Ot is great 6 more days unless I find a broken street date somewhere in my small town, fake spoiler I wont.

I'd have a better chance of Amazon shipping early to me. Unless someone is slanging copies from their trunk for $125 from Craigslist

Survivor and survivor+ are actually surprisingly easy (assuming you've played the game on a lower difficulty and know the level layouts.) Neither one gave me much trouble.

I started a survivor playthrough and I only got to the

I could have kept going, but I get frustrated easily when I die a lot in games.

No matter how much I love a game or how brilliant it is, I cannot be arsed to get trophies/achievements. They're just something that really never took hold for me.

Trophies for me are just extra objectives to get after I've played a game but want to continue playing. I never actively go for them my first time through a game.

But The Last of Us trophies I didn't bother trying to go after even on my 2nd playthrough. They take forever and aren't fun IMO.

I don't know why the scratched out june is making me lose it so bad.

Probably because it's not really all that far away from August.

 

[Badlucktroll]

Gaf, i can't buy this untill 2 days after it releases? Whatever shall i do, gaf?

Is Amazon known for shipping out new games early?

I really want to beat this on all the difficulties but I got frustrated in various areas on normal. Maybe knowing how the levels are setup will help though. Gonna give it a run on hard first and see how it goes.

Same here, trophies/achievements are meaningless for me. I pretty much ignore every one that pops up on screen.

Can I get that phone pic PM'd to me? Not the OT part.

It's happened before In the US but it's really unlikely. I've heard of some in EU getting games early from Amazon pretty frequently though.

Nope.

I'm a recovering achievement whore. Getting back into PC gaming after EAS'ing from the military had mostly to do with that.

My purchases of shame in the name of achievements last-gen:

X-Blades
Damnation
Onechanbara

All for $60.

I'm serious.

It was a dark time.

I also rented and 1000/1000'd Hannah Montana: The Movie and enjoyed it by drinking heavily and throwing on the Bombcast.

I'm the opposite, I love trophy hunting.

If it bothers you so much, you can turn off the trophy notifications.

I usually have all the notifications off.

Nothing worse than that truely emotional cutscene at the end of a game and *PING*

Who needs online? You have all the essentials right there! Lotion is a bad choice if you plan on really enjoying it though.

Nah it doesn't really bother me, I just don't pay much attention to them. I read them sometimes just out of curiosity but I never actively seek them out in games.

You really like that hashtag, don't you? Lol

I usually turn off trophy notifications during the first run through of every game. I don't know why but it takes away some immersion every time you complete a level and a notification pops up.

When I first got a 360 I had gamefly and went on quite the cheevo bender. Once I cane back down I stopped giving a shit but it is still a fond time in my gaming life.

You really like that hashtag, don't you? Lol

Yea, it feels really good every time I use it.

Every time I see that hashtag I think it says SIFMA and get confused.

Yea I might do this actually, is it in settings?

That doesn't bother me, it kinda helps me, let's me know when I've completed a chapter.

Yes. In the notifications section I believe.

 

[GrayFoxBH]

Can't wait to play this game!

Cool beans.

[unempLLOYD]

Regarding the multiplayer psn pre order bonus: If i pre order and buy it through an american account when i use a euro account as a main account, will my euro account get the pre order bonuses too or not?

Any1?

Oh, I just noticed you aren't a junior anymore! Congrats, noob!

 

[off duty ninja]

Just pounded this and I am feeling pretty good about team bottle:

Tomorrow I will probably be feeling like team brick again tho.

 

[Gray Matter]

Any1?

I think yes, I preordered digitally last year, and my sister who has an account on my ps3 got the bonuses. Should be the same, hopefully.

 

[Metfanant]

Just so I'm clear on the GameStop "trade up" offer...if I go in on Sunday with my PS3 copy...preorder the PS4 version and trade in the PS3 copy its only $25?

 

[antitrop]

You can keep your IPA.

 

[Sword Of Doom]

This screenshot in particular really stands out to me. The texturing in this version is fantastic, especially on his clothes/backpack.

Wow

That's the rumor going around, I believe gamestop still hasn't confirmed this.

 

[Lemondish]

Has anyone ever tried to trade in a game at GameStop without a case?

 

[Sword Of Doom]

I don't think TLOU had any trophies pop up until the very end

 

[gotstrangepowers]

Yeah, last thread said it worked fine. RIP

 

[bananafactory]

Yup, there's one for crafting 1 of every item I believe and it will pop as soon as you achieve that. Mine happened just over halfway through I believe.

Don't order from Amazon too often, but all items are listed as delivered "by 8PM" right? Because that's usually when they stop delivering stuff? Sorta like a placeholder, right? Is there a good chance I'll get it earlier?

Depends on where you live but I generally always receive mine no earlier than around 11 AM and no later than about 3-4 PM. (living in Florida)

Yup. That's why I don't buy games from amazon. I could easily miss the delivery.

Mine is totally dependent on UPS. Sometimes as late as 9:00PM.

Alright cool I'll be home all day the 29th. Thanks.

Really hope not. Was it a bad idea ordering from Amazon?

Honestly depends where you live. In my experience Amazon ships with UPS for release day delivery, and I've never received a game later than 5:00 pm
