    You based your purchase on a preorder bonus? A game that you were excited for based on the team behind it?

    This game is getting decent reviews, and it's on my list of things to buy when I get some money freed up.

    Akira Yamaoka almost makes this an insta-buy for me, then I read about how campy and over-the-top it is, and was completely sold on it.

    I too have been playing this game and enjoying it quite a bit. This game is like a crazy cross of Devil May Cry (action) Resident Evil (slight scares and campy) and the music is amazing. I have only found myself having slight difficulties with the controls here and there. For instance your health is recharged by drinking (sake) but the button to do that is a trigger button so when a battle gets a little crazy I sometimes accidently hit the health button instead. If your a Suda fan you should really check it out. This game at least in my part of town seems very limited in copies.

    i base all day 1 purchases on preorder bonuses lol


    only time i deviate is when its a game i absolutely positively HAVE to have on day 1 (usually shooters due to me not wanting to be at a disadvantage a week or 2 later when everyone else has memorized the maps & i end up getting raped nonstop until i catch up) or games where i've literally waited 4 years to get i.e, mgs4, fallout 3, gta4


    i didnt say im not buying it, im just not buying it at full retail when i can just wait 2 weeks for the inevitable price drop or amazon 45 dollar 1 day special that i anticipate dropping any day now

    That's the ONLY good reason to preorder a game, AFAIC. Honesty, what's the point otherwise? You could just buy it when it releases without going through the added, pointless hassle of preordering.

    A game that you were excited for based on the team behind it?
    Which won't change if he purchases it later, for cheaper. Actually, that's not true. Sometimes you get even more content for less when you wait to purchase a game.

    Wait, you base what you buy on how much disposable income you have?

    You see how that works?

    Heck, if you didn't chump at the bit to purchase games early, you could afford to buy twice as many, at least.

    I'm waiting too. Amazon will certainly have this sub-$50 in a week or two. That and I'm neck deep into Infamous 2.

    I became interested in this game from a write up I read in a magazine. It's another one I have on my radar but I'm not sure when I'm going to pull the buy trigger.

    The soundtrack in this game is killer and by far the best aspect of the game. Definately worth my 60 bucks. Akira Yamaoka is second to none imo. Silent Hill just won't be the same without him.

    just got mine in the mail (found it new and sealed on ebay for 40 shipped) and came in just to agree with you on the music


    the rest of the game....so far....not so much


    but its early, i'm sure it'll pick up soon, the humor is really falling flat on its face so far, i knew this game would be nothing but dick jokes, but i thought it would be one of those "so corny its funny" affairs, this shit is just so corny i want to jam an ice pick into my ear drums
