04 pm
The release date says Dec 31 ... which to me means its still undecided just that its going to be sometime this year. And I agree on what you said. I want Diablo III pretty badly but if the PS4 comes out first, Id rather get it on that.
Title: Re: Pre-Ordered/Waiting for...
Post by: torvez on May 16, 2013, 01:22:51 pm
Pony up and get both XD, I did it on a whim. I also want it on PS4, but I don't think I'll be able to afford one when it comes out, so it wont make a difference to me. also, i watched an interview with one of the devs and they said they haven't even got a hold of a dualshock 4, so even if the ps4 does release this year, dIII probably won't until next year.

from what I understand they hired an outside console team to dev the ps3 version, so if they are working on an expansion, there was no time sacrificed

Put me down for (3) of the Time & Eternity LE's.

I guess that's something new - where NISA's on-line store is limiting it to 3 per customer, since I've very often pre-ordered 4, 5, 6, etc at a time.

I'm sure that by calling my friend there - I could easily work around this...but...I'm finding that I don't really *want* more than 3 this time/game...

Nah  ;)

I've actually got them all over the place :P

Plus, they don't last!

Say, for example, I pre-order 5 copies of an LE...(1) is for me to open up, play, and enjoy for myself, 1 or 2 might eventually end up as gifts or trades, and the last (2)...I'll sell when I feel the time is right...

...*Usually*, the last 2 that I end up selling (more than) pay for my initial total investment  8)

I know that there's some collectors who absolutely *hate* people that do what I do, but:

A).  I'm disabled/unable to work so I'm not gonna feel bad about making $ in a completely legal manner,

B).  I don't have any advantages over any/everybody else - I mean - I can't pre-order the game until everyone else can -and- they are, of course, also all free to spend/invest their money as they wish, and

C).  I'm actually a big fan and supporter of free, open-market, capitalistic, democratic societies w/o restrictions/limitations on what I can & can't buy, sell, and/or trade  8)

I'm pre-ordering a PS4 (or 2(?)...) sometime today, myself :)

Last gen (when the PS3's came out) - we had all sorts of craziness going on locally; like, people camping out on lines for 2-3 days, and we even had several cases of people being stabbed/robbed at gunpoint of their PS3's  :o

lol, I stood in line overnight for the PS2. It was kinda fun, esp. since Best Buy gave out donuts and coffee in the morning, and everyone was totally calm and orderly, but since we can pre-order this stuff online now, I'll happily make a pot of coffee, buy my own donuts, and wait for a box to show up.

Got an email from amazon last night. They upped they amount of release day consoles and I am now on of the ones getting it shipped to me on launch day! Woot.

This is the first console I'll have ever bought on launch too. Not counting my onyx DS Lite and Resident Evil 5 Xbox 360.

I'm hyped!

Got the same e-mail.

Apparently, the only difference is *when* we will get them now (on launch day:)

Too bad Sony's not offering any little 'extras' (even M$ is at least marking some of the earlier pre-orders as "Day One" items)...

Only have SMT IV pre-ordered at the moment.  The boyfriend had Project X Zone pre-ordered, but he lost his job about two weeks ago and won't be able to pick it up.  I offered to pay off the rest, but he was being a butthead that day so I retracted my offer.  :)

I may end up going ahead and getting it anyway.  ;)

I had Project X Zone pre-ordered, but after playing the demo I wasn't willing to pay full price for it. So I canceled my pre-order on it. I might pick it up later, since it has .hack characters in it.

Hmmm.  Maybe things happen for a reason...?   ???

From the gameplay footage I saw, I thought launch bundle price was worth it.  Perhaps I'll have to see about that demo...

Ya I think it's a nice bundle. But buying it just for the swag doesn't appeal to me. I just really didn't like the way combat was set up, that and they don't explain anything. So you have to look through a menu FAQ to understand what's going on. Even then I couldn't find answers I was looking for.

So I thought about it for an evening and decided that the swag wasn't worth it. And I'll wait for the price to drop.

I'm a sucker for the swag but maybe I'll DL the demo to see if I should just return it after picking it up (and not opening it).  Yay, free swag?

I generally don't pre-order games because it's really not difficult (at least here) to just go out and get the game day 1 if I wanted to. There has never been a case where I've been unable to get a game because I didn't pre-order. However, I did pre-order New Super Luigi U from Amazon because I'm getting it for my fiancee's birthday and I want it delivered here so it can be a surprise.

For me pre-order is about getting deals, not about just getting the game.

I currently have the following pre-ordered, all for 33% off:

Shin Megami Tensei IV (just got shipped)
Dragon's Crown
Pikmin 3
Wonderful 101
Pokemon Y
Sonic Lost World
Wind Waker HD
Super Mario 3D World
Legend Of Zelda Link Between Worlds
Donkey Kong Country Trop Freeze
Disgaea D2
inFamous Second Son
Mario Kart 8
Mirror's Edge reboot
Bayonetta 2
Bravely Default
Super Smash Bros

How'd you get the deals...?  I ordered SMTIV from Newegg when they were having 10 or 15% off, but that's as low as I saw.

I didn't use to preorder and I only do so now if they're having preorder-only bonuses that I want.  There have been too many times I've kicked myself for not checking whether a game I know I'll eventually buy had preorders when it launched.

Examples:
- Junpei's hat for Persona's re-release
- 999 watch

Other examples of things I preordered but definitely would've kicked myself over had I not:
- Ni No Kuni wizard edition
- Zero Escape watch(es)

During E3 Future Shop's online store in Canada had deals where you got 33% off all the games in your order if you pre-ordered more than 3. I always wait around for these deals.

Hellz yeah - I'm stoked, too!

You can get by w/o the guide (everything will be on the Internet soon enough); I just got it because:

a).  I like collecting guides,

b).  I like ALL-things 'Disgaea', and

c).  This will definitely be the 1st (and possibly the only) hardcover Disgaea strategy guide.

I'm expecting that the game's gonna be fun as hell, though - guide or no guide :)

If by usual you mean half assed.  I would have got the guide but the extra $20 was it was just that much over the top.  Well to be honest I had two $5 coupons I had to redeem just to get the other down to $74.95.

I don't preorder as much as you do, but sometimes if I'm good I'll plug in important dates into Google Calendar.  You can set it up to email you before the date, on the date, 2 weeks before, etc. (customizable).  Only issue with that are the preorders that don't have concrete release dates.

Well I generally check about once or twice a month to see what is newly available anyways, so those I'd be able to update those when I go over them periodically anyways....  I'll check out your suggestion, because I can link it to an email account to notify on my phone if I wanted....  That would probably work well....

Not like my name's a give-a-way, or anything -but- I'm also very much looking forward to D2 -and- it's coming out close enough to my B-Day (10-25) that playing it will probably be a (100+ hour) gift to myself :)

Welcome to the site, btw!

Guided Fate Paradox LE (x3) - looks like a sweet LE (if you pre-order it from NISA's on-line store).

I'm actually looking forward to playing a NISA Rogue-like!

Considering it releases 2-3 weeks after the new Disgaea game...it will probably be awhile until I get around to it, though  :o

I keep mine listed by date in a .txt but I always end up forgetting dates anyways....  Here's what it looks like:

08/06 - Dragon's Crown
08/13 - Payday 2 CE
08/25 - New Super Luigi
08/27 - Final Fantasy 14 LE
08/27 - Killer is Dead LE
08/27 - Sweet Fuse
09/03 - Diablo 3
09/10 - Kingdom Hearts HD
09/17 - GTA 5 CE
09/24 - Ys: Memories of Celceta
10/08 - Beyond Two Souls
11/05 - Guided Fate Paradox
11/19 - Watch Dogs
12/31 - Hatsune Miku
12/31 - Wind Waker
02/11 - Final Fantasy 13-3
??/?? - Final Fantasy X/X2 HD
??/?? - Tales of Symphonia HD
??/?? - Zelda Link Between
??/?? - Hakuoki Memories LE

Anyone have any better ideas that work well~?

Wow, that's a lot of pre-orders! I myself am only waiting for Kingdom Hearts HD, and I'll probably pre-order Pokémon X/Y as well. I wanted to wait, but I'll probably bite on the limited edition Torchic download. I'll have to wait on Link Between Worlds , Wind Waker HD, and a few others, because I just cannot afford all of that at the same time, dang it.

Oh, I also pre-ordered this awesomeness in a treasure chest:

PS3 for sure. Diablo 3 was one of the main reasons I wanted to pre-order the PS4 ... but since the 3 version is coming out in 10 days and the PS4 isnt going to be out for another 3 months, I went ahead and moved my PS4 reservation money to Diablo itself. Once Elder scrolls online is set to release I will pick up the 4 then. :)

True.

But...since he just said he'd put in a pre-order for the game - I think that you can already pre-order both versions.

Yeah you probably can pre-order the PS4 version already ... I just dont want to wait. :D

As far as the fee for ESO, I dont mind as long as they keep everything current and running. Once you are paying for services that arent up to par, then is when it starts to suck.

I'm curious about this as well...

As long as it has *MY* language (English) - unless you have to pay more money (to buy the version with a second language on it ) - what's the 'downside' to a dual-language version?

Dual Language doesn't hold any collectors value. My PS3 died so I'm getting this to complete the collection and will be keeping it sealed.

I got an email a little bit ago telling me that Kingdom Hearts will be available for pick up Tuesday morning. I had forgot I preordered it. It's paid in full though.
I haven't played any kingdom hearts games. I haven't played an RPG since KoToR II forst came out. I'm going to have to make time for this though. I've heard good things. Plus, my wife and kid are going elsewhere next weekend; so I'm sitting in my drawers playing a Mickey Mouse game this weekend.

And be forewarned, there could be another "Chemically Altered Challenge". After a day of Kingdom Hearts storytelling, I'm going to want to unwind with booze and old school vidya games.

Yeah, the fact that it's digital-only and 30$ is why I'm not buying it. The game had a physical release in japan, why not here? And why so small a discount? My current "screw Capcom" attitude after all their constant stupid decisions in the last 5 or so years is helping my decision to not buy it.

Also, wasn't "The Walking Dead" another one that was (originally) planned/announced as a 'Digital Only' title...only to later get a physical release -or- was the physical release planned/known about all along...I can't remember, for sure?

Who's taking the pre-orders; Gamestop...Amazon...everybody?

*I* think that it seems..."off"...to be taking pre-orders w/o a firm (or, at least, a tentative) release date -then again- I can't even remember how many *YEARS* I've had "The Last Guardian" pre-ordered  :-\

I'm excited about this.

Also, wasn't "The Walking Dead" another one that was (originally) planned/announced as a 'Digital Only' title...only to later get a physical release -or- was the physical release planned/known about all along...I can't remember, for sure?
Probably, but Telltale has a habit of releasing games in digital form, only to release them in physical form once the season finishes its run.

Just double-checked my inbox, and surprisingly enough, I didn't get any notice of that happening. I did get one indicating that because I pre-ordered prior to September 9th, my order would be shipped on time, but beyond the usual tracking info and stuff, that's about it.

Nope, no strategy guide. As a general rule, I just don't bother with them for any game - I figure if I need help, there are plenty of FAQs around :)

Title: Re: Pre-Ordered/Waiting for...
Post by: disgaeniac on October 17, 2013, 12:04:59 pm
Okay...

...So, I'm gonna' go ahead & consider these items "Pre-ordered and/or Waiting for" -And- blame it all on my g/f's excitement (read: complete inability to keep a secret:)

You see; my B-Day is next week (on the 25th).

*Personally* - I love to wait until the B-Day itself to actually give the gift (W/O the person having any idea of what it may be in advance), so I can see their looks/tears of wonder, excitement, shock, amazement, surprise, and/or...disappointment -hey- it happens.  Tbqh...I kinda' thought of that as "The Protocol"  8)

However (within ONE HOUR) of ordering some of my B-Day gifts/items...my g/f (unable to keep it to herself -but- then again, her overflowing & genuine - sometimes almost childish displays of impatience joy & happiness *ARE* some of the things that I actually LIKE about the girl:); tells me what I'm getting...*Because*..."she just couldn't help herself, keep it to herself, and/or wait *that* long.  :o

So...it turns out that I'll be getting the VITA set (new), the one that got the price-drop to $199.99, a big paperback The art of Disgaea art book + another similar art book "The Art of" (Disgaea's main artist(s); man, does she know my tastes  ;)

At any rate - since I can't see any sense whatsoever to own a system w/o any games to play on it -and- since I had $20 worth of store credit for Nisa's on-line store...I just went ahead and ordered Disgaea 3: Absence of Detention for it  ;D

*NOT*, mind you, that I'll be playing it anytime in the near future (after I finish Disgaea D-2: A Brighter Darkness), it will be (at least) a few months before I do anything Disgaea-related again...

...then again...my Guided Fate Paradox LE's (not to mention my PS4) should be arriving (and getting played) pretty damned close to the time that I'm finishing up D-2!

Good times  8)

I'm still pondering cancellation, only because while I can afford it, it kills the surplus I've been trying to build. I've also noticed that since pre-ordering the launch edition, they've done a few bundles w/ games for the same price (including one for Killzone), so I'm wondering if waiting a couple weeks longer, assuming there's no shortage, might save me 60 bucks in the long run if I can score a bundle instead.

Decisions, decisions...

I just had to cancel my PS4 pre-order. Looking over my budget, and while it's technically within my means, it'd just be way too big of a hit to take right now :/

I'm hoping there won't be any huge production shortages though, since maybe I can convince my Mom to shell out for one as an Xmas gift. That's what happened with my PS3, after all! :D

Yeah, I've had a helluva time with anything reflective or textured. What worked best is to turn on descreen, turn off unsharp mask (always do anyway), turn on a tiny bit of backlight and gutter shadow correction, and maybe some slight manual adjustment of the contrast and brightness in Photoshop until it matches as closely to the actual thing as I can get it.

I'll have to get that myself - thankfully I can worry about it after the holidays :P

Although I'm hoping they release a deluxe edition similar to the one in Europe:

Actually more of a "Waiting For" than a "pre-order" -but- even though I'll have a hard time figuring out where to hang it...I just ordered the "A Witch In Time" Giclee (which will make Giclee #  6); as a part of NIS America's Holiday sale!

Could.

Not.

Help.

Myself  :o

The fact that it was only $200 (normally, they're $300) - just made it that much easier to convince myself  ;D

PS:

@Deso and Karyann...

I guess that, since I've "relapsed"...I should be asking one of you ladies (or both of you...I'm a tough-case; I may well need Double-Sponsorship:) to be my sponsor(s)...to help me from relapsing again...and again...and again...and again...and again, etc.

Ha, you're asking the wrong people.  We're the enablers, right?  The ones who sit next to you, preordering several copies of things and encouraging you to do the same (and that it's normal)...?

You wanna stop buying Giclees, or stop buying 2/3 copies of the same games?  Either way, eeeh... I can try  ;) I don't buy games in double, so there's that going for me in order to help I guess...  :o

I never buy multiple copies of the 100% exact same release, buuuut I do buy some games on more than one platform. I especially like having a hardcopy on console of certain stuff, but also having the option of playing everything all nice and pretty on PC. Big sales on Steam or goodies put up as part of a Humble Bundle helps keep it relatively cheap, too! :)

If anyone's interested and/or just wants to check it out...this is it!

I wanted to try it, but now it's mandatory to link an NNID to your 3DS to download anything from the e-shop... Kinda pisses me off, since I wanted to wait and see if I can someday get my original NNID back, or if I have to create a whole new one  :-\ I don't want to link my first NNID on my 3DS if I am to make a new one on my Wii U, or it would be a mess to manage.

I hope the demo'll be available for a while, so that I can sort the NNID thing out and hopefully not lose that chance.

You should hurry up for Bravery Default, as the CE just came back "in stock", but they will probably sell out fast again! As for Shin Megami Tensei, I think I've seen one or 2 recently in the shops, so if you're lucky and search hard enough, maybe you'll find one  :)

Prices of $100 are normal for games which don't have an announced price, because this way they're sure that you won't be mad that they will charge more than what you originally saw ;) I'm really skeptical over a Wii U Zelda release in such a short time, without ever having any information at all from Nintendo  :-\ I guess we'll see soon enough though.

You know...I was gonna' say that $50 for a Rorona LE sounded kind of high -but- after looking at it on Amazon (where new/sealed versions of the LE) are listing from $70 to $130; I'd say that $50 *does* sound like a good/fair price  ;D

So I'm torn on whether or not to get conception 2... A lot of what i'm reading is saying it's like persona, but I've never played a persona game. On the other hand, I've liked all the other Shin Megami Tensei games I've played. Plus it's Atlus so I'm not sure I'd be disappointed. The battle system on the youtube video i'm watching makes no sense to me though!

There's also the fact there was never an English translation for the first one.

So torn!

You might want to check if you selected release day delivery on your order. If so, you can ask their support what the problem is, and usually they give a 10 dollar credit.

I feel kind of cheap doing that sometimes, but then I realize they said they'd do something, but didn't. Especially if you have amazon prime lol.

Just realized how soon the HD FFX & FFX-2 re-makes are coming out for the PS3 (pre-ordered the game itself last September) -and- I noticed that there's a *Really* pretty-looking strategy guide (for both games) that can also be pre-ordered for <$20 from Amazon...and so it is pre-ordered!

I've still got original Brady (I think?) guides for the original games, but:

A.  They're in tatters, and

B.  This new version is supposed to be coming with the "International Version" content that was never previously released - in the West, at least.

Really looking forward to re-playing these 2 games again...it's been long enough for me so it won't feel repetitive/'just did/played this' when I play 'em again  ;D

Anyone else getting/looking forward to playing these 2 games; either again...or for their 1st times?!

I ordered this for my girlfriend as she's huge into FFX. I've never played X-2 so it'll be nice to try that for the first time. I also really didn't play X to it's full potential. I beat it in like a week on vacation once so I didn't do all the side quests. It'll be all new to me really!

FFX actually has my 2nd favorite mini-game of all time ("Blitzball") in it - my favorite being "Spheda" from the Dark Cloud(s) RPG's.

I've prolly spent as many hours playing Blitzball as I have the rest of the game.

FFX-2, however is a...different beast entirely!

In a "bad" way, (IMO) X-2's Blitzball wasn't as good/fun as it was in the original.

In the old "People like to talk shit" way...X-2 is "girly, emo, and too much JPOP"

Hell; it may be a little bit of ALL of those things -but- none of them takes anything away from

DAT "Dress-Sphere"!!!

"Dress-Sphere" = 'Combat system/mechanics' -and- it fucking rocks  ;D

I tried, really tried to get into Blitzball and I just couldn't do it. I had a hard time with the mechanics and stats. In all I really do like FFX, the combat system in particular. I'd say it's my 4th most played Final Fantasy game.

It'd prolly look something like this.

2. III (SNES) - VII beat it out due to the Golden Saucer and Chocobo racing (plus I've never actually beaten it)
3. IX

I'm the same way - I've played through FFX 2.5 times (stopped half-way through my last playthrough because they announced the HD remake) and every time I tell myself this is going to be the time I get into Blitzball.  Hasn't happened yet.  I wonder if trophies will be enough to finally push me into it?

You needed Sphere Break to get the Lady Luck Dress Sphere.

It *did* have Blitzball in it -but- it was more of a recruiting & training based (*boring*) kind of thing.

Post by: argyle on February 20, 2014, 04:51:21 pm
I have more preorders, and specifically CE preorders, right now than I can remember ever having! 

In order of release:

Castlevania: Lords of Shadow 2
Tales of Symphonia Chronicles CE
Dark Souls II Black Armor Ed.
Final Fantasy X-X2 HD Collection CE
Final Fantasy X-X2 HD Collection - Vita
Deception IV: Blood Ties
The Witch & The Hundred Knight
Demon Gaze CE
Drakengard 3 CE (x2)
Elder Scrolls Online Imperial Edition
JoJo's Bizarre Adventure: All-Star Battle

And I still plan on preordering Watch Dogs, Dying Light, Destiny and probably Wolfenstein.  That 20% discount from Best Buy's Gamer's Club Unlocked makes it harder to pass up games I want on day-1, especially when they combine that with a $10 credit-back preorder bonus.  Luckily, I've been selling a lot of unneeded/unwanted items on ebay lately so I've been able to cover everything so far with those profits. 
Title: Re: Pre-Ordered/Waiting for...
Post by: soera on March 06, 2014, 10:26:10 am
All right, another thread got me to thinking about something. Right now Im playing Bravely Default and at the end of the month Witch and the hundred knight comes out and Ill be playing that then. Once that is done, however, I have nothing else planned. I want something else to look forward to as well so I figured Id post here to see if anyone has anything they are waiting for that would fit my specifications.

First, must be an RPG. I dont ever hardly dabble in any gaming that doesnt take 100+ hours to beat the game. Just no fulfillment when its accomplished for me.

Second, gotta be on a non Microshaft system. It is what it is. I hate any form of Xbox system.

If you give a recommendation, I want to know why. For example, I want someone (Argyle, looking at you) to really sell me on FF X- X2 HD remake.
Title: Re: Pre-Ordered/Waiting for...
Post by: argyle on March 06, 2014, 11:45:46 am
Hrm, don't know that I can sell you on the remake, since I'm assuming you've played the original PS2 games.  If not, then by all means you should play it.  They are both amazing games - FFX is the full package, great story & fantastic gameplay.  FFX-2 has a much more "fluffy" story but it also has what is arguably the best battle system of any FF.  But if you've played them already, you know where you stand & you probably know if you want to play through them again w/ improved graphics/sound & a little extra content.

I *can* recommend some other RPGs I'm looking forward to tho.  :)

Demon Gaze - Upcoming Vita RPG, published by NISA, comes out on April 22.  First person dungeon crawler - think Etrian Odyssey - but it seems to have more of an anime/story bent to it.    I've heard that it's considered one of the best games for the system in Japan, so I'm looking forward to it.  Oh, and if you're a CE person, NIS is reporting less than 50% stock left on it and it's only $10 more than the standard edition.  Here's the first US trailer:

[youtube]https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OduN5GzU1v0[/youtube]

Drakengard 3 - PS3 action-RPG, Square-Enix, releases May 20.  You're probably familiar with this one.  It's a very unique series - if you played Nier this gen, then that is part of the same universe.  I was very surprised to see this game get a sequel and even more shocked that it is being brought over here.  The only place to get a physical copy will be direct from Square's online store.  Here's a trailer for that:

[youtube]https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tfRu7z_MDOM[/youtube]

Final Fantasy XIV: A Realm Reborn - MMO-RPG, Square-Enix, releases April 14 for PS4, out now for PS3/PC.  Some people hate MMO's - if that's you, just disregard this.  ;)  I fall somewhere in the middle, I like them sometimes but I never get hardcore into them.  My wife and I played the PS4 beta together recently (yes, we're a 2-PS4 household...no kids = more toys for us :P ) and we really enjoyed it.  That combined with the fact that I hear there's a proper FF 60+ storyline to play through in the game has me very excited.  I'd also like to find some other people who play or who are planning to get the PS4 version.  :D  Again, trailer:

[youtube]https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DoWERpPz9ug[/youtube]

Fairy Fencer F - Turn-based RPG, NISA, release date TBA 2014.  Don't know a ton about this one other than it has a great pedigree and looks very interesting.  No release date yet, so probably won't be until the Fall.

[youtube]https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gMNr1vfp6Ok[/youtube]

There are some Western RPGs I'm looking forward to as well such as Witcher 3 and Dragon Age: Inquisition, but those won't be out until the Fall at the earliest. 

Maybe something there will pique your interest!

Post by: soera on March 06, 2014, 12:05:15 pm
My issue with FFX is a long story. Basically, while you mentioned that you are in the middle of the road of MMOs, I was the extreme. I played Everquest for 11 years averaging almost 12 hours a day the entire 11 years and I played DDO for another 18 months or so with nearly the same daily amount of playtime. I tried to quit EQ many times. One of those times I went out and bought a PS2 (which has another weird story Ill mention in a moment) to try to find something else to play. Well, this was around the time FFX came out so I bought it and the guide and started to play it. After about 8 hours of mostly watching a stupid FMV and actually controlling anything for maybe 20 seconds at a time, I said fuck it and swore it off completely. I hear loads of stories of people adoring this game though and I really want to give it another try though to say for sure whether I just dont like the game or not. The funny thing with the PS2 is another game was available too. Everquest online adventures ... another damned MMO. I ended up buying a second PS2 and played 2 characters co-op for almost a year as well as Everquest so not only did the PS2 not break me from Everquest but it got me to play 2 MMOs at one time.

I am signed up at NISA and I looked into Demon Gaze thanks to Disgaeniac. I hadnt notice the other game you mentioned so Ill take a look at that one. I desperately want to play another MMO but its deadly for my homelife to do so. With Dragon Quest X possibly getting a Western release as well as Elder Scrolls online, Everquest Next and Diablo III Reaper upcoming soon, I have to fight the addiction bad lately. I want to also get into another WRPG. My last was Amalur and that was far and away the best one Ive ever experienced. I hated the fact that I ran out of stuff to do there. That is probably the reason Im so obsessive with MMOs is that there is always "something" to do.

Thanks for the input. Ill check these out and I want to hear more from others!

Have you played Xenoblade?  When trying to describe it to someone I always say it's basically a single-player MMO.  Anyway, I adore that game, my favorite RPG of the gen.  If only it was hd it would have been perfect!

I currently play the PS3 version, but am going to likely swap out to the PC edition eventually. I'm on the Diabolos server, my character is Hayadi Hoyadi. The storyline is pretty epic and takes you through all the way into end game... but there is minimal voice acting and sometimes they really put me off (especially after playing the fully voiced SWOTR).
Title: Re: Pre-Ordered/Waiting for...
Post by: argyle on March 06, 2014, 12:21:20 pm
Great, I'll make sure to join that server.  :)

I noticed the lack of voice acting in the beta - would have been nice at least for the cut scenes.  Oh well, game still seems fun - I'm more concerned that they address the tiny font that was in the PS4 beta.

I do have Xenoblade, just havent started it yet (well, I played it for about an hour one night with the stepson and then got Bravely Default right after ... I need to put more time into it for sure).

I will say I watched 2 of the videos you linked. Fairy fencer is a definitely fuck yes. That looks exactly like what I am wanting. Right now its not even mentioned on NISA's website though. Drakengard is not what I was expecting and it looks neat but probably not something that would keep me focused.

I am going to go and take a look at Squenix's website and see if I can find a version of X/X2 I want to pre-order though. I think I need to give it a second try.
Title: Re: Pre-Ordered/Waiting for...
Post by: soera on March 06, 2014, 12:26:14 pm
Oh and I did give the Lightning returns demo a try. That is a pretty interesting game. The fight style seems pretty impressive but also seems like the character is simply too damned powerful. I did about a dozen fights and I dont think I took any damage in any of them.
Title: Re: Pre-Ordered/Waiting for...
Post by: argyle on March 06, 2014, 12:32:12 pm
I didn't care for the timer in LR at all.  I'll give it another try when it gets cheap, but the game is very big & seems to be begging to be explored while at the same time punishing you for doing so.   :-\

My FFX experience was interesting.  The first time I played it, I did not like it.  They had changed some things from the previous games in the series (I first started playing them with 7), such as ditching the overworld map, and I found the story confusing.  Towards the end I was just pushing through to see the credits which left me underpowered for the final boss and therefore that fight was more frustrating than it should have been.  Just did not like the game.

At the time, I was working with a good friend of mine who had also played it but DID enjoy it.  Off and on the game would come up, and I would tell him what I didn't like while he would counter with why it wasn't really a bad thing.  He also explained the story more to me and generally just kept talking up the game.  So when they announced FFX-2, I decided I would give FFX one more shot before the sequel released.  So this time I started the game knowing more what I was in for and played it more slowly.  And I found myself getting absolutely absorbed by it.  I couldn't believe I had complained about things in the game I was now loving, and by the time I reached the end a second time I had decided it was my favorite game in the series.  Still is.   :)

Dude you need to play more Xenoblade! The story in that game had me so invested in it, it was ridiculous. I think after I finish playing Lords of Shadow 2, I'll pop it in and finish it off too... I might start over though.
Title: Re: Pre-Ordered/Waiting for...
Post by: argyle on March 06, 2014, 02:15:42 pm
I'll say this, if you're looking for a fun way to burn 100 hours then Xenoblade will do that and more - I think I had clocked around 120 in it by the time the credits rolled, and there was still a lot I missed.  Incredible game!

Don't have anything pre-ordered right now.  Mostly only gonna do that from now on if I can get something good out of it, like getting hold of a special edition of something.  Hoping Mario Kart 8 gets the same pre-order bonuses it's getting in Europe where you get a little statue in the special edition.  Then I'd be inclined to pre-order.

Yup, I got that Mugen Souls Z email last night & instantly preordered.  :P  Was just coming here to mention it in fact.

Hah!

Ya gots 2 be quicker than that (*OR* live in a different time zone)   ;)

Heh, if I hadn't had a splitting headache last night I probably would have posted it then.   :-[

And I like that NISA's limited editions are ACTUALLY limited.  It's a fluke that the original Mugen Souls set is still available, most of them sellout before they're even released.

I was considering the D3 CE because.. you know, CEs.  But I figured I should save a little bit of my money for once - I never played the other Diablos, so I can't really claim to be *that* big of a fan to justify a CE.
Title: Re: Pre-Ordered/Waiting for...
Post by: scott on March 07, 2014, 07:58:46 pm
I already have the CE for Diablo III... so for me it's partly about keeping the set together... lol.

Plus the bonuses seem cooler in the RoS set, that the Second Son set. But then again, I love beanies and that beanie that comes in the Second Son CE is nice looking. :\

I didn't notice it until someone pointed it out over on CAG.  Until I see one in stores with my own eyes tho, it's just some colorblind art guy.  :P 

But uniformity went out the window w/ PS3 covers after they ditched the Spider-Man font.  But I think that was a small price to pay.  ;)

I suppose, I guess this makes three different PS3 standards. Same with Xbox though, I dunno if anyone noticed but 360 game banners post-Xbox One are now the same grassy green as Xbox One, instead of lime.

This - I want D3 on the PS4. 

And I've seen a grand total of 2 reviews for Witch & the Hundred Knight, but for some reason people on other forums are acting like it's already a given that the game is garbage.  It looked fun to me from the first footage I saw of it, and even the reviews seem to criticize the story elements and not the actual gameplay. 

I guess I'm saying people are weird, and I'm also looking forward to that game.  :P

Looks like my preorder list is currently as follows:

Lego Hobbit (PS3)
Hakuoki - Limited (PS3)

Dragon Quest Rugs (9 of them! Two sets of the standard release, one set of the SE JP Store only release.)
Dragon Quest VII 3DS OST (1st Edition, comes with a clear file and something else, I believe.)

Not that I've heard, unfortunately. I'm keeping my fingers crossed, but I've learned over the last 20 years to be rather skeptical (with anything Dragon Quest and US release) until it actually shows up. xD;

It does seem like a no brainer. But Squenix doesnt really do no brainers very well.

I am also skeptical over anything involving DQ. Hell, the way its going DQX is going to be the first main series game not brought to the states.
Title: Re: Pre-Ordered/Waiting for...
Post by: argyle on March 11, 2014, 06:19:03 pm
You make good points, tho I can *almost* give them a pass on DQX, as much as it pains me to say it, due to the poor sales of the Wii U & the cost of running servers they'd have to take on.  And yeah, I know it came out for the Wii as well but that's deader than the Wii U these days.   :-\

But DQ7 I can't wrap my head around.  AFAIK, the DS DQ ports sold well.  Bravely Default was a big success for them from what I understand and, hello, old-school RPG.  I just can't figure what their reasoning would be on that.

I'm honestly not that surprised on DQX, although I am a bit disappointed. But I do agree that I think the VII revamp would be a perfect port option, but as we all know, anything DQ often gets the short end of the stick.

I expect I'll be picking a Wii U back up (had one last year but barely used it, and the crazy trade-in GS gave for it right before the PS4 launched was too good to pass up) the day X is released.  And if that was the only game I ever bought on the system, if Xenoblade is anything to go by, that would be ok.  :)

So I try to reciprocate as much as I can. I think I succeeded the time we went to Home Depot for a project of his, we spent a whole 1 hour and a half there, and in the end he decided to forget about it and we left empty-handed :P He spends a lot of time video game hunting with me, so it was fair in the end :o

I just preordered the Pier Solar for Dreamcast and the reprint for Genesis. kinda really excited for these! now i just have to get a dreamcast lol.
I forgot that this was on Kickstarter.  Looking at the store, I can't decide between the Genesis or Dreamcast version.  In a way, I kind of want to splurge for both.

I'm having a similar problem. I want Genesis, Dreamcast, Strategy guide, and that enhanced soundtrack that's sold out :/. I'm not sure I can even afford one of them right now lol.

So - after finding out about & talking to Argyle about it, and then doing some reading & research on the series...I just got back from pre-ordering Deception IV: Blood Ties for the PS3 @ my local GS  ;D

It comes out on Tuesday (the same day that The Witch & the 100 Knight does)  :o

For only being March ==> this year is starting off as a pretty damned expensive one as a gamer & a collector  :-\

Lol, and I just cancelled mine today!  Only because I see several retailers selling it, there's no CE or anything for it and I don't have time to play it right now.

Oh, and because I placed a preorder for the new BlazBlue CE that comes out Tues instead.   :o

Ya I finally got a new video card after having my PC down for something like 6 months. I picked up http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16814127687 . As for my OS, I'm running Windows Vista Ultimate which came w/ my Dell when I first bought it. I thought about upgrading to Windows 7, but I've never had a problem w/ Vista so I decided to leave it be.

Just preordered Pier Solar HD on the Dreamcast as well, along with the strategy guide. I wanted to get the Genesis version as well, but don't have $120 to blow on one game right now. Question for you other guys that preordered it, is it supposed to come out on 3/25 or is that just when they stop preorders on it? Either way, super stoked about this game :D

You guys are going to talk me into getting that Pier Solar for the Dreamcast.  I never heard of that game or any one in the series if there is one until on this forum recently...  My problem is that I always seem to hesitate when it comes to a homebrew game for some reason.

This is definitely a homebrew worth getting. The genesis version received excellent reviews, and the Dreamcast version is the same game, but with better graphics. I love the Dreamcast homebrew scene, and every homebrew I own (have 5 right now I believe) has been very high quality and awesome all around. Sturmwind which came out last summer might be the best looking Dreamcast game I have ever seen, highly recommend it to any shooter fan :)

Currently waiting for the 3G/Wifi-capable PlayStation Vita I ordered from the Sony Store to arrive.

As the new generation of consoles and handhelds begin, my physical collection days are ending.  Although, I will continue to collect from past generations, none of my PS4, Vita, and possibly 3DS games will appear here.

I have a few soundtracks right now. Bravely Default, Witch, Ys Legacy, Radiant Historia (which I havent opened yet cause its still sealed first release version), Rhapsody, and FF VII Crisis core.

I had Ys books I & II from the actual Turbo Duo game on my computer but that harddrive crashed and all my stuff is gone. I also dont have a single DQ soundtrack (shocking eh) and Id love to get a few of those especially VII and VIII.

Welp, I too jumped on pre-ordering (though it's supposed to be released today) Pier Solar for the Dreamcast and it's strategy guide.

Financially, I probably shouldn't have, but the little bit of money I had in my paypal helped ease the pain lol.

Meh; not necessarily "bad" (hence just making a comment instead of starting off a new user feedback thread for someone w/ a negative post) -but- moreso inconvenient, inconsiderate, and, IMO, in bad taste.

In a nutshell:

My 1st deal with Greg (Argyle) = he did his research, read my feedback here over the years, and (more than likely) talked to other long-time members about dealing with me ==> then, (as the "new guy" aka unknown quantity) offered to send to me 1st; which to me, makes sense & is just plain old "Netiquette" & the way things have always been done.

Then - Warmsignal (as a very new member to our community) requested that I set aside one of my Witch & the 100 Knight LE's...almost a month ago(?).

We even talked & agreed upon a price.

Then, yesterday, he seemed surprised that I wasn't going to just send it off to him in the mail -and- that (since he was so new) that I had the 'audacity' to actualy expect him to pay up front.

Lastly, "being surprised at the way I do business"...he just went & got it somewhere else  :o

Not the end of the world since I have other interested buyers + (like I said) - I'll give the benefit of the doubt by not "marking/making" his "Permanent Record" (read: User Feedback thread) here start off on such a bad note -but- I *did* feel it worthy & deserving of a comment to the other regulars here who will be reading this to keep in mind...

Yeah, I agree with how things were handled.  Your feedback and info has been up and available (and super positive) for a while, and any of the regulars here could attest to your character.

I've totally been fine with paying upfront (the sooner the better), if the other person doesn't give me any pause.  I mean, looking at your posts, your info immediately to the left says you've posted over 3k times and are a pro supporter.  And then, if I look at your profile, you've been a member for almost two years.  This is even before I get to your user feedback! :P

I've done, like, A LOT of deals online.  :P  And I thought my deals w/ Kenny have been some of the smoothest I've been involved with.  And yeah, I always assume when I go to a new community that I'll be sending first until I get some feedback - aka goodwill/trust - built up with the community.  I have over 100 positive feedback on CAG, but what does that mean here?  Jack squat.  ;)

Anyway, I'm not trying to come down on anyone, just wanted to inject my .02 that Kenny is one of the friendliest, most upfront dudes on the 'net as far as I'm concerned and I thought our first transaction was not only per the standard but above & beyond in terms of communication, shipping speed & packaging and plain 'old friendliness.  :)

Then, yesterday, he seemed surprised that I wasn't going to just send it off to him in the mail -and- that (since he was so new) that I had the 'audacity' to actualy expect him to pay up front.

Lastly, "being surprised at the way I do business"...he just went & got it somewhere else  :o

Not the end of the world since I have other interested buyers + (like I said) - I'll give the benefit of the doubt by not "marking/making" his "Permanent Record" (read: User Feedback thread) here start off on such a bad note -but- I *did* feel it worthy & deserving of a comment to the other regulars here who will be reading this to keep in mind...

Hey, what happened to you reassuring me that no matter what I decided to do, you would not take it personally or be offended? Because it sounds like I did offend you! :-[ I also never made any such implications towards your dealings with words like audacity and such, I simply said that "I was not aware" of your dealing methods. That's honest. I wasn't aware you did cash only! (My mistake).

I think we are confused about my thoughts regarding etiquette - let me clear that up - I wasn't surprised about who should send first, because I expected to pay first! Like anyone else here, I've dealt many many times online and I am content with pay first, then receive! I was surprised about the request to send actual cash money through the mail. Just wasn't comfy with that idea, and wasn't expecting it. You even said to me that you knew I'd think it sounded weird! It wasn't that I don't trust you, I am just weary of putting cash money in the mail.

When I posted a want-to-buy thread for W&HN, you responded asked me if I wanted it - I said yes, in fact, I did. We agreed on a price. However, I did not think to ask (nor did you tell me) about any specific transaction methods before we settled that I wanted it and you would sell it to me for X amount. We didn't dot the i's and cross the t's properly.  :-\

I meant nothing personal by this very abrupt cancellation and felt reassured by Kenny that he felt the same way if I was uncomfortable sending cash. In hindsight, perhaps it was in poor taste to tell him that I had purchased it elsewhere, but know that this came after he told me he was okay with whatever I decided... I must apologize if this sounded spiteful. I was just excited to get the thing, and was pretty certain that the sale of Kenny's copy was directly in line for someone else if couldn't do the deal.

Just so that everyone knows from this point forward - I buy and sell online via PayPal only. Also, I will happily pay first, since I am new and I have no issue with that. I also have an irrefutable feedback score elsewhere for reference if needed. I only backed out this one time because the details were not ironed out before the time came to do the deal. I believe Kenny did use the word "cash" early in our initial talks, but that did not occur to me that he meant "cash money". I will take responsibility for this error. It happens, again, nothing personal and I apologize if I offended you Kenny.

I'm not offended or taking it personally - ask anyone who's been around here long enough to have seen me while offended or taking it personally ;)

Like I said, there's a reason that it's posted here.

Anyways, yeah - I definitely said cash when we agreed on the price.

Anything that I've ever sold (or bought) here has always been for cash through the mail & there's never been a problem w/ sending or receiving it.

I don't have any hard feelings, I guess that I was just disappointed because it's my 1st time here that something that was agreed upon didn't happen.

Not exactly on topic, but I never send cash through the mail, I had several rounds get pinched back in the day, and never again. That's what money order is for, because if it gets stolen, you have recourse. But if it's worked for you, keep on trucking. xD;

Oh, I'm also okay with "cash equivalents" (like Postal Money orders, AMEX traveller's cheques, etc).

Also Everything I send & almost everything that I receive has tracking + delivery confirmation, too.

Well, some other considerations of mine are:

a).  This place (*especially* the regular & consistent members and posters) has felt more like a community of brothers, sisters, and close friends to me than any other generic & anonymous group of on-line people whom I've never met irl - so much so, that I never felt that trust (IE me saying that I'd never received $ that someone sent and/or someone saying that "the check's in the mail" OR "I sent it...*Really* - it must have gotten lost in the mail" was never even an issue that I've worried about -AND-

b).  All but one of my 'real' cash transactions here have had me always sending or receiving amounts of $100 or less.

* The exception being when I bought ~ $500, or so of items  from CranberryRiddles.

While he's an extremely rare & inconsistent poster here, we've known each other for at least 5 years or so from elsewhere so he had enough trust in me to tell me (and give me a tracking #) the day that he shipped everything -AND- I mailed him a postal money order for 1/2 of the agreed upon total, and the same day that I received everything - I mailed him a 2nd postal money order for the remaining 1/2.

I dunno - maybe I've just been lucky & a pretty good judge of character (which I am) in all of my on-line transactions so far...
Title: Re: Pre-Ordered/Waiting for...
Post by: anruiukimi on March 28, 2014, 03:27:05 pm
Oh, I understand fully. I just know what the PO can do to mail first hand AND through my work, sadly. I've had to send back payments at work because the checks/money orders have been completely obliterated by the post. It's actually rather sad sometimes. ^^;

I've had a few of my etsy sales never show at their destination, and I was 99% the buyers were being upfront with me. For me, it's often postal errors than scammers, it seems. I once bought a LP on Ebay, which never showed after waiting almost 3 weeks (and he had sworn that he had shipped it asap,) so I got a refund through paypal. It showed up a month and a half later, with a postmark that showed that he HAD shipped it when he said he had. I sent him his money again. Wacky stuff~

"Baby-Making-Sim"?!  :P

I've got it pre-ordered also (Vita version); are you getting it for the Vita or the 3DS, Karyann?

*Another* pre-order of mine that I'm pretty stoked for should actually be getting here a week or 2 after Conception 2 comes out -

Demon Gaze...

...anyone else getting/thinking about snatching that one up?

Sorcery Saga for the Vita.

It's supposed to be kind of a "Roguelite"  8)

While it is a roguelike - it's also supposed to be pretty accessible to those unfamiliar w/ the genre (which wouldn't be me:)

It still looked cute, fun, and I liked what I saw & heard of the art & music = worth (a $30) shot  ;D

Completely random question - what's your favorite Rogue-like that isn't GFP?  ;)  I got into the genre with Nightmare of Druaga on the PS2.  And I *really* enjoyed the Chocobo one on the Wii.

Hmm...maybe Azure Dreams.

We'll soon see though, since, from what I understand, at least - the "new" (International version) content ("The Last Mission") for FFX-2 is supposedly also a rogue-like...

Unlosing Ranger vs Darkdeath Evilman was really fun too, though...  ???

Did you read Kashell's review then?

What'd ya go with...vanilla or CE?

Speaking of CE's...ye-a-a-h; decided to downgrade my pre-order of the Hakuoki CE to the game-only version (*after* seeing what my extra $20 for the CE was getting me:)  :o

That'll teach me (maybe) to stop always just pre-ordering the CE by 'default'  8)

The review + the fact that I saw how scarce it was already.  There's no Gamestop within 100 miles of me that has it, and they don't even offer it online anymore.   :o  Most other retailers never sold it to begin with, so...figured I'd better jump now.  And the only negative - if you can call it that - he said about the game in the review is that you have to like Rogue-likes to enjoy it.  And I do.  :)

Went with the CE because it was only $10 more, and I had a $10 Amazon credit anyway.  Goofy stuff included, but I do like unique collectables (I have such oddities as a Starfox Adventures car air freshener and a Steambot Chronicles mini harmonica in my swag collection).   

Even so, I may downgrade my Hakuoki as well - I forgot that it's a $20 difference on that one, was thinking it was only $10.  The extras in that set definitely don't look like they justify $20. 

I'll be sure to fill you in once the boxes arrive.  :D

One game I'm kind of waiting for is a lesser known title, Raven's Cry. Should be hitting stores in May. It's a pirate themed game, and I've been wanting to play a good one for a while. I like to consider myself a supporter of TopWare, they make often underrated triple-a titles. They've been in some legal trouble with Lucas Arts over some stupid chess game for the past two years, but they're getting ready to release Raven's Cry finally. I hope it does at least as well as Two Worlds II did.

Is there anyone else who is getting frustrated with the lack of info regarding Pier Solar HD's release? I have scoured Watermelon's website and forums and the only info I can find is that they "might" be releasing it the end of this month. I understand making a game like this takes time, and that is totally okay, but it would be nice to get some official updates.
I always thought that this game was out already considering that eBay users are selling theirs.

One game I'm kind of waiting for is a lesser known title, Raven's Cry. Should be hitting stores in May. It's a pirate themed game, and I've been wanting to play a good one for a while. I like to consider myself a supporter of TopWare, they make often underrated triple-a titles. They've been in some legal trouble with Lucas Arts over some stupid chess game for the past two years, but they're getting ready to release Raven's Cry finally. I hope it does at least as well as Two Worlds II did.

http://www.ravenscry-game.com/en/

You mean Interplay? Really, when Interplay has a decade-old game called Battle Chess and TopWare releases a game called Battle VS Chess, how in the hell did they think they wouldn't get sued?

... and that whole business was two years ago. They settled that lawsuit with Interplay back then and changed the name to "Check Vs Mate" in the US.

At first I was interested because I saw that it was a RPG with pirate themes.  Then I heard about a magic system involving summoned crows and weird weaponry.  I think I'll pass.

I hear this a lot, but I gotta say I've had 4 orders fulfilled by them so far this year (Lightning Returns CE, FFX-X2 CE, FFXIV PS4 CE & a order of random games they had on sale) and haven't had any trouble with any of them.  They all arrived on time (FFXIV actually got here before release day) and all in perfect condition.  Compared to other retailers I've been dealing with online lately - Amazon, who almost always packages CE shoddily so they arrive damaged and Best Buy who not only packages stuff poorly but also has it consistently get to me the day AFTER release - they're doing fantastic.  I can't speak for their customer service because I haven't had to contact them, but otherwise I have zero complaints *knock on wood*

Thanks a lot, but I'll pass this time :) If I'm to drop $70, I currently prefer to do it on many items rather than just one. I guess it will eventually go down in value, I'll just take it then. I should be done with school by then!

My girlfriend ordered Lightning Returns CE for me along with a cactuar plushy. The plushy went on back order so they held up the entire order for about 2 months. She called them a bunch and they were just uncooperative.

I personally have had a decent experience, but that was buying only one thing. I guess your mileage might vary!

Oh sure, and I'm not denying that others have had problems - they clearly have, I've heard a ton of stories.  I've avoided the particular pitfall you ran into by only ordering things together that release at the same time (FFX-X2 I ordered both PS3 & Vita versions together, I ordered 2 copies of FFXIV - one for me & one for my wife - etc.).  As for customer service, based on my recent experience I'd be surprised if anyone could top NISA.  Just unbelievably good service from that company, makes me want to support them that much more.

Hehe, don't worry, I'm spoken for.  ;)

But seriously, it's not just that - I'm very impressed with how they email you before they ship a preorder to let you know you should double-check your shipping & billing info.  A nice extra effort that's appreciated.  And when they had the recent shipping snafu with Danganronpa (where they had apparently switched to a new shipping company for the first time) they not only quickly offered replacements to anyone affected but apparently corrected the issue because when The Witch & The Hundred Knight shipped it was packaged very well. 

Basically, they genuinely seem to care about their customers, which is rare these days.  :)

Yeah, the one that I ordered is the 1st game -and- (on Amazon, at least) there were 1 or 2 left (around the $50 range (*sealed*) & the rest were already at $100+)!

I'm pretty sure that I heard something about another one; heh...they even have a specially-made controller for it (going for around another $150)  :o

But, yeah - I'd guess that now would be a good time to get the 1st one if you're interested in it because I doubt that it's going to start going down in price...

Amazon.

I think there's still 1 or 2 new ones on there @ $50; then, the next one's $100 (for a few copies) & the next one jumps to ~$150.

My friend from GS was telling me that no stores within 100 miles of me had it (new or used) and that (she thought) they were trying to & told to buy-up & hold onto any loose copies that come into the store...I was gonna get it eventually, anyways...just convinced me to do so now rather than later  ;)

A wise decision as it stands now....  Microsoft is still flubbing in marketing, policies, and support fairly heavily right now....  I won't say the Sony is doing phenomenal, but since they're not making serious mistakes and steadily pushing what they are doing right the favor is definitely with them....  I have been tracking my store sales and the numbers have a wide margin....  Keep in mind I only deal in the used market, so take what I say with a grain of salt....  I have no direct observation of any new merchandise....

If Ive learned anything about Skylanders lately is that Christmas time Black Friday at Toys R Us is THE place to be to pick up the starter kits. Swap force was like $20 a set last BF.

Its digital only? Man that sucks. I wonder if the people that release these games realize all the sales they lose cause of digital only items. Hell, just right here, 3 people who would buy are not cause of digital only.

Not only that...they're already making a fucking physical CE for the UK -so- it's just us that's getting screwed out of a physical release  >:(

I mean...I could always import it *BUT* fuck 'em if they've already worked-out everything in order to make a physical release -and- just decided not give it to us!

Sort of. The UK release has a box & some physical extras, but the game still isn't on a disk - the set includes a code for you to download the digital game.

Still, if that set was available over here I'd buy the game day-1 just for that Amano poster.   :(

Thanks for the clarification...I didn't know that; still wouldn't get it in that case.

Who knows, though - stranger things have happened (like me owning Journey (IMO, an over-hyped & digital-only game) on a disc), etc...

I totally agree with you on Journey.  Never did "get" that game - thought people calling it that year's GOTY were nuts. 

I definitely prefer physical games when that option's available, but if digital is all there is I won't let that stop me.  CoL looks amazing, so I'll definitely own it at some point - it's just that with digital, there aren't any supply issues to be concerned with so unless I was going to play it right away it doesn't make any sense to get it at release.  ;)

Anyone else here picking up Bound By Flame next week?  I have it preordered because it looks very cool by the trailers - but I'm a little hesitant as well since the dev hasn't really done much else and it kinda came out of nowhere.  If it's universally panned I'll probably cancel & just wait for a price drop, but I'm hoping it turns out good.  :)

Oh, I thought I mentioned that - I canceled it completely.  My wife decided she didn't want it after all, and I'm certainly not going to play it.  :P  Might pick the game up for her anyway when/if it gets cheap, but she didn't have a "day 1 gotta have it" interest in it so that $$ can be better used elsewhere.  ;)

Actually...now that I think about it, when I canceled that preorder I move the credit over to Bound By Flame.  :P  BBF is a western-style RPG - artstyle looks Skyrim-esque, but combat reminds me a LOT of Kingdoms of Amalur from the videos I've seen.  Even has the 3 skill trees you can build up like Amalur.  If it's as good as that game was, I'll be happy.  :)

I actually backed the kickstarter for Pier solar HD.From the kickstarter page's recent update it's going to hopefully get released before E3 and they apologize for the lack of updates
 As far as physical releases go the only ones are PC and Dreamcast. The rest are digital. As for which version I'm getting... Dreamcast of course.

I'm *really* ignorant & not knowledgeable at all about/when it comes to anime...

I own a few (from N1) that I've yet to watch (one of them is a big, boxed Persona set), and the 3 Geneon Disgaea 1 DVD's (*natch!*) + some other (unwatched) ones that people have gven me over the years (like High School of the Dead & a few "Black Bible" (I think they're called) ones).

I'm pretty sure that the only ones that I've actually *watched* that I own are the Berserk set (which I enjoyed) & The Grave of the Fireflies (which, while not disliking it...IMO, it seemed to fall short of all of the hype & praise surrounding & associated with it - then again - maybe it was just a case of "there had been so much hype for so long that; maybe it was already destined to come up short no matter how good it was".

So...what's CCS about & what makes it special enough to you that you'd still want to get it/see it another time, buddy?

I'd love to see it again, and I'll end up with it sooner or later I'm sure. 

It's kinda cutesy, so I'll put that out there, but from the games you play I doubt that's an issue.  It would be classified as a "magical girl" anime, but it's just so well done - the characters are all really likable, it's very funny, I adore the artwork and it's just a fun show to watch.

Oh, and it features this song in one of the episodes:

They haven't always, though.

I'm thinking/estimating that ~5 years ago is when they started licensing, releasing, re-releasing, etc different anime series.

Also, you noticed that there were 3 different versions, right Karyann?

Only the MOST expensive one was $200 - there were 2 other options that were considerably less expensive  ;)

I'm within 2 hours of NYC -SO- if anyone *Really* wants this & is prevented from getting it strictly by it being impossible to get there...PM/get in touch with me & I'm sure that we'll be able to work something out with me picking them up for you  :)

If it was more interesting of a limited edition, I would jump on it.

I really wish NISA would hurry up on releasing my game. :D

Yeah, I'm not a big enough Mario Kart (or Mario period I suppose) fan to go out of my way for that set (heck, I probably wouldn't spend $80 on it if it were widely available).  But the first thing I thought when I read that news was "way to give scalpers a great opportunity to gouge your fans, Nintendo."  :-\

I really don't see the point in making it so unbelievably limited here, to one store in the entire country, but it's apparently freely available in Europe.  Is there a particular reason Nintendo doesn't really like to gives us the extra goodies? Are there just not enough people buying the bonus stuff? I really wanted that Link Between Worlds chest that was in Europe lol

If I'm not mistaken, the Wind Waker HD CE set sold out before it was released, so I doubt poor sales is the reason.

Just bugs me as I'd probably buy most Nintendo things that came with a cool bonus figurine or something lol

This is great, they are actually releasing the limited edition Mario Kart 8 in North America!  The problem? You can only buy it and get it from the Nintendo World store in New York  :-\

http://wiiudaily.com/2014/05/mario-kart-8-limited-edition-bundle/

Step 1: Release limited edition with goodies that are not compelling for a system that is underselling.
Step 2: Only sell it at one store in the entire country.
Step 3: ???
Step 4: Profit!

Well this sucks.  I have the Elder Scrolls Online PS4 CE preordered from BB w/ store credit.  It's paid off because it WAS going to release in June.  Well...of course, now it's not - they're saying 6 more months, and personally I'd add an "at least" to that.  So I was going to just put another preorder down for the set in-store, just put $5 on it instead & then cancel the other one to free up all that credit.  Except they aren't taking preorders for it anymore.  No one is.  And if I remember correctly, BB won't let you change payment methods.  So...it's either keep $88 credit tied up for the rest of the year, minimum, or cancel the CE and probably not get it.   :-\

I never quite left, but have tried to restrict my time, otherwise I get bitten by the itch to buy too many games. PDX job market fml :(

Thanks.  I actually just decided to use a few minutes of my pre paid phone to give them a call to double check.  She said that I could actually go up there before Friday to pick up the poster because they have a few of them so I may do that.  Im kind  of happy because when I began the pre-order a few months ago, there was no info. on a free poster so Im happy about that  :)

I think you'd like it.

The 7 tracks that I've heard (pleasantly & unsurprisingly) sound a lot like the NieR OST.

If you get it...might wanna' do so soon, because:

- I don't think they made all that many of them since there's already a cap of no more than 5 per customer &

- It's a niche OST for a niche game...once their stock's gone - they'll probably be on Amazon (starting out) at around double what they cost now.

Do you have/have you heard the NieR OST and/or played the game, Brad?

Bah, I caved, I pre-ordered Battlefield Hardline.  I wasn't going to after the BF3 and BF4 launch issues, but I'm giving this one the benefit of the doubt right now.  It's a different developer with Visceral doing it, it's an offshoot game instead of a main release so it won't require any overhauled graphics or network changes so it should run fine especially after all the work DICE has put into fixing the games, and it's been in the works for the past two years.  Not too mention I feel like it'll be a game that's more scaled gear and weapon wise, so hopefully less explosive nonsense this time which is an issue in Battlefield 4.  I'm just so impatient and such a big fan of the series, I couldn't help myself...Oh well, I know I'm going to enjoy the game.

Pre-orders from Gamestop right now give a little metal police badge money clip.

Did one more guilt-ridden thing and pre-ordered the Tales of Xillia 2 Collector's Edition. Once upon a time, I wouldn't give that series the time of day, but ever since Vesperia, I'm hooked like a junkie!

Heh, I'm in the exact same place.  I haven't been able to pull the trigger on that Xillia 2 CE tho - I *want* it, but I just can't justify $130 on a single game, especially not with everything else that's coming out this year that I want.  Definitely getting the standard game & the CE guide tho!

Not sure if any of you have been keeping up with  https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/438269196/shiness

Anyhow, it ended this morning and was enough to make PS4/XboxNone so I am "waiting" for my version which will be one hell of a badass limited edition once I get it :D

I tend to be skeptical of these things.  .99 might be 1.00 but you can't buy that 1.00 item for .99, you're still short that .01.    :P

edit:  They should of went ps3 360 too.  I would of bought this off the marketplace no questions asked.

I was honestly hoping for PS3 too. But seeing as the game isnt going to release til April of next year, I can understand why they are doing the most recent gen only.

Also, they are going to open up a Paypal option soon for people that missed the kickstarter ... If you guys are interested, keep watching it.

That's cool but I don't have any of the next gen systems, and this PC isn't even close to spec for the game.  It's running a Pentium 4 HT and a Nvidia GeForce 8400GS with 2 GB of ram.  :'(  My intention is to build another and turn this one into a MAME cab.  If I can ever figure that emulator out, and if I could quit spending money on other stuff.

Put in a preorder for Persona 4 Arena Ultimax on 360. Amazingly this'll be the first 360 game I've bought in a long time. Had to go w/ the 360 version, so I could use my Hori Fightstick. :)

I've had the game for a while actually.  Every now and then I find one in my collection that kinda went AWOL when we moved servers.

Oh yeah I love the series.  Never made it through the first one.  During that scene with Lyner and Aurica my wife came busting into the living room thinking I was watching porn.  I haven't been able to touch it since.   ::)

I'm still trying to decide which games to pre-order right now. There are many that I know I will buy down the road, but which ones should I choose first? Amazon hasn't listed yet the SmMash Bros U bundle with the gamecube controller + adapter, I wonder if they will before their 30% off offer ends...  :-\

Destiny
Hyrule Warriors
Dragon Age: Inquisition

One Piece: Unlimited World Red
Destiny
Middle-Earth: Shadow of Mordor

And I also put my preorder down w/ NISA for the Danganronpa 2: Goodbye Despair LE.  They're currently at <50% stock, for anyone that's interested.

I know how you feel Karyann.  It's a tough decision.  Especially with the multitude of games Nintendo is coming out with it.  Smash Bros. Bunclde, Bayonetta 2 with Bayonetta 1 combo pack, Devils Third, etc. I'm very excited to be a Nintendo Wii U owner at this point  :D

You just have to put down $5 and pay the rest when you pick up the game at release. In case you ever decided to cancel the preorder, you can transfer the amount to another preorder or ask for a refund.  You're also always welcome to put money towards it slowly if that works better for you.  I've done that before when I've gotten giftcards so that I don't have to worry about bringing them in when it's time to actually pick up the game.

EDIT: I just realized you wrote gamestop.com... You pay the entire amount up front, I believe :\

ANOTHER EDIT:  from the gamestop site:
Pre-order any product and if the price drops before the release date, you will be charged the lower price. Online orders are not billed until your shipment is processed, so pre-order today.

So I don't think they charge you until a little bit before the actual launch date.

This bestbuy.ca/amazon.ca sale (that I previously posted) might be the end of me. Some games don't even have titles yet, but I'm going for it for the discount. I pre-ordered 33 games during that sale, so my pre-order list looks something like that now:

Borderlands : The Pre-Sequel
Final Fantasy XV
Kingdom Hearts 3
Xenoblade Chronicles X
Shin Megami Tensei X Fire Emblem
Hyrule Warriors
Sonic Boom 3DS
Fantasy Life
Final Fantasy Type-0 HD
Persona 5
Persona Q Shadow Of The Labyrinth
Zelda
Mario Maker
Kirby & The Rainbow Curse
Star Fox
One Piece Unlimited World Red Day One Edition
Batman: Arkham Knight
Smash Bros. 3DS
Smash Bros. Wii U
Professor Layton vs. Phoenix Wright Ace Attourney
Fairy Fencer F
Akiba's Trip Undead & Undressed
Captain Toad: Treasure Tracker
Freedom Wars
Yoshi's Woolly World
Splatoon
Bloodborne
Mirror's Edge 2
Bayonetta 2

Maybe (these are games I'm at least somewhat likely to cancel out of my orders for varying reasons)
Sonic Boom Wii U (need to see more)
Theatrhythm Final Fantasy: Curtain Call (not sure why I pre-ordered that)
The Last of Us Remastered (I dunno, I just wanna wait for it to be 20$)
Far Cry 4 (I'm not sure because it's not Blood Dragon 2... Blood Dragon kicks the ass of every other Far Cry game)
Destiny (depends on how much I like the beta... and I got access to the Alpha as well!)
Middle Earth Shadow of Mordor (need to see more)
Starwars Battlefront (need to see literally anything)

I also put Let It Die in there but turns out that's apparently a free-to-play game so it might as well not exist.

In the US, BB changed up their Gamer's Club - members get 20% off of *every* new game they buy year-round.  And other deals stack with it, so they'll often offer a $10 Reward Zone cert as a preorder bonus (as they did on the 2 I preordered yesterday) that we'll get as well.  So $60 -20% = $48 - $10 back = $38.  If Amazon down here HAD been offering that deal, I would have only been interested for the games BB doesn't have that $10 bonus on anyway.  ;)

Haven't dove in to the full batch of pre-orders I'm gonna get, but started seriously with Hyrule Warriors.  I had Battlefield Hardline pre-ordered, but I had let my fanboy take over for me with that, so I canceled it and put it onto Hyrule Warriors.  Was gonna do Dead Rising 3 on PC since that'll be out first, but it's not up for pre-order yet.  Eventually I'm gonna get Bayonetta 2, Super Smash Bros Deluxe package, might splurge on the collector's edition of Far Cry 4 just because, still deciding on Destiny, and will be pre-ordering Borderlands Pre-Sequel.  Pretty sure that's all I have to pre-order...

OH! Forgot about Metro 2033 and Last Light Redux! I'm pre-ordering those on Steam since if you own the original versions, you get both of the Redux games for essentially the price of 1.  Super in love with those games and can't wait to replay 2033 especially with the overhauled graphics and gameplay.

Wii U bundle which comes with the gamecube adapter and a "special edition smash bros" gamecube controller.  Looking at the controller on the Gamestop website (which was not available during the pre order), that controller is not appealing to me at all.  The individual Mario, Yoshi, Princess, etc. gamecube U controllers look so much better.  I feel like I have just wasted a pre-order when I could have gotten the game and the other controller  :( :( :( :'(

Yeah just cancel your pre-order and move it to the regular version.  I hadn't see those other Gamecube controllers, but I see why you want them, they look pretty badass.  I might instead get the regular version of Smash and then pre-order the Mario controller.

Just to clarify, those nicer gamecube controllers are Classic Pro controllers. They need to be tethered to a wiimote like you see in the pictures. I thought about getting one instead of the Wii U pro controller, but they're not the same. So for games that don't support the Classic Pro on the Wii U, those won't work.

I'm not sure if that's the case with the gamecube adapter or not.

Ah, ok, Pelican I know.  ;)  I've never been a fan of third-party accessories of any kind really, but there is the very rare exception where someone beside the console manufacturer makes something that's really high quality.

I don't expect this to be one of those times.  :P

There are times that 3rd party stuff is good, but those are few and far between.  Hori has an excellent reputation.  I've heard the MadCatz fight sticks are fantastic.  My SNES Ascii Pad is great.  And, who can forget the NES Zipper?  I wish I have 10 of those little jewels.

I've never been unsatisfied with any Logitech products I've bought. They're pretty sturdy and last a long time too. I've got an old Logitech Dual Action PC controller from many years ago and it still works just as well as the day I bought it. I even like the feel of it better than some of my 1st party console controllers. The prices on Logitech's stuff is generally pretty good too.

Funny you should say that :)

When I made my post - it was with the PS2 wireless controller & the keyboard (which is still working & still being used w/ my PS3) in mind  :o

And yeah, Abe - as far as pricing's concerned...I've never felt like I was paying too much for any of the Logitech stuff that I've bought & used over the years; fairly priced merch, IMO!

Yup - in fact (and I don't know if it's like this w/ the PS3 or not) but Final Fantasy XIV even recognizes the touchpad on the keyboard so you can use that like a mouse if you want.  The only trouble I've had with that keyboard is that I used it so much that the letters were rubbing off the keys.  :P  Grabbed this from Amazon and it's as good (or maybe even better!) as new!

Heh, that's awesome - I never would have even thought to look for such a thing!

I dunno...maybe I was in a fugue state, or something -but- after 'coming to' and finding myself in a GS store, whilst browsing the aisles, I found a PS3 game that I *really* didn't want that badly.

Which game?

Lightning Returns.

However, after seeing it (I'm guessing; mis) marked @ $9.99 (still sealed, no less:) I picked it up.

Also pre-ordered 1 each of:

Rorona Plus

and

Akiba's Strange Trip.

The timer was a real turn-off for me in LR.  The combat is a lot of fun, and the world is begging to be explored, but with the timer you feel like you're being penalized for doing so.  :(

My other issue is that the "story" is complete nonsense and doesn't line up with the other games at all from what I could tell.  They could have easily continued directly from the story of X-2 - which was an absolutely brilliant game - but for some reason they decided people really wanted Lightning back?  Iunno, I liked Vanille better myself.

All that said, I'll still give it another shot eventually - I'd grab it for $10.  :)

And wow - speaking of Lightning Returns - I never knew this was a thing.  This controller looks awesome!   :o

I'll basically mimic what Argyle said in that having the timer stressed me out a bit. I purchased the strategy guide so I'd get an idea of what's available to me at what points, but I haven't played it since I received the strategy guide. My GF and I have been busy playing Yoshi's Island on super nintendo :D

I did not realize that either.  I need to read more.  I guess I will stick with the bundle so I can be sure to get an official Nintendo controller

I actually came close to not pre-ordering this one (just because I don't prefer, don't want to encourage/set a precedent for, and/or enjoy supporting non-console Persona games) the

Persona Q LE and

as more of a spur-of-the-moment decision (w/o having done any research in the least); pre-purchase made in the spirit of

 "Let's try something new & different that looks fun"

I also went ahead & pre-ordered the

Professor Layton vs. Pheonix Wright game.

Now, (believe it or not) I've never played a single Layton and/or Pheonix Wright game *so*...

What I understand for North America is that Bayonetta 2 will be available either physical or digital. Physical will include the first game, and if you buy Bayonetta 2 digital, you'll get a discount on the first game.

Anyone else understood the same, or was it different too?

Heh, I done fucked it up now...

A week or 2 ago (when I was in GS, pre-ordering the sequel to Akiba's Trip & Atelier Rorona Plus)...I decided to also go ahead & pre-order an LE of the upcoming Persona Q: Labyrinth game.

Knowing what standard "game=only" / vanilla 3-DS games cost when they 1st release = when I paid for my Persona Q pre-order, because of its price (~ $55), I just asumed that it was for the premium/LE.

Good thing that I was browsing on-line & found out that I was wrong (on my way to GS now to update my pre-order) to the 'right' version; the one that comes with an OST CD AND that nifty-looking, Persona-themed 3-DS holder (which...I'd have been HELLA pissed at myself for missing out on)  :o

I usually pre-order stuff at Best Buy or on special sites. I had to go yesterday to move my Diablo III Reaper of souls order from one GS to another one.

Class of Heroes is a super limited special edition game that not alot of people are going to have access to order.

I spread the (pre-ordering) Love!

If it's something from/by N1; it's a no-brainer (for me, at least) to pre-order from them.  Not just because they happen to make games that I like but...also because of the professionalism, competence, & courtesy that they treat their customers with.

Lastly, (if you're in the US) they have a 'spending-Incentive' program, too.

I'm not 100% sure on these #'s -but- it might be like $10 on every $100 spent; at any rate (in my case), I'll bet that adds up to 3-5 competely "free" games a year.

I will also pre-order from Amazon (on-line) & GS (brick & mortars)...IF I really want something & they're the only options.

I know that I'm in the minority in this -but- (unless it's on-line/using a credit card or something) - when I do place my pre-orders at (say GS)...I do it completely with cash & pay-it-off 100% at the time of pre-order.

Im planning on hitting up Best Buy this week to get in on the Persona Q Wild card set as well.
Title: Re: Pre-Ordered/Waiting for...
Post by: argyle on June 26, 2014, 01:45:51 pm
Best Buy changed up their Gamer's Club Unlocked late last year.  They had a special offer if you had been a previous member where you could join for 2 years for $30.  The normal price of it is 2 years for $120 now ( :o I know, but bear with me...) but they often run it on sale for 2 years for $60 - that might be still going on now.

So why on earth would you want to spend $60 for 2 years of their membership?  Simple - they give you 20% off of every new game you purchase.  That 20% comes off of sale prices and stacks with other deals, like their "preorder certain games & get $10 store credit back".  Since most of the big releases for the rest of the year fall under THAT deal, that makes them (for me, with my 10% sales tax) $60 - 20% = $48 + 10% tax = $52.80 - $10 credit back = $42.80.  Roughly $43 for a day-1 new release?  You can't beat that.  So that $30/year membership fee will quickly pay for itself.  :D

And that's not even taking into account the preorder bonus DLC they usually give you, which I typically immediately sell on ebay for about a $10 profit.  ;)

It is out in Japan already, there's a few reviews out for it. Though, I haven't seen too many English reviews of it yet. I'll link the one I found at the end of my post (the reviewer gave it a whole 4/10 points :-\).

I agree. The limited edition is rather underwhelming too. An art book, a bag I'll never use/know where to keep, and a tear-resistant poster. Golly gee NISA... thanks I guess. ??? NISA's LEs have been pretty disappointing lately.

Haha, thanks!  Yup, all platforms are gone already - that's what really surprises me, honestly.  I swore I checked yesterday or the day before, and they were still available (though I didn't check to see how the stock was doing).

Got an email about Pier Solar today. In case anyone else is interested:


"Some of you have been asking about the release date of the Mega Drive/Genesis REPRINT of Pier Solar for Mega Drive/Genesis. The reason for its delay is because of a new manufacturing method. The purpose of it is to increase and secure quality. At the moment, everything except the boards of the cartridges is ready.

We are expecting four more weeks of delay before the production starts.

For the DREAMCAST and PC/LINUX/MAC edition of the game, we will announce a release date shortly.

Two pictures:

We apologize for this delay. If you have any further questions, please contact our support.

http://www.magicalgamefactory.com/en/faq/contact-support_5/

We will keep you updated by email about the status of your preorder. Thank you for your understanding."

Ah I wasn't sure either. I just figured what the hell. I ordered the Genesis and Dreamcast versions and was really upset that it was delayed again at first; but then I remembered that I'm not planning on opening either of them. I'll just wait till it drops on Wii U and play it there.

I went by BB today & preordered *6* upcoming games.  Going to preorder the Limited Ed. of Destiny from them as soon as they list it, then that will have everything I'm planning on for the rest of the year taken care of.  Won't promise something unexpected won't slip in tho (if BB puts one of those $10 preorder bonuses on either Dragon Age and/or Alien: Isolation, they're getting preordered ;) ). Right now, this is everything I have preordered (with the ones I reserved today in bold):

The Last of Us (PS4) -   7/29/14
Danganronpa 2: Goodbye Despair - 9/2/14
Hyrule Warriors -   9/26/14
Middle-Earth: Shadow of Mordor   10/7/14
Evolve - 10/21/14
Assassin's Creed: Unity - 10/28/14
Farcry 4 - 11/18/14
Persona Q Premium Edition - 11/25/14
Class of Heroes 2G - ??/??/14
Elder Scrolls Online Imperial Edition - ??/??/14 (for the wife :P)
Grand Theft Auto V (PS4) - ??/??/14
The Order: 1886 Collector's Edition    - 2/20/15

http://www.siliconera.com/2013/09/24/ar-tonelico-and-ciel-no-surge-combined-for-gusts-next-game-ar-no-surge/

so I went to GS & pre-ordered myself one of these  ;D

Haha...just noticed it releases the same day as soera-fencer Fairy Fencer F  8)

This last 1/2 of 2014 is, by far, going to be the most expensive 1/2 year with the most new games (RPG's) of the entire last gen for me (not counting months when I bought 1 (or more) Giclees:)

I beat it a couple of times. It was certainly not easy. Mainly because it's actually awkward as hell to play with the attack button on the side.

Picked up some really cheap games using some of the Gamestop b2g1 <$20 coupons yesterday.  Most of them were things I was putting back in my collection that I used to own or replacing digital copies with physical ones.  But I picked up one that I had never played before, Fuel.  An offroad racer by the guys behind the Dirt & Grid series, it has an awesome free-roam mode that lets you just drive in any direction and discover challenges, vistas, collectables, etc.  Seems like an excellent pickup for only $5 (less factoring in the b2g1).

In Japan you can buy the case separately, but it's kinda expensive if you want to import it.
Here's a link to the listing on Play-Asia: http://www.play-asia.com/persona-q-design-case-for-3ds-ll-paOS-13-49-en-70-7kmp.html (http://www.play-asia.com/persona-q-design-case-for-3ds-ll-paOS-13-49-en-70-7kmp.html)
Here's another website selling one: http://www.nin-nin-game.com/en/japanese-import-nintendo-3ds-accessories/10465-compact-pouch-case-persona-q-designed-3dsll-en.html (http://www.nin-nin-game.com/en/japanese-import-nintendo-3ds-accessories/10465-compact-pouch-case-persona-q-designed-3dsll-en.html)
There's really no sense in importing it though if you want to buy Persona Q anyways. It's best just to buy the premium edition.

I'm a big fan of Persona stuff, so of course I want Persona Q. Also I really like Etrian Odyssey and when I found out that it was a Persona spin-off w/ EO gameplay I was hooked.

I was going to go with the regular edition, but when I saw that case I was like... SOLD.

Then again, there's still many weeks, several months, and my B-Day between now & when it releases and that *is* a very cool case for the 3DS...so, anything is still possible!

I could see your point if not for 2 things:

2) Persona 5 has already been announced for the PS3

The most "concrete" release date we've gotten so far for Persona 5 is some time in 2015 for North America. I haven't heard about much regarding Persona 5 and Persona 4 Dancing All Night since the first time they were announced for localization over here.

I don't like the idea of the Persona games releasing on handhelds instead of consoles (in addition to would be just fine) -and- as a Big fan of "voting with my wallet", I'm not sure that it's something that I want to support.

Then again, there's still many weeks, several months, and my B-Day between now & when it releases and that *is* a very cool case for the 3DS...so, anything is still possible!

Personally, I'll take any release over no US releases any day. Which is why I backed Diamond Trust of London on DS, and Class of Heroes 2 for PSP. And why I'll buy any physical release of an Atlus title. Doesn't matter if it's on a large or small screen, so long as it's coming stateside.

I get that way of thinking - that anything is better than nothing, I really do...and I've made exceptions to my own guidelines several times.

I don't like supporting digital-only games because, if digital-only games get enough support - from a financial & bottom line point of view, at least - companies would be foolish to ever make physical versions of their games; especially when people will pay just as much for the digital versions.

That said, there's been a few digital-only games that I've wanted to play badly enough to buy.

I think that it's a slippery slope kind of thing though, because if "anything is better than nothing"...then companies can get away with giving us/selling us...*anything* and, once that precedent's set - they'll be able to get away with giving us less and less precisely because they're confident that we'll buy (read: settle for) whatever they give us.

Just my opinion but, I think that the "anything is better than nothing" mindset gives the companies entirely too much power and makes the consumers way too powerless & desperate.

By any release, I mean physical release. As long as it on Any form of console, tv based or handheld, it doesn't matter to me. As long as we are getting it in the US too.

I only go Digital on PC any more (Steam). Or if it's something that will never see a disc release ever (Castle Crashers, Super Meat Boy, etc).

Saw this beautiful bundle on Craigslist last night (while camping actually).

It's the 60gb launch model with hardware PS2 compatibility. Never had a YLOD. Comes with 3 controllers, wireless headset, every Call of Duty Game for PS3 (I'll be putting those in my sell list as I am not really a COD fan at all.), and all boxes and manuals.

I'm technically over my self imposed spending limit for this month but when I called my wife and told her about it she was like "the PS2 hardware compatible version? Ever YLOD? How much? Jump on that we can finally retire the PS2 fat!"

I love my wife. :)

(http://i61.tinypic.com/30hls3b.jpg)

I have a 500gb harddrive for it already (got it for my existing PS3 but never installed it).

I'm picking it up in 3 hours and I can barely wait!

I probably should wait and post this in the August pickups thread, but I need to kill the next 3 hours somehow! :)

My current list right now is...

Dead Rising 3 on Steam
Hyrule Warriors
Bayonetta 2
Super Smash Bros Bundle
Link Amiibo

Would've had the Zelda Amiibo also, but when I went to Gamestop, they didn't have an SKU for her for some reason, so I'll head back this week to see if they have her for pre-order.  I'm also thinking of Samus, but Zelda and Link are the main ones.  I also had the Monopoly Zelda pre-ordered, but money is tightening up abit and it comes up in the middle of September which has DR3 and Hyrule Warriors, not too mention a small convention coming up so I need at least a few bucks.

Mario Kart 8 had the spiked shell statue, Japan has the super Hyrule Warriors edition, with a lesser version coming to Europe, and we've seen it in the past with other games to.  Is it simply too costly to even do a limited selection of special editions for us?

Marth Amiibo
Tears to Tiara II: Heir to the Overlord (PS3)
I also "preordered" the reprint of the [Playstation 3 The Best] [New Price Version] of Tales of Vesperia. I may not understand enough Japanese to play it without a guide, but I have no intention of buying an Xbox360 just so I can play Tales of Vesperia and the other handful of 360 exclusives that actually interest me.

Yes, but there are more in English than I'll ever have time to play as it is.  :) 

And believe me, I'm a card-carrying Vesperia fanboy - that game single-handedly got me into the Tales series.  I will eventually own a 360 again just for that game, it's that good.  And I'd love to play the extra content they added w/ the PS3 version.  But I just wouldn't enjoy it having to read a script online while I play.

My understanding is the reason that game was never translated to English on the PS3 is because MS paid for exclusivity on it in Western countries.  This is before they discovered that A) They will never, ever, ever, ever be successful in Japan and B) RPGs, while still very popular in the West, are still a niche and will never sell on the level of Call of Duty, GTA, Destiny, etc. 

The following is my personal dream situation - but assuming the exclusivity was for last gen, it would be amazing if B-N ported the game to the PS4 & released THAT in the US.   8)

I dont know I could possibly see a remaster for ToV later in the distant future for ps4/x1. The other tales were redone to the last year gen (ps3/360).

Also, for playing the Japanese version of Tales of Vesperia, there's always this: http://talesofvesperia.net/ (http://talesofvesperia.net/)

Thanks a lot for that! I'm in the exact same situation as you, so this will come in handy :)

My (very short) list:

Pre-ordered
Class of Heroes 2G
Super Smash Bros 3DS + Wii U versions
Windwaker Link Nendoroid (not a game, but kinda game related  :P )

Will maybe pre-order
- Link, Marth, Villager amiibo

Seems there was a small update on the Gaijin Works forums about the status of CoH 2G by Vic Ireland on 8/30:

Quote
Various components have been in production for weeks, that's still ongoing. Once they all come together, they'll be shipped to SDM for assembly and we'll have a stronger idea of the assembly timeframe. I'll definitely post when we do. The main page and game's page in the PS3 section was updated earlier in the week with the actual box coversheet that's being used instead of the placeholder during the presale. The design of the original box placeholder we used is now the manual cover. The PS3 game was also officially re-rated to E10, just like the final PSP rating.

And here's the new box art he mentioned:

It's a Gamestop exclusive, so check with your Gamestop/EB Games. 

EDIT:  And it for some weird reason they aren't going to sell it in Canada, PM me and I'll help you out.  :)

I've been frequently checking EB Games for a while now and it's still not up for preorder. :'( For some reason, I found the North American version up for preorder on Play-Asia. :o If it turns out Canada doesn't get it for some strange reason, I would appreciate the help. Thanks for the offer. :)

Except they should, because EB Games is a division of GameStop. It's kinda like Future Shop and Best Buy, they're almost the same and owned by the same corporation.

I normally don't pre-order games because I honestly find it kind of silly and most of the time I'd rather wait until a price drop. But I went ahead and pre-ordered several games anyway:

Super Smash Bros. for 3DS and Wii U
Hyrule Warriors
Sherlock Holmes: Crimes and Punishments (I'm a Sherlock nerd...)
The Evil Within

Was thinking about Alien: Isolation as well but I should probably wait to find out if it'll actually even be good, considering the last Aliens game.

Traded in my Vita yesterday for a whopping $160 at Gamestop.  Thought that was a ridiculous amount for a trade-in.  Used the credit to preorder & pay off a Playstation TV, finished paying off my Alien: Isolation & Tales of Hearts preorders and picked up One Piece: Romance Dawn for the 3DS (technically used, but looks brand-new & even included the unused Club Nintendo code).  And still had a buck left over. :P

Most of the Vita games I want to play are RPGs, and I'd rather play those on the TV.  But my wife still has a Vita, so if I really need/want to play something on it I can.  My 3DS has taken over as my primary portable tho, mainly due to its ability to play DS games. ;)

I said that I wasn't going to support (spend *my* money) on any more games/series that have always been play-able on tv's that are now receiving exclusively handheld releases (like Persona Q on the 3DS)...and, Damn!  Did I like & want that Persona-themed 3DS case  ???  AND I stuck to my long-time & favorite policy of "voting/speaking with my wallet".

However   ;)

I do not presume to tell anyone else how they should spend their own money and/or what they should/shouldn't or what they can/can't spend it on  :P

So far this month -

- Carrie's pre-ordered / is paying for & giving me a PSTV for my B-Day (true, I'll have to wait until the 25th to get my hand on it :P )

- I've pre-ordered Tears to Tiara 2 for myself (so I can get the 1st run art book with it), and

- She told me a little while ago that she's pre-ordered / is paying for & giving me the Persona Q Premium set as a (tbd/tba) gift!

My B-Day's on 10/25,

Persona Q comes out on 11/25, and

X-Mas is on 12/25  8)

Sooooooo, while I don't know if I'll actually get it in November or December...I DO know that I will be getting it --and-- it's really irrelevant when I get it because I wouldn't be playing it this year, either way AND, I also know that I'm lucky to have such a thoughtful & generous woman for my girl...maybe I should go tell her that  :-[

Yes, just console & charger.  Mine was the original model, not sure what they're giving for the new one.  The only stipulation is you have to be a Power Up Rewards Pro member - if you are, you should have a coupon code in your active offers on the site that will add $50 to the base trade-in price (which is obviously $110 ;) ).

I though so too, but I guess they must have uped their trade-in values for various items ever since the new policy was announced about a few months ago. Anyways, $160 is quite an awesome amount of money just for trading in the vita and charger.

I though so too, but I guess they must have uped their trade-in values for various items ever since the new policy was announced about a few months ago. Anyways, $160 is quite an awesome amount of money just for trading in the vita and charger.

Ah yeah, the bf started working at Gamestop about a month ago and said right when he was hired that they were about to roll out a better trade-in policy, netting customers something like 20% more than what it used to be.

It's 20%+ more? That will defenitely help the trade-in of some coveted games, systems, and coveted working phones. I still wouldn't trade in many of my games to Gamestop, but at least they're trying to give people a better value and be more competitive to other stores that allow trade-ins for games so its a good step in the positive direction.

My local GS' newest *push,* that they've been annoying the hell outta' me with, is trying to sell me some kind of new "GS" credit card...is anybody/eveybody else getting this too?

My friend & GS manager told me that her store's expectation/quota is to sell 10 of these per day --but-- reality = that they're lucky to move 3-5 of em a day  :o

Absolutely not - they sent me an email about it and it said the starting APR is 27.9%! :o I need another cc like I need another hole in my head anyway, but yeesh - sounds like something to take advantage of younger people who don't have any credit built up yet.

eh, It's on par with other store credit cards, but with a little looking around you can find one with a much better APR I know my bank offers a much better one off the top of my head.

I'm sure it's different for each store.  My bf wasn't told to push it heavily - just passively mention it to folks because it's so new.

It doesn't sound any different from something like a Target CC or anything else (only useable at their store and not as a regular credit card elsewhere), and the interest rate is awful, but it's not necessarily a bad thing to get for someone who has no credit or bad credit.  They gotta start somewhere if they wanna start creating a good CC history.

I actually would've considered getting it (because I buy so much from Gamestop), but at the moment, there are no perks to using it - no extra Powerup points, discounts, or anything.  Hopefully they'll have promotions associated with the card in the future that might make it worth it.

I don't know if this affects anyone elses pre-order of the Smash Bros Controller Bundle, but it's been confirmed that the adapter and Gamecube controller will ONLY work for Smash Bros.  Kinda disappointing really. I was just getting it for kicks as another controller to have since I only have a pro controller, but only being able to use for Smash Bros kinda bums me out.  I might drop the bundle and go for just the standard game instead.

http://www.nintendolife.com/news/2014/10/turns_out_the_gamecube_controller_adapter_wont_be_compatible_with_other_wii_u_software

It's possible this turns out not to be true, but not really happy about it.

Huh, I'd jump on that deal if so (and then never use the card :P). 

And I'm seriously thinking about canceling my Smash bundle after hearing that news about the GC controllers.  I don't really need another GC controller, I already have a ton - I was mainly getting it because I assumed the adapter would work with other games, at least VC stuff.  Downgrading would save me $35...heck, part of me wants to just cancel it completely for now.  I have no one to play it with anyway, so I don't know how long the single player would hold my interest.  :-\

- Persona Q Limited Edition (3DS)
- Every Nintendo Amiibo

Title: Re: Pre-Ordered/Waiting for...
Post by: kamikazekeeg on October 14, 2014, 11:41:14 pm
My selection is currently Bayonetta 2, Super Smash Bros without the controller bundle as I changed my mind, Zelda and Link Amiibos, and I'm likely to get a pre-order for Captain Toad.  I'm probably gonna get Far Cry 4 also, just trying to figure out if the budget will work with that, so I'm probably not gonna pre-order it.
Title: Re: Pre-Ordered/Waiting for...
Post by: argyle on October 15, 2014, 10:42:59 am
My ever-changing list currently looks like this:

Samurai Warriors 4 Special Anime Pack (ps4) - 10-21-14
Shadow Warrior (ps4) - 10-21-14
Bayonetta 2 - 10-24-14
Tales of Hearts R - 11-11-14
Grand Theft Auto V (ps4) - 11-18-14
Persona Q Wild Cards Ed. - 11-25-14
Class of Heroes 2G - ??/??/14

That will leave me with about $60 GS credit. I'm probably going to hang onto that until Black Friday - I am tempted by both Farcry 4 & Dragon Age: Inquisition, but it's definitely not uncommon for new-release EA & Ubi Soft games to go on sale at BF. I already have more on my plate than I can play anyway. :P

Yup, a 360. I guess it's also a Lost Odyssey player. ;)

In all seriousness, there are some exclusives I'm gonna try to pickup while they're cheap.  But unlike most people it seems, anything I can get on my PS3 I will, the 360 will ONLY be for exclusives. Mostly the Japanese stuff (the few JRPGs that are exclusive to it, the shmups, etc.).

Hoping to pick up Far Cry 4 tomorrow if I can see a PC port report from someone by then.  Far Cry 3 ran fine, so I'm hoping Far Cry 4 does also, especially since they allowed reviews early for the game, at least on console that is..  Seems to be, if they don't allow reviews early for a game, it's likely to be poor, such as with AC: Unity lol

Since I know that you love you some swag - just like me - you may want to check out the

Record of Agarest War LE

for dat 360!

All we got in NA (for the PS3) was the digital only version from PSN.

Surprisingly (figuring in genre + niche-ness), for some reason - the 360 version got the physical LE (with, iirc, a good amount of swag with it)   ;D

There was also a physical EU PS3 release of the game but, I'm not sure if they just got the vanilla game or the same LE that the 360 did; go figure  ???

I'm getting that series on the PS3 and have already decided to import them all (the series is called Agarest: Generations of War in EU, and the anal-retentive collector in me couldn't stand having the first game not match the others in series title :P ). In fact, I've already imported the third game in the series, CE, because I found a really good deal on it. Don't really feel like I have to have the CE's for these tho, just got that one because there was very little price difference between it & the standard version. :)

bf played FC4 yesterday and really enjoyed it.  He hasn't played the other FCs but the game looks beautiful.  There are a few random glitches, but they're the funny kind rather than the kind that makes you mad and ruins the game.  But yeah.. ugh, Unity... it's like they didn't even bother testing the actual product on someone's "normal" computer.

I figure they're still pretty busy with the mess from the new website, so I'm not even gonna bother trying to have those transferred for another couple months. Mine doesn't expire until next September anyways, so I'm in no rush.

Like others have mentioned (...and, 'tis truly a sad day, especially when even *I'm* saying & feeling it) -but- N1's LE's have been pretty 'meh' lately >:(

At any rate - I've just put some orders + pre-orders in - for the vanilla-versions of the following (frickin' sweet February & March) ;D

(any day now) Akiba's Trip (PS4 version),

(2/3) Criminal Girls: Invite Only (Vita),

(2/24) Hyperdevotion Noire (Vita),

(3/10) Atelier Shallie (PS3) -and- Tokyo Twilight Ghosthunters (PS3), and

(3/17) Awakened Fate Ultimatum (PS3)

...X-Mas (loot)'s right around the corner, too ;)

You weren't interested in the LE of Shallie?  Didn't look too bad to me, but considering the number of titles you're picking up, I can understand being a little conservative.  The nice thing about games that *don't* have an LE is that I can hold off on buying them for a lil' bit... like Akiba's Trip or Fantasy Life.

I keep wondering if that will end up getting delayed again. It would've been nice to have seen it release back in July like it was originally supposed to. :'( According to this article (http://gematsu.com/2014/01/senran-kagura-producer-heading-ps-vita-ia-vocaloid-game), the game was almost half finished last January. What's taking them so long? :-\

I'm in the same boat as you.  I wasn't crazy about the colors being offered, but I keep telling myself that it's going to get modded anyway, and I have to let it go.  Thankfully we were able to get one of the MM CEs as well, and we'll be anxiously awaiting the Monster Hunter 4U CEs.

Same here! Part of me wanted to hold out, but my reasoning was that I wouldn't want to mod a limited edition console anyway.  But yeah, if I weren't planning on getting it modded, I would've felt even *more* conflicted.  But I did really want to play Monster Hunter since it'll be my first one.

I don't mind at all!  Just sending it out to be modded so that it will have a video-out for streaming, exactly as you said.  It'll be a while before it happens - I prefer one of the two modders who are offering the service, and the one I prefer is still designing the board.  Usually part of the case is cut to allow for access to the video-out, so modding a limited edition New 3DS XL would almost feel like treason.

Sounds cool. Do your preferred modders happen to have websites for their services? It's not something I'd have done any time soon, but it's an interesting idea for something to do down the road. I'm assuming that the video output goes to your PC, yes? It sounds cool to be able to output 3DS games to a TV from a PC. :D

I don't think I'd want to have a limited edition New 3DS modded either, especially with how much harder they are to get a hold of lately with all the scalpers and whatnot.

Yup, the two modders you'll usually see named off when people talk about 3DS modding is Loopy (3dscapture.com) and Katsukity (3dsvideocapture.com).  They're often mistaken for each other (as you can tell by the URLs), but the big thing is that folks usually care about is that Loopy is US-based while Katsukity is Japan-based, and Katsukity offers a lot more in regard to what systems they will mod.  Loopy currently only does DS and 3DS (non-XL, non-New) but is currently working on the XL boards and the New 3DS XL.  He also just put up the mod (for self-install only) for people to plug in various controllers into their 2DS/3DS/3DS XL.

You should expect to pay about $200-$250 for the installation of a capture card into your 3DS, though he hasn't put any prices up yet.  I have a DS modded from him, and that only cost $75.  No telling if the regular 3DS capture card will also go down in price.

The video output goes to your PC, so you can play 3DS/DS games on your computer monitor.  It works great for my modded DS!  The original DS's screen is pretty terrible compared to a 24" computer monitor, ha.

Put my pre-order in for Operation Abyss: New Tokyo Legacy LE. The Famitsu review wasn't stellar, but I dig the art style and it's a dungeon crawler, so I figure it can't be too bad.

Still chomping at the bit for Persona 5 to go up for pre-order, though *twitch*

Good to know about Operation Abyss; I saw that email from NISA and was curious. And seriously, PERSONAAAAA5.

So glad to see you back on your feet with the collecting game - we missed you!

I still need to go back and grab it, but it's from the same doods that did Demon Gaze, if that tells you anything.

And yes, SO glad to be back on my feet - in every respect. 2014 was a rough one, but I took a gamble and for once in a rare while, it paid off! Time to catch up on everything I've missed - I've had to be satisfied living vicariously through you, Scott, Kimimi, and pac_pix :D

iirc, FF XII did that with its 1st print run; coming in a steel case + including an extra bonus DVD...

Also, to plant a little seed of hope for Persona 5, there IS a precedent -

My copy of Persona 2: Eternal Punishment (PS1), also included such a bonus disc ;)

I have no doubt that Atlus will put out a premium ed. of Persona 5 over here. They did it for both SMT IV and Persona Q after all.

Ah, thanks! I already sent NISA an e-mail about my issue, so I guess it would be better to wait than to pay and then mess things up in my order  :-\  I should have actually asked before sending an e-mail  :P

I dont know but it might take a while for nis to reply because nis is still over loaded with all the manual task of sorting out  paypal.

I sent a email during criminal girls LE payment @jan 24th and I have yet to receive any email about them seeing email or any sort of automatic email responses.

That's a good point. I just paid that way and sent a reply to my support automatic message; it said that I could add information by replying, so I told them it worked now. That way I know my game is secured, and they will have less work to do :) Thanks again! o/

I've always found it quicker & better to actually *call* N1 than sending & waiting for emails.

Always ask & write down the name of whoever you talk to.

IMO, Sandi is - by far - their best & most helpful.

I'll always & only talk to her.

heh, we've talked so much that we know each other by our voices & 1st names :P

After coming to a (kind of) tough decision - which I'll be talking about & getting around to explaining later this week - I've canceled my pre-orders for both Etrian Odyssey: Mystery Dungeon and Devil Survivor 2; both 3DS games...

...AND, while doing so, I went ahead & prepaid + pre-ordered:

the FFX/X-2 CE for the PS4 (5/12/15),

(why the hell not?  I've already bought it & played it on 2 consecutive generations of Sony hardware; why not make it 3) xD

Operation Abyss for the Vita(TV:) on (6/9/15), and...

(betcha' y'all never woulda' guessed)  ;)

Disgaea 5 PS4 (11/30/15)  ;D

That collector's edition would've been more impressive if the arm was to scale lol

I just pre-ordered Xenoblade Chronicles on the 3DS.  I'm pretty happy to finally get around to playing it.  Didn't own a Wii when it released and it sounds abit pricey to buy now, so getting it cheaper and without any possible motion controls is good to me.

Actually, the Japanese version of TPP has a 1:1 scale arm which looks hella nice. (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FYWVHAh-FYY (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FYWVHAh-FYY))
Also, Xenoblade is reallllly good...To be honesty I'm unsure if the 3DS will do the game justice seeing as the graphics seem very downscaled in quality. But don't let that deter you from the game if you just want to play it!

From what I've heard, it's an obvious downgrade in visuals, but that it runs very smooth, which I feel is more important in the end, especially on a handheld not known for its visual quality lol

Yeah, well come games do look amazing on the 3DS such as the legend of zelda remakes, but that's only comparing from the previous games. The 3DS is still a fantastic system as far as for portable gaming.

The downgrade is a bit expected to be honest. The 3DS has some graphical features that give it a mix between Gamecube/Wii in graphical power, and the reason why it's only on the New 3DS, is because apparently the design of the original 3DS has a graphical bottleneck that can limit the GPU performance thanks to the CPU.  At least it seems to run smoothly and the downgrade isn't too bad, and I think certain things may looker better on the small screen compared to a big tv screen.

I did the same thing - it looks like a really nice set overall, honestly. That steelbook & leather case are pretty swanky too. ;)

I decided to cancel my Xenoblade 3DS preorder. This was before all the visual downgrade talk too. I *love* the game, but the truth is I'm not going to play back through it right now, and if I was I'd probably rather play a New Game + on the Wii version.  I have too many RPGs in my backlog right now that I haven't played at all anyway.

I *love* the game, but the truth is I'm not going to play back through it right now, and if I was I'd probably rather play a New Game + on the Wii version.  I have too many RPGs in my backlog right now that I haven't played at all anyway.
ni no kuni that I have yet to finish.

Epic fail.
Lol, well when you have a BUNCH of games in a collection you tend to not want to play any games at all on some days.  :(

never mind The Soera!

He tends to get all elitist & snobbish regarding anything & everything NNK and/or DQ :o

Nosmiric -

check your sig - it's showing it's code  :-[

Turn-based. It's also an idol sim, similar to elements of THE iDOLM@STER or Hyperdimension Neptunia PP.

Just pre-ordered GTAV for PC.  Managed to get a promo code that dropped it down 15 bucks which is nice.  If you want it also, it's 25DEAL-ZONTVA-GEXCLU over at greenmangaming.com .  Only good till 30th.

Time for another update - I'm trying to be pickier with what I pickup at release, so my list is slimming down:

My updated preorder list for the year:

Bloodborne CE guide - delayed - on the bright side, I locked in my order at Amazon when it was $15 cheaper than it is now ;)
Legend of Zelda: A Link to the Past (graphic novel) - 05-05-2015
The Witcher 3 - 05-19-2015 - 2 copies, one for the missus ;D
The Witcher 3 CE guide - 05-19-2015
Batman: Arkham Knight LE - 06-23-2015
Onechanbara Z2: Chaos - 06-30-2015
Metal Gear Solid V: The Phantom Pain CE - 9/1/2015
Rodea The Sky Soldier LE - 9/22/2015

2016 & beyond... :

Uncharted 4: A Thief's End - ??-??-2016
Kingdom Hearts III - ??-??-??

Waiting for a chance to preorder, or to hear a firm date/possible LE details/etc.:

Tales of Zesteria
Dragon Quest Heroes
Xenoblade Chronicles X
Persona 5

Barring some uber-announcement, that may be all the day-1 games for me this year. Unless my wife makes me get her Lego Jurassic Park at release, because she's possibly a bigger JP fan than I am (and that's saying something! :P ).

EDIT: Oh! I also still have my The Last Guardian preorder that I placed in 2009 - but I'm convinced that's vaporware, so I don't really count it. :P

I'm assuming you're talking about The Last Guardian here. It's supposedly still in development, according to this article from not that long ago: http://www.gamespot.com/articles/the-last-guardian-still-in-development-sony-assure/1100-6425341/ (http://www.gamespot.com/articles/the-last-guardian-still-in-development-sony-assure/1100-6425341/). They might just  be taking a while because they're making it for the PS4 now rather than the PS3. Maybe. :'(

Not sure, honestly - I *think* there will be physical copies sold at retail, but they've also said the Kickstarter copies will have exclusive content.

On a similar note - anyone know if the LE is the only way to get the Wii version of Rodea The Sky Soldier, or will all first-run copies include it? If it's not exclusive to the LE I'm gonna cancel it, haven't been overly impressed w/ NISA's LE's lately and I imagine that game will drop in price fast anyway.

I'm pretty sure I remember reading somewhere that the Wii version of Rodea is limited to first print copies of the WiiU version of the game, rather than NISA's limited edition. I'm pretty sure I only preordered the LE because it wasn't too much more expensive than preordering the standard edition, not to get the Wii version.

Thanks. In my experience, these "first print run" deals are usually fairly common in games like this (Atlus games do the first print run soundtrack, etc. and those can *usually* be gotten a few months later at Amazon, typically for less $$). Gonna press my luck on this one anyway, given how much stuff is coming out this Fall that I really want.

Amazon.ca started their E3 preorder promotion, so I put in some preorders and redid some old preorders to save more money off of stuff I was already going to buy anyways. I preordered Doom (PS4), Fallout 4 (PS4), and Metal Gear Solid V: The Phantom Pain (PS4) and got 30% from preordering 3 at once. I ended up saving nearly $70 off the order with the E3 promo. :o I saved another $45 after redoing some old preorders I made months ago as well. :)

I'm so hyped for Fallout 4 after last night. ;D ;D ;D

Another update. Preordered a few more games with Amazon's 30% off, and also put in a preorder for the Corpse Party: Blood Drive Everafter Limited Edition (PS Vita). I'm really happy that not only did this Corpse Party get localized, but it also gets a physical release. :D

This fall is going to be especially rough on the wallet. :'( At least I saved a lot of money from the 30% off Amazon preorder promotion. I'm probably going to drop a couple of my lower priority preorders this fall especially if I want to preorder the Persona 4 DAN "Disco Fever" edition and since Persona 5 is still supposed to release some time this year too.

No necessarily a preorder, but I am backing the Shenmue III project at $500 right now.


Everyone, if you've ever played Shenmue and want to know how the story ends please support this game. Even if you haven't support anyways at any amount. This game is setting an excellent precedent in our community to make games that fans want and not games that big developers think we want.

Not much, according to Yu Suzuki the majority of the funds will come from individual backers. In fact, he says that around $10,000,000 is needed to create the game that he truly envisions. However, I am not funding it unless they have a physical PS4 copy. Until then, I am not spending a penny on it.

Yu Suzuki has come and and said that the majority of the game's budget will be through the Kickstarter so whatever assistance Sony is offering pales in comparison to what is needed by the Kickstarter.

It looks like I was too late in pre-ordering the "watch" version of Zero Escape 3. That makes me sad. Granted, I wouldn't wear the watch anyway, but still...I like the one I got from VLR. ~_~()

It didn't occur to me to count Kickstarters as pre-orders, but I guess that's exactly what they are.

So:
Bloodstained: Ritual of the Night
Yooka-Laylee

Just noticed that the PSN has the next Ratchet & Clank game up for pre-order, with a release date of next June.

That'd be great. Honestly, either version is fine with me. I have the 3DS version of VLR (with the snazzy watch) so 3DS is preferred, but Vita is also fine.

Thanks so much. This is the first time I ever used the amazon email alert, but I'm guessing it's not useful at all if they were available yesterday. ~_~()

In Canada we still can't pre-order even the standard edition, let alone the limited one  :-\ I'm afraid we won't even have the possibility of watches. Except if I missed an exclusive somewhere, which is possible too.

I feel like we'll still get the watches. We get that sort of stuff later than America all the time. Preorders for the Signature Edition of Mighty No 9 went up in 'Murica long before we got to preorder them here. Don't lose hope. :)

It said they are still unavailable ;__;

I have an email alert set in the event either of the two are back in stock, though. I hope Aksys realizes that they have a lot of fans that enjoy these stunning pieces of wristware.

In Canada we still can't pre-order even the standard edition, let alone the limited one  :-\ I'm afraid we won't even have the possibility of watches. Except if I missed an exclusive somewhere, which is possible too.

I feel like we'll still get the watches. We get that sort of stuff later than America all the time. Preorders for the Signature Edition of Mighty No 9 went up in 'Murica long before we got to preorder them here. Don't lose hope. :)

It's all relative - us 'Muricans feel (*resent*) Japanese releases in much the same way; sabes que¿¡

Are they just not releasing the Amiibo Mario Maker bundle in the USA? I've been waiting to pre-order the game so I could get that, but haven't seen it yet.  Not even the amiibo's have gone up for pre-order yet for the next batch, but are already out everywhere else.

I'm 99% sure I'm going to cancel the Mirror's Edge set. It's overpriced and doesn't appear to be so limited (GS has had it listed for over a month now...). I'm 50/50 on the CoD set - it's expensive too, but that fridge is just awesome. I'd be selling some of the DLC stuff to offset the cost, and I'm getting 20% off at BB...but I'm still not sure. I have time to make up my mind. :)

As a huge SaGa fan, I'm excited to announce that I placed my pre-order on amazon for Legend of Legacy. I just learned that there is a collector's edition, so I'm even more thrilled about that.

That's what it looks like. Seeing Tsuda's Kobayashi's artwork again is so wonderful.

EDIT: Why in the nine hells did I think Tsuda was the artist? Man, I'm losing it.

Where'd you get the collectors edition from?

Looking at the screen shots of game play, it looks a lot like Bravely default, which is a good thing.

I think I'm the only one that didn't like BD's graphics. It had it's moments, but...eh.

I placed my pre-order on Amazon. This is from their website:

"Pre-order Bonus: Art Book and Soundtrack
 Available in the Launch Edition of "The Legend of Legacy" on Nintendo 3DS, the  40-page Hardcover Art book and 10-track Soundtrack CD  offers a deeper look into a world built by legendary game creators. The collector’s box contains a beautifully adorned, limited edition CD soundtrack of the game’s music composed by legendary Masashi Hamauzu (SaGa, Final Fantasy XIII). The 40-page premium hardcover art book has full-color pages of character artwork, concept sketches, monster pages, and background art, accompanied by commentary from the game's character artist -- Tomomi Kobayashi -- renowned for her extravagant designs and beautiful coloring. Prepare to start your journey and enjoy the chance to fully immerse yourself in the stunning world of Avalon. Valid while supplies last. Offer valid when shipped and sold by Amazon."

I'm more excited about the art book, even though the music promises to be fantastic.

Nope, only imports from EU/JP regions. The peittion for a physical NA release doesn't seem to getting enough attention at the moment.

I'm in a whirlwind right now because I just placed what is probably my biggest Nintendo purchase to date. I'm getting a Nintendo Ultra Scope w/box. Working condition. I had been eyeing this one listing for over a year. I messaged the seller an offer (because it was it "Buy It Now" only) and he accepted despite being almost half of what they were asking. These are exceedingly uncommon on ebay. Since I've been looking for the past three (or so) years I've only spotted two or three of them and they didn't work.

I'm trying to decide what I want to get for December as there are currently three games with Xenoblade Chronicles X, Just Cause 3, and then I saw that Dragon Quest Heroes is also releasing on PC that week.  Two of which are highly investing games and I'm considering Just Cause 3 because it's the ultimate...NOTHING...game.  It has a story and things to do, but the primary aspect of the game is just to do crazy stuff.  It seems very freeing and I might have to consider that one.

Preordered the Odin Sphere Leifthrasir Storybook Edition.

Have they made any adjustments to the game play in this version? That special edition looks neat, despite the fact that the size L tee-shirt would look like a tent on me.

Odin Sphere was a gorgeous looking game, but playing it on the other hand...yikes.

There are some adjustments. Some info on the changes here (http://gematsu.com/2015/07/odin-sphere-leiftrasir-ps2-original-classic-mode). I realise some people that are at work right now may or may not be able to view this so I'll quote the important stuff below.

Quote from: Gematsu Article
    Regarding recreation…
    Ohnishi: “While we loved Odin Sphere, it’s a game that received some critical feedback. It was made as a successor to Princess Crown, but the result was something that betrayed the original form.
    “Because we released it with slowdowns and such, we couldn’t just do a simple HD-ification.
    “We didn’t want to seem like we thought, ‘sure enough it’s an old title, so,’—so instead thought we should rebuild it all again as we would a new VanillaWare game.
    “But on the other hand, since I’m sure we’ll have players that value the original version, we have the completely preserved original version included in HD [via Classic Mode]. We decided to make it a double-feature.”
    Regarding new mechanics…
    “We’re putting in mid-boss monsters not included in the original version. They’re called mid-bosses, but they’re more splendidly made than the old bosses. And enemies from the original game have a new thought logic to them, so you can play it with a fresh sense.
    “The controls have a Dragon’s Crown and Muramasa-like familiarity and easier sense of control to them.”

Hmm...I think I'll have to see footage at some point. Thanks for posting that information.

It was such a messy title. It had the look of an action game, but it didn't want you to play it like most action games. It still sounds like you have to go through the same levels again and fight the same bosses, but some people enjoyed that.

And I think I'm gonna pre-order Just Cause 3.  It's on sale a few bucks and I think I'm gonna get this over Xenoblade Chronicles X.  I really want to play that, but after Metal Gear Solid V and Fallout 4 lately, another huge time sink game feels abit overboard.  Put 100 hours into Fallout 4 and a 150 hours into MGSV lol

Think it'll be good to go nuts in Just Cause 3 instead with it's big colorful world of tethers, vehicles, and explosions.

Nights of Azure and Valkyria Chronicles (PS4) are two that I have pre-ordered at Game Stop.

On Amazon, I have a pre-order placed for Langrisser. I gave this some thought and looked at some footage, and decided that this was not going to be game that I enjoyed. A lack of Urushira's artwork doesn't help matters, either.

And I have a CE pre-ordered for Atelier Sophie from NISA's website.

It's going to be a wonderful spring and summer!

So I just counted my pre-order list I keep. Its 1) Games that have been actually pre-ordered 2) Games paid for on Kickstarter and 3) Games that are announced for upcoming release but have yet to actually get a date so its a placeholder.

Its 45 games right now. 7 Kickstarter (paid in full) 30 paid pre-orders 8 upcoming.

Its definitely eye opening the amount of awesome that is going to be released in our future.

And that doesnt count the games that Im hoping to be announced (Dragon Quest Builders/Heroes II/XI, Ys VIII, Dragon Fin Soup physical, Deep Down, etc) or the titles that LRG has yet to put a date on.

There's some rumors that the collector's edition of Tokyo Mirage Sessions #FE won't be available in Canada, which is believable since it's still not up for preorder anywhere and it wouldn't be the first time we've missed something with no good explanation as to why. Because of this, I decided to not risk missing out on what I'd consider to be part of my Fire Emblem collection and put in a preorder for the CE from the US GameStop online store. Hopefully it is no more than a baseless rumor and it will go up for preorder here soon so I can save some money.

Yeah, the cost is less than ideal, and worse than what it would've been from Amazon.com, but it's already sold out on Amazon.com. :'( At least our dollar isn't nearly as awful as it was a few months ago. :-\ I can't imagine that it'll end up costing as much as what scalpers will want on eBay even after the exchange rate and such.

Yeah, unfortunately Amazon sent my FE Fates Special Edition in a padded mailer, and the kind delivery person tried to hide it under my doormat... where I promptly stepped on it by accident  >:(

GameStop is usually better for us, but my bf (who works at one of the stores) says that GS may start packaging their games in those corrugated mailers... the ones with no padding and kinda just seal in the game between two pieces of cardboard. Those are probably better for the environment but don't do squat for helping to protect corners and edges...  Maybe that'll just be the case for their regular games with plastic cases, but who knows if they'll do that with special editions too  :o

Soooo... the Tokyo Mirage Sessions #FE special edition is available for preorder at EB Games in Canada. That's good, but what's not so good is the price. Wait for it... $120. >:( Yes, $120 Canadian. Before taxes. Closing in on $140 (for me) after taxes. Who decided these prices? Our dollar was at $0.77 USD last time I checked, not $0.66. ??? My order from GameStop's US website is cheaper after shipping and the exchange rate.

GameStop is usually better for us, but my bf (who works at one of the stores) says that GS may start packaging their games in those corrugated mailers... the ones with no padding and kinda just seal in the game between two pieces of cardboard.

Thanks for that info. I might have to settle for Amazon's sloppy shipping practices if it becomes available on Amazon.ca.

Soooo... the Tokyo Mirage Sessions #FE special edition is available for preorder at EB Games in Canada. That's good, but what's not so good is the price. Wait for it... $120. >:( Yes, $120 Canadian.

Ouch, that's crazy. I know a lot of folks were upset about the Canadian pricing for SMT: Apocalypse. I checked with the bf, and he said, depending on the size of the LE, they'd probably send it in a proper box.  That might've been the issue with FE:Fates SE... since it was on the smaller size, they may have just decided that a padded mailer was good enough for that.  I'm not sure how big that Tokyo Mirage SE would be, but maybe it'd be box-worthy?

Well, apparently the TMS #FE special edition is an EB Games exclusive in Canada. This news is coming from their official Twitter account, so there's no reason to doubt that. This gives me the impression that they think they can rip us off and charge $120 just because no other retailers will be carrying it out here, which really pisses me off. >:( I might just cancel my preorder from GameStop for that reason (since they're owned by the same company). There seems to be little demand for it. Preorders have been up for it on EB and GameStop for days now and at this point it seems that there's really no reason for it to be difficult to get later. I already have a 30% off promo preorder for the standard edition through Best Buy, so it's not like I won't be playing it at launch.

The Last Guardian. my only real expectations for this game is struggling figuring out how to properly manipulate trico (third ico), gameplay where you consider the emptiness of the world, the original size of the explorable world promised in 2008-2009, and very strong feeling being felt throughout the game/end of the game.

I never expect games to be good or bad, just to be what is promised.

I still have my Ice Blue N64.  I'd love for consoles to do that kind of stuff more regularly outside of the Limited Edition Game Bundle ones, as there's only basically been white or black.  I would've loved a blue one like the Dragon Quest XI PS4 Slim only released in Japan.

I don't pre-order often, usually it's reserved for the most anticipated games and I do it MAYBE once a year.

This is pre-order worthy, and I did it yesterday. I got the Special Edition, which is the middle-tier of the 3 releases. Has some extra missions and content in that edition.

(https://i.ytimg.com/vi/F63h3v9QV7w/maxresdefault.jpg)

I also plan on pre-ordering RE2, but will use Christmas money for that, which I always get from my in-laws.

Also been tossing around the idea of pre-ordering Shadow of the Tomb Raider, that gameplay footage at E3 looked damn fun. But on the fence, since day one purchases are pricey and I've already got 2 on lockdown here.

Pre-ordered Remnant from the Ashes for PS4, nobody seems to be talking about this Souls-Like Third Person Shooter, overall reviews are pretty decent for a B-Tier game. Once a physical was announced, had to grab it since these titles are harder to find at retail. I still haven't seen Fade to Silence at retail in my area.. I always enjoy these B-Tier games from THQ Nordic or Focus Home Interactive.

Also got an notification that my Limited Run Blasphemous Collector's Edition order is delayed until further notice due to the Corona Virus (COVID-19) - Factories in China have shut down currently. I'm OK with this, better to be safe during these uncertain times.

My pre-ordered copy of Samurai Shodown for the Switch came with a free DL for Samurai Shodown 2 Pocket Edition from the Neo Geo Color! I love surprises like this!

Ended up pre-ordering the new Avengers game as I am pretty interested in it and hopeful for it to be a cool action game and normally I don't pre-order this early (I think it got delayed till like September), but at Gamestop, if they last that long, there's an exclusive Marvel Legends Hulk figure bundled with it and my buddy wanted it, so I figured I'd do that for him whether I keep the game or not.

Was gonna wait a bit before picking up La-Mulana 1 & 2: Hidden Treasures Edition on the Switch but noticed it was selling out on various sites including the NIS America site as well. So Pre-ordered and secured my copy just to be safe. Looking forward to play this on the Switch! ;D

Right now for pre-orders:
Doom Eternal
Resident Evil 3 Remake
FF7 Remake
The Last of Us 2
Cyberpunk 2077 Collector's Edition

That's it so far.  Will probably add Ghosts of Tsushima, Halo Infinite, and Watch Dogs Legion at some point!

I bit the bullet and placed an order for Doom Eternal yesterday.  The reviews, coupled with the Amazon discount and pre-order bonus of Doom 64 made it too good to pass up.

Waiting on some more Saturn games and 3x Power Memory to arrive from Japan. I expect it to take longer than usual (I ordered it 2 weeks ago) and also hope that I will be able to actually get the items in the mail since they are not being delivered to my home.

I preordered both Outriders (PS5) and Mass Effect Legendary Edition (PS4/5). Not sure if there was a point to preordering either though beyond I'm simply used to doing it. I'm not buying collector's editions of either so...

I preordered the Disgaea 6 collectors edition looking foward to playing this and devoting about 100+ hours of my life to this game.

Not exactly pre-orders, but I just placed an order for Star Wars Squadrons and Ring Fit Adventure from Amazon, and neither will be arriving for over a month.  :o

Adding Resident Evil Village to that list.

I like that it looks to have a more traditional RE style, while using the new first-person perspective.

As it stands Resident Evil Village

When is Gotham Knights going on pre-order? I'm starting to wonder if it's going to be pushed back to 2022.

Recently got a PSP 2001 Piano Black from a thrift store for $5 8). It was missing the battery and cover but I figured what the heck.
Ordered a new battery and got a good sized SD card so I could use it as an emulator (Already have one that I'm not going to emulation).
Got it all set up and working. Starting playing some CastleVania and some other games. I notice that the screen is starting to have some tearing.
Start looking for a screen on ebay or someplace.

Basically now I'm waiting on a new screen for this $5 PSP that has turned into a $70 PSP at this point.
At least I get some enjoyment out of fixing old consoles.

Interesting seeing this thread again. I never did pick up Outriders. The only thing I'm currently waiting on is my LRG copy of Ninja Turtles Shredder's Revenge on PS4. I was notified to finalize my address as needed by the end of the month. Shouldn't be much longer. I'm not sure I'll preorder anything from here.
Title: Re: Pre-Ordered/Waiting for...
Post by: kamikazekeeg on September 17, 2022, 11:05:59 pm
I don't pre-order stuff as much these days, though I think the only game I have on pre-order currently is Shredder's Revenge physical.  Already did a run through it on Xbox/PC Game Pass, but the physical is for the collection to have on Switch and go with the Cowabunga Collection I have.

For games I'm waiting to come out over the next couple months...

Bayonetta 3 - I enjoyed the second game and looking forward to the crazy kaiju-esque action they are adding in.

God of War: Ragnarok - I'm not like amped for this game, but I know it's gonna be a solid time for sure.  It's sorta the same mood I have for Horizon 2 whenever I get to that, I know it'll be a very decent game, but I don't have big energy for it.

CoD: Modern Warfare 2 - This was abit of a surprise for me.  I tried to get into MW1, because it seemed like a genuinely decent turn around for the series, becoming something more interesting to me.  I was getting more into it for Ground War, but sadly that mode wasn't great, and then they ended up focusing more on Warzone, which was alright.  I also didn't stick with it due to it being really poorly optimized for me.  MW2 though, they actually seem to be pushing for abit more depth and being a more hardcore shooter, rather than leaning more...well Call of Duty.  They are also seemingly making a mode that looks way better than Ground War (No full on Battlefield, they'll never go that far, but with the state of Battlefield right now, this looks like a fantastic alternative for the moment).  Other changes and additions seem cool and I'm sure Warzone 2.0 will be decent.  I'm also planning to get around my PC not being up to snuff for these games these days by getting it on Playstation 5 and playing it with keyboard and mouse.  Didn't register with me till recently that I could do that as it looks great on Playstation 5.  Hoping to enjoy the open beta tomorrow.

That's mostly it for big games at this point for the rest of the year.  I might get Pokemon Scarlet/Violet, kinda for the co-op, but I'm expecting it to be lacking a lot of features and things it should have, because Game Freak just doesn't make particularly good games, but that's just how it goes when having to rush these games out.

I have a few titles that are really interesting to me.
First is Trails to Zero which comes out in one week and I'm so ready! Also the rest of the Legend of Heroes game in the next years.
Valkyrie Elysium demo was great so I'm excited to play the whole game.
GranBlue Fantasy; ReLink will eventually come out and it's still my #1 anticipated game.
Diablo IV is nearing a release date and I can't be more ready. I have so many hours on D3 that it's my highest played console game.
Octopath Traveler 2 is getting a release on the PS. It's about time. Hope that also means that the first game will get released too.
Dragon quest has a few titles coming out. Treasures and Infinity Strash (stupid name however). I'm all about DQ games. :D

I'm sure there are others but I can not think of them currently.

You can already pre-order Legend of Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom at Best Buy  :o

I have mine fully paid for.

I've found that there are plenty of games that I'm looking forward too, but most will not be released for another 2-5 years. It's odd to think that the big hitters for me may not even release until the Playstation 6 is announced.  ???

What's coming sooner:
 - God of War Ragnarok
 - Zelda Tears of the Kingdom
 - Assassin's Creed Mirage (this is a maybe. More info needed)

Coming... your guess is as good as mine:
 - Instinction (releasing 2025?)
 - Mass Effect 5
 - Tomb Raider (current game in the works)
 - Witcher (new game)
 - Witcher 1 Remake (if it comes to PS5)
