Seeing as Canada doesn't use the PEGI ratings, I think this is a batch of Saputo product that originated from Europe.
Get Beyond Good & Evil Free With...Cheese?
I've never seen that particular brand of cheese strings before, but I'll totally hit up my dairy isle.
Damn. I love both of those things. I just wish the cheese came with the game, rather than the game coming with the cheese.
"LordAndrew said:I'm well aware. But look at the rating. That's a PEGI rating. Those are used in Europe. In Candada we use the ESRB, just like the US.
Wait. Some cheese brand is gving away European copies of Beyond Good and Evil to Canadian cheese-eaters?
You do know that Ubisoft has a pretty big studio in Montreal right? lol"
I've never played Beyond good or evil so I'm all for playing it (Though that's pretty low), just one question... How the hell are they going to keep those in the freezer with the cheesestrings!
Beyond Good and Evil is a great game. I bought it nice and cheap on Steam. However, I don't intend to pay $50 for a game that lasts around 10 or 12 hours when I can get ones with a lot more lasting value for the same price. It's not a matter of if it's worth the price or not per se, so much as it is a matter of whether or not I can get more for $50 with another game. That doesn't mean I want them to pull a Wind Waker where they put in a bunch of tedious nonsense just to pad out the game length either. Game developers need to come off of this notion that every retail game needs to be released at the exact same price. A few have, but most simply don't get it.
Wow! may have to get this, just got the PS2 version a couple months ago..
But why Pegi? Canada uses ESRB..
"The reason why there is a PEGI logo on the game is because in Quebec the majority of people speak French and unless the it's a triple A game or a console game (excluding handhelds), publishers use the european version of the game (with PEGI) instead of creating a North American version in french with the ESRB logo."I'm not sure about the PC version, but the North American PS2 version contains English, French, and Spanish language options. So I doubt that's necessary in this case.
Hey, at least get a good game, so far out of all the free games I got with crappy food, V-Rally 2:Championship Edition and Tony Hawk Pro Skater 2 for PC was the only good ones. I once got a really bad version of Monopoly Westwood made.
It's weird posters here are saying this game has plenty of copies, since the PS2 and Gamecube versions are hard to find. Granted, they put it in the "That's Hot" Ubisoft PC range in Australia (The one I bought), so there's plenty more PC copies on top the original ones. It's their fault.
The whole thing reminds me of Chex Quest now that I've thought about it more.
Also, I'm bummed because I've never gotten a game for free with any food product ever. Chex Quest I didn't get because I never liked Chex but a friend of mine gave me the disc when I was younger because he had two of them or something like that.
I made the decision back in the day to pass on BG&E mainly because I didn't buy into the hype and didn't like the look of the stealth sequences. But if they're giving it away with cheese, and with a probably-much-better sequel on the horizon, now is as good a time as any to check it out.
I'm not sure about the PC version, but the North American PS2 version contains English, French, and Spanish language options. So I doubt that's necessary in this case.It's only recently that publishers have been using the ESRB rating system on PC games that are in French.
As someone who played beyond good and evil and adored it, i feel a little sad that a game of this calibur would be tied in with poor quality cheese.
If I lived in Canada, I would consider this an amazing opportunity to buy a ton of string cheese for myself, and then give a copy of the game to everyone I know. Everybody wins!
I bought that game shortly after its release and it sits proudly on my game collection. If something good comes out of this is that at least more people will be exposed to it but still... that just has to be freaking depressing for the developers. If at least it came included in a PC gaming magazine but on sliced chesse?!
