Has anyone been following this? I've seen a few previews and the IGN hands-on sounded mostly favorable.

Preordered. Wish the special edition were available here - art is gorgeous. Seems hack and slashy. Has boobs. I give it a 13/10.
For some reason, I fear it's going to perform for shit though.

Well, the IGN hands-on mentioned "a few hitches and bugs." I'm hoping it's not Gothic 3 levels of bad coding but the storyline and game play sounded really interesting.

It's been in development forever and has been due for release "this Christmas" for something like 3-4 consecutive years now.
I saw a demo at E306 and, while they talked a good game, they didn't have much to actually show for all the time spent.

After seeing schild's mention of it having boobies, I thought you're quote was "a few bitches and hugs." Damn stream of consciousness. |
I was drinking when I wrote this, so sue me if it goes astray.

One thing that I thought was funny, if you have sex with a woman in the game you get some kind of trading card. Finally, a collectible card game based off of screwing loose virtual women! |

That's almost as good as the gay trading cards in Shadow Hearts 2. |

I don't think I'd really looked at this game until this post and I gotta say, I'm intrigued. I'm a little disappointed that you can't roll up your own character (at least that's the way it looks) but looking at some of the features, it looks like it's still a pretty engaging game. I was considering Hellgate for the end of the month, but his might get my money instead.
Because it's got undead boobies.
Does Hellgate have boobies, undead or otherwise?

While you're wandering this lovely world, you should also take care to notice the beautiful ladies… and try to have sex with them. You'll get a nifty collectable card with each! http://pc.ign.com/articles/828/828211p2.html |

I'm interested in the allegedly morally grey decisions you can alledgely make, so that saving someone's life might bite you in the ass, but letting them die might not be a good thing either.

I love games set in fantasy-medieval Europe where the player and all the NPCs have American accents. It's immersive.
Also, that trailer got really fucking old by the end of it, I've heard a better version of that monologue in countless films.

Has any game really succeeded yet at a game with morally grey decisions? I struggling to come up with anything other than the completely black and white choices that most non-linear RPG's have run with. |

Depends on how strictly you define 'morally grey'. Fallout & Fallout 2 did, in my opinion, provide that variety.

I should get back to nature, too. You know, like going to a shop for groceries instead of the computer. Maybe a condo in the woods that doesn't even have a health club or restaurant attached. Buy a car with only two cup holders or something. -Signe

"Your momma suck dwarf's cock"  I think they just set a new trend for 'gritty' medieval dialogue. And the story came from Europe? :O |

Yeah, I love Japanese games, set in Japan where everyone looks like a Westerner and speaks with American accents. |

I'm not sure if they have original voice-acting in Polish(?) in the Euro version, Oh, someone in RPGCodex in Europe has played it and shows us a few of the 'sex' card rewards. http://www.rpgcodex.net/phpBB/viewtopic.php?t=20967&start=25 |

I wonder if those cards will end up censored in America. I know I'm gonna get razzed but those were more tasteful than I thought and actually pretty decent artwork.
Hmmm....

Lots of stuff in the US edition is getting censored. I'm buying the US edition and acquiring the British one. Because let's be fair, tits.

This censor shit pisses me off. If I got the British one would it work on my computer? I guess I'd need a region free DVD player or something. Is there a list of what's getting censored? |

I found this website that will ship it to you: game.co.ukI don't know about digital download options. The collectors edition sounds sweet, it has an art book, soundtrack, a medallion, and a few other things. |

D'oh! Have you ever noticed how other countries get sweet collector's editions and we get a making of dvd? Especially on Japanese RPgs. Some of those have made me wish I read Japanese. (if I didn't suck at foreign languages I'd consider trying to learn it.) |

On quite a few NA releases of JP games, the NA version is a localized "director's cut". Just saying. I think Rogue Galaxy is a recent example.

Yeah but I was just trying to point out that things like this happen all the time and it's kind of silly to pick out one game to criticize for it. I broke down and ordered the UK version. Apparently it's not region specific which was my big worry. Screw censorship. I want my boobies! |

The more I've thought about this, the more it bothers me and the more I want to get a foreign, uncensored version. Not because of teh bewbs (though those cards are well-done) or anything, just because it goes against american values (the old, pre-pussification values) to censor stuff. I've fucking had it with religious douches who feel like it's their job to tell others what is and isn't indecent...censorship is what I find indecent.
Schild, I really wish you /wouldn't/ buy a US version, that nobody here buy it. UK pplz, please list some good, legit sites to order from and EVERYONE get them there.
(I also dig quite a few eastern bloc games, bugs or not)

You mean before the Puritans arrived? If I get this game, it will be the uncensored version. I'm incensed at censure! |

Puritans were English refugees from political oppression long before there was an america. I'm talking about the Constitution, Bill of Rights, etc. Jackass.
Tried to order at game.co.uk, can't get past the final confirmation at checkout, very vague reason (none, really) given. Trying to contact their tech support. Dammit.

Agreed. I hope this game isn't "Eastern European suck". Because with exchange I think I spent almost $90. Still....I think it's worth it to let Atari know I'm not buying censored shit.
