I have an Athlon 64 3200, 2 gig ram, 7800 GT, mostly high/medium settings and have been able to run everything mentioned in this thread fine, whether I have it or not. And I'm not saying I do. Or don't.

Could please anyone explain to me why at this day and age a beta registration form still:
- doesn't support umlauts or unicode characters. The signup page crashes with a server error if I enter my name with umlauts.
- still requires Usernames to be without Whitespace and only use the Ascii-Character set, every damn free forum software out there can do this for years now
- obviously assumes that every person is from the US even if they keep releasing pre order codes in europe and asia.

It isn't impossible to get SP2 if your key has met with misfortune. Tedious, perhaps. I don't avdocate piracy, expecially with how cheap WinXP keys are these days. |

What the fuck is this? I'm not sure I understand at all why the "pre-order" is $10, is that $10 for the honor of having pre-ordered that goes towards the purchase of the game? Do I loose those $10? God I fucking hate best buy... Meanwhile you still can't set the shit to pick up in store, and express delivery costs $12-17 and says the game will be there on 11/2.

The local Best Buy has many boxes in the store here. I bought one for $10. The $10 is removed from the cost of the full box when you buy it retail.

I had a long discussion yesterday with Killjoy about how one should never preorder anything, especially from EB but generally anyone. We reiterated it again today as he was picking up his non-preordered Orange Box at EB (yesterday it was "We're getting a limited amount, you should preorder" and today there is a literal crate of them). This thread is becoming a monument to our No Preorders policy.

Good luck getting a copy of Disgaea 3 without a preorder. There's a time and place for them.
Just know which is which.

I do. Basically if it's not hyuh, hyuh or hyuh, then I have to get crafty or make some phone calls. Hell, I'll order it from ebgames.com as long as I don't have to go to the store. I won't need a preorder for Disgaea 3. If I do, there's something Rotten in the Prefecture of Gifu. |

I have no problem Pre-ordering xbox games at my local EB. As long as they are games I know I will be buying, it doesnt hurt, and then I know I will have a copy waiting for me on release day.

That's fine. I won't stop you. I won't have to worry about not getting my beta keys, or find out that Wal*Mart is including the packin that EB is giving only to preorders (and their employees), or attempt to communicate with a troglodyte that cannot successfully operate the computer terminal, or pick up a box on the shelf and be told that they don't actually have any, etc, and I feel great about that. It's bitten me often enough that I don't feel the need to deal with the hassle in exchange for zero benefit.

I fail to see how the fact that you cannot get a beta key without a pre-order is somehow a wining argument against pre-orders. |

So... now I find out that this game has humor in it? I had it described to me as comparable to Monkey Island. So... wtf?

Hellgate has the same sense of humor Diablo had. It's sparse, but very well done.
I don't know if they're in there, but I suspect we'll see a cow level.

Uh, it's an MMORPG. Guild Wars like even. You just have the option to play offline. Worthless option imo. |

"The source" would be the dude I work with that's telling me all about it. What he's telling me I can not repeat due to not wanting to get wacked by Schild, but I'm starting to doubt my co-workers game reviewing skills because what he's saying does not match what everyone else is saying. Oh well. |

Dude. He's got someone on the inside.... Which is not hard... because you can get in with a $10 refundable pre-order. They should just drop the stupid NDA now. |

I agree. If I had finally gotten an invite and had been playing, the game could probably be summed up in a single, short sentence. |

The part I failed to mention was that I'm not really interested in getting a beta key. If I was hot for it, things would be different. I'd also preorder if there was some trinket I wanted that was only available via preorder, but I'm finding that I don't care for that stuff as much as I once did. |
