Fuck yeah, totally getting the 4 pack with my friends.
Only thing I'm not a huge fan of here is "The Ripper", I hope it isn't OP and ruins everything at the beginning. Hopefully you at least have to complete the intro sequence or tutorial to receive it.
Also, glad they didn't pull off any real huge dick moves with pre-order exclusivity. You get early access to a weapon (as in others will have to work for it) and get to play dlc which will be made completely free and available after a month. Source for it being free after a month: In the steam promotion thing that appears after you exit a game, it says DLC will be free after a month.
And it doesn't really count as day 1 dlc seeing as how it's pretty much a whole new mode with it's own leaderboards and stuff.
I have a feeling this is going to be a console port
[QUOTE=RichyZ;31231408]from what i read it looks like it will be available to people who preordered in a month for free, while the rest will pay, going off of the store page[/QUOTE]
Do you know just how wrong you read that? It's saying that pre-orderers will get it on release, and non pre-orderers will get it a month after release.
-snip-
i stupid
I really, really enjoy the new trailer.
[QUOTE=RichyZ;31231555]it says that you will get the ripper on release, and after a month, the arena
it's not a day one dlc, it's like the back to karkand pack for bf3[/QUOTE]
...I didn't say it was day one dlc.
It's day 1 DLC for pre order incentive. no where in there does it say a month down the line that the same DLC will be free
Or is the blood bath arena going to be released after a month for pre order people and regular people?

It won't be, that's the point of pre-ordering it so you get it both early and for free.

So to be clear. The pre-order will have the Blood Bath Arena and the Weapon on day 1 of release? while other players will have to wait a month to purchase both?

I may have misread it, but I think when the Blood Bath Arena does come out (1 month after release) then it's free for those who pre-ordered it. My mistake.
They need to make this a bit clearer.
I'm going to wait for the game to release so I can read some reviews. I don't trust many games these days.

Years ago, there was once a time where I could walk into a video game store when I needed a new game to play, and just pick out any game that interests me and I would enjoy it and play it to death. Now I have to read reviews and shit before I spend my money to make sure it's a game I'll like.
It's not showing any prices or a pre-purchase button anywhere on it's store page.
Wow, you guys can be really dumb.

Read that.
RIPPER - DAY 1, FREE.
BLOODBATH ARENA - 1 MONTH LATER, FREE.
Quite tempting but I can get it retail for 32€ compared to Steam's 50€ price.

Bound in blood is chrome engine 4. This is chrome engine 5 so maybe.

It's not even showing a price for me.

I fail to see what you're trying to say at all. Bad games have always been coming out.
No local co-op. :crying:
Which means there is no chance that I'll ever get to play this with a friend, at least not the coming years. :saddowns:
Hadn't heard of this game before, but the trailer looks awesome.
I do want the game but I don't have a reason to trust that it'll be good like Skyrim, SR3, and BF3 so I'm not preordering to see what everyone else thinks.
Anyone want to get in on the 4 pack deal?
Specs seem pretty managable and it doesn't cost $90 (yet) so I might get this when I get the cash.
[QUOTE=Artyom;31232132]Wow, you guys can be really dumb.

BLOODBATH ARENA - 1 MONTH LATER, FREE.[/QUOTE]
Point out where it says the DLC will be free one month later. It only states that it will become available.
Me! :v:

oh god how
[QUOTE=Alex_DeLarge;31234001]Anyone want to get in on the 4 pack deal?[/QUOTE]
I'm kind of interested, but I'm not sure yet.
With that many games coming this year I don't want to put a penny at something I won't enjoy fully, so i'm being a bit careful. And as I said before, I don't have anyone to play with, which makes it all even worse.
How long is this game, roughly? Anyone that knows?
Shit, guess I'll have to spend more money now....

Well, it's open-world, has tons of "quests", so I say the same length as any open world fps.
