I guess I'm a little confused. I was thinking this place that's hosting the tournament would be states away and I obviously couldn't make it there, but being from Rochester, MN, it only hurts more not to be able to attend this event. And it appears the only way you can get beta keys is host a tournament. Is this true? Because I'm really looking for a beta key, that's all.
I have a question, I have a pc that will easily max this game, but only have a monitor with a max resolution of 1280 X 1024. Would it still be worth it to get it on pc or should I stick with Xbox?
I agree with this, and this is what confuses me. Why not release it earlier. I understand there are things to be done with the localization side of the release, but possibly try to work a little faster to even release the title in September, which isn't quite as busy of a month. PenquinDust is correct. I myself am also looking forward to games like Uncharted 2, and Dragon's Age: Origins looks interesting enough, being from Bioware, and along with the other titles he brought up, which would be choices that someone might like who would be buying Demon's Souls, it's hard to see Atlus reasoning for it's release in October.
Keep in mind, I'll be getting my import in the next day or two and have already preordered the Deluxe Version, but for the people who are only planning on buying a couple games this year, why not try to release it earlier to build more revenue. A good case in point was Mercenaries 2 last year. They released that in August and got pretty decent sales, but tell me would it have gotten them same amount of sales in October or even Novemeber? Not really, it was just one of the first games to come out during the Fall season and people needed something to play.
" I've heard about this game for a while but it's still not available on the US market (soon though) so I'll take a closer look when it gets here. According to Gamestop it will come out October 6, 2009.EDIT: October is a horrible time to release a game like this though so expect low numbers to be available initially. I'm certain it will get lost in the shuffle of all the high profile games being released for the holidays. "
This is very true. October, especially seems to be a month of high profile games coming out. I'm kind of confused why Atlus isn't releasing it sooner. But because of the wait, my money went to import to get some experience, and then I'll be buying the N.A. version when it's available.
" I don't mean to be a jerk or anything, but can one of you guys explain to me exactly what makes this game worthwhile? I see gameplay videos of it from time to time, and it always looks kind of bad to me, but a bunch of people here seem to be really excited for it. I assume there must be a good reason. "
I think the difficulty will draw some players in, but to me, it's a mixture of the realism of the physics based combat, difficulty, dungeon crawl aspect, loot based gameplay, multiplayer aspect, and the replay value is what intrigues me. I'm very excited about this game and will be preordering the Deluxe Edition tomorrow when it's available.
If I'm able to get the import cheap, I think I'm gonna go for it even though the NA Version is coming out in October, but I had a couple questions. I still plan on getting the NA version and was wondering do you suppose they'd have the same save game file? Would the trophies transfer over? Would I be playing on the same servers?
I wonder what it entails though. Will it be like some of the DLC for Bioshock over the Xbox live where you could get some more plasmids and such or will it be something more worthwhile? I'm gonna go with option A. I think they're actually just trying to let the people who own a PS3 feel special for a bit.
