Okay, Blackhawk and I discussed it. This belongs over in The Bargain Bin.

But it's a new game! Just because it's a sequel where the original didn't sell well forcing the lower price point.

It's a prequel, not a sequel.
That's why the Orc can be a samurai. If the game was a sequel, the Orc would be a Yakuza.

Are you telling me I can't be a Dwarven Kamikaze?

I think you mods got it wrong in moving this thread. I'm tired of this uneven, behind the scenes moderation. I'm outta here!

Well, thanks to the OO forum effect (happy to see that it's still as potent as ever, sigh), I picked this up on the way home from work. I went to install it and my copy had no CD key. Unbelievable! First time that has ever happened to me, and of course it had to be THIS game. I can't believe I actually have to drive back to the store tonight IN THE RAIN, find parking, and then beg some gamestore kiddie 10 years younger than me to let me return this open software for another copy, which I will be checking before leaving the store thankyouverymuch.
That's it, I give up. That's the last time I put up with this crap. I've had it with CD keys, and CDs, and kiddie game clerks (it was probably him who stole the CD key out of the gutted box LOL). From now on, I am only buying games through things like Steam.

Does the patch bring it up to 30?

I can't believe that score. Greg Kasavin is such a dick.

Thanks Ed.

You're the worst person in the world (worse than gay robots!) for wanting to download a game. I'd write a 16 paragraph diatribe on how that is true but I have to get back to washing my corvette with the letters DS painted on the side.

For $29.99 John Romero will make you his bitch.

The Chinaman is not the issue here, $iljanus!
I agree with the posters on the first page. Guys, you knew what this was going to be coming in. More of the same is exactly what I was looking for, and for $29.99 I'm not complaining.
The level with the bees was pretty annoying, though.

I heard they're patching the game to allow a different difficulty setting on that level.

Does anyone else think this game should be knocked down some in its rating because it is on rails. I mean I have almost no options to choose my own path, the NPCs are serisiously lacking and the scripted events get boring after the 5th time a bad guy jumps around the corner at you. Other than that the game is a game of the year contender. Well that and the story is pretty week, I mean you can't even see the main character in the cut scenes, does this mean that all of the other NPCs are blind?
Also, I can't believe the forum mods moved this topic, it clearly belongs in the games section.

X-Play gave it a 3 out of 5.

If it were a railroad sim NOT on wheels, I'd be PISSED!
That one train, where you go from Nebraska to Kansas? That level was amazing! They really captured the empty boredom of that voyage.
I didn't like the crazy raping buffalo though.

I hear there's a shortage and EB is charging $79.99 for the game. No freaking way someone is going to bend me over like that.

With prices like that, having this thread in the Bargain Bin is highly dubious.

Actually shouldn't this be posted in Unreleased Games? I don't think it is even out - heck, I haven't even seen the "Gold" announcement on Gone Gold yet.

Except, as one poster said (and I'm too lazy to look up the name) the part about the bees really did suck.
I don't know who wanted this moved to Unreleased Games, but I *have* a copy and am enjoying it. You must live in some backwater or something; suxxorz for you.

I might take you up on that. I love having more than one copy, for some reason. As of just now, I have 3 with 2 more from eBay ($33.50!) coming.
