So.. Chinese English is the same as the Japanese one? I'm a little confused.

 

[JayEH]

See nothing to worry about.

 

[pezzie]

Aaaaaaand, bought! Thanks GAF!

Now for the wicked long download session. Hopefully I'll get to play it tonight!

EDIT: Wow download speeds aren't awful tonight.

 

[Tohsaka]

Has anyone who ordered from Amazon Japan had theirs ship yet? Mine is listed as shipping today, hasn't moved though.

 

[Parakeetman]

I just want to know if it's a hot mess controls-wise and gameplay-wise like the first one.

The story of the first one was one of the darkest I've seen from NIS which interested me but even after playing Revival I hated the boring and clunky gameplay so much I couldn't keep playing it. I am more confident about this second one's story than about the actual game.

Anyway, looking forward to your thread.

You fiends! Patience

To give you an example of my case, (game was preordered way in advance though) my shipping order email arrived around 1900 last night (22nd). It arrived today though as you know am in Japan. So no idea on what goes on for those outside of the country who ordered.

Same really am hoping they improved over the first one, since gameplay mechanics and whatnots felt really rough along with other design issues that did not seem to get addressed in the PS4 rerelease either lol.

Thanks! Now to wait an estimated 8 hours....

Can't wait to jump in

 

[nbnt]

I can now sleep knowing that I'm downloading my GOTY.

Spoiler

Only to wake up to an error because my connection sucks. It says it's going to take 11 hours to download so thanks for not offering a preload, HK store. ;_;

At least its reversible.

This. It's how I managed to download Horizon Zero Dawn in under 4 hours. Twice.

 

[KO Traveling Hobo]

$100 for 10,000¥ FUCK

Taro Yoko's smile is priceless.

They put up a preload for the Chinese version, they freaked out because they thought that was the same version that they want.
Its not,games on HK store frequently have the chinese version and english version of a game.However because platinum arent stingy with language options, it just so happens that the chinese version will also have English when it releases.

:lol

Hong Kong Dollar PSN credit was on sale @playasia, so around $87 AUD to get it. If the JP/Eng version is the same pricing wise, its $398HKD for normal, $650HKD for all the perks.

Dang, that's like $60something in Ameribux. $40US cheaper than I paid. Oh well!

 

[Slaythe]

The attention to detail is so sick.

When you do "finishers", they made sure to make a few different looking ones so that they don't look too repetitive if you do them in a row.

This game man.

 

[Phenomenal Flea]

Best part about this is I literally have zero time to play it right now... ｡ﾟヽ(ﾟ｀Д´&#65439ﾉﾟ｡ ・

Man, I ordered my copy from the Square e-store, and it still hasn't arrived yet. This is so painful. ;-;

 

[Planisphaerium]

Watching a boss stream and this is glorious and whacky as shit. Looks amazing.

Never ordered anything from them before so am unsure of what their shipping schedule is like.

I set the delivery time to before 12, but it sure is taking its sweet time.

Your photo was so cool, though, so it made me jealous, haha!

 

[TankRizzo]

$69 bucks for the $500 HK bux. $5 more than NA digital including tax.

 

[BBPunjabi816]

Thanks for sharing the link ^_^
I hope i could calm you guys in your stressfull 50 minutes.

Yeah definitely helped, but gotta admit that it freaked me out at first lol.

Thanks lol.

Im more sad I missed out on the JP BlackBox edition. Totally slipped my mind the day POs went live. From what I understand it sold out pretty quick. As usual seems like tons of scalpers grabbed it looking at the Amazon marketplace where folks are selling their preorders for insane amounts.

Was surprised the Western BB edition didnt sell out that fast. Was tempted to grab one but the shipping over was something didnt want to bother with. Esp if box gets damaged in transit going to be SOL. D:

 

[Kazuo Hirai]

So far, yes.

Hope it git gud

 

[Shizuka]

I wish I could play at least the first hour before going to bed, but it's not happening. Oh well, at least the full thing will be downloaded when I get home from work.

Bought some moar HDK, currently downloading at a snail's pace.

Fucking hell. Videos are showing up on my youtube recommendations. I'm afraid of getting spoiled.

Let me take a guess. You need to do that "sidequest" they were talking about, or else you get locked into route A again?
