Amazon order shipped today, so should be good to go tomorrow. Pumped for this, and this wasn't really even on my radar a few weeks ago but reviews swayed me. Wish I had a PS4 Pro, but think I'll hard pass with a good gaming pc. Interested to see the Zelda reviews soon as well

I'll pick up my copy tomorrow at BB but did this get released early?

No, I assume what Bandwagon meant by "today" is that the digital version is out at midnight EST and 2100 PST.

Amazon still hasn't shipped mine. Not worried about them failing to get it here, since they just ship it overnight, but it's irritating that it has been labeled as "Shipping Soon" since Friday. If they'd actually shipped it Friday I'd very likely have received it this morning.

So from what I've seen so far, I will admit to being pleasantly surprised, the story is a bit over dramatic at times, but it didn't go "all in" with "white men are bad" trope. Graphics are top-notch, combat is meh (except when fighting the dino's at range using all the various abilities), story is brutal at times. Not worth all the high praise, but it -is- good.

Nier: Automata though...GOTY.

I played about 1.5 hours.

Game is ridiculously gorgeous, and runs very smooth.

Sucks that I have to work Tomorow.

Thought I'd check it out a bit after it unlocked at midnight...And now it's 2:30.

Im loving the thing so far. Exactly what was advertised in the original promos

Same here. I played a little more this morning before work.

I'm not that deep into the game yet, but it's scratching every itch I have.

I can't think of a single thing I don't love about it so far (after 90mins of playing)

Sounds like Far Cry Primal for the most part with some shoe horned SJW virtue signalling tossed in for whatever reason. I liked Primal, but I bought it long after release on the cheap which is what I expect to do with this game if it ends up not being a grind fest single player MMO type experience it looks like at a glance. Besides, I got a massive backlog approaching, with Neir and ME around the corner....

Main character is a strong woman, outcast from a matriarchal society.

That's about the extent of the SJW stuff I've seen so far, which doesn't really qualify as SJW bullshit to me.

There's no "women can do anything men can do!!!!11!!" Yet. It's just a woman raised by a man in the wild so far.

I'm pretty sensitive to the SJW stuff too, but nothing has bothered me with it.

I am planning on playing ME, so obviously SJW crap is not a deal breaker for me, though it does diminish my opinion of a game when its blatant. Mainly, I just have plans for other games to take my time and don't feel like doing another 3rd person sandbox game so soon after just completing the last Tomb Raider.

Yeah I know. But the ME multiplayer (and indeed DA3 MP) were some of the most enjoyable multiplayer games I have done in years. The world needs more COOP MP and less tea bagging your moma jokes MP.

I did the same thing this morning, squeezed in 45 minutes before work. :)

I'm enjoying what I've seen so far. I unlocked all my freebies from pre-order of the deluxe digital edition. So weapons, armor, and other stuff.

I haven't spent any of my skill points yet, I am level 4. I had so little time to play that I didn't want to waste it reading about the skills, I did that at work during lunch break, so I have an idea of what I'll get tonight.

I am loving the combat so far in this. It's all about the setup, and using the right weapon on the right point. You can one-shot a lot of the starting robots, but if you screw up and they hit you, they take 1/3 to 1/2 of your life, so it's pretty interesting.

I like that quests are divided cleanly by Main Quest, Side Quest and Errands. It looks like there are a lot of stuff to collect too.

A personal preference, but if you're annoyed by the HUD being up all the time(it does take a lot of screen estate), put it in dynamic mode, where it disappears when not needed...it allows you to enjoy the environment more. :)

Da3 multi-player was fucking horrible.


So confuse.

Did you play it a few patches in when they added the dragons? Wife and I would side by side that shit with pickups and really enjoyed it.
