Romier S Posted December 11, 2020 Author Report Share Posted December 11, 2020 Standard retail copy is coming later in 2021 for those not wanting to spend $250 on that ridiculous collectors edition from iam8bit.com. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Angry the Clown Posted December 11, 2020 Report Share Posted December 11, 2020 Really great to see it finally come to consoles. My MacBook Pro is too old to run it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Romier S Posted March 29, 2021 Author Report Share Posted March 29, 2021 This finally releases tomorrow. I have held off on jumping into anything else after finishing my trip through Dark Souls 2 specifically in anticipation of this. I may take a day off of work to really jump in.:) Angry the Clown 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Angry the Clown Posted March 29, 2021 Report Share Posted March 29, 2021 It's definitely one I want to pick up at some point this year. Strangely I've never seen a pre-order listing for it on the UK PSN so I'm not even sure what the launch price is. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The price is £34.99/$39.99. Angry the Clown 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Angry the Clown Posted March 29, 2021 Report Share Posted March 29, 2021 Thanks. Good price. I have a little more than that in my PSN wallet. Tempting, but I must confront more from my backlog first I think. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Romier S Posted March 30, 2021 Author Report Share Posted March 30, 2021 It looks like the game is launching with 20% off on PSN, too! Starhawk and Angry the Clown 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Angry the Clown Posted March 30, 2021 Report Share Posted March 30, 2021 That may make it harder to resist (I can't imagine it being much cheaper at any point later in the year... though I can imagine it coming to Game Pass once it rolls out on the Series X). Gone 8am and it's still not on the UK PSN (*edit* apparently we have to wait until 6pm. Very odd way to launch a game these days). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Angry the Clown Posted March 30, 2021 Report Share Posted March 30, 2021 Are lack of pre-orders and pre-installs becoming more common these days, or is this an odd exception? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Odd exception. This is a smaller release with a truncated schedule. They’ve been saying “March” for awhile but didn’t pin down the exact date until what? A week and a half ago, I think?

Angry the Clown Posted March 30, 2021 Report Share Posted March 30, 2021 I still may hold off on getting it so soon but I am very eager to play the game (I hear it has good long term replay value too). We'll see what's in the PSN sale tomorrow as the credit in my wallet may be better spent there. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Romier S Posted March 30, 2021 Author Report Share Posted March 30, 2021 Its up and purchased in the US with the 20% PS Plus discount. $33 bucks. Angry the Clown 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Angry the Clown Posted March 30, 2021 Report Share Posted March 30, 2021 It's £26.39 here. I've a little more in my PSN wallet than I thought, so I'll sit back and see what's in the Sale tomorrow. Hopefully I'll find something that appeals there and still have funds left over for this, though I'm still not sure when I'll fit it in amongst my backlog schedule (I pretty much know what games I'm going to be playing between now and mid June).

Romier S Posted March 30, 2021 Author Report Share Posted March 30, 2021 I only got to play for about two hours but I'm in love. The writing and atmosphere is incredible so far. This is a purely text/conversation driven game. I don't even know if there is "combat" in this with the way its structured and I /love/ the perks system and how it plays out in conversation. One early perk check was my trying to flash a look at a young woman I was talking to to let her know I wanted her. The failure led to an amazing exchange between the two that got a real laugh out of me. I don't know if "succeeding" would have gave me a better option there.

Angry the Clown Posted March 31, 2021 Report Share Posted March 31, 2021 Nothing in the PSN Sale appealed so I've grabbed this for it to sit on the SSD until.... I don't know when (Xbox owners can thank me when it hits Game Pass ). I've seen some talk of the PS5 version being pretty buggy (missing voices where there's voices on PC, choppy frame rate, some control, interaction and other performance bugs...etc) so I may benefit from waiting for a patch or two anyway, which I've faith will come as the developers were apparently very supportive of the original PC release. Fun to see an example of the PS5's file size improvements (it's over 1GB smaller than the PS4 download). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Romier S Posted April 9, 2021 Author Report Share Posted April 9, 2021 Patch 1.2 hit about two days ago. There are still reports of a number of bugs and issues and I want this to be a damned clean experience so I've put the breaks on my playthrough. The developers have already announced 1.3 and it will have even more fixes so I'll assess again post 1.3. I have plenty to play in the meantime and I've waited this long....In the interim some music: Angry the Clown 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Romier S Posted April 9, 2021 Author Report Share Posted April 9, 2021 They posted about the 1.3 patch. It tackles just about all of the major bugs left over. Very cool! https://discoelysium.com/devblog/2021/04/09/a-word-on-playstation-patches-brother I like the transparency and their moving quickly to get the game in the right state.

Angry the Clown Posted April 9, 2021 Report Share Posted April 9, 2021 Excellent. Opted to take a bit of a break from games this month, though plan to do a run through on Mario Galaxy before Village is out, then I'll get Last of Us II before diving into this (though I might want something more colourful and fluffy between the two).

Romier S Posted April 9, 2021 Author Report Share Posted April 9, 2021 The good news is that the delayed nature of the physical release means that we should see the fully patched game on the disc when it does finally release. That is, of course highly dependent on when they are scheduled to start pressing those discs but I do hope that is the case.
