OK, I've had a sort through my CE and I have to say I'm impressed. For someone who has invested in reading the books, the Adam Fenix memorabilia is great. A nice touch that to get him in the game his 'service number' is etched on the cog tag, which is incredibly heavy given what it is.

And a massive spoiler here, one that will only make sense if you have read the books...

You really don't want to be clicking this Nag, save it until you get yours.

The case the game comes in is is a spoofed version of the disc Prescott had stolen from him, except this version has Adam Fenix scrawled on the label. At 1st when I saw it I thought wtf is this shit, but it's a nice nod the books and their suggestion that the data disc could only be hacked with another disc.

Got mine, just installing it while dinner is cooking. Not enough time to play it before the food's done, unfortunately.

Edit: I think I meant to post that in the actual game thread... (thanks whoever moved this)

Edit 2: I played the first act.

The action was fun, and playing the same bit from 2 different viewpoints was quite cool.

I liked the look flashes to how Cole's life was before the war.

The stalks were a bit of a pain because it tells you to shoot the pods, but most of the time they're on the opposite side of the stalk to you.

Just got home from work, and nothing not even a bill!! gutted although i do have a redeem code from game for pre-ordering, tossers, i want the game not a code!!

Same here. :(

I'm alright with not getting it early but if it doesn't arrive on release day when I pre-ordered back in April, I won't be a happy bunny.

Finished it. Amazing. Simply amazing. It's been a long time since a game has gripped me on so many levels. Kudos go out to both Epic games and Karen Travis for creating such a marvellous concoction of digital entertainment.

Now I feel I can join other people without them spoiling it like has happened for other games. I'm looking forward to rocking some 4 player co-op or Horde/Beast mode. It's a game that deserves to be played, it's so well put together and puts a lot of other action games to shame.

Only just getting the chance to start her up, but I have been watching this video while eating lunch and feeling quite sick at how shocking all this is.

Yes yes, it's optional but a better preview option would be good and I think it's entirely some Activision-esque shit at "how much extra can we make out of this successful game?". The prices are absurd.

Got my copy this morning, just waiting to get home to play it. The flow of time seems to be conspiring against me this afternoon though :(

Was a bit shocked to see how much those skins were being sold for. They're cool enough but there's no need to be selling them, overpriced or otherwise. Just having them unlock as you progress through the game and meet certain requirements (similar to the titles in SFIV maybe) would've been far better.
