[quote]Reservations at "participating retailers" will entitle you to the "Sights and Sounds Pack," which includes the game's official soundtrack, a PS3 dynamic theme featuring the box art (pictured above), and two PSN avatars.[/quote] Thats how you do pre-order bonuses, items that don't even factor into gameplay, but are still worth having. [quote]Pre-ordering at GameStop will net you the aforementioned bonus as well as the "Survival Pack," which includes bonuses for the game's not-yet-revealed multiplayer mode. [b]You'll get bonus XP, a melee attack booster, in-game cash[/b], and special skins for multiplayer and single-player.[/quote] Day 1 advantages are not how you do pre-order bonuses
why why does this need multiplayer whyyy
[QUOTE=kanesenpai~;38773393]why why does this need multiplayer whyyy[/QUOTE] It hasn't effected the quality of the Uncharted games, I don't see a problem with it.
i fucking hate this stupid pre order bonus bullshit
i'll probs get the one with the soundtrack rather something of actual worth than a shitty skin i won't use
[QUOTE=God of Ashes;38773505]i fucking hate this stupid pre order bonus bullshit[/QUOTE] I see nothing wrong with these pre-order bonuses.
[QUOTE=Leather Belt;38773485]It hasn't effected the quality of the Uncharted games, I don't see a problem with it.[/QUOTE] Adding multiplayer takes time and resources that could be used for the SP instead, so obviously it effected it in some way.
I expected some artbooks and more non-digital goods.
[QUOTE=Timarley;38773563]I see nothing wrong with these pre-order bonuses.[/QUOTE] It's literally only for soaking up money and gives unnecessary bonuses in multiplayer games
They were probably pressured to add in multiplayer. It's just mind blowing to me that someone would purchase this game in particular for whatever multiplayer it might have over the amazing single player it seems to have. I'm honestly shocked that Bioshock Infinite won't have multiplayer.
They could have just added it because they like having multiplayer in their game. Uncharted 2 and 3 had it and it was a blast. Maybe it covers a story period independent of the singleplayer so fills in some plot details? Wait until we see it before judging it.
Y'know, if TLoU's multiplayer combat is at all comparable to single player (ie: survivors taking each other out by whatever means necessary, even if this means a pipe to the face), it could be pretty damn brutal. Right now though, literally all we know is that it exists, so I'm holding my reservations until more information is available.
I gotta say, I really like that box art.
[QUOTE=Fhux;38774199]Adding multiplayer takes time and resources that could be used for the SP instead, so obviously it effected it in some way.[/QUOTE] The SP in the Uncharted games has what is easily some of the highest production values seen in gaming, with phenomenally detailed environments, great characters, smooth gameplay, and a shitload of polish. If the MP took anything away from the SP, I sure didn't notice. Uncharted 3's singleplayer was a bit disappointing compared to its predecessor, but that's because they came up with the big set pieces and designed the story around them rather than the other way around.
[QUOTE=kanesenpai~;38773393]why why does this need multiplayer whyyy[/QUOTE] NaughtyDog's MP always feels like a tacked on bonus, but it's very solid and enough fun to be worthy to kill a few hours. Their main focus always seems to be on story and campaign so I'm not bothered.
Shit! Was hoping for some sexy outfits, that game needs more eye candy :D
